Who has it working? I put my SIM in from my Tilt and I get a SIM not found. I put in my T-Mobile SIM and I get a SIM not found. I hear of people using these in the states. Help a brother out and tell me what you had to do to get it going.
Thanks in advance

I have an ATT sim card and took it out of my Tilt to my Orbit 2 and into my TD. It automatically set it up. I had to do nothing to it. Worked out of the box. I dont know what you have to do. It should set up and start working. Did you get the option to set up for ATT????? I guess it has to read the SIM card to be able to do that...Check again the orientation of the Sim... I put mine in backward first time.

My sim worked right away, not sure why it does not recognize yours.
T-Mobile Data: $20.00 plan: Does not pick up 3G just Edge; however browsing is pretty quick for Edge connection.
T-Zones: worked just as fast as the Data plan, however it would not Update weather nor download emails.
Voice Calls: Great reception.
Phone works at decent speed overall with the tweaks posted here in the forums, cant wait for custom roms...

I picked mine up in Chicago today from www.welectronics.com. Make sure you call first to have it in stock. Mine works with both ATT and T-Mobile on Edge. I have not played with setting but on the phone settings, you can select 1700 as one of the options. Perhaps it might work for T-Mo 3G? I am in Chicago so I can't test that.

This sucks. I think there is a problem with my unit. I have tried 6 SIMs and it doesn't see any of them. I tried new ones from AT&T and T-Mobile and still no joy.
I kinda regret trying to get the best mobile available early. I should have waited.

Sounds like a hardware fault :(
