Hey all,
Would this phone work if it was imported to the UK? I was just wondering as my mate was thinking of buying the HD2. However when he saw this one he wanted it, but it isnt avalible in the UK yet D:
So my question is, if he imported it, would it work on UK networks?

No. All UK networks are 3G in speed, but fall back on the GSM type of radio transmission. The EVO is CDMA....not GSM....yes, I know that UMTS used as 3G in the UK and most of Europe is a type of CDMA system, but it's not used on the EVO. You're out of luck taking the EVO to the UK.
Ahh okay, thanks for the reply. I had a feeling it wouldnt work, guess he's going to have to get another one

Hi All,
I am new here so hi.
I am thinking of getting a TP2 and possibly getting the VF TP2 since they seem to have some good tariffs, better than my current fruity operator !!!
However....
I am very concerned about their version of the TP2 and the mods that they have made to it. Does anyone know what these are like the VF red/white UI.
I am seriously wondering whether it may be better to go for an unlocked version from somewhere like Clove or Expansys but I still need to buy the network access package which apparently costs the same ie around £30/month.
Thanks in advance,
Sam
I can stand Telstra and as they are only available in Australia via Telstra, i want to purchase one outright. I want to know if anyone knows if this phone will work well on the 3 network.
The unlocked HTC desire will work on any network in Australia (not as good on telstra). I'm getting mine from clove on the 7th . Plussss, it's ALOT cheaper getting it imported from the UK, all up it comes to like $550 if i can remember right. It will be around $800 outright from Telstra.
P.S i forgot to mention that you can't get it from t-mobile, you'll have to wait for the unlocked version.

I'm pretty sure all of the T-Mobile ones are unlocked . Check with others on the forums. T-mobile is probably not an option anyway unless you have a UK address- I dont think they sell them outright??
Will definitely work on 3mobile Australia. I'm also getting one from clove. I'm checking about every hour to see if they have brought the shipping date forward
T-Mobile ones are LOCKED.
Both versions will work on Three, but the International version will not work on Telstra

by International I mean the sim-free/unlocked ones from Handtec/Clove etc

Ive asked for clarification of that from wiki mod. I don't see why you couldn't use NextG. Unless the APac model is different from the AU model, they all support the same bands.
Do you know any reason why NextG differs from other 850 networks? Not that I care - Id rather cut my arm off with a rusty saw than go on a telstra plan. Just curious, thats all.
hey guys
so im planning to sell my htc desire and buy a nexus s instead.
im living in germany and i guess i would have to order the nexus s from an american shop. would there be any problem with the network? or is that all good?
another question:
im selling the htc desire on ebay. is it simlocked? or netlocked?
can i just sell it after flashing an original ruu?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
those ruus are only exe files though. how can you apply them to your phone??
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP
This forum is awesome!!
You open the .exe installsheild on your PC and plug the phone in and run the wizard, and if you buy a US nexus s and try to used it on Vodafone or even T-Mobile EU or Orange or O2 or any other EU network it WILL ONLY GET EDGE!, but calls WILL WORK So beware of that, also, you don't need to flash the RUU, infact, some people pay MORE for a rooted phone, so they don't have to do it them self.
Best of luck

thanks !! useful advice
one more question why is there only edge with the nexus s in germany?
If you get the GSM Nexus S from the UK then it should work fine. If you get it from the US then it won't as they use different bands than Europe

I loved Cyprus -- when I was a kid toured around on a motorcycle. Anyway, there are different phones for different markets. The US t-mo phone will (of course) do data on t-mo but also, will work on at&t. It will also work on the more universal 2100 3G frequency for Europe and Asia.
If you buy the typical Euro phone, it does not have the 3G frequencies which work in the USA. On the other hand, any of the phones should connect w/o issue for text and voice.
Make sure, if he's buying on line, he does not get a version designed for some of the Arab language markets which do not have market.
Hey guys,
Has anyone here bought or had anything to do with Aliexpress? I want to buy an HTC One M8 my self, but I come across different models, which are usually 16/32GB EU and 16/32GB US version. for example: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Unlo...G-WIFI-Quad-Core-5-0-Dual-4MP/1993568822.html
Does anyone know what is the difference between them? Could I still use the US version in Europe? US version is cheaper and has more space (16GBvs32GB).
And if anybody bought from there, what is your experience, was everything okay?
Thanks in advance
useful
Yeah, I want to know too, as prices are significantly lower than ebay, like 20% off
did anyone bought from there?

Read through the feedback, though stars are high. Couple of them are trying to change the faulty devices they received (which is gonna take lot of time). Also, there could be problem with the antenna not working for US LTE bands. By the way, US CDMA (Verizon/Sprint) won't work on this. Also, if it comes with SIM locked version, you will have to do all the research and work (saw recently in M8 forum). Maybe contact the seller and know product ID, network bands etc
