If it has a SIM Card, then it's a GSM One V. If it doesn't have one, it's a CDMA One V. Be sure to use the correct ones for your phone!

Do you have sim-card on your phone? If you have it is an Gsm-phone. If not it is CDMA.
yeah i got a sim-card, so it's all about if i have a sim card or not? but can't my Touch Diamond be both CDMA and GSM?
sry that i ask so stupid questions, but im new to the Touch Diamond.

nope, it can't. You have gsm. Thats it..
They also make a cdma diamond, but it can't use GSM.
If you wanna know more about the difference between GSM and CDMA, you can visit this site:
http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-difference-between-gsm-and-cdma.htm
For short, your phone is GSM, so you SHOULD NOT upgrade your Diamond with a CDMA rom.
let's see if i get this right, since i got a sim-card that i can use in any phone i want to and still have the other phone activated, it's not CDMA? or am i completely out and nothing near the real thing about CDMA? oO
CDMA is a usa 3g system running on 850 and 1800 net they dont use simcard in there phones it is build in so if u want to subcribe to a cdma network ( sprint a so on ] u need to actived the phone sim
gsm is an all over the world used system whit have an simcard
Quite simply, GSM and CDMA are two different types of networks. Likewise, the GSM and CDMA Diamonds are two different phones.
and what about european 3G/UMTS - with USIM ?
I noticed everything in this Desire section is related to the GSM Desire. Are there any custom ROMs yet for the CDMA Desire? I was to get the Clockworkmod recovery to boot from an update.zip and that appears to work ok but every Desire ROM I've tried refuses to boot.
I can't seem to find much information at all about the CDMA Desire via searching the forums or just searching on Google. From what I can tell all the hardware specifications are the same except for the radio (CDMA vs GSM). Might it be possible that current ROMs built for the GSM Desire will work for the CDMA version if a custom kernel for CDMA is compiled?
I wasn't even aware that a CDMA Desire existed!

Dave
There was an Australian desire version. That's the only I can think about.
There is supposed to be an US version, but I think it's not available yet.

I have a desire in South Korea that has a WCDMA sim card in it running on the SK Telecom network. Are we saying that android 2.2 port that the devs here created will only work on GSM desires? Also, does anyone know if I use an unlock code on my phone if it disrupt my service?
Sounds to me like you have a regular Desire because WCDMA is part of the GSM standard for 3G!
Regards,
Dave
No CDMA Desire out there. You guys already have the Incredible, the Evo and Droid X that don't work anywhere else but America and you want more still?
Like Dave says WCDMA is a different variant/name of the 3G network.
Strange that the Roms aren't working for you. The innards should be the same inside.

I have a CDMA Desire. It's a test unit for one of the smaller carriers in the states (I'm not in the states) I'm using as an internet tablet/android plaything. If you guys want to know anything about it let me know.
The CDMA Desire has launched on U.S. regional carrier U.S. Cellular. Here's a link. I'll be picking one up tomorrow.

I'll be getting one in a couple of months. I'm curious if rooting/custom roms will work normally on it.
CDMA Desire
I have heard that Mighty Mike @ Mightyrom.com is working on a Desire Rom with 2.2!
Hes on Telus but his Touch Pro 2 Roms worked on US Celular!

The Telus Touch Pro 2 is a CDMA phone and so is the USC version. So it makes sense the ROMs would be compatible.
The Telus Desire is a GSM/HSPA phone - Telus launched an HSPA network in late 2009 and they're slowly trying to make their old CDMA network irrelevant. I can almost certainly guarantee you that his Desire ROM *won't* work on a CDMA Desire.
Well that would suck!

I am pretty sure we will not see any custom roms for our desires. However, thats not all that bad. If we can just get root. Then we can uninstall what we want, tweak what we want, Install wifi teather, etc..
I still think we can be rooted in almost the same manner as the incredible. Damn near exactly the same phone.
Anyone know how to get ahold of the unrevoked team? maybe they can help. They seem to root everything.

I was thinking about buying a Desire Z so I can use it with AT&T 3G (850/1900 bands)
Does it matter which Desire Z I buy? I know it obviously cannot be the G2, but does it matter if it's the Bell version or a Canadian one.
Thanks for any help XDA!
P.S. If I got a Desire Z with AT&T 3G, I could use it with the dumb - fone unlimited da,ta plan right?
Well technically the Bell version is Canadian. But you need to get the A7275 model number, or Bell Canada version as you said. Only this model will work for AT&T.
Also, it's seems to be luck of the draw with the dumb phone unlimited data. Some say that they don't get caught because AT&T can't see what kind of phone it is because it isn't an AT&T phone. Others say that they get caught anyways. I don't think there is a definite answer to that one.
I believe there is also a UK version.. would that work with AT&T 3G?

Thanks for the info.. very useful.
Looking at a A7275 right now
No problem, happy to have another AT&T user on board with the DZ!
I'm trying to find a good phone for my GF and I need one that uses at&t bands for 3g
I saw this phones and it looks perfect for her... but I need to know which model has those bands...
can someone help me with this? please? =)
i think that by flashing an radio from bell from Canada it would do the trick BUT I'm not sure of it so it would be best for you to get an Desire HD/ Inspire 4G that it's more or less the same hardware just with no keyboard.
The thing is... I want it to have a keyboard =P

This won't work -- frequency support is set at the factory and cannot be changed. You need to actually get the Bell version of the Desire Z (model: A7275).
