what is sprint?

hello all,
i am about to buy an htc touch pro from ebay but that "sprint" word is confusing me. even i have been looking for it on internet and xda-developers site couldnt find information. As i am in ukraine, will it be a problem using it here? or it is just smt like a gsm service and i will not be able to use the service here?

You are not searching hard enough. Any search engine with the title "sprint touch pro" will give you the top returns of a US CDMA carrier called Sprint having released it's version of the Touch Pro.
NOT GSM as you are looking for. The same confusion exists on this forum where the name Raphael/Touch pro has become quite generalised and convoluted as it may cover either the GSM or CDMA version.

Exactly. Sprint decided to keep the Touch Pro name, and they are a US CDMA carrier and it WILL NOT work on GSM networks.
You want an HTC branded GSM Touch Pro.

i see. thanks for help. seems like i need to wait a bit more to buy.

Sprint is a phone company here in the U.S.
Google.com is your friend.

I've seen some pretty worthless threads in my lifetime but this one might top them all.
Congratulations!

Without a doubt the Verizon version is the most crippled. They cut the RAM to 192, CPU is slower and took out the accelerometer. Plus it costs more.

where is everyone getting this "verizon took out the accelerometer" crap?

One of the main stream gadget blogs posts about it, but I looked on HTC's site regarding the Verizon version and looks like that part is still intact. Everything else though still stands.

Uhhh, you are atempting to directly compare the 'crippleness' of an AT&T or "unlocked" GMS phone to CDMA models?
For starters, you'd best declare that you are aware that CDMA devices are absolutely LOCKED to their branded carrier --- unless a third-party carrier is willing to accept another's device. Unless one is content with their carrier that may certainly be crippling status of a phone.

Hi Keystone,
Of course I know the differences of GSM and CDMA technologies.
What I'm attempting is to compare features added or removed from the the original HTC. LIke I'm aware AT&T changed the keyboard layout.
Do you know what other features have been modified by those carriers?

I believe the CPU still the same. I read somewhere a guy posted wrongly that it was a 400mhz. As far as specs, it is still the MSM201A 528MHZ.
I haven't seen the Sprint one, but apparently is the more intact of all.
I had in my hands the Fuze in an AT&T store, the Keyboard has a numbers pad ovelaying the alpha keys. But I verified it has accelerometer but slow or unresponsive
I think actual verizon, sprint and AT&T owners can tell what changes were made to their devices.
If I ever decide to go for one of those I don't want surprises.

Is the one coming out on Verizon include all those people and the dude with a clip board following you around, or did they remove that too?

Ahh right, sorry...just on this forum some are very confused when concerning CDMA.
The Telus & Bell releases are spot-on the same as the internal hardware of the Sprint model. The exterior just isn't the red -- flat black smooth battery covers instead.

Need help from Professional with HTC Touch 3G

Dear all,
I bought HTC Touch 3G from Singapore based Ebay seller. Now the handset is connected to Australian mobile network. In the left lower corner of 'Today' screen - there is 'StarHub TV' button. Probably the phone was originally ment to be on this Singapore network.
DOES anybody know how to get rid of this to make sure button 'phone' appears instead of 'StarHub TV'.
Thank you!
Ivan

probably software SOFTKEY MANAGER.

I Would think you can probably get an original HTC unbranded ROM for it & Flash it..

HELP Buying Touch Pro for Australia

I live in Australia and I'm thinking about buying a Touch Pro from USA since it seems cheaper. I was wondering is there anything I have to look out for that might stop it form working here. Eg. Network issues.
I'm thinking about this one

Hi,
The phone in the link operates on the CDMA network, you'll want the GSM version (the one that uses a simcard). It is also network locked and will need to be hacked/unlocked.
Very cheap though...

Thanks
Some of them say A & T service required for some of the features. What does that mean?

you don't really need to "hack" it. just get someone to create your unlock code for you. you can get it here on xda or even ebay. I believe olinex can provide you the unlock code for a price. I can gaurantee that these guys here at xda are very helpful so dont' worry about that too much.
you should think about what band your provider in aus is using.
Good luck!
EDIT: those "features" are ATT specific and you can make those disappear. check the links on "unbloating" your phone. It's pretty annoying but it does not do anything for your phone if you don't use ATT's network. Check out the thread on flashing for beginners. Read it carefully and if you have questions, be very specific.

Thanks for the help. I been using a jasjam (hermes) with a flashed rom but the hermes is in bad condition so thinking about getting a new phone.

Dood, I'm in Aus and also upgraded to Touch Pro from JasJam.
A warning. You will not get Telstra NextG video calls. The touch pro does not operate on Telstra's band. Just in case you were/are a Telstra man...
Also, you should be able to ebay a cheap as new unit in Australia... I've seen many go for under $300.

A brand new phone for less that $300???
What are you searching "HTC touch pro"?

Touch Pro or Fuze in Australia?
Mate, check the 3G/UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA frequencies used by your provider!!!
The TP AND the Fuze will work AS PHONE in almost any GSM network (beside some Asian countries i.e. Japan) since they are 4 band GSM devices. However, using the benefits of high speed data aka 3G you have to check which band your provider is using. AFAIK Telstra is using 850/1900 which matches the ATT US network while t-mobile and the std. TP use 900/2100. IF you are with Telstra get a Fuze and it will work. People here in the US buy the HD (not offered here in the US by ATT) in Australia to operate it in the US network.
Good luck and don't get screwed.

[Q] Is there a THE Nexus S? (I'm confused with all the models)

Hey Guys,
I'm interested in the Nexus S, I'm sorry I'm creating a thread to ask this, but it's just driving me crazy.
I plan on using T-Mobile in the US. When I search Evil-Bay and other online stores. They just put up i9020 as the model number and list all the bands. Is there a Nexus S version that has all the bands (I hope I'm using the right term) that the i9020T and i9020A have?
I bought (haven't paid for it yet) this Nexus S off of Evil-Bay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/12086207081...NX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_766wt_1267
and the description says it's a i9020A (the wrong one I need as I was later told by friends). I contacted the seller to ask which model it is and the seller is telling me it has the same Band Network as T and A model.
SO, is there a version that has every Band Network available?
Thank you.

No Nexus S has all the bands. Linky for reference.
You want the i9020 (original) or i9020T, or even an i9023 (this is slightly thicker and has the SC-LCD, not SAMOLED). The 4G obviously won't work for you at all, though the i9020A will sitll give you 2G/GPRS/EDGE calls and data - you'll get no 3G with T-Mo with the A model.
Edit: In fact, you might get some 3G with the 2100mhz band. I don't live in the US to guarantee anything though, wiki says T-Mo is 50% 1700 and 50% 2100mhz.

If you live in the USA, buy 9020, not 9023, you won't have samples screen with 9023
Greetzz, Jojoost.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

E-bay is full of crap ... Try Amazon and look for "I9020T" if you want T mobile,(or I9023 for AMOLED screen is not important for you and you save 20-30 bucks)
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-GT-Go...2C48/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1330109609&sr=8-1
If seller doesn't specify I9020T in item discription , move over ...

check out cowboom.com they have REALLY good prices but they very from day to day so...

Thank you for the info guys!
The seller contacted me and said the phone I purchased from him is:
model GTI9020.
BAND: Tri-bandHSPA(900,2100,1700MHz),quad-bandGSM/E DGE(850,900,1900MHz)
But, did they ever make a White i9020/i9020T model? The only information I found for the white version is that it was made specifically for AT&T so did they ever make a white version for tmobile ?

I don't believe they did, but there is a white i9023 which you'll probably need to get shipped from Australia or Europe if they have them. I personally prefer the SC-LCD over SAMOLEDs (even all the SGS2s ive seen have ugly tints), it's just a little harder to find cases that fit since it is a little thicker.
Also, if it is in fact those bands, it is the i9020T. Get him to post a picture of the sticker behind the battery and see if it says i9020A, just to make sure.
