Question about Unlocked Vodafone in U.S.

Hey everyone quick question. If a T-mobile customer in the U.S. were to order an unlocked magic branded with the Vodafone logo, could they still update the phone and such when the U.S. version hits in July. Say that U.S. T-mobile has sent out an update for their phone, could the person who has the Vodafone version update as well? I am debating about ordering an unlocked magic from Timtechs.com to use here in the U.S. and was wondering what were the possible drawbacks, besides 3G, that I may face.

For the same price (or less actually) as the vodaphone imports you can get one of the Google ION phones off of ebay if you're looking for something a little more interesting.
It supports the american 3G bands as well. I paid 589 for mine.

I have debated on ordering one, but am afraid of possibly receiving just a box lol. Actually the area of texas i live at doesn't have 3G yet, I am always running the E - EDGE network so it really doesn't bother me.

Got one for $400 practically new. Camera is decent but no AF and flash suck ball.

or get the one of the ones Rogers is releasing tomorrow in Canada..

Well, would it be the same version that the U.S. should be getting? if i could find a good canadian website that would ship to the U.S. I may be looking into this lol.

I just received a Vodaphone HTC Magic version and I got the phone to work nicely on AT&T with the APN info. But, 3G does not work. It only shows EDGE. Does anyone know how to get the 3G to work? Or, is there a ROM that I can flash to?
Let me know -

No since it has different 3G radio.
Rogers version will work since it has the same 3G bands as AT&T (850 and 1900).

Hey, wait....so since it has the same bands as AT&T...would that be the same as T-Mobile? Any one know a good canadian retailer who ships to the U.S.?

HTC Touch HD2 (LEO) AT&T

Hi everyone. I am sure there are serveral threads already on here in which people have asked about the new HD2 and AT&T's 3G signal. I searched around and found tidbits of information here and there so I thought I'd start a new thread and ask some questions that some of us AT&T users here in the states have.
I purchased a Touch HD (T8285) from an Australian seller not too long ago that was branded with the Telstra logo on it and it worked with my AT&T 3G signal here in the US near the Washington DC area.
My question to everyone is, is there a Telstra version of the HD2 currently available that will also work with the AT&T 3G signal? I see that there are a bunch of vendors in the UK that are selling this phone and I believe they won't work with our 3G signal here but is there an Australian one that will?
If so, where can someone buy or preorder it from? Any help is VERY MUCH appreciated.

That's the answers we're waiting for (the other being that whether it'll come to AT&T at all).

Well any news is good news. Unfortunately we don't have any at this time. I read somewhere that Telstra is currently testing this phone on their Next G network and is hoping to have it Q1 of 2010 which is the same timeframe as when T-Mobile is going to get it. I can't wait that long.

I Live in the US - Could not Wait Bought HD2 Euro Version - WOW
Couldn't wait until Q1-Q4 of 2010... The phone is unbelievably fast. So fast that being on a Slow EDGE connection speed and toggling to WiFi is almost not noticeable? Windows 6.5 runs really nice, there is absolutely no lag(AT ALL). A Running talley of open applications without lag is 40 apps. Big hitters like you-Tub, GoogleMaps, Acrobat, Opera, MorphGear, TCMP player, IE, TombRaider 3d. Digital Compass, Mobile Market Place, Remote Desktop, Bing... they just all run and the phone is super snappy? I have not had the phone crash or had to reset because of the Windows Mobile 6.5 OS freezing up, WHICH IS A WINMO FIRST...
Coming from the Resistive Touch HD screen, I think my only complaint so far is actually the Capacitive touch screen... It takes a second to get used to this. It's not bad but I find myself having to do things a few times...Dude typing with the onscreen keyboard is little hard because of the multiple touch input... Using your finger as apposed to a stylus is a big change...the HD2 doesn't have a stylus so, it's sort of a trial by fire...
Over all the device is crazy awesome, and It will definitely be the Gadget of the Year If it hits US 3G?

There is already a thread on this topic. I am waiting for the Telstra version myself. Interestingly, Telstra has a website. Yeah, who knew? Anyway, they are an amazing resource on which phones are available to Telstra subscribers.

Ok. I have I answer to where you can get the Austrailian HD2 that runs 3G on AT&T. Email [email protected] as they will have this week. Ask for Kevin and say Jeff gave me info and it's yours at the best price anywhere. For real!

They've been available on eBay for a while now. Just make sure you get the right one.

This is already well known and this thread is months old. This is your first post... what made you dig up this old thread and bring it back from the dead?
Also, welcome to xda.

Would Atrix be released in Europe?

Would Atrix be released in Europe?

Yes, it's coming to Orange in the UK.

4G? or 3g? i am from Greece and if it comes with 3g to europe i will buy it for sure!!!!

The Atrix will do 3G in Europe. The 4G on the Atrix is HSPA+ which will probably be USA-only. It does not support LTE.

well it is coming to europe, here in France the first operator to get it will be Orange(date release march).
I doubt it will be a 4g since france will start constructing it LTE network this year, but it will be HSPDA (dunno if it is + since it is still tested by operators such as SFR) but for sure it will be 3G+ or 3.5G

Lol, there's already a site that offers the "Motorola ATRIX European Version" for pre-order. According to them, the retailprice will be $499.99 and they sell it for $399.99. Here's a link to the site: http://www.cellhut.com/Motorola-ATRIX-Unlocked-Quadband-European-Version-GSM-Cell-Phone-30366.html It doesn't look very trustworthy though

The device will be the same in the US vs Europe. The "4G" title is really just 3.5G speed. Since it supports speeds of up to 14.4Mbps, similar to the LTE speeds Verizon will have initially, the device is being marketed as 4G.
The data speeds on this thing will be limited only by the network, so if your carrier supports HSPA+ of 14.4Mbps or better this phone will be fast. Don't get confused by "4G" marketing techniques used in the US.

The HSPA+ 14.4 Mbps is not USA-only. It will work on any provider that supports it (like all providers in Canada)
Of course it must also be on the frequency bands of the Atrix (850/1900/2100 MHz). I don't know if the Euro version will be any different (900/1900/2100 maybe?)

Ah thanks for the correction, I am not that familiar with the Euro market.

I've always been a vodafone man so hopefully vodafone will get it sooner rather than later. Can't wait to get my hands on one!

You'll be able to buy it sim-free from Play.com, Expansys etc.
Expansys have a product page up now, but no price details as yet.

the fastest way is to buy it when it will be availablein the US
in france, there's an unofficial date : june of this year
wait and see

June!? Wow by that time we will be nearing our next release of Superphones. That is really odd considering Europe usually gets the best devices.
Well, if you don't want to wait you could always go for the similarly speced LG Optimus 2x...

Well the plot thickens!

Strange considering they issued that press release and all...
http://newsroom.orange.co.uk/2011/0...otorola-atrix-the-future-of-mobile-computing/

problem is that the atrix is seen as
a weapon against the iphone5, so the providers want to use it "fresh" against the iPhone5 launch in june/july ... so i think we will get it in april/may/june. but hopefully some european providers are smart enough and launch it in march ... because with the docks it is much more than just an iPhone5 competitor ...
... and i also want to see it free ( amazon, ph ... ) as soon as possible ... moto?

I just can't wait to see a sim-free version for sale, this will definately be my next smartphone!

Are there already rumors for a release date in Germany?

Yeah, any news about EU release, preorder?

Looks like June on Tmobile in the UK

Xoom 4G UK?

as O2 are going to be running a 4G trial in the UK - has anyone heard/do you think that the Xoom 3G may get an update like the US does for 4G networks?

Interesting. I didn't know that O2 were doing that!
I don't think, however, that Moto would plan anything based on a trial of 4G from one UK network. That's not to say that it wouldn't be possible to upgrade it in future, I just don't think it'll happen very soon.

Been looking around for some info on the UK version of the XOOM and was hoping someone would be able to help out.
1. Is the 3G version of the XOOM going to be locked, like the US one, or would I be able to import it to Sweden and use it with any of our 3G providers?
2. When is it being released?
3. Is there any stores/webstores in the UK that delivers/ships outside of the UK?

I'm also thinking of buying a Xoom 3G version from UK.
1. You can buy a sim free Xoom from the US also, but it won't work in our 3G (UMTS) networks, because they have the CDMA version in US. The European version should work just fine if you buy it sim free.
2. I have read it should ship on 9 April.
3. I have not found one. As far as i know, there is only one shop that will be selling the 3G version sim free and it only offers shipping to UK (but that's not a problem for me, as i have a friend there).

We're the only people trialling a live 4G network in UK - our six sites can carry as much traffic as an entire national 3G network #asko2

The test was completed in november 2009; it would be strange to run a test for a new spectrum when the bidding is already completed

I think in this instance a test and a trial are two separate things. O2 already successfuly tested a connection but are now going to run a trial, which will probably involve real punters getting involved.

[Q] xooming in france...

i want to buy an unlocked xoom 3G w/wifi but only if i'll be able to use the 3 g in france as well as here in the 'states. it LOOKS like sfr is going to be ok - but when ? and what about orange ? my french is shaky and so their sites don't help me . : (
any suggestions where to check ?

I'm guessing you will be buying a gsm Xoom from Europe? Because Orange is a gsm network.
The Xoom sold in the USA is cdma running on Verizon and will not run on gsm networks?
Is that what you are asking about? I'm a little confused bro!
Sent from my MZ617 using Tapatalk

re: xooming n france
nope, what i want to buy is an unlocked xoom mz601 32gb 3g w/wifi tablet -which i believe works with GSM networks - but i'm trying to find out whether it will work on FRENCH GSM networks. NO mention of motorola tablets on either orange or sfr.
ps btw i'm not a guy, just an out-of-her-depth chick !
thanks for you help...
