Hey guys. Just wondering some things here, and can't get an answer anywhere. These same questions are posted all over the web, so please lend a helping hand.
So, there is already one CDMA Version of the Diamond released to Telus, and soon to be Verizon and Sprint. Now heres the question. If I were to buy a CDMA Diamond off the web, one that is used on Telus, can it be used for Alltel, Sprint, or Verizon?
If so, would it be possible to make a ROM to go along with these carriers? I see that there is already a Diamond Kitchen available, so what would have to be done to get one of these phones to work on these carriers? Or is it already possible?
Thanks for any help guys.
I think the rom would not help because it is hardware. Not too sure though.
u can unlock it but alot of good that will do since its cmda you have to give sprint/verizon your esn and they will have to allow your phone for use on their network and as far as i know they dont allow unlocked phones even if its the same model as one they carry since the esns have to be sprint esns. if im wrong someone feel free to correct me.
verizon said they will open their network so when that happens yes you can.
the rest no.
and telus has NOT released the diamond as of yet.
telus is launching this little cdma beauty aug 14th. my question is this:WILL THE CURRENT ROMS AVAILABLE WORK ON THIS DEVICE
sprint will let you activate any phone, they just have to load your esn into there system
You can't use a WCDMA Diamond on CDMA networks because of its hardware.
The CDMA version has got a different hardware for make it work on CDMA networks...
I think that actual ROMs for WCDMA Diamond will work on CDMA version... the software part that controls radio hardware is the Radio ROM.
Please help me with this. Because many people are confused with Diamond versions, pls tell me which of these are GSM and which are CDMA

HTC P3051 / HTC Touch Diamond CDMA / Bell & HTC Touch Diamond / Sprint & HTC Touch Diamond / Telus & HTC Touch Diamond
GSM:
HTC P3700 / HTC P3701 / HTC P3702 / HTC Touch Diamond / HTC Touch Diamond P3702 / HTC Touch Diamond (White Gold Edition) / Orange & HTC Touch Diamond / Swisscom & HTC Touch Diamond / Vodafone & HTC Touch Diamond / Dopod S900 (Touch Diamond) / O2 Xda Diamond / O2 Xda Ignito / T-Mobile MDA Compact IV / EMobile Emonster S21HT / NTT DoCoMo PRO series HT-02A
EMobile Emonster S21HT / NTT DoCoMo PRO series HT-02A[/QUOTE]
Are definitely not GSM devices since neither Docomo nor Emobile operate a GSM network. As far as I know there is no GSM network in operation in Japan.
DIAM300: XDA Diamond GSM, o2 Germany
I have a DIAM400 from Verizon Wireless (US), which I believe is CDMA. Correct me if I'm wrong. I dunno.
diam110: us gsm
this will work in europe?
i have one only catch 3g
if phone is tri-band or quad-band you can use it in Europe, cause thing is in frequency 850/900/1800/1900 mhz maybe numbers for frequency aren't exact , but look for that thing!
GSM 900 / GSM 1800 MHz are used in most parts of the world: Europe, Asia, Australia, Middle East, Africa.
GSM 850 / GSM 1900 MHz are used in the United States, Canada, Mexico and most countries of S. America.

If you open the battery cover and you don´t see a place for a sim card then it´s a CMDA phone,CMDA phones dont have a sim card slot

Do you have sim-card on your phone? If you have it is an Gsm-phone. If not it is CDMA.
yeah i got a sim-card, so it's all about if i have a sim card or not? but can't my Touch Diamond be both CDMA and GSM?
sry that i ask so stupid questions, but im new to the Touch Diamond.

nope, it can't. You have gsm. Thats it..
They also make a cdma diamond, but it can't use GSM.
If you wanna know more about the difference between GSM and CDMA, you can visit this site:
http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-difference-between-gsm-and-cdma.htm
For short, your phone is GSM, so you SHOULD NOT upgrade your Diamond with a CDMA rom.
let's see if i get this right, since i got a sim-card that i can use in any phone i want to and still have the other phone activated, it's not CDMA? or am i completely out and nothing near the real thing about CDMA? oO
CDMA is a usa 3g system running on 850 and 1800 net they dont use simcard in there phones it is build in so if u want to subcribe to a cdma network ( sprint a so on ] u need to actived the phone sim
gsm is an all over the world used system whit have an simcard
Quite simply, GSM and CDMA are two different types of networks. Likewise, the GSM and CDMA Diamonds are two different phones.
and what about european 3G/UMTS - with USIM ?
