ok...mmm... the things is that I was thinking about buying an HTC Touch Pro (unbranded)... Im in the US and Im using t-mobile... i have a very bad reception... my question is... if i buy the phone... it will use t-mobile's signal or it will get better signal....???

it will be t-mobiles signal if your using a t-mobile simcard, but the G signal is shared between tmob and att I believe (just not data)

you might want to just look into early terming and switching carriers if your signal is just that bad.

+1 some areas are just better with Signal than others, where im at i almost always have full bars with sprint but if i didnt ide look into who gets the best reception in your area. just have to google what Cell towers are in your area or just ask your friends which carriers they use and how there signal is. IMHO
Goodluck

yea... im gonna use the t-mobile simcard... but i thought that for being a phone with no brand... it would have better signal...

well there is the part were different phones are better than getting signals than others but thats not really carrier specific. the sim card basically says your a t-mobile customer and to use their towers.

Who knows, it could be better, could be worse, could be exactly the same.

For example, I have a Touch Pro, I'm with Sprint, I'm using a Telus radio and I get slightly better reception than with the stock Sprint radio.

But honestly, if I were in your position, I'd just switch carriers.

yea, tmobile and sprint are the cheaper carriers so I can understand your wanting to stick with tmob. if they would just use the same band as europ 3g id be all over tmobile. but sprints the best data centric choice out there currently. att and vzw are good, but a ton more expensive.
