I'm loaning my Dell Venue Pro to my GF, and looking to get another phone. Unfortunately there are three requirements i have to full fill.
1) physical qwerty keyboard.
2) windows 7 mobile (and preferably HTC)
3) has to be able to use t-mobile frequencies 1700 & 2100.
What is the best phone on the market in that range (not really worried about price) and are there any new ones I should be waiting for?
thx
There's only two I'm aware of that meet just part of your requirements: T-Mobile HTC HD7 and Dell Venue Pro. No other WP7 phones have the radio freqs you need.

Agreed, searched Google & can't find any other WP7 devices on any carriers that use the AWS frequencies that T-Mobile USA uses.
Maybe wait for Mango, or switch to Sprint where you would have a phone that meets all three of those requirements.
Thanks for the info guys, it's kind what i found while researching but i needed some confirmations.
I actually can't use either t-mobile or sprint because i'm in Canada and one of the new carriers is running the same frequencies as t-mobile. Which is why it's one of my requirements.
Thanks for the replies guys.
I'd just wait to loan it to her for a couple months and see what comes out.
I love my lg quantum, but you'll have To get the unlocked version LG C900 Optimus 7Q. It is the most solid of all of the wp7 and the only other wp7 device with a qwerty keyboard. The screen is a little small but it makes it look sharp. It is the most under rated wp7 phone out there. It is the only wp with a built in registry editor.

Is there a version of it that supports AWS 3G frequencies? This is what he's asking for as his service provider uses AWS (1700/2100MHz 3G), same as T-Mobile USA & a few other provider in the US & Canada do.
Only other hope is a Nokia WP7 device. Their recent devices have all been penta band so will work with AWS. Might not get a keyboard model in their first batch though.
Yes, 2100mhz.

It needs both 1700/2100. So it won't work. I agree about the other person with pentaband, but that won't be the case with WP7 Nokia devices. Qualcomm doesn't have pentaband. The Nokia pentaband is a Broadcomm chip. Don't know what is taking Qualcomm so long to do this...

Oh great! Didn't know it was the Broadcomm chip that enabled pentaband. That means my plan to get an unlocked Nokia is out the window as well. Guess I have to stay with my current phone then. Thanks for the info.

Are you referencing the fact that both Dell (suposedly this month) is releasing their firmware update and Microsoft supposedly releasing Mango at the end of August?
If Canadian carriers didn't screw us over for data i'd be able to buy other phones, but i'm SoL right now to stick with mobilicity
why not just get another dvp?
the new firmware will be on it.. it is unlocked... mango is almost out (and you could also put beta 2 on it if you like...)
it is also hella cheap.. $299

Several reasons actually.
1) Dell refuses to ship to Canada or accept Canadian billing addresses. , the first time around i had to get a friend to buy it on his CC then ship it up to me. Because UPS has a brocrage fee it was another 100 bucks to cross the border.
2) Dell pissed me off. The first one I shattered on a plastic body kit for my car, and it took over a month to actually get one shipped up here. That was calling them every other day to keep the ball rolling. I'd still be waiting had I not done that.
3) I had to manually program all the Mobilicity settings into the DVP. I'm hoping the other carrier my gf is on won't require me to plug all the txt and mms settings into the phone, she's not the worlds most technical so i want something that just works for her.
Where do I get Beta 2?

Wrong... Check your facts... Dvp only has 850/1900/2100. No 1700

That would be the at&t version. T-Mobile uses 1700/2100 for 3G and was the first DVP sold back in November 2010.

No phones meet your criteria because "windows 7 mobile" is not a phone OS. If you want a mobile Windows 7 device, try an Acer Icona W500 or an Asus EEE pad.

hey guys
I was wondering if there is anyone that has bought an unlocked TP2, and who has AT&T, could tell me if the unlocked version of the phone works with AT&T's 3G bands. I've been asking this question all around the rhodium forums, and I've been getting some very convincing answers, but I really need to hear it from someone who has actually purchased the phone and who has AT&T in the U.S.
and also, does anyone know if there is any form of warranty or insurance offered when you buy an unlocked phone?? that's one of my major needs, just in case something unexpected happens. If there isn't then I'm gonna have to wait until AT&T releases their "customized" version of the TP2. with all of AT&T's design flaws.
thanks!!
i dont believe so if i remember correctly it does not have 850 and 1900 band for highspeed...you would only get edge connection and make calls.
TP2 For USA?
I have also been looking high and low, I have located a decent website that really sets me at ease as a buyer the TP2 is not here yet, but it is still early- either way, the FAQ really set me at ease, I am planning my Tp2 to be purchased from them- not only is there an option to assure connectivity in the US on all levels of at&t'S network, but the freq's upon which the phone one purchases are listed on the site- AT&T to my understanding is on 850 & 1900 mhz- which is clearly displayed here- not only that, but here is a "compatibility" chart where one can actually select the network of any proposed purchase-
http://www.cellhut.com
Like I said, the FAQ really made me feel at ease- plus they offer an additional warranty along with the manufacturer's (for purchase)-
that is the plan, I will definitely post any positive results- It is tempting to just buy a new TyTNII sans the AT&T crap, plus the front camera, instead of waiting for the TP2...

Sorry to disappoint you but the best option is to wait for the AT&T release. Here's why:
Starting with the Touch Diamond and the Touch Pro, HTC released a European model which does not contain AT&T 3G bands and is only useable on the EDGE network which is much slower. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the only brand new factory unlocked versions have been the European or Asian models. The price is also much higher for an unbranded unlocked phone. All indications are that they will be doing the same thing with the Touch Pro2. The following is the specs on the TP2 straight from HTC's European website: Here's the link.
NetworkHSPA/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.)
You can see that HSPA (3G) is only supported at 900/2100. AT&T uses 850/1900 for 3G. I made the mistake of purchasing the HTC Touch Pro from Europe then had to sell it for a $400 loss on eBay and purchase the AT&T Fuze from an AT&T store.
Typically, HTC releases their new devices in Europe and Asia 1-2 months prior to a US release. It may be torture to have to sit and wait on it while your friends across the pond are already flashing new ROMs to their new shiny phone, but you'll be much better off.
really? there is another thread on the rhodium forum titled "unbranded touch pro 2" and the thread starter posted a link from infosync.com saying that HTC is planning to release a version of the TP2 in the summer that will be compatible with AT&T's 3G bands. how true is that? i hope its true! im getting really anxious and impatient!

Yes, I read that after I made my post above. That is great news since I don't think I am going to like AT&T's modifications. I am not eligible for an upgrade yet anyway since I bought the Fuze not that long ago. I wonder if it will be released at the same time as the Europe/Asia models.
I can't find the TP2 on cellhut.com. They must have taken it off their site. I certainly wouldn't trust a dealer that I am not familiar with and hasn't been vouched for on this forum.
don't you think the reason it's not on the site is because it's not out yet? I was actually thinking about just buying it straight from HTC, but the one thing I need to be sure of is if it will support AT&T's 3G bands.
so none of the TP2s being sold on expansys or any of the other sites that are offering them will support U.S. 3G?

Expansys has the UK model listed. They will probably sell the US unlocked version as well, but I would never buy from them again. They lie about items being in stock and I have never received anything from them quickly. When I've purchased from overseas in the past I have used Clove who have always been honest about stock and are very fast shippers. Hopefully newegg.com will have it. They sell some other unlocked HTC phones.
so once those sites start selling the US unlocked TP2, we can buy it from there and they'll work with the US 3G bands right? we just have to wait until the unlocked ones are available online?
Hey everybody,
I actually emailed HTC-America ([email protected]) and I asked them if the Unlocked-US version of the TP2 would support 3G networks. I said that they confirmed on their twitter feed that it would be coming to the US, so I was rightly wondering whether an Unlocked-US version would support our weird 3G frequencies.
I think there was a misunderstanding because they said that the HTC twitter feed was in no way run or affiliated with HTC, which doesn't make sense because ON the TP2's product overview page, they actually link to their Facebook, YouTube, and TWITTER accounts.
So I emailed them back saying that of course they have to run that twitter feed, and asked them the question again, but they probably won't get back to me until Monday at least. I'll keep everybody updated on the responses I get, as I, and many others, would REALLY hate to buy another AT&T subsidized model of anything.
Dave
thank man that's good. that doesn't make any sense tho! how can they say that they're not affiliated with the HTC twitter feed? that's stupid lol. keep us updated bro!!!

I mention Clove in case you ever plan to buy from the UK. Quite positive they won't be selling the US version anyway. If there is a US unlocked version look for it to say UMTS or HSPA with the bands 850/1900. For GSM it will be quad-band and work most places in the world. Of course, online retailers sometimes make mistakes in their listings so you may want to confirm it by contacting the company you purchase from, or even better wait for someone who bought one to post their results in this forum.
I got the reply from HTC today, and it was a kind of mixed answer. The reply to my last email I sent was this:
... I understand how important it is to have the full information for upcoming products. Until there is information for this product available on HTC's United States web page, then we would not be able to confirm the specs for an American release of this device ...

Soooo, even though they "officially" announced it coming to the US, it's not officially announced that it's coming to the US? I don't know what they mean, but by the way the email used "until" instead of "unless" and other ways it was phrased, I think the answer is yes, we will get an American release. But, maybe I'm just over analyzing it. Tell me what you guys think about it.
Dave
it just seems like they don't wanna give away any info about the TP2, even tho they already did. they're not making any sense by saying there is no word on a U.S. release, when we all know that there was an announcement of a U.S. release a while back. seems like they're basically saying there will be a U.S. release; they just wanna be secretive about it at the moment, which seems pointless to me

i think that its more so the fact that when it come to the US they have contracts with all these companies that rebrand the device. so they choose to with hold the info to give those companies the best chance at selling the rebranded products.

I agree with you that there will not likely be a US unlocked version since I don't recall HTC ever doing that before, but how do you know for sure?

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.

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'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.

hey a myfaves tab in touchflo
Hey,
Does anyone know if there are any plans to bring this device to Europe or if I can import it from Japan or something?
I love the look of it, but I really want a phone with at least 32gb storage which isn't looking likely atm... If none of the nokia phones have 32gb+ I really want to try and get one of these Fujitsu phones.
been very interested in the is12t as well for availability. but its been dead silent
Its unlikely as it was provisioned by the carrier in Japan KDDI or something like that. Also it is CDMA and the tech used in Japan will only work in Japan on the cdma network there.
It is possible another, similar device for GSM could be released after some prior of time.

Well, just call those shops which import Japanese games and comics and they should do the job for you.
Here is the link in Yahoo Japan, which sells IS12T standalone machines without contract and SIM lock.

I may consider to get one, as NAND built-in should be much faster than MicroSD in my Trophy, esp. 32GB ones.

It definitely supports GSM, so should work in Europe.
Sounds like it could be SIM-locked to a Japanese carrier. Are you sure you bough an unlocked one?

Well, are you really know what those Japanese means before you buy?
白ロム(White ROM) = empty ROM
ロッククリア済(Lock clear finished) = unlocked
Many of them just said empty ROM but without stating unlocked, which are possibly be locked ones.
In google by typing "IS12T unlock" there should have website suggestions which are selling unlock services.
BTW, how much in total have you got? I may also would like to have one if it is not too costly.
I think I payed like less than 400 euro to get it.
KDDI says there are no unlocked devices and they can't be unlocked!!!
Hm now to work on this otherwise I have to sell it again XD

They said, but there are somebody who has full paid the machine should have got the unlocked ones. (Unlocked by default/standalone, locked when got bundled plan)
According to this site:
http://nanapho.jp/archives/tag/IS12T/page/2/
You may check if it is really unlocked.
Step:
1) Choose "Wi-Fi" in "Settings"
2) Press the "PRL Setting" button for 10 secs or more
3) Press "*6#27" when the numeric keypad comes out
4) The page will be jumped to "Information"
If the column "Line Registered" is 0, then it is unlocked, otherwise (1) it is locked.
Thank you for the information.
I checked it and it says "0" so it is unlocked!
Maybe my sim cards are not working properly I had some issues earlier.
I tried different things and nothing seems to work :-(
If someone is interested I am going to sell it for 380 euro just pn me
It is the best phone I ever held in my hand!!!

Nokia Ace coming March 18th, all of these LTE phones are for AT&T, Nokia Lumia 710 coming to Verizon in April (WTF)
Yay! LTE at last. I'm glad I'm with AT&T, but WP7 needs to support all carriers if it's going to take off. I'm very happy with my Titan, but I'm anxious to see what the Radiant looks like. If Samsung has a 4.7 SAMOLED screen, it will give the Titan a run for its money.
Damn when is Sprint going to get new windows phone...
Some of the first images of the AT&T Nokia device posted over at pocketnow: http://pocketnow.com/windows-phone/nokia-ace-windows-phone-for-att-pictured-images
I see at&t is getting all the phones now, hopefully Tmobile will get some love.

Nokia Lumia 900 coming soon!

You can buy one on ebay today.....
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nokia-Lumia...0983743510?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item3373a85416
LOLzz... Returns not accepted, and the one on ebay supports micro SD cards. >_>
On a side note, I like the white usb able and charger. Also good to just see it in a box. Just boost my confidence that it is coming soon.
I called my local At$t store and they told me to call back on Sunday, the 25th and they would have details for me.
these gonna work on T-mo?
Geez I've never seen one in person and I'm already kinda bored of it. Wasn't this phone announced like last September?
It was announced in January of this year during CES. You're thinking of the 800.

Yes, it will but you might have to carrier unlock the phone. But your 3G won't work! If you don't mind using EDGE then you can go get it. Otherwise i would recommend you switch to att or buy the 710 from t-mo or wait for new phones to be released in T-mo//

There's been some rumblings that the 900 supports AWS, which would mean T-Mobile 3G support. I'll believe it when I see it.
COOL
Cool Phone
Nokia going to be the best again.

I believe the AWS bands are for AT&T's LTE network so I don't think it would work. I wonder if there is any way you can flash a different radio so somehow it would work on T-Mobiles 3G/4G like the AT&T Galaxy Note.
mmmmann. i'd really pay for this if I could use it on T-mo
I could possibly get my hands on an AT&T Lumia 900 for free. But it seems I wouldn't even be able to use it here in Germany. Sucks balls. :/

preordering tommorow!
Anyone know if it's going to be available at Costco for pre-order on March 30th or if it will be available on launch date there?
Hey guys. I just got the lumia yesterday so if anyone has any questions let me know!
This is my 1st windows phone so I'm pretty juiced.
I really don't know too much about other windows phones but this one has visual voicemail and Internet sharing. So like tethering but without having to use a USB connection. Also the phone uses a micro sim. Just like the iPhone 4/4s.
But yeah ask away ill be more than happy to answer all questions. Thanks
EDIT: tried posting some pics but I guess I'm too new to post links...
Can you send video in MMS yet? I thought this was a launch date feature of the 900 but I could be wrong.
