Subject: [aklug] ACS phones on the AT&T network
I have a chance to acquire a new HTC Desire for way below retail (it was=20
won in a contest, person doesn't want it). But it's keyed to ACS.  If I=20
was to get it unlocked, would it work on the AT&T network? Or would I=20
be completely stuck?  3G data would be nice, I suppose, but all I=20
really need is voice, SMS, and of course the built-in wifi.
Anyone have any comments?
