I am not sure this is even possible.
Is the chip supporting 850?

Yes, the chip is quadband (same chip set as TyTN II).

It's too bad, but the HTC TOUCH DUAL does not support 850mhz :-( My home network is 850 only and the HTC is useless in it!

Yes, it doesn't support 850 now, but the big question is it possible to support it with a different ROM. Probably a big project to lift the code from another HTC product that uses the same chip.

tom_condon is working on a new ROM for the touch dual now. maybe you could ask him?

It can very likely be done by enabling a bit in the NV RF Config item.
I am working on that, see here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361923).

That would be awesome. For me, 850 Mhz and GPS are the two things keeping the Dual from being the ultimate phone to date.

Thanks,

Telstra is selling a 850 MHz Touch Dual on their NextG Network, but it is not the same as the reglar Tri-Band device. Seems HTC is actually selling multiple versions iof the device to suit different carriers.

a radio update or something can help? that would be ideal since i am in the same situation 3g is on a different mhz but phone is at 2100 for 3g

[erandhawa]

Just found out the phone will be release in the us sometime in Q2 they say it will be compatible with AT&T 3g hopefully the rom from this new phone can help us that have already bought it.

There is a Touch Dual that supports 850MHZ codename "NEON" and not "NIKI"

There is a complete other Tranceiver chip inside.
NIKI is no Quadband Device!

[erandhawa]

So do you recommend selling my Niki and getting a Neon then to stay compatible with US networks? I know netrunner was saying there is a possibility the NV items can be changed to take out the 2100 and put in the 850

[Valvarin]

yes u can change the NV-Items but the Chip dosn't support 850MHZ.

OR... we don't know enought about the RFR6300 Chip.
We need internal shots or a list of Chips from a NEON.
