I have noticed something on both the the Touch Pro and now the Touch Pro 2. The forums seem to be around the GSM phones and not the CDMA except one forum.
But I really think we need a Development ROM forum for the cdma also.
Just my IMO.

hello all,
i am about to buy an htc touch pro from ebay but that "sprint" word is confusing me. even i have been looking for it on internet and xda-developers site couldnt find information. As i am in ukraine, will it be a problem using it here? or it is just smt like a gsm service and i will not be able to use the service here?
You are not searching hard enough. Any search engine with the title "sprint touch pro" will give you the top returns of a US CDMA carrier called Sprint having released it's version of the Touch Pro.
NOT GSM as you are looking for. The same confusion exists on this forum where the name Raphael/Touch pro has become quite generalised and convoluted as it may cover either the GSM or CDMA version.

Exactly. Sprint decided to keep the Touch Pro name, and they are a US CDMA carrier and it WILL NOT work on GSM networks.
You want an HTC branded GSM Touch Pro.
i see. thanks for help. seems like i need to wait a bit more to buy.
Sprint is a phone company here in the U.S.
Google.com is your friend.

I've seen some pretty worthless threads in my lifetime but this one might top them all.
Congratulations!
friends,
its a tough question for all indian owners of touch pro/ Raphael. i am using this forum to address their worries and problems.
almost all the indian owners brought this super high gadget thinking that they are future proof as 3g was not started yet in India in 2008.
now the leading telecom provider of India started 3g 3 days ago and to their surprise, the touch pro could not find 3g.
when they saw their boxes , it was not mentioned either and repeated telephone to HTC ppl made it clear that their touch pro / diamonds are only 2g. ( EDGE supported)
now what is the benefit of having a device which costed more than 500 $ and not having HSDPA.
moreover no forum showed that touch pro can be a 2g model ( checked GSMARENA and pdadb.net my self)
i seriously request all the senior members of the forum to please resolve this issue as my question is
1 is it a hardware limitation ie the 3g radio part is missing ?
2 is there a software to check HSDPA hardware is in the device ?
3 can using different radio solve this issue
hope that u ppl will support their indian counterparts .
regards
ankjain

hey all,
im new to this site and thought id say hi to everyone and a question
i got me self a HTC touch pro (on voda) in sept 08. since i got it i been tryin to tweak it and play with it, like i do with every peice of hardware i get, mainly computer parts.
i been lookin at winmo 6.5 roms and they say CDMA or GSM rom only. does anyone no the difference, cos i thought CDMA was another anacranim (i no i cant spell) for 3G/HSDPA.
Hi & welcome to the forum!
CDMA is 3g with carriers Sprint & Verizon in the USA. Your TP should be GSM & 3g with Vodaphone, so the 6.5 roms should be for GSM.
ahh rite thanx for the info!
is there any little things that i need to know if im gonna be playin with roms and possibly gonna kill me fone
Welcome to forums
Have a deep read on your device specific Wiki section:

Good luck and enjoy!
I'm almost certain that I know the answer to my question. I have tried finding xda development on ROM's for numerous phones using the CDMA technology and find they are almost non-existent. I assume this is primarily due to the market share that GSM phones has...one internet post put it @ 70%. Is this theory plausible?
Probably, considering there are a lot more development going on GSM phones as opposed to CDMA. That doesn't mean CDMA development is non existent, specifically the Sprint HTC EVO, EVO 3D, E4GT, etc.
Non-Existent was too general, I should've mentioned my CDMA carriers and....
...specifically US Cellular and Verizon. I was looking at their various Samsung offerings. What can I say about that, <g>. They are the 2 major carriers where I "play." I am currently on i Wireless, a subsidiary of T-Mobile, which of course is GSM, and I have found lots of development for my Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant. I am considering switching to a 4G phone and one of those carriers which have signals where I play, as my carrier doesn't and probably never will. I have thoroughly enjoyed the after marker ROM's here and many know how "bad" Samsung is about firmware upgrades. I guess choices one way or the other need to be made.
Hi All,
Pardon if this has already been asked but I cannot find a similar topic specific to the question below. There is a lot of development around this phone and I would like to get back onto a phone similar to this.
Can any Oneplus 7 Pro phone be used on the Sprint network or is there a specific submodel that needs to be purchased?
There does not appear to be this phone or the 5g version being sold anywhere I look (GM1917 and GM1925). I am specifically looking for a phone that has 8+ GB of ram, 8xx snapdragon chipset (66x+ chpset) and decent custom roms available. There appears to be the T-Mobile Mclaren edition (HD1925) but again, this phone is a different model and is technically a different subforum. Either way, the question above is the simple question I am looking to be answered.
Thanks all for the support!
The Sprint version would probably be best.

Thank you for the reply. The issue is (and why I am posting about it) is that I cannot find the sprint specific phones online. Calling up the local Sprint store, they say have one in stock. I have the S10 and have little motivation to dump more money in a new phone. I was wondering if a generic unlocked phone can work. It does not appear that many people have the answer though.
