No 3G on Orange Universal?

Hi, I'm looking for a 2nd hand Universal and so I found a guy selling it for what I find a very good price... but the catch is that he says it won't be able to connect to 3G networks:
these are refurbished and we made sure that phone will work with all networks (except 3G).
What I wanted to ask is: how could this be possible? how would it be able to connect to standard 2G networks and not 3G? would it be a software issue? Would I be able to fix that?

hmm, i dont think its possible that the 3g is broken but the 2g isnt, as afaik they are the same chip. however it is common knowledge that universals wont work with the phone operator '3' (unless you have a very old sim card) o perhaps this is where the confusion is, best bet is to ask the seller.
Hope this was of some help

Thanks.... That's what I thought... Since he is a UK seller he is probabily talking about UK Operators... here in Portugal we don't have problems with using unlocked phones bought from other operators.. even though Vodafone do use newer CompV2 SIM cards (though I still have a old CompV1)

I must have been misinformed, i was under the impression that 3 used different sim-cards and so couldnt be compatable with non-3 phones.

Name of CDMA Hermes?

Forgive me if this is blatently ovbious or under my nose, but what is the name of the CDMA flavor of the HTC Hermes?
I currently own a Verizon Wireless XV6600 which is known as the "HTC Harrier" because it is the CDMA version of the "HTC BlueAngel" which is the GSM version. Great phone! Love it to death!
I've been waiting patiently for Verizon to come out with the XV6800 because from what I can see about it, it is simply awesome over the 6600/6700. Additionally, my New-Every-Two promotion kicks in during this June. I'd love to take home a XV6800 at that time. I want to know what this phone is really called so if I have the urge to buy it branded as an HTC or other carrier, I will know it will work with the Verizon network.
Thanks in advance!

its called the titan ... not to be confused with tytn...

Thanks for that clarification.
If that's the case, then what is the difference between the HTC Hermes and the HTC TyTN?

None, Hermes is the internal name, TyTN is the sales name

Does anybody know when the HTC Titan is going to be released under any carrier?

It is NOT the same it is called the HTC p4000 or Titan, has a different chip (400mhz Qualcomm) a bigger memory, and the keyboard opens to the right, it is already out with Telus. See the link below which states it comes with WM6 but it does not, it has WM5 installed.

T-Mobile Wing .. Vs .. T-Mobile MDA Vario III

Ok, what does anyone think about the MDA Vario III its got a 400MHZ processor and from what I"ve heard we maybe getting this device for our newly configured 3G network .... Its a very nice device, but just wanted to know what other people think about this device .....any thoughts..prices,specs,availability,etc???
Thanks to all.

the Vario III is the HTC kaiser in a tmo name. Is the wing even available in Europe?
anyway, hardware-wise, the kaiser wins, but the "driver issue" i guess would be the deciding factor. either way, i'd go with the kaiser.

definitely agree ,but yes we will be trying to use this handset hopefully after summer due to the new 3G network trying to be a 1700 band freq...(not sure thing though) but the tilt even if unlocked isnt suppose to be able to even work on the 3G t-mobile network thats why they are suppose to bring this to us...but yes i think this is used in Europe ... but please explain what u mean aboout the driver issue??havent hear this one....thanks for the input so far.

Use other SIM with a t-mobile brand

Hello,
I'm looking for an HTC HD2 without a contract. I've found two different types. One of them are without a branding others have one. My question is, if it is possible to use a simyo (this is eplus, a german provider) SIM on an HTC HD2 with a t-mobile branding?
thx

It's very unlikely. Normally, you can only use SIMs supplied by the company that branded the device, but I'm not 100% sure in this case, only 99% sure

hi johncmolyneux,
thank you. I think this is the reason, why the unbranded phones about 80 Euros more expensiv.

Yeah, they generally are. I buy unbranded models myself, so I can chop and change providers as and when I want to, rather than being stuck in a long-term contract.

Really?
Because in my experience if you purchase branded devices "outright", you can use any SIM you want in them.
That's the way it works in Canada with Telus, and in Australia with Telstra...
