DHD, No North America?

[bteljuice]

Is it true that the Hardware of the DHD will not ALLOW 3G to work in NA?

I live in Canada and am craving to get the DHD but if it doesn't support 3G, it's not worth it.
Maybe Nexus 2 will be better.

Here is why i am asking, FCC information

Hi bteljuice. Maybe it doesn't allow that work in NA. But technology now a days are improving it might work on that.

It depend what frequencies your service provider uses.

The DHD supports
2G: 850, 900, 1,800, and 1,900 MHz (quad-band)
3G: 900 and 2,100 MHz (dual-band)
HSDPA (14.4 Mbit/s)
HSUPA (5.76 Mbit/s)

Also, i was under the impression that the HTC Inspire was the US version of the DHD

Basically, the American frequencies for 3G are different. I think that if I remember correctly, the best case scenario that you will have is 3G upload and 2G speeds.

It's these reasons, along with 4G, why the Inspire 4G is the Desire HD in the States.

Thread is old. Second poster never should have replied with useless info. Thread was before Telus DHD and inspire was released. Obviously they have been out for awhile now so this thread is dead.
