Bell Motorola Atrix 4g out on March 17th?

And is so it would be better to get the Bell version over the AT&T version as I am planning to use the phone on Sasktel which shares phones with Telus and Bell.

As I had a Htc desire when it updated to 2.2 the data network quit working on me. And I dont want this to happen again.

Please don't move this to the inactive Bell-mobility sub forum or the Sasktel sub forum.

Thanks

That's what it looks like...I'm eager to see it.

The Bell version may work on the Sasktel without unlocking, but I doubt it. The AT&T model has the same freq bands so it'll work just fine, but I figure it'll cost more after taxes, duty, customs fees, than getting it from Bell.

By "updated" do you mean you flashed a generic firmware on the Desire? If so, you need to setup the Access Point Names (APN) settings for your carrier again. A firmware flash wipes the phone, including the APN settings.

I have a Telus Desire that I unlocked and use on Rogers. When I flashed the firmware to the official HTC generic firmeware, it wiped the phone and I had to manually add the APN again. I updated to Froyo v2.2 via a firmware flash and again had to add the APN. It's not hard to do...press Menu, tap Settings, Wireless & Networks, Mobile networks, Access Point Names. If the APNs screen is blank, then no APN is entered. Just press Menu, Add APN, then fill in the settings as needed. You will need to create 2 new APNs if you use MMS messaging.

NAME: SaskTel 3G
APN: inet.stm.sk.ca
MCC:302
MNC:780
APN type: default

NAME: Sasktel mms
APN: proxy.stm.sk.ca
Proxy: mig.sasktel.com
Port:80
MMSC: http://mms.sasktel.com
MMS Proxy: mig.sasktel.com
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 302
MNC: 780
APN Type: mms

Remember to press Menu, Save, then tap the button beside the APN names to enable the new settings. It should connect in a minute or two.

Actually when Telus updated their phones with 2.2, my phone updated over the air from Telus and ever since it never worked again.

I used them but they dont want to save i have been on every forum around and can not find the answer to my problem....i think its a phone issue

You might need to find someone with the Atrix on the sasktel network and get the APN from them....

I have Rogers APN saved on the phone, so I don't think it's a phone problem. A thought just occurred to me, what's sasktel's network frequencies?

today i received a replacement atrix thinking it was the phone....I am still having he same issue. This makes to sense my xt701 moto and the atrix share all the same frequencies and everything, yet the stupid atrix will not get the MCC and MNC settings the xt701 does then i manually enter everthing else.


I'm sorry but I don't understand the issue, what do you mean by MCC and MNC?

the mcc is the country code mine is 302 and the mnc is the mobile network code mine is 780. i have been told and my other motorola does this, is that when you put the sim in those 2 numbers are read from the sim. when you go to input a APN manually they are the 2 codes that should already be there from the sim card. Mine are not, they are just blank. i enter them manually along with my network settings that i use on my other MOTO and when i go to save the APN the setting disappear and go blank as if i never entered them.

This is the second pone to do this, the were both Bell Atrix. I guess i have to give up and not have an atrix. I talked to another guy on this forum who said he is running an atrix on my network no problem. He even gave me his settings and stilll nothing. ARRRGHHHHHHH!!!!
