I just bought a diamond in prague (CZ) and when I was looking through the settings, I came across something interesting...
is this true?
Nope Diamond is not quadband yet - it`s missing hardware for that as I know. Maybe it`s just OS issue that Diamond is prepared for quadband in the future (as USA will need 850 MHz)
and now something private :
tohle tady bylo spomenuto uz mockrat kdybys cetl vice nez psal tak to najdes
private back.... : tak sorry
Diamonds released in Australia are UMTS 850MHz (Telstra's Next G Network)
Just got it today...WOW What a phone....and works on At&t
see ya later kaiser

Bye.
Don't leave sad, just leave.
Have fun without your SD Card slot.
Good news for you. So did you get the 850 and 1900 gsm and 3g frequencies or just the 1900?
have fun with no 3g/hsdpa because itonly runs on 2100 until att wins the auction for 850 (IF and when they decide to go for it) it wont be of much use on the net
Not to spoil your party..but are the fingerprints on the back cover,..messy?
Having said that,...Diamonds are forever...
Keep us updated on the pros and cons..
Cheers.
So far things are fine
One thing I do think is true is that 3G works on my Diamond everything is set to auto and I called HTC and they said that 3G works fine in Illinois but certain parts of Florida, Texas, California have trouble with 3G ......I do miss the sliding keyboard tho......texting is slower because everything is Touch now....I'll have to get used to it / which I'am
Peace

what's all this then?
How can 3g work in America when the diamond does not have the bands for supporting American 3g frequencies...
i'm still waitting on the touch pro...

Because AT&T uses different frequencies in different areas. He may be in an area where AT&T runs on a frequency supported by the Diamond.
GSM networks in North and South America operate at frequencies of 850 or 1900 MHz, while most networks in other countries operate at frequencies of 900 or 1800 MHz. AT&T recommends quad band phones/devices for most international travelers. Since these wireless devices operate on all four of the international GSM frequencies, you ensure the broadest international coverage available.
According to AT&T.
Specifically, 3g runs on 1900.
Now, correct me if I'm wrong (please do, because I want to like the diamond :]), but the diamond has radio updates that all it to work quadband for EDGE, but for 3g, it only has support for 900 and 2100 MHz bands...neither of which AT&T run *anywhere* in America.
Is that correct?
Why did you switch ? Just curious. Something new?

In other words, like I thought, 3g *should not* work.
So if it does, why?
I can't 3G works!?!?
I don't know.....top of screen says 3G with 2 or 3 bars......I switched devices because I love touch flow and had the money to buy it. It does switch alot from EDGE to GSM and 3G ...I have to admit tho that it's on EDGE 90% of the time.
Peace

Ah and that was the only reason? No performance issues with the Kaiser right?
Sounds good dude.

i am also waiting on the touch pro, but congrats on the diamond. now all i wish is that us kaiser users can get touchflo 3d to work on our devices using the new 3d drivers...
edit: i have tw questions to ask you about the diamond:
1. hows the battery life?
2. is touchflo 3d really as cool as people think it is?
Why wouldn't 1900 work, I would understand if 850 or 2100 did not
The video call won't because it is not supported on att but could be used as a web cam right?
Hell, id be waiting for the Touch Pro too if it wouldn't cost 800$ plus.

Going for the budget option, then maybe xiaomi 4i? You can also get secondhand nexus phones for very cheap. The oneplus one and oneplus x r also very good phones.

Nope. Only Rev2 of the snapdragon 835 will have it.
