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.

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.
Good day to you all,
I would like to know if there's any way at all that a T-Mobile G1 can access the Rogers 3G network. Radio update, etc?
I have posted this question in the Dream and Dream Q&A section with no responses. I'm sure this isn't specifically a development question, but you guys might know the answer.
Thanks!
no it is a hardware not a software limitation sorry
Not what I wanted to hear, but it makes sense.
So on the Rogers network, I'll be stuck with the EDGE data?

The radio in the phone dictates the frequency, not the SIM right?

yes but the normal g1 can not utilise these frequencies unless it falls between a specific range which the rogers 3g network does not. However the t-mobile ones do
correct - its a frequency thing, which is dictated by the radio hardware, not the sim or a software setting.

So the T-Mobile G1 is able to use the Rogers 3G network, but only if it has a T-Mobile SIM?
Am I understanding this correctly?

nope it is only able to use a t-mobile 3g network with a tmobile sim. I meant you should buy a t-mobile sim for use with the t-mobile network if you really needed it.

Rogers definitely supports full 3G, it's 3.5G (HSDPA) as a matter of fact.
The G1 runs on a different frequency and can't access the Rogers 3G, only EDGE data network.
The point of this thread was to see if the G1 radio was capable of using the Rogers frequencies... Guess not...
Doesnt rogers carry the dream? Why get a Tmobile G1 when the Rogers Dream is the same phone except it uses the correct frequencies for 3G?

I bought a 'bricked' G1 on eBay for $40. I fixed it in a matter of minutes. I figured it was a hell of a deal, but I didn't think about the fact that I would be missing 3G here in Canada.
I already own the HTC Magic 32A (Rogers), this G1 is just to play around with.
No idea why anyone brought up SIM cards or whatever. That's utterly irrelevant, and only served to confuse people. Thanks.
The radio in the TMO G1 only supports UMTS Band I (2100) and Band IV (AWS). The Rogers G1 supports Band II (1900).
My recommendation is to resell that fixed G1, and find yourself a Rogers Dream.
You can convert your HTC Dream to 3G in Canada by replacing the antenna. Here's a link to a (probably) T-Mobile antenna as an example. But if you can find one for Canadian frequencies... Good luck!
Ive had the g1 before the dream came out , if I were to get a dream do I root the same way with the downgrade then flash new Rom , I m running hero Rom right now on my g1 .

Umm, yeah, they are for T-Mobile. There is a T-Mobile Rhodium and there will soon be a T-Mobile Leo.

Scheduled to arrive in the states for T-mobile in the 1st Quarter..
T-Mobile exclusively uses the AWS 1700/2100 MHz frequency-band, making it incompatible with other existing 3G UMTS/HSPA networks already established in the United States...
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.
