Im not sure, but from previous experience about how verizon seems to lock out all the good features that are in the other carries version of the same phone. Many examples can be suggested, but yeah you get the point.
I was considering dropping verizon to get a fuze since the price is much more appealing.
What im trying to ask is do you think verizon will lockout a lot of features on the touch pro? ex: flashing the rom that isn't a authorized verizon htc update rom. Non verizon approved app's???
Also features that ATT offers that verizon dsnt and vise versa. +verizons supposed faster speed on a data connection. I know this should be asked at howard forums for the question, but the flashing issue would be better suited here.
thanks for your time
Verizon will do everything possible to make the phone suck... it's what they do with all their phones
http://gizmodo.com/5084980/htc-touch-pro-to-launch-on-verizon-november-24th
A few verizon employee's told me about this last monday before the info was leaked. Specs wise i know the verizon ver is worse, but im more interested in the software aspect.
Worse and $50 more expensive than the Sprint and AT&T version... I don't know how people still find it possible to stick with Verizon.
Verizon is wonderful in terms of network for a large part of the country that is why they are successful. And many people don't care about having the cutting edge or newest phones.
Verizon almost always handicaps their handsets in some way to push their own software, not unlike what ATT did with the Fuze.
If you are die hard verizon wait it out and see.
Ill wait to see, personally id rather have the Touch HD*no 3g* since its like 50$ more than a contract free verizon touch pro. Im most likely gona get the FUZE if i dont see any good reason to switch.
If i get an oportunity to have verizon leme use a demo version and ask someone who actually knows. What should I ask em like specs wise besides it being downclocked >_<? Also anything important to look out for if i get to try the demo or full ver?
ALso on the fuze is there video play back? I looked on htc's US site and didnt see any info about that, which the pro models had.
i've learned to wait and see for myself...
guys, if life has taught me anything is to wait and see, third party comments aren't always accurate.... wait and see for yourself...
I was looking to buy one of these for my diamond and was wondering if any of you have used them. On the site its looks like they only make the ones for the unlocked phone because of the back and the front camerea for video chat. Do anyone know if they work for the alltel branded diamond?
Its time for me to find a new phone. Ive gone through three first gen MotoQ over the last few years and this last one is finally starting to fall apart which is quite amazing since it was announced five years ago (if it isnt broke dont fix it, and if it breaks fix it!). I've been a MetroPCS customer going on six years now and have no intention of switching providers
Help me find a phone with the following requirements -
Android OR Windows Mobile 6+
Able to be modified for MetroPCS
A full keyboard (can be a slider, flip or front facing keyboard like the MotoQ)
Price under 200$ new or used
Some nice features to have but not required would be -
Charges through standard mini usb
Extended life batteries (or brand new original batteries) available
Some type of tethering solution (currently i do this through USB)
I don't mind if the phone is old, even a model from four years ago if it works well
I am in the San Francisco bay area (LTE is available)
I often use my MotoQ to send MMS and the Google Maps application even though the speed is very slow (perhaps because of my device?).
Three times I have paid someone to add the "foreign" ESN of my phones into the MetroPCS database so it would be a definite plus (not a requirement) if the phone had the ability to directly take over for my current MotoQ without the extra fees (electronic serial number change).
You dont have to give me all the details on how to hack the phone onto metro, if you give me a model number I will do my own homework.
My girlfriend insists on getting me a phone for my birthday. I think she is tired of seeing me carry around this ratty old phone that no one still uses.
Thanks for your suggestions
Based on all your needs, the best fit would be a Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2 (Rhodium). It also runs Android now, as well as WM 6.1/6.5.
I have little experience with CDMA, but from what I understand most devices whether they have a good or a bad ESN can be flashed for any carrier other than the original. I haven't seen any CDMA Rhodiums for sale here on the forums, but you could always try eBay. They're pretty cheap these days too
Good Luck!
Thanks for the quick reply. I will have to look into that model more but so far it does seem to do what I wanted!
I was starting to lean towards the Moto Droid 2. Apparently it is not too difficult to get it functioning properly on MetroPCS and it has decent specs. The price for used models isnt bad and its running 2.2 android stock, with a 2.3.3 hack available

Also true, with the added benefit that if you ever move away from CDMA, you'll have a GSM radio in there too. I can only speak for the original Milestone, but it was a capable little phone at the time. They reworked the keyboard on the second one, so it seems to be much more user-friendly. I'm not sure how much luck they had with the bootloader on it though, so would pay to do some research there before you buy
Has anybody heard any rumors that T-Mobile might get the black version of the HTC One S? It looks much better IMO and I'm tempted to wait rather than buy the gradient blue version right now.
Yes, several people have heard from T-Mobile reps that it is coming in June. That is subject to change, of course. My T-Mobile rep told me it is coming, but did not mention a date.

I just hope they were able to fix the chipping problem some people have experienced on the international version.

You do understand that T-Mobile exists outside US? There is a thread saying same thing and requesting people to keep that in mind to avoid confusion but people still keep posting assuming tombile is a US thing.

There is no T-Mobile branded HTC One S outside of the one carried by T-Mobile USA. When someone says the T-Mobile HTC One S, they obviously mean the T-Mobile USA version as the only other version of the phone is the international version (unbranded). I don't see how this could be confusing.
Next month, that is IF HTC can get their phones through customs!!!

The customs issue doesn't apply to the One S only the American One X variants.

I wish they'd release either the black or grey without the colored camera ring. ugly, in my opinion.

Did you see the the TMO shipped RUU _DE version here already?
What do you think it is for?
(For my T-Mobile Germany branded HTC ONE S maybe)
I don't mind the camera ring too much. I've got the Droid Incredible and it hasn't bothered me. I'd actually like to have a black HTC One S with the blue camera. That would be nice.

The T-Mobile USA phone actually has T-Mobile's logo on the front, not HTC's. It also has a different case with a separate piece on the bottom of the phone. It's a different model than the global version. That's what I meant. I should have said there are only two models, the T-Mobile USA model, and the International/EU model.

All HTC smart phones are included if they are running Android. T-Mobile just managed to get a bunch of One S's in the door before the date that the hold started; all new shipments are being held at customs.

Also I saw yesterday that Telus is selling what seems to be the T-mobile US One S without the T-mobile branding. In other words, the blue/gray version with the extra cover piece at the bottom. Unfortunately, doesn't look like they will have the black for a while.
It'll be coming some time in June.

What is that seperate piece on the bottom for? The Canadian versions (Bell/Telus/Virgin/Fido) have it too. I prefer the cleaner look of the international version.
It looks slightly off colour compared to the rest of the phone. Stood out like a sore thumb to me.
The red circle around the camera lens is lame

Are you referring to the black version? because that would be fantastic.
If I get the black international version will it work with t-mobile hspa+?

No. It lacks the 1700/2100 AWS band that T-Mobile USA uses for it's 3G/HSPA+ network. You would only get EDGE data.
Hello to all,
My friend want to buy a one xl second hand and I want to know before getting the phone what are the particular things to this phone that need to be checked before
Also how can I check if the phone is not a fake or I don't know if even already exists a fake on the market, any guide will be welcome, I will meet today with the guy
Thanks,
Oh and I want to mention that he will use the phone on a GSM network and as the phone support it should be no problem
The guy mentioned that the phone was unlocked from his carrier, is there any problems that can occur here? let's say if I'm going to flash custom roms the phone get locked back? how can be unlocked?
thanks again
To tell you whether the phone will work on your friend's carrier, we would need to know what country you guys are in, and what version of the phone you are buying. If its a GSM system, the phone SMS, and WiFi should all work. But whether 3G and LTE will work, depends on whether your local carrier is compatible with the bands on the phone. Also, your carrier must offer MicroSIMs, as that is what the phone accepts. I believe any carrier that offers current versions of the iPhones or iPads should have MicroSIMs available.
Don't know if there are any counterfeits of the One X/XL that could really be passed off as the real thing. I think somebody posted a video of a phone that was supposed to be a clone of the One X, but it was a cheap piece of crap that could never be confused with the real thing (looked like cheap plastic, twice as thick, etc.). If you have seen/handled the phone in person, I doubt there would be a counterfeit that could be mistaken as real. The one piece polycarbonate body, gorgeous screen, and the general build quality are probably not going to be anywhere near matched by a cheap knockoff. If you haven't seen a One X/XL in person, least watch some videos of what the phone looks like.
Much appreciated your feedback, it is orange Romania, i don't know from where the phone is all he said it was unlocked to be able to use o any carrier on a service, I will check with my microsim if it works
Just a question, it is worth to change if the one xl is ok with my gnex?
Thanks again

Based on this Romania uses GSM 900/1800 for Voice and EDGE data, and UMTS 2100 for 3G data. Those bands are extremely common, and used in most of Europe, and other parts of the world. Just about any version of the One X/XL should be compatible. You should be okay in this regard. But you may need to find your carrier's data network APN settings and enter them manually, in order for data to work. You should be able to find the APN settings for Orange Romania by Googling.
Never owned a GNexus, so can't personally say. The One XL has a better CPU, gorgeous screen, and beautiful build quality. I know folks on here have switched to the One X and love it, while others prefer the AOSP nature of the Nexus series, and the developer support. Whether its the right switch for you depends on your personal needs and preferences, budget, and how much a One XL would cost you.
Got the phone, seems good and my friend picked up, it is an international one x not one xl as I thought, phone is very nice
thanks for support
