gsm cdma

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

[Q] Will the G2 and/or Desire Z work on AT&T's network?

I am new to the Android scene and I would like to know if the G2 and/or Desire Z work fine on AT&T's network? I have no problem with rooting as long as tools and documentation are available. I'm not a professional at this but I can usually follow the instructions. I've rooted an HTC Inspire but that was already on AT&T's network so, no issues there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Yes you can. You must get the HTC Desire Z a7275 model. This model is also known as the Bell Desire Z because Bell is the carrier. You can get one for as low as 450 USD on ebay but make sure you get the right kind. The G2 and other Desire Z version will work but they will not get 3G. Only the A7275 will get 3G.

Ok, thanks a lot for that!!!

Also, if you get the A7275 Desire Z, it needs to be SIM unlocked to be able to use it on AT&T. Either already SIM unlocked from the seller, or you can root and use gfree to unlock the SIM yourself.

Ok, SIM unlock and gfree should not be a problem for me.
thanks again!!!

I'm considering buying an HTC Desire Z from an Ebay seller located in Canada. Can anyone tell me if there are any duty fees / taxes for importing into the USA and if so, how these are paid, etc. I've never bought anything like this from outside the USA so, I have no idea what to expect.
Again, any advice would be appreciated.

I did the same with Ebay. I did not get any extra fees. The seller just sent it through Canada Post and then once it got to the US it went through USPS. It only took about a week. UPS and Fedex would be faster but a lot more expensive.

Just a heads up, Canada Post is currently engaged in a "labour dispute" with its union, so packages may take longer to be delivered. You could look for sellers that ship via UPS or Fedex, but I hear that they charge ridiculous brokerage fees (for the cross-border transaction).

Thanks to everyone for their input! My HTC Desire Z is great! Those of you wanting a moderatly sized android with a good physical keyboard, buy the Desire Z. All the junk I saw about the Z hinges being loose and other wierd stuff some people are able to make the hinge mechanism do, I have had none of those problems for over a month now. If you expect the Z hinge to keep an air tight seal when closed then this phone may not be for you but for those who have some understanding of mechanics, I don't think you will have any issues with it. Thanks again!!!

Looking to buy Bell P930

Hi guys,
I am looking to buy a LNIB p930, with the plastic still on the screen.
What are your thoughts about this phone? I am going to be running 3g/HSPA+, So I'm hoping the battery life would be usable as compared to LTE.
Any other thoughts about this phone?
The seller is asking for $300, which would be a steal - the rival SGS2 LTE goes for $450 new in box
Please leave some comments, let me know what you think about this phone!!
Thanks

for 300 i would jump on it dude, I bought mine for 400 and im very happy with it.
Now that we have ICS, this phone rocks!

I would get it. I live mine and bought the nitro off a guy for 220$. Best phone I ha e had.
Sent from my LG-P930 using XDA

Yes I would say $300 is a good price. It is quite an amazing phone on ICS, and yeah, not running LTE 24/7 does make a significant difference on battery life.

which one to choose?
I currently using LG P970, and now planning to upgrade to LG P930, just want to know what's the differences for this phone...
LG Nitro HD, LG Optimus LTE LU6200, LG Optimus LTE SU640
...and my choice is LU6200, can this phone flash to P930 firmware?
hope somebody can give more information about this phone, thank you.
~sorry for my bad english~

[Q] UK LG G3 D855 on Straight Talk

I was wondering if its best to get the unlock UK LG G3 D855 or just wait for the ATT D850 version to use with my straight talk (I have a att sim)?
Also I live in Florida so will the Frequency of the UK Version work in the US? (example Like 4G, MMS, ETC)
Any drawbacks?

buying G3 in HK and bringing back to FR

Hi,
I'm on vacation in HK (cool city BTW), wondering if it is possible to buy a G3 there then bringing it back to France? All the functionality ll work? 4G, call, etc.
Thanks you for helping me guys

If the model number is D855 then yes, you may need to change the firmware in order to select the LTE band though. Not 100% sure if the HK model is different to the 855 so you'd need to check it all first to be surr

Hey welcome to hk. to answer your question the G3 sold locally at retail stores are the D855 varient. the bands are as follow.
LTE 800/900/1800/2100/2600
HSDPA UMTS 900 2100
GSM 850 900 1800 1900
You can buy paralle imports since you won't be honored with warranty from LG in France with a hk model phone anyways. they're usually $1000-$1500 HKD cheaper than retail. hope you find what you need!
www.price.com.hk is a good place to start

I am not sure, you would have to check with LG on that part. On a side note, you should get the F460 Cat 6 version since you're in hk. they have them imported from s.korea for around 4700 hkd :laugh:

I don't think the Mi4 is out yet, but you can preorder. I think they'll be available late august, so if you're still in hk, then thats fine.
As for other phones, u can definitely check out the Oppo find 7 or oneplus one which many stores have in stock. i think those are great buys attheir respective prices. Another phone i would look into with ultra thin bezel is the Sharp AQUOS ZETA SH-04F.
