Re: TP2: Verizon vs Sprint vs Tmobile vs AT&T

Also I'd like to know any important "gotchas" for each version. So could someone give me a quickie run down on the important differences between these TP2 versions? generally, but also here are some specific questions:

- I gather that both CDMA versions are locked for each carrier's GSM int'l roaming SIM, but that at least the Verizon TP2 can be fairly easily unlocked. I *definitely* want to use this TP2 with both Tmo and with random int'l SIMs. Can the Sprint version also be unlocked as easily?

- The Tmo and AT&T versions support different 3G bands. Remind me how this might affect usage int'lly... I think there is little chance that I will want to use the TP2 on AT&T, but I definitely want Tmo and, say Europe and Japan. I don't think I care about Tmo's 1700Mhz 3G band.

- Any other major diffs? JVM support (does Verizon's come with a JVM? I presume it is easy to add)? TV Out? (do all have it?)

thanks...
The AT&T and Tmo version can't be used on page plus because its CDMA..the CDMA versions are probably better being Sprint and Verizon.

As for unlocked..I think sprint is unlocked already and Verizon actually needs unlocking but this is minor.

Internationally the CDMA versions will work flawlessly. And you can make the CDMA versions SIM unlocked in the USA for a small price.

As for JVM you mean Java Virtual Machine? you can just download JavaFX or Esmeratic Jbed

TV out you have but need a wire for it
