According to this (http://www.phonemag.com/htc-touch-diamond-and-touch-pro-release-dates-pricing-084482.php), the HTC Pro will probably be coming to Sprint before AT&T releases the Fuze. So, if I bought the Sprint version of the phone without a contract will it work with AT&T?? Im on AT&T right now and im not changing carriers just to have this phone earlier than the Fuze.
Thanks...
No, it will not. Sprint uses CDMA technology while ATT uses GSM technology.

I am only asking cause i don't see any of the new phones hitting at&t as in not UMTS 850 or UMTS 1900. look on pdadb.net it will list all of the new phones coming out not one from htc supports either one of those bands.... am i going to have to switch over to a steve blow jobs phone. Please someone tell me something i don't know.
They never support it on international versions. They always have a separate US version (when they don't skip the US market entirely, like the Touch HD) with those bands supported.
The Touch Pro 2 and Touch Diamond 2 are coming out in the US, and the TP2 is already confirmed as being on T-Mobile, so let's hope it gets announced for AT&T as well, or at least shows up on T-Mobile unlocked.

they supported it on the htc x7500 and the 8125, 8525, 8925, fuze but no more. i think at&t got a big head with the Iphone and doesn't want to deal with htc so htc said fu*k at&t and thus no longer support UMTS850, UMTS1900
Well I'm looking forward to HTC sending some ppc's to T-Mobile, since it's been a very very long 3G wait!

They still support it, as I said. It's just a matter of "international version" vs "US version."
It's likely to protect T-Mobile, AT&T, and whichever Canadian providers use GSM, so less people will import the unbranded international version before they have a chance to release their branded versions.
Since carrier locking can easily be circumvented legally, the only real way to block imports is to not support 3g frequencies in the US. Most people aren't willing to pay $800 for a phone that doesn't support 3g in a lot of places (like the Xperia X1i, which only connects in 3g in about 2/3 of AT&T's coverage area and none of T-Mobile's), or no places (like current HTC phones, which are 2100MHz only).
I'm assuming the unlocked hd2 doesn't work on Verizon, correct? The phone is only capable of broadcasting on GSM?

You answer your own question...Verizon is CDMA like SPrint...HD2 is GSM only so put 2 n 2 together.
Yep GSM / Edge only, no 3G or cdma.
Damn, that means I'd have to switch to crappy AT$T. Oh Well...

You would be much better off with tmobile prices, service, etc.! Unless you want an iphonie
Verizon wants to control everything. If you want flexibility, don't buy Verizon. They will never sell anything unlocked. If they did you might be able to use the phone on Sprint or Cricket.
Verizon could offer phones with a SIM like card. The technology exists for SIM type cards which would work with CDMA phones.
However, CDMA sucks royally. Using 3G,the CDMA phones seem to drain batteries much faster than their GSM counterparts.
Verizon has such great and reliable voice and data but their data seems to have more latency and run much slower in tests.
Also, with most CDMA products, you cannot talk and surf the web at the same time.
The bottom line is that CDMA technology sucks. Go GSM.
We apologize if my question seems funny or crazy.
Can HTC TP2 (except sprint. Verizon, t-mobile) can be made into CDMA mode like TP2 Sprint/verizon
Clarify your question man, you have a TP2 from somewhere in Asia, and you want to try to use it where? is is CDMA/GSM or what?

i have TP2 from singapore, and i want to try with CDMA mode? (like TP2 Sprint)
Even if the Singapore TP2 is CDMA, good luck trying to get Sprint to activate it!

No. The hardware is not there. You cannot get a GSM/WCDMA only TP2 running on a classic CDMA network.
is it possible to flash a gms tmobile branded touch pro 2 to be used for Sprint
no,
Tmobile is GSM
Sprint is CDMA
Tmo tp2s do not have the hardware to recieve the cdma waves.
plus, sprint will never allow the esn on their network.

The phone is only $99 on Verizon. I heard you needed to use the phone for 6 months before you can use it on another carrier
Anyway to get around this or has anyone actually done this yet? Want to make sure it works.
And are you still getting Verizon coverage on Straight Talk or how does that work?
Is there a 16gb CDMA version as well? Only saw an 8gb.

I think that Straight Talk is a GSM network so you would have to have the GSM model of the phone. I was under the impression that Straight Talk uses the T-Mobile network. Someone correct me if I'm wrong please.

They have a CDMA card you can buy and register your phone on their network. I think it's kind of new. I'd link you but I'm on mobile

Straight talk uses Sprint and Verizon CDMA networks as well as T-mobile and AT&T GSM networks...
I'm really not sure how the BYOD on CDMA works, I would like more info as well.

Straight Talk (Verizon Wireless - CDMA) will require an access code to their network; $15.00. This applies to phones that do not have a SIM Card which the $99 8GB Motorola Moto G CDMA variant is. However, I did put the MEID for the device as to its compatibility on Straight Talk and was told it is not which makes no sense given if you have a GSM variant, it does not require a subsidy unlock code if the device is set up with either the AT&T and/or T-Mobile radios. I have to believe that the reason has to do with those stupid clauses which carriers have with their phones and however long they are. It's always been my understanding the code is what you need to run on their network. One caveat; I have noticed that on Verizon Wireless's prepaid "Everything" plan, the devices run only on their 3G network nor am I aware they have the 4G LTE radios in them. I've tested their 3G band and at best regardless of where I have tested it between Albany, GA; Columbus, GA; Auburn-Opelika, AL; the best speed I have had is tops 1.0 meg down but normally about 0.7 megs (700 k) down...enough to run Pandora or any music app. I will say one thing about the phone, for the price, not bad! I wish it was available when I bought an HTC One M7 I paid $650.00 for but I got the DE 64GB variant; this device, you do feel the 8GB restriction though there are many cloud options.
