Hello! I plan to buy an HTC 6800 from Bell mobility Canada, it is virtually the same as Sprint PPC-6800. My question is: Is the 6800 use the same battery as the Tytn? Because the 6800 is the brother of the tytn apparently except it's CDMA.
I've been able to take both batteries in my hands yesterday and, NO they are not the same.

Hello to All,
I have a T-Moble MDA (wiza200). I've unlocked it and all is good. I have cricket service provider right now for 55 US a month, unlimited everything. However as many already know 95% of there phones suck, and all of there phones are WAYYYYY over priced. I wanted to know
Is there a way I could use my t-mobile phone with cricket service?
My first though was no due to the fact that cicket dosen't use a sim, t-moble dose.
I was talking to one of the tech's at cricet who deal with transfurring phones from one companie to there's (IE: Verizon to CricKeT). He told me that if I re-flash the phone with there rom then yes I can. I just can't seem to bring myself to give them 250 dollers for them to do that. Please if anyone could help that would be one of the best days for me .
Thanks a million!
No, you can't.
Tmobile uses GSM phones, Cricket uses CDMA. No go. You can only use Alltell CDMA or Verizon phones.
i found a pretty good deal for an HTC Mogul online and it's branded as Sprint right now, would I be able to unlock this and use it on T-Mobile? I have a Wizard right now.
Sprint = CDMA... TMo = GSM... good luck!
that's why I asked!
The T-Mobile Wing is very similar to the Mogul, but it's a little slower. If you like the Mogul that's the closest HTC GSM phone. I've used the Wing and I like it a lot, but I like my Mogul better.

Yea I have a Wizard right now and the wing has the same processor so I'm not going to be upgrading to it, I just saw the 400mhz processor in the Mogul. Maybe I'll save my nickles and dimes and hope for a tytn

Please don't give ****ty advice -- this isn't helpful. The Wing/Atlas is quite inferior to the Mogul.
OP, the Mogul is a CDMA-based cousin of the GSM-based series of devices that have made HTC famous. The true sequel to the HTC Wizard is the HTC Hermes, and there is an absolute crapload of information available right here at xda-developers that can help you get the most out of your device if you go with a Hermes. I have two active contracts (one with T-Mobile and one with Sprint), and therefore I own both a Hermes and a Mogul/Titan. There are a couple of modest tweaks that were made to the Titan's design, but for the most part you'll see at least equivalent performance out of a Hermes.
If you've got cash to spend, I suggest hanging onto it and waiting a couple of months. The successor to Hermes, HTC Kaiser, is looming on the horizon and it offers a host of improvements over the Hermes (and the Mogul as well, for that matter -- though again, they're not direct competitors). If you live in the U.S., you'd be best-served by eBaying an AT&T/Cingular-branded Hermes (branded as the "8525") and running pof's free SIM unlocker to use it with your T-Mobile account. This is exactly what I did to use my Hermes with my T-Mobile account. I paid $400 even for a brand new Cingular-branded Hermes about six months ago, and I imagine that you could do even better today if you're savvy with eBay or through HoFo's buy/sell/trade forum. What kind of "pretty good deal" did you find on the Mogul, anyway? By all accounts, it should cost more than the Hermes.
You would be well-served by reading the wiki.
Actually, the Tytn or Kaiser would be the closest match for GSM (both can be used if unlocked with a T-mob sim card).
The Mogul (titan) works on different networks, with different protocols using different frequencies... there is no SIM card, and there is absolutely NO way in which the phone can even recognize a T-mobile tower!
Its like trying to activate one of those V-tech landline cordless phones with T-mobile... Both operate as phones, but there are just some things that are too different to ever be compatible!
if i was you zach , i would wait about 2 months for the cingular 8925 (htc tytn II) then unlock that phone and use it for t-mobile.

why do you even post in forums like this?
For your info, winMo devices always had hella good BT- its only the mogul that's had this new problem, and its due to a software glitch with the new chipset that it uses.
Nokias and SE's are no more reliable... I had many many BT problems with my Nokia 6230 that was only fixed months later with a software update. I also had some of the older SE phones, and they worked pretty well but had awful range.
I was very happily using WinMobile on GSM, and wouldn't recommend anything else over it!

THERE'S ALSO CDMA = EvDO (FAST) AND GSM = GPRS/EDGE (SUPER-SLOW)
I'm currently using an HTC Touch (Vogue, Unlocked, Custom Rom, yadda yadda yadda) and I recently came to acquire a used HTC P4000 (Telus's Titan version).
I still have some monkeying around to do with the P4000 (Upgrade to newest official rom among other things.) to see if I'm interested in using it as my primary phone instead of the Touch. Can someone explain if it's possible to have the P4000 running on the Bell network- and who I'd have to talk to in order to set that up.
I'm assuming that it would need to be unlocked first (not sure how to do the p4000, I did my Vogue without any issues though).
Alrighty then.
Did a little forum lurking and I now have a fully unlocked P4000 running DCD's 4.1.2 rom with the Bell Carrier. Boots instantaneously and works wonderfully. The man is a bloody genius.
Now, as to my original question - I have my MSL for both my current HTC Touch/Vogue (Bell) and my recently acquired P4000 (Telus).
Is there a way/method/guide I can follow to manually program the P4000 to work on the Bell network in place of my Touch?
Do I find an underhanded/former/corrupt Bell employee that will transfer my settings for $25?
Do I see my friend who has a friend who's cousin knows this stuff?
Do I take it to the Bell store and say "My phone no workie, I has replacement, make workie?"
I hate to trash on my Vogue but this P4000 is pretty effing slick. Gotta love the Wi-Fi and actual movie acceleration for non-horrible playback.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Your biggest problem will be to see Bell will accept the P4000 ESn number in there database. If they won't then flashing and unlocking isn't worth your time.
Hi all, so the Virgin Mobile HTC Legend is available for only $349 vs. $399 at Bell Mobility.
I am currently a Bell Mobility customer, and am using a Nokia E71 on Bell. I just switched to the E71 a month or two ago and had to buy a special SIM card for it at the time, for 20 bucks.
My question is, if I go out today and buy the Virgin Mobile HTC Legend, do I need to do anything special in order to use it on Bell? Do I just take the SIM out of the back of my E71 and put it in the HTC Legend, and off I go?
Or is there any special method I need to do, ie: buying an unlock code or something?
I am a novice user, so go easy on me!
Thanks in advance, any speedy response would be greatly appreciated because I'm heading to the mall soon
Cheers!

Hey!
I believe you will need to get it unlocked - either getting the Code online (Apx 10 Dollars depending on where) or do as I and get it done at a store (Apx $40) I have a Virgin Legend but I am on Rogers.
It's the same as Rogers/Fido - When you buy a Fido Handset it needs to be unlocked in order to use it with Rogers - Even though Fido is owned by Rogers.
Hope this Helps!
P.S. E71's are pretty amazing - But you're going to love the Legend Even More!
Virgin is owned by bell, they run of the same network. You may have to get it unlocked (could cost $10-20) but it will work without a problem.
I bought my legend at Virgin and went right to the Bell store, paid $20 for a SIM card and everything works fine. The owner of the Bell store didn't even know that you did not have to unlock a Virgin phone to get it to work on the Bell network.
before that you have to unlock your mobile.
Try without unlocking the phone, and if it doesn't get the Bell Mobility service, unlock the phone.
I bought a Telstra-branded HD2 from Australia for my girlfriend (since she has AT&T), but then I got her the HTC Inspire instead. I ordered this for her since the Telstra can get 3G service on AT&T (unlike the T-Mobile HD2), but since she has the Inspire now
I use T-Mobile, and already have a US market HD2, so I'm not sure what I should do with this Telstra HD2.
I was thinking of putting it on eBay, but what else could I do with it? I was thinking of maybe using it in my car somehow...?
Ideas?
---edit---
decided to put it on ebay...
