What 3g/4g bands is the t-mobile version releasing with. There have been conflicting reports from engadget et al based on fcc documents on which actual bands would be included and the htc website doesn't list specifics for the t-mobile variant.

I would assume it would ship with 1700/2100 AWS since that is what T-Mobile requires for "4G" and 3G

I'm sure it will have those bands, but will it also include others is the key question. There were some fcc docs posted on engadget and other sites indicating that it might possibly include 850 and 1900 as well. Almost as if the frequencies were specified in anticipation of the merger with ATT going through.

You cant unlock a GSM phone to work on a CDMA network. The hard ware doesnt support it. When you unlock a GSM phone that just allows you to use it with another sim card based company.

Look at Verizon and Sprint phones. (Both use CDMA networks) Or any wireless carrier that operates on CDMA - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_wireless_communications_service_providers
Then look at xda development threads for those phones. (will have tutorials if they can be unlocked/rooted/s-off'd)

It is my understanding that T-mobile has started to roll out the 1900 Mhz that At&t uses for 3G and was wondering if that would make this phone work on T-mobile's 3G or 4G network. Either way im buying the Htc Inspire again I had it back in june of 2011 but ended up going to verizon for a while and sold it. I really loved this phone and would deal with edge speeds if I have to.

Lucrative
The deal itself seems to be overwhelmingly lucrative. Seeing in recent years there has been a push to get cell phone service without a contract it would make sense that T-Mobile or any of the other big carriers to pick up pay as you go companies. I'm curious to see what changes happen for Metro PCS.

The HTC Amaze gets 4G on the 1700/2100 MHz bands, not 1900MHz. Sorry, but you might be out of luck with the OG, since it has no 1700MHz band built in. It only picks up 1900MHz for T-Mobile's 3G/4G, which may not be in your area.
Unless your area has been refarmed for the 1900MHz band, you're only going to see EDGE (2G) speeds at best. Then again, if you have T-Mobile LTE in your area, then it should work on that if you find someone who can unlock the modem for you.
There are so many "ifs" here, that you would have been better off not buying this phone to use on T-Mobile, unless you know for a fact that you have a refarmed network, or LTE service.
I think you misinterpreted the 1900MHz thing. That is not a nation-wide thing. It is only supported in some markets, not all. If you don't know for certain, then you probably don't have it. Your Amaze getting 4G means absolutely nothing, since it does not run on the 1900MHz band in the first place.

If you're sure of that, then you should be fine with the OG. If I recall correctly, there's a modem hack to enable T-Mobile LTE on it. That is dependent on your local area actually having LTE in the first place, though.
So if chattanooga has been refarmed and I'm 20 min from there I should be fine?
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda app-developers app
Not necessarily. It depends entirely on the towers you connect to. If the towers in your area use 1700/2100MHz for HSPA+ connections, then your phone needs to support those bands. If the tower has been refarmed and is using 1900MHz for HSPA+, then you have your pick of pretty much every GSM phone on the planet. Call T-Mobile to find out, or get a hold of a Samsung S2 or better phone with the stock Touchwiz ROM. You can go into the diagnostics menu with *#197328640# in the dialer. There's a network frequency menu in there that will show you the bands you're connected to.

That's not true at all. The T-Mobile Amaze only gets 4G on AWS bands. It does not get the 1900MHz band at all, which is what AT&T phones get 3G/4G on. So, either your phone is an unbranded version, or the guy on the phone didn't know what he was talking about. It's not as cut and dry as they would have you believe.
My suggestion would be to make sure that if you buy a non T-Mobile phone, make sure you can return it if things don't go right. I hope that your area is a refarmed area, but unless a tech tells you straight up that the towers in your area are refarmedwith 100% certainty, make sure to cover your behind when buying a new device just in case.

Ok. Well the unbranded one does have 1900MHz built in. It's uncommon for anyone to have that one, since the Amaze ended up being a T-Mobile exclusive device. As far as the refarm goes, I'd still urge you to be cautious in making a purchase. Make sure you can test out the device for a short while within a return period, just in case.

It could still work, we'd need someone to test. The M7 developer edition supported T-Mobile but only on 3G/FauxG. But flashing the T-Mobile radio to it enabled LTE connectivity.

Possibly. But the spec sheet for our model doesn't mention the T-Mobile compatibility we've seen so far. I wouldn't be even slightly surprised if HTC just used software/firmware to disable bands (or maybe not at all) in order to avoid making 5+ different pieces of hardware.

According to the website, yes. But it very likely has the CDMA radio hardware in there in order to save HTC the cost of manufacturing multiple devices. Much like how our locked model can connect to T-Mobile LTE, though you will find no mention of those bands being supported.
