Default CDMA Phones that work with T-Mobile.

Im wondering about which ones will work with T-Mobile.
I know of the Storm, but I was more specifically interested in HTC Touch.


It says it supports 1900Mhz / EDGE frequency.
If anything, this thread can be so that we can list all CDMA / GSM capable phones.
I'm sure a lot of people are curious of the subject.

These forums can be quite useless from time to time.
:\

I don't know whether or not to take your post as sarcasm, or you trying to make some sort of point?

Ebay, that's what I'm going off of, I don't need brand new from the MFG.

Anyways, I realize that the phone I was mentioning has an ATT Counterpart, so when Specs are released, they are generalized, as each Carriers version of that phone are different.

The ATT one goes from ~140-200 on Ebay, refurbished / new.
I have decided for that price I might as well go with the storm as intended, I felt that HTC might offer a healthy alternative, but no.

As for the whole picture; I still think it would be worth some peoples while if a collection of SIM capable CDMA phones were mentioned here.

Of course that requires the users to respond with worthwhile information, in which case, please refer to the top of this post :\

Ishbar,

The issue is that the Storm is a "World Edition" phone. Therefore, it has both CDMA and GSM radios on it (GSM works only for international when on VZW). However, some people have been able to unlock the storm and put it on Tmobile or AT&T.

The HTC Touch, specifically branded for VZW is not a dual technology (or "world edition") phone. It can only be used on VZWs CDMA network and is not able to be unlocked onto any GSM carrier.

The link that was posted, to make things more confusing, is to an unlocked version of the Touch. AT&T never released a version of this phone, so any postings you see on EBay that say it is AT&T branded are false. They probably mean that it is able to be used on AT&T, and therefore is most likely the unlocked version of the touch which the poster after your original post referred you to.

The other CDMA/GSM World Phones I know of are

From VZW:
Blackberry 8830 WE
Blackberry 9530 Storm
Samsung Saga

From Sprint:
Blackberry 8830 WE
Samsung ACE

The 9630 aka the Tour will be a World Phone.
