I'm going to America for 8 months(Ferris State University, Michigan) and I would like to take my EVO 3D GSM with me.. but will it be useable?
I did read something about a GSM network in America(straightalk or t-mobile) or are they on a completely different frequency? Because then I would need to buy another phone there.

I want to say from my days with T-Mobile that if the phone is unlocked, they will activate it with one of their Sim cards. My only concern is if there is a frequency difference. You could contact T-Mobile and ask them.

At&t is also GSM, but again, unsure about the frequencies they use. T-mobile and att are the big 2 GSM carriers. Most if not all prepaid carriers piggyback off of those 2 or the CDMA carriers.

I would say you are probably ok, gsm is know to be a world phone meaning you can basically use it without sny major ulteration, I am in canada my evo is gsm( as we only have gsm in canada) and I am using an european based rom with no problems, You will definately need a sim card from the u.s. which you can pick up when in the states or you can order one on ebay. You will also need to be unlocked.

i was looking at this website http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_evo_3d-3901.php and under GENERAL it says "3G Network HSDPA 900 / 1700 / 2100" doesn't T-Mobile USA uses 170/2100 bands for their 3g/HSPA+ network? im just asking, because im not sure, does anybody know?
Yes they do. That was the original spec that was posted on the HTC worldwide website. However that part of the spec was removed very quickly, possibly in response to the AT&T/T-Mobile purchase announcement.

Are you using the UK model or the US Sprint model?
not possible to use the sprint one on a gsm only network
I had pre-ordered a EVO 3d gsm from negri electronics and just got it in today. Over all great experience with this company. Phone was brand new in sealed package. Unlocked and working on all ATT bands. Very pleased with them. Now its on to rooting.

You are getting 3g? Website states 900/2100 HSPA which won't work anywhere in the States. I mean you will get Edge/Gprs but not 3g...
Yes I am getting 3g. It is the Rogers version with 850/1900 bands.

I went to their website and seen what you were talking about. And you were correct that one will not get 3g as it has 900/2100 bands.
If you go to the EVO 3d gsm unlocked one it has the correct bands. But is actually on back order. When I got mine they had only received 2 units in. http://negrielectronics.com/htc-evo-3d-gsm-unlocked.html

Cool, good to know. Did yours say Rogers then? Or does it have the plain gold back? Or actually a red back like the picture (I prefer the red!)...

yes mine does say rogers on the back with the gold ring around the camera. and before i rooted and put a custom rom it boot animation and down animation were both rogers.
Edit: The only thing I did to get my data going was put the apn info for ATT.
Got a question, if I got a euro EVO 3d then if i root and flash a different radio will it pick up different signals to better support it here in the USA or am I just stuck on edge??. If not is there any software adjustments that can be made to make it pick up at least 3g??

It all depends I'd there is a carrier lock. Might want to post this in the GSM 3D forum.

Isn't there only a GSM development forum? Q and A forum might be a little better.

You cant software modify it to get AT&T 3G. You need a X515A model number (Rogers) EVO 3D. No way around it.

BTW, anyone with a rogers evo 3d care to send an stock rom or nandroid backup? My seller shipped me the evo 3d with a custom rom, that failed. Really would like stock back.
I was getting bored so why not a poll ?
Wow lol jk I got a sprint version (the original)lol
GSM here. Got mine from an eBay seller who imported it from Taiwan. Works fine on Telstra in Australia.

What IS CDMA
GSM, It is.
GSM over here also!
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda premium
Wow where is all the CDMA people at ?
The poll has really shocked me . I thought Cdma would be much much more but apparently not. now may be more devs will come to the gsm android development side .
P.s. based on the poll at the writing of this post
i would go with cdma...gsm companies here are no good..prices suck
CDMA here in the US
GSM here in OZ. I did hear a comercial on the radio saying Telstra is starting 4G roll-out, so maybe soon.
I'm actually kinda surprised at how many have the GSM version. For all that, why not just wait a few extra weeks and get the GNex which just released in Europe.
it seems that no CDMA users here cuz they are bussy rooting and s-off ing and trying new ROMs not like us GSM users we are just jumping around topics looking for something fitting our version and now we lost hope of devlopment section and we are looking for MODS in general section
CDMA here... Sprint
Bump... Bump ....
Cdma here. Sprint service sucks balls

Hi guys I'm having evo3d sent from America a friend is given me it would it work in the UK with my UK sim. If not is there anything in can do to make it work like changing the firmware to Europe or can I just root it and use custom roms on it
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
No, if it's from sprint. Sprint phones use cdma technology, so no slot to put your sim in... Lol, anyways, you need a gsm evo 3d, which nobody carries in the US.
