I know this is in the wrong place, but it's the only place with Oppo in the thread title.
Anyone hear about the new device? I don't know if it works on TMO or not but it's in the same spec range as the Moto X and Nexus 4, but at a $350 price point.

Looks SUPER thin, and its face resembles an Iphone.
Yep.. Its their newest device. Already being used in China. It should work on T-Mobile as well. Not a bad device at all. I played with it at XDAevCon and it was fast and smooth, running AOSP, and the camera is great on it!

The bands for it are:
GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 - SIM 1 & SIM 2
HSDPA 850 / 900 / 2100 - SIM 1 & SIM 2
That means it's really only mostly compatible with AT&T. You'll get T-Mobile EDGE and be able to make phone calls as well as maybe some 850 AWS in areas that have that. But that's it.
But on AT&T you'll have issues as well with HSDPA as the 1900 isn't supported.

Hey Everyone,
I recently pre-ordered the Galaxy Nexus from Bell on contract for three years thinking that Wind and Mobilicty are CDMA. (I know, I'm crazy). I have just figured out that they are in fact a GSM network. My question is that if I changed my order from bell from a three year contract to unlocked, will it work on Mobilicity's service? I know there probably won't be 4G speeds but if I can get a plan with unlimited calling and data for $17.50 per month instead of the 500mb and 200 minutes im getting with Bell for $50 a month, I'd rather get it unlocked.
Note: If you say it will work, please provide some evidence of some sort, e.g. some specs that state that the Galaxy Nexus will work with Mobilicity's network
Thanks so much everyone, and if you could reply as fast as possible it would be extremely appreciated as the promotion that they have for $17.50 might be over really soon so I'll buy it right away.

Galaxy Nexus is penta-band 3G phone...so the HSPA version will work on that network.
You're ok with it,enjoy the phone.

Are you sure? I don't mind having slow speeds (HSPA) but my budget is really low and I really want to make sure that the phone will work with Mobilicity out of the box
Yes it will work. Relax

Thanks, but could anyone point me to specifications for the galaxy nexus which tells me what frequencies or radios they use? I'm really bad at this kind of stuff
Thanks again all
Even though you would have a hard time finding any GSM/UMTS/HSPA network it doesn't work on you could always check the list on Wikipedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UMTS_networks#Americas
It says Mobilicity uses the same frequencies as T-Mobile US, a frequency that is both listed in the official specs and is something some people is already using it on without issues.

Edit: So the Galaxy Nexus works with 1700 band IV (AWS)? http://imgur.com/NJrCK
Edit2: So, according to http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_nexus-4219.php, the galaxy nexus has the following:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100
So Mobilicity definitely supports this?
Edit 3: According to a Wikipedia page on Mobilicity:
"Network
The company also has a cell-site sharing agreement with Bell Mobility to share cell tower space in all Mobilicity zones[12]. The network uses the UMTS IV frequency band, also known as AWS, to provide UMTS (with HSPA) service[13]. Using this band, user equipment transmits at 1710–1755 MHz, and receives at 2110–2155 MHz. AWS is the same frequency as Wind Mobile and Videotron in Canada and T-Mobile USA. Like WIND, Mobilicity does not have a 2G, EDGE, GPRS GSM Network.
Mobilicity's network is compatible with the same handsets and devices as Wind Mobile and Videotron networks, and UMTS handsets and devices offered by T-Mobile USA.

So is the Galaxy Nexus a UMTS handset that works with T-Mobile USA?
Thanks again guys, sorry for being a complete noob

I already said so, yes. Should be no problem. My mention of T-Mobile US was only if you wanted to know actual users who are already running it on those frequencies.
Yes, it's a UMTS handset that works with T-Mobile USA. I don't know how I can make it any clearer.
EDIT: Well, to clarify it a bit more I can say that HSPA (HSDPA and HSUPA) HSPA+ are improvements upon UMTS. In other words, every HSPA device is a UMTS device.

Perfect, thanks so much!Also, according to other websites it has UTMS 1700/2100 or HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 or Network (3G) HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 so basically it will work for sure right?
Sorry for repeatedly asking the same thing, I just want to be sure. One more yes, and I'm going to change the order from 3 year term to unlocked

How many different ways do we have to say this? It has quadband GSM and pentaband 3G, if you put in a North American SIM in the phone, it will work.
So I'm looking at GSM arena, and it says 4G Network LTE 700 (region specific) - I've googled everywhere and I can't find a list of the different versions/regions/varieties of nexus phones that are coming out. Am I just a bad googler? Or is there really no details out there showing which phone(s) sold in which countries have what bands in them?
bump. anyone's google searching better than mine is?

as far as i've seen there is only one GSM variation released so far and its an unlocked "european version". i have it and it works pretty well on tmobile.
Taking from Expansys a big retailer for this device currently shows:
HSPA+ 21Mbps/HSUPA 5.76Mbps 850/900/1900/1700/2100 / Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz / (Band frequency, HSPA availability, and data speed are operator dependent)
http://www.expansys-usa.com/google-nexus-prime-android-smartphone-unlocked-16gb-224148/
The Newegg listing for this device shows:
GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz
UMTS 850 / 900 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 MHz
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875176322
Hope that helps! Definitely a great device!
OK. Was wondering if any of the variants had both GSM and some flavor of LTE in it. Thanks for the input.

No. Not yet. Or maybe never. There are several versions of nexus but as of now only two known variations concerning radio.

Did a quick search couldn't find what i was after... My question is will the T989 from T mobile (unlocked) work with Australian networks? Reason for my asking is we only have the sgs2 19100 with a 1.2ghz dual core whilst u guys have a 1.5ghz dual core.. im sure the 19100 can be o/c to 1.5ghz but it would be nice to have a sgs2 that not many people have here
Cheers.
no reason it not working there.
T989 is built for universal.

Thank you kind sir
The T989 can use the following Frequencies:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 1700 / 2100
And taking a look at the wikipedia page on Carrier Frequencies:
Telstra 850/2100 - 2/3G
3 2100 - 3G
Optus 900/2100 2/3G
Vodafone 850/900/2100 2/3G
So it should* work fine, providing it is unlocked.
I just received my galaxy note ii today but it seems that it is not connecting to T-Mobile 3G network.
Does the Note II work on 3G networks in the US?

No =(

You need AWS bands of 1700 / 2100 which it lacks.

Just AT&T.
Verizon uses CDMA for it's 2G and 3G Networks. The Note 2 won't work on Verizon PERIOD.

i just went to AT&T and asked regarding this, they said if it is prepaid it might be 50% working and 50% not working, but if it is postpaid it will work. I want prepaid plan.
Is that true?

Hi everyone
Today i just picked up an Unlocked HTC One M8 verizon branded
I took the phone to my carrier AT&T picked up a nano card, left AT&T and installed
I was able to receive calls and text and also call out and text
My internet is not working no 4G LTE. I went back to to AT&T and they told me it will not work with AT&T
When i swapped phones, data plan checked out ok. They installed the right one from my previous phone. AT&T shows up on the phone as the provider
Is there something i am missing that ATT would not tell me about getting internet? Is there a tutorial someone can link me to?
Thanks

APN settings would need to be changed. If I were you I'd just look into getting s-off and flashing a custom rom
Verizon's phones use CDMA, and have different radios than AT&T, which uses GSM phones. While both have LTE support, unfortunately the supported bands don't perfectly overlap:
Verizon / CDMA
LTE 750 / 1700 / 1800 / 2600
WCDMA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100

That AT&T rep wasn't kidding. While the phone may work in a limited manner in some areas, it doesn't fully support AT&T's network.

Unfortunately, the short answer is yes. The slightly longer answer is that it will "sorta work", as long as you are in an area whose towers your phone will work with. I'd sell it and get the GSM version if you are sticking with AT&T.
The phone should work on 3G (WCDMA) as AT&T uses 850 and 1900 MHz bands, which according to the above listed band specs, is supported by the Verizon variant. You will need to manually enter the proper APN info.
Whether LTE will work is questionable. AT&T uses 1700 Blocks A, B, C, D, E; and additionally 1900 (Bands 2, 4, and 17). Verizon uses 1700 Blocks C and F (bands 4 and 13). And its not clear to me what Blocks on 1700 are supported by the Verizon variant. As mentioned above, it might work in certain AT&T regions, but not in others. But again, you will need the proper APN regardless.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks
Lesson learned: You need to do the proper research before buying a phone from any source other than your carrier in order to guarantee proper band compatibility.
