Hello everyone.
I am considering purchasing a Venue (used) and was planning on using on T-mobile. I know T-mobile filters IMEIs of their Android phones and banned from using cheap ($5.99 or $9.99) data plans. Since Dell Venue is sold unlocked and not branded by T-mobile, would it be safe to assume that can use web2Go or older T-zones data plans (like HTC HD2 and other WindowsMobile and Symbian phones) given I can put in the settings in Andoid? Just wandering if anyone had luck with that.
I also would appreciate any feedback about the phone, esp with regarding to ease of rooting and removing apps (or any guides on doing so). Thanks.

Hi Guys,
I've had a search around and can't find an answer to this so far. I'm still looking though.
There is a seller offering the Atrix 4G in the UK. As far as I know, the bands are compatible for 2G and 3G. I don't expect 4G to work as the UK is only auctioning off the 4G spectrum next year.
I want to find out if the phone will update itself in the UK, OTA or WiFi, I'm not bothered which.
The seller has 50 of these to sell, all "unlocked and without carrier affiliations". Will this allow me to do things like sideloading .APK files that AT&T has blocked on their devices?
has anyone got any experience using an Atrix in the UK?
My other options for handsets are the Incredible S and the Optimus 2x, although I'm liking the huge battery and qHD display on the Atrix.
I'm selling a Nexus S if anyone is interested. It's on ebay, seller cfhuk. I'll waive the postage for XDA and MoDaCo members, and this has also been posted in the ebay section of the forum. Sorry if saying this here breaks the rules. I linked it in the ebay section.
Thanks all.
Chris.
It is compatible in the uk. I have a friend who uses it on vodafone. Works both 2g & 3g

Hello All,
I've been using an iPhone 3G (ewww) for the past 2 years and I am finally looking to upgrade to a better phone. Right now, I have 3 options.
1) Stay with my current carrier (Fido) and get the LG Optimus 2x. I like that it has the Tegra 2 processor in it like my tablet (Acer A500), but I have read some bad reviews on engadget about it.
2) Change to another carrier (Rogers). Cancellation fees are not an issue as they will buy back my current contract. I would be able to get my hands on a Motorola Droid Razr (XT910) but would end up paying slightly more per month for about the same plan.
3) If the XT910 is compatible with Fido, I could simply buy it off NCIX or other vendor full price.
I'm really interested in the XT910. The large screen and thin form factor are really a plus.
What do you guys think?
XT910 is compatible with all the world GSM and WCDMA frequencies, so, if Fido is a GSM/UMTS/HSPA/LTE -- 2G/3G/4G, it will work flawlessly.
As of now, im in the market for a NEW phone, off contract under $100
Currently i am using a CLIQ from the states. The problem with this phone is that in canada, the 3G on bell and rogers works on the same radios as AT&T,and therefore my phone only works with 2g.
I am on prepaid with speakout mobile(10$ for 2500 texts, 10$ for unlimited data) and it can access 3G AND 4G data on the rogers network, but as my phone can only use 2g i see no point in keeping it.
Now that its boxing day time i start looking through my flyers and i see a LG Optimus One for about 60$ and a INQ Cloud Touch for 90$ and im debating both of them. These are both on telus prepaid and need to be unlocked..
Now, i was wondering which phone would be better to buy?
The INQ Or the LG? Or is there another phones in that price range i should buy?
The INQ has a larger screen and a better camera with a greater visual appeal, but the LG has a huge Dev community with many roms, and it is cheaper.
So, i was wondering which phone would be a better buy? Im leaning towards the LG because of its rootablility and because i like [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408952"This ROM.[/URL]
Furthermore, i am wondering if there is a way with ABD or something like that to carrier unlock the Optimus one and be able to use it with another SIM. or would i have to do it the "Old fashioned way" and buy the unlock code?
Thanks for all the help
Hi!
This thread offers a great overview table: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756338
I really don't understand the specs well. I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to these things.
However, to me it seems that the Docomo version offers the better deal compared to the international version.
I have to decide within today which version I am purchasing.
So, I'd like to get advice from others living in Japan with this device!
I live in the deepest countryside, so I won't be using LTE / 4G unless I'm traveling, but I guess it's nice to have it anyways.
Other than that, I'm also concerned about pricing!
The Docomo version seems more expensive to me:
71,400円 (docomo version) + 3150円 unlocking + 10.000円 cancellation of contract = 84550円
- 47,358円 (international version) = 37192円
That's almost 40.000円!
I know that Docomo is offering several discounts, but they're only having the campaign until TODAY!
So I need to decide quickly.
Apart from the price for the phone I'm also worried about the plan / monthly fees.
If I go with Docomo I think I have to stick with them. Can anybody let me know what you roughly pay per month with this device?
If I purchase the international version then I could use Softbank, Docomo or b-mobile.
B-Mobile looks cheap at first sight, but I have difficulties understanding their SIMs and plans.
Does anybody use b-mobile with a smartphone and can tell me more about it?
Thanks so much in advance!!
I'm receiving the AT&T Tribute GoPhone on Tuesday that I bought online on Black Friday from Walmart for only $40, and I'm wondering if anyone knows of a way to root this device? It's made by Huawei and it has tons of Huawei and AT&T bloatware apps that I'd like to remove. My previous phone was also an AT&T GoPhone (Avail 2), and I successfully rooted it with no problems, but the Tribute is a brand new phone and is running 4.4.3 KitKat. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Also looking for a case and a screen protector for it, but like I said before, it's a new device so I don't expect to find those for at least a few weeks.
