Hi,
I am on Tmobile USA currently and waiting for it to launch 3G in my city. Reports suggest that it will do so on Oct 1. Do you have any information about what kind of PDA phones with 3G support will it launch?
Alternatively, what kind of PDA phones out there will be able to utilize 3G on Tmobile in USA? I am currently looking at buying Touch Diamond, but don't think that it will be able to use 3G on Tmobile USA.
thanks for your input.
here's a prior thread on the same question...maybe some info there:

thanks for the link, however that thread is old and doesn't have any information about what PDA phones can be used! thanks anyways
yeah, it's hard to get a straight answer from t-mobile! I just called the store and they said 3G is aproved for my area (Las Vegas)...but they are waiting on the new devices for it? They said one would be the google android, some blackberys, bla bla... They are not going to get many customers with that 3g bandwidth, since all current ppc's will not work.
With the release of the HTC Fuze and support for the 850 and 900 UMTS bands does this mean that the device will be suitable for the Telstra Next G Network in Australia as they use the same bands? I've gotten conflicting answers from contact within Oz, so i thought it best to ask you guys!

yes they will. though telstra has something nice up their sleeves too
Thanks
I'd be very interested to hear more. I asked at Two Telstra shops yesterday and there was a large silence before they said no...thought something was a bit suss
Please, please my JASJAM is dying slowly but definitely not gracefully and am hanging to get this phone on NextG (due to location).
Have been watching forums for any news along with pestering Telstra but still no joy.
Telstra and something nice don't normally go together...so I'm very intrigued!
Im in the same position. My jasjam is trooping on, but i would love one of these on the NextG network.
Keep this thread updated with any news from Telstra.
My dopod 838 is on the way out :-(
Mobicity is the only place I have seen selling a specific NextG Touch Pro but Im a bit dubious about it...
Something nice? I have to agree with VinEquity.. telstra and nice dont go togeather. "look at the pretty lights, ignore the horror of the charges." and what is usually up their sleeve is another charge.
I've given up on the Fuze for the moment due to the cost of getting one into Australia, approx $900 from someone on ebay with no warranty etc.
It would be good to see Telstra pick up the Touch Pro & the Touch HD in the near future but they have been way behind Vodafone, Optus & even Three for launches of major phones such as the Nokia E72, BlackBerry Bold (6 weeks after Optus even thought Telstra were supposed to have an 'exclusive') and now the Omnia
no one else has looked into the mobicity? they are pretty adament it is a next g phone.
Got an email back from mobicity, it appears these touch pros are actually fuze's. They have an AT&T logo on them.
the uk touch pro has 850/900 band...i got mine a few months before it came out in australia and works well on optus (havent tried next g since dont have telstra sim). it cost au$900 which is 350 less than outright from austalia
Hey xternal, just spoke to Telstra again, girl had the TP on her list of Next G handsets but no stock available until early December. She's going to call me on my JASJAM, if it survives that long, when stock arrives....Not counting any chickens yet!
Spoke to Telstra again today. The girl said she had the TP on her list of Next G handsets but no stock available yet. She spoke to her supervisor who said early December...that's only next week!!!!!! I'll be phoning back on the 1st, 2nd... until I get my hands on one. My JASJAM has starting givng me the white screen of death so it should all fall into place nicely or am I counting my chickens prematurely.
Hey thanks for the update. My contract is up in dec so could be perfect!
Still no sign
Talked to telstra today, they said they have no idea when it will be released, they just released the Nokia 96 on Monday so I dont think It will be too soon, but who knows
Telstra reps get confused easily
The Telstra stores and also the business side easily get confused. I regularly deal with a very senior corporate mobile person in Telstra and he refers to the diamond as the pro. They have no immediate plans for the TP. Their preference is the Sony as an exclusive deal. It's all about carrying devices you cant get elsewhere and creating the perception of being different.
I have a TP and use a Next G sim in it. It only gets UMTS (900+2100) and GSM (900+1800). The phone easily roams to 3 which is half telstra 'owned' anyway and I have H coverage for my data almost continuously, occasionaly it drops back to Edge.
Hopefully, they will get the TP 850, I remain ever hopeful.!
Oh well, i bit the bullett and ordered a fuze. Should be here sometime between xmas/new year.
Ill let you know how it goes. I just couldnt hold out any longer. It seems telstra are getting the X1 not the touch pro
Hi all,
Just received the HTC Fuze from Mobicity, and dropped in a Telstra Next G sim and all works fine.
I used the guide below to get HSPDA working, (disabled by default as some of you know)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=459335
Use the following settings for the telstra.wap:
Connection name: Telstra.Wap
Data Bearer: GPRS/Packet Data
Access Point Name (or APN): telstra.wap
USERNAME: (Leave Blank)
Password: (Leave Blank)
Authentication: Normal
Proxy: 10.1.1.181

Having problems with telstra.corp (authentication issues) for those wanting to have it join thier company WAN, but will let you know how that goes. Will flash and use another radio if I have to.
Oh MY GOD! There is someone out there wit a FUze on NextG! Rom/radio trials? Any good?

I popped my mums telstra sim card in and it appears to work fine
yeah but is she nextg? or just gsm? my touch pro runs fine with my telsra sim, but only gsm. ive got "3g" up on my fuze....after olipro sim unlock...
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.
I'm planning on pre-ordering the phone very soon, but have one question: will it work in America? I'm going to Florida - for 2 weeks - in December and while the phone won't have any issues with cellular bands in UK, I'm not sure if this can be said in America.
Possible carries are Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile. Can someone answer this for me, so I won't have to worry about getting a budget phone just for the trip there?
Hi
I can suggest you should go into the link and i will hope you will get your answer .here is the link(http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Unlocked-International-Warranty-Original/dp/B00AXXOXKW ) . Thank you
Hello got this phone as a present from a relative in the US, myself lives in Sweden.
Problem is that the phone hasnt any Swedish launguage, & 3 of 4 operators work the last one (Telia) wont work why i dont know.
Tried different sim cards from same operator doesnt work but alla other operators do, and im using that operator that isnt working =(.
So i started reading about ROM & flash etc thought maybe if i could flash it these two problems gets solved. Get Swedish aunguage in it and get rid of that operator problem.
But when im searching for any firmware that is compatible with my model cant find one for Scandinavia or Sweden.
Now im not an expert in these things tbh i suck and found out this forum & hoping for some help from you guys.
Would appreciate it thnx in advance.
