When you unlock a Touch Pro 2 (from like Cingular) and want to use it on T-mobile, will ALL of the features of the phone work correctly?
My Touch Pro 2 died (after 14 months...grrrr), and i don't want to upgrade my T-Mobile plan right now, but want to buy a brand new Touch Pro 2s on ebay/craigslist, but some are from Cingular or AT&T..unlocked.
I just want to make sure I can do everything on the phone that I would have normally done on my original TP2 from T-Mobile.
Thanks!

I'm planning on ditching Sprint for ATT or T-Mobile because I cant get any international texts. Sprint claims its an issue with the international carriers. However, I was with T-Mob for years with the same number and I got tects from, England, Ireland, Germany, Nigeria etc.
Anyway, does anyone know of a good unlocked HTC PDA phone that will work with ATTs HSDPA(yeah I know about the tilt but it sucks). Any ideas please?
if ur willing to suffer for another month or two, the new Diamond is coming out for tmobile, which (except for battery time) is gonna be a whole new breed of ppc. if ur willing to switch to tmobile then yay for u, especially since tmobile is coming out with new 3G thats faster than ATT. if not im sure that there'll be a way to unlock it within 2 weeks of release. anyway good luck.
I've been eyeing the HTC Cruise(Polaris) lately. Actually I've spent the last 3 hours researching it and i think I'll make the jump. It's gonna force me to go to ATT since it will only work on their 3G spectrum.
It might just be me but I'm not intrigued by the diamond. The only upside is has above the Cruise is the today UI, which I'm sure wil be ported over as a cab once the diamond is released.

Well the diamond also has a faster processor and 4x the resolution screen as well as more ram compared to the Cruise.
www.expansys.com sell unlock phones in many countries
and diamond dont have 4X resolution it got 2X
if it had 4X it would be a 1280x960 device
my 8525 broke a few months ago and i reverted to my crappy old nokia e61...the treo pro is coming out in a couple of weeks should I get it or do u guys think i should hold on until the at&t version of the touch pro comes out as I need US 3g.
The Fuze! See this thread for the latest pro's why: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=417844
Xperia X1i hands down..
I am thinking of ordering AT&T unlocked version of htc touch pro. I am little confused. There are so many version of htc touch pro? I am looking for cheapest version and I think it's unlocked HTC fuze. Now, is there a way to remove all those AT&T shortcuts and get a normal(original) HTC touch pro phone?
The ATT version has a slightly different keyboard on it to the other varients (numbers along the top are removed and are accessed by a FN key - replaced by symbols)
I'm looking at doing a similar thing to get a Touch Pro, ATT seems the cheapest way of getting one but from memory it's about $50 more with other carriers that use the normal keyboard.
Yes, that is the case with keyboard but I don't mind really. I've found that I can latter install other rom and get original HTC touch pro, something like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=444784
@hidden_hunter, is there any other version that will work with GSM providers worldwide and has original HTC touch pro keyboard?
You will want to get the HTC Touch Pro T7272 (European Version) over the AT&T Fuze because there is a descrepency inbetween the US (Fuze) 3G Bands and the European (Touch Pro T7272) 3G Bands.
I am thinking about selling mt Touch Pro as mentioned in these thread replies: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=466685
If you're in Australia I think ATT's 3G bands are the same as Telstra's so it should work no issues, others might know more (I'm with Virgin mobile who since being totally bought out by optus seem to be becoming worse and worse value) So you would need to check if the frequencies are compatabile (make sure you don't buy a CDMA version for instance)
I live in Bosnia. Would Fuze work here?
Check your PM. I sent you details.
Hello all,
I'm on T-Mobile and trying to get away from the hell that is Samsung. I'm looking at OnePlus 7T T-Mobile, or 7 Pro.
It looks like the "root community" is more active on 7 Pro, and my fear is that the "7T T-Mobile" will give me trouble when unlocking bootloader and installing custom ROMs.
7 Pro seems to be very close in specs and has just looking at the ROMs section here makes it look like it has a more active community.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you.
If you mean 7 Pro (non carrier variant) then definitely go for it.
Not because there is more development, but also because I'd avoid any carrier variant of any phone.
If push comes to shove, you can always convert the TMO version to international. Easy and works like a charm.
Go for 7 Pro. Nothing beats the no notch full screen!!
Coming back to OnePlus with a OP 7 Pro from a Galaxy S10+ and I highly agree with the above statements. No carrier phones, OnePlus 7 Pro for the win!

Can you explain this a little? I'm actually looking at the 7 Pro on Swappa and the price difference from the TMobile version to the unlocked version is pretty significant. If I buy one that says T-Mobile unlocked, am I to assume it is sim-unlocked and can be converted?
I would only recommend doing so if and only if you are familiar with flashing rom/twrp/root and know what you are doing. If you have decided to buy a T-Mobile model, just make sure that it is fully network unlocked (you can test it with other carriers sim) and do the conversion first then unlock bootloader using the international model version method. I myself bought a refurbished T-Mobile version of oneplus 7pro for quite cheap and converted it to the international version. It has since then became an international model without any drawbacks. Dual sims is working, all custom roms are working and every mods that works on the global model will work on the T-Mobile converted model. The best part is after you convert to global, it will always stay global no matter which roms you flashed unless you revert it back.

Pretty much..I would check first before you decide to keep it. Also with the branded phones I would make sure it's not still under contract, stolen or not paid off. Something to think about
Also what the guy above me said is pretty much what I was going to say
The 7T Pro doesn't have a TWRP that can flash to the system. So you're stuck with using fastboot to flash ROMs. If you don't wanna do that, buy a 7 Pro

Yes I've been flashing since the original Droid. Haven't had a phone I could flash since my pixel xl though. I'll make sure and get an unlocked t-mobile phone. There are no limitations after the conversion? I feel like I was reading people who converted the 6T had issues with safetynet and nfc payments. All clear here?
Thanks guys. Got a sim unlocked t-mobile 7 pro coming from swappa.
Hi, I just tried taking my Cricket SIM card out of my OnePlus 7 Pro and putting it in another phone, and after I returned it to the 7 Pro, I got a notification that my line was suspended. So I proceeded to call Cricket customer service and asked why this had happened.. They said that the Network is changing to 5G and that this phone(the OnePlus 7 Pro) was no longer going to be supported after Feb 2022 because the 7 Pro is considered to be a 3G compatible phone and that all 3G compatible devices will no longer work after that date.
My question is: Are all carriers doing this? If not, What are the Carriers that will remain 3G-Backwards-Compatible?? I really do not want to buy a new phone as I bought this 7 Pro for over 600 bucks. Any help/information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
