Also working fine on T-Mobile US prepaid
Very nice phone for the price! I missed my old HTC Wizard and I'm very glad to have a great smartphone again. Goodbye toy Nokia 5230!
If you're not using it with a CDMA carrier, turn off CDMA mode. Better battery and no weird error popups about dialing errors or registering the phone on Verizon network.
3G GSM will not work in USA/Canada, wrong band.
T-Mobile prepaid locks down Web 2 Go access on smartphones. This phone seems to confuse their gateway though, and will allow you to purchase (but not actually use) a $1.49 day pass.
Wifi works great. I have a T-Mobile Rocket USB stick with a cradlepoint 'pocket' router. Perfect solution to the lack of data access on T-Mo prepaid, and I can share via wifi with up to 16 devices.
EnergyRom is a very nice upgrade. I'm glad I did this.
I wish there was an Android port for this phone, but I understand there won't be because of obscurity.
Working with iOS devices at my job makes me glad not to be an Apple fanboy. There is no comparison when it comes to freedom to mod, update, find apps, use my phone the way I WANT.
