Hi I was looking for a dual sim phone and I think that currently this is the one to go with. Though I do have some doubts you might be able to help with:
- the frequencies listed for this model are: 900 and 1900, in Argentina I think that we have 850 and 1900 (I intend to use this with Personal and Movistar), will this work? I think that there is another model: p716 that has the correct frequencies, but i wasnt able to find it in ebay (Im traveling to the states, so Im going to buy it there).
- besides my main question, if you have any recommendations about this phone or anything else about dual sims, Ill really appreciate it
Thanks!

Hello all, I am looking at potentially picking up a new Touch Diamond2 for use in the US on AT&T as my Touch Cruise no longer accepts any input (it is visible, but doesn't accept "touch"). So I have a few questions for those in the know:
1. Anyone use the NextG Australian version that supports the 850 3G? If so how was it in on AT&T? I am a little worried about not having the 1900 band, but since there is no way to know where AT&T has 850 versus 1900 I am at a loss.
2. Has anyone who owns this version added any new ROMs from here on the board or are you not able to do so since it has the 850 radio?
3. Anyone have any cool accessories they recommend?
4. Where did you buy yours? I am in the US so I need to have it imported.
Thanks for your input.
Hey, kind of an odd question for these forums, but I am running out of options! I have been searching high and low for a North American version of this phone that operates with the 850/1900 UMTS/HSDPA. Everywhere I find it, it is for Europe/Asia: 900/2100.
Anyone know where I can get the 850 version reasonably priced? The ONLY place I have found it is expansys, and they are very overpriced. Thanks for any help!
HTC Tilt 2 - AT&T
I bought HTC Tilt 2 - AT&T and it has this frecuency.

Hi, all,
I travel between China and US often. I am thinking about buying TMO(US) HD2, since it is a lot cheaper than anywhere else I have seen. Also, It comes with other goodies and full warranty. My concern is that will the phone work in China under 3G? I know there is iPhone in China (China Unicom). I think it operates on AT&T 3G (WCDMA). China Mobile uses TD-SCDMA. 3G on that is out of the question. If I don't get 3G, I guess EDGE is ok, I don't even think I get that speed on China Mobile. Don't really want to put close to $500 for an experiment.
Any answers would be greatly appreciated...

The USA T Mobile radio uses quad band (850/900/1800/1900) for the GSM freq. The 3G freq is 1700/2100.
China GSM uses 900/1800 for GSM and 3G. So, you will get EDGE speed but not 3G.
On a different note, you would be able to get 3G in Korea and Japan because they use 2100. You have to make sure that Auto is selected for you Network Type and Band Freq on the Band page for that to happen.
I'm thinking about getting an HD2 to use here in Japan.
It feels like a gamble. I have a SoftBank X01T and I've been using custom English roms. (I know the AP and password) (The Sim is with SoftBank).
I'm hoping it's possible to just get an HD2, pop the sim card in - set the AP and password as usual and it should be ok?
Any thoughts please.
Plus anything to backup the 3G working in Japan.
Thanks if you can advise.
Hi All
I have recently moved to Canada with my UK HTC HD2.
Since moving here I have changed my phone provider to Fido (Rogers Network). Internet seems extremely slow compared to my UK provider.
Someone told me that because I have a UK phone it is not using the correct bands for HSPA and that's why my internet access is so slow. Internet access is extremely fast on Wi-Fi so I know it's not a problem with the ROM etc.
Can anyone give me any ideas if this sounds correct - do I need to sell my UK HTC HD2 and purchase an American one to get over this problem?
Thanks
I think your friend is correct.
Rogers uses 850Mhz and 1900 Mhz, while in the
United Kingdom the bands used are 800Mhz and 1800Mhz (and some 2100Mhz),
Your UK HD2 is of European configuration, and should be able to cope with the Rogers frequencies. (See)
Your phone uses 900 - 2100 for 3G
Rogers provides it at 850 - 1900 , therefore your phone will slow down to GPRS speeds.
Have you tried flashing a new radio ROM?
If so, perhaps you should try another one.
At least in theory you could keep your phone and have mobile broadband.
What your friend is telling is true for dual band phones, however the HD2 is quad band..... Perhaps contact your provider (sometimes the dataplan has not been correctly activated, therefore access to mobile broadband is denied, and you will revert to the low GSM data band)
Otherwise contact HTC.
PS: Sorry for my ****-up
the t8585 (regular hd2) uses 900 and 2100 for 3g.
source
thats why canadian users with cash to splash go for the australian telstra model which uses 850/2100
You will only get GPRS and edge speeds, and no, the american wont get 3g either.
Yep....
I's official, I am cross-eyed, got the correct info, but wrong interpretation.
I stand corrected.
Thanks to both of you for the response .... I'm a little confused though!
So if I bought a T-Mobile USA model - that wouldn't give me 3G on the Rogers network I'm on? I have to buy an Australian Telstra model to get 3G?
Thanks!
*EDIT* ... Oh I think I get it now... I don't need to have the 850 and 1900 bands to use 3G on the Rogers network so long as I have one or the other - correct me if I am wrong please?
yea thats it, and the US hd2 has 1700/2100 which is why that one doesnt get 3g on rogers.
I get ya! Thanks for that.... so is Canada the only country that uses 1900? I'm asking because I now know that I can buy an Australian phone to suit the 850 but is there another country's phone apart from Canada that will use the 1900 band?
also I noticed something in my phone settings....there's an option to change my base band so I have selected 850/1900 GSM but it doesn't seem to have made a great deal of difference even after a reset
that's gsm, (calls, gprs and edge) nothing to do with the umts bands.
put umts bands into google, theres a Wikipedia page tells you what countries and networks use what bands.
hi. looking to get the D802 unlocked online. but i live in Japan and am wodering if it will work here. they have the G2 available too but the problem is with rooting/roming Japanese phones. quite difficult and not much resources available.
the bands for the device are listed as:
UMTS 850/900/1900/2100
LTE 800/900/1800/2100/2600
the bands used for my carrier in Japan are:
UMTS 800/2100
LTE 700/800/1500/1800/2100(main)
so from my limited understanding the D802 should work. please any of you with understanding of all this please advise.
also, what are all your thoughts of this device stand-alone as well as rooted/romed? how easy is it to root/unroot? how is rom availability? how is it compared to Nexus 5 (much easier to get a hold of here) anything else you could tell me.
much appreciated
PS by the way currently i have iphone 5 but am tired iOS/apple and want to switch to android.
4G shouldn't be an issue.. 3G will..for calls.. Does your carrier have any 2G or Japan has gone over that stage??
Sent from my LG-D802 using xda app-developers app
don't know about 2g. why will 3g be a problem?
As far as I know the 2100 mHz band is fast, but it has small range. That's the problem
right. and from what i've read on the internet about docomo (my provider) the 800 band is to extend coverages in rural areas. primarily where i live/commute/work. think i'll just go with L-01F (JP) model. hopefully there are still lots of resources that will work for that model too. and already found a root for it on here.
