HTC Touch Diamond 2

How hard would it be to load T-Mobile SIM for Touch Diamond 2 and would it work currently in US. Is there another carrier that would be easier and better to load SIM and use? Thanks, Pete Do you find this valuable?

The unlocked GSM model will be compatible with T-mobile edge bands, but will not work on 3G bands. European 3G bands are different than US 3G bands.

Thanks much. Is intent for US TD-2 to remain on edge only or will it migrate to US 3G? Any issues with it working on US T-mobile WiFi networks? Do you find this valuable?

The TD II will eventually makes it's way to the U S market, but it is unclear in what form. The CDMA version ( Sprint, Verizon ) or the GSM version ( AT$T , T-Mobile ),

If I was to guess, since the Diamond is on Sprint/Verizon, it makes sense that the Diamond II will also be. The U S models will work on the EVDO (3G) network.

The European models will work with wifi, but why short change yourself over a couple of months waiting.

Thanks much very helpful. Is it possible to get a TD II right now, or first of April that can run on Sprint/Verizon phone, and EVDO 3G NOW, plus have full US WiFi capability in Hot Spots? Do you find this valuable?

Didnt read last line of your last post. It makes sense to wait but I've been waiting A REALLY LONG TIME already. TD II, in my laymen's oppinion, is first REAL ROBUST, alterntative to i-phone (many probably disagree). I don't want to wait much longer...I already have sacrificed stuff and I dont want an I-phone. If I have to wait a whole lot more, I'll probably just go with anything. Appreciate the info and last question still holds. Do you find this valuable?

What I want to know is wtf they didn't include US 3G support in the first release. Just going to cost them sales. Putting their own profits after those of the US carriers is foolish. Do you find this valuable?
