I know a lot of you out there are in the same boat as me. Stuck with a carrier that is suddenly receiving only the lower spec'd wave 2 models (T-Mobile). I thought I heard somewhere of a quad band Titan and Focus S that is compatible on T-Mobile and AT&T's bands..
I've been searching for any leads to the Titan or Focus S that is compatible for 3G on T-Mobile's network bands.
Has anyone heard of such a version yet and can confirm?
The Titan is quad band so it will work on tmobile. The question is does it operate on Tmobile's 3g bands? And for that I don't think so. But could be wrong.
There's enough in hear to give you the answer I would imagine. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=693167 Fifth and seventh post down
First off I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum, MODs please move if it is.
Ok so I haven't seen that many reviews on the Rogers version of Samsung galaxy S2 LTE (not the HD from korea). Right now I debating between which one I should pick up. I had a Samsung S1 (i9000m from Bell) and I've always loved it. I love modding phones (ie custom ROM and other stuff). I plan on doing on these as well. The pros for S2 LTE is that: it is LTE compatible, 8mp back 2mp front camera, slight better processor (though I doubt there will be a big difference in performance).
Wheres the Nexus pros is that it is HD and has ICS, slightly better battery life, and of course being nexus, first in line for updates. The screen is also slightly bigger. It just sucks that the LTE from rogers isn't HD like the korean counterpart.
I do live in a LTE enabled zone so I will be able to utilize it (6GB data plan). Any thought on what phone is better? I've went in and tested both out and I honestly can't decide. I love the screen on the nexus but also the camera + LTE on the S2 balances out.

Personally I'd go with the Nexus because the processor is almost up to par with the Exynos in the GSII vs the GSII LTE has a Qualcomm Snapdragon, which for day to day tasks is good, but GPU performance is nowhere near the Mali 400 in the Exynos.
AT&T has the Galaxy S II Skyrocket HD which is pretty much the Korean GSII with a 4-button layout. It sounds exactly like what you're looking for.
Had the at&t galaxy s2 lte and took it back. Qualcomm snapdragon sucks compared to the omap in fhe nexus, but had to use it for lte.
Nexus is so much more fluid day to day i would not look twice at the lte unless you really need limited lte .
Sounds like nexus is still the top. I might just pick it up. Idk something about the shape of the phone just doesn't catch me. Btw is the nexus 4G capable? While looking through the specs, it said its 3G or maybe that website is wrong?

It supports 4G on both GSM & LTE variants of the phone.

It is an HSPA+ device. Which is the faster 3G on AT&T (like "4G"). It is not LTE on AT&T.

Ehhh. It supports HSPA+ on the GSM version. and it supports LTE on the CDMA version.

In USA, AT&T and T-Mobile markets HSPA+ as 4G.
LTE is marketed as 4G.
Therefore, the GSM & LTE both supports 4G.
I don't believe it supports Tmo's 42mbps network, however. Or does it?

Yes very true, but considering OP is comparing to a 4G LTE device on AT&T, it is a good idea to make the distinction that the Galaxy Nexus is HSPA+ and the Skyrocket (SGSII LTE) is an LTE phone.

It is only 21mbps. Anything over 14.4mbps T-Mobile calls 4G, however.
T-Mobile only has a couple 42mbps phones I think. The SGSII and the HTC Amaze 4G are the only 2 that come to mind.
Who came up with the rumor that ATT's phone does not support 42Mb band?
According to phonearena it does,
http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-GALAXY-Note-II-AT-T_id7500
and Wikipedia also states the same bands for both, if not ATT's version looks better because of the LTE duo-band support
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Note_II
Am I reading this wrong?
is there any hardware difference at all? like if you unlock it, are they fully usable?
I think while at hardware level there maybe the same for both phones there are other things that potentially will lock it from using on different network even if it's unlocked. like ril and baseband. I am not a coder or engineer so I don't know all of the detail.
Thanks for the insight...
