I currently own a captivate but now that I have two I am planning on selling and buying a Nexus S.
My question is Im assuming I will not be able to use 3G, however with a custom ROM would I be able to get "H" network or will I only be able to use EDGE?
Thanks in advance

Edge only. T-Mobile and ATT use different network bands. Otherwise I'd own a nexus s as well.

I'm not sure to be honest. If in fact you can get hsdpa or hsupa or hspa with a custom rom or modem. I may purchase one. I can look into it a little.

The answer is no. The physical support is not there - it's not an issue of flashing the appropriate radio.
An AT&T version has been seen in FCC fillings as well as referenced in commits in the git repo - it will be available soon enough. If you get the current version for AWS you're stuck on edge.

You can't do this for the simple fact that "H" is based off of 3G. The 2 companies use different frequencies for 3G and as such, different hardware is required within the phone. Simply put, no 3g, no H no matter what ROM you flash.
the ATT version is coming soon, probably within the next few weeks. it already went thru FCC testing.

It has to be approved by the FCC/DOJ/etc. I seriously doubt it'll get approved. Sprint is fighting this. And no, it wouldn't be a stupid idea. It's a good phone, people are over exaggerating about this purchase.
The other alternative if I was to make a phone purchase would be the G2x probably but that phone isn't unlocked so... Nexus S is purely unlocked from the beginning including ability to unlock the bootloader.

There are checkins to the aosp repo that reference an at&t radio (kb2) for the crespo (ns), so there is hope if you have the patience to see if it becomes a reality.

An ATT version is coming very soon from solid rumors, so you really should just wait a few weeks to get the proper working version if it comes out.

i buy the SGS 4G, and then hear about this.
I have sneaky idea that someone will find the unlock code for this as well so it can be use by T-Mobile peeps

its not a matter of it being unlocked, you can purchase them unlocked from alot of places. its a matter of NONE of them being able to utilize tmobiles 3g/4g AWS bands. They will only work on edge as far as data goes.

Edit: I noticed the article does not mention the battery size... if it shares a similar battery with the infuse 4g it should be a 1750mah battery.

I didnt know that... but I know I am waiting for more info on this phone. Sounds like it may even trump the SGSII (excluding dev support).
I'm just wondering if the SGS4G is the same as the Telus Galaxy S Fascinate 4G? I have one, and the model is SGS-959P. I had the 3G version, and had a custom rom on it, and loved it, just trying to figure out which roms I can use on this one..
Thanks

I know, i was just saying the specs are similar, its GSM, front facing cam, 4g, same bands, everything lol I was just saying why would samsung name it Fascinate when they already had a CDMA fascinate with Verizon. And why not give Telus the SGS4G better.

Verizon versions (if any) didn't have sim as they were 3g only. To answer your question - I don't see why they wouldn't work. Cheapest place to get a Charge would be eBay, Craigslist, maybe Amazon. Beware of bad IMEIs.

The Nexus One was never on Verizon, closest thing was the OG DInc. The Nexus S was also never on Verizon, it's closest comparison being the Fascinate.
To answer the original question though, yes, a MicroSIM adapter will work fine. However, I have heard of people having issues with the ones that they buy from Amazon or other stores. I made an adapter out of an old SIM card and I can use both my Nexus and Charge.

You probably aren't going to find it much cheaper than that. It is still a quality device, and short of finding someone local via craigslist wanting to dump the device, you aren't going to find it for to much less.

Hello all, I was wondering if any of you knowledgeable people had any news of I.C.S coming to the US , via T Mobile? There is so much speculation on this, I was wondering if anyone knew anything about this subject? I contacted T Mobile representive and she did not know what I was talking about.....then she said oooh that will be months away! I hope she's wrong! Months away? Really, what is your understanding on this subject? I will appreciate any input or opinions, thank you

I was waiting for this: I think every carrier should have its own "When is ICS coming to my Sensation OTA?" thread.
That said, the information you got is typically non-informative. I remember struggling to explain what a software update was to one of the reps. Now, of course, I realize that they simply don't have an answer and, per posts to be found elsewhere (Search!) say "in a month or two" as a basic TMO CYA policy.

Thank you for the tip.
Honestly I'm glad T-Mobile decided to delay the update. For some reason HTC now thinks it's acceptable to turn on your WiFi and/or Mobile Network whenever they damn well please. Apparently it takes a carrier to change their mind.
Hopefully it's a quality update when released!
Yeah I hope so too

There's no way that's an official Tmobile statement. Did you see the terrible grammar and run-on sentences? That person has a junior high education at most. An actual press release would be much better formulated.

Do you normally leave them on? If so then you're immune. This is a well documented issue with every ROM using the latest bases from HTC. Just read a few pages of any ROM thread using the base. Turning off auto-sync mostly eliminates the issue but it's a serious pain.
Regardless of workarounds, I find it utterly unacceptable for my phone to turn on its own data connection without me telling it to. I'm sure T-Mobile feels the same way. Imagine the support calls and troubleshooting nightmares.
