Using the Incredible in Europe

I think I have the best answer to this perplexing problem... a GSM based Mi-Fi device.
The Zoom We3G is an unlocked GSM Mi-Fi-
Amazon linkAnd specs link
Now add Skype for Android for the phone function
You will need to purchase a SIM and data access. AT&T works for North America, but there are many options for Europe. I like the Tschibo offer for Germany. 10€ gets you the SIM card and another 10€ gets you 500MB (use within 30 days). Tschibo is a chain coffee shop all over Germany and their cards use the O2 network - one of the best. click here

Inc 2 is a dual band device...

yep. Inc2 is CDMA/GSM ... anyone know if the GSM is unlocked when stock?
AND, not many readers here would have a Inc2. I have well over a year to go on my current contract.

[Q] Sim lock

Hey,
if I buy the phone at full retail price without contract, is it then locked for sim cards as well? I cant find this information anywhere.
I'm thinking about buying it and take it home to europa. Thats why im asking.
Thanks

It might be, considering it's on Verizon, but I'm not sure if it'd even work in Europe. It is, primarily, on Verizon's CDMA bands and presumably the SIM is only for roaming usage, I'm not really sure if it would work to just buy it in the US and take it back home.
You can buy the overseas equivalent, which is the Milestone 3 and should be available(if not now, then soon). The Milestone, unless I'm mistaken, is GSM primarily.

If I have undesrtood correctly, Motorola Droid 3 works on European WCDMA networks. They advertise phone like "3G works more than 125 countries".
I have same problem. I want Droid 3. I have heard only one comment about Droid 3 Europe edition. It says that Milestone 3 comes to Europe in Q3 or Q4. News also say that it will not arrive to UK.
Only problem on Verizon model is hotspot restrictions and contract needed. I don't want pay 30$ for 2GB, because unlimited data costs 15$, in Finland..

I thought the one for 460$ is "contract free" ? Or what does full retail price means?

At droidforums.net guys want to take it to the uk, sim already insert.
It is defenetly working, my question is now, do i get it without contract?
The thing about waiting and buying it when it gets released at europa is no point, because when i buy it now for 460$ in the us, it means 340€ (if you now a Stewardess you do not even pay taxes and shipping). When it gets released here it might be around 450€, normally they change it 1:1.

Verizon wants to keep Droid 3. Still, if you buy it with cash, you must take Verizon to Operator.
I'm not sure, will BestBuy require Verizon use, because they are Verizon branded.

b patience, it is a global phone like D2G
u need to unlock it via VZ

A unlock code ebay seller told me they get codes for the droid 3 as well.
He has over 6000 evaluations, i'll see in a few weeks.

I have always watched Droids Google and Verizon marks, and I like them(as stupid as it sounds) and if models come to eBay or somewhere, I'll buy it.

Yes, it is SIM locked even if you buy it at full retail price without a contract. If you're a Verizon customer and meet a handful of qualifications, Verizon will unlock the SIM free of charge. Beyond that, the only way to get it unlocked is to wait until some online vendors get codes for it. Once it's unlocked, it should work on pretty much any GSM network outside of the U.S.

Buy Chinese htc one

Does anyone know where I can buy the Chinese htc one and use it here in USA? I really need that sd card slot since I heard that Chinese htc one variants has it. Will the Chinese htc one work with the at&t lte network ?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 2

The SD card and dual SIM came at the cost of LTE support and WCDMA support. It is a dual band TD-SCDMA phone and a tri-band WCDMA phone on SIM 1 only. SIM 2 is GSM only.
Edit:http://www.htc.com/cn/smartphones/htc-one/#specs
It will only work on AT&T 3G/HSPA+. Won't work on TMOUS HSPA+ unless you're in a refarm area. No LTE.

i think it doesnt support lte.....only wcdma or tdcmda

You'll probably end up paying way more than just getting the 64gb one from att... Is 64gb really not enough for you? Do you really need the SD card slot that bad? What exactly do you need more than 64gb for, if you don't mind me asking? Really curious..

For Sale Already
Its already for sale!
Found it on a chinese market site, but no word from the carriers yet.
http://www.tmall.com/go/act/sale/ht..._id=&am_id=1301054773632ffda8b5&cm_id=&pm_id=
Taobao and Tmall are relatively safe online shopping sites. Think of it as the Amazon of China.
Its selling for 4888CNY, not sure about shipping but unless you think its worth it... its your decision though.
Edit: 4888CNY=792USD
Developer Edition(64GB)=650$
Think again whether its worth it.

Looks like it's only the pre-order page atm. Tmall is offering it from all 3 chinese carriers (china mobile, china unicom, china telecom).

One thing you need to be aware of is that the chinese version claim to be a metal body phone,but its back cover is acutally plastic. You can easliy pick out the white unpainted plastic spot on the top in the first picture. So,that's a trade off and it doesn't support LTE, dual sim is pretty much a meh feature to me but chinese people seems to love the idea since it is now a standard for any manufacturers in the chinese market. Oh and it's plauged with phone company apps you don't really need and their cheesy boot screen.....
PS.Taobao is more like e-bay's counter part. JD.com or newegg.com.cn is the chinese amazon and amazon does have its chinese version too at amazon.cn

Wouldn't be compatible with international roms.

Dual SIM on all Chinese variants.
Selling price for unlocked is 4880 before negotiation.
Not sure about China telecom/unicom/mobile prices from their stores.
You can buy from any China Telecom store for their variant. If you want the unlocked variant, you can buy it from any HTC retailer... Which is everywhere in China.

Do not buy HTC one 802D. Sim no. 1 is locked by China Telecom. Until now I still can not find the way to unlock it. So do not waste your money and time.

[Q] Where to buy One unlocked in San Francisco

Hi all, a friend is now in SF and i asked him to buy for me a new Htc One.
He only found At&t and Sprint store, but i don't want to risk with the sim unlocking.
Does anybody know a store where he can buy a sim unlocked One with no problems?
Thanks

In the USA your only going to be able to get it from a carrier if you buy at a retail store. All the international versions that people are talking about are purchased from online websites. Where are you going to be using the phone?

In Italy.
I read that Sprint is a bit strange with the sim unlocking, so i don't wanna risk.
Instead At&t is possible to be sim unlocked with a code also using unlocking sites.
Btw, my friends says that At&t won't let him buy the phone until he does 3 months of contract..it sounds strange, maybe my friend don't wanna buy the One for me anymore

Right now with inventory issues, most carriers are unwilling to sell there phone out right. They are having a hard time fulfilling contract orders why would they sell you a phone by itself when throngs of people will buy it on contract. Only people I've seen buying it standalone is T-Mobile and that depends on what stores you go to.

[Q] Will an imported HTC ONE work in India?

Hi,
Many carriers like at and t , verizon offer a very low price for HTC ONE. The price was very reasonable too. But if i buy one (locked - contracted) and unlock it, will it work in India with airtel, idea etc?
It just costs 300USD for a 64GB HTC ONE for a 2 year contacted phone. Factory unlocked and third person unlocked are very pricey ( 400$ ) . So , if i buy one, will it work if i unlock it? If so, how do i unlock it?
Thank You
Hoping For an answer soon .
Sorry if im doing anything wrong, im new here ._.

You do realize that you'll still have to pay the termination fee in case you break the contract? Also, the price without a contract is $669.

Its is just a Down-payment for the device, you might have to sign a 1 or 2 year contract with AT&T and use their services.

24.5k is an AMAZING deal
however, the phone needs to be a 'CDMA Global Ready' and must come with a removable SIM to work in India.
Check whether these 2 conditions are met. Or post the link to the phone if available

raghav kapur is spot on. I have got 'like new' gsm phones from ebay and swappa ; sim unlocked them either via software or buying a 3 dollar unlocking service from ebay (there are many of them), and using it in India. I have no experience wiith CDMA phones.
Remember, official warranties never get transferred the moment you buy a pre owned phone. [ymmv as sometimes the US store associates help you out]
I will not recommend signing a US contract and terminating it. If you are not aware of how your credit rating is related to SSN and how it stays on your profile for long long time, please research about this. Credit profiles in US are little tighter compared to credit profiles in India. Further , warranty of US phones is not honored outside US.
Although pricier option, getting a factory unlocked phone 'MAY' give you global warranty and you can get service from India outlets too. Please double check before buying.

Actually Verizon will work. Ever since the HTC Rezound (Sensation XE clone for Verizon) all HTC phones made for Verizon are SIM unlocked and global ready. They have both GSM and CDMA radio radios in them. Albeit, the GSM radio only supports global frequencies so you have to be sure your carrier uses the same freq.
"Verizon: 800/1900MHZ, UMTS/HSPA 900/2100MHz,GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900MHz, LTE 700MHz (Band 13)"
from HTC's site on what the Verizon branded HTC one will support. Please understand what you are telling people before you say it will not work.
