Hi,
I own a HTC One, european version. But as I am living currently in south america, I can not use anything faster than EDGE, as the EU Version only supports 900 Band upwards, whereas overhere the band of choice for quick data is 850.
Is there a way to activate this band?
Thanks, Tom

hey!
Does anyone know if a diamond bought in the US will work in Israel?
You can go to www.gsmworld.com and then roaming, and then coverage maps. (pick a country)
Here you will see all the various networks in that country and the bands they use. For Israel all networks use 900, 1800 or 2100 (3G).
Since the only diamond you can buy right now uses 900, 1800, 1900 GSM and 900, 2100 3G, it will work perfectly in Israel.
I also want to add that HTC diamonds bought in the US currently is the Europe/Asia version (lacking the 850 band). This will/might change sooner or later.
I know this device is 3G Networked (HSDPA 900 / 2100) for Europe.
My question is, will there be a 3G Network device version (HSDPA 850 / 1900) for America ?
I know the Europe version is hardwired for Europe and can not be converted to work in America, yes?
3G Compatible version for USA
You are right. HTC has not yet luanched this device with 3G compatibility with US operators.
Rumour: HTC is planning to launch 3G compatible(for US) device by september 2009.

why cant the usa just move in line with every other country in the world
With the Diamond 1 it could be configured to be UMTS 850. Telstra in Australia produced a ROM for the Diamond1 that was UMTS 850/2100.
Telstra run on UMTS 850 because Telstra are dodgy and want unique handsets. Other Australian providers are UMTS 2100 or UMTS 900 /2100.
I would say that the same will apply for the Diamond 2. The hardware will allow all frequencies but you will need a ROM that enables what you need. The UMTS 850 ROMs appear to be vendor rather than region specific.

Because America is waiting for the world to move in line with them?

I think it is more like America is demanding the world to move in line with them....

The original specs(before the D2 was released) showed al 4 3G freqs. So I believe you are correct in your assumption that this can be done through rom.
Hi, I´m from spain and now i travel to america... The problem is here 3g woriking in 850 and x1 only have 1900 american band.
Can i change radio band with soft?
BR
can anyone with a european xperia x2 confirm what 3g bands it has.
i keep on reading conflicting theories.
either its UMTS 900/1900/2100 MHz or UMTS 850/900/2100 MHz.
i think they are already being sold in the netherlands.
which one is it?
thanks
Any european variant of a SE handset always has 3G bands:
a) 900/2100MHz
or
b) 900/1900/2100MHz
but i saw some websites it says that it has 850mhz 3g plus i need to know if it has the 1900mhz because in manhattan where i live it works on 1900mhz 3g.
The XPERIA X2 white paper says
a) X2 (European) has 900/1900/2100MHz 3G bands
b) X2a has 850MHz/1900MHz/2100MHz 3G bands

Hi looking to purchase the HTC ONE International Version M7 and want to use it in South Korea and wondering if it will work? Either 3g or 4g LTE
Here is the bands for the International Version
Band GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 (Quadband) WCDMA (UMTS)/HSPA 850/900/1900/2100
And the bands available to be as im on SK Telecom
850mhz lte
1800mhz lte
2100 UMTS/HSPA
I'm guessing that the 1800 and 2100 mhz bands overlap I should probably have both access to 3g and 4g lte?
Thanks so much guys!
850Mhz is SKT's main frequency and 1800Mhz is their secondary frequency which is so-called 'multi-carrier.' Even if that multi-carrier frequency overlaps the HSDPA frequency in One's spec, SK Telecom's HSDPA signal only comes from 2100Mhz band, and you don't have to worry. However, I have to warn you - If you buy 801s model, you can use LTE in those 'multi-carrier' zones that are smaller than its main band area. Even if multi-carrier zone is being expanded, SKT's main band is the only band provided in majority of areas.
