HTC HD2 on Sprint network??
 

I have access to an HD2 and wanted to know if its possible to get it working on Sprint..

Anyone know if thats possible?

Thanks.

Re: HTC HD2 on Sprint network??
 

Nope, not possible. Sprint uses CDMA technology whereas the HD2 uses GSM, they are not compatible with each other.

Re: HTC HD2 on Sprint network??
 

Well, thank you kind sir for ruining my morning :) Guess i will just have to walk around with it and make believe Im talking to people on it.. LOL

Re: HTC HD2 on Sprint network??
 

t-mobile or att

Re: HTC HD2 on Sprint network??
 

I would try another provider but Im not willing to pay $80+ a month for mobile service when Im still on the SERO plan for $30 a month :)

I might have to cave in eventually since im not to impressed with the sprint phones.

Re: HTC HD2 on Sprint network??
 

Wasn't trying to ruin your morning, but you're welcome anyway :p

Re: HTC HD2 on Sprint network??
 

I'm on the grandfather SERO plan as well, but the $50/month one. I think I'm going to switch to tmobile or at&t after my contract ends later this year. I've been disappointed with Sprint's line up of phones and my touch pro pisses me off half the time.

Re: HTC HD2 on Sprint network??
 

The problem with that is that AT&T service is just plain terrible. I have an ATT phone from work and is sucks. Im always droppin calls and I live in NYC. Thats the one thing I can say about Sprint is their service is actually really good. But the phones are just not as fun as the other providers.

Its gonna be a tough call.

Re: HTC HD2 on Sprint network??
 

I'm really liking the TP2 so far with my sero plan. I'm not sure if you have given that a look.

Re: HTC HD2 on Sprint network??
 

Thats what i have right now. The TP2 with mightyrom on sprint. I love it. But I love the speed and bigass screen you get with the HD2.

Either way Im doin fine ;)

Re: HTC HD2 on Sprint network??
 

I'm in the middle of my contract with Sprint, but I will jump to T-Mo the very next second after they're releasing the HD2. I have resisted the temptation to go to Verizon for Imagio, just because of this upcoming magnificent phone.

Sprint deserves to die right now, they're just a greedy corporate network that doesn't care about their users demands for new phones. I don't care about their stupid SERO and cheap plans and alleged speed, I live in the big city so whichever carrier works for me.

They're still selling obsolete "smartphones" at ridiculous prices and spend millions on obnoxious web advertising, die mother****ers! I really hope this network will go bankrupt and disappear forever with their stupid Wimax thing they're boasting and testing for years but never released.

March 24 :)

Re: HTC HD2 on Sprint network??
 

wrong on so many accounts.
1st off obsolete smartphones?
the htc hero, palm pre, and tp2 have been in high demand since release. calling them obsolete is downgrading your tenure as a "geek".
2nd off WiMAX/4G has been released and is in full effect in over 10 MAJOR States. Montana is not a MAJOR state. Austin, Dallas, Baltimore, Seattle, are MAJOR contenders.
Get off your high horse and read before making accusations which are all false.
you will never get a high reputation without reading first.

Re: HTC HD2 on Sprint network??
 

Dude, I've seen them all - those phones.

Palm is a dead brand/OS already, Hero looks cheap and like all Android phones they're for beta-testers - I would carry one of those only if they pay me. Maybe in two years from now. As for TP2 - slide-out qwerty keyboards are for teenagers and for retards like you. Get out of your hole and watch the trends: big-screen rules! Ipad-esque.

A powerful WM phone 6.xx it's all that I need, and I can do everything with it with the current existing apps.

As for WIMAX:
1)there are no Wimax phones yet, since we're talking about phones here, right?
2) moving to performance per se, Sprint boast it's just bullshit. Upgrade is long overdue and way overrated. Real tests indicate that HSPA+ beat the shit out of Wimax, where available.

1Gb processor on t-mo's 3G HSPA will also likely compensate and add to speed.

So don't rush into an argument before double-checking the facts, and I'm not looking for your appreciation or any reputation, I was just speaking my mind out.

Re: HTC HD2 on Sprint network??
 

The HD2 specs list WCDMA 900/2100 as part of it's Network Bands. Wouldn't that be compatible with Sprint?

Re: HTC HD2 on Sprint network??
 

Unfortunately no.

Re: HTC HD2 on Sprint network??
 

Sprint will not allow any phone on their network that isn't a Sprint branded phone. Countless people tried it when I worked there and no one was successful. It isnt as simple as unlocking the phone then changing the sim card. All Sprint provisioning settings have to be loaded then you have to have the ESN added to the Sprint database which is something that they refuse to do.

Re: HTC HD2 on Sprint network??
 

wow i didnt know that.. i moved a sprint phone to Verizon.. no prob..

Re: HTC HD2 on Sprint network??
 

Verizion is not as restrictive when it comes to adding phones to the network. I tried having 2 added into the database of sprint while working for the company and got nowhere.

Re: HTC HD2 on Sprint network??
 

Sprint is getting the HTC Supersonic. Basically an Android version of the HD2.

Re: HTC HD2 on Sprint network??
 

I don't want an Android version of the HD2... I want windows!!!!

Dam-it!!!!!

:cry:

Re: HTC HD2 on Sprint network??
 

Im with you on that...

Re: HTC HD2 on Sprint network??
 

They make one of those, it's called an HD2 :mrgreen:
Come to T-Mobile!

Re: HTC HD2 on Sprint network??
 

LOL


That is low Dude!!! I'll move to Tmobile when they get "Any mobile - any time" like Sprint..

Have a good day ..SIR!!!!


JP
:thumbright:

Re: HTC HD2 on Sprint network??
 

Any mobile any time ? Obviously not the HD2 or any GSM phones! LMAO

They should change that to "any of OUR mobiles.. any time..." lol

Re: HTC HD2 on Sprint network??
 

Well it has to be the plan or the phones!!!! I love my TP2...but i miss the Flashlight...and memory wise...it sucks!!!!!

JP

Re: HTC HD2 on Sprint network??
 

Heh I was just teasing of course :)

But yes I hear you - any mobile anytime would be nice on T-Mobile. Since I got that plan on Sprint, it feels like I use almost no actual regular minutes. So the plan will cost a little more on T-mo, but it's worth it to have the HD2 and faster downloads imo.

Re: HTC HD2 on Sprint network??
 

I have play with the HD2. It is a nice phone with big screen. I just wish the graphic resolution is higher.

Re: HTC HD2 on Sprint network??
 

Iono if anyone has said this but are u SURE that u cannot unlock this to Sprint? I had the Touch Pro 2 bought @ sprint and it was unlocked for tmobile as well.. These phones use SIM cards even though they are on sprint... So i think u should check into that!!!

Re: HTC HD2 on Sprint network??
 

The HD2 cannot be used on SPRINT! It has been said but, the reason you could use your TP2 from sprint on T-mo is because it is sim unlocked and you put a tmo sim in it. Sprint does not use sim cards, it is a cdma carrier. The phone does not have the chipset to support the network nor does sprint allow phones to be added to their network.

Re: HTC HD2 on Sprint network??
 

Guess what. This is a moot point now that Sprint got their heads out of their asses and are going to release the EVO. A much better version of the HD2.

Thread closed.. lol

Re: HTC HD2 on Sprint network??
 

1. Thread was actually closed early on when we answered your question unequivocally and said Sprint CANNOT run the HD2.

2. How do you figure that the Evo is a "much better version of the HD2"? They run different operating systems. The ignorance in this thread is epic :)

Re: HTC HD2 on Sprint network??
 

Well thank you so much for pointing that out. ill sleep better knowing that...

Re: HTC HD2 on Sprint network??
 

we will definitely be seeing an HD2 on sprint (although most likely renamed to something else) but expect the phone to have better specs than the GSM version.. my guess is at the end of this year we'll see it.. you can count sprint is going to get a super high end phone with its 4G wimax on it.. can't wait!

Re: HTC HD2 on Sprint network??
 

That phone is the Evo which will run android. The next series of winmo phones will be windows 7 so everyone will have phones with better specs in the end.

Re: HTC HD2 on Sprint network??
 

This device is a GSM device. No matter what you do, THIS WILL NOT WORK ON the SPRINT NETWORK. Which is CDMA btw...

This ain't gonna happen!

And thread closed.
