Hi,
I recently bought a T-Mobile MDA Vario III from T-Mobile Netherlands.
Visiting the US I discovered this phone does not support 3G in the US.
My US colleague liked the phone so much, and had a look at the AT&T Tilt. The big difference is ofcourse the missing frontcamera, but this one works in the US on 3G. Are there any AT&T Tilt users here that have tried that phone in Europe and/or Asia and got 3G or HSDPA there ?
I suspect there are different versions of this phone around with different frequency support. Or should I have bought a HTC version, are they possibly enabled to use 3G in both US, Europe and Asia ?
Any hints to enable 3G on my phone while visiting the US would be appreciated !
Regards,
Taco
Umm, unless the Vario III is crippled (in terms of frequencies supported), the Kaiser supports all currently 3G frequencies worldwide - 850, 1900, 2100MHz. I used my TyTN II in Korea (2100) and obviously in the US (850/1900)...According to gsm.org, Netherlands TMo uses 2100 also.

T-Mobile USA does not yet have 3G. They'll be on the the new bands someday (and your Kaiser doesn't support those bands). Most likely you'd find yourself on the T-Mobile network with GSM-only.
If you want 3G in the US, you'll probably need to purchase a prepaid card from AT&T...
I can swith to the AT&T network with no problem, still only Edge....
What I am suspecting is that 3G is on different frequencies/bands in the US, and the european models don't support them ....
Question still remains: has a AT&T Tilt user been to Europe or Asia and saw that 3G worked there ? My colleague wants to buy one ...
Thanks !

The Tilt defintiely works in Asia and Europe. And I'm fairly certain that the Vario III will work on 3G in the US as well.

This is conjecture on my part, but I'll bet that T-Mobile Europe and AT&T do not have a 3G roaming agreement in place in the US...
Hi All,
I currently live in the USA and I have a AT&T branded Kaiser and a Hyperdragon III BlackStone ROM on T-Mobile USA network.
I know that the phone does not actually support T-Mobile's USA 3G network but could anyone tell me if I can take advantage of the European 3G networks with this phone? I'll be travelling in the UK and Spain and would really like to use it as amodem for my laptop when there is no wifi around.
Any info would be appreciated
anyone know?

i'm not for sure, but, i don't believe you will. if i recall, T-Mo USA uses the 1700/2100 bands. by the way, which HD model do you have: the T8282 or the T8285?
I have the T8282 model

so have you tried your phone with a T-Mo 3G sim? i recall reading that T-Mo must grant 3G access to 3G subscribers (certainly could have misinterpreted what i read). it's my understanding that both the T8285 and T8282 models have active 2100 bands. this being the case, you'd think one could at least get 3G service on the 2100 band.
No T-mobile 3g
Both models do not support USA 3g T-mobile.
OK Thanks, I was hoping someone on here cooked up somrthing to make it work.
Unfortunately not.

Hello everyone, I bought my N1 back in Jan when it was first launched with phone-only for $529.
My question is does this original unlocked phone only supports T-Mobile USA 3G? Does it will work with some other 3G carrier like ATT and maybe China Unicom when I trave to China?
Thank you
Original N1 (T-mobile) only works with 3g on T-mobile and will work on 2g only for ATT.
Thanks.
Can anyone confirm is the original N1 compatitable with China Unicom 3g network?
Thanks a lot..
China Unicom 3g frequency is 2100 mhz. The original nexus one supports 2100 mhz. So they SHOULD be compatible. I have obviously not tested this, and I would verify that they work with your own research before buying one based purely on my post.

Technically, it should. Since China Unicom on 2100 band, and N1 supports it as well. However, if you are roaming, check carefully if you can roam to China Unicom 3G network (or China Unicom at all). I once was roaming on one network, but they wouldn't let me hop on their 3G.
I have a T-Mobile version N1 and I'm wondering if I will be able to use my phone in France if just pop in a pre-paid SIM card. I've read a bunch of stuff online that makes it seem like only the AT&T version will have access to 3G and I'll only be stuck with EDGE. Is this true?
Thanks
French 3G operators have license for 2100MHz and 900MHz 3G bands.
Your TMO N1 will work just fine.
