Re: Can someone with a Sprint TP2 do me a favor?

Uhm, could someone who wants to Answer the Question reply??

Someone with a Sprint Touch Pro 2, who can check "GSM only" mode?

If you want to know why I am bring a phone to Europe, look here: http://www.base.de/handys/handy_deta...23&tarifId=452

Yes, that's right, the SUBSIDIZED PHONE WITH PLAN starting >$500. Unsubsidized, at $750. Unfortunately, I am not rich enough to pay Google $570 or a German carrier the same for a Snapdragon phone, no matter how much I want one. This is why many people in Europe import US phones, even though they get there first.

I would really appreciate if future replies in this thread gave me less advice on how to spend money I don't have instead of ANSWERING THE QUESTION I ASKED. Besides, many German carriers knock 10Euro off your per-month bill if you bring your own phone. So let's see... phones cost $100-$200 more in Europe, and I can save $170 on my bill if I bring my own phone... what's a student to do?

And no, you will not "always" have problems. Guess what phone CMONEX (creator of HardSPL and the TP2 SIM unlocker) uses in Europe? A Sprint Touch Pro 2. Enough said.

PS. When I have been employed for a year and I have some money, I will happily spend it on a dual-core Tegra2 phone, which will blow the N1/HD2 out of the water. For now, buying a phone that allows me to continue to participate in the porting of Android to older HTCs, and to save $400 is actually more exciting. Plus, my Google friend may sell me his Nexus when he switches to Verizon in the fall. Now, could someone with a Sprint TP2 please tell me if you see UMTS 900 when you're in GSM-only mode??
