Europe + Canada

[Rogier21]

Hello all,

I pre-ordered the HTC One in Netherlands and will get it when it comes. But I will move this summer to Canada and I want to make sure I can use all functions of the phone.

I was comparing the specs and it seems the Canadian (US?) version is different than the EU version, especially the LTE section:

HTC One Overzicht - HTC Smartphones

HSPA/WCDMA:

Europa/Azi?: 850/900/1900/2100 MHz

GSM/GPRS/EDGE:

850/900/1800/1900 MHz

LTE:

EU: 800/1800/2600 MHz
US (AT&T): 700/850/AWS/1900 MHz
US (TMO): 700/AWS MHz
US (Sprint): 1900 MHz
Azi?: 1800/2600 Mhz

En die van Amerika:

2G/2.5G - GSM/GPRS/EDGE:

850/900/1800/1900 MHz

AT&T: 850/1900/2100 MHz with HSDPA up to 21 Mbps
Sprint: 1900/2100 MHz with HSDPA up to 14.4 Mbps

3G - CDMA:

800/1900 MHz for Sprint

4G - LTE:

Asia: 1800/2600 MHz
T-Mobile (US)/ AT&T/ Canada/ Latin America: 700 MHz and AWS band
Sprint: 1900 MHz

It looks like that it won't be compatible, right?

Thanks if somebody can shine a light on this.

I asked the HTC helpdesk but they have no clue, they answered it's possible but depends on the network! Now I am even more confused...

Maybe I can better switch over to the S4 atleast the Canadian model is the same as the EU model.
