I know the AT&T version of the TP is Raphael. What is the CDMA version's code name for it? I remember reading it somewhere?
Also, anyone know why they code named them differently even though they are both the TP?
Sorry in advance for the NOOB questions.
Sprint's Touch Pro is nicknamed Herman.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but it seems like the best bet on someone knowing a definite answer.
I'm currently with alltel and am looking to get a ppc-8600, however on browsing around i'm noticing the sprint phones are $100-200 cheaper in general than that alltel branded ones.
Is the only difference the firmware and how long they've been out, or is there hardware differences as well? Will a sprint phone flashed to alltel have any feature/response difference?
More importantly, does anyone know for sure if alltel lets people use sprint branded phones that they sell the same model for, assuming the esn # is clear?
Likewise if anyone has an experience with it, assuming an alltel phone, or the flashed sprint phone works, would it be possible to flash over to say, the new sprint rom comming that enables full gps, and still use with alltel?
Edit: I realize i was being completely dyslexic when i first posted this. I mean the 6800. My apolgies.
Hi,
I will attempt to answer a few questions and relinquish what I do know...
I have the Alltel PPC6800. It believe it has been out since early October; maybe a little before. The Sprint version (Mogul) is cheaper because the Sprint client database is MUCH larger. Asides from the Alltel version clad all in black, the Alltel has a better radio firmware that can be installed on the Sprint Mogul. Also, the Moguls from Sprint have been plaqued with Bluetooth issues. My PPC6800's Bluetooth works great. Software differences will include Network specific apps, PRL list, etc.
I know Verizon recently released information that they were going to allow other CDMA networks phones on their network but I do not think Sprint or Alltel will. At least not yet.
Does anyone know if it is possible to use the sprint version of the HTC Touch Pro on the alltel network? Im assuming if i unlock the phone and flash it with the Alltel radios i should be fine, but just want to double check before i do this.
thanks
Uppity
Does anyone know if its possible with this phone? In the past its been done on other HTC phones (the mogul for one)...
I'd really like the touch pro on verizon, but their version of the phone is crippled...
Thanks
Here is the thread i used over at PPCgeeks to get a sprint TP working on VZW

I'm looking at getting a Sprint "locked" Touch Pro from ebay that I would like to use on the Bell network. I know it has to be unlocked. Is there anything else I would have to do? Will it even wok at all???
Thanks in advance
yes if the esn or pESN / MEID is changed to match a Bell phone
Ok that's interesting and just to be sure can i buy a sprint Touch pro with BAD ESN and use my current Mogul ESN to make it work on bell Carrier ???
that would be very nice !
Yep thats exactly what I did.. Got a Sprint Touch Pro with a Bad ESN.. the only difference is I fixed it with a Vogue ESN..

i have a hard time finding a good tutorial to make my touch pro work with the ESN of my mogul. Does anyone know where i can find that information ?
I've found a Raphael that has the following problem:
THE ESN DOES NOT WORK, THUS CANNOT BE ACTIVATED WITH THE SPRINT NETWORK
Does it work in Europe? I don'tknow what ESN is.
Thanks
I heard its possible to flash the radio so it match the US and Canada frequencies to get 3G data instead of EDGE
Can someone Help me. I found a link to the Radio roms but no step by step flashing guide.
I have a european Hero Downgraded to version 2.73.405.5 on Baseband version 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18.
How can I make it work on 3G cause right now I can only acces EDGE. With ROGERS Canada
Thanks to all of you guys (& girls) because this is new to me and seriously, some of you are really talented.
seriously dude, that has been asked several times, is not possible and belongs not in this category.
OK man sorry about that was not there for the past years reading all the threads ever created... I did some search and wasnt able to find specific guide about that...
Forget about it and have a nice day.
i recently read that it is possible on some winmo phones to use the radio matching your network on a different phone. comes with the downside that reception goes down to (i would think) unusable level, because the hardware is not meant to work on these frequencies. it is more of a "side effect" that it works at all. i have not read of something like this happening at all for a hero.
