HTC Aria in Europe? - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
google led me here and i saw that questions like this were answered pretty well here, so ill try my luck.
i found the htc aria on the HTC US website and i like it pretty much. its just like an HTC hd mini with android.
i doubt it will come out in europe since we have the hd mini and wildfire here.
unfortunately the aria is AT&T exclusive.
i found out that you can buy the phone at retail price in the US and unlock it.
so im wondering if it would be working here in europe (germany).
will i have the full functionality in europe?
will i get updates such as android 2.2?
will the branding of the phone restrict anything?
ps: i know the phone is pretty new but i hope there might be someone who can help

I`m also searching for new phone and fell in love with the Aria in a video review I found in youtube. So would this phone be operational in EU or will there be something similar for EU rolling out from HTC soon?

I don't believe it has been rooted yet. How do you like the XT? Did you own the original cliq?
I like the orig Cliq. The Blur can be laggy at times...other Reps on my team are having major FC's with their Cliqs and reluctant on selling the XT, lol! (just got off a conf. call)
None of them are aware or no how to 'root', so i have an advantage. I should have the HD2 next month.............
You sound like your in the know. Any word on when we will finally get 3G in Springfield MO?

Since you are part of t-mobile USA
will we get a decent android phone like maybe the HTC DESIRE?
I'm tired of moto selling their motoblur devices running android 1.5, have low specs, and just downright old and outdated.
I'm guessing my october if they aren't any good android devices on t-mobile I have to go Win-Mo with the HD2

Good Question!!
On my last conf. call my manager stated that "Android is OLD", lol! Because of the lack of updates from 1.5/1.6 - 2.1.
As of right now, our focus is the Wins Mobile HTC HD2. When i say "our focus", i mean MY SALES TEAM in the Southeast, I am not speaking on the behalf of Tmobile in general. just only my opinion based on my sales team **disclaimer** lol!
NOw, the HTC Desire(only in the UK) can be purchased unlocked (699.99). As a 'rooter' I would rather buy the Nexus One and root the Desire ROM. As a customer, I would still purchase the Nexus One b/c of the price difference.

Every springfield other than Springfield MO is mentioned. Be a secret Ninja and get us some 3g news! Please?
I had the regular cliq before I got the xt, and I'll have to say they xt is WAY better. I never really complained about it running 1.5 because that's what it had when I bought it and I liked it when I bought it. Now I'm getting a little testy about not getting an android upgrade just for the simple fact that there are A LOT of new apps the require 1.6 or higher. It won't be much longer before 1.5 is dead altogether. It's like buying a brand new PC and it comes running windows 98 or something. Alot of stuff just won't work on 1.5 anymore so it's definitely time for an upgrade. I know we're on the list for an update and all that but they said that in March and it never came. I hope this Q2 thing is for real, and the XT is still running Blur version 1.3.11. Will that be updated before the android update? Does it need to be? I'm just wondering why the xt is yet to even get a Blur update. Just a few thoughts. I still really like the phone and after an update I'm sure I'll love it!!
Any way you can post the click xt's music player apk please?

I'm with you on that one. I'll have an HD2 soon as they're back in stock. I've been trying to get one for a month now. I got to play with a demo at the store and it was awesome..

Motorola Quench

Hey guys, I recently got the Moto Quench (Rogers). I saw that it was running 1.5.
Is it possible that motorola will release a 2.1/2.2 for it sometime? I hate running outdated software.
Also as time passes this will get rooted right? Because there are some things that I would love to do once its rooted.
Thanks.
PS: Any other good android phones that are from Rogers that are equally or even better than this Quench?
soo... would anyone know? anything is appreciated. thanks
bump ? ^^ wanting some help here
Welcome to forums
have a look here
I have already asked that in those forums, there is no definite answer yet
Would anyone know if the X10 or HTC Magic+ (Both from rogers) are good? Is the HTC Magic+ from Rogers 100% rootable?
Thanks.
The HTC Magic+ is the old HTC Magic with Android 2.1 ... my advice is to stay away from it, its getting old. I have one and i'm looking for a good 1ghz device now because im tired of the lag.
btw its 100% rootable, i have CyanogenMod 6 on it.

HTC Desire or something newer's coming out?

Hi guys!I am the proud owner of a Touch Diamond and a Hero and an avid fan of HTC devices for almost 3 years now.As I am thinking of buying a new phone with Android (now that I have gothered some money ) I want to ask this.I like the Desire ALOT,but don't want to go through the same as with the Hero.When I bought the Hero on December,I saw much better devices coming out shortly,like the Nexus One,the Desire and the Legend and felt that my money could have bought me something by far better.So now should I buy the Desire or should I wait?Are there any plans for newer phones by HTC with better specs,like 1,5GHz processor,better screen etc?We all know that HTC gives newer phones more often than it gives newer software after all!
Thanks!
Well this rumor did just appear today:

Yes, im also waiting for the HTC Vision - till now I just heard that its basicly a "HTC Desire" with a slide/hard keyboard - and perhaps a better Cam - but hard to say when it's coming cause there are just rumors about this device.
Well anyway if u like the desire and android - I'd say: get it - as there are always new devices coming out... You cant win the race.
I'm just waiting cause I hope for the hardware keyboard.
Had a wizzard once and miss it a bit since im on blackstone.
cheers
Well,such a device could have brightened my day if I lived in the US!
Unfortunately however I live in Europe,Greece to be more specific.Now,in the middle of the crisis I want to buy a 500-600 euros phone!
Anyway,I think that I will go with the Desire for now...But if there is anything coming to Europe like a european version of the Evo then yes,I will be happy!

[Q] HTC Support History - Ditch HTC??

HTC seem to be developing a history of dropping development and support on their models after 6 months, which is extremely annoying unless you like to upgrade every 6 months. Is this false? Or should we all migrate away from HTC to other phones for this reason? My particular interest is in Android.
I was going to get my wife a HTC Desire Z but now I'm wondering if she's better off with an Android phone from a brand with a support history longer than 6 months.
Which Android vendor provides you with long support?
For me, I have just bought a HTC Dream more than 2 years after its release because there are tons of custom roms on xda. The Dream lives on because of the large community.
Make sure what you buy is a popular phone, so when official support stops you would stil get new roms from the community.
Inclined to agree, I have the original Desire so I am reading up on rooting and custom ROMs. Any suggestions or warnings?

Take your time and read those stickies on the Desire forums. You'll be glad you did.
To OP, I think most are about the same. Though, I am still a little annoyed at the whole TyTN II debacle a few years ago, lol. For me, it really comes down to build quality and not much competes with HTC. Especially when they try. Like the HD2.
I sure am taking my time. I am the kind of person who drives everyone nuts with questions on every detail.

This site is a benefit to anyone who uses it. It will extend the life of your phone. Many of the manufacturers will drop support after a few months. Most don't provide upgrades to software. Being able to use this site provides you with both: technical support for problems and upgraded software as newer versions becomes available.
My advice to you; buy a phone supported by XDA. If its not on here, don't buy it...
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Wise words. I am so thankful I got the STOCK factory standard unlocked / unbranded AMOLED UK HTC Desire now, that's about as 'vanilla' as you can get by the sounds of it and I should be ok for ROM support then. Now to work out the right rooting / ROM procedure and which ROM to use!!

HTC U11 updates

Before anybody tells me this is the wrong place to post, I just want to ask a couple of questions.
https://www.eglobalcentral.eu/htc-u...m-free-unlocked-4g-red-hs-code-8471-3010.html
The link above is the 128gb/6gb model of the HTC u11. Ive a funny feeling it is from the Asian market. I just want to know if HTC updates this phone just like the European market. I have a LG G4 and I hate it because LG skips many updates that are pushed to the Eu model and just bundles them into one update to cover another half year of no updates. Also does HTC deliver when it comes to monthly security patches and general updates. I hope they dont skip android versions x.1.1 like LG does. Thank you for listening to my rant.
Same situations here. I have an LG G4, and I want to switch to the HTC U11. I am interested to the 6/128 GB edition from the same site (the price also is very good). I've sent an email yesterday to eglobalcentral and the saw me that the smatphone is for the ASIA market...but the specs are the same of the EU market units (checked from HTC official website). I don't know about firmware updates for the India market..
