HTC has always been good at making the same device in different flavors to suit the needs of different groups of people. The latest proof of that comes in the form of the HTC Victor, a device seemingly identical to the Touch Diamond except for the backing. Instead of the “diamond cut” (shown above) rear, it’s flat with a rubbery feel (shown below). Some people were complaining that the uneven backing made the Touch Diamond awkward to place on a table top.
The Victor is actually the strikingly similar to the Touch Diamond variant on T-Mobile in the UK and Germany, the MDA Compact IV, which also has a flat back.
Which do you prefer? The faceted backing, or the flat and smooth one?

I’m starting to like this version better than the P3700. Brandon, which will we be getting in the group buy?

It’s for the original Diamond, though I just put an email into SMG to see when and if they’re getting the Victor.
