is TyTN compatible in Japan ?

---

I have a question for all japan Xda-dev's : does the TyTN work in Japan ( I will be in Tokyo next week) or do I have to leave it at home ?
is the FOMA of NTT (or VODAFONE umts) compatible with this phone ?

thanks to all

yes. i believe it works with docomo's network. the HTC TyTN is GSM/WCDMA and since japan's network is WCDMA, it should work there. I alse believe that Japan is selling the TyTN as the HTC Z in Docomo's network.

Take a read here:

I am really using Dopod CHT9000 (Taiwan version of Hermes) in Japan.

I have confirmed that it can work completely with Japan's W-CDMA 3G networks, both NTT DoCoMo and Vodafone Japan (FYI, its name will be changed as Softbank from Oct 1).

thank you all, and this is the official HTC reply to my question

Dear Lorenzo

Yes the HTC TyTN is fully compatable with the Japanese networks. We also supply phones to Japan and have many satisfied customers there.

I would be careful my XDA EXEC only works on Vodafone because docomo base stations are a mixture of R99 and R4 (Standard)

Unless they are upgraded the stations or the Radio firmware on the Tytn you may have problems if you use DoCoMo on a non japanese Tytn

Also it's going to be pricey to run since Vodafone or docomo doesn't have capped price plans (i.e all you can eat)

They do offer discount plans but they are still damm pricey ( I'm using a PDA and a PHS card because of this)

I am using Dopod9000 with a FOMA sim card, working perfectly for both voice and data. I used to go with Vodafone which is really expensive for data but Docomo is getting affordable, it can be close to 10,000 yen a month like what Willcom (phs) can offer.

Dug my Exec from the back of the cupboard last night and tried the FOMA simm from my work phone

Still doesn't work on DoCoMo which radio version has your phone got on it ?( Setting--> system ---> device info)

Thanks
