It is is one of those rare phone that work with every every carrier in Canada!

Except for Public Mobile. Not that 99% of Canada would care though.

The speed is good. This is I belive a quad band? phone but it is T-Mobile unlocked, so I think the above comment presumes too much?!

Quote from a review…….The Optimus T is a quad-band EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) and dual-band HSDPA 7.2 (1700/2100 MHz) device with 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi.

SO I guess"EDGE" is the key here for the Optimus.

You should be able to use Wind/Mobility sim and get 3G for this phone. This phone should be good for asia/europe as it has 2100 band.

Can it do 3g on speakout network ?
I've tried it and it only shows @edge@ speed.

It can see wind network but apparently can't see rogers 3g ( it seems rogers gsm - I assume it is 2g )

@Canadiana
So you mean in order to make full use of say C3(like the email or facebook apps), one has to call them for the 10/month feature.

Thats 3G correct?

This is in Winnipeg.

Both are $10/month, both are unlimited.
The one they've always offered is the one that is available online in your account management login. This is the one for use with all phones except SO C3 and C5. Even 3rd party C3 and C5 are limited to the original one.
However, when they introduced the C3, they introduced a new web browsing plan. What the difference is, I don't really know. But, it is a different option for the customer service agents that we customers don't have access to. It can only be acquired by updating your account with a valid IMEI for a SO C3 or C5. Without it, your C3 won't operate the web browsing properly or maybe not at all.

That is, one has to call their customer support to enable this feature instead of just DIY on the account management ?

not quite sure what you mean by web settings ? do you mean APN or setting on SO side ?

These phones use different web settings than the rest. If you add the web browsing online you will NOT get the right one, so never add it yourself if you're using one of these phones. The C3/C5 web settings are not available for 3rd party phones. And they don't even work on 3rd party C3/C5.

this week I just got a new phone. It can use 3G on Speak out. Everything runs fabulous

How about telling folks which phone and how you set it up?

Actually it same settings like other people talked before. same as iphone, you need to setup a proxy to use the internet. there are a lot of free proxy apps on the market. just download and intall. The only thing cannot run is Voip. I'm trying to let it work. for the Voip, you can get as low as 0.5 cent/min call for whole Canada.

Everyone knows that only smart phone makes sense for data plan and an unmetered data plan cannot live long on smart phone.

Luckily, we have more reasonable options now(not that they are cheap but not too outrageous) so other than the 'I want to use my cell to replace my home broadband and stream netflix for 10 bucks guys', we should be fine.

I first saw it on May 21st. Wish there was an affordable data plan instead of a web browsing plan though.

Mike, are you actually getting data to work on your iPhone 3G? Or are you just speaking of the voice and text service?

I just have the standard pay-as-you-go voice and text service. I have not subscribed to any data or browsing plan although I thought they only have the one unlimited browsing for $10/month - are there other plans I am unaware of?
