hey, i'm also from t-mobile
Yea, the Thrill can work on T-Mobile if you've unlocked it. However it can only run on its 2G network.
If you want to get cheaper and don't mind the slow data speeds, you can get the Thrill and unlock it.
For me, i bought mine here and it's able to access T-Mobile's 3G network. More pricey, but if money didn't matter I think its a better choice. Its also a safe purchase, I checked them out and they have a real store and certified by the Better Business Bureau
Unlicked = LoL
Anywho, if you want this phone but want Tmo bands then get the Optimus 3D.

Be careful though, because the Rogers branded Optimus 3D (marketed as the Optimus 3D as well, no cheesy marketing name like 'Thrill') does not have T-Mo's 1700 band. I believe the international Optimus 3D does have the proper bands though.
Getting a Rogers O3D would be quite difficult to even get.
Awesome. Thank you for the input. One more question, you mentioned something about the bands. Can they be flashed like Roms or am I wrong? I no Tmobile is on the 1700 and att is at 1900 if I'm not mistaken.

Not all the unlocked Optimus 3D that you find internationally supports T-Mobile's 3G network.
Search around and make sure you pay attention to the 3G network bands. Don't worry about the 2G Network bands because those are bound to work for both T-Mobile and AT&T. Just make sure the one you purchase includes 1700. If it helps, the ebay link I gave earlier is where I got my phone.
Also the bands can't be flashed through a rom. The bands are from hardware... you're stuck with it once you purchase your phone.

Pretty much I was gonna say.
Eventually there will most likely be an Unlock Solution for this phone that doesn't cost money persay unless you want to donate. As it stands you could always contact one of those remote unlocking sites and get it unlocked. Either way though there will most likely be an unlock solution it's just too early in the game to get it for this phone.
Awesome thanx for all your support and questions answered. I'm going to check that link out for sure

Seems like atrix hd has proper bands to do so.

Only if we can unlock it.
I didn't check the article, but I know AT&T uses the 1700mhz band for their LTE. Unless there is a modem we can flash similar to the Note or Skyrocket, you want get the fast connection on this phone. But I could be wrong.

any confirmation on if this will work?
has anyone been able to confirm this phone will work on Tmobile with HSPA+?
Yes. It gets T-Mobile HSPA+21, not 42. I'm running it.
Please search. Already a thread about this in Q&A: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1794309 . On the first page, too.
Thanks for confirmation. 21mb/s is good enough for me. That's the internet speed at my house lol

Got it for $190... can't buy anything without negotiating
its in pretty good shape.. not perfect, but after i throw a case on it and screen protector, good as new.
Any suggestions on where i should unlock this thing? suggestions for a case?

Im in bulgaria at the moment and they'll be receving the phone on april 15th.. and the shop i've spoken to say it will be unlocked, but what if it only works in bulgaria while im here and when i leave and go back to USA, it doesnt work?
Cuz i know they have the developers edition but only in states, but i wont be back for another 6 months for that...
so it'd be nice to find out somehow if its locked to some network/region or ok to use worldwide!
It's a world phone, in terms of GSM, but the States have different LTE bands.
LTE won't work
So does that mean my data connection will b non-lte? I but I'd still get hspa in states rite?
And make phone calls lol?
Cuz I don't wanna buy the phone if it's not gonna work worldwide since I travel a lot

Whats your US network? Someone has bought a Europe phone and uses it on AT+T with no problem, just need to disable fast dormancy.
Actually, heres the thread, I'm not sure he fixed it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2210488&highlight=verizon
I'll prolly be using tmobile in the states, but I've seen the people from Pocketnow and phonedog etc... And they use the international phone on att or tmobile without signal issue.. Only they've to sacrifice the LTE
So my guess is that person's phone mite have bad coverage near where he lives..

Not by default, but you should be able to request AT&T to unlock the device while on contract with them like you would with any other device, at which point you could get a micro sim from T-Mobile instead. You would likely need to pay an ETF to AT&T though, if you want to terminate your service with them after buying the phone, assuming you bought the phone on subsidy/contract.
Well I just called At&t and HTC they are both not able to unlock.

Did you purchase it off-contract? If not, they definitely can't unlock it for you. However, if they did, I'd call back in a few weeks. IIRC it takes a bit before they get unlock codes.
not unlockable at "first", haha.

This device is exclusive to AT&T for the first month of its life, later to be released to T-Mobile and Verizon I'd wager.
Until this exclusivity is up, the phone will remain carrier-unlockable.
(excluding those unlocking websites, not sure about them.)

Do you know if T-Mobile had refarmed the 1900 band in your area, or do you think the First actually supports T-Mobile HSPA bands (like aws 1700)?

Also hoping for clarification
Definitely wanting this phone but not trying to pay $80/mo. at AT&T when I can go prepaid at T-Mo. There's some confusing overlap between bands that I'm not entirely sure how to take apart. Here's from GSMarena's specs:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 - for AT&T
4G Network LTE 700 / 1700 / 2100
Is there a band-limited version specifically for AT&T? And does the lack of 1700/2100 in 3G networks on the First prevent that from working?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-Mobile_USA#Radio_frequency_spectrum_chart
For those wondering - AT&T is selling this guy for $350 in store, no contract right now. If you bring in an older working smartphone (I have one or two lying around) they'll give you $100 off - so that's $250. Sign up for their cheapest talk-only plan, $25/mo, then cancel right away and take it on over to T-Mobile, you got yourself a nice $50-$60 plan, and according to the T-mo guy, LTE and everything. I'm about to pull the trigger this weekend.

I'm thinking of getting the First as a 2nd phone so that when my Nexus 4 is dead or charging I can use the First and just move my T-Mo SIM between them. My job requires i do a lot of phone time, I wish they had a better battery for the N4, I love it but it feels like a small battery.

I've read that that the 1700 and 2100 are needed for data to work. I've compared a lot of phones on phonescoop and all the T-Mobile phones have 17 & 21 frequencies.

Thought I should just update to say that my AT&T First works just fine with T-Mobile, once I put in the correct APN settings (which may differ for your area? best to google).
Paired with their $30 100 minute /unlimited everything plan, this is looking to be a real solid setup.

When you say "it works fine," do you mean "I can make/receive calls/messages" or "I get 3G+ speeds, plus all the other stuff". ANY phone that takes a sim card will "work just fine" with T-mobile, but that's not the point of having a smartphone.
I'm guessing the only way to get "4G" is if you live in the refarmed areas.

Somebody explain me that its worldwide phone with GSM and CDMA modyles,buy i am not sure,for example Samsung S3 Sprint cannot work in Russia.
A lot of the newer Sprint are CDMA only, not GSM. Some of the newer LTE devices are GSM capable, and out of the box will roam on GSM networks outside of the United States. You have to get them unlocked to use a local sim card in the device, and as far as the HTC goes, I "think" only Sprint can unlock it at this point unless a dev figures it out.
