Hi all.

Any news on the DHD going 3G?

I really want this phone, but if I buy it unlocked on Ebay (the only place I can get it right now) it's about 1000$ - plus it won't work on the 3G network here in Canada.

I plan to use only wifi anyway, I just think that if it will be released here soon with the 3G capability while I'll have a 1000$ phone with no 3G, I'll feel like a damn fool....



you guys probably get this a lot, but....:


any advice?

 

Sorry, I'm a rookie in this whole area....
By "3G" I meant a phone that will work in the 3G bands here in Canada.


I was told by HTC that the 3G won't work in Canada, hence my predicament.

 

After looking it up, this is what my canadian carrier, Rogers, is offering

• GSM/GPRS/EDGE on the 850 and 1900 MHz bands (Also known as 2G GSM, or 2.5G in the case of EDGE)
• UMTS/HSPA on the 850 and 1900 MHz bands (Also known as 3G GSM)

so I guess my question is-
do you know of any plans to make the DHD to match this band, or should I buy this phone now which will guaranty I won't be able to use anything but wifi or the very slow edge connection with it?

 

The 3 things that got me excited about the DHD are

-the pre-installed maps (which turns the phone to a navigation system- with no dependency on internet of cell coverage)

-the htcsense.com integration

-the Dolby Mobile and SRS virtual surround sound (which turns the phone to a truly high-end mp3 player).

If the HTC Incredible HD has similar features I'll be very happy !!!
