from telus site

Will run on 1900/850 MHz frequency bands and uses standard 3GPP SIM cards.

and btw don`t use the i-phone as a comparison its embarrassing. if you have a actually good phone that can run more than one app at once essentially what youll get it a computer like web experience on your phone aka donwload a pod cast or torrent while checking face book and having your twitter app getting you updates with no slow to your facebook experence. also like HSPA it says u can get up to 7.2mbps but yull never get near that maybe with this you mite actrualy get like 6 mbps

umm id love to but no becuase telus up here is knowen for its shitty network service and even shittyer custamer service

actrually engadget the t mobile and every other version of the magic besides the rogers one has 192mb of ram and the rogers one has 288mb

just to note the rogers htc magic is diffrent it has 288 megs of memory were the firmware flashed with tmobile and other carriers locks out some of the memory

wow is engadget slow to this one the first version of it will run on android.. hints why u can buy one before october 22nd
just goole it

download hd compared to blu-ray hd is a joke blu-ray hd look and sound alot better than any movie donwload or rental. plus blu-ray has bd live and bd-java and delected seenes pip branching kool menues and more its like a vhs vs a dvd (if u have the rite set up for 7.1 but more commonly 5.1 souround sound a 1080p tv and arnty sitting more than 8-10 feet away from it)

actually the quality is quite nice and these things avarage bit rates of 6-8 mb/s

ben did u know that the maximum bit rate for dvd is just under 10mbit/s encoded at mpeg is better then a avc endoed at 4 mbits/can be especialy with upconverter(but its nto as good as a 6 mbits avc video/ avc has just over twice as efficent compared to mpeg 2) and this is alll like the halo only runs at 640p nativly but is upconverted to 720p every one has to take a stand demand better quality becuase very few donwloaded movie have good pq quality-bit rate ration ( a 4 mbit avc 720p can look amazzing!!! but a 7 mbit one look that much better and u mite actrualy get hd audio)

YYO this isent a fire sale like toshiba had at walmart sony will make this player for 4 more years itll be one of the first to reach $50 becuase its dosent need a pip or 256mb of local storage every movie ever released will still work with this player even in 10 years the reason why this player
