HSPA, HSDPA, HSUPA (and the + variant) work on 3G bands. (Even though some networks brand HSDPA+ it as 4G).
LTE works on separate 4G bands.

Cheers. So does T-Mobile operate 3G bands which the Xperia V supports? Or asked the other way round: will the V at least pick up a 3G signal with HDSPA+ speed on T-Mobile USA?

T-Mobile runs 3G on 1700MHz and 1900MHz.

But The V runs 3G on 850, 900 and 2100MHz.

So it doesn't look like it will operate on T-Mobiles US network - correct me if I'm wrong.

i saw an australian site selling it quite cheap. I suppose their frequencies don't match the Greek ones. Do they?? |

I've had the V for two days and the screen has a very strange yellowish tone, the whites are slightly yellow. The sensor in lens doesn't make any huge difference and viewing angles are poor. Another failed screen by Sony.
Otherwise it's an excellent phone. Sound quality through headphones is awesome. Great battery life and great design. Sony makes the coolest designs by far.

I've achieved in excess of 20MB+ on HSDPA which is nothing to complain about really (Xperia T).

Got my xv yup the yellowish hue is present but unlike my xs which has the worse yellowish tint I do hope this is just a glue issue on the screen and hope it disapears after 3 weeks  |

I doubt that it will disappear, let alone after 3 weeks. I have had my S since May of last year, and the yellow tint/gradient is still present after all this time.
If you're not happy, maybe you should request a replacement.

So to sum up, Xperia V doesn't work on T-Mobile USA at all, or just no 3G or 4G(HSPA+), but on 2G?
btw, what battery does it use? the same as Xperia LT29i (TX, GX), the BA900? or something different, I can't get a definite answer search through the web.
T-mobile USA network.
Xperia x10i unlocked + 32GB / Xperia Neo
Xperia TX LT29i
Xperia Z C6606
Xperia L C2104
Xperia M Dual C2004
Currently using Xperia Z1s C6916 (T-Mobile USA)
