that seems like a waste to me since t-mobile has no HSDPA. might as well have got the wing

The phone was a present.....
I actually now have another problem..i dont know if i hould post it separatly somewhere...
I tried to change setting so MMS would work and i used the cab file i found on wiki link...I am just not sure if i am donig everything i need to do to make it work. I just trasfered that cab file to my phone and installed it...took approximatly couple seconds and my MMS still not working......

I would be very greatfull for any help....

Thank you

T-mobile offers HSDPA here and is starting to offer HSDPA in the UK soon

I had the same problem with the 8525 using the stock ATT ROM and MMS. The only way i could make it work was to use a cooked rom(which you will like better anyways IMO). Make sure if you flash ur phone to use HardSPL to keep from bricking ur phone.

Here is a link to a good howto for flashing: http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/

Also if your going to flash it then you will need the keyboard layout fix here (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Problems)

We've already got HSDPA, thankyouverymuch ;-)

What ROM are you running on the 8525? Have you upgraded it to WM6 or is still running the pre-installed cingular WM5 one?

Smiffy.

umm and just forget the fact that it has 200mhz...vs. a 8525 a 400mhz...not the smartest comment lol

I have no idea. I am still trying to learn how to access all the features.
I had Nokia 9500 before that and this phone is slightly different.
WM and ROM info should appear when i am restarting the device?
I am pretty sure i had WM5,but i am not sure....

[Lordsmiff]

Just go into Start --> Settings --> System --> About and that will tell you what OS it is running :)

Oh..Thank you:)
