[Q] Imported HTC Titan will work in India?

[PROGUERAM]

a friend of mine is in the US....can i ask her to pick a HTC Titan for me?

also, if i want a contract-free,SIM-unlocked, is one available?

Or Will it have to be unlocked from my end? thanks...

Also, there is NO LTE/4G in India yet. There is only 3G and I am using a GSM...Will the imported phone work.

thanx!

Hi, i have a HTC Titan (from UK), and works exceptionally well in Mumbai, India. There isn't any radio issues (3G/Edge) and call quality as well as battery life is just fantastic. Don't know if same applies to a unit from USA & whether you need to unlock or not.

Yeah, it is Titan, NOT Titan II. And i did not required any special unloack, i just put my SIM and it works perfevtly. Again, it is UK and NOT USA version. IMHO it is worth all the hassle to get it from overseas, it is just great.

And I am assuming even the price difference would have been a great one...I mean, it would have been really cheap..how long have u been using it?

Been using it for over three months now, but it did cost me close to 37K to get it from UK... How much would it cost to get from USA now? Anything less than 30k is a steal in my opinion.

[PROGUERAM]

I did installed a custom ROM with 7.8 and used it for awhile, but just reverted back to stock in expectation of official 7.8. So, NO, at the moment its not jailbroken.

Excuse my noobness but isn't installing custom ROM = jail breaking?

AFAIK "Jailbreaking" is a term for iOS. For WP, we need to install "HSPL" in order to install any custom ROMs. By default it comes with "SPL". So what i meant was, i installed "HSPL" & then custom ROM... and now back to "SPL" (factory settings). Hope this explains a bit.

I know that...but can u go back to SPL after installing HSPL? I thought u cant?
Also, there are many ways to install SPL on Leo, but nothing for the Titan...will I be able to install custom ROM on ur device again?

If you have to send your Titan I back for repair you have to return it to it's "factory-state" or else you might as well shoot your own toes off for all the good it will do I'm living proof you can kiss HSPL goodbye; the fun starts when you try to put it back on the 2nd time!

Yes and no; you must HSPL to install a custom rom; think of SPL and stock as a Catholic marriage; it's the annulment that counts.
