Picked up the O2 Graphite from Thailand over the weekend. Would it be possible to create a new forum for the phone ? Will post a little mini review of the phone
O2 graphite is an Asus.. we have great discrimination on non-HTC devices or else, the site may have been flooded with devices from HP, Asus, Treo.. although we have an exception of the Atom.
BTW I think there are folks who are looking at P525 cooked ROMs, etc on the forums. Not a problem. Just wanted to inform people about the new smartphone phone - its pretty a solid offering and beats the Breeze - but like most Windows devices, its not without it own oddities. Thanks
Someone knows if the 3G function will work in Israel (Orange Network)?
I think the Graphite is working on 2100 mHz, right? Whats it in Israel?
Orange Israel rep. told me they don't hand 3g sim cards to be installed in phones they do not market. You don't actually have to buy the phone from them it just has to be a model they work with. And since they don't sell any windows mobile smartphones they wouldn't give me a 3g sim card :-(

Hi all,
Do you have some info as regards the availability of an XDA (all kind of model - Magician etc.) that would be compatible with the last generation of mobile network (UMTS - a.k.a. 3G)?
Thanks.

there is a bastart HTC blue angle flavour which have replaced wifi with
UTMS
but i doubt that it support stuff like video phoning
partly because ms dont have any software to handle it right now
and also because the cam is on the other side of the device
and htc seem to be working on a true 3g ms pda phone aswell

I do hope this comes out in the UK. Then I can sell my XDA II on ebay for lots of money, buy this new handset and stick a 3 uSIM in it (on a nice cheap 3 staff tarriff... )
are 3 really that cheap ?
here they have free normal gsm calls between 3 users but other then that they are nowhere near as cheap as the cheap ones
I travel between the UK and US regularly. Is there a Windows 5.0 device that has high speed data in both the US and UK. I don't mind having two accounts US and UK and switching sim cards. It seems to me that its either one or the other. 3G or evdo/edge ?? Maybe I am missing something. Thanks in advance.

hmmm then u go for a xda atom , it got edge as all know that also after 2-3 rom upgrades its problems r solved now so go for it
US/UK device advice
When I was back in the US last year, I found that many places had very bad coverage using only a triband phone. To ensure the best coverage and the possibility of EDGE, I went with the Dopod 818 Pro. It also didn't hurt that I could get a 2GB SD card and 2 screen protectors for less than the price of the Atom.
Cheers,

Hi all,
Can anyone confirm that the Kaiser can fully utilize 3g data on the TMobile US 3g network? I have seen several (old) articles that pre-date the release of the Kaiser saying it may be the 'first 3g windows mobile phone available'. I have the opportunity to get an AT&T tilt from someone I know, but before I go through the process of unlocking the sim and flashing the ROM I'd like to know if it is worth my while. I've been waiting for the pharos traveler 137 to be released for a few months now but I know that Tmobile has no interest in carrying it ( I talked to a few service reps, and they just play dumb and say they've never heard of pharos or a 3g capable WM phone). So without the plan upgrade discount the phone is going to be $600, all for the luxury of using the 3g network on a phone that actually supports msexchange email.
between aardvark ( company developing ms direct push app for android), the pharos smartphone, and getting info on this TyTn II i feel like I've been doing a whole lot of waiting for a phone that has what I feel are two very basic features nowadays on other networks
Comments appreciated,

Works Good Dude!! i'm in CT, in USA and have used a kaiser with my tmobile sim, works faster
unfortunately, you get Edge only. Few PPC's have tmob 3G off the wall 1700/2100 mhz radio combo. The G1 has it, and maybe a few other New PPC's.
Hello xda-users:
I'm going to japan for vacations and I'm thinking to buy a phone there, I read that you need to buy the phone with a contract ? and the phone might not work overseas.
Also I heard that the phones are really expensive.
Any help in this matter wil be appreciatte
I´ve just heard that the phones will not work outside of japan as they use a different signal frequency...
Softbank or NTT Docomo just announced a bunch of new phones, which include the Toshiba TG-01 and the HTC favorites. The only problem being that you need a gaijin card to get them and some other requirements (a contract too). You'll probably know more once you get there.
You can rent a phone and they do use 2100 Mhz UMTS/HSDPA, but I don't know if an unlocked non-JP phone will work there with a rental phone's SIM.
I live in Australia and I'm thinking about buying a Touch Pro from USA since it seems cheaper. I was wondering is there anything I have to look out for that might stop it form working here. Eg. Network issues.
I'm thinking about this one
Hi,
The phone in the link operates on the CDMA network, you'll want the GSM version (the one that uses a simcard). It is also network locked and will need to be hacked/unlocked.
Very cheap though...
Thanks
Some of them say A & T service required for some of the features. What does that mean?
you don't really need to "hack" it. just get someone to create your unlock code for you. you can get it here on xda or even ebay. I believe olinex can provide you the unlock code for a price. I can gaurantee that these guys here at xda are very helpful so dont' worry about that too much.
you should think about what band your provider in aus is using.
Good luck!
EDIT: those "features" are ATT specific and you can make those disappear. check the links on "unbloating" your phone. It's pretty annoying but it does not do anything for your phone if you don't use ATT's network. Check out the thread on flashing for beginners. Read it carefully and if you have questions, be very specific.
Thanks for the help. I been using a jasjam (hermes) with a flashed rom but the hermes is in bad condition so thinking about getting a new phone.
Dood, I'm in Aus and also upgraded to Touch Pro from JasJam.
A warning. You will not get Telstra NextG video calls. The touch pro does not operate on Telstra's band. Just in case you were/are a Telstra man...
Also, you should be able to ebay a cheap as new unit in Australia... I've seen many go for under $300.
A brand new phone for less that $300???
What are you searching "HTC touch pro"?
Touch Pro or Fuze in Australia?
Mate, check the 3G/UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA frequencies used by your provider!!!
The TP AND the Fuze will work AS PHONE in almost any GSM network (beside some Asian countries i.e. Japan) since they are 4 band GSM devices. However, using the benefits of high speed data aka 3G you have to check which band your provider is using. AFAIK Telstra is using 850/1900 which matches the ATT US network while t-mobile and the std. TP use 900/2100. IF you are with Telstra get a Fuze and it will work. People here in the US buy the HD (not offered here in the US by ATT) in Australia to operate it in the US network.
Good luck and don't get screwed.
