i have, in fact i am writing from my phone now. i am on att in us, i get 3g from my Telstra TP2
you HAVE TO hard spl first and the only way to get Telstra settings back would be to re-flash their ROM
Wow^^ I might have to buy one even though they're mega expensive right now. I need that 3G. It only works on 850 though right? Not 1900?

Sorry Mate?
What's with the price of this phone?
Is it Telstra who's charging crazy money or importer milking the cow as much as they can? Both?
I would really buy one if I couldn't buy a car instead lol.
Under 800$ would be great.
Screw AT&T!!!

How about the New York City/Northern NJ area. Anyone know if 850 is the primary 3G band in this area? Last I heard it was 1900 but I also did hear that the New Yory tri state area was gonna be ALL 850 3g by the end of 2009..?

AUS telstra TP2 rom?
hello im here with all the WINMO enviroment.
Been reading heaps.
Does anyone know where I can get the stock Aus Telstra ROM from or how I can backup the ROM from my phone?
Cheers
using telstra touch pro 2 in canada
love it. wanting to flash to get rid of the telstra muck i cannot edit out in the rom. I'm also looking to find a way to dump the stock rom in case i need to reflash back later.
Flashed Telstra
I have had my Telstra TP2 for a month or so and have been flashing it regularly trying out different ROMS. My favourite is the Energy 'Leo' ROM even though it has been a little buggy, but it's still under development and gets updated pretty regularly. The only thing I cant get to work properly is MMS but that's not a biggy.
I've had a go at backing up the Telstra ROM before I blew it away. Not really sure if i was successful, but have the files here somewhere if i get desparate enough to go back, but i doubt that.
Flashing is easy, plenty of guides here. But also plenty of info here that will let you edit out the T-stuff and keep their ROM if that is what you prefer.

i am in biggest battle of my life! heres the issue. im very interested in buying the touch pro 2 and as of right now am without a phone since i sold my htc fuze. now, the touch pro 2 looks good but i see its coming out to the Americas. now the only difference i see is the 3g and let me add that i have tmobile and dont have internet on my phone so 3g really isnt much of a factor. the tmobile version really dosent look that great compared to the original chrome version. and another issue....the htc hero.. in your opinions what would be my best choice. buy the phone now? euro version? wait till a branded version comes out but apart from 3g what else would be better with that? or wait till the htc hero comes out? another detail money isn't the issue in any of this Lol
I feel your pain...
I just went throught the same thing... I'm on ATT... see my post... I pulled the trigger on the Touch Pro 2... it wouldn't run on 3G... it didn't come with Voice Command... those two are deal killers for me... I use heavy data apps on my phone... I can't go back to 2G just for the sake of having the phone. I'll wait until ATT branded phone comes out... in the meantime (when I get my money back) I'm going to get a Apple I-Phone... If you are not heavy into speed.. then ok, if so, dont do it... its a horrible let down. the people selling the phone don't tell you the deal breaking details, they hope you will just live with it... NOT ME.. Len
TP2 is 3G in the UK, how come T-Mobile have removed it for the US?

If this is the biggest battle of your life, you've had a very easy life so far!
one benefit of buying it local is getting hardware issues fixed under warranty...
Before I purchased the TP2 I realised it wasnt going to be released in Australia for a while. I also realised that if I wanted the phone now, I'd need to order from overseas. It crossed my mind: what if there are issues with the phone. I dismissed those after I realised I had owned several HTC phones in the past and they were all fine.
I found myself with a faulty screen after getting my TP2 from Singapore. I contacted HTC, and its going to cost about 10% of the device's cost to send it off for repair via FedEx!
I'm a bit hesitant to send the thing off. I dunno how long I can live without it!

omg seriously?? have you even TRIED to look around this forum and read some of the posts?
THE EUROPEAN MODEL OF THE TOUCH PRO 2 DOES NOT HAVE THE NECESSARY BANDS TO SUPPORT 3G IN THE US.
ALL OF THE US CARRIERS WILL BE GETTING THEIR OWN RESPECTIVE MODEL OF THE TP2, WITH T-MO PROBABLY BEING THE FIRST. THEIRS WILL BE COMING OUT AROUND MID-AUGUST. AUGUST 12.
it's not that they removed it. they never made a European model that supported US 3G in the first place.
next time, before you ask a question like that, READ. PLEASE.
I went to go see the T-mobile version today at a store in Tacoma... AND I LOVE THE PHONE!
I'm definitely waiting until August 12th (which is the now rumored release date).
It is everything that I thought it would be.
But here are some impressions for those of you interested in the T-mobile USA version:
1. No chrome- thankfully this did not kill the sex appeal. I think that the phone is the sexiest phone I have ever seen. The look is not inferior to the International version, just different.
2. It is a speed demon! Whatever ROM it is running is even faster than the international version (from what I have seen in video reviews) and everything is very fluid.
3. The keyboard is perfect. Enough said.
4. The guy who owned the phone said that the release date is supposed to be mid-to-late August. Though I'm betting on August 12th.
5. Any questions, ask away. I'm very excited for the release of this phone.
Did T-Mo keep the second camera on this phone, is it full of bloat-ware, and lastly did they destroy any of what we love about the phones capabilities.
i have a german t-mobile vario 5 and i can say hardware is exactly the same so YES front camera is there too!
there is some software like web n walk and some other t-mobile software but its not that bloated.

I'm sorry. I was asking that question assuming the author was referring to T-Mobile USA. I know it's not out yet in US for customers, but there are some T-Mo employees that have demo versions of the phone. I thought this person was one of them.

For some reason the Music player on Touchflo3d cannot read my memory card. I have an 8gb card, with around 1100 songs and it takes forever to load. After about 5 mins, it might show the songs, I click a song, it lags to play, then it plays, I try to change the track and it freezes.
Do we know yet which 3G frequencies the USA version of this phone will support? i.e. will it only work on the US networks, or be a proper 'world standard' phones that will work on all the UK 3G networks as well as the US ones?

I believe that it supports international EDGE bands.
However, it only supports T-mobile 3G. No AT&T nor European 3G I think.

I'm glad there's no chrome, personally. I plan to own the device for a long time, and with my luck the chrome would crack before I grew tired of the device. But from the one shot I've seen of it on a TmoUSA promo it's my least favorite looking of all the versions. I'd have to go digging around, but I think either the Sprint or Verizon was my favorite looking device.
Fortunately, appearances are the least important factor in my buying decision, because I'll probably end up on TMobile's network before I even get the phone.
The guy who has it name is Young.
If you don't like the looks of the phone, you can always get a gel skin. You can also order replacement exterior pieces online and just have someone take the phone apart and put the new parts on.
It is so bloody annoying that the TP2 is coming out everywhere on t mobile (in the US and mainland Europe) except in the UK. The rumour that it failed testing in the UK can't be right, as it appears to have passed testing everywhere else. Perhaps it has more to do with the fact that t mobile in the UK is being sold off and that it can't afford too many new launches of products.

I'm mildly annoyed!
Also interesting to see the call/end call buttons are red and green as opposed to white
Wtf....... I want!
** JEALOUS **
yeah those phones are for a canadian provider.
If they changed that, I'm guessing if they changed anything else on the phone. I would hate it if within 3 weeks there would be a TP2 revision......
The AT&T version needs this.
haha thanks god I waited
Hell yes!!! I called it!!! Yes, I'm bragging, but so what.

Are you canadian?
EDIT: Maybe the firmware update will suddenly transform the phone and the 3,5 jack will suddenly appear........ Just woke up from my daydream
Also interesting this phone will be a WorldPhone, so CDMA+GSM.
I'm very curious as to what this imply since Telus will be launching a HSDPA network very soon in anticipation of the olympics int Canada.
Anybody know what this imply for the Custom Roms down the road?
Usually there`s seperate ROM for CDMA and GSM, will there be a need for a third type of ROM for Worldphones? Was there any other device in the past that could do both?
I'm keeping a very close eye on all the TP2 that will have US3G since I'd like to upgrade my TP that is sadly lacking 3G in North America =/.
Thanks to anyone that can answer!
Wow, sounds perfect! If it'll work on UK 3G networks too, I want one!
Andre
................
But i dont see anything about this being Unlocked.
I'm confused....I've got one of these but returned it twice, will this be available in the UK? Should I cancel my order and get one of these instead? Will it be available from Mobile Phones Direct?
A prompt response would be awesome as I'm supposed to be picking up another replacement tomorrow morning.
Cheers,

I'm not totally sure, but I think I read somewhere that this would only work with European 3G bands and not US. I'm not sure though. Hopefully that's wrong.
yes so excited. i'v been waitting for the verizon tp2 .. and now i here about this great news.. this is so awsome. i was thinking about that the other day.. about the adapter for the 3.5mm headphone jack... i dont have to worry about a adapter anymore..
wonder if the GSM phones will be able to be modified to accept the 3.5MM bottom piece.
unlikely, but plausable. it would not have been financially feasible to make dramatic design changes for a niche market (CDMA)
I love this news! HTC just might be listening to its customers after all.

dont see how that is possible without modifying the case itself and opening up the device.. dont think its worth it to me for as little as im going to use headphones.

Hi all!
I have seen a coupple of Desire's for sale on Ebay and they both have said they get no signal in the UK, but belive that they will only work abroad?
Is this true?
Can they be rooted/updated Radio or anything to work in the UK?
Or is it just pure BS? haha
cheers
Keith
maybe it's the CDMA version of the Desire, which only works in outdated America, and not the GSM version which works everywhere else
Whats the best way of finding out which version it is?
does it say on the back somewhere?
cheers

they're blacklisted.. will never work in the Uk now.. unless you can change their IMEY, which is illegal I might add..
Hope this helps!
Or maybe its a phone that has been reported as stolen. these phones usually get blocked and cant be used within the UK but often work abroad on other networks. then again, it could just be a CDMA version. either way, I'd think twice about buying such a phone from ebay.

you mean, they got stolen and now the thief tries to sell them? If so, someone should report the auction.
Else, difference between CDMA and GSM:

dying to get one, but every where i call they said it either run out, or have not reach them yet, or end of the month
why don't you just get tmobile version?
so i can easily exchange it for another one, in case i find any defect as some of you did

Damn, you still haven't gotten your GS2? I would of thought by now you've gotten it. Your practically part of the GS2 family. You've been mingling and answering questions for a while now.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Stupid Question, I have been scouring the internet, but is the Telus Version on the SGS2 going to have the same radio as the T-Mobile Version? Just wondering, as I want to get it for Wind Mobile here in canada. tx.
yes, it's the same phone
just locked to Telus instead of Tmobile
available next Friday 28 $599.99
Sweet! Thanks for the quick response! Now to decide T-Mobile or Telus....529 USD vs. 599 CAD plus tax
Hate to break it to you guys but telus uses the same bands as ATT not tmobile. Unless something has recently changed, telus shares the same network with bell. Im currently using a telus dhd on bell.
The Telus SG2 appears to have the same specs as the T-Mobile Version (larger Screen size, and 1.5 ghz processor) than the other versions of the SG2 that are out there. From everything I have seen and read on line, the T-Mobile version radio will support 3g on AT&T, so I am hoping that the telus version will be the same as the T-Mo. I currently have a T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant, and it works 3G on both At&T (Rogers) or T-Mobile (Wind/Mobilicity).
Based on Telus website information:
telusmobility.com/fr/QC/samsung_galaxy_s_II_x/index.shtml
The Samsung Galaxy S II should be compatible with 1700 and 2100 MHZ (required for T-Mobile but also for Videotron Quebec network).
Hope that these information on the Telus website are true!
Good day!
I went for the T-Mobile one, I'm on Mobilicity in Vancouver. Found a retailer selling it for $529.99 CAN, SIM unlocked.
I'm actually going to be in Vancouver next week. Would you mind passing along the name of the retailer? Thanks

They have 6 stores, but I think only the Kingsway has them in stock. Call before you go in to check if they have any (they said they only had 3 left when I got mine).
Thanks for the link. I just wanted to make sure that you did get this one, because the specs listed on the website are wrong for the T-Mobile version. Wrong processor, and screen size. Is yours taged with the T-Mobile Logo on the front? Thanks
Haha, yea. Everyone I link it to is like, "Are you sure that's the right one?". The person who did the website obviously copied down the incorrect spec sheet. But no fears, it is the SGH-989! Has T-Mobile branding and everything.
Perfect!! Thanks for the info!! Will probably order in the AM!
Thanks for the link, much appreciated!!!
The phone is running smoothly?

Pretty decently, although I had to use Titanium Backup to freeze all the Bloat. Still trying to get this thing working how I want it to. Mobile Hotspot is still giving me troubles, but I'll figure it out eventually.
4 more days to go!!!!
looking forward to Friday, to finally get this beast!
crossing my fingers the Root and CWR works the same on the phone.
