canada/usa users opinion plz :-)

ok, i am pretty happy with my x10a but will be travelling to key west florida in about a month. what id like to know is whats the latest android device in the usa with a hard keyboard? ive heard about the droid global but not much. im asking because i am from canada and we are always 6+ months behind cell technology so id like to pickup a new device as good or better than the x10. i do a massive amount of texting which is why im thinking of the hard keyboard option. i am also with rogers canada so i would need advice as to what phones would even be compatible on their network, and obiously be able to sim unlock it.
i look forward to your guys opinion, as im lost on devices outside of canada thanks guys!

The U.S. is 2 years behind. So you are lucky!
You are probably better off getting advice from people in Europe/Asia/Middle East. They get all the good stuff before us is North America.

at&t and T-Mobile are both GSM. You will get EDGE working on both of them but, they use different bands for 3G.

For 3G, at&t and Rogers use the same band, I think 800/850/1900. T-mobile uses a different band, I think 900/1700. Most European/Asian/Middle Eastern countries use 2100. South America and Australia, use a mix of both depending on the operator.

Yeah, definitely SIM unlocked so you can switch between Rogers and at&t.

so i guess im at the point in finding out if att sells anything better than the x10. since i do still enjoy my x10 it would have to be equal or better in specs imo.

You could go into a AT&T store while you are here, and get a free "GO" phone which is a monthly prepaid thing for your stay. And get a Google Voice number before you leave.
Leave the X10 connected and set it to forward the calls to the Google Voice (I don't know if Rogers would charge you for this or you would need a US google number or not) and link the Google Voice to your temporary Go phone. Depending on how much you were willing to pay, you could get a free flip phone or pay for anything up to a blackberry.
You would need access at least once to a PC after getting the phone to reconfigure Google to transfer the calls and SMS the phone with the texted version of any voice message.
Even Walmart has these too: http://www.walmart.com/ip/AT-T-Nokia-C3-Prepaid-GoPhone-Blue/15140306

the HTC desire Z seems like a viable option!

To be honest rogers had the x10 before att got it. They aren't that far behind the north American curve, but if you want a good phone, get a bell desire z. Then unlock it. The bell one has a front facing camera and it'll work on rogers. Plus it has the hard fold out keyboard.

ok well since looking at bell canadas site the z does look tempting, but 499.99? if theres a carrier in florida that sells the same model id bet i could get it there for a little cheaper, anyone agree? or is bell canada the only carrier with the z? or should i also just wait 6 months for all the new fancy droids to hit the markets?

Can the Epic be used in Europe and India?

I plan to sell my Epic to a friend who travels and spends a lot of time in Europe (the UK) and India. I want to make sure I do everything so the phone works in those places outside the US. I have been reading mixed answers about whether the CDMA technology will work in Europe and India. Could someone with experience and knowledge about this topic comment?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

It might work. You'll have to call sprint and ask if they have service there. They'll probably refer you to this other company that sells world phones and ridiculous 2 dollar incoming and 3 dollar outgoing per minute plans. That's what they did for me when I asked about Afghanistan
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

Most other countries use gsm. That's att biggest advantage over any of these other carriers. So slim possibility for cdma depending on where your going.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

I think there is CDMA in India, cuz the old miui dev lives in India and has Airtel and used our epic on that and has since gotten an Evo 3D. IDK about Europe though. If you wanna talk to him, PM ahmgsk

There is plenty of cdma coverage in India. Only Eastern Europe has CDMA. However getting to work is no cakewalk and could permabrick your phone (all sorts of QPST nastiness).
Personally, I would just buy a used Captivate on craigslist for $100, then unlock it yourself and use that with a local carrier. It's less messy (phone wise, GSM only requires you to pop in a sim) and really isn't that much of an expense in the grand scheme of things.

I second this. Also if your friend doesn't need data then find a friend who has a an old tm/att razor they will give him and he is good to go.

Will work in India, not the UK
As noted, there's lots of CDMA in India. I just used my Epic there last month. But the UK is out of the question as there's no CDMA there in the frequency bands that Sprint uses.

All the other options to try and buy GSM phones are not something I can use, as I am trying to sell my friend my phone, an Epic bought and used in the US, so I can move on to another phone and use that money. The question was whether this phone can be used in India and the UK. Some of you said you have used it in India. Did data and everything work? How did you get it to work? I will also pm ahmgsk, the dev in India, but I would appreciate your input, too.

CDMA makes it very difficult and possibly illegal to move phones from carrier to carrier.

Either way it's tedious and requires you have an indepth knowledge of QPST.
The legal way requires the Indian Telco to accept your ESN (which they probably won't).
The only other way is either personally knowing someone who works for the telco to add your phone anyway or cloning which is even more tedious and possibly illegal.
With GSM, buy a sim, pop it in, go on with your life.

Yeah but we need ways to sell this phone.
I'm sure op is down fr some qpst time
There's a thread in here to get it flashed to metro, boost blahblahblah so try that out and instead of using mtro or boost parameters, use the indian telco info

Canadian Note Up for Order

Telus will let you buy it online outright for a whopping $779.
Bell has it at $729 but requiresa $30 mtm contract and $35 setup fee.
Does not seem to be available on Rogers yet.

I'm glad I ordered from Expansys. Almost $100 cheaper and unlocked. I hate these bas****s and am really want to get to the point where I am not locked into them by virtue of the hardware. Rogers is terrible - I have a family plan (four phones on it) so any time we do an HUP, the contract period on ALL the phones gets reset. I have stopped buying locked in phones and am a year away from making them work to keep my business. I regret having left Telus when the iPhone was first released by Rogers in Canada. They had gone out of their way to keep me as a customer - to the point where I had some amazing free customer loyalty freebies. Currently I have nada from Rogers in that regard.

[Q] [Poll] Atrix 4G owner or Atrix International owner?

With the recent ICS Atrix 4G leak (or giveaway) I'm wondering about Atrix International version now. We have been far let down than the USA users since we have never received any subsequent GB updates that US users received. Now that Atrix International users are supporting the update campaign, including me, I wanted to run a poll to see how many of current active Atrix users on XDA are Atrix 4G owners and how many own the international version. I already can guess most active users are from USA but somehow I believe Motorola sold more Atrix outside of USA than inside. Thank you.
Update:
As 'ravilov' member rightly mentioned Atrix 4G was ATT exclusive in US. Since ATT phones are usually branded, especially for an exclusive phone, those bought ATT branded phones from outside of US should still vote the first option. Thank you.

Wow did not think that there would be so littel us people (so far)

i bought atrix in US but use it in India

I bought it outside US...but was from ebay, so it is ATT branded. Anyway, i won't choice either on the poll because my Atrix died last week...was so sad that he was not going to recieve ICS anymore. Poor little guy, betrayed by his own parents.

Thank you for your votes so far. ATT branded phone even was purchased outside of USA can be voted as "Inside" of USA. Even if you no longer own the phone, broken or sold, you can still vote. One goal of the poll is to get a rough idea of total numbers of each.
I'm also surprised ATT users are not voting, I guess the leak ROM is keeping them away from this thread
One question though, is ATT radio compatible with the international Atrix's radio?

It won't work. The bootloader is locked on the ATT version. That means no kernels. The kernel must be digitally signed by AT&T (or Samsung for AT&T) to work. That is why all roms for the AT&T version use the stock AT&T 4.3 kernel. If you want a freely customizable device sell the ATT version and get the Tmobile version. It works on AT&T.
