Im just curious as to why the Sprint TP2 cannot support 3G on a GSM network but the Verizon TP2 can .

Verizon Touch Pro2 XV6875 (HTC Rhodium 500) Specs | Technical Specifications | PDAdb.net - Smartphone, Tablet, Netbook, PDA, PNA & Mobile Device Specifications Database
Sprint Touch Pro2 T7380 (HTC Rhodium W) Specs | Technical Specifications | PDAdb.net - Smartphone, Tablet, Netbook, PDA, PNA & Mobile Device Specifications Database

They have the same specs, are you getting 3G in the states? Both will get 3G IF they are on a network that uses those frequencies.

specs dont mean much... sprint tp2 doesn't have the hardware for it i think... same as why gsm tp2 have fm radio but cdma lack that piece of hardware

Re: Explanation request
 

I edited it, but the network has to support it...it has 850, which is what AT&T uses, but not 1700, which T-Mo uses...

Re: Explanation request
 

so my phone won't get 3g for t mobile but it will for at and t because the sprint touch pro 2 doesn't support the 1700 mhz frequency ? any way to get that ? I might unlock to t mobile pre pay plan .

EDIT: it looks like it supports 1800 but not 1700 ? very strange

Also keep in mind a large portion of T-Mobile's 3G network is actually AWS.

The AWS band is the reason why T-Mobile is the only one left without an iphone lol
