Please help me pick a new phone

Hey you guys. Currently own the HTC Touch Pro 2 AKA AT&T Tilt 2
I'd love to own the new HD2 but I dont know where to find one online for a good price and if its capable of the AT&T 3G GSM bands.
Second phone I'm deciding on is the Sony Xperia X10, and again, I see the only 3G band it can get from AT&T is the 2100 band.
So the lesser the bands it can connect to, the less 3G service I can get? Am I correct?
Thanks.
bump anybody?
You'll need a Telstra HD2 if you want AT&T 3G. As for the X10, the Canadian Rogers version would work on AT&T 3G bands as well.

Thanks Chuck. I've seen the Telstra HD2's and their really expensive at the moment and have to load a hack rom on it for it to work.
What would you think of this Xperia?

That one won't work with AT&T 3G. You're looking for something with 850/1900MHz 3G support. The white version of the X10 on that site would work.

No, T-Mobile and AT&T do not use the same 3G bands. It will not be compatible with AT&T's 3G network. The best you'll get is EDGE.

Buying SGSII in US, using in europe?

Hi everyone,
i have one short question.
I'm currently living in the US for the next few months and my HTC Desire keeps on rebooting and HTC won't repair it in the US, because it's an german vodafone branded version.
Anyways, i need a new phone.
If I buy the SGSII here in the US, will I be able to use it in Germany aswell?
Because currently I cannot use 3G with my Desire (carrier is t-mobile), only EDGE. It would be a real bummer if I couldn't use the SGSII to it's full extend (meaning 3G etc.) in Germany.
Thanks for your answers!
Th unlocked Europe version is compatible with both Europe and US 3g radios.
ya well, but i want to buy it in the US and use it in europe. Not the other way round.
I think that's what he meant.
Never live in the past but always learn from it.
Could just buy Europe version online.

That's what I meant... Plus there are a stores in the US that will sell it.
gs2 unlocked version is quadband 3g 850, 900, 1900, 2100mhz. i'm assuming german is 900mhz. so you can use 3g in anywhere except tmobile usa (1700mhz).

SGS2 ATT usuable in Germany with o2?

Hey Guys,
I am situated in Germany and in my opinion, the ATT Versions of the S2 is the most beautiful one. My carrier ist o2.
Is it possible to buy a S2 ATT via the US Ebay and use the phone without any restrictions in Germany?
I guess I need to root it first, then unlock it and then I am good to go? Are these thins easily and safely to achieve? Is it that simple? What about the network, is the american version compatible with the german network? Can I use hsdpa?
Any other restrictions?
Thank you in advance.
the usual problems with US phones in europe... no 3g, but if your only there short term, it may be worth picking up, otherwise just get the euro version with the correct bands.
also i havent checked but there may be a quad band umts unlocked
AT&T version only has tri-band (850/1900/2100) HSPA+ radio. So if your carrier O2 uses 900 band for 3G service, your phone will only work in 2G mode.
International version of GS2 has quad-band HSPA+ and it works everywhere.

Did you try any T-Mobile US phones?
Hey! Found your question on Google, and I felt like I had to answer this.
Did you try any T-Mobile US phones? When I go to the Dominican every summer, I bring a T-Mobile phone and I get a 3G signal instantly, even when I'm in Mao Valverde, and as you know in El Cibao, the signal drops from 3G to GSM especially as you leave Santiago or any metro city. Yes I am using Orange Dominicana, I'm in the Dominican right now, I searched on ebay and found the HTC Sensation unlocked used for $155. If you search on the Orange site I found the Samsung Galaxy S2, this is a good phone too, sold on AT&T here in the States. I hope I helped you! P.S.- Lmaoo at your friends wanting to change from a blackberry to an Android device, my parents and my friends are doing the same either with Android or an iOS device.
Hey guys.
I'm Dominican and bought an ATT GS2 but 3g doesn't work on it.
Can you guys help me.
Don't know if I have to flash a new modem on it or what.
Return it! or go to Claro

It just wont work with Orange Over 3G because Orange provides data over the 900Mhz Band and the AT&T version does not support it.
Claro does support the 850Mhz which your phone runs perfectly so if you switch to Claro you'll get 3G. Also the Galaxy S2 i9100 Global Version (I Have it and it works even with Viva ) might be good for you maybe its too late for a return but who knows.

[Q] unlocked S3 from europe

Hey guys.. I'm in Europe, Czech Republic right now and there is one good deal on Galaxy S3. The phone is factory unlocked.. I wonder, if its gonna work on my Canadian Telus, or Bell... Does anybody know how it works? Is it unlocked only for EU, or all world? I don't wanna have another problems like with my HTC Rezound, that works only on Rogers in Canada, even if I changed Custom ROM...
Thanks...
It's unlocked worldwide. You'll just have to make sure that it supports your carrier's frequencies (it probably does)
