[Q] Will the US VP's 3G work in Europe?

---

So according to the other thread the US version would have 850/1700/2100.

Would that work in Europe? (Netherlands/Belgium/Germany) Or just in the US?

Sorry if this has been answered before. Can't find a clear overview anywhere.

EDIT: Found out that European HSDPA is 1900/2100. (1900 being for upstream 2100 for downstream). Does that mean I can still use 3g but only downstream?

The US version has 900/1700/2100 - it can for sure be used in the UK

I don't know what bands the rest of Europe uses

The australia version is advertised as having 1900/2100

Ebay has some pre-orders.

So definitely fully functional in the UK for calls and 3G, right?

Couple of people I know are going to visit NY for 10 days starting next week.

But I just found out there's not a single Microsoft store on the East Coast
Ebay's filled with preorders unfortunately.

Bah.

If anyone has tips on getting a VP to NY so they can pick it up in the next couple of weeks, please let me know

@Peew: GSM 900 is used accross Europe, no exceptions. Phone supports it so it'll work.

By the time they get there Dell will have them on their website so you could order it and have it delivered to their hotel or whatever they stay .

Smart man will probably need a US credit card though?

Think I'm going to buy an HTC Trophy anyway, because then I can get it today, won't have to worry about minor hardware mistakes or other warranty related stuff... And I'll have it today
Just played around with it in a store and I fell in love immediately with the OS. Couldn't see the phone anymore, so I figured it's not worth the hassle.

Out of interest, why go for the Trophy over the HD7? I only ask as I've been trying to work out what benefits it would give. I'm assuming here that you're buying the phone outright and so it's not a case of it's the only model you can get from your operator.
