OK, I'm pretty sure I already know the answer, ie. "No", but I know so little about it I thought I'd ask.
is the XDAII compatable with the 3G networks beign rolled out? Here in NZ we're going 3G in the next couple of months, I assume GPRS etc. is all still supported, but I know if I buy a new device I'd like it to work with the highspeed network.
no xda2 is not a 3g phone
3g do you want a fry'd brain with that ?

3G in Australia/NZ is the "3" network from Hutchison which is basically UMTS so not compatible with the XDA which is GSM/GPRS
I noticed some people on eBay selling XDAs saying that they are 3G compatible but the smallprint read" on the 2G network" or something similar ie their fallback GSM network.

if we are LUCKEY!
then maybe with software upgrades the xda
could be able to use
Edge also called G2,8
because it's based on G2 (GSM)
in maybe it dont need a new transmitter
EDGE is a new transmitter
UMTS (3G) is a new system even! So, forget the software thing.
Hey, I just got my Hermes w/ cooked WM6 (yay), but i have T-mobile, which for all intents and purposes has no internet (boo). So, I was wondering what the best network to switch over to would be. I know Verizon's fastest service is EV-DO, which the hermes doesnt suppport, while AT&T/Cingular has HSDPA, which the Hermes does. However, I live in teh suburbs outside of New York City, so I'm wondering if I will ever see these anyway. Should I lean toward the HSDPA, or just go with whoever has the better 3G reception and prices?
I use tmobile US gprs/edge internet access all the time...(CA & NV area)
No 3G yet, but tmobile is working on it...
Thing is that i do alot of streaming music, so by my understanding edge would not really be sufficient. really hoping for the 3g+
So no one has any favorites or experiences?
If you want a Hermes, it's ATT then, and you also would have to make sure they support 3G in your area.
T-Mobile DOES have internet though (and internet sharing).
Is there any update out there to allow the Wing to access 3G? When I tether my wing to my laptop, sometimes I get 3g speeds and others I don't. Is there an update that will allow us consistant access?
Tmobile 3g.... No, completly different band, no hardware support.
ATT 3g..... Perhaps you would need to unlock it and try an ATT sim
you can't get 3g at all on the wing. 3g is based on a hardware radio, and the hardware radio that we have only supports edge and gprs. If you want 3g, you will have to get a different phone, one with an actual 3g radio. By 3g speeds on your laptop, that just means "unusually fast"
I was hoping there was a software or firmware update that would allow us access to the 3G band. I was sure if it was out there you guys would know.
hello guys,
need your help..........
as u could see in the title my problem is this I got a 3G smartphone (Htc polaris) which I want to use on a 3.5G network....
can this work??
I know my network provider which is 3.5G is going to sell the iPhone which is 3G so there must be a way for my phone to work as well (I hope)
believe that it will just run as 3g then
3.5G is also known as HSPA and is pretty widespreed
and
4g is also some places htc makes a phone for it

I've looked everywhere online and can't find any solution, please help.
I got my phone from France (unlocked, unbranded, not rooted), and now i'm using it with tmobile usa in las vegas where 3g, 4g is everywhere. Since day 1, i never saw a 3g sign on my phone, now i just gut the internet plan, and i tried everything, i'm still on EDGE.
I couldn't send mms, with the help of tmobile support, i set up an APN with epc.t-mobile.com, and it helped me send mms,but still can't get 3g.
I tried other APNs such as wap.voicestream.com, or hiptop something, still doesn't work.
I tried to set wcdma only, and can't get any signal at all. Anif i set up gsm only or wcdma or gsm, i get phone signal with EDGE.
These are the step i took to try to get 3g by looking online.
I inserted my friend's sim card in -he has 4g on his my touch- and it's still on EDGE. So it' not the sim card's problem...
Everything else works great, i just don't know what to do to get 3g, i'm not even asking for 4g. It's just too bad to have a badass phone and get stuck on EDGE.Anybody has an idea on how to fix this? Thank you so much for your help.

I'm afraid to say that there is no solution.
In order to get 3G working on TMo US, you need a phone that supports the both the AWS 1700/2100 bands.
The Euro Desire HD supports 2100Mhz, but not 1700Mhz and thus you will never be able to get TMo US 3G.
