3G Diamond for sale (Canada/US)

[RayB]

Hi guys,

Well, the shop that originally sold me the GSM Diamond has exchanged it to the proper 3G unlocked version.

Do not want to go through the bother with shipping back to Japan and dealing with customs. Besides I pre-ordered my Touch Pro with expansys :)

Thus, I have a new 3G model up for grabs. I paid 750 Canadian for it. Will let it go for 650 CDN.

Thanks.

This would be 3G on Rogers Network? Are you sure of this?

Has it been opened our used yet?

[RayB]

There is no network associated with this. It should be an HTC Retail version that is 3G capable hardware wise. Weather you choose to use it in a 3G network area is up to yourself.

It would be unopened but to be honest I have asked my friend to open it and make sure that it is the correct model that the shop is exchanging for me. So, in actuality it will be opened but unused. He is just going to make sure it is indeed unlocked and 3G.

The reason for this is when I orginally bought the diamond from this shop before returning to Japan they gave me the Indian GSM model, which they are not exchanging as mentioned.

I guess if it is a huge issue to anyone I can ask him not to open it and go by the specs on the box. Buyers choice. But, I need to know as the new one should be in by Thursday.

thx

Careful potential buyers, there is no Diamond, with any ROM, that currently supports North American 3G bands... Only 900/2100mhz. Does not have the hardware necessary to do so.

Thanks for that. Perhaps the best thing is for me to ship it back to Japan and sell here. Not sure if this can be included in any future radio/rom update/upgrade at this point.

But it is the 3G version but as mentioned about supports 1900/2100 frequencies.

Currently:

HSDPA/WCDMA:

*
Europe/Asia: 900/2100 MHz
*
Up to 384 kbps up-link and 7.2 Mbps down-link speeds

Yeah, didn't wanna be a jerk and get you out of a sale, but people should know what they're buying. I'd ship it back to Japan if I were you, that's probably your best bet (unless someone would rather have EDGE on their Diamond now than 3G on it in a few months).

np,

I would just recommend that anyone thinking about it read the specs on the HTC site for the current model.

thx
