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
Rob

Vodafone Germany to Release the HTC Trinity as VPA Compact GPS

"Vodafone Germany's online shop preview unveiled that the German carrier will launch the HTC Trinity (also known as HTC P3600) as VPA compact GPS soon. As you can see on the name affix 'GPS,' the Trinity definitely supports GPS which makes it the first 3G enabled Windows Mobile navigation device. Other features of the HTC Trinity are Windows Mobile 5.0, quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE and 3G UMTS/HSDPA as well as W-LAN and Bluetooth and a 2.0 megapixel camera."

Yeah, I saw it on their website yesterday. Looks great. I am living in Germany and looking forward to it, but I am a little uncertain because of the "peel-off"-problem.
Mark.

Just use a silicon case

Does the german (Vodafone) VPA Compact GPS has a simlock?

I heard that only austrian decives have a netlock not the german ones. Is that right? Nobody with a german VPA Compact?

Hey there,
I ude the vodafone VPA Compact GPS....
and I can tell u that u can use every card because it is simlock free.

they sell these devices in austria? i live in austria and i have never seen a trinity for sale over here :/ bought mine in the duty free at the airport

Didn't realize there was a difference between the Australian and Asian version of HD.

I was looking into buying a new HD. Obviously I like the idea of 3G but it's simply not going to happen.
When I was reading, apparently the Austrailian version has the necc. frequencies.
So, I started looking at the Aussie version and found out that not only does it have 192 of ram compared to 512 of the Euro version, it also has only 4'ish hours of talktime compared to 6 hours of the Euro.
Guess I'm going to deal with having Edge.

Go to pdadb.net for hd spec http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=1469
192mb -- user accessible ram
288mb-- total ram
512-- rom (storage memory 2xx avaiable to user)
talktime-- depends on what network you use gsm(standart) or 3g (hispeed)

There is no "Australian version". As far as HTC is concerned, they did not even have any intention to sell it in Australia, according to someone I contacted. Later, for some reason, Telstra is selling it although Telstra is the only guy in town having 850 3G network which HD does not even support. How strange is that? May be Telstra has signed an exclusive deal to prevent the other carrier from selling it???
All the so-called Australian sellers are brining in stock from Hong Kong and China.

Bahahaha! You better tell that to my blackstone here infront of me running on Telstras 850Mhz NextG network.
It must be a bad blackstone supporting frequencies it's not meant to! Bad Blackstone!
Although...it does say on the box 850/2100HSDPA with 512MB Rom and 288MB Ram. It's also the T8285 unlike the original Blackstone the T8282.
Maybe I just picked up a freak of the litter? Or maybe they do have an Australian version

Well, if what you say is true, then it means that our friends in US would have 3G since many of them are on 850 HSDPA. It would be one of the best kept secrets on Blackstone.

Not really. There are atleast two threads on this very forum regarding the Telstra version of the Blackstone.

No worries. I was annoyed when the Blackstone was first announced with Euro 3G bands, and not 850Mhz because I wanted on on NextG! Now that's happened, I'm stoked!.

This sounds like good news for the US customers.
BTW what download speed are you getting from the NEXT G network?

According to
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_Versions
the model number is different and the radio and rom are different too

Whoever put the info for the radio has stuffed up. They've put the Rom version info in as the Radio version.
I can assure you that the Telstra Touch HD comes with radio 1. 10. 25. 25 / 52. 57. 25. 30U exactly the same as the latest one in the Euro versions of the Touch HD.

Okay. That was odd.
I just reinstalled the Telstra Rom Upgrade, and after rebooting the red numbers said the radio was 1.10.25.25/52.57.25.30H (H instead of a U). Now after the customisations installed and the phone rebooted it's showing the normal 1.10.25.25/52.57.25.30U (U instead of a H).

Gingerbread 2.3.3 NL on Nexus S US version

Hi all,
Today the Nexus S has been released in The Netherlands. However I've ordered a US version (because of a S AMOLED screen) through the dutch online shop and that type runs on a GB 2.3.2 english version.
My questions are;
Can I install a dutch GB 2.3.3 (which runs on a dutch models from today on) on that model?
If yes, how to do it?
Sorry if you will find my questions pretty basic but my knowlige of Android is basic too
thanks in advance for any help
Andy

you dont need to patch/flash/rom the US nexus.
with android 2.3.3 it comes with Dutch.

I don't have an answer to your question, however I was wondering if you have checked to see if the 3G frequency of your carrier is supported by the US version of the NxS. I think T-Mobile uses 1700MHz/2100MHz (different than all the other US carriers). Not sure what is used in the Netherlands or if other US versions of the NxS are available yet.
Good luck and enjoy your new phone - the NxS is quite excellent.

I have ordered this one from the dutch webshop (pretty big one) so I assume everything should work fine here

Availability of the A501 in Germany / Europe / the world?

Hi there,
I am interested in the A501 as I need a 3G connection. I wrote to the Acer Support in Germany and they just said that the release was put back but they make a secret out of a possible release date.
So, I am really angry and thinking about buying another device. However, before I do that, I wanted to know if you guys have some more information about when it will be available in Germany or Europe or even somewhere else in the world.
Thank you!

I live in New Zealand and I just bought one yesterday. So it's available here.
Samsung Galaxy S I9000T
(Telecom NZ)

you can buy an Acer A501 in France it's available since almosts 4 weeks... I assume there are no compatibility problem between French and German release

It's already available at amazon germany.
