MOTODEV > Products > Motorola MILESTONE

I am confused about bands but does this mean this phone will work with AT&T 3G? :icon_ banana:

GSM 850/900/1800/1900
W-CDMA 900/2100 or 850/1900/2100
GPRS/EDGE Class 12
HSDPA 10.1
HSUPA 5.7

NO.... T-Mobile uses GSM 1700 for their 3G service... it will work but you will only get edge

T-Mobile? I am asking about AT&T, sorry if I confused you... or maybe I am confused.

lol i need some sleep... ATT uses 850 and 1900 for 3G....


sorry i went on a 12 hour fishing trip today, im a little beat.

also i doubt it will come to the USA but it has a high likelyhood of going to Rogers in Canada which is GSM...

Well I figured since it looks to be a devphone everyone will be able to get it just like the G1 devphone. I may have jumped the gun a little bit but I am fucking excited about a droid with 3G and AT&T.

Yeah it should work on AT&T if you were able to get one here. Seeing as the bands are within range.

 

[shatteredzman]

Well since it works on AT&T can a mod remove "I think" from the title? I will be getting this phone one way or another!

 

[New2u]

I'm saying "i think" because it hasn't been done yet.. so it will be "i think" untill i see it done.

I've read the same thing about it coming to Rogers. If it does, it 'should' work with AT&T..

also i doubt it will come to the USA but it has a high likelyhood of going to Rogers in Canada which is GSM...

Yeah you are right. I am starting to think I misunderstood what the "motodev" site was about. I found this post made today by an admin on the site.

Hello Amiz,



At this time Motorola does not offer any unlocked, or development, Android handsets.



I show that you are a member of the App Accelerator Program. One of benefits of this program is access to the MOTODEV Virtual Developer Lab where you can test your Android application on real handsets. For more information please see our App Accelerator Program site.





Best Regards,

I guess all this confirms is the milestone is comming to canada?

I hate to be the only one posting in this thread but it seems the Brazil version of the Motorola Milestone may work on AT&T since they share some of the same 3G bands. The Brazil version of the Milestone is expected to become available by the end of the year so I guess we will see.
