Nokia 2.2: Differences between TA- variants?

[madb1lly]

What are the differences between these TA- variants of the Nokia 2.2? Which region are they for?

Nokia 2.2 | TA-1184
Nokia 2.2 (EEC?) | TA-1188
Nokia 2.2 India | TA-1183
Nokia 2.2 single-SIM | TA-1191
Nokia 2.2 single-SIM | TA-1179

The EEC should be Eurasian Ecnomic Commission. So, Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia and more.. I'm not sure of countries part of EEC.
Single SIM variants often also go to LATM. So, most likely one of them is heading there.

GSMArena says TA-1184 is for the Nokia 4.2, but that's doubtful.

Hi @singhnsk,

That's useful to know. However the definition of EEC is not really what I want to know; what I would like to know is if that variant is definitely for the EEC market, is it for any other markets, and what specification differences there are. If a variant is for multiple markets then that's useful to know, but the specification differences are the most important. Personally I think this is the kind of information which potential customers might go looking for if they want to import a phone from another country and want to confirm the specs.

My most trusted reference for which TA- variant is for which phone model are the user guides, as the TA- variants are listed near the beginning (in the English International version, maybe not the others). Taiwanese, Chinese, etc manuals also list the variant numbers and maybe manuals in other languages do as well.

Unfortunately, places like GSMArena and other similar sites sometimes get things wrong. My preferred way to close this issue is to have a good reference for the source of the information, e.g. HMD documents on their website or scans etc from other websites. If we can't get those then other sources of information will be acceptable - for example, I think I found some of the codenames and TA- variants on Ebay listings and then verified them elsewhere! Sellers are more likely to get these details correct than the catch-all specification sites.

Cheers :)

PS - I intend to close these issues when we've got the correct information in the database, so when a pull request is accepted or I make a commit myself I will tag the issue in the commit message and it will be automatically closed, cool!
