I heard that 3g does not work in the USA with the hero. But when i look at the specs for the phone(below) its like the exact same as the g1 (besides added 900 for hspa). So does 3g work in usa?
Network HSPA/WCDMA:
*
900/2100 MHz
*
Up to 2 Mbps up-link and 7.2 Mbps down-link speeds
Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE:
*
850/900/1800/1900 MHz
(Band frequency and data speed are operator dependent.)
Check the official stats for the European version:
http://www.htc.com/www/product/hero/specification.html
HSPA/WCDMA:
•900/2100 MHz
T-Mobile uses 1700Mhz, so that won't work. AT&T uses 850Mhz and 1900Mhz so that won't work.
The 850/900/1800/1900 MHz bands mentioned are for GSM. So Yeah GPRS/Edge will work.
I apologize if this was already discussed, but did anyone notice the difference in 3G bands between US spec HD2 and Nexus One.
Here are official specs from HTC.
HD2 - WCDMA/HSPA: 1700 MHz (AWS) / 2100 MHz
Nexus One - HSDPA/WCDMA: 900/AWS/2100 MHz
I've read here claims that US T-Mobile splits the uplink(1700)/downlink(2100). How does that fit into this difference in specs, both devices are released on T-Mobile.
Thanks

The answer is right in your post. 1700mhz = AWS.
So 900/AWS/2100 = 900/1700/2100
The tmobileUSA HD2 is dual-band UMTS while the Nexus is tri-band UMTS.
Thanks
That clears it up then.
Thanks
Hey,
I like the Desire Z, I use rogers is this going to be possible?
I currently run t-mobile touch pro2, but in my city they are just upgrading to 3g unlike bigger cities liek Toronto already have it.
# GSM/GPRS/EDGE on the 850 and 1900 MHz bands (Also known as 2G GSM, or 2.5G in the case of EDGE)
# UMTS/HSPA on the 850 and 1900 MHz bands (Also known as 3G GSM)

According to this article...
Bell is going to launch the Desire Z it will have the bands you need for 100% 3G compatibility, since I'm on ATT here in the US, I might have to pick one up too.
Thanks,
that's definetely what I was after... i get confused sometimes...
cheers
Hi,
Does the Asian/Indian HD2 get 3G service on TMobile US or ATT bands?? I have an HD2 from India, and I've tried different radios but I can't seem to get 3G on Tmobile. One of my friends said that I should get 3g with Tmobile US because they support the 1800/1900 bands. No clue waht that means.
Please shed some light
Thanks!
In different parts of the world there are used different radio frequencies for cellular phone networks.
Mostly used frequencies:
Europe :
HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
Asia Pacific:
HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
USA:
WCDMA/HSPA: 1700 MHz (AWS) / 2100 MHz
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
Which frequencies are available depends on your selected carrier or provider, the used technique in the area and so on.
Maybe you will have a look on the coverage map of T-Mobile: http://www.t-mobile.com/coverage/pcc.aspx
If you want to read more about 3G, look here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3G), or for cellular frequencies here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_frequencies).
Additional:
HTC provides different HD2 models: T8585 for Europe, T9193 for Asia Pacific and the T-Mobile US version.
The difference between T8585 and T9193 is the optimized radio chipset due to the region.
your model HD2 does not have radio hardware to support 3G connection to T-Mobile ATT US ...
Hi guys! Thought I would put this here since I saw from the past few weeks about some people having signal issues with the HTC One.
Unfortunately HTC updated their HTC One page with the new frequency bands list.
2G/2.5G - GSM/GPRS/EDGE:
850/900/1800/1900 MHz
3G - UMTS/ HSPA:
Europe/ Middle East/ Africa: : 900/1900/2100 MHz with HSDPA up to 42 Mbps
Asia: 850/900/1900/2100 MHz with HSDPA up to 42 Mbps
Canada/ Latin America: 850/1900/2100 MHz up to HSDPA 42 Mbps
T-Mobile (US): 850/ AWS/1900/2100 MHz with HSDPA up to 42 Mbps
AT&T: 850/1900/2100 MHz with HSDPA up to 21 Mbps
Sprint: 1900/2100 MHz with HSDPA up to 14.4 Mbps
3G - CDMA:
800/1900 MHz for Sprint
4G - LTE:
Europe/ Middle East/ Africa: 800/1800/2600 MHz
Asia: 1800/2600 MHz
T-Mobile (US)/ AT&T/ Canada/ Latin America: 700 MHz and AWS band
Sprint: 1900 MHz

To the australian people who preordered their phones from EU. It is indeed official now that 850mhz is not supported.
*Australian on the 850MHz carrier here*
On one hand, I'm glad HTC acknowledged this and I've have been put out of my misery. On the other, I want to do a facepalm at HTC.
I understand how 850MHz testing of the European model could have been deprioritised. And I still believe HTC should be supported for coming out with a great phone at a time of trouble (possibly as many articles on their profit report as phone reviews!), but boy are they making it hard for themselves. They are not a new company. What's different about this phone vs the other internationally available in different variants phones they've released?
I have a quiet chuckle every so often about the saga of getting this phone. Excitement, delay, delay, worry about 850MHz support, dispatch!, oh what it won't work?!?, return, wait for local launch, to be continued...
You wouldn't happen to know what type of NFC it has?
Looked at GSM arena, no where does it go in to any depth on the NFC...
Cheers,

I'm in the same position here, buggered cos i was so excited. Plus only being able to realise this in the last day or so, now i'm probably now at the end of a very long wait list on the Harvey Norman preorders.
The HTC Unlocked from the US site has the following information:
This HTC One® unlocked version comes with: 32GB of onboard memory and is SIM unlocked.
- HSPA/WCDMA: 850/1900/2100 MHz
- GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
- LTE: 700/850/AWS/1900 MHz (US)

From my understanding this works in Europe too, except for the LTE?
Frequencies:
900 / 1800 MHz GSM, GPRS, EDGE
2100 MHz UMTS, HSDPA, HSPA+, DC-HSPA+
900 / 1800 MHz LTE
As I pretty don't much care about 4G/LTE the US unlocked will work otherwise without any problems, right?
Yes you are correct!
Other thank the UK variant not having 850mhz HSDPA frequency all bands from 2g to HSPA should be compatible worldwide.

It has the NXP PN544 chip with its usual level of support it seems. Unlike the S4, it should therefore support Mifare tags without issues.
