Default Rogers Sapphire on AT&T 3G?

Just a curious question, is there a possibility that an HTC Sapphire/Magic from Rogers will work on AT&T's network?

Default Apparently

I read that pretty much all current HTC GSM devices from Europe and Asia do indeed work on American 3G networks. For the longest time we were tricked into thinking the HTC Touch HD only worked on American Edge networks. However, a recent document released by HTC proves that it does have support for American 3G bands. I am waiting for the HTC hero to come out for ORANGE. At which point I will drop the big bucks to get it early.
Current Devices:
Sony Google TV (NSZ-GT1)
AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3: CM10.1 Nightlies
AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note: CM10 stable
Asus Transformer Prime: CM10 Nightly
iPhone 4: Stock
Motorola Atrix: Cracked screen + MIUI

Thats incorrect. the Touch HD papers were before the phone was even released, so those specs were never real. 3G networks in europe uses 2100 whereas at&t in the US uses 850/1900 3G bands. Not compatible.


But Rogers in canada uses the same exact bands as at&t usa. So you will have 3G in america. (Afterall Rogers used to be "Rogers at&t"

I'm on Rogers HTC Magic too on AT&T in California, 3G works fine. You just need to sim unlock it and you're good to go.

It's locked in the ROM it looks like, because not even market enabler lets me see everything.
