If i buy the Droid 2 Global from America and unlock it, will the 3G/UMTS work with my T-mobile UK sim.
Frequencies are: My current UK T-Mobile Pulse which of course works fine GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 HSDPA 900 / 2100
Droid 2 Global GSM 850/ 900/ 1800/ 1900 UMTS: 850/ 1900/ 2100
is the omission of the 900mhz UMTS band a problem?

Well I have a Desire S at the moment , it runs on Orange Israel.
I am looking to buy a SGS II T989 from the marketplace here but it says that it runs on :
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100
While Orange Israel runs on :
GSM 900/1800 frequency and UMTS technology.
When I installed new rom on my Desire S it asked me what carrier I use , I picked Orange(3g) so I assume that I need a 3g phone that runs on gsm 900/1800 right? Or the SGS II T989 will work on Orange Israel?
Thanks for answers.
As you listed the frecuencies...
With at least one frequency compatible it will work.
It's only a few contries that use 850/1900 and your new Samsung will work on these countries either.

All carrier's in Israel use 2100mhz for HSDPA /HSPA+ ("3.5G") though some also use 850mhz as well like pelephone and celcom.
I noticed that there are differences in the radio frequencies used between the Euro and Asian LTE C525U HTC One SV's as follows:
2G Network
GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network
HSDPA 900 / 1900 / 2100 (Europe)
HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 (Asia)
4G Network
LTE 800 / 1800 / 2600 (Europe)
LTE 1800 / 2600 (Asia)
What I was wondering are these difference actually in the hardware between the 2 models or is it just software or ROM that is on them. Such that if you had the Asian model and you were in Europe could you just flash the European LTE RUU and then have the EU frequencies on the phone instead of the Asian ones. This would be for an unrooted phone.
I am thinking of purchasing a phone that supports the following bands:
2G: GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G: HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
4G: LTE 700 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 / 2600
There is a variant of the phone that supports the following 4G instead: LTE 800 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600
Which bands, if any, would work on Cricket Wireless (my current carrier). If none of them would work on Cricket, which 4G bands in particular work on US carriers?
TIA
I have been looking in many different places and could not get a decisive result towards which E8 model has which frequecy bands, especially concerning the 3G bands.
I hope one could give us a conclusive answer to this.
I myself have an M8sw chinese dual sim E8, and I still cant tell this answer wether I have
850, 1900, 2100 or
900, 1900, 2100 or
850, 900, 2100 or
850, 900, 1900, 2100
And I could not find one conclusive answer to this.
Please if someone can link each model to its bands, I would be extremely greatful.

Ian, I guess tou are the one, when it comes to E8. Thanks.
Just one more question. How did you figure it out?
You speek Chinese? The site has no English version. I thought I could use it for reference, but unfortunately I coudlnt due to language barrier.
Use Google translate, man...
Will this phone or a variant of work on T Mobile or Metro PCS? I noticed there appeared to be some spectrums missing when I look at the specs, but I am not sure if they were older spectrums that are going to be phased out slowly. Any help would be appreciated. I'm also open to suggestions on other 5.9 inch phones that would work better on T Mobile / Metro PCS.
I have a D838 this have:
GSM / HSPA / LTE
2G bands GSM 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G bands HSDPA 900 / 2100
4G bands LTE 1800 / 2600 (Bands 3, 7)
