Rogers rom vs. Ion rom

---

ok so i just bought a google ion recently. it still has the tmobile sim in it. i live in canada (vancouver) and i can't seem to get 3g speeds out here on the ion (roaming on rogers network). i was thinking of just selling the ion and picking up a rogers magic instead so that i could get 3g speeds. after my use of the tmobile sim runs out at the end of the month, i was planning on using rogers (or fido) anyway.

now what's the deal here? do you guys think i should get the rogers phone or not?

is the ion rom a lot better than the rogers?

why can't i get 3g on the ion? i thought rogers used 850/1900 and tmobile used 900/1900?

i don't really want to throw in a cooked rom on either one. i used to use a lot of cooked roms on winmo, but i don't really want to get into cooked roms using android. anyway thanx...

no t-mobile uses 1700 in the states.......u are right about rogers' bands...getting the magic will get you the 3G speeds you are looking for.

cant comment on the rom though

thanks for the reply

anyone else know which is better rom?

3G bands in Magic depends on hardware or firmware?
Chipsets MSM7200A & MSM7201A supply all range HSDPA/WCDMA: 850/850/900/1700/1900/2100 MHz

Can i flash Rogers with Ion firmware (or other) and change 3G bands from 850/1900 to 900/2100?

Ion ROM is faster than Rogers Magic ROM but it lacks some of the HTC built-in apps (Exchange, camera/camcorder interface, and etc).
