will be arriving in Manila late this week with a PRE GSM I bought in Berlin (right now am using an O2 sim). Will let you know how things turn out

3 ( Hutchinson 3G ) Austria

3,5G <-- UMTS Full supported (activation, data, voice, SMS, MMS)
3G ( EDGE ) Full supported if no UMTS Network available
2G not supported cause 3 Austria does not provide GSM/GPRS Network

*Updated*

DesktopMan · 09:37 AM

Netcom: works out of the box (activation, data, voice and mms untested)

Telenor: missing APN in one of the entries in CarrierNetworkSettings.db3, add 'telenor' and it works (activation, data + voice, mms untested)

Onecall: data (turn on roaming) + voice (no activation or mms)

Myself, I have tested a simlock free German Pre on Tmobile, the Netherlands. That does not work out of the box. However,the Pre can be adapted as posted in the following thread

hi mate
just to clarify a point for future italian users.
take a look at this post of mine. or the whole thread if you prefer

I think we (early adopters) have the responsability to inform correctly, if someone else will go pre.

adp21 · 10/30/2009, 04:57 AM

I received my GSM Palm Pre from Berlin via DHL today here in Singapore. Paid 400 euros for it 8 days ago on Ebay Germany

I am on Starhub (3.5G). Data and voice works out of the box :-)

Took my Starhub sim from my BB Bold and put in the Pre. Automatically showed up at 3G. Logged onto the net and was able to surf at 3.5G speeds etc

Must say - its quite a good phone. Except for the keyboard. Or maybe I'm too used to the Bold's key board

Hey Bro,

I'm from Singapore too on Starhub...are you telling me the german pre works on our telco!!!! I'm freaking excited now!!!

If you dun mind can you tell me step by step in detail to acquiring one, activation and all, which website to buy from etc.

Thanks a million!!

looking forward to hearing from you

adp21 · 06:19 AM

yup works on starhub. not sure about singtel or M1

on starhub, i didnt have to do anything. just put my sim card and it automatically caught the 3g network

to buy one, go to ebay germany and search for palm pre handset. better if u have a friend who can speak german la. or else just use google translate

u must email them first to check if they will ship to singapore since many of them don't want to (don't know why)...

i can ask the guy i bought from if he has extra set and if he willing to send one more to singapore

u can sms me at <edit> i sms u back when he reply. in the meantime u check ebay.de

Managed to extract the .db3 file and changed the relevant settings (for the Aussies on here: Telstra - changed to telstra.internet and blank username and password), file uploaded back into phone, rebooted but 3G symbol is not coming up!

Any ideas?

palmdoc2005 · 10/30/2009, 08:21 AM

Did you copy it out to /usr/lib/luna/ as well as /var/luna/data/ ?

ozuzo · 10/30/2009, 08:29 AM

Mine (vodafone NL) did not show up tuntil I switched Wifi off.

happymore · 10/30/2009, 11:39 AM

My vodafone uk sim does't work on my germany pam pre,it can't connect to 3G. My sim is pay and you go,maybe it is the reason? I'll buy a pay monthly card,and then try again.

Hi, yes I did - I also confirmed that the changes I made to the table and the locations I sent them to by using 'CyberDuck' and all seems ok from a SQ edit persepective.

Not sure what is going on or what to do next!!!
