Hey everyone quick question. If a T-mobile customer in the U.S. were to order an unlocked magic branded with the Vodafone logo, could they still update the phone and such when the U.S. version hits in July. Say that U.S. T-mobile has sent out an update for their phone, could the person who has the Vodafone version update as well? I am debating about ordering an unlocked magic from Timtechs.com to use here in the U.S. and was wondering what were the possible drawbacks, besides 3G, that I may face.
For the same price (or less actually) as the vodaphone imports you can get one of the Google ION phones off of ebay if you're looking for something a little more interesting.
It supports the american 3G bands as well. I paid 589 for mine.
I have debated on ordering one, but am afraid of possibly receiving just a box lol. Actually the area of texas i live at doesn't have 3G yet, I am always running the E - EDGE network so it really doesn't bother me.

Got one for $400 practically new. Camera is decent but no AF and flash suck ball.
or get the one of the ones Rogers is releasing tomorrow in Canada..
Well, would it be the same version that the U.S. should be getting? if i could find a good canadian website that would ship to the U.S. I may be looking into this lol.
I just received a Vodaphone HTC Magic version and I got the phone to work nicely on AT&T with the APN info. But, 3G does not work. It only shows EDGE. Does anyone know how to get the 3G to work? Or, is there a ROM that I can flash to?
Let me know -

No since it has different 3G radio.
Rogers version will work since it has the same 3G bands as AT&T (850 and 1900).
Hey, wait....so since it has the same bands as AT&T...would that be the same as T-Mobile? Any one know a good canadian retailer who ships to the U.S.?
Anyone in Europe using a unlocked TMOUS HD2??
How is it, call quality, 3G/H??
+1 to the request for information on 3G.
I am looking to buy an HD2 and need it to work both in the US and Europe. Originally thought of the T9193, but since the TMOUS version is so much easier to pay for, I am seriously considering it.
Theoretically, it should work in Europe as well due to its support in the 2100 band. However, I could not get a definite answer on whether this is indeed the case or whether some deeper technical differences will not allow it to receive 3G anywhere else in the world...
Any information on this is highly appreciated. Thanks!
its should work with no problems, the u.s. band includes european and other contries but the others dont work for the u.s. band
correct me if i'm wrong, but theoretically, having only a single umts band abailable (2100 for example) means a phone won't do HSDPA, correct? Only single band 3g?
I'ma wait till someone tried it

But, i have seen from here that the providers in Asia/Gulf are using only single band for 3G/HSPDA(2100)
so...no one knows yet? the waiting is killing me
I also found this thread that didn't really solve the puzzle
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645489
Am grateful for any ideas on how to verify this before buying!
It surely does
I'll report back on how the T-MoUS HD2 works on 3G (2100) in Norway when I receive it..
What about Europe...
Hello folks,
for all who are asking the question will 3G/HDSPA work in Europe with a TMOUS
HD2 I will answer it by the end of April. I have the HD2 TMOUS and will fly back
on April 25 and arrive on April 26th in Germany. So if I get my unlock cocde by
then i will tell you, otherwise i have to wait till it's unlocked. But I will let you
know.

Awesome. I'll be going to Europe on May 14th.
Also, does anyone know if it's possible to get a local SIMs card in Europe with a data plan for a reasonable price?

Vodafone blox, 10 euro.
Just started looking around to buy an X10. Can't seem to find one that supports ATT's 850/1900 frequency. Do they even sell an X10 that supports that yet ?
Not at the moment. Probably soon. Rogers (Canadian carrier) will be selling its LOCKED x10a so if you want to get it, you'll need to get it unlocked. But it does have the correct frequency for AT&T.
Its coming, rumor has it possible as soon as the Rogers release mid month. Try this link for a little unlocked 850/1900 love ---> http://www.expansys-usa.com/d.aspx?i=190979
Ah ok, thanks guys.
Ya, the X10 will be available through Rogers directly (as well as through Canadian Best Buy stores) on April 15th. Should be $549.99 CDN. It should work on AT&T once unlocked.
There's a thread over on HoFo where U.S. customers are requesting X10's from Canadians:
Anyone In Canada could buy a x10 for me ?
We cant just wander over the border and pick one up?

Of course you can. Not convenient for many is all.
In theory the Canadian BB unlocked phone should be the same thing as the American version, be curious to see where it gets priced. Wondering if we will get it in BBs south of the border as I type this.... I would love to put my grubs on this before making a decision.
Hello all
you lucky sods we are not getting this phone or a version of it here in the U.K or Europe. So my ? is what’s the possibility of this phone working on our networks as i am thinking of getting one from you lucky sods. cheers jez
The EVO is a CDMA phone, so if you could somehow unlock the phone and then get it activated on a UK CDMA network(do such things exist?) you could get it working.

Hello Tilton53
been looking and it appears it will not work on our network and as usual HTC are blind to our requirements and have no plans to launch a version for us. It amazes me how someone who bleets on about how they listen to their users always miss the mark for us. Maybe they will wake up one day and make a phone like this and make it world wide universal. I mean I don’t like apple in any sense but a least they make their products universal and available world wide. Cheers jez
P.S maybe someone here will crack the issue so we can use them and get it from the U.S.A
The UK only has GSM networks, so it's a no-go for you guys. And quit complaining about missing the mark. We've always had to wait months and months for HTC to release their handsets in the US after their European release. I'm sure HTC has something cooking for the rest of the world if the EVO takes off.
Has anybody heard anything about when this phone might be released in the UK, really want to get it for my gf?
Cheers
Has nobody heard anything about a possible UK release?
If not does anybody fancy shipping one over to the UK for me, would really like one haha!
Would these radio bands work over in the uk?
Yea it should do, the phone is quad-band so I presume everything would be ok!
