HTC Hong Kong's website has the network listed, but if I search the device specs on google, few websites do not have the TD SCDMA network in the spec list.
Can anyone clarify that, please? Plan to buy one from Hong Kong.

Hi everyone,
I want Desire so badly
I asked the HTC if they are going to make one for north America
They said
"I certainly understand your interest in the newest in HTC's family of smart mobile devices. Regarding the Desire, all that has been announced at this point in time is that it will be broadly available to customers across major European and Asian markets in early Q2. The HTC Desire will be exclusively available in Australia through Telstra. Nothing has been stated yet about any possible release in North America (including Canada), although I do feel the need to point out that no announcement at this time certainly does not mean that it will never be available over here. For the latest news, keep an eye on htc.com and our Twitter account at twitter.com/htc. "
and then I went to Rogers and asked them this :
Hi, I was wondering if the HTC Desire will work with 3G bands frequency
of your network ? HTC Desire 3G bands frequencies are 900/2100 mhz
the answered me with
"The 3G frequency that we are using is 1900 and 2100. It is likely that
the phone you are inquiring about will work on our network on the 2100
3G frequency, however we cannot guarantee it because we can't guarantee
full service with phones that were not purchased from Rogers as they
were never tested on the Rogers network."
So what do you think , will it work
right now am
anyone can conform this .
Hey,
I know less than I'd like about networks and what bands work where and what you need to use a phone in Aus, so I'm hoping one of you gents could help me out?
I'm just wondering if I buy this:

If it will work with my Vodafone sim here in Australia?
Cheers guys.
That link is dead
Wow ok yeah. They must have run out, I guess?
Telstra - 850MHz and 2100MHz
All other carriers 900MHz and 2100Mhz.
Two model of desire:
1. A8181 - 900MHz and 2100Mhz
2. A8183 - 850MHz and 2100MHz
Currently if you buy a desire locally it will be (2) because of Telstras exclusive deal with HTC. You can use this on networks other than Telstra on their 2100MHz networks in major cities, but when this tries to fall back to their rural 900Mhz networks you wont get 3G.
If you get a Desire overseas it will be (1). It will safely work on all non-Telstra netorks. It will also have the advantage of not having Telstra branded firmware, which is cleaner and you will not have to wait for Telstra to release custom firmware.
You can get (1) through grey importers such as mobicity.com.au, but the warranty will be through them, not HTC.
Hope this clears things up for you.
Thanks for all that info, that's what I was after
The link is back up, the only thing that concerns me is the differnt 3G freq listed between the black and brown models. But the serial is A8181 so I'll trust that.
Now whether I trust the site is another thing. The only Black Desires were from Orange in the UK, and this is the ONLY place I've seen unlocked versions for sale online, I'm not sure if I'll actually be getting a black one. Their customer service is pretty shoddy, reviews are mixed and all the bad reviews play right into the issues I'm afraid of (misrepresenative stock, not being able to return/exchange)
Anyone had any experience with them?
I am planning on buying an M8 while I am on vacation in China. After checking though some online shops, I discovered that they sell M8t, M8w, M8sw and a M8st. What are the differences between these models and will they impact my expierience if I bring my phone back to Europe.

I am sure it will affect usability as China uses TD-SCDMA.
(TD-SCDMA is an air interface found in UMTS mobile telecommunications networks in China as an alternative to W-CDMA).
Which means chinese device will work only in China and/or in TD-SCDMA network.

I just bought the HTC One M8t today in China and i will be using it in Denmark when i get back home. I just looked at the antenna where it should work on the danish LTE 1800 and 2600. At least they assured me in the shop (Sunning).
@#1 - So i hope i will work, how sure are you that it wont work in Europe? Shouldnt it just be the LTE that is covered?

I don't think the shop was correct. The Chinese TD-SCDMA network uses 2,300–2,400 MHz, while the European W-CDMA countries using 2100 MHz...

if you read better on that site you could find this info : Mobile phone standard: Mobile 4G (TD-LTE)
that TD makes it China specific.
so if you need a "paperweight" or just media player get it...
I have an HTC one m8 developer edition unlocked, which I bought in USA. I'm planning to travel to India and they now have 4G LTE, but only on 2300mhz. As far as I know, this phone supports only 700/850/900/1800/2100/2600 mhz. I saw something on android central about how 4.4.3 update brings support for LTE in India. Is there anyway, I can use 4G LTE in India.
Here is the link to android central article.
http://m.androidcentral.com/htc-one-m8-android-443-update-hits-india-also-brings-4g-lte
No, as the hardware doesn't support it. Simple as that
Just as the title says.. is it possible? Will it work with the network carriers over here?
IDC about taxes and stuff I just want to know about compatibility with the network carriers.
Sorry for my English
where in Asia?
each carrier usually uses different frequencies as allowed by local laws.
in the spec page of the OnePlus3 you can see the frequencies supported by the US version.
if you specify where you are from we can help localize the carrier support for your region.
Helpful service
Google search willmyphonework
Edit: Since Im a new member I cannot post the direct link
I used this site to make sure my op3 was compatible with the carriers in my country. Just select your phone and model (I believe A3000 is the american model) and the country and it will give you a list of compatible carriers and the bands each carrier uses.
Mostly 4G won't work. Band 3 (1800MHz) is common in Asia. Try Aliexpress. They have A3000 model for the same price (Free shipping), which has Band 3 network. I'm in Sri Lanka. I was about to buy OP3 phone from USA but skipped it because I found out the network incompatibility.

I'm from Israel.
I just checked on willmyphonework and you guys were right, it's compatible only with 2G and 3G bands, and about 0% compatibility with 4G bands.
Ofc it's a deal breaker for me so I won't buy it in my trip to the US soon.
Do you know if maybe I can find the EU model for sale in the US?
If not, do you have any recommendations on where to buy it? Here in Israel it's about 1000 INS (about 250$) MORE than the US price...

I bought mine directly from the manufacturer. There was no option at the time to select the model but they seemed to select the model for me anyway based on the ship to address, so I got the European model. I would check the different models available on that site and find the one that works in Israel
Aliexpress is a good site. Just check seller's and shop's rating. There are plenty of OP3 for sale in Aliexpress for the original price. A3000 model would support your 4G connection. (Better check yourself )
