It will work, but you won't get 3G, only EDGE & GPRS. A slightly resdesigned version of the Hero is going to be released by sprint soon, so get that if you want 3G speeds.

US 3g frequencies are not supported by the hero...
like the guy said, sprint is releasing their own version of the hero with ev-do speeds.

but sprint is cdma, not gsm, so you can't take your sim and make it work. You'll have to wait until HTC releases Hero on maBell and shuns tim, or wait for tattoo (i think it IS comming to tim). Or, just get a sapphire, it's the exact same hardare as the hero and you can fit all of the hero rom on it.

Nexus or Sprint

Will there be a nexus cdma subforum when it is released for sprint? Also if others are interested. I spoke with a sprint rep using the chat feature on the sprint web site. I had read on their release about the nexus that it has to be purchased through google. So I asked if we would be able to use our upgrade rebates and his response was:
"Once the pricing will be declared for this phone, we could be able to help you with upgrade rebates."
Haven't seen or heard the Nexus on Sprint. If so, they would have to redo everything into CDMA instead of GSM. As of now, I've heard of it going to Verizon and Vodafone
Yep it is coming to sprint:
http://newsreleases.sprint.com/phoe...ol-newsArticle_newsroom&ID=1403426&highlight=
It took about two months for the nexus to show up on att after showing up on t-mobile.
Expect the same time frame after it's available on verizon for it to show up on sprint.
Er, they already have. Verizon is CDMA. Android already supports it, and they need only swap the QSD8250 for the QSD8650 and a few GSM parts for their CDMA equivalents.
It won't be nearly as long (for technical reasons, anyway) between VZW and Sprint since they share frequencies.
if I were you and I already had sprint I'd wait for the HTC Evo 4G.
I love my N1, but being this close to the time 4G is available why not wait a couple months?
True... but if you are willing to wait, then wait for T-mobile to release HSPDA it should br faster than 4G, scheduled to come out this year. Sprint Evo is a great phone, but I think it won't get updates as fast as the nexus one, it being HTCs and not Google.

Sprint + Tmobile merger? What do you think of it?

http://gizmodo.com/5585983/sprint-ceo-sees-logic-in-a-t+mobile-merger
Seems like a great idea to me. I have / love Sprint presently, have had Tmobile in the past and they are my second favorite carrier.
I read that TMobile may go down next year

I've always thought Verizon would swallow Sprint, but I think they wouldn't allow it because Verizon would become a freakin giant.
While I love Tmobile + Sprint, I wonder if it would be the straw that breaks the Camel's back at Sprint. We all know how the Sprint + Nextel thing went... And I doubt Deutsche Telekom would really want to divest... But it does seem that Sprint and Tmobile are in a bad position. I dunno, should be interesting.

Why do you think sprint is in a bad position? Never mind tmobile.
JBlaze -- Evo 4G

If you check the headlines they have been bleeding badly. T-mobile I haven't heard much about though.
sent from my telepathic neurotransmitter.
Would that be possible considering -Mobile is GSM and Sprint CDMA?
Nextel used IDEN, neither GSM OR CDMA. So my answer would be, it wouldn't matter.
(I'm from the UK, so not much real input.. but...)
Much the same as what is happening/happened with the OrangeUK and T-Mobile UK Merger here to make one big parent company, although they are operating still as 2 brands of the parent. Should be fine.

amazing!!!!!!!!
so is it possible? I'd love to eventually get the evo!!!
Sprint won't let any device that requires an everything plan be put on prepaid. Pre/Pixi, Hero, Moment, EVO, Epic, Bold, etc etc. Virgin's systems just will not be able to activate it.

^ virgin mobile looks possible but looks like it's for the gsm hero not cdma.
Me thinks that's in Europe only isn't vm cdma in the us?
vm is cdma.
I see no reason the hero couldn't be hacked into their network. And eventually the evo too...

Sprint owns Virgin Mobile so why wouldn't they?
It was mentioned already. Certain phones are restricted.
yeah I called and asked and they said they woyld happily let me use a sprint phone. I sincerely doubt we could get away with an evo. Hero, for sure!
Of course you can get away with a $25 unlimited data plan with an EVO.
eh I bet someone will figure it out lmao
so is their 3g as fast as sprints? If that's the case....wont sprint be losing business...like no ones business?

Anyone want to buy me an HD7

I want an HD7 and wondered if any XDA-member could purchase one from o2 and i would pay them through PayPal and they could ship me the phone. I am in the US and on AT&T
Why don't you just go down to Walmart? They have them there already. Besides you'r on ATT and will get no 3g I thought with one from O2? I believe you need one from Telstra (Australian) network and your 3g will work.

I see the rebel sim cards are being developed for wp7 so perhaps 3g is still in the game if i get a tmobile version. I s being on edge versus 3g really that big of a difference anyway?
oh yeah, it's like swimming in tar lol (edge).
Isn't the phone Quad Band? Surely the device will work on all of the GSM networks?
I hope it's that or it's going to be quite a mission finding the right device to work on the right networks int the right countries.
in the u.s., the only 2 big gsm carriers (at$t, t-mo) operate on different bands. the rest of the world is ok lol, the telstra(sp) operates on at$t w/ 3g, any one else on t-mo gets edge.

Ah, ok
So would the T-Mobile HD7 work on standard GSM bands (900MHz and 1800MHz for South Africa)?

[Q] Candian HTC one can be unlocked for Wind/mobilicity?

I was wondering if we can flash the T-mobile radio on a Rogers LTE enabled HTC ONE to make it workable for Mobilicity or Wind as they are AWS frequency carriers like T-mobile.
Will this work.
Im going to buy one, but it is really hard to find a T-mobile HTC one here.

Theoretically it's possible, but it hasn't happened till now. I'm eagerly waiting for this too! Guys here at XDA are trying hard to make it work (Basically they're trying to get an Internatioanal/AT&T version work with T-Mobile AWS). I'm optimistic, but not holding breath though.
yaaa
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2315880&page=25I'm waiting as well..I hope they can pull it off.
Haven't seen much progress lately although
