Touch Pro 2 CDMA > GSM Capabilities

Silly question probably, but I'm thinking of switching to Sprint Touch Pro 2. Let's say I was able to unlock it so I could use any SIM card. Since it supports GSM 850/1900 and WCDMA 2100 is there any reason it would not work on the T-Mobile network in the US? This is really just for curiosity sake, but it would be a nice feature.

However, you won't be able to have 3G speeds with Tmo, if you care about data that much.

Yeah, only EDGE data if you use a CDMA TP2 on TMO.

If you just need it for checking mail and stuff like that, it will do you fine. YouTube will suffer on EDGE though.

No 1700 Band support for GSM = no Tmobile 3g

What about AT&T?

I was under the impression T-Mobile used WCDMA 2100... I thought AT&T used 1700

coolgui , t-mobile is 1700

okay... I was googling it and found things that indicated tmobile might use both 1700 and 2100 in different areas... but it seems AT&T uses 1900, so if any of that is right then you *may* be able to use t-mobile 3G in some areas, but that's not really good enough. Probably not a deal breaker for me, but it's good to know most overseas countries use 2100. I sure wish everyone could agree on a smaller set of frequencies. This phone supports the most I have ever seen yet it still doesn't get them all.

what exactly is the elite team method? I keep hearing about it but have no idea where or how to do this.
