Nexus One Wikipedia:
The second version of the Nexus One (PB99110) supports UMTS frequency bands 1 (2100 MHz), 2 (1900 MHz), and 5 (850 MHz), allowing it to access 3G in most of Europe, as well as on AT&T Mobility in the USA and Rogers Wireless, Fido Solutions, Bell Mobility, and Telus Mobility in Canada. The second version of the Nexus One also works on Telecom New Zealand's XT Mobile Network, Telcel's 3G Network and Telstra's Next-G network.

Hey I'm in Canada using the same n1 as you. And I use Rogers. But telus and bell also use those 3g frequencies so you can choose from a few more.

[Q] Samsung i9000 variant for USA and Thailand?

I'm looking to purchase a Galaxy S next month. I live in the USA, but I travel to Thailand every year. I'd like to get one phone that will work on both AT&T and AIS for both voice and data. (3G on both would be great!) While traveling in Thailand, I really want to be able to tether my netbook through the phone.
Anyone have recommendations as to which Galaxy S I should get?
over in Europe + Asia they only have 1 model
they all come with triband 3G WCDMA 900/1900/2100
and quad band Voice/EDGE 850/900/1900/2100
so you wont go wrong in getting any Galaxy S as "There Is Only One" (hmmm... sounds which movie was it from?)
unless you get the wrong Galaxy Lite, or Galaxy 5000 series, or Galaxy 8000 series or Galaxy 7000 series
My concern is the 3G WCDMA 850MHz vs 900 MHz for data. I know that AT&T uses 850 MHz, but AIS in Thailand is using 900 MHz. While it's true that 3G is just starting to roll out in Thailand (limited coverage and all), I would like to get a phone that I'll be able to use when they do get it all covered.
If I get an unlocked Captivate for use on the AT&T network, would putting in a sim from AIS automatically switch the 3G WCDMA over to the 900 MHz band (if available)?
Or is the radio hardware-fixed on this? (I've searched for an answer on this, but can't find a straight answer.)
there is no phone with both 850 and 900 3g...
I think your only chance for a 3G phone that works in both USA and Thailand is the Captivate. True Move in Thailand has 3G on 850mhz, which the Captivate uses.

That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure. I guess the GSM radio is separate from the 3G CDMA radio (since the GSM can do both 850 and 900).

I'll be traveling to Trat and Koh Chang. True doesn't have coverage there as far as I can tell.
Anyway, thanks for the info!
i would buy the i9000m from canada or the i9000t or i9000b from south america b4 the captivate.. captivate.. has poor 3g upload, and no front camera.

As far as I can tell, there's no 3G coverage in Trat and Koh Chang from any operator in Thailand. You'll only get GPRS/EDGE coverage there.

Droid Incredible 2 on verizon

So will the Verizon Model work on T-mobile's 3g bc it is $439 $112 less then the Incredible S.
Here are the specs
* Network: CDMA 800/1900MHz + UMTS/HSPA 900/2100MHz + GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900MHz
It will not work on tmous network. 1700/2100 is missing. In fact, Verizon might freeze the at&t network too

Thank you

Verizon doesn't "freeze" the phone it was actually AT&T

Dinc 2 will not work in the US. It has been locked out of both ATT & TMO. European and Asian 3G bands are 900/2100. The Dinc S version works on TMO 4G. I have it. If you are buying make sure you get the version that says AWS on it.
The model S710E is the one that works on T-Mobile 3g network ... keep in mind if youre on tmobile , bell and Verizon version don't work on T-Mobile ..
I hope there would be more phones made like this one that can take advantage of tmobile's tzone/web2go. The only reason Iam considered the IS is because of its AWS band.

[Q] A853 Telus Milestone in Australia (NextG)?

Hi,
Can anyone confirm that the Telus Milestone works properly on the Telstra NextG network?
My replacement phone just arrived from Expansys and instead of sending my original UK Milestone back they sent me a sealed Telus one.
There is so much conflicting information regarding the Telus Frequencies so I need your help.
I need to confirm'
1. The Telus Milestone is quadband GSM
2. The 3G Frequencies 850/1900 will work on Telstra's NextG Network or Vodafone's new 850MHz Network.
Here's your answer to the frequencies I believe: http://www.digitalhome.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=116420
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_Droid
"US Version: dual band CDMA2000/EV-DO Rev. A 800/1900 MHz
European version quad band GSM, UMTS @ 900/2100MHz
N.A. GSM version quad band GSM, UMTS @ 850/1900 MHz"
Both Telus and Latin America (not Mexico) Milestones have 3G over 850/1900/2100 MHz frequencies. You probably will need to manually enter the APN settings for your provider if you will use Tellus stock rom. If you provider uses 900MHz for its 3G network, then it will not work.

LATM - Absolutely.

[Q] can you use the HTC vivid in the uk?

i was wandering if it was possible to use the HTC vivid in the uk?
Sure its quadband IIRC but if you don't have an international plan you will be raped in roaming fees. AFAIK there is no 4g in the UK so you'll be getting 3g at best. I kept my phone in airplane mode and just used wifi wherever possible.
Tri-band

You should be able to, and I'd hazard a guess that you'll still be able to get 3G also, since the Vivid does have the "world" 3G band of 2100MHz.
Forget about LTE, though.

Hi,
Yes it will work with no problems over 2G & 3G, but must be SIM unlocked if you want to use British SIM card.
But it will be problem with 4G LTE, because HTC Vivid (USA)/HTC Raider (Canada) is using different bands and frequencies as 700/1700/1900
Europe standard for 4G LTE is 800/2600 MHz
ATM UK is planning to use 4G LTE in year 2013 Band 7 (2600 MHz) / Band 20 (800 MHz) as standard for the rest of the Europe.
P.S. I've got Canadian version from Bell & South Korean version.
Love those phones
Just can't wait until we will get S-OFF

[Q] Will the i9305 work on the Rogers Network in Canada?

As the title suggests, my parents are currently in Hong Kong and will be returning in a few days. I was wondering if anyone in Canada has managed to test the phone out on the Rogers network? If you are in Toronto, have you been able to receive LTE? I have checked on Wikipedia the bands for Rogers Canada and for a mobile company in HK that share the same 2600mhz frequency in hopes that it may work. Any opinions/answers will be much appreciated!
To make sure you get a perfect answer on network compatibility you may be best asking at a Samsung store or a phone store as they will know 100%

Yes, I can confirm it will as I am on Rogers, and have one of these wonderful devices..
I just wish there was Cyanogen or The Collective for this phone
The Galaxy S3 dual core LTE that Rogers currently lists on their website uses the 1700/2100 bands for LTE, it is the SGH-I747 model. The i9305 is listed as 800/1800/2600 for LTE, which are completely different.
Also notice the i9305 is missing 1900 MHz 3G frequency. Rogers 3G operates on 850/1900 for 3G, so you may not have full 3G coverage in places as well.
I don't think the guy above me saying LTE works for him actually has the same device you're asking about. Just from looking at the frequency bands, there is no way LTE will work on Rogers. If you want a quad core LTE Galaxy S3 that works on Rogers, you will have to wait. The Galaxy S4 is going to be announced in the spring as well, so you might want to wait anyway.
