What is the difference between the Touch Diamond sold in Europe and the ones sold in US?
And the ones sold in Brazil (TIM and Claro operators using 850 Mhz 3G band)?
Which ROMs the Brazilian operators (TIM and Claro) use in their 3G 850 Mhz Touch Diamonds?
Is it possible to make European Diamond (France) operate in 850 Mhz 3G band?
As far as I remember after reading on this forum, unfortunatly no.

Hi everybody.
I live in United States and I have a KS20.
I really like my phone but work with the poor coverage of 1900 mhz of AT&T because I can't use 850 Mhz and I have low signal a lot of times and is very frustating.
BUT I saw a LOT of websites that sell the LG KS20 and they show in the specifications the KS20 with 850 Mhz Band support... I don't understand. Maybe is because a ROM / firmware update?
All this websites show the KS20 with 850Mhz Band...

Any ideas?? Any ROM that unlock this band? I had a Motorola L2 and Quad Band was activated with a unlock software that I bought on Ebay. I hope to do something like that with my KS20...
My LGKS20 (German) has the following options:
Automatic / UMTS / GSM 900 / 1800 and GSM 1900. I guess your hardware is the same.
the ms25 from brazil is quadriband..
if we just might extract the radio from it..
Hi guys,
I've been reading up on Rogers 3G support and i understand that rogers uses 850MHz for their HSDPA am i correct in this assumption?
On that note would the Australian Touch Pro 2 T7381 work with Rogers 3G since it utilizes 850Mhz band for HSPA?
This is the network specs of the phone
Network
HSPA/WCDMA:
Australia & USA: 850/2100 MHz (Fully support Telstra Next G Networks)
Up to 2 Mbps up-link and 7.2 Mbps down-link speeds
Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE:
Europe/Asia: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz (Band frequency, HSPA availability, and data speed are operator dependent.)
Keeping in mind that this phone doesnt support Rogers HSUPA on 1900MHz which i am lead to believe is Rogers 3G uplink frequency
Mine works on AT&T
My 7381 from Telstra in Oz works a-ok on AT&T 3-G. I think all of North America has the same network specs...
Hi there,
I just bought that phone from Australia and I am 99% sure the 3G will work with Rogers/Fido.
@ craiglevett
Ohh awesome... i'll await to see how yours works out
how much did you pay for for yours? the cheapest i've seen it for is $687 CAD
I think it will work according to wikipedia, rogers uses 850 MHz.
UMTS/HSPA on the 850 MHz band (Also known as 3G GSM)
let me know if it works, I'm planning to buy it as well..
Get the AT&T Tilt 2 instead, it will cost you half as much and will also support the 1900MHz band.

I don't like the keyboard layout though, I like having dedicated number keys. Aso, it's not half, it's about the same...
yeah the tilt 2 keyboard layout is ghetto... they've totally ruined the phone by have it in that layout and in blue colour. What were they thinking?
T-mobile touch pro2 has 3G in 2100 Mhz band. Does this mean that it will get 3G in europe, where networks support the 2100 umts?
i have read this phone has the AWS system (1700 + 2100 bands for ul/dl) but does it also have the "regular" 2100Mhz band for 3g in europe and asia?
In the specifications of the tmo tp2 it says it has that band so my guess is that it will work fine in Europe.
yes it worked for me i can confirm that
Hi, according to what i've read the radio should be choosen to the country and the carrier you're working with, I live in colombia and my carrier is movistar, but im not getting 3g speeds, i just bought a t-mobile g2, i've seen that carriers in colombia are working on UMTS 850 and UMTS 1900, so can anyone help me on choosing the correct radio to my phone?
THANKS!!!!
The 3G bands on the G2 are 1700/2100 and 2100 MHz, so you are never going to get 3G speeds on it, if your network is using 850 and 1900 MHz. This is set in hardware, and can't be changed by flashing radios. So you are stuck on EDGE. You bought the wrong model of the Vision if you want 3G on your network. The only version with compatibility with 850 and 1900 MHz 3G bands is the Bell Canada version of the Desire Z.
Hi,
I was wondering if I would have any limitations using a ATT / Rogers phone in Europe (Austria)?
What worries me a bit is the different model numbers and specs (RM-808 in US/CAN vs. RM-823).
Seems HSDPA is not supported on 900Mhz in the RM-808 and according to the Rogers website their Lumia 900 does not support HSDPA on 2100Mhz either whereas ATT's Lumia 900 supports HSDPA on 2100Mhz.
gsmarena RM-808
gsmarena RM-823
Rogers Spec
ATT Spec
sorry I can't post the links as a new member
I then found a old posting telling a bit about the used frequencies for HSDPA
Europe: 2100 MHz, England 2100, 900 MHz
Asia: 2100 MHz
Australia: 2100,850 MHz
America: 850, 1700,1900 MHz
So if that is right I guess the Rogers Lumia 900 will not work on European HSDPA networks (only on the 2G)?
Or is the Rogers website just missing this detail as the model number is the same so the hardware should be identical?
I don't care to much about HSDPA 21 or 42 Mbps as there might not be a huge difference in every day use as the networks do not provide anything close to the theoretical speed.
