At the bottom of the T-Mobile page. http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/phones/Cell-Phone-Detail.aspx?cell-phone=HTC-HD2
So is that the contract or non contract price?

no way
is this officail if it is then wow was expecting a bigger price, tmobile is making a huge step in relasing this, this phone is mine as soon it hit stores

450????? Holy mother of god that's cheap
I thought 530 for the nexus one was an amazing deal. You bet your sweet ass I'll be at the local T-mobile store on the release day.
It was between the nexus one and the HD2, but I think saving 80 bucks will be a better bet. Even though it probably won't get wp7, I'll be happy with it.

We will find out for sure at MIX
http :// www .engadget.com/2010/03/01/microsoft-sending-mixed-signals-on-windows-phone-7-series-upgrad/

all we need now is the official releasee!!!
ill buy it as soon as it gets here

Wow I hope those are the prices, depressing that its 100 cheaper than my Fuse and my S730 lol...

Damn good price.

Hmmm decisions decisions.
Was about to get the euro version unbranded for 599 shipped.
and now tmobiles unsubsidized price is rumored at 450. so technically 480ish after my state taxes.
What do you guys think? Pay 120 more for unbranded + euro/asia 3g? or get the unsubsidized for 480 and unlock it later.
I am on tmobile us right now and don't plan on getting 3g on my plan anyways. and I am traveling abroad to asia for a year but I might not even subscribe to a 3g plan (maybe just edge) while im over there.
You guys think tmobile version would be any different or more difficult to flash roms?

The US T-Mobile version has more ROM. Just get it to make the other countries jealous.

Could it be that they were able to keep the price down because they were able to include the Blockbuster app?

The price could be low because they want to get a lot of them out.. due to NO WP7 upgrade or because it WILL be WP7 upgrade.
Or maybe just because it's a few months ago now and they feel bad for us..

could the TMo version work outside the US?

This is fantastic news. Now i can upgrade from my htc x7501

so when is the officail relaease date then i have heard the 12th, the 14th, and the 24th??? anyone with any officail news on a release date???

3G Band Frequency
Hey guys, do we know what 3G band frequencies the T-mobile version will have?
I know that T-mobile uses 1700Mhz for 3G... do we know if this version will have other bands like 850Mhz....
I live in Canada and I do plan to buy the HD2 in near future, in Canada in order to get 3G you need either 850Mhz, 1700Mhz or 1900Mhz frequency band enabled phone.
I would like to buy a phone that can do 3G, rather than the Europe version. If the price of this phone is actually $449, then I will most probably buy this one.
Does anyone know how you can buy this phone from Canada, I mean for this price? I know some websites that sell unlocked phones but the prices are usually very high.
Thank You

Hmmm, i coulda swore i read somewhere that tmobile uses the 1700 band for 3G

yeah tmobile uses 1700/2100 for 3g in the US.
it will not have the 850 or 1900 bands.

From one Roger user to another...The answer is NO, t-mobile 3G model will not work on Rogers/Fido network or the new Bell/Telus HSPA network. The T-Mobile phone will only be useful if you are on WindMobile as they use the same 3G frequency as T-Mobile.
The Europe version T8585 will give yah Edge speeds while the T9193(Telstra) will give yah 3G speeds here in Canada.
Hope that helps to clear the confusion.

Has anybody seen it in store yet? Perhaps in the hands of a sales rep? I've heard reports that they're doing training for it this week.

Europe : Paid 570 euro...
last news : no upgrade to Windows 7
no flash player 10 for windows 6.5 in future.
even would't pay 300 euro for this device !!!

US version on European 3G Networks

Hey Everyone,
So I live in Germany but I will be visiting the USA for Thanksgiving weekend. I am contemplating buying the Tab for $550 at Best Buy on black Friday. So if I find it worth it, should I get the Sprint or T-Mobile one? Or can I even use either of them unlocked so I can use 3G with my German Fonic SIM card (I think it uses the O2 networks)?
Thanks

T-Mobile US and AT&T are your only options. You will have to SIM unlock them.
Sprint and Verizon use their own wireless transmission protocol that is, with a few exceptions, incompatible with the rest of the world. In particular, no SIM card

The biggest issue you will find is the lack of phone functionality on the US models.
You should however be able to flash a Euro firmware, and it's quite likely that you get both phone and 3G data on a European network. I couldn't definitively state that this is the case though!
Caveat Emptor!
Regards,
Dave

OK, so you think I would be able to get T-Mobile version, and it should work with the 3G connections in Europe? And if so, can I easily unlock it and put in my SIM card as I have done with other American smartphones I use here?
Thanks

I think you're better of getting the AT&T Tab since it will have the UMTS 850, 1900, 2100 bands, EU uses the 2100, you will have to flash the eu rom on it though... Wait, the TMO Tab also has 2100... IDK someone will have to chime in...
Here's a comparison of the US models and the international Tab:

You might double check.... cus based on my local store and the best buy website... they are only selling Verizon and Sprint tabs... I don't think the will be selling Tmos, according to a Best Buys rep.
But of course Tmo should have them in stock...

If the standard Euro Tab is available in your airport departure lounge, you should be able to pick one up on your outward bound journey VAT free. It might still be more expensive than a US one, but not by much (assuming they are priced similarly to the UK) and would probably be a better bet all round.
Regards,
Dave

Nexus S pricing

for the sim free version in the US its gonna be $529 and for the same sim free version in the UK its gonna be £549
Using google currency converter i found the US version to be £220 cheaper ($330)
Would it be possible for me to buy a US version and get it shipped to UK to use here since they essentially are both the same?
thanks in advance for the replies guys
not sure where the right place to post this is, so MODs if feel it should be elsewhere.

I think you might find that the US version is aimed at T-Mobile which means that the 3g frequency would be wrong for the UK, edge would work ok. If they come out with an ATT version, then that one would probably work ok on 3g in the UK.

actually its the other way around. T-mo version works fine in Europe, but not att. att uses 850mhz band, while T-mo and europe uses 900mhz.
so yes, it will work fine in UK

ill still by it anyways lol

I think that would only matter stateside. Both the att and tmo versions will support Europe's 2100 umts networks.

the us version will support euro 3g.

The UK pricing is insulting really, I don't know who they expect to pay the full unlocked price. I think I may have too find a way to import it from the US. If anyone has a suggestion..

I'll be doing my best to source alternatives sources for an S, if there's anything else to put me off, they'll have lost a customer:-
No SD, unfair pricing basically forcing an Import (I bet warranties on imports will be void since there was a valid UK source...)

not sure mate but i doubt it.
for e.g
cheapest iphone 4 on contract is £25 a month for 75 mins and 250 texts for 24 months with £219 for the handset.
Seems ridiculous and i could use up the allowance in 2 days lol, compare that to AT&T and it looks like you lot are getting a bargain lol

Can the US version accept SIM cards?

Yes. ATT and TMO use sims in their phones. I don't know if the nexus s is a micro sim like the iphone4 is though.

Yes, it's Sprint or Verizon (or both) than can't take a SIM. AT&T/T-Mobile use SIMs.

You can't compare an iPhone tariff to an Android one, Apple take a huge cut and are ridiculously priced for handset and tariff. Try comparing the same phones in the UK and US and you'll see a big difference.

As far as I know, all Google Nexus phones are unlocked by default.

Im suprised that Nexus S (£550 = about 650 EUR) costs more than iPhone 4 in EU (£500). Also it costs much more than SGS (420 EUR here) or even Desire HD (540 EUR).

Is atrix on amazon unlocked?

Amazon says the atrix can be shipped to outside the US
Does it mean it is unlocked?
No contract price is $599
Is it the same one as the $499 in the ATT Store?
(some thread says ATT's no-contract price is 499 or 399?)
Thanks

i can't find no-contract atrix on amazon.

go to amazonwireless.com and go to the atrix. It has options on the left for Phone Only no contract. Which adds it to the cart for $599.99. Since it's labeled AT&T it is the same phone in the same AT&T box. This most likely means it is locked to AT&T at the moment.

Even if you buy instore then price will $550 anyways with tax and all.

interested to know as well

the phone is locked to at&t.
Does anyone know where I can get it unlock if I buy the phone outright.

i bought it online without contract from at&t store for 531 with taxes

was it unlocked tho (can use with another sim card)

AT&T probably won't sell it unlocked out of the box, this has been discussed in many threads. You'll have to get the unlock code from a seller(online) or call up AT&T and tell them you're going to a foreign country and need an unlock code(This has apparently worked great for previous phones).

Does the Atrix 4G support WCDMA 2100 MHz?
I am located in Germany and wanna buy Atrix 4G. My friend is coming from US in March end so I can ask him to bring it for him. I am just not sure if the Atrix 4G supports the 2100 Mhz WCDMA band.
The Motorola website mentions in its technical specifications for the Atrix 4G dat it supports WCDMA 2100 Mhz. hxxp://yyy.motorola.com/Consumers/US-EN/Consumer-Product-and-Services/Mobile-Phones/ci.Motorola-ATRIX-US-EN.alt
But the same cannot be confirmed in the AT&T website and in the other online vendors as Amazon. hxxp://wireless.amazon.com/dp/B004KZP4BQ
I really wanna have this phone. But I want to have the 3G/UMTS/HSPA working here.

i would like to know this too
I'm currently in Hong Kong and their 3G band is 2100mhz as well
GSMarena lists the Atrix 4G to have 3G 850/1900/2100
but on Walmart/Amazon it lists it only as 3G 850/1900
can anyone confirm?
if its truly a tri-band 3G phone, i would buy those phone outright from amazon right now
Thanks for any input!

Keep in mind that with an AT&T exclusive it will be monts before they offer an unlock. And even the unlocking services could not unlock the Samsung Captivate for months.

Firstly, does buying the no contract phone from Amazon, might still be not usable on other networks.
Secondly, I was digging on the AT&T website it offers a "no commitment pricing" of 499$. Should I still be worried because I wanna use the phone in Germany?
I have no idea how the US cellular plans work, so a bit of insight would be helpful.

Judging by what other people say $499 will get you the phone without any contract... you will not have to pay AT&T a monthly fee.
BUT! because this phone is currently exclusive to AT&T it will only work with their SIM cards until it is unlocked. This process took several months for the Samsung Captivate... so at the moment there is no way to guarantee that the phone you buy will be able to use your SIM card.

Good news, now where and when can we buy it!?

s-off too ?

"One thing it's missing? AWS HSPA/WCDMA access, which should limit its opportunities on T-Mobile until it rolls out LTE service."

I don't get it, why do you have to pay extra for this now? Should be as standard, I ain't gonna support this scam, Glad I don't live in the US.

Since they released an unlocked version the US variants won't probably be unlockable through htcdev.

LOL! I'll bet 90% of the people who would get that aren't developers at all.

And it's US-only...

Wow, I feel lucky. I'll be visiting the US in May. I'll be getting a 64GB version for cheap

I would get it now if it was available. My 32GB order from handtec.uk cost $653
Sounds like a better deal for a 64GB version!

Just on the basis of it being an unlocked/ unbranded version with LTE AND 64GB of memory, I'm all over it! I'm really glad I didn't order an unlocked one from overseas now!

No chance of this being made available in Europe with UK LTE frequencies, I suppose...?

Since the rest of the world has always had the ability to purchase unlocked phones for any carrier and US wireless companies tend to want their phones locked down tight to their networks, it might not be a big market concern for them outside of the US market. If enough people wrote/ called/ messaged HTC from other regions they might be willing to make a version for other areas with LTE, but it sounds like that isn't their immediate plan.

I am way more likely to get One given this. $650 for 64GB is a great deal. IPhone 5 64 is $850 US. I bet this will be a Nexus 4 -- sell out in 30 minutes -- situation.
Then again, I am on ATT, soon to go to Straight Talk.

This version will be sold with sim and bootloader factory unlocked? If so it works in all countries...

So this would work fine on Sprint? I don't understand this AWS business.
