Tmobile has finaly released 3G in Minneapolis area and I was wondering if anyone is getting it on their Treo 750?

It will not work. T-Mobile uses the 1700 and 2100 bands for 3G. The Treo 750 only does 3G on 1900 and 2100, which is what AT&T uses.

Ok well I am considering purchasing a unlocked AT&T Tilt, but I have been reading a bit about the 3G. Currently I am a T-Mobile customer and have read they will be operating on a different band frequency for their 3G. T-Mobile will be using 1700/2100MHZ while AT&T operates on 1900/2100MHZ. Will the 3G on the phone still be compatible?
Please someone clear this up
Appreciate it
Kaiser uses (under the Band options for the phone settings)
GSM (So gprs, edge) 850, 900, 1800, 1900.
UMTS (3G, HSPDA where available) 800, 850, 1900, 2100.
So it would be partially compatible, but only on 1900 cells, not the 1700 ones. These might co-exist like in the UK where some operators use all the frequencies for better bandwidth, or they might not. I'd check with T-Mobile what frequencies are operating in the areas you'll use the phone.
Well I live in the US and they still have not rolled out the 3G network here, they said sometime by summer. So if they use 2100 then the 3G still should be able to work? Since they still will be using the frequency except the 1900.
hey!
Does anyone know if a diamond bought in the US will work in Israel?
You can go to www.gsmworld.com and then roaming, and then coverage maps. (pick a country)
Here you will see all the various networks in that country and the bands they use. For Israel all networks use 900, 1800 or 2100 (3G).
Since the only diamond you can buy right now uses 900, 1800, 1900 GSM and 900, 2100 3G, it will work perfectly in Israel.
I also want to add that HTC diamonds bought in the US currently is the Europe/Asia version (lacking the 850 band). This will/might change sooner or later.
so i bought a unlocked phone on ebay bout a few months from now. i live in canada, also im in rogers network and everything works fine except my connection. i can only go 2g/edge speed but not 3g!! i have a t-mobile phone unlocked.. anybody know what i can do to get a 3g connection? do i need to install a new image or rom!!!!? please help
You may be out of luck on 3G. To the best of my knowledge, I believe Roger's 3G network runs on the 850 and 1900 MHz bands. However, the G1 runs on T-Mobile's 1700 and 2100 MHz bands. So Edge is the best you'll get (speed-wise).

T-Mobile's rollout of UMTS in the US will focus on the 2100/1700 MHz bands, whereas UMTS coverage in Canada is being provided on the 850 MHz band of the Rogers Wireless network. I think 1900 was added later as well.
My HTC HD is edge (2G only). But I use a lot of WiFi when ever possible.
Hi, I got a new HD7 which is unlocked version from italy, now I'm in US using ATT, but it doesn't has 3G connection, only edge connection which is a big "E" sign.
I checked the italy HTC site that the frequecy is following:
HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
and for ATT HD7S, frequency is :
UMTS 1900/850
GSM/GPRS/AT&T 850/900/1800/1900MHz
So how can I get 3G on ATT?
is it possible to flash ATT's rom on my phone to enable 3G in US?
or it is hardware limitation?
Thanks in advanced.
No, it is not possible to enable 3g on your phone.
3G is HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz in Europe and UMTS 1900/850 in the US.
So you you have device for europe only.
T-Mobile uses 1700mhz for 3G, which AT&T doesn't support.

Can you tell me the differences with the Trill and the p925G and p925H. I live in NZ and would like to purchase a phone that is compabiblywith the XT network from my understanding I should be able to purchase a At&T P925 phone but unsure.
The Bands I'm after are 3G (I think this is also known as UMTS) 850 & 2100Mhz, does the At&T phone cover this, ie if I purchase any AT7T p925 of Ebay it will have these freq.
The main reason I didn't go for the p920 is that is doesn't have the 850.
The AT&T branded thrill uses the following...
GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz
UMTS: 850, 1900 MHz
Ta, do they have 2100?
It does. All the smartphones I got from AT&T have the 2100mhz
