Well the topic is about the Desire and how to get it but I was not sure which forum to put it in so posted it here.
Well my Brother is moving to London for 2 years. Now he has his N95 (unlocked) which he would like to continue using as he has his paid apps installed on it and stuff.
Now he's getting a HTC Desire on contract. So If he uses the Contract Sim in his N95 and sends back the Desire to me here in India, I could unlock it and use it with any data carrier here in India right?
Yes you could unlock / debrand the Desire and use it on another network.

This reminds me of one of those Nigeria scams

you will be able to use it no probs in india, you may want to check with the network you use in india and make sure that they use a compatible 3g band if that is important to you
Bhai sab fit! It will defo work. What Network is your Bro on?

He will be either on T Mobile or Vodafone
The network won't care right even if he's using his contract sim in his other unlocked phone?

Thanks a lot
Well I use vodafone here and as of yet there is no 3G so it might not make a differrnce. Any idea what 3G band is used in India though?

Thank you
Oh and one more thing.
Some guy on tech enclave was saying that if you unlock your phone using the unlock code the phone will once again get locked after I update my phone software to Froyo.
Is that true? I thought this only happened in iPhones? If it's true what are my alternative means of unlocking?
Thank you everyone
Simply re use the same unlock code you originally used to unlock the phone and you'll be fine.

That would work right? Or will they not let you re use the same code?
It worked for me when my phone was re locked after debranding, its worked for others on here too.

Could you tell me what site you or others used for unlocking the phone from which you could re use the key?
Anyone know How much would it cost in customs to get a Desire from the UK to India?
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

I got mine from expansys-usa.com/d.aspx?i=196037

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.
Regards,
Dave
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.

I'd buy from http://htcpedia.com/

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.

Hey guys,
My 3g network will drop if my phone is left unattended for a kong period of time. Anyone facing the same thing as me?
How to solve this problem?

Hi guys,
Anyone has any ideas about this?
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk
Try telling us
Which country
What area
What Telco
Then maybe someone in the same locations or with the same telco will answer you
I am in Australia and with Vodafone and MY reasons for loss of 3G would not concur with yours
Singapore on telco starhub.

I just wanna know if apps or games installation will cause this?

Might buy my gf a G2, but she's on AT&T. I can get s-off and all that, I would just like to know how well it performs on their network.
What are the 2G speeds on there? Any downsides besides being on 2G 24/7?
Thanks for any helpful input!
The 2g should really be the only downside. I used unlocked jailbroken iphones on tmobile and my only beef was the data connection. Hoping android gets as responsive(I don't give a **** what any of you fanboys say or think..ios is still smoother overall)as ios before the merger(which it should) or I might take a trip down apple-lane again.
But it should be a good fit for her minus data speeds...sorry for the rant lol

you'd be much better off getting a Bell HTC Desire Z from Canada. All the major networks up here (Bell, Telus, Rogers) use the same frequencies as AT&T so you'd get the full 3g/(fake)4g speeds.

...nice man. I personally think iphones ain't that good but that's just me man.

I would love to, but I'm getting a decent deal for one locally so I can't go the desire z route, unless I find someone willing to trade.
My gf has a blackberry, once I unlock the g2 or desire z, can I just pop in the sim and it'll work or does she's have to switch plans?
Thanks guys!

I was really happy to get a Desire Z thinking I would be able to toss my active Straight talk/AT&T sim into it and be off and running. Unfortunately after rooting, unlocking, flashing a new rom, and entering the APN's, I'm still stuck with only a really slow EDGE connection. There was an old post about flashing a new radio, I'm curious to know if anyone got it working correctly?
Thanks!
So everyone here is on Tmobile? No one has a Desire Z on AT&T (with or without straight talk)?
Look around a bit more, that's why no one answered...
