On T-Mobile US and want the Nokia Lumia 1020? Rogers is your solution

Of all the questions we go regarding the 41 MP Lumia 1020 for those in u.s.a., the 'when can I get it on my carrier?' ane ranks as the about frequent. While the rest of the globe has been getting the massive camera telephone on various networks internally, in the United states information technology is simply AT&T who can fly the flag for the 1020.

Unfortunately, we have heard zilch hints or rumors that this will modify in the well-nigh future, making this more akin to the Lumia 920 than the Lumia 925 in the US.

Not all is lost though. Rogers launched the Lumia 1020 4 days ago up in Canada, finally bringing that device up north (Telus is as well selling it). Rogers often gets so-called pentaband Lumias, meaning they support more frequencies than the traditional iv-band ones found on other carriers. From our forums, we can now ostend that the Rogers Lumia 1020 is pentaband enabled, meaning it supports the following frequencies:

GSM/Edge Bands: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
HSPA+/HSPA Bands: 850/900/1700/1900/2100 MHz
LTE Bands: 1700/2100 MHz (Ring 4)

That means if you tin go your hands on one and SIM unlock it, it will piece of work just beautifully on T-Mobile U.s.'due south network—both for full 3g and fifty-fifty LTE. We're not talking their re-farmed 3G areas but full on T-Mobile network back up. Yous won't be able to get Wi-Fi calling because ultimately that is a firmware configuration, only the Lumia 1020 should function just fine otherwise. (It'due south also been confirmed to work on Mobilicity)

That'southward the good news, the bad news of course is y'all'll have to purchase the Rogers Lumia 1020 out-correct for a straight $600 Tin. Nosotros're likewise non too certain how easy it is to buy from Rogers when in the Us and not on a contract. In that sense, eBay may provide your best options should y'all get down this route.

Should you bite or await? As we said to a higher place, we have heard zilch news, rumors or even grumblings of T-Mobile officially getting this device here in u.s.. If you really want the Lumia 1020 and yous have the cash to spare, and so going the Rogers road is a sure burn mode to get the all-time experience.
