My dad is on Cellular South and looking to get a new phone. They have a Milestone with a slide out keyboard and I was wondering if it is a good device. Is the Milestone Cellular South's version of the Droid I am guessing?

The milestone is a great, although aging, device.
It is the GSM version of the Droid...almost identical.
But for a non-poweruser, the age will not show at all.
If your dad has any problems with it, just come back here and we tell you had to fix it

I am pretty sure this Milestone Cellular South offers is a CDMA model with a slide out keyboard, just like the Droid... not a GSM phone. A buddy of mine has a Hero with Cellular South and his is CDMA.

I am aware that T-mobile uses different 3G bands than does ATT. Most phones when unlocked are left to crawl on edge and cannot get 3G speeds when switched to another carrier. Being as the Captivate and Vibrant are essentially the same phone, would this be an issue. I've been on the G1 since it came out and I really don't like the iphone look of the vibrant. Was planning on getting a Captivate and unlocking, but not if I'll loose 3G.
Can anyone running an unlocked Captivate tell me if they're getting 3g on t-mo??
I would say no.

I believe it was engadget that said the Captivate can get t mobile 3g speeds but not vice versa.
Nope you can only get 3G on the vibrant unlocked to att not the captivate you can only get EDGE speeds on tmo with the captivate.
So basically:
Vibrant: tmo 3G
Att 3G
Captivate: tmo EDGE
Att 3G
So yes it might be an issue for you lol

Only thing I really don't like about the galaxy s's is lack of trackball. .. I really use that alot. Also physical keyboard is a plus while not a must for me.
Sent from my HTC Dream using XDA App
I hear you on the track ball. I almost went with the HTC Aria for that reason. But the Samsung GS phones are just so damn cool it's unbelievable! Really...... get the TMO version of GS and if you miss your track ball after 2 weeks then exchange it.
Well I'm a little mad at my phone I'm going to a 3g only phone because on the tmobile map it shows 4g availible in my area and no 4g struggle for 3g half the time...now what phone should I get?
Tmobile

The defy is a good all around phone. And you can't really break it either. Believe me. I tried. There are some excellent roms out for it, battery life is incredible (I averaged 3 days w\o a charger). It all depends on if you can deal with the Motorola bootloader shizniz. They're not too nice when you update and you're rooted

Maybe wait for the LG 2X as it's supposed to have bands for T-Mo AND AT&T.
(That might future proof you in case AT&T actually gets their way. And not to mention dual core )
Otherwise I say Nexus S
I know that Verizon uses the non SIM card format...CDMA?
I am on T mobile and have a relative that wants to give me his original Droid. My question is if it is possible or not to unlock a droid and put it on T-mobile?
Id appreciate any help. thanks!

Different radio band with,you can't make it run on the different frequency otherwise people would be using Sprint phone's or ATT phone's on Verizon, or visa-versa all the time. Networks install different radio bandwidths in the devices so you can use a phone that they can guarantee you have a signal depending on their coverage area. Not sure but pretty safe to say here to achieve that in a device made specificly for Verizon not gonna be possible. Correct me if I'm wrong by all means but haven't seen anyone do that yet.

It's simply not possible. The radio frequencies of a GSM network (AT&T, T-Mobile) cannot be detected by the antennas of a CDMA phone (Verizon, Sprint, cricKet) without hardware modification among other things. It's like expecting to get 4G out of a 3G phone; not to mention the network encryption and MID issues.

This dude was probably out-of-country or straight-up lying. I've seen this a lot on XDA.

The answer is NO.
The Motorola Droid can't even accept a SIM card. It's useless to you.
My son currently uses my old Samsung Fascinate, just to play games on and watch youtube videos. It is not activated or anything he just uses it on our wifi, and everything works great. I was wondering if the same thing could be done with the original droid?
thanks
Yes

Yes. A bad ESN just means that it will only be refused by the cellular network it was made for. Since the phone won't be using a cellular network, you don't have to worry about the ESN.

Incredible S is the european version and Incredible 2 (or Droid Incredible 2) is for Verizon Wireless. One is GSM and the other is CDMA respectively.

I don't think so. Besides, both of them have relatively the same specs. So I guess you should just go with the Incredible S

I just came here as an Incredible 2 user to clarify stuff.
The Inc S is the european version of the Inc 2.
Inc S is gsm only with 3g bands for most carriers.
The Inc 2 is the US version of the Inc S.
Inc 2 is a cdma AND a gsm phone with 3G gsm bands for everywhere else but the US. It also has wireless charging.
The 3g WILL work with the JB roms for the Inc 2 just like the IncS.
Its that we got out ics kernel sources late that our development has been slow but we got it so any of you nice folk wanna stop by and develop Please do :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
Hope that clarified

ok so if i was to compare the S with the 2, which would have faster internet? (not taking wifi into account, and assuming coverage is not an issue)

Depends on which carrier you are using
If you're on the same carrier for both, assuming the frequencies the phone uses match the carrier they will be the same speed
