Just wanted to say bye, and thanks, to everyone in the G1 Forum.
I've now sold my G1 and got a desire (which is awesome and dare I say it 10x better than the G1).
Thanks to everyone who has given me support, SuperD, Cyanogen and anyone else's rom I've used.
I'm waiting for a US release so I can use 3G or maybe even 4G. Hope you have fun with your desire.

but isn't it a GSM phone? capable of international use and unlock purchase? If so, you shouldn't have any problem getting 3g with your service provider.

USA 3G bands are "special." With the Desire you can't get 3G with either AT&T or T-Mobile.
Just to let you guys know, apparently it's coming out in Australia on some network that uses the same 3G Bands as the USA.

Out of curiosity, how much did you get for your G1? Sell it on ebay?

£130 on ebay, pretty decent as I didn't sell the SD Card with it.
I had intended to sell the 16gb SD Card, Phone (Boxed) and Motorola s9 wireless earphones.
The buyer wanted me to end the auction early and offered £130 for the phone only, guess I got lucky.
Same here, i got my Desire on Saturday and couldn't be happier with it!
Though i'm a sucker and gave my G1 to my dad, keep it in the family and all
Gonna sell my Hero though, i saw they still fetch around £180 on ebay...
As the title says, I am looking for an HTC Desire Z that works on Rogers / Fido / Telus / Bell (in Canada); AT&T in the US.
If you have one and want to arrange a trade, or just have questions, send me a PM.
Is this basically the Tmobile G2?

That's right. The G2 is basically the same phone as the Desire Z; although the G2 won't work on my network if I understand it correctly (or the 3G won't work at least).

Sorry, I was a bit unclear. I meant they've been flashing either G2 ROMs on a desire Z or vice versa, can't remember which.
Both phones will work on GSM networks.. Bell's desire Z has the hardware for At&t 3g while the G2 does not, but you could pop a sim in an unlocked G2 and get edge speeds on at&t. i wouldnt do that though
Yea I don't think I could live without at least 3G speeds on my cell. I travel alot and have my fair share of Edge only.
Why are you ditching your Nexus One when Gingerbread is within reach?
Maybe craigslist is more realistic.

I'll be waiting for it on my N1 too... I can be patient. AOSP is great for some, but until I see what is actually in Gingerbread I'll stick with the cyanogenmod Froyo.

I posted on kijiji as well. Nobody uses craigslist where I am.
I'm really not displeased with my nexus one, I just prefer a physical keyboard.
try in the marketplace here. be prepared to add money to your end of the deal as the Z goes for about $550. Part of me wants to get the Z cause I do miss having a keyboard, and it is faster, but my N1 still runs beautifully and I get to play with gingerbread first.
good luck on finding someone to trade with.

One of my favorite sites has New Nexus One's for 269.99 US. I have bought many things from this site and have never had any problems. I bought one just because it was my first and favorite android phone.

Is this the Tmo 3G or ATT 3g?
If you click on the read more button it says this in the details...
"3G 2100/1700 (AWS)/900 (except for AT&T customers)"
Att or Tmobile

I saw that in the details but not really sure what that means "except for AT&T customer". If I want to use this phone in Thailand am I going to have problem with the data network?
So is this the tmobile or att version? I'm thinking the att version is the one that would be more compatible with overseas networks.att
It's the T Mobile version.

i have a mytouch 4g and it was kool at first. but lately, i only use it for a few sites and barely use anything else. so i'm thinking of getting an xperia play so i can make more use of my phone. so my question is, can i use this phone for t-mobile? i went to sony style and they only have the verizon one and the guy who works there said i can't use it for tmobile. thanks

I think T-Mobile (USA) use the same 3G frequencies as the R800I, I'm not sure, you should check

Hi, I have the unlocked essential phone from Amazon. Can anyone on AT&T share their APN settings with me? I have already tried a few I found on Google, and tried changing some settings with that special number you put in the dialer to no avail. No matter where go I get HSPA. Nothing else.

This is outrageous. So even if I was to submit a return for my device, and get a different unlocked phone, I would not be able to get 4G? I've used unlocked phones on AT&T & got LTE years ago!

Yeah I think something else is up. I have constantly used unlocked phones on AT&T for the past 6 years and no issues. Even now I have the Essential and I have perfect LTE. Sorry man I wish I new what was up with your device, but I don't. Only thing I can think of is maybe you have a defective device and might think about returning it or warranty repair?

So APN is not the problem, now I'm gonna have to drive to AT&T & make a scene. If anyone has any more info I'd be glad to hear it. If someone did change their APN and got it to work I'd love to know.

My point is that Att knows that I have an Essential phone ( we installed the sims in the store) and in fact I have 2 of them on my account and they both use LTE. I have seen the H show up when traveling down I70 in Eastern Kansas but is almost always says LTE. Maybe I am misunderstanding the issue here. Here are my APN settings.
Edit: I also am set to Global under prefered network types. Where I live the Speed seems much faster than set on 4G/LTE from my speed tests 45Mb vs 20Mb not sure if that is scientific or not.

I have an idea tell me if you think it'll work. I just re read the thread that kinda explains this. I go back to at&t and have them put a new sim card in my old Zenfone 2, which is micro SD. It is unlocked and I had 4G working on it. Then cut the sim card and put it in the essential phone and Bam. What do you think? Or is it already in this "database"?

Yes while you could use the device on AT&T as many of have it was not a recognized device by at&t. If you gave them your IMEI they wouldn't recognize the device as an official AT&T compatible device. Why some people like yourself don't get the full AT&T experience like LTE. That won't be an issue now. The essential PH-1 is an officially recognized device by AT&T.
So do I need a new sim now? I've been messing around with settings and still can't get 4G.
