Every phone support 3G
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Free mobile app
All have quad band 2G
D6603, D6633, D6643, D6616 have penta-band 3G.
D6653 and chinese models (L55t, L55u) only have quad band 3G(1/2/5/8), missing the AWS 1700mhz band 4.
LTE, you'll have to look at your network and see which bands are more important and are supported
The 6603 has more bands than this! For LTE that is.

Yup of course every 4G phone has a 3G band but i meant that i found a multiple model numbers and they all support 4G.

If you look at the manual it says 4G.

(if you are saying 4G = LTE, then yes)
but LTE is a lot more fragmented than 3G (penta band will cover almost all networks), 2G (quad band will cover almost all networks)
that's why it makes sense to say: quad-band 2G & penta-band 3G support = cover most people

Could anyone confirm bands from 6653?.

Just an FYI. I have D6653 flashed with D6603 rom and it kept all of the same bands

Does'n it affect anything else?, I know the bands are hardware related, so it could be nice to flash a 6603 rom. I'll try that. thanks :good:

Hi,
Do you know if it is possible to unlock LTE band 4 on D6653? I need to use that band with my carrier and the phone doesn't include it.
Thanks

I have a D6653 as well, wanted to flash to D6603 so I can us a AWS carrier (and root)

NO, bands are not unlockable, they are HARDWARE, so, wichever rom that you flash, they will keep you the same bands.

I don't see why not.
D6603 and D6653 have exactly the same hardware. Bands restriction can be lifted if those restrictions are by software.
Edit:
Flashing another ROM might not lift bands restriction, but manually editing system props might do the trick.
Have a read of the link I posted.
Hi all!!
I had a Z3 as an upgrade from my carrier, but in the short time I owned it (4 weeks tops), some idiot in the Gym dropped weights on it and near as damn it snapped it in half!
Sadly I had no idea till I got home and checked my bag, so couldn't collar the idiot!
So iv had to claim on my insurance, but they don't stock Z3's.
This means they have given me cash to buy myself one, which is fine with me haha
BUT, when I'm looking online for a new Z3, in getting 2 different codes for them, D6603 and D6653.
Is their any difference?
If so, which should I go for!
Cheers for your help
Keith
The differences are their network capabilities:
Datasheet:
D6603
UMTS HSPA+ 850 (Band V), 900 (Band VIII), 1700 (Band IV), 1900 (Band II), 2100 (Band I) MHz
GSM GPRS/EDGE 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz
LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 13, 17, 20)
D6653
UMTS HSPA+ 850 (Band V), 900 (Band VIII), 1900 (Band II), 2100 (Band I) MHz
GSM GPRS/EDGE 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz
TD-LTE (Band 40)
FD-LTE (Bands 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 28)
So you habe to look which frequenzies you need to use.

Were in in your shoes, I would just get the same one I had before, to make sure it's compatible with your carrier's frequencies. You can just check your box to see which one it was.
T-Mobile's site states "To work in this country you need a device that has frequencies of 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, Band I (2100)." When I look up the specs on the Motorola site it states: GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); UMTS/HSPA+ (850, 900, 1700 (AWS),1900, 2100 MHz); CDMA (800, 850, 1900 MHz); 4G LTE† (B1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17, 25, 26, 41).
It appears to me that I should have no problems using my (XT1575 - US) phone in Germany when I travel there...? Anyone have any actual experience taking the US version over there?
Thanks in advance!

Not Germany but Using US version in UK happily, LTE and 3G. Going to Germany in 4weeks, if your there sooner please update this post, I will do the same
You can always check this site and see on which network your phone will work:

Hopefully T-Mobile works well in their home country of Germany. It's not so good in Japan, where NTT Docomo and Softbank take turns kicking you off their network like an unwanted guest.
