[Q] Question for Canadians - General Questions and Answers

Hello Canadians,
I am looking to trade my T-Mobile G2 for a Bell Desire Z to use on AT&T's 3g network.
Can anyone point me to Canadian smartphone specific forums that have a buy/sell/trade discussion?
Any other ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Danny.B

[Q] New and could use some help

Hey everyone! I'm new to XDA and android and could use some help. Been looking for my first android phone and am currently living in the dominican republic. My carrier operates on the 850 band for their 3g network. I need to be able to purchase an unlocked phone or a phone off contract that i can unlock without complications. Some phones i have looked into are Nexus S, Desire HD, Atrix, G2x and a few others. Nexus S doesnt work with my carrier for their 3g and the desire hd lacks a front facing camera.
I could really use some help or guidance in finding the right phone... All your help is greatly appreciated. Have posted in a few other forums, but to not much avail. Thanks again everyone!
The Galaxy 4g phone has 850 band and FFC and is a decent choice. I do not know how good the Coverage of 4g is in Dominican so even though it is a great phone you may only have 3g reception. You could get a Galaxy S phone and install a FFC in it(or buy it that way) would save some money but it is older tech .... .........BUT there is a ALOT of support here in XDA for the Galaxy S. And there is multi language already installed in it.Or you could wait until the New S2 makes it here in June sometime.
If you went with a Galaxy S (Vibrant,Captivate, etc) here in the states you can get for about 175-250.00 right now vs 450-550.00 for a new phone.
So, there are some options. I would stay away from the Atrix, Motorola is not hacker friendly and there are some other quality issues about them I am not convinced it is worth the money.
BTW, Welcome to the forum. This is the best place to be to learn about Android phones. Look at the specific phone forums and read up. This will assist in understanding the phone and help you make a more informed decision.
Good Luck in your quest....... Cheers
Thanks for the helpful info. I have been reading up on the forums and have also heard about the Atrix issues.
As for the Galaxy S, I do like that phone, but as you mentioned, it does have some older tech especially compared to what is being released this month and next. I don't mind paying a little more having a more up to date phone. Hence my hesitation with something like the Desire HD or Inspire and it's lack of a FFC.
As for the network here, no 4g yet. One of the carriers "Orange" is looking into it, but wouldnt be for a while. Also, I'm quite exactly how much longer I'll be here.
Desperate to get a phone and was hoping to do it this week while my friend in back in the US and could pick it up for me so that I dont have to pay the rediculous taxes at customs when ordering electronics.
The G2X is looking like an option, but i dont know about unlocked nor exactly how much at this point. This is proving to be more difficult that i imagined, been at it for a few months now. Who would think that with so many choices there would actually be so few choices!
Any continued help is still greatly appreciated! thanks again!

[Q] Create a portal for HTC Rider(EVO 4G+, X515E)

Actually I asked same question in EVO 3D forum. Seems that's no a right place.
The model currently is only available in South Korea and Japan. Somebody says it's the international version of EVO 3D but with WCDMA. Not quit sure if this is right.
There is no dedicated sub-forum so far. I am asking if it's possible to create one.
Hi dear mumu_li.
You can buy HTC EVO 4G+ on item.taobao.com
Hi forum Moderator,
Please create a sub forum for this. I m from india and i going to own this phone.
ordered in ebay.
Thanks,

[Q] T-Mobile 4G vs EU model

I did a search in the Sensation main forum for T-Mobile, and didn't find an answer. Please forgive me if I've missed it.
What are the differences between the EU model of the "Sensation" and the T-Mobile "Sensation 4G"? Hardware and such. Is there any real difference?
I had an HTC HD2. There was a forum for the EU model and one for the T-Mobile one for a while. Then they merged and rom developers specified in their threads if it applied to one but not the other. Looking over these forum and rom threads, I see no mention of T-Mobile's 4G being distinguished. Is there no need for this?
I read the guides about S-Off the Sensation, I'm assuming they apply fine to the 4G as well?
Any help on this matter would be appreciated.
It's the same thing.
Thanks. And clicked the "Thank" button for you.

Looking to pay someone to add frequency bands to my LG Wine Smart 2 (H410)

I bought an LG Wine Smart 2 from eBay/Italy. I have a T-Mobile USA SIM in it currently, but I am only getting 2G speeds on it. I would like someone to mod the phone to get 3G or 4G, and I'm willing to pay for it. I saw one or two threads on XDA for adding frequency bands to Qualcomm phones (which this phone has), but was unsuccessful at rooting the phone. If you have experience in this, please send me a direct message to discuss further details.
This thread might not be in the right forum, if so please direct me to the most appropriate forum or feel free to move the thread for me, thank you!
