Hi all,
I am a newbie here, so i apologise for the questions:
Where do you advise me to buy the HTC Touch HD in USA?
I could also buy it in Europe, but will it work in USA (T-Mobile)?
Thanks in advance.
Phone will work but there will be no 3G only edge speed

I am a TILT Owner but would like to upgrade to the Touch HD..but I have a few questions first. Could anyone answer the below for me...I would really appreciate your assistance.
Question #-1: How can I get my hands on one of these? I called HTC and they stated that this is not offered in the US.
Question #-2: Now should I be able to get my hands on this device..would the radio work on T-Mobile's Network?
Question #-3: What would be the potential cost? I can unlock it myself.
And do you know if I could swap the Radio on that phone for another HTC Touch Device that is domestic should the Radio only give me a 2G signal as oppose to 3G?
I got mine from www.expansys-usa.com and i am using it on tmobiles network. 3g will not work no matter what radio you put on there because i think that is a hardware issue. the phone comes unlocked
I am also using it on T-Mobile USA network. No issues with Edge speeds. I got mine from Clove UK at the very beginning. I actually pre-ordered mine.
I am running cooked ROMs on my device and am not looking back. But I really doubt you can lay your hands on one of these babies... unless you buy one or you know someone who already bought one.
Acutally you know what.. I lied... You can actully chek out the device in Mobile City store in NYC (if you live around the area).

Good Luck.
Cool thanks alot chief!
I was a TytnII (Tilt) user and moved to the HD via a short stop with a HTC Touch Pro.
I love the HD and don't miss the keyboard. The screen is fantastic compared to the Tilt.
The HD also has plenty of memory internally and does not have the same challenges as the Tilt.
Hi everyone,
Sorry if this question has been already treated, I didn't find any answer.
I will move to US soon and I'd like to use my Touch HD there. Can you tell me if my French HD will work in US with an american contract?
Thanks for your answer.
It will work but on Edge only. No 3G. I am assuming you have the European T8282 version not the Telstra Australian T8285 version which is only sold in Australia. The European version does not have the right 3G frequencies and can't be converted with any software to be used on any US 3G networks. The phone will work on Edge data and will be able to make and receive voice calls.
Many thanks for this clarification. So I have to sell it here and buy the correct model in US.
I've been thinking of getting a touchscreen smartphone for a while now, and the Touch HD is the one that I like the best so far, but it doesn't have any formal USA Support, so I have a few question I'd like to ask about owning this phone while living in America.
1. I heard 3G works in the U.S. with the T8285. I live in Los Angeles, but I'm not sure if the T8285 3G Network will work in my area. So if someone knows that would be nice.
2. AT&T would be my primary Network. I think this would be the best network to choose for this phone right??
3. Is there anything (else) that I can't get/do with the Touch HD in America, that I would in Europe??
4. What are some Pros/Cons of having a Touch HD in America.
5. What are the price range of the Touch HD?? I'd like to pay a maximum of $400.
search this forum using "Touch HD 850 3G in the USA" and you'll find 2-3 threads that will answer your questions... that is, questions 1-4. on #5, a new HD will probably set you back about $800, used you're still looking at $570-$700.
hey just joined the forum and am very excited to get my hands on this phone. I will be purchasing from asia (hong kong) but am currently residing in Canada which leads to my question:
Will an hd2 purchased from asia be compatable with the 3g and edge network connections available in Canada?
Sorry if the quesion is a repeat.
Thanks
I have the same question, I already buy a HTC touch diamond from asia and the 3G never work in canada. I want to buy a new HTC HD2 but a don't want to have the same problem...
Any information ?
hey guys, just a quick question, for the HD2, is there a model that would work with 3g and one that wont, becuase i know that was the case with the regular HD with models 8285 and 8585 i think, or something like that, so before i buy one, i just want to know that the phone will work with 3g becuase i want to buy an HD2 this weekend
until you are not in US, every HD2 will work on 3g... in US, none of HD2`s will work on 3g...
well i am in the US, so there is no way to get 3g
