Hey i was wondering if i bought a verizon touch pro 2 back (battery cover) would it fit on my tmobile one because the mobile one is just ugly compared to the Verizon / Sprint / Unlocked one.
Thanks!

Thats a good question, Try the CDMA thread and ask around for the size dimensions. They could be the same exact same or they could be different I'm not sure

I am pretty sure that the TMO version has a different back. The unlocked version has a different back then the TMO version and I think Verizons is the same as the unlocked. The Verizon one has a different style, but the way it connects to the phone is different. I attached a pic of the TMO and the Unbranded. Couldn't find a pic of the verizon battery cover. The bottom wraps around.
You can't put any onther back on the Tmobile one. all other versions of the TP2 have the battery cover consist of the whole back & sides, where as the Tmo version is just the back.

I currently have an iPhone 3Gs which I like but the Touch2 is looking pretty nice. I'm thinking of leaving AT&T and going with the Touch2 using Verizon. Most of the ROMs I have seen here are for T-Mobile, my question is - can they be used on a Verizon phone? I have a couple of more questions if you don't mind:
1. Since I may be getting a new Touch2 - would it be wise to upgrade WM6.1 to 6.5 right off the bat - before even adding contacts, etc?
2. Can the Verizon version be update to 6.5 and is it safe and stable?
3. Which ROM would you recommend using? I'd rather have speed than 'pretty'.
I'm new to this and did not even know ROMs were available since the iPhone does not use one.
Thanks all,
MasterJack
BTW, I did a search for Verizon but not much came up.
1. No 6.5 for VZ out yet
2. Once 6.5 is officially released or HSPL becomes available
3. No HSPL out for VZ yet, so no custom ROMs
Bummer - sounds like I'm S.O.L. for now - maybe I'll just keep my iPhone until 6.5 and ROMs are available..... thank you.
you will be able to update it to 6.5 and use custom roms eventually, but not yet. just install windows phone on the phone and sync your contacts with it and when you instal a new rom you can sync them back onto the phone, pictures, ringtones, anything you put in their info. also, check sprint a lot cheaper monly plan, with the lowest minutes its $70/month on verizon (they make you get data). The Sprint Touch Pro2 should be around the T-Mobile ($150) / Verizon ($200) price range when its for sale in stores (10/11) and online through other retailers.
btw, some guy on my local craigslist will give u his tmobile touch pro2 for ur iphone if ur near chicago.

Thanks for your reply. I have never checked out Sprint - how is their coverage compared to Verizon? How does the TP2 Sprint compare to the TP2 Verizoin - hardware-wise?
Hardware wise they are the same. As for coverage, go to each of their sites and click "coverage map". There is a link right on their front pages.
How about the AT&T version due out soon - would it be wise to wait for that one or go with Verizon's version? Will AT&T's version be any better?

There is speculation that the AT&T version will ship with WM 6.5... Other then that, the only real difference is in the Carrier. Verizon is CDMA - mostly North America Service - Has an international option for GSM. AT&T will be GSM standard and will also allow for custom ROM's...
I have used Verizon and AT&T for work and Verizon seems like the better network in the US. I am personally waiting for the AT&T version.. (Same carrier I am on now.)
Why the desire for 6.5 so bad? Not much is different.
The stock ROM on the Verizon version is surprisingly good. Unless there is earth shattering improvements I doubt I'll flash it at this point.
No matter what, out of the box, this phone blows the iphone away!
Just finally took a look at one today at a T-Mobile store. Very nice unit - not as reponsive as my iPhone but it makes up in many other areas. I just saw that AT&T will have one soon - what's the advantage of that one over let's say Verizon? I just got my 3Gs a couple of months ago so I would have to break my contract with AT&T to get one - weather I get one from them (just break it and re-sign up if I can) or go with Verizon. My thought is that Verizon has better coverage here in Houston.
What about the Samsung Omnia II - seems very nice - which carriers will carry it?
Thx,

Agreed, with GPS working and the stock ROM running well (for me) I'll wait for official 6.5 (as it is better than the HTC TouchFlo interface IMO). Though I am sure once it is cracked I won't be able to resist, but it is saying something that that I am not dying to upgrade it. As an old Touch and Touch Pro user this stock experience isn't even in the same league.
So if I go with the Verizon version - you recommend no changing anything? Just leave it alone until 6.5 comes out?
What's good site to learn about what's new with 6.5 as it relates to this phone?
Thx,
MasterJack

You really don't have a choice with the Version Phone.. You can not add new ROM's until somene creates a HARD SPL for the CDMA phones. Once that is created, it provides the ability to make changes to the base OS.
I really dont like AT&T. I have gone back to them on 2 different occasions and left becuase of the same issues. There are days where they work great. There are other days where in areas you had full signal in, you will drop a call or be searching for service. AT&T's network just isnt as mature as Verizons. I have traveled all over the US for work and verizon is always the best.
One thing i am going to add....The only thing that is nice about AT&T is there handset freedom. But they are even managing to take that away from there clients.
I agree on the service area... Verizon's network is the best in the US...
I have moved my company to AT&T for two reasons... They used to get hardware out before anyone else (Tilt) and I can use the phones in Europe and Mexico with out issue. (Verizon works in Mexico but is expensive).
this is out for verizon right? i got it for tmobile and i love it so since my gf is looking for a new phone i will recommend it even tho she wants a black berry
Does any fellow CAN know of any Telus store with stock in their inventory?
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.

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

I reside in Vancouver as well. Could you let me know of this retailer?
www dot cellworldco dot com
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.
Sorry if it has been asked, and I did a search to no avail. For those of you with the telus t989d version, do the t-mobile branded cases fit the telus version? I am trying to find out before I spend money on a case that doesn't end up fitting. Thanks for any input! Let me know if you have a favorite also! Need one quick so I don't ruin this awesome phone
yes the phones are identical in every way even ROMs
they only added the D at the end to know it's from Telus instead of Tmo

I think they don't fit. I know their was a thread, but I am not going to look for it on my phone. I think the speaker cut out and the 3.5 mm jack are on the opposite side on the telus version.I may be wrong though. I'm sure if you search more on desktop you will find it easy though.
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?
T-Mobile Galaxy S 2 Cases
Hi,
To answer your question, yes the T-mobile version of the phone and the Telus version are identical. If you buy a case specific for the T-Mobile version it will fit like a glove on the Telus version, cutouts and all.
I just purchased the Seidio Active Case yesterday, should be arriving in the mail soon. If you are looking for a high quality case, that provides great protection, you should check it out. comes with a built in kickstand as well.

You're thinking about the Skyrocket (AT&T and Rogers versions) cases, not the Telus and T-Mobile. They are the exact same hardware wise, except for the front faceplate is branded slightly differently.
Just like the title says.....I am looking at a replacement LCD for my wife's tmobile galaxy phone but I only find the Sprint one cheap. Are these interchangeable?

my cousin has the sprint one and they look 100 percent identical, form factor wise. Only question is the plug inside the device at the same spot on both devices? Try and look at a break down /disassembly of bothers variants to see what's inside

Well i'm fairly certain the LCD itself is interchangeable, the board is not. Switching the cases from a T-mobile to Sprint will not work, as the boards are constructed slightly differently on the top and bottom. the T-Mobile will not fit correctly in the back of the Sprint case, I (sadly) know from experience. :/
So this is my second 10 this month. Had to send the last one back as it was being sold as new but it was clearly used.
Anyway so I bought this hoping it was the 6500 us unlocked version. The back casing has the 6500 lettering and nothing else. All was good till i put my tmobile sim card in and can only get EDGE networks. Fiddled with apn settings but nada. Booted into download mode and behold this thing has a 6500 mid. Now Im not even sure this is new phone either. It is clean and in mint condition but the box it came in could fool anyone. The charger was all etched with crooked lettering and the box had a glued piece of textured paper for the top to miminc an oem box, unless htc also did this.
Anyways before i send this back is there anyway to check if this phone is an original 6500 that was simply flashed with 6200 mid/rom? Software number has a 401 regional code, china is 400 so it may be a modified chinese phone? Do you guys need any specific info?
If i were to keep it, will flashing a radio make it possible to get the missing lte bands people dont get when simply ruuing/ flashing a rom? Or will it always not recognize certain lte bands?
Also where can i buy a new 6500 us unlocked phone? Everyone seems to only sell international versions.
Any help would be appreciated
