I seen and researched a lot about the desire s. I think it a perfect phone to replace my nexus one. However no news about 850/2100 band. I think bell used to carry the desire line. I wonder if they will pick this up. If anyone find any source please post it here.

Telstra Next G network in Aust uses 850/2100 band. Aparently will be available first half of 2011.

Cool thanks. I am sure some in the US will imports this. Since now At&t is taking over 850/2100 band is better to have. I just hang tight.

Hey is it possible to swap the radio hardware in my i9020t to make it work on i9020a frequency? Thanks a lot.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
Don't think so. Why are you interested?
I have a nexus s from wind mobile w and because I moved they don't get service so I need to switch and don't want to buy a brand new phone. I just bought this one in December.

Are videotron or mobilicity available in your area?
Unfortunately no, I moved from the city to a small town so I have to use bell, rogers or telus

Well, the only difference between i and a is the radio hardware. Go find out what you need before starting
Yea that's what I was hoping I could get info on the part I need to swap out . I'm sure I could do it I'm just not sure where to find it

You could, but you would have to tear the phone apart, flash a compatible radio(and possibly rom) without breaking anything

Would it be possible to use an i9020a carrier with my i9020t nexus s? I'm not worried about losing the 3g, if I can make calls and text that's good for the time being. Thanks guys!

You should be able to do this just by swapping the sim.

I regret to inform you that this isn't going to happen. You said you have an i9020t from WIND right? WIND uses the CDMA network. Rogers, telus, bell, (and many others) use a GSM network. If you put in the Sim your phone won't read it properly. I'm sorry but it looks like you need a new phone unless you want to risk swapping hardware and destroying your phone. Even if you did swap parts I don't think it would work ad well as you think .
As suggested sell your Nexus you'll get a fairly good price for it. You could buy a used i9020a after. Sometimes used ones can have problems though.. I say you should sell it and find a way to get a new one

I was afraid of that lol. My only question is winds away zone uses the signal from robelus? If my phone can get the signal away couldn't it get it from there sim. Again I'm not concerned if data doesnt work seeing as I have wifi

Sprint is the only carrier that sells the CDMA Nexus. Wind uses AWS, which is 1700 MHz UMTS (3G GSM). The i9020t has AWS, as well as quad-band EDGE (2G GSM) for legacy networks.
As far as i can tell, if you want 3G, your only other choices are Mobilicity and Videotron. If those aren't available, Rogers is the only 2G GSM carrier I could find. Neither Bell nor Telus would be an option. They use CDMA for 2/3G and 1900 MHz for 3/3.5G.
This is, of course, assuming that your phone is SIM-unlocked.

Really? I didn't know that. Many of the employees at WIND told me it was CDMA (of coarse I'm in Canada). People having a hard time with their jobs I guess . I was also pretty sure that telus and such were GSM. Have people began switching over?

I'm currently deployed in Afghanistan and ordered the 6200 to work with GPRS out here, sadly enough that's the only reliable data connection available. I googled at&t and T-Mobile frequency bands but I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking at.
Could someone please let me know which carrier I'll be able to use this on with 3G when I return home next year? Thanks!

As long as it is sim unlocked then it should (technically) work with either one on 3G since AT&T uses the 850/1900MHz frequency and T-Mobile uses the 1700/2100MHz. The model you have (P6200) is listed for 900/1900/2100MHz frequencies for 3G.
It will work on both of them under 2G for sure since it is quad-band GSM.

This is just a guess based on what little I know about these things so I can't guarantee this.

That's exactly what I'm confused about. If T-Mobile uses 1700/2100 does that mean the device only needs to support 2100 or both?

It will only works on att, I have the same unlocked phone, tried tmo and only getting edge. Yea, mine comes with phone ability and unlocked
I've seen mixed information about how well TMobs One S will run on AT&T. So I have a couple questions to clarify...
1) I understand that it won't support LTE bands, but is AT&T HSPA+ supported?
2) What's the fastest down speed I could expect on AT&T?
3) Would I have any less coverage area by using the TMob One S on AT&T than the unlocked int'l version?
Thanks a lot!

Right it does not support lte but it does fully support att HSPA.
Theoretical max is 21.1mbps.... I see a average of about 4 and a max of about 9 in the DC area. Which, I might add, is better than my wife's galaxy nexus.
You actually get better coverage with unlocked tmob one s than the unlocked Intl version... the Intl version does not support att hspa bands.

I really appreciate it. I wound up finally finding a good, more recent thread right before you made your reply, but maybe this will help someone else down the road as well. I'm trying to decide between One X and One S on Att so this was a huge help!

Tmo USA uses 1700/2100 for 4glte, 4ghspa, and 3g, this came from their website, also you need to look at their coverage map to see if these services are even offered in your main area of use
