Below spec cut and paste from HTC website. Is that consider a CDMA model?
Network HSPA/WCDMA:
*
Europe/Asia: 900/2100 MHz
*
Up to 2 Mbps up-link and 7.2 Mbps down-link speeds
Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE:
*
Europe/Asia: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
(Band frequency, HSPA availability, and data speed are operator dependent.)
No, that's the GSM-only version.
depends on your carrier... if you are Sprint, Telus, or Verizon its CDMA. Otherwise its GSM
Thanks for the reply. I am from Singapore BTW.
Subabia,
You definately have a GSM not CDMA.
WCDMA is not the same thing as CDMA. WCDMA is synonymous with UMTS which is 3G for GSM networks.

is the touch pro 2 triband cdma or just dual band cdma?
thanks in advance.
It's dual band CDMA, 850/1900mhz.
From Sprint's CDMA TP2:
Right from HTC's specs page:
CDMA: Dual-band 800/1900MHz
And implied twice in the manual:
Your device works anywhere on ... 1900 and 800 MHz digital networks ... (p5)
This handset complies with the FCC’s requirements ... when using the CDMA air interface at both the PCS (1900 MHz) and Cellular (800 MHz) frequency bands. (p214)
From Verizon's CMDA TP2 manual:
CDMA network:
Dual-band 800/1900 MHz (p149)
hi i'm uk based and on o2 network.
i read o2 uses bandwith
900 MHz GSM/GPRS/EDGE
1,800 MHz GSM/GPRS/EDGE
900 MHz UMTS/HSDPA/HSPA+
2,100 MHz UMTS/HSDPA/HSPA+
phone i have just now most of time i see "H" sign and internet speed is fine.
new phone i look to buy is from china (jiayu g3 or g4) and works on
g3:
Network Band: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz & WCDMA 850/2100MHz
Data Technology: GPRS, EDGE, HSDPA, HSPA+, 3G
g4:
Band 2G: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz
3G: WCDMA 2100MHz
will it be on "H" here in the uk if i use o2 network?
i dont want to buy this phone and then is slow speeds 2g and 3g
Hi guys,
I'm hoping someone can give me a for sure answer on this. I have a company we met at CES offering me some chinese cell phones. Basically they are an S4 knock off. I have definitely decided against selling these, but since I have a really old phone... I'm thinking about buying one for myself to play with.
I am currently on the t-Mobile network. Here is what their website says about "bands"
T-Mobile's UMTS network operates in Band IV, which uses 1700 MHz and 2100 MHz frequencies. Specifically, T-Mobile uses the 1700 MHz frequency to send information to cell sites and then uses the 2100 MHz frequency to receive information. A device must be able to use both frequencies to use T-Mobile's domestic UMTS network.
Most international UMTS networks operate in Band I, which uses the 2100 MHz frequency.

and here is the information about the phone:
MS mode: WCDMA/GSM
Frquency band: WCDMA 2100/850 (HSDPA) and GSM 850/900/1800/1900
Wireless transmission: 3G, WIFI 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.0, EDGE, HSDPA, HSUPA,

Everything sounds like it should work, but the concern is the 850/2100 on WCDMA. T-Mobile claims it uses 1700/2100.
For comparison, here is the t-Mobile Nexus 4
GSM:850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz
UMTS: 850, 900, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz
Data:HSDPA+ (4G) 42.2 Mbit/s, HSUPA 5.76 Mbit/s, UMTS, EDGE, GPRS

I do understand that the chinese phone is only 3G, and the Nexus I compare to is 4G.
According to what I just read on another tmousa page (which agrees with your quote) their data (3g, 4g, and lte) all work on 1700/2100 as of this date of posting.
From your quote about your phone, it operates on gsm 1800/1900. That does not match with tmo.
I know you probably already figured this out, but I am searching on same subject, so others will follow.
Blessings!
I'm not into wireless technology, but my g2x would have signal with a:
1.german sim card in Germany
2.swedish sim card in Sweden
3.english sim card in UK
but it didn't work with a bulgarian sim card in Bulgaria. And by looking at the frequencies supported, I am confused. Can someone explain it to me?
G2X:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 1700 / 2100
BG operators:
1 Mtel GSM-900/1800 (GPRS, EDGE)
2100 MHz UMTS, HSDPA, HSPA+
LTE 5.4 [22] (May 2013)
2 GLOBUL GSM-900/1800 (GPRS, EDGE)
2100 MHz UMTS, HSDPA, HSUPA
3 VIVACOM
(Formerly vivatel) GSM-900/1800 (GPRS, EDGE)
2100 MHz UMTS, HSDPA, HSPA+

i'm interested in buying the nokia 515 3.5g. it's made for europe i think.
it supports these network bands.
Cellular connectivity
GSM network: 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz
GSM max data speed DL: EGPRS 236.8 kbps
GSM max data speed UL: EGPRS 236.8 kbps
WCDMA network: Band 1 (2100 MHz), Band 8 (900 MHz)
WCDMA max data speed DL: 7.2 Mbps (Cat 8)
WCDMA max data speed UL: 5.76 Mbps (Cat 6)
what US carrier could i get 3g service from? i know i can get 2g on tmobile/att, but would either support 3g on this phone?

1900 MHz would get you 3G on T-Mobile and At&t
