Will there be such a thing as Harrier Support Forum here. In Canada Telus and various others are now selling this device on CDMA network, not perfect but nonetheless it is here. Officially known as Audiovox 6600 here in Canada. http://www.telusmobility.com/ab/pcs/handset_audiovox_ppc6600.shtml
Thanks
The harrier is a blueangel and thus we have a forum for it.
But is Blue Angel not a GSM device and the other a CDMA device. So none of the upgrades we talk about would actually work?
The radio is different, the Ce rom could be different, i dont know.
The issue is the forum, this is what you asked about.
do a search for harrier in the BA section, check wiki we have the roms and a ext rom unlocktool which works for that device.
will do thanks a lot.
Hello,
Anybody can help me please? I bought Verizon Audiovox 6600 from the us and I can not use because it is locked. Please jelp me to unlock the phone,Thank you[/i]
Ive heard there are issues with the Audivox unlocking. I would apreciate some help with that as well. I am getting one from a friend soon. Hes coming to England.
The 6600 is a CDMA phone. I take it your home country has CDMA as oppossed to GSM? Sorry for the basic question but there is no use unlocking it unless you have access to CDMA. The 6600 is not GSM capable.
New Zealand has CDMA, the UK does not.
From what I heard you are able to use the phone for voice only, but not data because the US does data in a different way than Asian CDMA operators. I could be wrong though regarding how the 6600 does data
Hi
does anybody know anything about tsim slot inside a cdma based blue angel (PPC 6600)?
thing is i wanted to buy an audiovox ppc6600 here in US and use it in india with Tata Indicom (CDMA carrier). A cust. care rep in india said that they have the same phone (blue angel) there sold as Tata Indicom Konquer and it is tsim compatible.
Now if Konquer is tsim compatible, then audiovox ppc6600 should also have the same compatibility, since they both are essentially made by HTC. But i do not not for sure if this is the case.
Has anybody done this sort of thing before (switching carriers with 6600)?
Or does anybody know anything about it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks
Somewhere in the many of threads I read, someone quoted Olipro stating that the the CDMA phones had the capability to do UMTS in the other bands, but lacked the appropriate antennas.
Now is there any budding RF engineers here who can compare and contrast the antennas is a Sprint/Verizon phone with a Tilt2?
Perhaps a small hardware solution could unlock the full potential of the CDMA phones?
Please share you thoughts, conspiracy theories.
Hi
Im looking for a TP2, I will use it outside USA mainly, is there any differences in the phone model between what is offered by the carries (I mean the case, the colors, the device modules as gps, radio or whatever, the keyboard)
As i have noticed that the T-Mobile unit is another color from the at&t and have differences in the keyboard, are there any recommendations on what to look for on this phone?
It seems that the only current options are T-Mob and At&t as they are GSM (it seems that t-mob dont have the chrome bezel or 3g support, and at&t has those but dont have camera)
There are some minor differences between the two , there was alink that gave a great deal of info on both phones that is better then this one below

thank you very much for the links
I see that the cdma phones (verizon, sprint) have a gsm sim port, is that true? can a TP2 cdma phone (when unlocked) be used with any sim on a gsm network? (mostly because im not very fond on the t-mob version)

No CDMA and sim are two different things
The Major Carrier Technologies
By now, you’ve probably heard all of the acronyms in the alphabet soup of carrier technologies. The two major terms that pertain to cellular phone communication that you’re likely to run into are GSM and CDMA, the two major technologies service providers use to carry voice signals across the network. But what are they and why do they matter? Well, for starters, let’s define the terms.
GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications). GSM is the “branded” term referring to a particular use of TDMA (Time-Division Multiple Access) technology. GSM is the dominant technology used around the globe and is available in more than 100 countries. It is the standard for communication for most of Asia and Europe. GSM operates on four separate frequencies: You’ll find the 900MHz and 1,800MHz bands in Europe and Asia and the 850MHz and 1,900MHz (sometimes referred to as 1.9GHz) bands in North America and Latin America. GSM allows for eight simultaneous calls on the same radio frequency and uses “narrowband” TDMA, the technology that enables digital transmissions between a mobile phone and a base station. With TDMA the frequency band is divided into multiple channels which are then stacked together into a single stream, hence the term narrowband. This technology allows several callers to share the same channel at the same time.
CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access). CDMA takes an entirely different approach from GSM/TDMA. CDMA spreads data out over the channel after the channel is digitized. Multiple calls can then be overlaid on top of one another across the entire channel, with each assigned its own “sequence code” to keep the signal distinct. CDMA offers more efficient use of an analog transmission because it allows greater frequency reuse, as well as increasing battery life, improving the rate of dropped calls, and offering far greater security than GSM/TDMA. For this reason CDMA has strong support from experts who favor widespread development of CDMA networks across the globe. Currently, you will find CDMA mostly in the United States, Canada, and North and South Korea. (As an interesting aside, CDMA was actually invented for the military during World War II for field communications.)
Domestic Travel
The cellular showdown: CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) vs. GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications).
Because you can find GSM and CDMA in use all across the United States, it might seem at first that it really doesn’t matter which technology you choose. This is not so. When you travel abroad, the likelihood that you will reach areas that do not have digital service is quite high. Anytime you travel between offices via car, train, or bus you will pass through rural and suburban areas that only offer analog access. Most CDMA cell phones include analog capability (also known as roaming), so a user can make calls when he is not in a digital cellular service area. GSM phones usually don’t offer this capability unless you purchase and use a specialty (read: expensive) handset. Of course in most of Asia and in Europe, this is not a problem because digital service is available almost everywhere you turn. This does become an issue for users in North America, however, because digital service is rarely available there.
Another difference between GSM and CDMA is in the data transfer methods. GSM’s high-speed wireless data technology, GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), usually offers a slower data bandwidth for wireless data connection than CDMA’s high-speed technology (1xRTT, short for single carrier radio transmission technology), which has the capability of providing ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network)-like speeds of as much as 144Kbps (kilobits per second). However, 1xRTT requires a dedicated connection to the network for use, whereas GPRS sends in packets, which means that data calls made on a GSM handset don’t block out voice calls like they do on CDMA phones.
If you care about 3G go for Tilt2, if not go for unbranded!
I think is the best design/look of all of them

Guys! go and vote please!
Rhodium needs you
yes, thank you very much for the detailed answers
But the Cdma version of the phones (TP2) claim to be "world phones", as in the sprint phone (cdma) in the feature list they mention that they support GSM when traveling outside of the US and that you can put a GSM sim
Sprint TP2 features:
Cellular_Networks: CDMA800, CDMA1900
Cellular+Data:Links: cdmaOne, CDMA2000 1xRTT, CDMA2000 1xEV-DO
Secondary-Cellularhone
Dual:Cellular+Network;Operation: Selectable cellular module
Secondary_Cellular_Networks: GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, UMTS900, UMTS2100
Secondary;Cellular Data:Links: CSD, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA, HSUPA

I would prefer the unbranded phone but only the external case design (at least for me) don't justifies the 600 to 700 bucks price tag, sprint ot tmob can be find for 360
I think I will go with a Sprint or Verizon model, even when they are CDMA they seem be dual cell (cdam and gsm) and they will work just fine on any GSM network
