If so from which carrier?

Thanks in Advance...

[clipskid]

I'm curious to know as well, im thinking it might be the Mobility /Wind ppl who report back

[eljeffreynyc]

Id like to know the same thing, hopefully as more become available we will know. Someone started a thread that Bell was getting it but users soon confirmed they got the SQN100-1

[frankly1100]

SQN100i5 is the version Mobilicity and Wind, as well as T-Mobile, will be releasing. I'm also interested in seeing if this is confirmed so I can get one for use on T-Mobile ASAP.

If it's like the Z, the 2 and the 3 are the same bands and actuated by sim. They have the same radio I think this will apply to the Q as well.

Can someone explain to me in detail what the below post means?

From what I've read the -1 and -5 are both HSPA+/LTE capable on band IV (1700MHz). So it'll be compatible (theoretically) with Mobilicity, SaskTel?, T-Mobile, Videotron, and Wind.

Fido: SQN 100-3

Posted via CB10

[frankly1100]

The SQN100-3 for Fido is the same as Bell and Rogers, LTE on band VII which is 2600MHz. And as I stated before Mobilicity, T-Mobile, Videotron, and Wind is most likely to be the SQN100-5, while Telus and other carriers will be SQN100-1. The SQN100-2 obviously is the Verizon one and the SQN100-4 is presumed to be the future Sprint version.

So there is only 3 versions of the device. Cdma and two gsm versions. One gsm for Europe and one for north and south America. This is how the Z is set up. There is an extensive thread on it. Both the 100-2 and 100-3 of the Z are the same. I have a two and it isn't supposed to have 1700x but it does.

I believe the Q will be the simular. Sorry om om my phone or I would link to the thread

I read the same documents that you attached and saw the following:
1. SQN100-1 - "Tri-band HSPA+ support: UMTS 800/UMTS 850, UMTS 1900, UMTS 2100 MHz band"
2. SQN100-5 - "Quad-band HSPA+ support: UMTS 800/UMTS 850, UMTS 1700, UMTS 1900, UMTS 2100 MHz band"

Are you saying the SQN100-1 has hidden UTMS 1700 band that activates with software or that it exists and is active but simply missing from the reports in the links you posted?

I was mistaken on the -1 but the -5 is definitely the 1700MHz version. There was a post on these forums as well that listed the different Q10 models and has the -1 as a possible functioning 3G/4G device for carriers that's utilize Band IV. But you're correct the -1 doesn't utilize 1700 I was confused, I had the SQN100-2 spec sheet open not even realizing the 1700 was the CDMA band.

I think he just misread the info and thought the -1 had 1700 coverage on HSPA. Because his own documentation clearly states that 1700 support on HSPA only exists on the -5.

I may just wait until Mobilicity/Wind get stock then purchase from them as I would prefer the most versatile version possible (assuming they get the -5)

[clipskid]

On a side note, after reading through the spec's does anyone else find it odd that they would even offer the -1? I mean the -5 looks to be the exact same phone with the exception of having 1700 added to the HSPA frequencies.

[frankly1100]

I might be mistaken but the SQN100-1 does list Quad-band LTE with support for the 1700MHz band.

I bet the 1 and 5 are the same. It's just beat bands they activate on the baseband

Posted via CB10

[B-E-A-S-T]

You mean some kind of software activation of the basebands?

The sim is what is believed to activate it. It's confirmed that the Z10 that shows it doesn't have 1700, does. I have confirmed it myself.

Cool so when I get my Unlocked Q10 back today my WIND SIM card should hopefully activate that band...crossing my fingers and will report back to you...

[Giuliano Grande]

beast did it work for your -1? i got my q10 unlocked (originally a bell). isnt working and when i do a manual network scan it only shows wind away 4g/3g ans sos mode

gotta sell this asap if it means i need the -5 for wind compatibility.

Any news?

[B-E-A-S-T]

Gave it to a local unlocker and he has not gotten the server code yet...in hindsight I should have used the Crackberry service but I had no idea of it until it was too late. Hopefully tomorrow...

it seems NO ONE got the SQN100-5 on any network.

Any news?
