Hi,
I plan a business trip at the end of this month in the US. Ive currently an HTC P3600 but i would like to buy an HTC Touch. (I prefer the iphone but it lacks business application like Exchange synchronisation).
As i'm in the US, i would like to take advantages of the $/Euro convertion and get direct 40% off my phone.
Question: US Mobile Network and European Mobile Network are not compatible. The US version of the HTC touch is capable of both mode ?
Do you recommend the HTC TOuch or any other ?
Thanks
Ced

What he said, get a GSM phone. Even if it is locked to a carrier you can get it unlocked.
Does anyone know if the hardware design of the Touch Diamond is that different from the Touch Pro so as to preclude USA 3G? The new Touch Diamond Americas offers the full quad band plus USA 3G and (I think) the European TD ROM has been modified to make US 3G work on it. How come our Touch Pro is still incapable of US 3G? ....is it a hardware limitation after all?
Would it be possible to flash the ATT Radio for the fuze on an HTC Touch Pro?
As long as you have hardspl, flashing a Fuze ROM on a Touch Pro one shouldn't be a problem.
So then I would be able to get north american 3g on an HTC touch pro?
Edit sorry, I meant the radio not that crappy ATT branded stuff.

No you will not. The Touch pro doesn't have UMTS 850 and 1900, which are the bands AT&T uses for 3G. There is a thread about this already.
Mods please move this to the appropiate thread or close?
I got that much, but I still think they might be hidden in there, somewhere.
As you wish.
Hello,
I've been seeing in the flee market lots of HTC touch pro (not fuze) that claim to work with North American 3G networks. Are they not telling the truth? I thought that HTC touch pro does not do 3G networks in North America? Or is there another version of the phone that works? I'm talking about HTC touch pro and not the fuze or any other version of the phone.
Thank you.
Allegedly, there are Touch Pros made for the American market.
A websearch will reveal the specs - then all you have to do is lite up the phone and compare to see if it will work in US.
since there is no way of trying the phone since I want to buy it online, is there another way of telling if the phone works on north American 3G network or do I have to take the words of the seller?
Thank you

Ask them for the phone's Model ID. RAPH100, RAPH110, etc.
Once you have the Model ID, you can verify if it supports US 3G.

oh ok thank you
However which model supports US or Canadian 3G? I looked at the Raph_Specs in the wiki and I only found specs for Raphael 800 and Raphael 100; not 100/110. Plus I thought that the HTC Touch Pro has only two versions: the Raphael 100, which is GSM, and the Raphael 800, which is CDMA
Thank you again

The Fuze is RAPH110. Once you find out the Model ID, post it here and I'm sure someone can tell you for sure.
RAPH 110 is the fuze i believe
ok so in conclusion, there is no US or Canadian 3G unless its a fuze... Those that claim to have a touch pro that works on North American Network are scammers. and I'm only talking about the HTC touch pro that has only the HTC logo and no carrier logo. Correct???

A US 3G-compatible Touch Pro may exist. Once you know the Model ID, post it here, and someone should be able to confirm if it will work.
Touch pro
People there is no us 3g version of the Unbranded Touch pro Yet point Blank And FYI The Fuse And Unbranded Touch pro Are the Same phone Just Fuse has no Front Camera And Soft Touch Back other then that The Fuse is the Touch pro Same Speeds And Specs If you Flash the Oem Touch pro unbranded Rom to the Fuse And unlock the Sub Sid Bam there you Go Plus Fuse is Better We have Us 3g and World Wide Hsdpa Hell if i want a Front Camera I will pull out My TyTN II ....Lol
There is the the Diamond Touch (not the Pro) that is compatible with North American 3G. I saw it on www.mobileplanet.com I called HTC direct and confirmed that there is not a North American version of the Touch Pro Other than the Fuze. The will tell you that the Euro Touch Pro has the GSM support but not the 3G.

How about the HTC Touch 3g T3232? I just bought one and i'm having problems accessing the internet through AT&T...
Hi,
I'm planning to buy a HTC Touch Pro off Ebay but they say Sprint. I'm in Australia, if I flash the rom will it be able to work still?
Thanks.

does your current phone provider use CDMA or GSM
the phone you are looking at is CDMA... if your phone provider is GSM, then NO... if your phone provider is CDMA, do they allow activating ESNs from foreign phones?
My provider is GSM.
If I flash the phone to a new rom, will it work then?
Thanks.
no... the phone is CDMA, but you are using GSM
AFAIK, there is no way of changing a CDMA phone into a GSM phone (someone correct me if i'm wrong)
You are correct to say that there is no way to convert between CDMA and GSM. The underlying technologies are different on a hardware level.
