Does anyone out there have an A8183 that isn't running on 3G?
~HR
Yes. I do.
I'm looking to see if anyone has an A8183 that wants to trade for ny A8181. My provider doesn't support 3G for this fone, so I'm looking for someone that is in the same boat in Australia with an A8183.

Hi all,
Im from the UK and going to states in October. I am HOPING that the desire HD gets announced before then and the desire gets reduced in price and i can pick one up contract free for my sister.
Where's a good place to buy them contract free? I took a look at bestbuy but they dont stock desire?!?
I cant think of any other US retailers...
Thanks in advance
There's no good place to buy a Desire in the US, because apart from CDMA Desire (which won't work in Europe at all), the Desire is not designed to work with US networks.
Regards,
Dave

It's quad band GSM so it works with AT&T or T-mobile. I'm using the former because you can now also get 100mb data for US$20 (expires in one month) on prepaid. I'm using it now!

Best Chance is buying it from TELUS in Canada

The Desire A8181 will not work with either AT&T or T-Mobile for 3G - the best you will get is EDGE.
The Desire A8183 will work on AT&T 3G, but not T-Mobile.

P.S. $20 for 100mb prepaid data? You guys are really being hosed by the carriers!
Is your sister going to be using her phone in the US? or in the UK? The US isn't a great place to obtain an HTC Desire because (except for the CDMA version) there are no carriers who sell it, and HTC doesn't sell unlocked phones direct to US retailers. If she's in the UK, buy it on your side of the pond. If she's in the US (if and only if on AT&T), she'd want the Telus (Canada) or Telstra (Australia) version.
My sister is going to use it in the UK.
oh damn i didnt realise it wasnt that big in USA and locked...
I was going to get her a nexus but they're not for sale any more. Dang. Basically i want a cheap Android phone thats has nexus' spec.
I am limited to Edge, that's true!
I have unlimited data back home so the option for prepaid data when visiting the US is great, albeit expensive.

Doesn't Vodafone UK still sell the Nexus One? Easier for you to get there than in the US.

Don't know about "cheap" though. Good luck.

The Nexus One *is* still for sale - it's just Googles store that went under.
See here for more details.

I'm heading to greece on my honeymoon monday. Coming from my blackberry days I know the phone had to be unlocked first to work overseas. I just want to make sure if I get to greece I can use a prepaid card opposed to Verizon's ridicuolous overseas plans they offer. I'm using a rooted gingersense tomorrow if that matters.

What you could try is asking VZW for the unlock code, when you place another sim in it will ask for code and then sim unlock. Otherwise have to use xtc clip.

yea XTC clip is one way, and like mentioned above, call verizon they will help you out with anything you need.
you can also buy an unlock code if you can't get it from verizon.
I purchased this HTC desire 816x from Amazon. It is a dual sim unicom version. I was wondering if they all come unlocked, besides the bootloader, and supercid. All I had to do was unlock bootloader and flash twrp. It was already supercid and s-off. It was purchased new. I'm just curious if anyone purchased this phone like this and if theirs were unlocked and s-off with supercid.

If it was S-OFF it couldn't have been new.
I thought desire 816 didn't have s off yet...
I purchased it March 2 or 3 and it was shipped from China a day or two later. It had the screen protector from the factory and all of the plastic covering the case and all that good stuff. I pulled the back cover and no refurbished sticker anywhere.

.....
I have heard of other people getting such phones from Taiwan and China. They're all S-off and super-cid and they run sense 5.5 (probably illegally unlocked from carrier and sold outside china). I suggest you look into the update procedures as that's the most frequent problem people have had with them.
It is running sense 6. I'm not too sure about updating.
