Hi, I was just wondering if this will work in the uk, I am on T-Mobile network but the phone is not "BRANDED" if that makes any difference....cheers in advance.
I couldn't get it to work in the UK.

Hi all,
as the distribution for this phone is currently limited to those 4 countries, what are the options of buying one there (an unlocked one) and then using it in a regular Network outside?
What limitations do i need to consider?
What risks am i taking?
I believe switzerland runs a regular GSM network,nothing special.
regards
Living in France, I am also considering buying it in the UK.
As far as I remember, the French and UK 3G bands are similar, and I could pickup some 3G signal with my French HD while in the UK. I guess it should work the other way around
Has anyone ordered from non US countries? Any info about the price there?
I live in France too, and I'm very interested in this phone. I wait to know if it works in France.
Waiting for it from Switzerland
It is expected to hit France in the first quarter of 2010 on SFR...
If you want it now, you'd better find a friend in the UK who will order it for you and ship it. In the UK, it retails at around 450€ inc VAT.

Nothing special if you are using GSM SIM. However, google is controlling the sale, so the location to ship the phone to must be within its restricted country list. If you know of an escrow service in Switzerland which charges you for a shipment address in US, you can bypass that restriction.
Has anyone been able to get their x10 on the 3g network? If so, what setting did you use?
Do you have a X10i or X10a? Only X10i can be on 3G T-Mobile in US (and WIND in Canada).
I do. It just automatically detected the t-mobile settings and got 3g.
I have an x10i (from UK) and works perfectly on T-Mobile (USA) 3G
It is an "A." Am I screwed with 3g?
Im afraid you are my friend. You need "i"...time to sell or switch to AT&T...if u sell you still should be able to by the X10i, as long as everything is still new etc
anyone want to buy a phone?

Is your phone unlocked?
Are Indian sim cards working?
If they are, then the phone will work normally in Canada too.

Alright. I've been searching the FAQs and forums and would like someone(s) to set me straight on the following:
1. The Dell Steak is currently being sold in the UK direct from Dell _unlocked_ and also via O2 on or off contract. The _unlocked_ version is not just sim free but can be used on any GSM network that the UK version supports (T-Mobile UK, e.g.). True or False? If true, out-of-the-box (OOB), rooted and special ROM, or SmartSim?
2. If this is true what is this O2 exclusive deal with Dell and which phones are they 'blacklisting' if someone tries to use a SmartSim or similar?
3. If T-Mobile in the UK and US use the same frequencies, would an unlocked Streak from the UK work on T-Mobile in the US with a US sim?
4. If AT&T is the exclusive carrier in the US when it is released, then does anyone really expect Dell to sell an unlocked version? Aren't we really planning on seeing just a contract/no contract price for the same version?
Sorry if that's a lot for a single post, but it all seems related and didn't make sense to split up.
The phones that 02 sell are LOCKED and will not be unlocked by them in the near Future. It will work with a Rebel Sim on any network in the UK so i am told.
The ones from Dell are UNLOCKED and can run on any Sim in the UK
Now i have not read of any one from the US getting a Unlocked streak from the UK and using it it in the US
They have just started selling them in France and Germany locked, not sure about unlocked
I have trawled through the Internet and have not come across a UK one working in the USA
Direct from Dell Streaks are SIM free and unlocked out of the box, mine works fine on T-Mobile UK.
O2's exclusive deal was for a limited period and expired at the beginning of July I believe.
T-Mobile UK and US operate on different bands, specifically the US requires the 1700 band for downstream data.
I believe Dell US had a pre-order page on their website which suggests they will be available unlocked from launch there. Probably because they will only work on AT&T's network for 3G its probably not worth them going to the trouble of an exclusive deal.

Thanks
Thanks for the clarification. Hopefully the tags will help others find the same answers.
In France they are unlocked

Hi,
I was wondering if a Xoom bought in Germany could connect to the internet in the US. I am very close to buying one but I would like to be able to use it in the US, too. Is this possible?
Offtopic: Do they sell prepaid SIM cards in the US to use with that German Xoom tablet?
cheers
