I stubbled accross this rich site while browsing the internet, thought I would share.
What I am wondering is what do the crystal cases they sell look like on the phone? Red crystal? Smoke crystal? Black crystal? Blue crystal? Sounds like it could be quite interesting...
Also they have TWO extended batteries for sale? One is 59.99, the other is 49.99?
None has heard of these options?
Do send them an email and ask them if these will fit the CDMA version of the phone. Remember, the CDMA version is slightly different then the GSM version! I ordered two plastic case for my Sprint TP only found out it won't fit because the size differences between the CDMA and GSM model.
ASK before buying. BTW go Sprint's B&M or online store, they have the Technocel case with belt clip for $25. Anti-slip and fits nicely.
I would beware of that "flip type case" on that site. It "looks" just like the one from PDair and it is squirrely in that the flap the snap is on does not quite go all the way around the top of the device so you have to tug on it to get it snapped and the one from PDair tends to come unsnapped. MANY of these type cases are actually made by a company that you can find on the web called "Monaco" and Monaco brands them for whomever wants to sell them. I'm pretty sure Monaco also makes the aluminum case they have on that site also. I am pretty sure it damaged the side of my TP and now the stylus is hard to pull out.
garbage
that site sucks
60 bucks for a 2GB card is RIDONKULOUS.
Does anyone know where I can get replacement parts or know if anyone is selling? I need the back cover. Thanks!
My work buddy got one from here:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-OEM-HTC-F...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item3efc183696
Cheaper can be found but they probably are copies & have a long trip from Hong Kong.
I got one for my Fuze off the Expansys website. Just a note, they sell the non-shinney european version of the battery cover. I wanted that one because the shinney version that came with my pphone showed fingerprints way too much. It says on their site that it's not compatable with the at&t Fuze, but it looks fine on mine. It's just...not shinney.
okay, I cant post a link to it...so Google Expansys USA then search their site for the HTC Touch Pro Battery Cover.
I'm wondering about this size issue of the T-Mobile USA vs EU T8525 vs AU T9193.
If i take the housing off the Tshmo USA and replace with an european 8525 housing I get off ebay, would I be dealing with issues like the digitizer being too big for housing or the wifi board not fitting in the housing? Where is the differential coming from?
I do not think LCD would be any different. I guess I look forward to a Tshmo USA DISASSEMBLY!!!
Any thoughts?

That sounds INSANELY unnecessary.
Well I do phone repair for lots of people so it isn't too crazy. Plus what if someone bought a T-Mobile USA HD2 and cracked housing outside of warranty and needed to repair for themselves. All that is on market right now is housing for european models from what I have seen. It's not to strange trust me.
i agree. but the only thing on the market is European because the phone has been out for 3 days... and people only could buy on day one.. no sales the last 2 days...
long story short... there will be housing for the new hd2 in due time, and anyone that needs housing already is an idiot in my mind (i mean the one that came out Wednesday)... and i hear the new hd2 is 1.5 mm taller... i don't think it would have been if it wasn't necessary...
Yeah but, don't you wanna find out WHY it is taller?

I got mine on friday, it wasn't advertised but a lot of the stores got shipments on both thrusday and friday.
Hahaha I wouldn't even try doing that. I have replace many housings nokia n95,n82,moto mings and their not too easy but i seen how they take the hd2 apart and it doesnt look something you can do just like that. you need a damn oven for the glue a freaking oven lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGSsk2mMq84
I did not use oven:

LOL are you sure? any how is the screen really glues into the pieces or its just a normal glue?
Normal glue? No such thing.
I used a hair dryer instead of an oven to weaken the glue bond that was between LCD and plastic mid-frame.
I believe most adhesives in cellphones are silicon based.

makes sence i usually just get a really this plastic card and slowly pull the screen out of the device while using the card to cut through the glue so far it has never failed me (not that im tring to use it on the hd2 unless i break it and i think ill go with ur idea better.
So my idea of swapping parts of US HD2 with Euro HD2 is not so crazy after all. This can mean lots of money saved pending on the fix and where your phone is from. Thanks to asterix005 for posting pics of Digitizer / Housing comparisons.
Anyone with more input on the idea of cross model repair, post in here!
Euro 8525 FITTING with Tmobile US housing:

New 8525 Euro Digitizer vs Tmobile Digitizer size comparison:
http://i933.photobucket.com/albums/ad178/asterix005/DSC00948.jpg
So the next logical question(s) to ask is:
"OTHER THAN PERFORMANCE, DO THE PARTS INTERNALLY DIFFER BETWEEN TMO US and 8525 EURO ON THE ISSUE OF SIZE / ARRANGEMENT?"
"WHY IS THE HOUSING 1.5mm LARGER ON TMOBILE US?"

It's just a guess, but an extra 512MB of RAM has to have somewhere to live
I was wondering the same thing... if I can tale my T-MoUS insides and put them in a t8585 casing. My main reason is there are lot's of nice leather cases for the euro model like the vaja case that won't fit my us hd2.
It doesn't have 512mb of extra ram

Yes, right, ROM....but it's still memory that would likely require a 2nd module.
Vaja Case

Are you certain the Vaja case wouldn't fit the american model? Just asking cause i placed an order without even thinking about the difference in size.

Pretty sure. The way it closes over the top of it won't work cause it won't reach over the top. Plus the vaja case is pretty exact fitting without any wiggle room. I contacted Vaja to see if they could make a version that fit the US model, but unfortunately they said they have no plans to. I have the noreve case which is made for the euro version, also, but luckily it does have some wiggle room and doesn't have such an exact fitting closing mechanism... so it fits decently. But you can tell that the volume button and camera are a couple mm higher up and the top goes a little higher. I had to cut a little extra off the camera hole.
Good luck... hopefully you can return or cancel the vaja case. Otherwise, if you get it and figure out a way to mod it to get it to fit, please let me know because I would love to have a vaja case. But I'm pretty sure it's not gonna fit without you modifying it someway. I don't know how you could mod it, though.
hi, this is actually mi first post here, but i am a little confuse. i have a t-mobile US hd2 and i'm looking for some accessories on ebay but some of them say that are for the t8585 but not compatible for the t-mobile us hd2. is there a real difference between them? i might think some software can be difference but are they different is size?
is this for real?
There is a size difference between the U.S. and the International versions. The U.S. version is larger and the phone jack is a bit different. The send key is green and the end key is red on the U.S. version. The keys on the International version are all white. The internal flash memory is 1024mb and the ram is 576mb on the U.S. version, while on the International version they are 512mb and 512 mb. The roms and radios are NOT interchangable between the two, but apps and themes generally are.
thanks freeincolorado
the size difference is fairly small (1.5mm), but it's enough to keep cases from fitting or aligning properly (like the camera lens and bottom ports, etc). From what I've seen, even the battery cover on the back is slightly different between the two, just fyi (US version has a small foam insert, T8585 version doesn't for some reason)
I got a digitizer off eBay t8585 they said it was for tmobile but when i got it it was the soder on one.
wall taking my hd2 apart I damaged the lcd ribincable.
IF i get a international lcd with the solder on connection for the international digitizer will it work with the tmobile hd2.
I put my two digitizers together to see if there is a size difference. I cant see one so maybe if I use both international lcd and digitizer together it will work in the tmobile version?
Korea china? Are there many i9505's made in Korea or are they all made in china? The Korean phones are usually more sought after and have better quality. Just wondering if we should expect these to be from china. That isn't my only concern. I'd rather buy Korean anyways because Samsung is investing a lot of money here and creating jobs. Blue and white collar jobs at that.

Exactly what u want isn't confirmed yet.
If u are talking about manufacturing area then its Korea for now. but u can check at the package while buying the mobile.

Most of the GS4s are made in Vietnam. The others are made in Korea. Some parts may come from China but I've never heard any GS3 or GS4 made in China. Iphone, however, are.

Not really. Unless you're OCD. Koreans phones are usually binned better and less likely to go out the door with obvious defects.

ON the outer cover that covers the box. On the sticker with the barcode, IMEI etc. Right at the bottom. In relatively big letters. Made in China.
My I9500 did not come with the outer cover, but Tmobile version did.
On I9500 the stickers were on the main box itself and it said imported from Vietnam.
On Tmobile, the white sticker was on the outside cover and inside box had 2 plastic seals on either side.
i9505 from Vietnam here.
So how are the Vietnam models in relation to build and display quality? Everybody's screen look good or have slight flaws that you can live with? My T-Mobile version from china has a two tone screen. In portrait mode the left half is darker. Wasn't a big deal until I notice black crash in darker videos and bottom half of screen was less detailed. Other than that, everything else about the phone is great. Reception is just a hair less than my gnote2 it seems. My gnote2 seems to get great reception like my Nokia and moto phones did. It sucks though that there might be a flaw in the amoled displays cracking underneath the gorilla glass.

My S4 is flawless.
When it comes to screen it's perfect. Brightness is same everywhere, no tints or any problem with pixels.
Only thing that bothers me little bit is smearing/ghosting but everyone has that and it should be fixed now with new update.
