Its should do because on the box of the uk version it lists all of the countries that it works in and im sure NO will mean norway?? Email HTC and double check tho?

It does work in Holland

I bought an unlocked G1 in the USA last week and it functions perfectly in the Netherlands. The only thing you need to do is find your country code and provider code. With these codes you add your APN.

hey!

I'm in spain and 3g work fine, you only need to know the APN from your carrier

No problem, I bought the phone off Ebay.
I'm using the G1 with a Hello simcard. (Telenor network)
Both 3G and Edge works perfect. (I usually disable 3G because of battery drain)

The only problem I have is MMS. At the moment there is from my knowledge not possible to have two different APNs. And Telenor do not have a single APN (that I know of) that support both MMS and internet profile. From what I read this should be solved soon. (Then we can have different APNs assigned to different functions such as MMS, Browser etc...)

The APN I use at the moment is:

Name: Telenor
ANP: internet
Username: dj
Password: dj

I've tried several other combinations with the MMS server, proxy etc... but never got it working.

FYI, I updated my phone (orig US RC28) with the modified TC5-RC8 update found here. Keeping root and getting rid of myfaves and the US number format in the dialer. So make sure the phone you buy is Pre RC30 and don't allow any pushed updates from google.

Løp og kjøp!

First of all, I've got to say that there is more Norwegian guys here than I'd expected. I am used to being the only Norwegian (and sometimes Scandinavian guy) on forums like this.

What about special characters? (æøå)

APN for Telenor - solved

I finally sorted the problem with mms on telenor network. (Norway)
Here is APN parameters i use:

name: Telenor
apn: telenor
username: dj
password: dj
mmsc: http://mmsc/
mms proxy: 10.10.10.11
mms port: 8080
mcc:242
mnc:01

Others not listed are <not set>

With this setup both sending and receiving mms works perfect, as well as normal data connection for browsing/mail etc...

Love the G1

You just hold down the corresponding character and you get what you need. Hold down A and you can use Å , O gives you Ø etc...so no problem.

I am having some problems with the æøå support.
Sometimes when I try to use æø or å it mark the entire text I've written, and when I move the cursor with the scrollwheel I am left with either 'a' or 'o' depending on which character I attempted to write.

It happens in the browser, and sometimes other apps as well.
