I know it's stated everywhere that HTC isn't making a HD with US 3G but as I've posted yesterday I've found a dealer who claimed that he had physical stock of HD's for sale with US 3G. Got another message today stating that he talked to the company and they've indeed confirm that it has US 3G. This is sounding unreal huh? And the guy is offering double refund if the phone isn't US 3G. I've asked hime to just send me a pic of the spec sheet from the manual with the listed HSDPA frequencies. So if the phone indeed has Quad GSM and 3G freq. of 850 and 1900, it would work on the rogers network in canada right? it sounds too good to be true but just wanted to chase down all possiblities.
Keeping my fingers crossed~~
I think we've all accepted that US3G is not available.
Please make sure this guy is not going to scam you. I recommend making sure he set's up an eBay auction and use PayPal plus your credit card if you purchase from him.
BUT when I purchase bleeding edge euro spec phones they always seem to release a US 3G variant shortly afterward making me spend even more. This brings bad memories of Nokia not announcing or denying US 3G on their handsets, then just a few months later they release it with the US 3G bands.
to be honest, it seems like a scam so beware
why not post the persons ebay store and all that so all of us can check it out
then again all touch hd specs state there is no usa 3g support
just be careful
Me and seemingly hundreds of other users are waiting to see if it is possible to unlock the March 24th-released T-Mobile US HD2 and also to see if it is possible to connect to 3/3.5G networks outside the US/Canada before we purchase. Please post any experiences you have of:-
1. Unlocking the T-Mobile US version of the HD2 to use on other carriers (say how you did it and which carrier you changed to).
2. Using the T-Mobile US HD2 on a 3/3.5G network outside of North America (say which country and carrier and download speeds).
3. Flashing the T-Mobile US HD2 to different ROMs/radios.
I have contacted a carrier in Taiwan (FarEasTone) and they said that it "should" work there on the 2100Mhz band if it is unlocked but I want solid proof before I lay down the cash.
I found this old link www gsm-forum.eu/smart-phones-pdas-palm-organizers/16571-htc-unlock-free.html that has software that might've unlocked older models of HTC phones. Might be worth a try or please share if you know of any other free software that does the same thing for the T-Mobile US HD2.
Please don't bother posting if you are just asking whether it works or not.
Thanks for sharing!
Unlocking the tmobile hd2 (1024Leo)
they are calling it the 1024Leo after the fact that it has 1 gig rom. You MUST use the spl 2 to unlock it and roms specifically made for tmo hd2.
Not sure if the euro band is there but you can check phone>> settings for bands supported. Tmos rom is not bad but not for me. Cant wait to redo it.
Here is a good link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5983094#post5983094
For my knowledge, I already tried T-Mobile Touch 3G at Taiwan by Taiwan Mobile network and it is working right now. Touch 3G has same band support with TMobile US HD2. I will receive HD2 in couple days, I will try it and post the result. TMobile use 1700Mhz and 2100Mhz together for 3G but all Taiwan 3G network use 2100Mhz or 900Mhz only.
Did anyone experience??
Did anyone experience the unlocked t-mobile HD2 to work with 3g outside the US????
I hope anyone could share the experience!!

I have used my unlocked t-mobile hd2 in Latvia, Netherlands, and United Kingdom so far, and had 3G in all three countries.
I am currently using mine in the Philippines and is doing great I am getting fast speeds on Globe Telecom Network. Speed is quite good switching from 3g to H most of the time.

I was in Europe last month and got a 3G connection in France (mostly Bytel) and the UK (mostly T-Mobile). Speeds varied from about 400Kb to 1100Kb. I was using a locked phone with a T-Mobile USA SIM. I talked to a UK T-Mobile dealer and he said they were using the 2100Mhz band for 3G. Prepaid SIM cards were available everywhere. I didn't use cellular data that frequently (mostly sent pictures with WiFi) so I never bothered to get the phone unlocked.
Brazil
I Live in Brazil and my operator is " 3G BRA BrTCelular Oi "
I buy my T-Mo HD2 on april unlocked on US
Until the update to 2.13 my phone freeze many times when I connected on 3G network and next received a call
After update to 2.13 no more freeze problems
Finally!!!
Wooooooooooooohhhhhhoooooooooooo!!!
Just got the phone, and the 3g network is working perfectly like a charm!!!
Thank God!!
Awesome phone!!! I love hTC!!
So that makes Africa included with the others and especially Egypt for the TMOUS working for 3g network outside the US!!
Go ahead HD2 lovers BUY........ and ENJOY!!!
1. Unlocking the T-Mobile US version of the HD2 to use on other carriers (say how you did it)
does anyone know how to do this and have the appropriate numbers etc ???????
...you either buy an unlocking service somewhere online, or call T-Mobile customer care and request an unlock code if you are a current T-Mobile customer.
t-mobile US HD2 uses HDSPA 17/2100 bands for 3G so anywhere those bands are present, you should get 3G (unless the local carrier is blocking it for non in network phones)

Data works in England
My husband and I are in London with our unlocked TMOUS HD2 and LG Optimus T phones, and I can get 3G on Vodafone prepaid. All I had to do was dial 191 on my handset to get Vodafone customer service, and told them that I am visiting from the U.S. using an unlocked HTC HD2, and would like the APN settings for the data connection. The rep sent me a couple of text messages, one that said the set up text was also coming and what PIN to use to run the set up executable, and the other message contain the set up executable. It worked straight away, and the 3G service is pretty quick. I have looked at a YouTube video with no stutter, and launch web pages without delay. I am very pleased.
I unlocked my HTC HD2 to use it with AT&T at SuperUnlockCodes for a very cheap price and quickly.

at this link, htc evo is unlocked and without contract
it has a simcard slot? ı am live in turkey and is it work with sim card in turkey
Note: ı cant search this topic,because my english is bad. I didnt understant anything in english web sites. Turkish websites have not data about evo 4g. thanks
Dude, the Evo does NOT have a SIM card slot.
Dili Türkçe
Dostum, HTC Evo DEĞİL SIM kart yuvası var.
Plus the ad is misleading. The Evo is a CDMA phone that works on Sprint, so no GSM or SIM card.
ok thankss but ebay seller said unlocked and without contrackt, why ebuy seller said it? what is unlocked evo's different feature (than) normal evo 4g?
up up up up up
It is unlocked, which means it will work for any CDMA carrier, the hard part is getting them to add it to your account, but you might not have any problems in turkey.

You still don't understand. eBay seller is wrong in his details of the phone. This is the eBay sellr's fault, not the Evo. Evo is a CDMA only phone, end of story.
Hala anlamıyorum. eBay satıcısı yanlış telefonun onun ayrıntıda gizlidir. Bu eBay satıcısı hatası değil, Evo olduğunu. Evo bir CDMA sadece telefon, son hikaye biridir.

The seller is uninformed or intentionally misleading. Technically the Evo can be "unlocked" by having the MSL, which many users have obtained. That said, the Evo is CDMA based and does not have a GSM radio! This makes the number of carriers that you could try to take this phone to very limited.
Even users that have successfully taken other HTC CDMA phones to different CDMA networks (like boost mobile) have struggled to get core functions working like data and messaging. Moving Sprint CDMA phones to other networks has been described as a task suited only for those who are comfortable/experienced in hacking mobile phones and fluent with the program CDMA tools. Even people that meet that description are not going to have a fully functional experience...
I have HTC Evo 4G and i has RUIM (Sim) it come from USA and Repaired By someone in USA and (found sticker on mainboard nokia care)
I works in India in Reliance (CDMA) but after i updated through wifi it will stop working (updated radio+NV+PRI).
So. i Remove siM Try (someone solder on mainboard). and registered MEID with reliance to make working on reliance without RUIM

I've tried digging around on my own to figure this out, but I haven't found a solid answer, and I really hope someone will help!
Would I be able to take an unlocked T-Mobile MyTouch 3G to Egypt with me and open up a service plan with Vodafone Egypt for local phone and 3G internet?
I hope the answer is simply yes, but here are a few more specific concerns:
1) Is there a difference between being unlocked from HTC and being unlocked from T-Mobile? Are those two separate things? (The one I am looking at says in the description that the unlock code was received and used from HTC, and I just want to make sure that it is really completely unlocked.)
2) Can I stroll into a Vodafone Egypt store with my unlocked T-Mobile MyTouch 3G and buy a plan for local Egyptian phone and 3G internet? In other words, does Vodafone Egypt require one of their official phones, with the Vodafone logo on the top, for them to treat me like a normal customer? (I am going to be in Egypt working as a teacher for the school year, and I would like to take out a contract just like a normal resident for the year if I can.)
3) Will an unlocked T-Mobile MyTouch 3G function properly on the Vodafone Egypt network? Are there any technical or software differences between the United States MyTouch 3G and the Vodafone Magic that might pose a problem for phone or 3G use?
4) Now I'm getting greedy, but here's one more question: Will any phone that is technically specified to work in Vodafone Egypt's network (proper band frequency, 3G capable) be eligible for a normal local Egyptian phone and 3G plan from Vodafone Egypt as described above? Or will it only work for phones that are specifically listed as part of Vodafone Egypt's current line-up?
Thank you in advance for your help!

1) No difference, it's either SIM locked or it isn't.
2) Yeah you should be able to get a SIM only plan which is meant for any phone. Only thing is they probably wont have the exact apn settings for the Magic (I don't think Voda sell the Magic in egypt), only generic ones but they will still work.
3) Just find out the bands the MT3G and Vodafone Egypt uses...

Awesome, thanks for the help. Egypt is 3G 2100 so I think I'm good!
Hi guys,
I have seen so many HTC phones EVO 4G for sale on ebay, I wanted to know if you can use them with Italian cards, because I do not understand ...
http://cgi.ebay.it/MINT-SPRINT-HTC-...ell_Phones&hash=item2313212bc5#ht_2365wt_1139
Thank you.
The EVO 4G doesn't take any "cards". It runs on North American (and a few select others, like KDDI/Japan) CDMA networks. CDMA networks don't use SIM cards.
the EVO is not a world phone and only operates on CDMA technology, which is only here in the US (and Japan actually, but on a diff frequency I believe).
You will need to buy a GSM compatible phone if you want to use it in Italy.
That means anything from Sprint or Verizon is out as they are CDMA (unless it is marketed as a world phone meaning it has dual radios).
You'll need something from AT&T or another provider that uses SIM cards to go abroad.
.. :-( ..
thanks you very much for the support...
