So I noticed that the Evo 4G is a CDMA device.
I am in the UK and all of our carriers are GSM.
I was wondering if anyone had managed to get around this (if possible) and what did you do, because I would really REALLY like to get one.
Thanks =)

You're out of luck, because The Evo 4G is CDMA only [no sim card for GSM]. The new Evo Design, slightly smaller than the 4G, is supposed to be a world phone, so you could look up the HTC Evo Design, as it'll be your best option.

Sure, if you want to install an LTE chip, SIM card reader, and then integrate firmware, software, and drivers.
Our phones are lacking the hardware to be compatible with LTE, unfortunately :/.

Without the pricing for the 4g plan on phones it might not be worth it. Also have to be near a tower.
4g mifi card?
Is this the at&t version? If so I can not wait.

4g ? So this means it is diffirent hardware? Like the difference betwn gsm and cdma?

It's still GSM but supports the upcoming 4G LTE. It should work on European networks, but only at 2G speeds, just like the DHD works on US GSM networks.

Why not just release Desire HD for the whole world? Why restrict it to EU and then make a slightly different one with a different name for US? Weird... s:
Because North Americans like to be "unique"
Is not us north Americans who want to be unique, In this case AT&T wants to have its way as always and restrict the phone and add their usual brand crap. If only HTC would sell it US VERSION UNLOCKED I would pay 600 for it.
I think the mentality is different in the US. People don;t usually buy SIM free phones at the full price there. Most get locked in a contract in which you get a free phone.
Moreover, the US uses different 3G bands than the rest of the world (except Telstra).
HTC Inspire (AT&T) is in FACT a Desire HD (ACE).
There will be plenty of good firmware available for it, including CM7.

The inspire is not a desire HD, for starters its a 4G device, so it will need totally diffrent radios, as for roms, i wouldnt be suprised if it had a revised hardward setup meaning it will need its own roms...

hey,
my Aunt gave me an evo 4g for sprint today and thought i could use it (i have t mobile), so after about 15 minutes of explaining to her why i can't use it, i decided it was easier to just accept it and say thank you.
But now I have this phone that i cannot use and i am wondering what would be a t mobile equivalent seeing as how i am looking to trade it.
Any suggestions? It's mint condition with an otterbox
Root, super CID and use it?

well its cdma, so no SIM slot so i wouln't be able to use it....right?
Oh... derp. I dont know much about US phones so yeah maybe use it as a gaming device (put a load of ROM's n emulators on there. Use it as an alarm clock? Thers literally literally 100's of uses.
Sent from another dimension...
thanks don't hurt ya know?
Maybe HTC mytouch 4G? Idk, I think its a better idea to sell the EVO then buy a different phone rather than trade.
Sent from my MB508 using xda premium
yea, i thought about the hand-held emulator thing, but seeing as how i have a rooted g1 and a jb unlocked iphone 3, i'd really just like a newer phone.
If i sold it, what do you think i could get for it? 100 dollars?
HTC didn't really make many T-Mobile phones of that generation. Just the MT4G AND G2. Spec-wise, the Samsung Galaxy S 4G is similar, but the Vibrant has much better support by devs here.
I think you can also unlock the Infuse 4G to run on TMO, but I'd check on that yourself to see if you can get it to run on TMO's 4G network. Otherwise, sell it, save up some cash, and buy a T989 used. Some great ROMs for us over there.
root it through a custom rom on it, sell it for $120
It doesn't have a SIM slot?

nah, just cdma support
i can't get into the marketplace >.< but does anyone have a t mobile phone for sale that has a 1 gig processor and hopefully around 512 ram? I just found out that the evo i have doesn't have a clean ESN because i was mistaken....i thought it was my aunts old phone that she didn't need anymore, but really it was just a phone that she found. so i am in the process of contacting the previous owner to give the phone back
DHD is a good (but the Dev's are dropping like flies) device, served me well for nearly 2 years

So my og is a mess of cracks and other issues and my 3vo has the digitizer ghost touch. So I am looking for a new cdma device. Been looking at the note 2, s4, and a couple of the nexus devices.
I flash my phone so bad esn phones are the best way to go for me. They are cheaper than new and i don't get stuck with a contract. The nexus phones seem to have the best of the aftermarket roms but not sure which one is the best. I do like htc sense but so far the one just seems out classed by the rest.
So I figured I would see what others think would be the way to go.

I ended up on a ego 4g lte

I've found the LTE EVO pretty cheap on craiglist and swappa. As well as the Droid DNA which is both cdma and gsm. I've gone the way of GSM now because there is a Wal-mart exclusive t-mobile prepaid plan for $30 a month unlimited text, and data (up to 5gigs high speed then throttled afterwards) 100 minutes. Though I rarely make calls.

This may help me make a decision on a new phone. I go the prepaid route as well. I'm currently in the same market as a phone buyer so I will have to keep GSM in mind. Thanks for that heads up sir.
The downside of gsm is the simcard. Your esn is on the card so there are no bad esn phones which means the prices are higher than a cdma with a bad esn.

I'm still using my OG,Not sure i wanna give it up,its been a good ole phone,very reliable and durable and i have a great rom(Eternal Prophecy) that does good on battery and speed and looks good,so i might hold out for a really good phone,haven't found anything that holds a candle to the EVO yet.

The EVO LTE was a nice upgrade a year ago when I moved up from my OG EVO. A year later, though, there is a whole new swath of Android phones to choose from. If I had to upgrade now from my EVO LTE I don't even know what I'd choose. It's definitely a "buyers market", so to speak.

No and I do not believe they have a forum for it. I used to have one and they didn't then.
