Buying a used Revo

hello guys, noob here
Im planning to buy a used Revo..
I lived in Jakarta, Indonesia with network band 800/1900 EVDO CDMA coverage.
can I use Revo in my country? (all the flashing and network registering available with Smartfren network)
Does the revo use simcard?
Im not planning to go with LTE, because its not available yet in my country

no info?

Yes it has a Sim card and the phone is useless without it.

It's useless as a phone, without the SIM.

in indonesia, we usually not using a simcard for cdma network
we called "inject", the mobile number registered through programing by operator (smartfren). like other cellphone which have a bad ESN can be flash to other carrier (MetroPCS/U.S cellular).
i was wondering, will the Revo can be flash and use in indonesia?
*sorry for bad english

Its up to you. The only reason I have this phone is because of the work from all the great devs on here.

Yep, this. This thing was virtually un unusable out of the box. All the devs are the reason I've kept it for so long. That being said, I'm jumping when sprint releases their gnex.

Do what I did, upgrade to the Razr Maxx and keep your Revo as a backup!

Might go with this .. I havent been satisfied with how my revo works since I got it. Thought updates would help but no luck ...seems to me a big memory leak somewhere I can't even run my work app. Without issues and it is pretty rudementary ...my OG Droid worked great til screen died ..not a fan of LG myself either. So we shall see how it goes .....thanks for your input

I just bought my wife a RAZR MAXX and I'm impressed. I'd say RAZR MAXX all the way. The Revolution isn't bad once you get Gingervolt on it though. It's useless without it IMO.

Personally I'd keep the REVO (make sure it's ROM'd) and wait for the Galaxy SIII.

No, the phone cannot be unlocked and used on another carrier.

Even if you unlocked the phone the radios AT&T use are not running on the same Frequencies that Verizon use.

Links or gtfo. The hardware is there (independent GPU), and the power is there (dual-core CPU, 512mb RAM) for ICS but this has been a pipe dream at best, please don't get our hopes up with more rumors. If you have a link, please SOS (Save Our Sanity) and post it.

I noticed they still have left the Thrill out of the loop. !

Something tells me LG just doesn't want to deal with AT&T's basebands for this phone.

And for this reason alone I flashed to a European baseband and have T-Mobile USA now.

LOL. I would do the same as you (Ask for a step by step.) however, T-Mobile gets crap for reception in my town. It's not even 2G in my town, so no point in using it. AT&T in my area just recently upgraded to HSPA+. There is no 4G LTE (Even for Sprint or Verizon.)

AT&T is the only carrier in my town, for some reason that has 3G or HSPA+ coverage.
It's how backwoods my town is.
I myself am connected to HSPA+. When I was on Sprint and had my Evo 4G, I had to go to Boston (Over an hour drive) to be able to test it out. Otherwise I'd get about 600 KBPS or so download.

O lol

I read somewhere on here that the only thing holding up ICS on the Thrill/O3D is a camera app that's built or the dual cameras and ICS.

Unlock Sprint LG Marquee?

I have a friend that needs a new phone and he has a straight talk. I have an old LG Marquee for Sprint and I want to unlock it so he can use it on his carrier. Any ideas how to do that? Its rooted and I have never unlocked a phone but I went to the LG Unlocker website and they require you to pay to unlock it and I am not going to pay for something like that.

Did you call Sprint? It's YOUR phone, PAID for, and you've met the terms of your contract.
The worst thing you can do is not ask...

The carrier will probably have to unlock it.

But will they actually do that for me?
