Xperia T lt30a, AWS HSPA?

PiePie — Fri, 23 Nov 2012 03:09:29 GMT

My friend offered to sell me his Xperia T from Rogers (Canadian provider), but I'm unsure if it has 1700/AWS for HSPA+ (aka T-Mobile/ Wind Mobile HSPA).

Can anyone let me know if it does for sure?

I know the LT30p Xperia T has that frequency as well as the LT29i Xperia TX.

Because according to the white paper http://dl-developer.sonymobile.com/d...T_LTE_WP_1.pdf it does have AWS HSPA.

The LT30at Xperia TL from AT&T does not have it as stated in the white paper: http://dl-developer.sonymobile.com/d...ia_TL_WP_4.pdf

Does anyone know for sure if the LT30a has HSPA AWS/1700? I've also googled around and I've been getting mixed contradicting answers.

The Rogers site says it doesn't... I'm very confused! http://www.rogers.com/web/link/wirel...IATBLK&N=52+11

Thank you!

go with the white paper

UMTS HSPA+ 850 (Band V), 900 (Band VIII), 1700 (Band IV), 1900 (Band II), 2100 (Band I) GSM EDGE 850, 900, 1800, 1900

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands

Sony's flagship now work with both Tmobile and AT&T, it's interesting that Rogers went with the T instead of the TL.

But would the TL from AT&T have AWS HSPA too? Cause their site and white paper doesn't state it. I'm guessing it's not, but that's just what I found doing research. I'm with a small provider that only offers AWS HSPA, no GSM or PCS

anytime, enjoy your Xperia T, although it lacks great features from the Xperia V and for some reason the Xperia T, Tl, TX does NOT have 3D panoramic camera nor 3D multiangle camera

Xperia V

1) Bluetooth 4.0 (the Xperia T has Bluetooth 3.1).

2) Mobile BRAVIA Engine2: An evolution of Mobile BRAVIA Engine delivering an ever better viewing experience by adding a new real-time contrast optimisation and improving sharpness enhancement on top of high quality colour management and noise reduction.

3) ClearAudio+ mode: Developed with Sony’s own signal processing technologies, allows users to effortlessly enjoy audio quality that may have been stripped away by music compression. ClearAudio+ mode incorporates a variety of Sony’s sound technologies, but with one simple operation, users can easily enjoy Sony recommended sound in ultimate clarity and presence, across the entire spectrum of sound.

4) HDR (High Dynamic Range): The camera quickly captures the image twice with different exposure levels and layers it together to create one optimised photo. HDR is automatically activated when Superior Auto detects scenes with strong backlight.

5) Superior Auto: Technology used in Sony Cyber-shot Digital Camerasthat intelligently detects scenes (up to nine scenes), sets most optimal settings for still image, and applies best image processing including layered technology (up to four photos), making it easy to get the best shot even in a dark or backlight scene.

6) Gorilla Glass.

7) water proof.

I was looking at the Xperia V! I would definitely get that if only it would come with Band IV... A guy can dream right?

I wish the Xperia V was compatible with AT&T LTE

I bought an Xperia T LT30A locked to Bell. I unlocked it with a code from CellUnlocker.net. It stated on the box that it supported GMS 800/1800/1900/2100 & UTMS/HSPA+ Bands 1/2/4/5 plus some LTE bands. This all seemed good so I went ahead and bought it being an Xperia fan since my first Sony purchase through Rogers with the X10 years back. I started up my phone and it connected to the WIND network like it should, but there is no 3G. I can make calls and send txt messages but do not get data at all.
