Don't really car if it comes to bell or not. I'm with Rogers and I just signed on for another 3 years, so I won't be switching anytime soon. Bell version will probably just be the same as the T-mobile G2 version (same bands). Which also lacks the 850 3G band up here. I r sad now. Have HTC ever rereleased a phone with the NA 3G band after the initial release of a product?

TOS'd the bell desire z is more than likely to be NAM, T-mobile bands and bell bands are not even the same if I remember them correctly. An example would be the HTC Desire. They released a euroasian version with 2100mhz and then Telus released their 850/1900mhz nam 3g version about two months ago. If you need proof I can see if I can take a picture of my unlocked desire from telus.

T-mobile 1700, which Wind uses in Canada.
Bell / Telus uses the same band was Rogers/Fido

desire Z sucks though. shitty processor.

damn it. i am so confused now. is there somewhere that clearly states the bands these companies use? ive been reading bell =/= rogers. or rogers also uses 1900 (and 850) and bell uses 1900 so they are the same. or 1900 is only in certain locations.

this post might clear it up a bit?

^ ah so it looks like i can get this phone after all, just have to wait for the bell version.

my battery life seems to be alright agian after the whole looping/reset fiasco. What radio are you guys using? I never changed it from whatever it came with.

Also does anyone know a rom or a way to change the icons on top to the ones on the nexus one?

This is the best for me so far: 32.46.00.32U_5.10.05.17_2

Here is the whole list of 3G and GSM networks in Canada and which band they are.

is it still possible to get this without a contract? the website only has contract pricing

Thanks, now i just have to wait till like late november before i can get a new phone..please dont die on me now iPhone 3G..

YMMV. The Telus website is no longer selling this phone to users without a contract. I was lucky and was able to buy mine directly through their website before they changed this. You might be lucky at the Metro Futureshop as that's where a few ppl got theirs from.

Well even if it comes out late Nov. you still have to see how lucky you are in being able to buy it off contract.

True, do i have to be using Bell if I want to get a job at a retail store? LOLL job hunting timee

damn...and i was thinking of getting the desire from HK :(
guess i'll have to rethink this

Nope :)

The black Legend is pure sex

Wow they both look pretty damn good.

G2 already on the market. http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/mob/1988277360.html

too bad it won't work up here on rogers or i'd pick one up asap.

Shit that white desire looks really nice. But if its made out of the same stuff as the other one, it will probably look like shit pretty quickly.

not true, there is a way around that...
1> select the desire phone
2> choose the rate plan (don't worry it is just temp input)
3> add to cart and go check out
4> under device will say HTC Desire and remove the rate plan

voila, the new price for the phone is $449...$503 taxes incl

$503.99 =D. I saw the white desire a few weeks back, hoping some store such as cnn or jpcellular will stock the white casing soon.

Doesn't work. Ppl on rfd have already tried it. TELUS will cancel your order aavd refund your money.

Don't bother unless you're really adventurous. It's a lot of work to take it apart. Especially the lcd/digitizer part.
