I'm using the HD on AT&T and it works great! Also running Dutty's 3.7XT ROM. My TouchPro/Fuze is back in the box it came in. The HD is awesome and very fast plus a Huge screen!...makes the Fuze seem so small now

I dont think the HD is U.S. 3g capable. Someone correct me if i'm wrong...

Telstra Touch HD (T8285 not the T8282) uses the 850 3G band and is compatible with at&t's 3G network. only downside is that you have to be in an area where at&t uses the 850 band to deliver 3G speeds.

its pretty expensive though. i'd hold off and get a TouchPro2

I definitely would not since the TP2 is around the corner. And especially since these devices use so much data, I wouldnt dare use AT&T or T-Mobile since they have the WORST data speeds in all creation lol. Even the Iphone fanboys hate the horrible signal strength and turtle snow internet. And thats even in a so called good coverage area.

using MediaNet ($15.00/mthly) and i'm able to get very good speeds. of course with at&t (and sprint) location and coverage will impact speeds. but i have no complaints with at&t's service when using my Telstra HD.

I also agree that AT&T speeds really aren't bad at all, definitely faster than Sprint in certain areas, though you can't hold a HSPA connection quite as well as EVDO.
