I'm from Bahrain (somewhere in middle east).
I'm a qwerty fan and the droid 3 is the only phone that will suite me.
MyTouch 4G Slide was an option but I don't think I'll get 3G to work here since it doesn't like non-1700 bands.
Is it safe to buy an unlocked version of the droid from ebay? I found some on ebay with bad and good ESNs. but I don't wanna throw $400+ on a dummy unit that I cant use.
The unlocked OEM version is still on pre-order over http://negrielectronics.com and I don't know if the Canadian version is safe to buy.
Will there ever be a Motorola Milestone 3 version anytime soon?
Find a new one on Ebay US, make sure you get the seller to get you an international unlock code and there you have it
Could just buy it from Mobicity like I did?
The normal droid 3 IS available at negri electronics. Some users have reported it working fine in the UK, germany.
We are currently trying to find out whether the XT860 canadian would be the better choise, as it might have better GSM features/performance,

I bought new xt862 and unlock code from the eBay seller.
But the unlock code was not working..
So I purchased same xt862 and this is working well.
Is it better to buy unlocked phone than buy them separately.

There is a Milestone 3, it's already available here in Brazil.
Its quite risky buying a droid 3 from ebay.
The issue is that many sellers are claiming the units they are selling are unlocked while they are only providing an unlock code that may not work, then comes the issue of activation.
I contacted Negri support and they said that they don't have a date for unlocked xt860 availability.

I got my new Samsung Galaxy S2 white for £280 on eBay. Good Deal I guess...
How about Verizon?
Hey guys - sorry to revive an old thread (not sure if protocol is to start a new thread or what?).
Does anyone have tips on finding used Verizon 4G phones? My lady friend wants to get a 4G phone but not lose her unlimited data plan so we're looking at the used market.
I've seen Gazelle on eBay, they have a few phones. Just looking for other sites for comparisons sake.
Thanks for helping out a forum n00b!

HAAAAAAX!!!
I am in the UK and am considering getting a dual sim (the L29 variant) of the Huawei P20 Pro.
Do you know of any store that sells the dual sim version (sim-free, unlocked), and that would ship to the UK? A reputable foreign store that would ship to the UK would be OK, too (but if from outside the EU, I must make sure that VAT and custom duties don't end up costing too much).
The only UK online store I have found is www.clove.co.uk , which is out of stock at the moment.
I understand Three UK sells the dual sim, but the Three signal is too unreliable where I live.
EE, Vodafone and Carphone Warehouse don’t sell the dual sim (I asked their chat tech support).
I have found some supposedly UK-based vendors in the UK, that sell at £690 vs Clove’s £790. It seems like a good price, but maybe too good to be true? I’d think a reputable store would give me more peace of mind.
Amazon UK lists two external vendors which sell at the same price as clove, but some user reviews mention the box was opened and the phone covered in fingerprints (used phone? Customs inspection? A return?).
Thanks!
I bought mine from Amazon France. Got fed up of looking for it in the UK
Wondamobile. Com
Thank you, guys.
@qwerty1q, have you tried wondamobile? Does the price really include VAT and custom fees, as they say? You don't think buying from a UK store like clove is worth the extra £100 or so?
@dreamWille, do you remember if you bought it directly from Amazon France or from a third-party vendor listed there? Searching Amazon France now, I get a vendor that has an address listed in Spain.
Thank you, guys.

Bought my Mate 8 from them 2-3 years ago, no problems.

I always buy directly from Amazon because of warranty purposes.
Check all the Amazon sites (Germany, Spain's, France etc)
One of them should have it in stock
Currently have a note 8 duos, have someone willing to trade for a p20 pro single sim. Worth the trade? Honest opinions?
Model CLT-L04, what is the difference in models?

Don't hijack other people's discussions. Asking a question by opening a separate thread would be better. Also bear in mind you're more likely to hear pro-Huawei opinions on Huawei forums, and pro-Samsung opinion on Samsung forums, because, clearly, each forum will be more populated by people who have chosen that brand

Common sense, as well as explicit rules in most forums, suggest it is frowned upon to hijack discussions and bring them off topic. If this is not true of XDA, I apologise because I didn't know. I still dare question, however, what the benefit is of reading a discussion about where to buy an item to then find messages about how that item compares with another one.
Think you'd be lucky from a contract perspective.
SIM free maybe.
Try uSwitch they've got some nuts deals.
Or just buy my Oneplus 5 off me
Hi,
I can't seem to find if there's different models for US and international like it was usual before.
I travel a lot and I'm considering to upgrade from my 2 XL.
It's much cheaper in the US, besides things like warranty, so it's not uninteresting knowing if they now are able to support all bands
Hello everyone,
I was considering to buy the Axon M because I like foldable phones (the samsung fold is way too expensive so I chose this one) and I'd like to have one for watching Youtube, browsing the internet and some gaming. I have found sites offering this phone for 300€ (I'm not sure if that's a good deal, but I can't find it for a cheaper price) saying it's from Europe. The problem is: I've heard there has never been an european version.
Does anyone know if it works in Europe even if it might be from somewhere else? And where is the Android 8 update? I know it exists but no site has talked about it.
