Where to get a HTC Snap GSM (for Rogers) near Toronto/Hamilton ?
Any ideas ?
They are still selling the Snap at all telus stores. this is how I got mine an you do not need a data plan for this phone 175.00 gets it outright. for the gsm over the river in the US is the only place to get it T-Mobile Dash 3G then just unlock it
hey guys i am planning to buy a HTC EVO for my brother soo i want to know will i be able to use it in dubai or will it only work in USA or is there any unlock for it like iphone ??
The EVO isn't GSM. So no, it won't work anywhere except Sprint in the USA. Well, it could maybe work in a few select markets, but it WILL NOT work like the iPhone, Nexus One, etc etc etc... Sorry!
awwrite thnx man
are there CDMA network in dubai ?
no there arent any cdma networks
Anyone aware of an unlock to allow use on Verizon?
I have been reading the unlocking / voice calling threads about the galaxy tab and they are really informative. However, with the thread growing so long and so many different carriers being discussed, I lose track of which version is doing what.
So, since I am buying one today, I would really like to know which carrier would be the best to unlock here in the US. Should I buy the AT&T or T-Mobile vesrion? Does unlocking or flashing one or the other provide better use or functionality than the other?
What are your thoughts?
Thanks,
JT
^from what i have read on here the tmo version is not compatible at the moment with the unlocks;
hence the at&t version is best in usa; and the bell canada version in CDA..
enjoy!
i would go with att because it will be compatible with Euro 3G frequencies also you will be able to hack to get phone calls AND 3g. I believe Tmobile is only getting voice and edge at the moment...
Why are the Verizon and Sprint models left behind?

Because they are obviously more difficult to unlock and are probably less compatible with any other countries network. Almost every carrier worldwide uses GSM, sim cards. So version nor sprint wouldnt be a good choice since they don't use sim cards.

Yes you would! A TMo Tab still supports regular 2100MHz UMTS.

1. Both at&t and tmobiles tabs can be easily carrier (network) unlocked. Verizon and Sprint are CDMA and will not work in Europe. Also I am not sure that anybody knows how to switch these tabs from one carrier to another.
2. Another story about getting voice and 3G in the US. So far the best case for using tmobile phone sim presents at&t tab. Tmobile does not recognize this tab and their broadband device and allows for voice calling.
I could have voice and EDGE on tmobile using at&t tab with flashed EUR firmware and bell modem.
'I'm with Verizon's tab in SF, USA. Rooted with 4Zroot.
Using Droid X overclock application (market) on other extra features only.
GV & Skype (mod for 3G), can make calls & receives with both 3G (data plan $20-1Gb) & Wifi plane mode. I hope this helps.

Is it possible to root the Sprint version? Can you run custom roms?
Tethering with my Droid X is working too. I haven't done the recovery yet, waiting for stable version.

I am new to all this and just want to be 100% clear.
If I have a TMob Tab I have to use an ATT sim. If I have a ATT Tab I can use either ATT or Tmob sim.
If I use the ATT Tab with my current Iphone 3gs sim (unlimited everything) I will have full voice and 3g function?
If I use the Tmobile Tab with my ATT sim (unlimited everything) I will full voice and only 2g data?
Im sorry for asking such a simple question but I just want to be sure before I buy a Tab today.
Thank you all in advance.
Att and tmobile are using different frequencies thus 3G won't work if you are not using sim and tab from the same carrier. You can get only EDGE.
Att tab allows for voice and data when using t-mobile sim with voice and data plan.
I don't have knowledge of whether t-mobile allows the same with att sim.
T-mobile does not allow for voice and data when using their sim...

Thanks, that cleared it up for me.
I'd be happy with a TMob tab that had voice and Edge at this point. I'm almost always in WiFi anyway.
I picked up a Tmob tab today, if things dont look up soon I will return it and get the ATT.
Hi @ all
I want to get this phone, but now it is only available in the US, not in europe....
i think, like the most of the htcs, the shift won't be selled in europe....
Can anybody tell me who sells this phone without a deal of Sprint?
(onlinestore prefered)
i already looked for it at amazon, but the only offer i found was with deal of sprint....
thanking you in anticipation!

i just found their hp, but also only with plan of sprint
You can buy any phone without a contract. That doesn't mean ur carrier will support it tho. Just expect to pay full price on it

If you're planning on using the phone in Europe be careful. Most providers in Europe are gsm which sprint is cdma. Only a couple countries in Europe/middle east operate with cdma towers. Don't quote me but I believe Israel and areas around there use cdma but then again you have know the frequencies also to make sure its the same cdma. Kinda how it is with sprint and Verizon. Cdma but different frequencies. 800,900,1800,1900...etc etc. Correct me if I'm wrong if anyone has any more insite on this topic.

Some countries in South America use different frequencies.
Israel, parts of Korea, parts of Japan, parts of China, parts of India, and some of the small islands in that area use the same CDMA frequencies. There aren't many, really.

damn, i didn't thought about this.....
you are right, CDMA is not supported in europe.
i read they started a test with CDMA in germany, but nothing more.
either i have to wait till a gsm-version is available (i didn't think so) or have to be satisfied with the desire z.....
Thank u guys for this "short" discussion!
Letstalk.com 89$ no tax with 2 year contract

no problem, and yes the desire z would probably be your best bet if you're looking for a gsm comparable model of phone to the evo shift. good luck.
Hey I'm mostly looking for suggestions here. I'm a US TMO customer. I bought a MyTouch 3G on ebay, it seems to work fine using the SIM from one of my other phones. I called TMO and they're sending me the unlock code.
When I get to London, I'm planning to buy a prepaid SIM and pop it in. Does anybody have any experience or recommendations in terms of who I should get it from, TMO UK, Orange, Virgin, etc? Which one if any will give me 3g data, and how will I know the Access Point info to get the data working?
Thanks!
MC
A Google search will get you the APN settings once you decide on a carrier. For data, you just need to make sure whatever carrier you goes with uses the correct 3G band for the myTouch. I'm pretty sure Vodaphone (if its offered) will work fine off the top of my head. Again, you can get the correct bands from searching.
