I am considering to buy a Nexus One (t-mobile) from the xda marketplace and I'd like to know whether it will work on the Optus network in Australia. I'm kinda a newb at all the different country spectrums and all that jargon. Also, will 3G (+data) and HSDPA & HSUPA work?
Thanks and hope this can be answered!
Nexus One is carrier unlocked. It will work on the Optus GSM network in Australia.
According to the Optus wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optus#Mobile_telephony Optus has their 3G on 2100Mhz. The Tmobile version of the Nexus One supports 3G band on 2100Mhz http://www.google.com/phone/detail/nexus-one. You should be good to go.
Hopefully another Optus subscriber with a Nexus can chime in to confirm.

As someone who used the t-mobile nexus one on Optus for nearly a year.
Yes.

Does HSDPA and HSUPA work?
It all works, there is nothing that doesn't work in regards to the reception and bands. 100% compatible.
Oh alright, cool. Thanks very much. Can't wait to get my Nexus One then!

Yes i did search and couldn't come up with nothing so im turning to my peers for help.
I wanted to know is there a way you can check and see if the nexus one is att branded or t-mobile? If you cannot does the att branded nexus one work with t-mobile 3g?
There's 2 GSM models. One that works with att 3g and one that works with T-Mobile 3g.
yes i know thanks for the information i was asking if there is a way to check which one is which?
AT&T has a different model number under the battery. I forget the beginning numbers but the last three numbers for T-Mobile is 100 for AT&T it is 110. Both models will work on either network's GSM networks but only AT&T's phone will get 3G on AT&T's network.
ok thanks would the att nexus one connect to 3g for t-mobile 3g i know t-mobile use different frequencies but on google they look the same
nevermind the att does not support aws please close

Here ya go.
I'm moving to, not visiting, Belgium in a few months and want to obviously use my Nexus One.
I currently have the AT&T version
Compatible with 3G on AT&T (U.S.) and these wireless providers in Canada.
Supports three 3G/UMTS bands (850/1900/2100 MHz) and four GSM radio frequencies (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)

It does use a SIM card right now and do Belgium cell phone carriers use SIM's?
Is my Nexus currently compatible with Belgium frequencies/bands?
What carrier should I go with?
I have no clue and want to have a bit of a clue when I get there
Thanks!
I Live in the Netherlands (neighbour of belgium) and i can use my phone here, the t-mobile version. and i also can use my phone when i'm in belgium.
So i don't know if the At&t version will work but the t-mobile version works fine, and yes we use sim
Cool thanks.
I'm from Belgium! Nexus one works perfect.

Which version of the Nexus One do you use? What is a good service provider over there for cell?
According to this link: http://www.netcomm.com.au/solutions/3g-mobile-broadband/why-use-3g-hspa/3g-carriers
It appears that belgium is using 2100MHz for 3G so it looks like the AT&T version should work fine (and the TMobile version ofc).
edit:
All GSM carriers use SIM cards.

Thanks for that site, good info and nice to know that my Nexus will work over there! Thanks everybody!!!
Is it possible to get a T-mobile N1 to support the 3G Bands 850/1900 that the bell network supports? I know it is possible to flash different radios with android phones. I am still a fairly new user to android but i'am trying to learn and u can't learn with out asking questions
Thanks,
Ryan
You won't get 3G. You need the AT&T version for Telus/Bell/Rogers. You could try Wind or Mobilicity.
well that sucks, neither of those are in Nova Scotia where i am located
You could always try to look for someone to trade with, AT&T for Tmobile Nexus.
But it would probably be hard to do in person if there is no demand for it in Nova Scotia.
I don't know how safe it would be to trade by mail.
Any plans that Wind or Mobilicity will come to Nova Scotia? Just curious.
You could get it to work on Rogers GSM network but you won't get 3G, I could be wrong but I don't think Bell or Telus have GSM networks so you're out of luck there.
Oh yeah, there is that little snafu too. Even worse.
It will work on Rogers but you won't get 3G speeds.
It won't work at all on Bell/Telus.

So are you saying his Tmobile won't work on Bell/Telus at all?
But an AT&T will work fine on Telus, with 3G as well?
I am considering buying a nexus one for when I switch to telus next month.
Yes, the T-Mobile version will only work on Rogers/Fido with 2G only.
It will not work on Bell/Telus at all, ever.
It will only work on 3G on Wind Mobile and Mobilicity.
If you want full Rogers/Telus/Bell support, you need the AT&T version.

If you're a Canadian and you want a "Nexus One-like" experience on Bell/Telus/Rogers, and you're having trouble finding one with the right 3G bands...
Get an HTC Desire from Telus. Problem solved. If you don't like Sense UI you can flash it with all sorts of ROMs that will make it feel more like an N1, or you can put MIUI on it, or Cyanogen, etc...
Or according to mobile syrup(can't link) the nexus S will be on the big 3 in march
Can someone tell me 100% for certain which version of the Incredible S I would need to be able to use on T-Mobile's 3G?
hey, I also wanna know about this... which is the best option either to buy HTC set in Malaysia, or buy a new one in US??
You want to get the s710e, I use that model on Tmo.
The Incredible S has all world bands as it is a world phone. It is unlocked, and can be used on any network, and can use all 3G speeds on any network.

not entirely true. yes, the Inc S box in your posts shows you can use all world networks for voice and EDGE networks. however, you need the 710a if you want to use at&t's 850/1900 3G network. looking at your picture, you'll notice that the 850/1900 band is not listed next HSPA/WCDMA settings. 710e is what's needed for T-Mo USA to access their 3G network

You are correct. Sorry about that. I thought it covered all 3G bands. I'm actually looking to get one myself for use on T-Mo USA, and the person who told me said it will work for both T-Mo and AT&T in USA, but now I see. At least it will work for my needs. I do have a question regarding the languages. For those who have one does it have English (US)? I'm currently using a Desire HD in the states, but it's only 2G here, and it only has English (UK), and it limits the phone for me.
I have the T-Mobile N1 (1700/2100 I believe) and was wondering if it would get 3g on any service provider in the UK, and if so what service provider(s) will it work on? Any help would be appreciated, thanks
Yes, your Nexus One is fully compatible with all GSM/UMTS providers in Europe - you won't have to worry about supported frequencies.
so I'll get 3g on all of them as opposed to edge?
Yes, you will be able to get UMTS ("3G") reception wherever it is available and will be able to use the faster data standards HSDPA and HSUPA on your Nexus One, just like with T-Mobile US, on all networks.

that's great. thank you so much for the reply
I know you've got your answer now but just so you're certain I live in England and bought my N1 back in January, straight from America on their T-Mobile network. Been using both Orange UK and GiffGaff (on O2 network) since then for 3G without a problem.
cool. thanks for confirming this
