If it's for T-Mobile, it uses GSM service not CDMA. The Vogue forum is for Sprint, Verizon, and other CDMA carriers. Try the Elf/Elfin forums. There defintieley is a way, but the other section will be able to explain better. Good luck!
Check out this post.
Windows Mobile 6.5 available with the HTC Touch Pro2?
When yes, is it possible to zoom websites in the IE like that?
I would LOVE it!

Yes, TP2 will come with an upgrade to 6.5. But when you first get it, it will still be 6.1.
Acer which is launching their new phone F900, comes with WM6.1 but it comes with IE6 and plays flash movies too. Don't know if TP2 will come with IE6 with it's 6.1 OS.

But it does come with Opera Mobile I think, which is better
It should come with a 6.1 ROM initially, with the (old) new version of Pocket IE, which is actually quite decent, although I'm sure that most people will still prefer Opera Mobile (also included for sure). Then, a 6.5 upgrade is guaranteed. Then, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay into the future, an upgrade to WM7 is expected (based on leaked AT&T documents).

That it didn't say on the review. So I guess not. I never used IE6, so I won't know which is better. Also, I think you can download Opera 9.5 Beta versions from Opera site.

That article is just referring to the date that is on the FORTRESS specs (the picture of the AT&T TP2 - Look at the bottom in red font).
Back in Feb, it was leaked by Motorola's CEO that WM7 was pushed back (likely to April 2010) due to the release of the Android.
Here are some more realistic dates for you to rely on. http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=1908

Heres the quote from the Article....
HTC Warhawk, HTC Fortress: Behind the glamorized names, the Warhawk and Fortress are really the HTC Touch Diamond2 and HTC Touch Pro2, respectively. According to the slide, the Fortress had a target launch date of May 25, but obviously missed the mark. What's more interesting, though, is the red note at the bottom of the slide that reads, "WM 7.X refresh rewarded with Sept '09 launch date." Meanwhile, it looks like the Warhawk will ship with Windows Mobile 6.5 preinstalled and has a target launch date of August 24. Both smartphones will include support for AT&T's Video Share service, A-GPS, Wi-Fi, HSDPA, and Bluetooth.

So the Warhawk is TD2 and the Fortrss TP2
I have highlighted the 2 bits of note...
So I read that as the TP2 has missed its launch date of the 25th with AT&T but should have a refresh reward to WM7 in Sept 09.
I'm not going against what you said Hamburg, i'm just showing what I read.

seriously? windows mobile 7? I'd be happy if it could run WM 7 decently but then again official upgrade sounds good too
You all do know that Windows Mobile 6.5 will be out by this time next month right?
As far as I know, my mum is a director at T-Mobile Europe in case you were wondering, the T-Mobile Wing II (Rhodium 100) will be shipping next month with 6.5 preinstalled.
Also next month is the Dopod Tachi (or as HTC call it, the HTC Twin) also coming with 6.5 loaded.
With the addition that it's my birthday next month, July is a good month for me this year
TP2 on AT&T in US?
Anyone here using a TP2 in the US? On AT&T? In Chicago (or anywhere)?
I'm about to toss my iPhone and go back to WinMo. I started out with a Blue Angel and Alpine WAY back, then had a Kaiser and still have an Athena I play around with (although I nuked the GPS radio I think).
I'm just nervous about the "No 3G" thing. Is it EDGE only then? That would blow. I thought AT&T had some HSDPA here that provided higher speeds but honestly I'm not that up on the technologies and which is which.
I may have to wait to see how a 6.5 upgrade would go on it and how well the widescreen takes advantage of 6.5 Any ideas on comparison between the Tp2 and the Nokia N97?
Is Moxilla firefox for the touch pro2 available ?

Not directly. There is a browser called Fennec developed by the Firefox team which aims for mobile devices. There is an alpha version available, but it isn't fast or stable enough for everyday use IMO. Just search for it if you want to try it out.

Yeah but there's been a lot of discussion around these dates and they don't add up at all. That slide is pretty old.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Fortress gets released around October so there's a slim chance that'll be shipping with 6.5.
The latest rumor are that WM7 will only be for the newer device with Multi-Touch capacitative screen and tighter specs (not support a gazillion of configuration like 6.1/6.5) while 6.5 will stay on the current devices and lower end devices at first. Buuuuut they're just rumors.
Back to the topic, you'll most likely get a 6.5 upgrade from most carrier including T-Mo. Anyway, once HardSPL is released you'll be able to flash a 6.5 ROM within days!

It's all about bands:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands
Band I (W-CDMA 2100) in Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, New Zealand (ITU Region 1) and Brazil (part of ITU Region 2)
Band II (W-CDMA 1900) in North America and South America (ITU Region 2)
Band IV (W-CDMA 1700 or Advanced Wireless Services) in the United States (T-Mobile USA)
Band VIII (W-CDMA 900) in Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand (ITU Region 1 and ITU Region 3), and Venezuela (Corporación Digitel, C.A.)
Band V (W-CDMA 850) in Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Canada, the USA, Venezuela, other parts of South America, Israel[1], parts of Asia (ITU Region 2 and ITU Region 3)
AT&T uses 850/1900. Notice below the phone only has 850/2100 for HSPA/WCDMA but it has the bands for GSM/GPRS/EDGE:
From HTC TP2 european specs:
HSPA/WCDMA:
Europe/Asia: 900/2100 MHz
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.)

There's lots of info about removing Telstra's branding at Whirlpool. http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1286616
Telstra market the phone as having an upgrade to 6.5 coming, so they will release a supported ROM in due course (ie probably long after everyone else...)
I have a TP2 which I got outright and currently has 3 sim. Today I tried my friends Telstra NextG sim and I can't get any service. Tried manual search and also tried changing Band from Automatic to GSM(1900+850)+UMTS(1900+850).
Nothing. Also, manual search finds Optus network but not Telsrta.
This is a bit of a bummer cause I was going to switch to Telstra NextG in few weeks.
Would a ROM upgrade fix this? plz help.
Touch Pro 2 (WM 6.5 HTC Rom)
ROM: 1.86.710.3 (67102)
Radio: 4.49.25.17
btw. My friend has a Telstra branded Touch Diamond2
thats quite interesting! telstra are yet to release their 6.5 update, but perhaps getting a copy from your telstra friend when its released will fix this?
My understanding is thtat the unbranded TP2 is a 900/2100 phone. the settings may allow 850/1900 but it will not work. My understanidn is that the nextG version sold by telstra has a different internal antenna setup
The unbranded TP2 is quadband GSM but does not support Telstra 3G. Does Telstra not operate a 2G network? If not then it will not work on Telstra. You need either a Telstra TP2 or a North American TP2 (such as AT&T or some Canadian ones).
yeah Telstra does have 2G, but the whole reason of me switching is the Next G network.
can anyone with an Telstra branded TP2 post their ROM and Radio, plz.
wondering if changing the radio will fix it. I find it hard to believe that HTC manufactures TP2s, as well as Diamond2 or even Touch HD, just for Telstra.
