Is this possible? I'd like a phone similar to the glacier with a radio for the US. I broke my phone over here.
HTC Desire A8182 is what I want. Highly, unlikely to get one here in Munich? I'm assuming so.

Before anyone says anything, I'm not here to talk trash about the Captivate. The Captivate was / is my first phone that led me into the android gateway.
I love the Captivate, but I was just wondering if there's any info on AT&T getting an android phone from HTC or Motorolla is the near future? (excluding the HTC aria and Motorola backflip).
I'm still a Captivate owner, but I would like to know my options if I do ever decide to return it to AT&T for a full refund. I'm currently on my 3rd Captivate because the first one had random shut downs, 2nd one had a dark yellow tint, and this one is perfect besides the fact that the 3 button download/recovery does not work.
If anyone has any insight on upcoming phones, please chime in. No flame wars please, thanks.
you may or may not have heard about the HTC press release a few days ago, theres 2 new versions of the desire, one has a keyboard with a 3.7in screen the other is basically a gsm version of Sprints evo, it remains to be saw which carriers will offer what

You mean the HTC Desire HD and HTC Desire Z?
I thought the HTC Desire HD was another version of the HTC Evo, but made for the rest of the world. I believe the frequency band would work for AT&T for voice, but as for data, it would be edge only, not 3G. That is what I read, I may be wrong though.
Anyone heard any info if there will be an 850/1900mhz 3G version of the desire s? I have not seen anything to hint this, cause i really am thinking of picking this phone up as my next device. also I believe that HTC does not sell their phones thru retailers like other manufacturers. meaning i cant go to amazon and buy an unlocked HTC phone. is this correct? if so that kinda makes it difficult.
There definitely will be one. Telstra in Australia has announced they will be selling it once released. Just search "desire s Telstra"

that's awesome news. let's just hope it comes with both 850 AND 1900mhz, since telstra i think only needs 850mhz for 3g (2100 too i think). the hard part now, where do i buy it unlocked? i dont think HTC sells phones unlocked, only deal thru carriers. at least i think.
strangely the incredible s listed on HTC website lists tmobile USA bands AWS called out specifically. this is why i thought no ATT version was coming. i mean if they call out AWS specifically then they would do the same for the telstra version with 850/1900...thanks for the info!
Hopefully one of the Canadian carriers picks up this phone too! I'm itching to replace my HTC Legend.
I like the matte black, aluminum unibody design, and screen size.
For sure I hope so. I've been testing the huge screen inspire, and the slcd is insanely power efficient. It won't break 230mA on max brightness, even lower on auto around 150mA. Meanwhile my nexus one destroys power at 650mA showing a white page.
Add in the more efficient CPU at 45nm and the desire s is gonna get superb battery life with its rather large battery and perfect screen size. I can't wait.
Well, I bought my Desire S unlocked without branding, so....

Does anybody use this phone on Tmobile USA? I am looking to upgrade from my vibrant and get a HTC phone. Was thinking nexus one but I kind of like the looks of this phone better. Not really interested in the 4.3 Inch screen of the Sensation 4G.
i'm currently looking at the incredible s from virgin mobile (canada) and the nexus s from koodo.
i prefer koodo or virgin, but then again i like the incredible s better.. it has sense ui and also a better camera.
is it worth going to virgin for their phone, or would staying with koodo be better? i heard virgin's not that great.
I love my Incredible S, but just be aware that it's not getting an update to HTC Sense 3.0 (or at least not without rooting the thing). The HTC Sensation however ships with that onboard, if that's an option?
i heard that the incredible s and desire s were getting it though
and 4.3" is a little too big for my tastes
I'd double check that, and just something to be aware of.
HTC may decide to be kind in Canada and leave us Brits out in the cold!

I had a T-Mobile G2 from launch and just about killed it. I had to get a phone out of necessity and got the Samsung Galaxy nexus as a temporary replacement.
I really do not like this phone lol. I miss sense and was holding out in hopes of T-Mo getting the HTC one x+ but that didn't happen.
So I pose the question of should I get the T-Mobile one s or get an unlocked one from expansys or just wait it out. I live in an area that was refarmed to 1900mhz so I could get the one x+ or even a droid DNA if I manage to get an unlocked one.
But with those last two choices I'd have to be able to live with 3g instead of HSDPA.
I think I could probably get a free upgrade since I bought this phone unlocked from Google but I can't make up my mind. I also can't stand aosp anymore though. I really want sense lol.
Thanks in advance.
