I'm not sure how many people here know about canadian 2g/3g providers, but does any one know if the verizon droid incredible works on telus' 2g/3g network? I heard somewheres that both verizon and telus have cdma networks?

Will sprint let me use this phone on there network? Is it CDMA?
Thanks.
Afraid not...it's for the GSM networks.
I'm just curious if there's anyone out there with an HD2 on Verizon? If not, is it possible to do it? The HD2 is a quad band device, so doesn't it have the hardware capable to be on a CDMA network? I was thinking that if I bought an unlocked HD2, I would be able to put it on my account with Verizon. I guess I would have to be running a different radio in order to do that though.
Anyone have any thoughts, comments, suggestions? I really want one of these phones, but I can't switch from Verizon because no other provider gives me 3g in my area. Plus, my Touch Pro 2 is getting dated compared to that 1gz Snapdragon!
HD2 is a GSM phone. Pretty sure it can't be made to work on a CDMA network.
Technology
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
WCDMA/HSPA: 1700 MHz (AWS) / 2100 MHz
Taken from the HD2 tech specs on HTC's website.
If it has a CDMA radio, why couldn't it work if it were unlocked?
Does Verizon have a sim card to put in the phone? If not, how can they make it work on their network.
Verizon does have sim cards, they use them in the Blackberry Storm, which is both GSM/CDMA ...
But It may be like the storm if it is activated via the IMEI that it may not require a sim card ...
rly? i never thought verizon would use sim cards...can we bring non verizon phones them from lets say ATT to their network?
Verizon has SIM cards for their GSM/CDMA world phones. Sprint also has world edition blackberries with a SIM card. The SIM card is there so the phone is able to roam onto a GSM network outside of the USA. As far as I know this SIM card will not allow it to roam onto a USA GSM network, since there are no roaming agreements in place between VZ and ATT/TMO
The WCDMA on the HD2 is not the same as CDMA that VZ/Sprint use.
WCDMA is the 3G standard that GSM providers use. CDMA is well as far as i know the same old CDMA network that VZ/Sprint have used for ages with whatever "bolt on" enables 3G on their network. I dont follow the CDMA standard so i dont know all the specifics about the tech.
Edit:
I just did a small amount of wikipedia research. What Verizon/Sprint use is CDMA2000/EV-DO
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CDMA2000
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution-Data_Optimized
This is not compatible with WCDMA,
Even though they both use "CDMA" family of technology http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_division_multiple_access
WCDMA is a wideband version http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WCDMA
Thanks for the replies guys. This is a bummer though. I was really hoping to be able to get an HD2 to use with Verizon. Oh well, guess I'll wait for the Droid X to release, even though I'd like to stick with WiMo.
I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on this issue. Will the unlocked GSM T8686 Trophy work with verizon? Every google search seems to say that the Trophy is GSM + CDMA. I just want to know before I purchase this.
The Verizon version (HTC mwp6985) is both CDMA and GSM. The phone is capable of doing both, for roaming and international use. You would probably have to call Verizon to verify if they would alow the T8686.
The answer is NO.
Verizon require a special version of the HTC Trophy that's CDMA capable.
A regular HTC Trophy is GSM only.
Verizon's HTC Trophy is CDMA + GSM.

If you live in a city that has been refarmed (airportal.de will let you know) then you will get 3g. If you live in an area not refarmed but that has T-Mobile 3g, then if your phone has 1700/2100 (both bands) for 3g you will be able to use it. Also the SIM needs to be unlocked.

Only if you live in an area that has been refarmed. (Meaning the 1900MHz band in your area supports HSPA+) otherwise your will only get EDGE, as that particular device does not have the 1700 AWS band to support native HSPA+ on T-Mobile's network.
Hickory, Dickory, Dox...Snowflake approves of my HOX....
Just wondering if this will work on att or straight talk with lte or even h+??
Thanks
Also isn't this phone the moto x play but renamed for Verizon? (BC same specs, size, screen, battery) lol

We have tried it with cricket Wireless.
We have tried it with Cricket Wireless with no issue, and Cricket is now owned by AT&T
Yes it should work on AT&T as it supports LTE Bands 2/4/5 where available. In areas that this phone will not work on LTE it will drop down to 4G(HSPA+ or H+) on AT&T or Cricket, or H2O, or Airvoice, or Consumer Cellular, etc.
Also supports T-Mobile's LTE on Bands 2/4. Band 4 for Major city's T-Mobile LTE and Band 2 for some rural areas T-Mobile LTE.
