Hello,
Some people told me that HTC only produces one hardware version of XDA / MDA for Europe and America. Is that true?
Does this mean that I can use the bootloader to configure the XDA as a triband device (1900 / 1800 900)? Will my European XDA phone work in the US?
Thank you for your help!
bye

I just took a look at Atrix on Motorola AU and UK and in the tech specs it says
"HSDPA 14.4 Mbps (Category 10), HSUPA 2.0 Mbps"
wheras US and CA has 5.76 Mbps (...uncapped that is). But they do have support for UMTS 900 MHz which US and CA lacks.
Does anyone know why this is the case? Is it different radio chips for different markets or is it just software?
Just software. Canadian phone is a world phone version and therefore supports all of that by default. It's simpler to disable upport through software than to have to manufacture completely differnt phones

No the Canadian and US Atrix does not support 3G on 900MHz, the question is why?

I've been asking this question a lot on here, and I get a mixed bag of answers and criticism by other users ... but no defined YES or NO...
Hi
i want to buy an Tmob AMAZE 4G but i'v noticed that there are 2 types of AMAZE'S with different bands :
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_amaze_4g-4097.php
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 1700 / 2100
or
HSDPA 1700 / 1900 / 2100
HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100
in Israel im using the HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 bands how i'll know that the device is match the bands?
regards
just look at the place you are buying from they should mention it.. ebay seller should mention it and also stores
and if you are in cellcom you only need the 2100 band.
orange and cellcom use 3g 2100 band and pelephone use 850 band
im buying 2nd hand/...
When I was in Palestine, I used my phones and they all worked on Orange. I have my Amaze box in my hand. The T-Mobile Amaze has the 850/900/1800/1900/2100 frequencies. So it will work.

You left out 1700, which it also has.

Hey, did you get the T-Mobile Amaze 4G and use it on the 850 band?
I have windmobile amaze 4g (same as Tmob works on aws) and I have used Sims from other carriers including 850 and works fine. Of course, my phone is unlocked.

Well it will certainly work to make calls, but the main issue is whether or not it will work on the 850 MHz band to use 3G and 4G. That's what I need clarified.
Looks like your question was answered. In the future, all question related threads belong in the Q&A section only. Thank You.
Thread Closed.

Hello. i was on GSMArena and came across this
I see it says HSDPA 1700 / 2100 / 1900 - for Telus but does that mean this phone has those frequencies? Cause i thought this was for the telus people?
Anyone? im a bit confused..
That is the supported frequencies and carriers around the world uses that.

So the i9100 supports the 1700 band? So if I unlocked it I could get 3g service from T-Mobile here in America?

Well, yes and no, but really no for what you're asking.
The i9100 does NOT support 1700mhz for UMTS, but does for voice. So as a result, it does NOT get 3g on T-mobile, since T-mobile in the US uses AWS for high speed packet data, which requires BOTH 1700 and 2100 for 3g/"4g".
I wouldn't trust that GSM Arena spec page.

Thank you so much im finally nt confused. lol. Thanks for the info!
Hi guys,
I live in Vietnam, but do love Optimus G and intend to buy an at&t model. So, I wonder if I can contact via email with at&t to get my unlock code (I will buy one from Amazon and have it shipped to Vietnam). Is it possible, for free or with some extral fee?
I also found some sites that give unlock code for about ten bucks or even for free, but's I'm still confused if that at&t will work normally as an international version on Asia's GSM netwoks or not.
Could you guys confirm or give me suggestions? Thanks a bunch!

From AT&T's site the phone works on GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 MHz (link)
According to a couple of sites, Vietnam has both 900 and 1800 bands available...
