That's correct. I just called boost & they too said it will work just no 4g until they get 4g. Some people pay extra to "flash" the phone.

Get him a desire hd. Its the same as the inspire but sold in Europe. The inspire 3g wont work in Europe. And yes there are many websites that you can buy an unlock code from. Just search the fourm for the website.

No
Sent from my TripNiCE Pyramid using xda premium
No. Because 1. I used my upgrade already. And 2. I bought too much accessories already to let go of the phone.
I ordered mine today but I'm keeping my sensation. Will see how the two compare when I get my nexus
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
We'll. Get ics soon or later, and just for the firmware updates some wouldn't pay, plan cancellation fees, then go to an overcharging carrier, nfc chip? Ask anybody who owns a nexus s used it properly, and constantly, every dual core device now has same aspecs yet in a different way, different flavor, different. Everything

No cause it is just a little to big for me. Coming from the N1, then the Sensation, but the Galaxy Nexus screen seems to me just to big for my pocket!
I'm on tmobile us, is there any galaxy nexus that will.work with my carrier?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
The unlock version can support the T-mobile bands but you'll pay about $700

Has anyone tried to Repurpose to Tmobile ?

Has anyone tried to re-purpose the modem so it will work 3 or 4 g on Tmobile USA ?
Not possible. Only edge can work. Enjoy
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
I went around. In mmcblk0p2 you can edit the hex file sim carrier lock to T-Mobile. You will only get edge. After S=off you'll be able to get up to 4G using the diag GUI to change cell bands.

Why not just buy a one S from t mobile? Is the slightly bigger screen really worth it?

Rogers HOX on ATT

Just wanted to confirm if you can use the Rogers HOX on att without att noticing as a smartphone. I am currently on a unlimited media net plan and want to use it on the same plan.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA
Tried and received a text from art. So the answer is no. You don't get lye with the medianet plan anyways. So I would highly recommend to upgrade your plan.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Thanks I don't need lte on the phone. Hspa+ is fine with me. Just checking if possible use of media net with these new phones.
