I realize I'll do nothing but create clutter with this post.... but I am doing it anyway
I've looked at everything out there (in the US)... Diamond, Touch Pro, upcoming Omnia (at Verizon), even thought about Xperia... Nothing comes close to HD, in my mind. But buying it without network discounts and giving up 3G is crazy too.
I am completely bummed out about it. HTC, damn you! Why hasn't someone else stepped up to make phone like this that works in the US. High-res screen, high-res camera, thin, with screen of at least 3.5"? Ya know, so you can actually thumb-type without the hardware keyboard? Even if you have fingers that are bigger than a 7-year-old's? Like a normal person...
All this can make someone go old-school BlackBerry... and they don't have a cure for that...

for you, giving up network discounts and 3G is crazy. for me, those 2 criteria are low on my list. i view it more as a tradeoff/investment to get what i want (not what i need, lol). i used 1 subsidized device in that past 4 years; everything else was/is unsubsidized. my experience suggests that unlocked/unsubsidized devices sale faster and at higher prices. anyway, i resale my phones via ebay and use the proceeds to fund some or all of the cost of my next device. i must admit that i've been fortunate enough to also fund my tech habit via dividends from sporting "investments". we all have our addictions, vices, etc. unfortunately, the phone addiction can be an expensive one.

i agree with you 100%! my suspicions are that contractual agreements between htc and at&t and at&t and "the fruit company" have something to do with the HD not coming to the US. at&t is the only GSM carrier with an extended 3G footprint and bringing the HD to at&t would directly compete against the fruity phone. the fruit company wouldn't like that, lol. now that still doesn't explain why the HD is missing the us 3G bands...this could be due to technical reasons.

with the improved sensitivity of the HD, one-handed or two-handed thumb typing is better than i expected. there's always room for improvement, but it works very well for me.

tried the crackberry drug once and had major withdrawal issues, lol. for me, it's not a viable substitute.
Feeding the addiction, eh? I'd actually live without 3G -- I keep my Kaiser on Edge most of the time anyway, if only it was cheaper. I am just surprised this is the only phone either than the fruity company's youPhone that has a touchscreen >= 3.5" (HTC Universal excluded). Bastardos... the lot of'em.
Answer me this...
I couldn't hold out anymore and I ordered one from the Uk. Now everyday I'm thinking of sekking it for a AT&T Fuze to get 3G back, but this is what I don't get. I had a Polaris, which as far as I know never was released on a carrier here; yet it still ran US 3G. WHY DON"T THEY DO THAT WITH THIS THING!!?

so, if you're selling to get 3G, you must be using 3G extensively everyday? true? if yes, and i was in your shoes, i would have passed on the HD. regarding the 3G bands, well, marketing decisions by someone led them to exclude the 3G bands on the HD. the market has changed (for whatever reaason) since the Polaris was relased. the first evidence of that was the release of the Diamond without 3G. we're just small pawns in the game...
3G remorse
Yes, I lived in Orlando and now NY where both had great 3G almost all times. I am constantly checking the internet on pricing items and looking at emails. I hate to admit this too, but the Iphone 3G was pretty functional for me. I just hate Mac everything so i got rid of it. I just love the screen on the HD though! I think I'm buying a Polaris tomorrow.
Man, if i could get this phone, i could care less about 3G lol. I am with sprint, but am willing to ORDER THIS PHONE FROM ACROSS THE POND, have it shipped over here and getting an At&t plan or something and using the sim card in this phone.....just to have this phone. Knowing me......i will probably buy this phone, a good friend of mine ordered it and had it shipped to him the other day. I am going to visit him for the holidays and will finally FINALLY get some hands on with this bad A** phone.

I went through the exact thoughts after getting my omnia. I lacked the willpower to hold off for the HD. After having having the omnia two weeks I broke the piggy(again) to get the HD.
I'm with US t-mo, limiting my 3G options to the G1, which does does not impress. I'm satisfied with 2G and WiFi.
Ultimately, I'm extremely happy with the beautiful screen and build quality.
By the way, anyone want to buy a slightly used omnia....CHEAP!
ME TOO lol. Im with sprint right now and would give anything to get my hands on this phone. So you have t-mobile? I thought this phone could only run on At&T? Am i missing something, i live in right behind a t-mobile store, what did you do to get your plan onto the HD and get it running? PM ME IF NEED BE

It's a GSM phone, so if it's not locked it will work on any GSM network -- that's AT&T and T-mo in the US.
Ok, so lets say that you can get this phone unlocked here in the U.S. And sign up with T-mobile with one of their plans, could you just switch out the sim card from the phone you get into this phone? Im really interested in getting this phone and am willing to open up a contract with either T-MOBILE or At&t. Im not a big talker but am a big texter. I was looking into the basic myfaves plan but was wondering if you could use the pay-as-you-go plans with this phone also. Any one have any suggestions?

it's already unlocked if you purchase from someone like Clove, Expansys. and yes, all you have to do is pop in your SIM card and you're good to go. i got mine from Clove Technologies and it's working great on at&t. it will even configure your internet settings...
you read my mind cortez I was going to order it from them too. im thinking about opening a plan with t-mobile since they have cheaper plans an I think I can narrow down to 5 people to put on my faves. any suggestions man ever since I got my hands on this phone the other day which it was my friends...all I can do is think about how to get it to work in the u.s.

I've been using unlocked ppc's with tmob for about 2years...hard to beat the price plans, Edge works great, and Gms works anywhere in the world!
So ya i was hoping my G1 would survive till an android phone with the 1ghz cpu was released to t-mobile in store, but it didn't make it. Unfortunately i cant get the Nexus in the t-mobile store, which i think was a terrible idea on google's side, but whatever. What other android phone you guys think would be a great device to have?
got the wife a Behold 2, and its AWESOME.....after i rooted it and put a custom rom on it. The mytouch is ok. reminds me a lot of the G1. Ill never buy a motorola product ever again.......does anyone know of any other android devices coming out for t-mobile anytime soon?
thanks a ton for the time!
cheers!
The HD2? It's Winmo but these clever minds here on XDA will soon put Android on it, I'm pretty sure.
I felt the MT3G is a vast difference from G1, and you can check out the 1.2 version as well.

It sounds like we may be in similar situations, this is what I am thinking:
Im wondering the same thing. i have a mytouch, and wife now needs a new phone. Not getting the nexus bc of the family plan we have, and not gonna spend $500 on it.
Since it does not look like tmobile is coming out with any new (nexus like performance) phones really soon, this is what I think we are going to do, maybe good for you too:
I think we are going to find a mytouch on craigslist (like mine). hopefully for around $150. root it so that it runs good, and wait for tmobile to come out with something good, then use upgrade to get discount on new phone. Then sell the mytouch (purchased from craigslist) on ebay for about the same, if not more...
sounds like we are in the similar situations, so figured i would share about the only option I can see would be good. What do you think? good luck

No, it was a very good idea. T-Mobile would lock it down and not let it be used on any other carrier, without unlocking. I'm sure you know that a large portion (probably around 60 - 70%, if not, more) of all cell phone users have never even HEARD of unlocking. Not being on just one carrier = more buyers. More buyers = more money.

Aside from the CDMA junk, both GSM versions are happy to work on other networks, not just the one whose 3G band is compatible.
I.e., the tmobile3G version is compatible with ATT2G, and the ATT3G version is compatible with tmobile2G. They are both compatible with INTERNATIONAL2G and some 3G.
Further, if you decide to go to.... europe, or wherever, with an unlocked phone, you can buy a LOCAL SIMCARD and it will work IFF your phone is unlocked.
But there is MORE TO BEING UNLOCKED than just sim-unlocked. There is also FIRMWARE unlocked, and with GN1, it is TRIVIAL -- "fastboot oem unlock" is the command. This allows you to load CUSTOM FIRMWARE to the device.... which is not possible with a carrier-branded device.
If you like the phone, buy it from google. They are a very reputable seller.
Expect this in the future though: as 2G dies away, you will start to see 3G-only devices with full 6-band 3G radios -- 850/900/1700/1800/1900/2100. These devices, when they appear, will be universal.

Did you bother to even read wtf you quoted? That's one of the most pathetic responses I've ever had the pain of reading.
Unless I misunderstood what you're trying to say. As of now... That's exactly what I said. They make more money like that instead of it just being T-Mobile. Or are they about to start putting out a different phone better than N1?

No, the Desire is going to be exclusive to Verizon in the US, thus cannot be used on T-Mobile because it is CDMA.
HD2
Heck yeah the HD2 is awsome, even though its not android. Like somebody above said people here at XDA will find a way to put android on it. That HUGE screen is amazing.
If you ask T-Mobile they are sure to say that one of their "lovely" blur devices is what you want, kindly kick their shin and spit on them if they do
and then Toot and, oh, I apologize, TWEET and inform us what phone you got on your way to jail.

JUST FYI, NO U.S.A carriers has been announced for the Desire or Legend and since HTC wants this to be their "super phone" it will most likely be GSM since it will be world compatible (on edge anyway) You are probably thinking about the HTC Incredible (A completely different phone)
Any way I would go with the HTC HD2 since it is a great device and there will be an android rom for it one day and when a great android phone comes out for t-mobile just sell the HTC HD2 (someone will buy it on XDA, you should get around $300 for it if you take care of it)
Get the DROID! It didnt sell over 1 million units in 74 days for nothing. i know you dont like Moto

moto isn't a good company. They been saying for a few months that the droid will get the 2.1 update in a week but it has been pushed back a lot of times. They finally pushed the update but to the milestone (droid's name for other countries) so now the droid users are pissed.
I would only choose moto for an android phone as a last resort because HTC is the brand for me.
WOW! The HTC Legend looks amazing!!

I thought the supersonic/EVO was the android version of HD2.
only thing I like about the HD2 is how big the screen is...yet so thin like a razor, but I'd much rather wait...even if the devs dished out a android rom for it tonight, I don't want to waste my upgrade on a WMO phone regardless of it's value or capability...simply because I'm stubborn
As far as the Desire goes, I believe it will be coming to T-mobile and if not, more likely a universal unlocked release like the N1...but as far as the Verizon only rumor, bullsh*t. HTC would never let me down like Moto did with the Droid
I have had up close experience with the N1, (friend of mines owns it), lovely phone, simply the best Android has to offer right now until proven otherwise by a later release, but I'm not going for it
If I'm going dish $500 bucks or more for something it will most def. be the Desire...because that is what I desire
Do you think we will get an update, and do you think it will come for the mytouch hd?

This will NOT be available to all Android devices. We were told it would be available only to “select new devices.” You won’t be able to get it from the Android market and it’s possible devices will be getting OTA updates to activate the feature. The above image looks like the shot came from the G2, as did our own picture down below. The second shot, however, looks like it might have come from a Samsung Vibrant so it’s possible that device would receive an update to this as well! Though at this point, which phones would receive this feature is anyone’s guess. Then again, we obviously have a great argument for both the G2 and the LG Optimus!

Quote from your link. It doesn't seem so. None of the carriers or handset manufacturers seem particularly interested in pushing new features to older phones, unless they're top-of-the-line, flagship devices that are selling well. It would require them to rethink their entire business model which is something like "subsidize a phone for a two-year contract lock, even though the phone will likely be replaced within a year's time by a few better phones."
They haven't caught up with the idea that phones are becoming more computer-like and that customers expect timely updates and new features on previous models. They're still working as if they're selling you a monolithic Nokia flip-phone from 2001.
The slide is the flagship, anyways can't wait for the mytouch hd, I wanna see it in white

That's possible...but look at the gotta-get trends. Everyone's talking about the Vibrant and the G2, now. The Slide may have had flagship status, but it's already past its peak only a few months on.
As for Cyanogen, I wouldn't count on that as well. He's already been slapped with one C&D letter from a corporation. He's very careful about putting contentious software in his ROMs.
I'd love to see it, but I'm not that optimistic about it on the Slide.
I asked our company's T-Mobile rep this very question. Although we mainly use Blackberries, I personally have a Slide and he says that "Yes I was told that it will be available on the MyTouch Slide."
Reps have been known to be wrong and sometimes tell you what they think you want to hear but he's been pretty straight-forward so far so I am hoping he's right in this case.

If it does work, don't listen to those idiots about it costing extra. When I had my BB, I asked all sorts of queation which boiled down to two key points:
- You can purchase a Call @ Home plan, which would give you an extra bucket of minutes used when making UMA calls
or
- Buy nothing extra, and UMA calls would simply come out of whatever minutes you already have.
My wife rocks the MT3G Slide. We have unlimited plans, but terrible reception at home. I have the MT4G and LOVE it. It came with wifi calling...
At this point I either need to beg T-Mo to sell us another 4G for her or get her wifi calling working...

I believe it would take someone building a kernel that supports it before it would work on the slide.

I hope we get a 2.2 update with the wifi calling as they have suggested, but has anyone tried nettalk? I just recently installed it and it seems to work pretty well with the 3GS. Just curious if anyone else had experience using it. Seems like it covers the Wifi/3G calling fairly well.
Hey guys... been a lurker for awhile and finally decided to join to post. Isn't UMA calling being added in the CM7 nightlies? It would be nice to have on the slide with 2.2.
I installed this apk but it will not connect, most likely as it doesn't recognize my phone number and SIM information. Is there a way to get the system to recognize those?
I like the idea of UMA calling. But I want it to be available on a stable ROM. So far Cyanogen 6.1.1 has been great. Can it only be implemented to a CM7 ROM?
I am running the CM7 nightly and it keeps crashing my phone every time I try to connect to my WiFi @home....

I don't think it does quite yet. A few roms have come out with it, NB, CR and whoever else has messed with the OTA... But I don't think the official 2.2 from T-Mo has arrived yet.
Hello. I'm a noob to the Galaxy tab. I'm thinking about picking one up (i'm in the U.S., from Los Angeles Area) and just wanted to clarify. I know the European version can be used as a phone but i'm unsure of the tmobile U.S. version. From what I've read, i've found that the Tmobile U.S. version can be used as a phone as well but it needs to be rooted? I just wanted to clarify if this is true or not. This is kind of a deal breaker for me and i may just get a huwaei s7 if there is no phone functionality (without rooting it)

i bought mine unlocked for £469 in uk (carphone warehouse) it has been widely promoted throughout the uk. imo, i think that it is a fantastic piece of hardware. the only concern i have with it is the lack of apps. yes, Android has a growing market, bug half the apps are useless. on the ipad, all apps have to pass a test. long story short. if you want more games and apps i recommend another tablet (ipad) if you want a smaller lightweight device go with the tab. web browsing on it is amazing. good luck if you need anymore help you can ask me

Agreed, the S7 thing is just not well made or fast enough to be useful
And what's the big deal about rooting? It's reversible.
You do realize that rooting your Tab is as simple as installing an app from the Market and tapping the 'root' button, right? There's even an 'unroot' button right next to it if you need to reverse it.
Why don't you get asian or european one? in India i got it for approx 700USD, no lock no agreement nothing and all functions working

did not realize that. i've hacked other various devices and was just tired of going through the process of doing so. I wanted something that I could just use out of the box, but if this is the case then i'll have to reconsider. Can you utilize tmobiles 3g or 4g with the euro software?
Hey, I just got the Galaxy Tab unlocked from sprint two days ago but did have to buy a month of 3g. My question is, since I bought it off contract can I use Verizon with it when my month with sprint is up?
also, is there a better way for rooting other than those one click apps? I tried one once for my moto droid but went back to doing it properly with abd because the one click seemed kind of sloppy and half-a$$ed

No, you can not use a Verizon device on Sprint, or vice versa. They will NOT allow an ESN from another carrier to be active on their network. Should have went with T-Mobile or AT&T if you wanted carrier portability.
And don't compare your Droid **** with what the Galaxy devs have cooked up. This ain't a Motorola device, for one thing (thank God!).
I havent compared my "droid ****" to anything...I said that I prefer using adb and RSD Lite over one click rooting apps, referencing to my Droid only vaguely in passing. As for choosing the Sprint version...shame on me for being unclear as to the specifics of various different mobile technologies and their interoperability, or lack thereof. I suppose that is why I casually asked about it here.

Let me begin asuring you that i am the antyfanboy. If something doesnt satisfy me 100% it gets sold within the week. Foolling myself is something i dont do.
So when i heard about the tab i was rather exceptic for several reasons.
1.price
2.no superamoled
3.being samsung after i suffered the horrible galaxy s.
4. In general not many positive reviews.
So when i had one for testing i was pleasently surprised. One of the overall best gadgets i have tried. And i have tried many.
Even the screen that as i said it not superamoled is in my opinión an excellent screen that doesnt have nothing to envy the one i have in my ipad.
In conclusion, if you want or need a mobile device to work on the go evwrywhere with easy, this is it.

Hi guys!
Well just as the title says, im going ot be switching from T-mobile to Verizon, but i am torn between two phones. Either the Rezound or the Galaxy Nexus. I know there has been other threads on this im sure, but i had to post and ask just to get other feedback. All the other threads i have seen just go back and forth "get the rezound because of XYZ, get the GNex because of XYZ" So im a bit torn lol
Any feedback is much appreciated!
Merry Christmas!!

thanks for the reply.....i'm actually getting the phone through work with unlimited minutes, data and texting. Great thing is i get to choose my phone
Anyone else have any feed back or suggestions as to which phone to go with and why?
Buy a used phone on Amazon
Even though the new smartphones phones are cool, most have limited memory and poor audio quality. Another option is to just buy a Samsung Vibrant on Amazon. You can get one used for about $150 and you won't have any contract committments. Its a great phone and you can upgrade the ROM to ICS on the Vibrant forum.

i had a Vibrant, i liked it, but i would rather put the $150 to a newer faster phone. The samsung is for T-mobile, i am moving to Verizon through work and they are paying for the phone so no point in me dishing out money. Besides, t-mobile has been terrible the last 4 months. tons of dropped calls, phone wont ring when its right next to me....my current phone is a mytouch 4G, and its been replaced 4 times......then they offered me a crap Sidekick which even gets terrible reviews on their website. Then to top it off, I have overages because i used so many darn minutes to call people back everytime my call dropped, they wont even credit me for that. So basically they are giving me the FU, so im going to do the same Any who, i hope the GNex is a great phone, if not i may go with the rezound....i was hoping to wait till the Quad-core phones came out but unfortunately work needs me to get a phone so i need to settle with a dual core

I believe we get 25% off phone accessories and the rate plan.....i know it was a number in the 20's just cant remember 100%
Any other thoughts from people?
If your work is footing the bill, get the hottest, newest, most advanced phone Verizon has.
Galaxy nexus hands down.
i know people like HTC but beats audio is just a gimmick.

The Galaxy nexus for the big red form the guy I know says they are having alot of hardware and software bugs. I don't know if I can say it's better than the razr I got to day, but try before you buy if you can.
ya i am hoping to try it out first but i have yet to get my hands on one. We shall see. I heard it was delayed again?
My friend says that all the over heating and software bugs is delaying it.
