Hi there all, this is my first post and after a quick search (and please be aware that I suck at the search) I couldnt find any thoughts regarding if one version is better than the other... I am in china at the moment and my l7 is going tits up so I will be replacing it in about 12 hours and I want to get the TYTN II and have been offered the tmobile vario III as well... is there any major difference here or is one version as good as the other? thanks in advance for any help...
It's the same phone.. one just branded by t-mobile.
ok thats cool thanks for the heads up...
Only differnce is the casing is slightly different, the tmobile one looks slightly better
No it doesn't

Well at least the Vario III isn't half pink like my Vario I was! (which is also the reason I got a HTC version this time around )
Thanks for all the replies... Glad to know its just cosmetic and the functionality is still the same... I also prefer the HTC looks to the Tmobile... many thanks to all and off I got to get a new phone... woo hooooo....

Haha I can understand that I've been a very long time customer with T-Mobile and the store I got it both, so I got a really sweet deal, and in such a way it is complete tax-deductable so in the end I really didn't pay anything at all.
For once, I have been able to do something like that If the difference was $400 I am sure I would've gotten a branded one as well! Though do note that at the time I got it, the T-Mobile branded version wasn't out yet, so I didn't yet know if was half pink or not - which it is now clear it isn't.

Exactly, difference is just the price and for the tilt the front cam.
I ended up choosing between €229 for vario 3 of €549 for a unbranded HTC.
And the sneaky part was, the HTC had to be ordered, and the vario 3 was on stock in the store easy choice.. it isn't to bad after sugarcubing the T-Mobile logo.
Ok I have now just picked up my tmobile tytn/vario III/kaiser (depending on who you talk to)... they didnt have any HTC style phones at all where I am at and I went to a few mobile markets to look... so far really really really happy with my new toy... dammit I mean important piece of learning equipment (which is what I tell the wife )... I have just started playing with it and will now change the language to english before attempting any thing else... cheers all for the help...

You'll get used to things here pretty quickly. When I first registered, I was kinda overwhelmed as well but the people here at XDA are awesome and majority of the time they kindly help.
I got to the point where when I wake up, I check the Kaiser forum and the Kaiser Upgrading forum. A couple hours later I check again. Before I knew it, I was addicted to this site!
LOL... yeah I can see how that happens... I have been on here for about 7 hours so far just reading and trying to figure it all out... just did the hardspl thing and now to figure out how to get it to display english as well as Chinese which I gather cant be done unless you use some third party programs like CE Star or Monster Chinese etc... well getting english would be good for now...
just in case this hasnt been mentioned - i got rid of the tmobile branding on my uk mda vario III with a coin. very very simple, 2 mins work, just rubs off and hasnt left a single mark at all.
makes the phone look a million times nicer
dont be worried to do it uk users!
I am pretty ok with the tmobile branding... especially now that I have used it for a bit and seen what it can do... can you marry a phone...?
I'm going to sell this phone to someone tomorow.
How do I restore all settings to default/factory? As in my emails will no longer be remembered, my settings return default, and all information gone?
Thanks
Hard Reset
Go to settings--Menu---clear all storage--- type in "1234" and you're good to go. I would recommend flashing it to the original rom too, though.
Go to Settings->System->Clear Storage.
What phone are you getting next?...
awesome. thank you very much.
is there anything else i should take care of or can i readily sell my phone
I'm want the iPhone 3gs. I dont want to start a iPhone vs xperia war again, so im just going to say, its because ive already been accustomed to the iPhone OS with my ipod touch, i feel its most comfortable for me.
I definitely love the xperia too, but this is just a preference thing

Ha same here, part of the reason why im going with the Phenom instead of an i7 and 8gb instead of 12gb ram. I also have a fairly new pc that im using now that i can probably get an extra 500$ from if i sell it on ebay, so its looking pretty good right now.
if it won't run Linux, don't bother
I got to thinking and im gonna have this pc for 2+ years
So i added a 64gb SSD for my boot drive and upgraded the processor to 3.4 ghz.

Sounds cool, but if you do have it for 2 years, the prices of SSD's should drop considerably Also... I don't know if you've seen anybody overclocking their 1055T, most people can get it to 4Ghz with out too much heat
@OP: Always build it yourself. Cheaper. Much cheaper.

Yeah true but im an impatient person and I planned on overclocking it to 4ghz maybe a little lower so i added a watercooler on it so heat shouldnt be to much of a problem

haha thanks it costs alot more but i got to thinking i can take off the cooling system which is about 100$ and put that into the case so it makes up the difference.
also Is that your computer? im not an apple fan (except maybe the ipad its kinda cool) but i do like that case!
Haha the case has been stripped out now and is ready for new parts should be awesome

PS Cool story bro.
You have wrong priorities op! I lived with a tn-powered xperia arc s for 2 years. N5 is like heaven for me. Why did you buy a N5 if you have a one? If you are pleased with your one keep it and don´t buy anything new.
Colours are inverted on my xperia arc s where the n5 only gets a bit darker.

what's the point in this thread? you're unhappy with your device, and want everybody else to be unhappy as well, by pointing out a flaw you see?
Have fun with a phone that is completely inferior besides the speakers lol
OP, thanks for adding the pics. Your N5 looks like sh.t. Even the youtube video you posted in the other thread shows at that angle the phone should be fine.
Either you photoshopped the picture or you got yourself a defective device.

ommg your saying i photoshopped the pic, why in bloody hell would i do that. get a grip on it bro, the display sucks. im down right honest, i waited months for the phone, and thats what i get. btw my bro and couple buddies in the office at work have the nexus 5 also and they have the same issue. its not defective thats just the way they all are.

How can you live with that SUPERBIG GAP you have there on HTC One? Right below the bottom speaker.
I recommend you to get your old HTC One X back. Oh wait, it had crappy speakers. What about your old good iPhone 4 - fits right in the pocket, great display, great speakers. I believe there is nothing you couldn't live with..

My nexus 5 will very probably be returned. Hate the loudspeaker, and I think I have been spoilt by the Note 2 battery. But that screen doesn't look right. Under no circumstances can I get it to look anywhere near that bad, and I have tried. The screen is one of the few things I will miss about the phone.

Thanks for letting us know.

I love the idea and can't wait to get one for my Note 2. I had originally wanted it as a quick flashlight toggle, but seeing that 4.3 already allows you to assign the volume up button for the flashlight, I may assign the Pressy as a quick camera button. The software can be programmed, so the options are limitless

Who else is getting one?
Wow! What a cool idea.
I might have to pre order one of these! The price isn't bad either. Seems to be $27.

The "early bird" special was $15... I got mine for $20 and it comes with the keychain, but you are right - pre-orders are $27. Still a little pricey, but for what it does, it's a good value and you can use it on other android devices when it comes time to upgrade.
I backed them and am really anxious to test it out!
What an awesome idea. In addition to solving the ridiculous problem created by manufacturers putting the power button anywhere but on the top of the phone, it opens up the usefulness with multi-press features. I wish I had known it was going on during the kickstarter campaign.
I backed the kickstarter too! Can't wait for mine. Will probably only use it for flashlight stuff, since I'm utterly uncreative with these types of things, but hey, it's cool!
yea i think its really nice
i was about to buy it until i use volume for cam
and put flash light in my toggles
:good:
Yeap, I backed them up once I saw the article on Engadget. Would love to use it as an instant flashlight with a double click camera.

Through the headphone jack, similar to the media control buttons you see on headsets. Obviously, the pressy is much smaller than that and can be programmed.
