Hi,
It will make a full year that I've been having fun with my first-generation
HipTop (well; obviously I'm currently not using the very first one I had...
I got to change it twice, which is half less than my previous T200 in half
the time :( ); and for a couple of months I started to be very fond of
buying an HT2.
Yes it's expensive, and yes it's about the same thing, but it's less huge
and more practicle (let's say, the engineers did their jobs better).

My concern is, should I buy one off ebay (T-Mobile branded), would it work
on Fido's network (not sim/GSM compatibility concern here); but will it work
on the exisiting HT1 infrasctructure (fidohiptop.ca infrastructure with
Danger's servers) ? Does it work exactly the same way, could I use my
existing Hiptop profile on it ?

I know that currently on HT1 Fido uses the OS 1.3; and that this might get
me into trouble with a HT2 since it uses a OS starting with 2; and since
they don't currently sell HT2; they might not carry the tolerance of OS2 on
their net, and they might ask for me "upgrading" to os1.3 (unless engineers
thought of that(can't upgrade to a lower version)). (Basically over here
what I meant is will the OS on it run seamlessly over the present OTA's
installation)

I believe that if Fido is to sell HT2 in the near-future (as of late jan or
feb) they _must_ be testing it right now (which would mean that HT2 would be
supported on the net with its os); They would not just sell it without
months of intense testing/debugging, unless Dangers guarantees them that
there so not enough changes from HT1'soft that there are no worries; right ?

Also, if anyone knows about Fido and HT2 in terms of date or anything, give
me a buzz; thos techs over phone support don't know/ want to share the info.
(My friend relatively "harrassed" them last week, he called 3 times begging
to buy an HT2, he got to talk to a "superior" who told him that they didn't
carry it/plan to/didn't know when, which might not be false at all actually,
but what do you know)

Anyways, thanks for any info;
