First run on HTC Aria, some questions

[xWOLKx]

Hello everybody,
I just bought an HTC Aria and now I use it in Italy, but I have some problems.

First of all, the only language available are english, francais and espaniol.
There is not a problem, i prefer english menu, but on SMS I don't have italian dictionary...I think that I only need to install another keyboard?

So also Google Voice can't resolve my voice, he found absurde english words if i speak italian...this is a big problem, I can't use the more powerful features of android.

I tryed MoreLocale2 and CustomLocale without result, they need root to work or the Aria don't have any another language??

furthermore I have a problem with 3G. the phone work ONLY with GPRS, it don't connet nor 3G nor EDGE (or similar). Need to add the Vodafone APN? Because I tryed to search it but I have found only internet APN or MMS APN.

Thanks a lot for your help

I don't believe that google voice is set up for anything but English (and the US, actually). And the Aria doesn't have the 2100 3g band (only att US: 850 and 1900). So in most of the world you'll be on edge, and that's just the way it goes; it's a hardware limitation. It's not too bad, really: I was just in Central Asia and the Caucasus for a month using a succession of different sim cards, and it worked pretty well. Just no 3g.

Ok!
But is normal who i never see EDGE icon? I see only G (I think I can connect only with GPRS => 50kbps and not with EDGE => 200kb)


(furthermore the phone continue to ask me to set current time and the weather into sense lost my location if I disconnect from WiFi)

Reminds me of the time my old IT manager asked me once if I was a "be sea clist". I don't know if it's common or not, but I was unsure of what he was asking, so he just repeated it over and over and over, finally gave up.

Then I rode off on my bicycle confused..

Man, kills the joke if you gotta explain it.

He was asking me if I was a bicyclist. But the accent made it sound like "be sea clist"

ahahahah now I understand!
So, now I could try to say "bicyclist" in Google Voice to see if my english is good
