I just wanted to pass on my experience with a 900/1900mhz device on the Australian Telstra network (900/1800mhz) for any other aussie's thinking of buying a US model to save some cash.
I initially bought this with the expectation that GPRS probably wouldn't work, but I figured this wouldn't matter that much as long as the phone did.
Anyway, after a call to Telstra, they told me it should still work fine on the 900mhz band so I setup my account for access to the network, put in the details and hey presto! GPRS!
I did however discover a missing component. The support guy was walking me through the process and asked me to put in the proxy information....huh? Not there! Is this something that has been removed from the developer rom or is it just the Australian XDA that has this extra tab in the connection settings? Luckily Telstra also offer a non-proxy connection so I was able to get around this anyway.

Ok everyone, I am a REAL NEWBIE and I've read most of the posts reagrding the SX56 and Rogers AT&T (Canada) but I really need some assurances and/or specific responses to my questions. Please help out if you can...
I want to bid-on / buy an SX56 on eBay and have it shipped to Canada for use on the Rogers AT&T network.
Do I need to do anything to get it to work on the Rogers AT&T network here in Canada. I understand I can simply use my SIMM card from my existing GSM phone.
However, I was talking with a guy from Siemens Canada today, and he cautioned me about buying a unit from USA because he suggested that they are usually "locked" for use with a particular carrier (AT&T or T-mobile). As a PDA or phone he felt that it would work. But, if I want to access the web, he felt I wouldn't be able to do so in Canada UNLESS the unit is "unlocked" and re-configured for use in Canada.
Does anyone know anything about this? Or even IF it can be done?
I am fairly competent with technology and computers, so don't be afraid be specific.
MANY THANKS, in advance, for all your help.... I really want to get this unit but they're selling in Canada for $800 CDN

The device does have to be SIM unlocked. There are tools on this site to do so if you need to.....and elsewhere as well. If it is not SIM unlocked you will NOT be able to use your existing card. If/once it is unlocked it will work on Rogers AT&T....mine does.
If you would like to see one in action, or see the new XDAII come to our users group meeting in Toronto tomorrow evening (Thursday)

...I'll be the guy with the Guinness hat on.
I'll see you there... are you serious about the Guinness hat? If so, I'll look for you.
Yup!
ACK! I wish I could go. I'm a good 8 hours' drive though, coming up from K'zoo, MI.
Howdy,
I've been using the SX-56 on Rogers for the past 4 months. Actually I just upgraded the radio yesterday and also threw on a cooked ROM and this is working so much better than before.
If I just knew how to make this work with the Rogers GPRS network for browsing life would be GREAT.
I have it set for
internet.com
user: wapuser1
pw: wap
no DNS
but is there something required in the dial patterns?
Anybody have any tips for GPRS on Rogers in Canada?
Thanks,
Jim
Have you SUBSCRIBED to a DATA PLAN with Rogers AT&T yet?
I understand that you need to add the DATA PLAN to your existing service for it to work.
Somewhere else in this Forum I read this... "You do not use goam, simply change that to internet.com and user name is : wapuser1 and password: wap. do not put any D.N.S. or anything. give that a try."
I forgot to ask you...
You UPGRADED the Radio? What do you mean?
Also, which "cooked rom" did you use?
I'm guessing that you need to "copy" the ROM file onto an SD Card and then load it onto your SX56??? Is that correct? What size of SD Card do you need?

Hi,
I do have a Data Plan with Rogers.
I think I need something modified in my Dial Pattern - not really sure how it should be changed.
Anyways - I went to www.yorch.net and went to the Upgrades. i was able to get a new Radio version for the GSM portion of the phone - simply download, hook up via cable and run the RSupgrade that is included in the zip - phone works 1000000% better now.
In the same site you can create your own ROM - i made one and added / removed different apps. Then i ran the ROM upgrade utility - I made it as an EXE and it simply redid my os on the PDA portion - took around 45 min to copy everything over.
I can't wait to get this working properly....

It should work with the settings you are using. How strong is your signal? If you have a weak signal it's not likely to connect.
Otherwise call Rogers and ask them to reset your acount, then wait a few minutes and give it another go.

Paragon:
Are you available to answer a couple of questions over the telephone tonight?
Did I give you my phone number at the meeting last week?
I've had my SX56 working relatively well with Rogers for a few months now too. However, I find that my signal is very weak compared to my faithful Nokia 8390. Do any of you guys have a problem with a weak signal?
I'm using ROM: 4.00.16 and Radio:6.12

I currently have a TMobile Pocket pc phone edition that i recently installed the WM2003 upgrade on, i love it.
Now i hear that there are XDA2 devices out, which sound like better,faster devices. I asked TMobile, and they say that as long as the phone supports GSM 1900 and can be unlocked to use any SIM card, switching phones is a piece of cake.
So i guess my question is, has anyone tried this? I would like to get a O2 XDA2 over the M1000. Has anyone gotten them to work on the TMobile network here in the USA? I'd hate to spend the money on the device and not have it work. Or would it be better if i wait for some (needed?) ROM upgrades?
Thanks a lot =)
Edit: Okay so i didnt type in the right keywords into google the first time. User review here basically answers all my questions:
O2 review at mobilefly.com
Hi, first let me say that I did search one after another thread and could not fins a simple answer regarding this. So please let me know if you know the answer.
Do I need to have the $40.00 data plan to be able to hook up the 8525 as a modem to a laptop? I have the $19.99 which works great but when I hit the dial button it check for user account (name-password) and it tells me could not be connected. I was able to use my blackjack with the 8525's sim and it got me on line with the $19.99 plan so why can't I do it with the 8525?
What are the steps to get this done? I did follow the instruction that came on the CD but it did not work.
Come on people nobody knows or cares to post a few words?
From what I know the cheaper data plan is for phones like the Motorola RAZR. the more expensive one is for the PDA phones like the 8525. On top of that I understand there is a tether charge when you use the phone as a modem.
There is an application you run that makes it a modem and the PC can connect using bluetooth or USB. I recently tested with bluetooth and it works nice.
The key is a modem initialization command that tells your 8525 what AP to use:
AT+cgdcont=1,”IP”,”isp.cingular” (in your case this will be "wap.cingular")
Here's a thread on HoFo that answers your question and shows you how to do this. Worked for me when I tried it in prep for CES last night.

Thanks ALOT guys!
The 8525 is VERY easy to use as a BT modem. You simply pair it to your laptop/pc, specify *99# for the DUN number, and leave the credentials blank.
Works like a charm!
My broadband connection was down at home the other day, and I used the 8525 for connectivity. The Edge connection (my house is just outside the 3g area) was more than adequate (for basic browsing - no streaming), and I would go as far as to say was at par with the browsing experience I was getting with Verizon EVDO.
Hello -
I was about to buy an AT&T 8525 when I went to their support site and read this:
___________________________________________________________
Why update the ROM on your device?
The latest ROM version includes added features that will help you get more out of your device!
What is included:
New Daylight Saving Time rules.
Push To Talk
Cellular Video
"Wireless Modem" is replaced with "Internet Sharing"
_____________________________________________________________
I was planning on using the 8525 on my boat, as a modem tethered off of a laptop accessing the web via the 8525 and EDGE or 3G wireless.
Is AT&T dropping support for using the 8525 as a wireless modem? I'm sure I'll not get a straight answer if I call AT&T or go to the local AT&T store.
TIA for your help!
PS I know I'm a newbie here - but I have searched and I've found threads on HOW to do it - but I've not found one that indicates IF AT&T/Cingular is dropping this capability?
Don't worry, Internet Sharing is just an easier connection to use your 8525 as a modem. I've used it and it works very well, hi speed and all.
Thank you!
Thanks very much for the reply.
I've been burnt before with phones that supposedly have a feature, but has been disabled by the carrier with their custom ROM.
I can confirm that the internet sharing app on the 8525 is FAR better than using the old modem way where you have to put in dialup number, username, pass etc.
Thank you
Hey - thank you very much.
All I want to be sure of is that I can use the 8525 as a broadband modem off of my laptop with Cingular high speed service.
Thanks again!
