As of now developers can get a fully SIM-unlocked T-Mobile G1 with unlocked bootloader that allows flashing of custom Android builds (no need of signed system images anymore). Called the Android Dev Phone 1, the special device will be available to all developers registered at the Android Market from 18 international markets including US, UK, Germany, Japan, India, Canada, France, Taiwan, Spain, Australia, Singapore, Switzerland, Netherlands, Austria, Sweden, Finland, Poland, and Hungary (with more to come soon).

The Android Dev Phone 1 is the next step by Google of making the Android OS as open source as possible. The device currently costs 399 US dollars with free shipping within US. The only prerequisite to buy one is to have a developer's registration over at the Android Market, which will set you back a one-time registration fee of 25 US dollars.
For now there is a limit of only 1 phone per developer and as Google point out the "Android Dev Phone 1 devices are not intended for non-developer end users. Since the devices can be configured with system software not provided by or supported by Google or any other company, end users operate these devices at their own risk."
Yeah right! Sounds scary, doesn't it?
heya drfu. nice to see a paki here again, from karachi too, my home town
as for the device, there is a 25$ Developer fee too
More info is in the Htc Dream's (aka G1) forum here at xda

Hi all, looking to get a Galaxy S, saw this post. Should I wait and see whether they arrive here?
"Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and US Cellular all decided to give their respective versions of the Galaxy S fancy trademarks, but not lil' Cellular South: the regional is just sticking with Sammy's original name for a change of pace. This would also seem to be the closest North American Galaxy S to its European cousin, featuring the standard industrial design and what appears to be a fairly stock TouchWiz load (if you can really call TouchWiz "stock") atop Android 2.1. Oh, there is one nice bonus, though: this version's got an LED flash for the 5 megapixel camera, a feature many variants left out. It includes a 16GB microSD card pre-installed to complement the 2GB of internal storage, and it's available right now for $199.99 on contract after a $50 rebate. Follow the break for the full press release."

Verizon's Galaxys S model also comes with with flash so will only be availble on their network, but afaik verizon don't offer a mobile network in the UK??? Best bet is buy an unlocked version on ebay. Also a big thing with the Verizon model is that Microsoft must have paid them some big bugs as the default search widget uses Bing
Also if you look at the image below of verizon "Samsung Continuum a Galaxy S phone" notice the ticker display the only and first phone to ever offer such

There are currently two retailers online for pre-ordering the Nexus 7
There are two parts to this guide.
PART 1 : Ordering
PHYSICALLY
-Gamestop
Check if your country has a Gamestop outlet and you could pre-order from there (Correct me if I am wrong)
ONLINE
-Play Store(For 8GB and 16GB models) (VPN/Proxy NEEDED)
Currently you can only get this from the U.S.A. but by using a vpn to access the play store on your computer you can see the page for ordering the Nexus 7. Google how to use vpns.
-Gamestop Online Store (For 16GB Model ONLY)
You can order the Nexus 7 16 GB only from here but the website works in most countries. Here is the link to order the Nexus 7: LINK
-JR.com (16 GB Model)
There is a Promotion which allows you to get the tablet for 234 USD only, for the 16 GB model. Thanks to the forum post here and the OP
Part 2: Shipping
To ship the Nexus 7 from the U.S.A you can use any shipping forwarder, for example Vpost, Comgateway, or Borderlinx.
Vpost is mostly in Asia.
Comgateway ships to many countries and so does Borderlinx.
Borderlinx is the best forwarder IMO but requires you to have a citibank card. If anyone has other forwarder recommendations please post below
After making an account on either site, you will get a US address which you would need to put for the address that Gamestop or the Play Store will be shipping to. Comgateway/Vpost/Borderlinx will then from that address ship it to you wherever you are.
I hope you found this tutorial helpful
There is already a sticky covering different places to buy the Nexus 7 from, continue all further discussion there.

Hi,
I'm going to get a Note 5 SM-N920C.
I'm planning to use it in Germany, because the C variant covers all LTE-frequencies for T-Mobile Germany.
But I'm wondering, which of the many country variants of the firmwares available for the N920C is the best to use in terms of:
- integration of german language
- no preinstalled bloatware/carrier or country specific apps
- and last but not least: which is the most current one that matches my two criterias above.
Thanks
Are you going to root?
Sent from my SM-N920I using Tapatalk
No, I want to use it stock
I purchased one for myself at Doha airport, and been using it with the shipped firmware (OJ5) without any problems in Norway for like 3 weeks now. No carrier junks or anything...This is the first device in long long time, I am actually considering to use without root (i normally root the first day)!
Which country variant is your firmware?
UAE
and what csc version is it? xsg?
I have the UAE variant too and I'm in the United States. I tried a lot of firmwares from the sammobile and what happens is that the rom number will change but the baseband stays the same. However, if you go to the service menu(*#*#2263#*#*), you can choose the bands that are available on the phone.

Thank you for your advice, so your xsg Firmware is without Carrier- and/Or bloatware?
Yup! This was not bound to any carrier, and i was surprised how much bloatware samsung has reduced compared to Note 4.
Ok, thank you. So I'm going to Flash the XSG version if it's not already preinstalled. Note 5 should arrive by the end of the week.
I find it disturbing that new Android enthusiasts are being detoured away from Android because of some projects that are in my opinion predatory.
This is what's happening,
New enthusist decides to upgrade to a phone that he or she sees on a online store or shop. He or she watches videos and reads about all of the mods and Roms and intricacies of Android and decides to buy a phone or dissect with their old phone.
The person that sold the phone sells many phones at at lower market price and advertises it as unlocked or for a certain carrier, and the purchaser doesn't realize that the phone has been modified with a partition that is not easily reformated.
The merchant loads his custom keys and server tracing software on the new users phone unbenownce to the purchaser. Sometimes the purchaser can think they have reset the phone and actually haven't.
The new enthusiast is now a part of the merchants not net, if the new enthusiast doesn't manage to wipe the phone correctly. Most often the merchant uses a server location in a liberal part of a swing state, mining keys and encryptions that are most often used for Bitcoin bot mining or stock market swing modeling.
This is a frustration to say the least to the new enthusiast and definitely are "life drain". It decently doesn't foster manufacturers of phones to open their devices up to open source projects.
In my opinion do this, "Pull" the predatory system load it on a emulator and have it scan low frequency stations and have it constantly publish the netstat to a public folder preferably overseas.
Nice try Apple. Still not buying an iphone.

Something will not compute. That's an old one.
