Droid 4 for Hong Konger?

---

Hi, I am currently using Milestone 2 (non-us Droid 2) and I have been using this phone for around a year and a half. I have rom the phone, overclocked it, themed it. I have juiced every drop of my phone out.
Now the "C" button on my keyboard is a bit messed up, i need press down hard so that the phone can sense me.
Now I am 50/50 about the Droid 4 ( Milestone 4), I am a huge MotoFan, and I am a keyboard fan, leaving me no choice but choosing the Dorid series. But the current Droid 4 is only 1.2 dual core, 1785 mah battery, and rubbish screen, worst of all, I am from Hong Kong, tho the Droid 4 is a world phone, I am not sure if the phone will work in Hong Kong, a GSM city.
So will the Droid 4 work in Hong Kong, and should I get the Droid 4? (Or wait for Droid 5)

The Droid 4 currently cannot be used on GSM/UMTS networks. It does have a Qualcomm MDM6600 chip which technically can support both CDMA/EVDO and GSM/UMTS networks, but you'd have to flash a different baseband which I don't think is possible at this point.

Not yet. The currently shipped radio firmware has no GSM support. We're all still waiting for an update to provide GSM...

(Also, my D4 is still SIM-locked.)

Sorry to hear that Unfortunately there is no way to use the Droid 4 on GSM/UMTS networks at the moment.

I found some successful cases in forum from China
But need to order the unlock code
Anyways i would order my xt894 and have a try
If i got luck i will tell the buddies on this forum~

Got a link for the order? My Droid 4 is coming in this week. It's at customs now. I live in NL, so trying once wouldn't hurt me.

VZW should unlock it for you if you call and ask. I think you have to have already met some minimum account duration and payment requirements.

I too am waiting for the GSM firmware. With VZW's CDMA roaming, I can go to 40+ countries, but not to Europe.

I finally got my droid4 in hand and confirm it got gsm function is working in Hong Kong!

However, I got it with GSM ALREADY UNLOCKED so I cannot tell you how to unroot it
But probably involve flashing chinese rom
