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 ?
hopefully this support page means orange uk will stock the htc hd2

in search type hd2 this is where it will take you

would you please rename this board to T-Mobile US HD2?
Cause T-Mobile germany is also selling the HD2 (the old version)...
Sure. Closing this thread.
I had bought the legend from Vodafone. How can I see if the phone is branded? I don't have no Vodafone logo or something like that on it.

I suspect that it's branded by Vodafone. Branded means that the sim card only for the given operator works on given phone. Branded phones also have some apps preinstalled by the network operator.
I've understand that the HTC announcment yesterday is a big deal ( and the reason for this topic ). For me to be honest is another more polite way to say "coming soon".
branded doesnt necessarily mean that the phone is locked to the carrier.
i got a vodafone branded legend and i can use it with any carrier. im not suer if its the same for all vodafone branded phones, but on boot i got a vodafone logo plus 2 vodafone apps installed i cannot remove.
Hmm I don't have the Vodafone logo on start up and no apps installed. Is there another way to see if the phone is branded? I received the OTA updates from the last 3 months though, no problem with that.
I'll try tomorrow an Orange SIM to see if the phone in locked to a network.
seems like they forgot to flash the firmware of your phone.
vodafone branded phones arent simlocked, im using a prepaid medion mobile sim and used free 5€ o.tel.o sims in the past (germany).
there are 2 vodafone apps on the homescreen and there is an other bootanimation (without bootsound) and a slightly diffrent widget positioning.
the internal browser has vodafone.xx as its default page. thats it.
Check your software version number (settings - about phone - software information). If you post that here we could tell you for sure if your phone is using a vodafone branded ROM.

2.10.178.1 is my software number... is that branded?
Apparently my ROM is a Vodafone AU rom, but I've got no boot logo of Vodafone apps. Wonder when I'll get Froyo then. Hmm.
2.05.405.2 is the software number. Do you need also the kernel version or build number?

with smsbug? have you bought the device via ebay? maybe someone already removed every sign of the branding.
I have the same software number as in2ition. Mine came straight out of a vodafone store but doesn't have a vodafone boot logo or vodafone apps installed. Besides, the box in which I bought it, didn't have anything on it from vodafone either.
So I'm wondering if it's branded too. (?)
ps. And yes, it has the sms-bug.

identical situation
Your phone is not branded by the way. It was a faulty update that they didn't release everywhere because it caused that sms bug and broke many peoples wifi.
Hopefully they release Froyo for it for you soon
Hey guys!
I have HD2 I bought in Europe and am currently spending the summer in the USA. I'd like to know if I can use my phone with a SIM card from any operator here - the phone is not SIM locked. I have used it with SIM cards from another mobile operators in Europe. Should I flash the radio or something? I tried with an AT&T SIM card and it didn't work.
No need to reflash your European HD2. I am using a European HD2 on T-Mobile USA for more than a year (on stock ROM) and I never experienced any problems.
However,
make sure that your provider has a rooming agreement with either T-Mobile USA or AT&T.
I don't think you got me right. I don't want to use roaming. It's WAY expensive. I want to buy a SIM card from either T-Mobile or "Speed" or AT&T or whoever - doesn't matter really... and use it on my HD2.
LOL,
You didn't read my reply properly either! I said clearly I am using a European HD2 on T-Mobile USA, so, yes, as long as your Leo is unlocked, it will work just fine.
