I have the Diamond w/AT&T

---

Unfortunately bad news everyone. For some ungodly reason the Diamond is only showing G! Not even Edge! From what HTC is telling me they are only supporting 3G on the 2xxx Mhz band? That makes no sense whatsoever! I am willing to try things if anyone has a suggestion but so far not good! Which is weird because I previously reviewed the original Triband TYTN and that at least did get 3G on and off but always had Edge.

I don't know why you're not getting edge, thats a an extension of GPRS which works over GSM.

As for 3G/UMTS, it never said it suported anything but 900/2100. There's nothing you can do, HTC already said that there wasnt enough space in the phone for the extra antenna's required to support more frequencies.

isnt edge on 1900 ?

yup it is! I would be willing to look into the registry to see if there is a tweak? Any of you have an idea?

no idea my guess would be try forcing 1900 ?

beyond that i wouldnt know


try different area ?

Edge in the US in most areas is 850Mhz, which is the reason I held off on my purchase of the Diamond.

hmmm

interesting but i had bought a original touch in india and that works in most places that i go in the states and i recieve edge

thats the answer ,,, non us versions of diamond don't operate on 850mhz

so dave did u get an hsdpa signal?
and im sorry u in jersey or nyc?
i forgot

sorry but is there a reg edit where he could force the device to look for 850?
just to see if its hidden..then we can find out if they really left out the radio or not...i really wanted to pick one up ...but if it doesnt have 850 its a no go for me...bummer
