Although this is phone does indeed come unlocked (It works with any sim card you insert) It is not the international version as described. It is in fact the South-East Asian version of the cell phone which means the following:
- In the phone’s settings the user’s ‘locale’ can only be set to two values: Vietnam (English) and Malaysia (English)
- The phone does not have the android market application pre-installed. In stead there is a clone market place installed called ’slide’ but this one only has a very few applications compared to the market. This also means that there is no means of updating the existing (google) applications whenever new versions are released.
Even though I haven’t tried this myself yet but apparently there is a way for a user with a bit of technical knowledge to install the true international firmware on the phone. So consider yourself warned: if you want to full HTC Tattoo experience, you’ll need to do some hacking.

this phone didn’t come with Android Market installed by default, and the only locales available are Vietnam and Malaysia, this sucks as you can’t choose your correct locale, not to talk about other languages: it’s NOT an international version. HTC has poor support and I’ve had this phone for days without being able to download apps from Android market. Amazon should protect its customers and ask the seller to change the description on the product.
