| 801182 | 2009-08-15 02:58:00 | Hi all. Doing some research, and it's doing my head in. Does anyone know if a nokia N95 will work on the new XT network? Being a WCDMA network, I'm not really clear if the N95 will work with it. HSPA, HSPDA, WCDMA, it's doing my head in. Thanks. |

| 801183 | 2009-08-15 03:08:00 | If you have a N95 for the Voda network, if it is like a E75 (Nokia) then no it won't work. XT has no 2G network or any GSM. It is just a 3G network - 900 isn't it? If you have a XT phone then it will work on the 2G on Vodafone or 3G when and if Vodafone goes to the 1900 network ... I think. |

| 801184 | 2009-08-15 03:16:00 | This might help you: Phones that are capable of 850 MHz UMTS connections will be able to access the network throughout the country. In some densely populated areas, including the main city centres, handsets will also be able to connect using 2100 MHz UMTS. Many older 3G handsets, manufactured before 2008 only support 2100MHz and would not be well suited to the XT Network as they would only have coverage in major urban areas. From here (en.wikipedia.org). There's also a page here (www.gsmarena.com) which lists the n95's specifications, which you might find useful. Upon doing a bit of research myself I don't think it will work (as the n95 doesn't have 850Mhz WCDMA), but I may be wrong. |

| 801187 | 2009-08-15 07:49:00 | When I looked at the E75 - well I haven't yet bought it yet. The basics were that I had to get a USA version to run on XT. EU will run on Voda/2 Degrees. The thing is that the E75 which is the same generation to the N95, wouldn't surprise me if the bands are the same. The EU versions does not have 850 3G XT frequency. It may have 2G 850 so it doesn't work. If you are wanting XT throughtout the country that is what you need unless you just need it for the metro centres that 2100 may work. If you have a XT and want to go with Voda/2 Degrees - it is easier. Cos it supports 900 I think 2G GSM straight away for now. As well as a few 3G networks maybe not now that Voda/2 Degrees have, but in the future it is expected (2100). |

That is the 3G network. 850 for XT. Something else for Voda. Cannot remember. Maybe 1800 not sure WCDMA. The E(GSM) 900 is 2G plain GSM for Vodafone. XT has no 2G with it. |
