O2 XDA II vs T-Mobile MDA II

I need some opinions. I'm currently using a mobile phone on a t-mobile network. I want a XDA II, but, it will mean ditching my current t-mobile contract and starting with O2. Is this right?
Can I not get a T-Mobile MDA II instead and continue the T-mobile contract? Are they the same? Are they even available here in the UK
I have only ever seen the MDA II being sold in Germany. So does it only work there.
Help me out, please.

check forums for xda2 codes you should be able to make it network free
all networks but keep it to your self we are getting 250 uk pounds to open them to all networks

Smiffy, the phone can be unlocked for free thanks to the guys that run this site, just download xda2unlock, all you need is usb cable or cradle, it is a very simple process and at the end of it you will have the unlock code, all xda2/mda2 are triband so will work in UK.

Need Info about MDA PRO

wats up people, i have an MDA III and i have WM5 on it, but for a christmas gift my girl is getting me the universal (MDA PRO). From all i have read, i love the device, don't know if i can part with my MDAIII. But my question is that, i read that the PRO has GSM and WCDMA, i live in america, does this mean my new PRO will work with my sprint (CDMA technology) and my T-mobile (GSM) at the same time? or is it strictly GSM? I would be nice if i could just switch when i want to. Thanks for your info and if you have tips for me or advice to get it or not. Thanks again.

I didn't think the US had a 3G service?

@obiesoft, I suggest you post your query at the Pocket PC forum at www.howardforums.com as the issue of which network/frequency/etc the Universal works with in the USA has been covered in a lot detail (I think the best option for the US Cingular)

Silly question - Orange C500 work in New York?

I'm off to NYC for a week, and usually use my MDA Pro, but I fear it won't work in the USA...
I've used my C500 abroad before, but not tried the USA. Will it work over in the USA?

is TyTN compatible in Japan ?

I have a question for all japan Xda-dev's : does the TyTN work in Japan ( I will be in Tokyo next week) or do I have to leave it at home ?
is the FOMA of NTT (or VODAFONE umts) compatible with this phone ?
thanks to all

yes. i believe it works with docomo's network. the HTC TyTN is GSM/WCDMA and since japan's network is WCDMA, it should work there. I alse believe that Japan is selling the TyTN as the HTC Z in Docomo's network.
Take a read here:
http://www.akihabaranews.com/en/news-12144-Wireless+Japan:+hTc+Z+from+DoCoMo.html

I am really using Dopod CHT9000 (Taiwan version of Hermes) in Japan.
I have confirmed that it can work completely with Japan's W-CDMA 3G networks, both NTT DoCoMo and Vodafone Japan (FYI, its name will be changed as Softbank from Oct 1).

thank you all, and this is the official HTC reply to my question
Dear Lorenzo
Yes the HTC TyTN is fully compatable with the Japanese networks. We also supply phones to Japan and have many satisfied customers there.
Yours sincerely

I would be careful my XDA EXEC only works on Vodafone because docomo base stations are a mixture of R99 and R4 (Standard)
Unless they are upgraded the stations or the Radio firmware on the Tytn you may have problems if you use DoCoMo on a non japanese Tytn
XDA thread on this :-

Also it's going to be pricey to run since Vodafone or docomo doesn't have capped price plans (i.e all you can eat)
They do offer discount plans but they are still damm pricey ( I'm using a PDA and a PHS card because of this)

I am using Dopod9000 with a FOMA sim card, working perfectly for both voice and data. I used to go with Vodafone which is really expensive for data but Docomo is getting affordable, it can be close to 10,000 yen a month like what Willcom (phs) can offer.

Dug my Exec from the back of the cupboard last night and tried the FOMA simm from my work phone
Still doesn't work on DoCoMo which radio version has your phone got on it ?( Setting--> system ---> device info)
Thanks

hi all
i like to know if i can use au sim card in japan? whit my tynt ?
i have a contract whit au i don't live in japan nut i come every 3 month in tokyo
for business i just get on in hong kong and i was wondering if i can use on au network

will my qtek 9100 work overseas (philippines)?

Assuming that t-mobile gives me international coverage?
I'm not sure if the 9100 is a triband or quadband phone and whether or not the GSM frequencies would be compatible

AFAIK it is quadband, but is really unlikelly that t-mo gives a phill international service at a reasonable price...a better idea is to unlock ur wizard and contract a plan there...

possibly
got mine from the us under t-mobile...
brought it back here in the philippines...
i used the lokiwiz unlocking process found in this site...
and its working great with other networks....(globe, smart...)

Make sure you sim unlock your phone. Then u can either use globe. smat or sun mobile (prepaid or plan). Goodluck in PI!
