[Q] sensation hardware that is being sold in N. America

[-=knop=-]

guys could you please update me on the subject

i need to clarify the fact that there are two versions of sensation in north america
1) 900/1700/2100 MHz (tmobile)
2) 850/900/1800/1900 MHz (att)

because that would explain the price gap between two of them (~200$) as the first one is useless in rest of the world/europe and thus lacks export demand........

as far as i know there is no sensation for at&t at the moment. Maybe your thinking of the Bell version in Canada? Also the price should be the same except maybe the t-mobile one is the price after the 2 year contract subsidy.

not sure which one is it but it is very clear on ebay that prices on second version are higher
....

just need some guru to confirm the fact that there are two versions for UMTS band 4 and 5 ...

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands

the outcome is probably lack of 3g speed data transfers in europe with us tmobile version of the phone...

Yes, the T-mobile version is umts band 4 and the Bell wireless one is umts band 5. Gut if your using it in Europe why don't you just get the Europe version of the HTC sensation?

I'm confused. While I was in England, I thought I used my T-Mobile Sensation for calls (although, most were through WiFi).
