rogers runs on 850MHZ HSPA for 3g, notice we can only catch rogers edge network. I have a rogers sim in mine no 3g.

you guys are confusing HSPA bands with GSM bands. Our device Supports quad band GSM and 2100 HSPA only.

Hey Jug, was wondering what you think would happen if we flashed a tilt 2 radio onto the phone?

The specs have only UMTS 2100 listed, however couldn't that be because they locked the other bands? By unlocking we would have access to all the bands, and then we just need to flash a tilt 2 radio?

Ofc then the GSM radio on a CDMA device thing comes up.

What if we dont use the CDMA bands at all and just use it on Rogers? Would the tilt 2 radio solve our problems?

I was excited about the TP2 and HSPA. Asked L&R about it in early September, "oh yeah, it'll work". When I picked it up at the Telus store a week later "Oh yeah, it'll work" I was one of the believers that it had the 1900 band HSPA locked away in there somewhere and thought it would be foolish for Telus to launch a new Smartphone that worked on other HSPA networks but not theirs. However, I've been forced to ask two questions.

Why would they lock it and keep us all in the dark ("HaHa, it had it all along, We made a funny!")? And....
If it already works on their CDMA network, which covers just as much ground, if not more then the HSPA network, what is their incentive for them to allow it to connect to their HSPA?

So I'm starting to feel more and more like it's probably not going to work. Initially, I was kind of upset about it. Now that HSPA is here though, I'm ok with it for the following reasons.

I continually travel to Saskatoon, Regina, Yellowknife, and Whitehorse, locals that won't be online till Spring 2010 at the earliest.

I have a pretty sweet plan from L&R, still doing the $15 unlimited data, and I don't think you can swap that stuff over to the new HSPA network. Maybe that would be their incentive to get me swap over?

I'm still with you. I hope I have the option to swap to HSPA with my TP2 in the future, but I still have a cool new phone and CDMA is working out ok for now.

According to Olipro, in an interview, he stated that regardless of what bands you get to work on the TP2 it won't work because the antenna is wrong.
