Re: HTC Pro 2 vs. Telus HSPA

Assuming a "replacement" ROM, is that software support enough to allow the device to be used on the Telus or AT&T HSPA networks? Or is additional hardware (radios, antennas, etc) needed that is not part of what Telus (and presumably Sprint and Verizon) purchase from HTC?

If a hacked ROM is enough, then the CDMA flavor of the TP2 is in some ways better than the version that AT&T will sell because it can do both EV-DO Rev A and HSDPA here in the States, do HSDPA overseas (which AT&T's version can't because it claims to be 850+1900 without 2100), and it has the standard 3.5mm headphone jack.

Sprint is sending me an eval unit of their TP2 and I'm willing to sacrifice it in the name of science, but only if failure isn't already a foregone conclusion.
