What about australia?

Anyone know if this phone is getting released in Australia?
I've asked a few main carriers and they haven't even heard of the phone,looked for release dates nothing! if its not being released in Australia then I think that will turn me off android for good, if Google cannot supply their phone to all country's then they have lost the battle to Apple IMO, just hope they pull there finger out and do something about it.
/end rant.

You could do that, or like me import from the US, especially good if you have a relative/friend over there, but comGateway seems to be a viable option. Mine cost just under $600 Aussie including shipping. That said if you have problems, you have to pay for shipping back to the US, where as Mobicity is just Australia etc.
Go outright no contracts, no worries! Skip carriers all-together I think when Voda had the N1 they changed it a bit as well so updates were slightly delayed

New Phones for tmo does it make sense to get one?

Ok, it's said that we are getting the Pyrimid, We are def getting the G2x and now it seems the LG 3d phone passed the fcc with tmo 3g bands and is the first dual core dual channel phone.. I really would like to get a phone that dual core when they are available but with this att deal it doesnt make sense to buy a new phone. From what I read ATT plans on using the TMO 3g frequencies for it's LTE network which means current tmo 3g phones will no longer work as 3g. Granted this is going to take a while to happen but does it really make sense to get a new device now or even in a few months when there is a possibility it wont fully work in a year? hmmm

I'd look at the HSPA+ bands. I think they are doing to be coming out with ATT and T-Mobile bands included. IF that is the case then jump on board.

Apparently the G2X will have ATT hspa+ bands as well

Lol so when this is all going down (if it does) I might migrate to the G2X..looks like solid hardware to me. I love my mt4g tho. I'm sad to see the big launch phone for their 4G advertising have its life span altered. Granted according to most the fact stands that we have a year before the deal even possibly gets approved and even then we're talking 2013-15 before tmo 1700 mhz is completely shut down.

@neidlinger:
Thanks for the link. If the same bands will be present on the Pyramid, I won't have any reservations about buying it.

And at&t said we can keep our plans

I was planning to upgrading from MT4G to Pyramid as MT4G for me was never official upgrade as it was quick replacement due to my HD2 being stolen. Now don't confuse upgrade and replacement with plan and insurance BS as I do pay my phone direct and paid $750 for Leo1024 got it 4months before it came out in TMoUS officially and paid $450 for MT4G.
I for one will not support TMobile and pay for HTC Pyramid even when if its has quadband radio and will support on AT&T. If the POS panzy dutch mofo's are selling it I for one will do pure boycott and I do hope they lose so much money that AT&T don't buy TMo as it looks very unattractive. I know I am very angry ATM as I am screwed both ways click here for my #1 reason can you call that double penetration?

I dont care, the pyramid will be my upgrade when it comes up in three months the 4.3 size is just the right size for me

With or without contract? Make sure this is what you want as you will soon deal with DeathStar if you don't switch to someone else. I do miss the 4.3" and most device that does have it on GSM are SamSUX based or HTC based on CDMA so I was looking forward to this until the BS merge of at&Tmobile.

Sensation 4G out for Bell tomorrow, Whose picking up one up?

As the title states, its out in Canada tomorrow from what i can see/been told. Hopefully the phone was worth the wait =3.

Thinking about it. Anyone know if BestBuy will let you pay full out for one with no contract unlike the atrix

Will be getting one from either wirelesswave or Tbooth tomorrow off contract, and will then unlock and use on Rogers.

Called Best Buy, they said they had it and it was $549, I said you have it now? they said yep. I said it's $549? they said yep, I said okay, hold it for me I'll be right in, they said okay... I went and they said they couldn't sell it to me, the skew wasn't taking or something like that. I said I just called you... just a dumbfounded look on their part. I hate incompetence.
Anyways, I'm guessing their computer knows that the official release is tomorrow so it's not allowing the sale.

also reaping the benefits my friend
loving this fone since TMO launch, i highly recoommend it.
i just hope bell didnt swamp the fone with bloadware like TMO did :/

The TMO version of the phone supports both the AWS frequencies and the UMTS frequencies. Does anyone have any idea if this is the same with the one Bell is releasing? I'm looking to put this phone on WIND and would prefer to buy it within the country rather than from the outside.

you need the TMO or an unbranded for working on AWS, most others arent compatible
not to mention how easy it is to get a TMO S4G in canada, or just by driving across the border

Thinking of going out to my local best buy and futureshop to see if they will in fact sell one on no contract... Anyone have any luck doing this?

I just walked into the source and walked out with a bell sensation. Unlocking now for use on rogers. No issues no need to setup a bell account.

You got it off contract? Ugh this sucks. I got my Atrix through best buy with the PEP program and the wifi signal strength/call quality are horrible and I just got the phone May 26th, but since I got GingerBlur on the phone, I don't see how I'm gonna be able to exchange it without em noticing something...different with the phone.

I happen to work at Best Buy Mobile, and if you restore a stock rom and mess with around with a root explorer, you should be able to mess up the phone enough for them to exchange it with said PEP. The guys there don't EVER notice anything subtle, and I doubt you should have any problems

With it unlocked, will it get Rogers 3G? I'm assuming yes as HSPA+ bands are 850/1900 like Rogers.

So in other words, no information whatsoever. Lazy HTC listed quad band GSM but forgot to include the 3G bands in the specs.
We can probably assume it's UMTS 850/1900, possibly also 2100 for roaming. No AWS. The only Big 3 devices to include AWS have been the pentaband Nokias.

Rogers will not purchase quad-core phones until Q4

My friend works as a manager for the rogers call center in montreal and he tipped me that an email has been sent from purchasing HO in Toronto that Rogers will not purchase any quad-core phone except the HTC One S until Q4 2012. My friend is very credible and even though we had debated on the fact that this is a ridiculous claim because it would go against the normal evolution of technology, he assured me that the email comes from high up the chain of command. But as he pointed out, the GS2 was released in back in June 2011 and Rogers didnt acquire it until October.
In any case, i believe him because he would lie to me but i'm curious to know why...this would naturally mean that unless a snapdragon S4 variant is released, no GSIII for Rogers Canada until October

I believe they are placing limits on themselves so they have an excuse for releasing the GSIII so late after the international i9100 was released. The AT&T (and I think rogers has an ATTAIN too) wasn't released until well after the i9100 (like 5 months?) And its nearly identical... so I wouldn't expect them to get the GS3 until Q4 anyways

HTC One X plus for verizon? Please help

First off.. when will this phone be available and will verizon be carrying this phone? Or can i just buy an unlocked version and put a verison micro sim in it? im not really sure how this unlocked ohone thing works so if anyone could explain it for me thatd be a huge help thanks.
Sent from my SCH-I905 using xda app-developers app

Can't be done since Verizon is a CDMA carrier and the X+ is for GSM carriers. However, just today, the HTC Droid DNA/Droid DLX just passed through the FCC today. The DNA, btw, is the Verizon version of the HTC J Butterfly that was recentely released in Japan. That is the closest your going to get to the X+, unfortunately.

It's only available on ATT in the states. You should be able to buy a unlocked international version and put a Verizon sim card in it but you'll never be able to use LTE due to the different network bands.

I would take the Droid DNA anyday, over the HOX+

So would I but no device is worth switching carriers for me with the deal i have locked in with ATT from years back. Any word if this Droid DNA will be out for ATT this year? If so would get this hands down over the HOX+ anyday!!! 2gb ram, s4 pro quad, sd slot, real no brainer, lol! If it won't be available for ATT and Verizon/T-mobile only then i'll have to go with the HOX+ by default.

No, it won't be coming to ATT, the droids always go to Verizon as their exclusive phones

Damn that's sad but overall i believe Verizon is superior to ATT. Just in my entire area ATT is the leader and would have to pay an easy $60 more a month to have the same exact plan as i do now on ATT and that's with my friend working for Verizon helping! Just not worth it for me personally.
The HOX+ sure isn't a bad device and still looking forward to it but damn when will it be out for us???

Next year there will be a new phone that HTC will release that should be better than the HOX+ on ATT. HTC still need to make a S4 pro gsm phone for the masses like the HOX
