You can.. a few places here in Toronto have it in stock, but it is the Asian verision and the radio will not supports rogers 3g. You will only be able to get so so GSM quality for your calls, and slow internet.
With the addtion of Roger's high priced data plans and the early performance problems of the current verision of the Diamond.. i sold mine.. and still use my old trusted HTC 3600P...
Going to check out the Iphone 3G today...
Hello,
I just heard telus is going to release the CDMA version of the HTC diamond:

Any of you guys bought the unbranded Diamond that are using it in Canada? (Rogers, Fido) ? Are you able to take advantage fo the 3G network or no? Trying to figure out if I should wait for a possible North American release (not the Telus Diamond) or if it really matters at all. (North American one might have more ram??)
Thanks!
Anyone? :|
I'm on Rogers. Got my diamond last week and upgraded with the Diamond Project V2 ROM for quad-band. Don't have a data plan (too expensive), and only use wifi, but the phone has shown a G on the status bar once in awhile. Don't know if that means it's available....
I've had a diamond on Rogers for about 6 weeks now. No 3G, even with the newest ROM's. It does get EDGE (E) in most places in Toronto, and GPRS(G) elsewhere.

Hmm ok, not that I use 3G much (I usually disable it for battery reasons), but maybe I shall awhile just to see what happens. I'd like the option of 3G.
Thanks guys!~

Hi
You can use it with some networks (Not CMDA) and you´ll loose 3G pretty sure (Unless htc develops an american version)
However I´m using my Uni in Mexico since 2005 and works well on my carrier (www.telcel.com) and I can´t connect to 3G, but personally not care as long as I have WIFI or WIMAX wich I do.
Good day,

Thank you for your answer...i know people with a htc tytn II (european version) and they are using at&t but the 3g doesnt work...I'm sure at&t and t-mobile will work but not verizon am I right? Thanks!
For usa: 1900/2100=3g - 1800/1900=no 3g

Yes sir, you are right. Verizon, Sprint and others use CDMA technology, wich is different from AT&T, T-Mobile, etc. that use GSM. If you don't know how to tell the diff, it's pretty simple....SIM card=GSM, NON SIM card=CDMA.
Also the US network uses UMTS/HSDPA (850/900/1900/2100 MHz), while the European network works on 850/900/1800/1900 MHz.
So, if you buy the touch pro2 you won't get 3G in USA, unless AT&T come out with......let's say something like "FUZE 2" or I read somewhere that the name was revealed already (but don't remember).
Yes i have a question concerning about the 3G network for AT&T. I have read alot of sticky's, threads new and old and can't seem to get a definite answer to what i am looking for. I really didnt want to post this, but i have searched everything by going into the search tab at the top. So i was wondering does the version Diam100 from EU/Asia have the hardware to support 3G for AT&T. I know it says it in the tabs on the phone that it can recieve the 3G band, but i have read its the hardware that can't but they werent sure. I've also read that some people say it needs a newer radio and/or ROM to get 3G. I really dont want to flash a new radio onto my phone if i dont need it. Can someone so kind as to tell me if it is or it is not capable so i can decide to keep the phone or not.
Thank you ever so much,
Xero
EU/Asia diamond won't work in US, i even tired swapping a US radio into a Euro Diamond and still didn't work. Only US diamond with US radio will give you 3G.
Hope it helps.
Kinda figured. But how bout this. Can anybody answer this its most likely a no but im just curious. Can you add/change the hardware from inside to receive 3G? And if so how? I know the answer is a no but someone might of done it or figured it out without messing up the phone.
us vs north america

I see these for sale on Ebay:
Sorry can't post a link as yet but it's listed as:
HTC Touch Pro2 Tilt 2 T7373 from the Vendor cellphoneforever
It says it will work on AT&T here in the USA but will there be anything missing that will reduce or cripple it's use on that network like 3G functionality?
Thanks.

Doubt the 3g... Should work on att
What do you mean by doubt the 3g?
Im new to this community.
I Really got interested in WinPhone7 after watching the HTC Trophy add on a webpage.
My Motorola Cliq is getting slower and slower, and i just got a $400 gift in cash for my birthday.
I Was thinking on spending it on this wonderful phone (the HD7), i have seen a couple reviews.. and all i just can say is WOW! (in a good way).
The problem is i cant seem to find a version of it that supports my local 3G Radio (850-1900).
You guys can either tell me if i can buy the regular 900-2100 and maybe change the radio (in my Cliq it was posible ) or where i can find a variant of the HD7 that runs in 3G 850-1900.
Thanks!

The HD7S for AT&T has the 850/1900 radio you need.
NOTE: You need it unlocked if you're not using it on AT&T US's network.
Thanks for your answer!
Now, can you tell me where can i find it and if does it has the same prize as the T-Mobile one?

There's a few on Ebay.
I Wont buy the phone until October, so i guess the AT&T Version should be available unlocked easily then.
What about the radio changing? Is it posible?

The radio is hardware, no software will change this. As for an unlocked one, there's also various services that sell unlock codes. Also, as you said, they should be more readily available by October as the HD7S was only recently released by AT&T.

Are you sure? May be I can flash radio from european HTC HD7 T9292 to my AT&T HTC HD7S T9295 for UMTS 900/2100 support? (Original radio from AT&T HTC HD7S T9295 supports only UMTS850/1900, so 3G doesn't work in EU)

Yes, frequency limitation is HARDWARE. software is just how it accesses and transfers data over the radio
