Why should it work not?
If you have gsm network with 900/1800 or 900/1900 you will get the device working in israel.

Yes, absolutly, you can get it from Orange (Partner), they have the iMate.

I bought mine on eBay from a guy in the Philippines, and it is an O2 XDA II, I asked him to write PDA on the shipping manifest, so I wouldn't have to go through Minestry of communication.
Now I work with Orange, GPRS, Cooked ROM, I love it, great phone.

Wizard 3G

I have an XDA Mini s, i have noticed that one of the guys in the office has an orange SPV which is exactly the same, his has 3G however. Is this a hardware difference or software (eg ROM) upgrade, and if its either , how do i do it.

The guy is mostly likely to have a Orange SPV M3100 (a.k.a htc Hermes), which is a 3G phone. The whole hardware is different.

Hermes/TyTn is very similar, though not 'exactly the same'. Hermes is 3G. May be your colleague has a Hermes...

Thanks starkwong,
Just new to this so wasn't sure. Iv'e managed to unlock the phone today and install a new radio ROM and WM6, thought if i could upgrade to 3G that would be the icing on the cake.
Out of interest if i was to but a M3100, could i flash it to use my T-Mobile card etc

Can it be that your HERMES is NET locked? I can't see another reason why it did not work in Vietnam! We are talking here about a QUAD BAND GSM + UMTS/3G device ...
Unlike SIM LOCK a NET LOCKED device accepts any SIM card but lets you use only one particular network. In this case the HERMESUnlocker should do ... !

Touch HD in Canada

HI Guys,
Looking to buy a Touch HD to run on the Rogers network in Canada.
Keen to hear from others who are already using the phone in Canada to hear of their experiences of the device running on Rogers?
Also seen that the 850 3G band device is now available in Australia so was thinking this might give me 3G in Canada. Anybody imported one into N. America and had any luck with this?
Thanks,
P

I have one on Fido/Rogers near Toronto, works great besides no 3G. Such a solid device and edge is fast enough for web surfing and email on devices like this due to bottlenecks in hardware. Wifi, Bluetooth and GPS are also strong on the Touch HD too.
The Telestra model may work on 850, mine is 900/2100 though

Thanks for the info. Has anybody actually got the Telestra model working on 3g in north america?

I agree with Zero...everything except 3G works well here (Vancouver). I've even got Caller Name Display going, which is great.

I am also using one here in Toronto. As with all above, everything works well except 3g.

Toronto here too. Works great. I use WIFI mostly and it works great. Won't pay the ridiculous monthly fees that Rogers charges for data. I bought mine from pdaplaza.ca in Quebec.

i think all of us got it early before the Telsa one came out so none of us will be using 3G here.

I just flashed the Telsa rom.....still no 3G.......suck....

Yes I would get the Telstra HD as well. Even if it's slightly more money. The 3G is worth it.

Those of you having one working, could you tell me what rom you have...
i have trouble registering into network and when i do...signal is ther but cannot make calls or receive them.
thanks

I have the T8285 (Telstra version) in Montreal. Works great on 3G network (Rogers). I have a solid and fast HSDPA when browsing the Internet.
It was working with original ROM, but flashed a Dutty 6.1 ROM the first day. I flashed few Dutty's 6.1 updates, and now I run Dutty 6.5 R8 without any issue. Those last ROMs are "shipped" with Radio 1.14, but I reverted to Radio 1.10 because the sound level was to low for my taste with Radio 1.14 (but was still working).
I have also tested a few 6.5 Miri ROM (working well).
So, I did not experienced any issue with any ROM...

Touch HD with Fido
Hello, I am using touch hd from sweden and now I am using with fido in Kitchener Ontario, but I can not get good signals and hardly can call any one and can't recieve calls, however if I am outside then I can get better signals and can call or recieve. I have a feeling it is because of 900 frequency. Is any one have idea what I can do? Thanks

touch HD T8282 working very well in Toronto except 3G. I have stock 1.56 rom WWE radio 1.13.25.24 very clear and strong signal even indoors

You need T8285 hardware. no matter you do (flashing radio and rom). It won't change the UMTS signal to 850. It is hardware related.

Update for HTC HD2 (O2) UMTS900 Band

Anyone had any problems or improvements with this.
I work in the middle of London and suffer from poor reception due to this buildings construction.
Once people start leaving my reception improves so i cant tell yet but i currently have move bars internally than i have had ever.

I had issue with no 3G signal since upgrading to ROM 1.72.206.3.
Now installed the "Update for HTC HD2 (O2) UMTS900 Band" but still having issues. Seems to get 3G signal when I reboot but then looses it and doesn't come back.
Anyone else having same issue?

Does that mean that all of our HD2's are hardware-wise capable of UMTS at 900Mhz?
If so can this O2 only update be reverse-engineered to apply to Vodafone handsets too or those handsets running custom ROM's?

I take it that this update won't work with the standard HTC ROM?
Just typical though. When I bought my HD2 (O2) I flashed it to the generic HTC ROM to get away from all the O2 crap on the phone. Since then all the updates are coming for O2 and Vodafone and none for the standard HTC generic ROM. Have HTC given up on producing generic updates? I would have thought we'd have seen more updates for the generic ROM but it looks like I was wrong
Cheers,
Richard.

the regular leo already supports 900, i believe this is just a software update. (coincidentally, my phone refused to lock on to o2 for calls and data last night for about an hour, and ever since I've shown more bars in places where i get 1 bar, I'm now getting 2/3),, maybe they're going live with a network upgrade?)

probably only applies to phones on o2 network, but it installed fine in mine with a 2.13 based cooked rom. can't see any difference except that it already got better last nightbefore i applied this just now.
