| 1171017 | 2011-01-20 00:15:00 | As a tweaking hack machine android was my "goal" its just that there were a few issues I had with market fragmentation/finding a decent phone. A mate has a HTC Desire HD, talk about BRICK!!! its huuuuuuge! Thats a good thing though, big is good (unless you have small pockets) I just felt it was a bit laggy when scrolling through the apps. Been offered in NZ a galaxy 580, any good? ($250 ) So, i'll probably get a Galaxy or Nexus S. Nexus looks good with the direct updates. So, what on the Galaxy line is better than a 580? App wise, entertainment, music, browsing and the rest is unpredictable. I might suddenly start using GPS one day and then start making an app that triangulates cell towers/AP's So, big is good (again) with processor speed and memory size. Speeding llama! |

| 1171018 | 2011-01-20 00:20:00 | Also, in china the mobile data is dirt cheap! we stream NZ radio when in the car, its crazy. also, every shop has free wifi. you are never not connected unless you don't have a VPN for the social network One more thing, since I might buy internationally, what are telecom's frequencys and services, I think it is 850/900 MHz GPRS HDSPA N/A GSM |

| 1171019 | 2011-01-20 02:35:00 | Not quite - Telecom XT is WCDMA only, they don't offer GPRS at all. XT runs mainly on 850MHz, with (I think) some 2100MHz infill in urban areas. 900MHz isn't used by Telecom at all, that's one of Vodafone's 3G frequencies. :pf1mobmini: |

| 1171021 | 2011-01-20 03:00:00 | Is all of telco WCDMA? I thought XT was UMTS (3G) with HDSPA. Thanks for the freq clarifications, I always get my freq's confused, sometimes with the Tx/Rx :o instead of Tx 355 Rx 360 I'll do it Tx 360 Rx 355. Such a fail. I really need to fix that problem! Quickly!! |

| 1171022 | 2011-01-20 03:43:00 | Is all of telco WCDMA? I thought XT was UMTS (3G)...WCDMA is one of the various UMTS implementations, and is the most common one. The WCDMA acronym is often used synonymously with UMTS. ...with HDSPA.Yes, XT supports the HSPA+ / HSDPA / HSUPA extensions. See here (en.wikipedia.org). |
