USA Version - Official Waiting Thread

This thread will be for anyone who has specific info on the release of the USA version of the Diamond (DIAM200) with US 3G bands.
I'll start... so far this is all I've seen. It's a start, but it's from May 9th so who knows what's changed by now, and a price range would be nice.
http://msmobiles.com/news.php/7344.html
If you know anything... post it here!
I have heard that it might not be till August/Sept before the USA version is released...i cant remember the site where i read it from but the person did say it could be end of summer before the American version is released.
I have the Diamond now..pending some performance fixes, I will be grabbing the US model when its released!
Its coming in July.... Early July... mobilecityonline just got back to me with this info and they will have it! They will also get the touch pro one month after the euro version comes out.... Not too bad.

yes they told me the same thing.....i hope it turns out to be true.
This is one of the things that bothers me about the Diamond. Here in Brazil HSDPA bands are 850 and 2100 MHz, so we will probably need a specific model.
Did they happen to say what US bands will be on it? ATT or Tmobile? Contract is up in August and replacing my wing with a touch pro one way or another

99.9% chance it'll be ATT USA Bands (850+1900) like every other HTC NA model out there...who knows though, maybe they'll throw the 1700 on there for ****s and giggles but I doubt it!
Has anyone tested the UK model to see if it actually has 850 on it and working? It wouldn't be the first time...
Just curious.

If i recall correctly, someone did check and it doesnt come with the 850 band on it...this is the asian version though. The proper UK models havent been released yet in the UK...next week is what they are saying.
If you have bought a diamond recently from Expansys or ebay, then its not a UK spec model but a grey import from Hong Kong ie its an asian unit.
I hope this includes the Raphael as well.
The GMS bands of the phone work fine in the us?
It only supports the 1900 band, right? Is there complete coverage in the US?

ATT you will have problems with this phone as much of their network, including NYC, is only 850mhz. Tmobile USA however is 100% 1900 w/ Full EDGE so you should get a good experience with this phone on Tmo!

What a damn letdown.
I work for tmobile and i have confirmed that the diamond will be available through tmobile... but not until the 4th quarter. No exact date and thats all i could get the htc rep to spill.
t-mobile US?
yes tmobile us
4th Qtr. 2008 that sucks...
I, couldn't wait for the US version, so I ordered mine last week & it was sent from Asia. The phone works great with T-Mobile, EDGE is pretty quick & voice calls are crystal clear so far.

3G Diamond for sale (Canada/US)

Hi guys,
Well, the shop that originally sold me the GSM Diamond has exchanged it to the proper 3G unlocked version.
Do not want to go through the bother with shipping back to Japan and dealing with customs. Besides I pre-ordered my Touch Pro with expansys
Thus, I have a new 3G model up for grabs. I paid 750 Canadian for it. Will let it go for 650 CDN.
Thanks.
This would be 3G on Rogers Network? Are you sure of this?
Has it been opened our used yet?
There is no network associated with this. It should be an HTC Retail version that is 3G capable hardware wise. Weather you choose to use it in a 3G network area is up to yourself.
It would be unopened but to be honest I have asked my friend to open it and make sure that it is the correct model that the shop is exchanging for me. So, in actuality it will be opened but unused. He is just going to make sure it is indeed unlocked and 3G.
The reason for this is when I orginally bought the diamond from this shop before returning to Japan they gave me the Indian GSM model, which they are not exchanging as mentioned.
I guess if it is a huge issue to anyone I can ask him not to open it and go by the specs on the box. Buyers choice. But, I need to know as the new one should be in by Thursday.
thx
Careful potential buyers, there is no Diamond, with any ROM, that currently supports North American 3G bands... Only 900/2100mhz. Does not have the hardware necessary to do so.
Thanks for that. Perhaps the best thing is for me to ship it back to Japan and sell here. Not sure if this can be included in any future radio/rom update/upgrade at this point.
But it is the 3G version but as mentioned about supports 1900/2100 frequencies.
Currently:
HSDPA/WCDMA:
*
Europe/Asia: 900/2100 MHz
*
Up to 384 kbps up-link and 7.2 Mbps down-link speeds
Yeah, didn't wanna be a jerk and get you out of a sale, but people should know what they're buying. I'd ship it back to Japan if I were you, that's probably your best bet (unless someone would rather have EDGE on their Diamond now than 3G on it in a few months).
np,
I would just recommend that anyone thinking about it read the specs on the HTC site for the current model.
thx
I'm gonna keep this thread alive for the next 3 days, then it will be closed and cleaned up!

US user buying Australian Diamond?

I'm a US T-mobile user. I will be traveling to Australia on business this week.
If I buy an unlocked Diamond in Australia, will it work in the US?
Also, will the GPS work here without any support from T-mobile?
Thanks,
Craig.
Why not just buy a US diamond from bestbuy or various online retailers? GPS will function independent of carrier support. enjoy your trip!
Well Duhhh! I didn't even know BB was selling unlocked diamonds. I didn't want a Sprint contract and didn't want a chopped down one from Verizon.
Thanks!

U.S. members waiting for the HTC Incredible S

I don't know how long it's going to take or if the price is worth it but Negri Electronics has the HTC Incredible S available for pre-order. $629.50 is a bit steep for me but I am still tempted to get one.
The pictures they use are for the Droid Incredible and the specs don't mention AWS support but that could be because whoever made the webpage for it didn't know any better. So, in case anyone is interested, here is the link:

This is the cheapest I've seen so far. I asked them when they would get stock, but they don't know.
still not sure it working on usa tmobile 3g?!!
It looks like this phone is now available to order as the pre-order button is now gone. Price also went up by $10.
The specs sheet on HTC's site lists AWS as one of the 3G bands:
http://www.htc.com/www/product/incredibles/specification.html
My understanding is that is what T-mobile USA uses.
Pocketnow has received one of these from Negri Electronics for review.

Anyone have a favorite website that you'll go to to buy this phone?
I usually buy my unlocked phones in person, but I'm trying to avoid tax in Illinois...
I'm thinkin of just ordering it on ebay. $600 doesn't seem to be a bad deal... just trying to get myself to pull the trigger over my G2. =\
Anyone knows if this phone from Negri Electronics will work in Europe??
Thank you
Hi-Mobile.net is currently selling the INcredible S for $580. The cheapest I've seen so far: http://www.hi-mobile.net/htc-phones-incredibles

on hi-mobile they are saying 3G : HSDPA 900 / 2100 MHz (3G is NOT Compatible in US & CA)

I notice that a lot of their specs are weird on that site. A lot of the phones on their site is listed as not being compatible with US 3g. For example, The N8 is listed as not working on US 3G, even though it's a pentaband.
http://www.hi-mobile.net/nokia-phones-n8
I'd suggest emailing them first to make sure the specs for the phone before ordering.
I also noticed that shipping is $22. Kinda expensive, but still the cheapest I've seen.
I've never ordered from them before
plemix.com also has it for 580 us
How fast do HTC phones fall in price? I'm on the fence about the $600 price tag for the Incredible S?
Does this site ( hi-mobile.com) accept international credit cards ? I tried to search on FAQs section about that and I couldn't find my awnser.
I already bought it from amazon but this site linked has very suspicious low prices
Edit: the least prices I could find are from amazon.com 619 $ and the lowest buyout from eBay also 619 $ but the seller from Hong Kong so expect shipping fees depending on your countey/state.

nice, the CA$499 price should make this phone widely available for under US$500 for those of us in the US right?

[Q] Convert US to Global version?

Hi guys,
I am from Europe and lost my Smartphone on a holiday in the US. So I went to bestbuy and bought a Moto G 2nd unlocked. I told the lady I am from Europe and need it to work in Europe. Nevertheless now back at home i found out she sold me the US version instead of the Global one and i get no 3g connection here in Austria. (yeah they had both versions at stock for the same price, but now its to late)
So is there any possibility i can get my XT1064 (US version) to XT1063 (Global) by flashing ROMs or anything else? Or are the phones different in terms of hardware and I have now a nearly useless phone here in Austria while being without wifi coverage?
Thanks for any information
Daniel
I'm curious about this also as I'm planning on traveling in EU. From what I've gathered it would be a no on 3G.I would guess it is going to be a hardware problem since the US version does not feature 2100 MHz data.

Yeah thats the exact problem. I do not get a 3G signal cause the US version misses the 2100 MHz band, so in Europe you just are able to use EDGE as a maximum with the US version
I'm guessing that it's only returnable in store if returnable at all. If it's that new you could go the Ebay route and offer a good discount. It may sell fairly quickly, especially with the prices some of those sellers ask.

Sending stuff from Europe to the US is a pain *****, since US authorities check everything. So yeah, i just have to stick with i wasted 190 bucks on a wifi internet only phone
That's probably why it took a month to get a pineapple corer I ordered. It sat in NY for 3 weeks. You can never be too careful with those pineapple corers.
