I'm looking at http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/phones/xperia-z1/specifications/#tabs LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 17, 20), http://www.gsmarc.com/sony/xperia-z1/reviews/ and http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-5627.
It seems unlocked Z1 shouldn't have problem supporting T-Mobile LTE in USA. Is that correct or is there still a chance that somehow unlocked (international) Z1 won't support LTE on T-Mobile?
I showed a T-Mobile rep the list of bands and frequencies, they said it shouldn't have any problem connecting to their LTE. That's obviously not a direct conformation that it will, but they said they would do everything they can if there is a problem. I do know a rep will say almost anything to get you on their side of the force but she was looking at bands with me on her computer and getting other people over as well. Only time will tell. Mine ships out the 16th from the UK to the States.
It will most likely work.
Also they are expecting it next week any day.

I think you don't even have to wait for the north american variant but can go straight for the C6903 when it's available.

Where did u buy from?
I'm looking at Negri Electronics but wanted to know if there is better deal out there
I grabbed mine from unlocked-mobiles.
They start shipping out the 16th which is, I believe, 4 days before Negri. I got the UPS 2-3 day shipping. When I priced out Negri it was a total of $38 less which wasn't enough for me to cancel my order that is already processing.
they expect a shipment any day next week.

Look at clove.co.uk They're offering the Smartwatch 2 with purchase and it's less $. I had original pre-ordered with Negri when they advertised the phone at $729.50. As I watched the price continue going up I started looking elsewhere and ended up at Clove.
I wish I read few more posts before buying I bought it on Negri, oh well I'm getting new phone

Got mines from HandTec UK for the same reasons you've stated. I'm now trying to decide whether or not to use or sell the Smartwatch 2.
I got mine from unlocked-mobiles.com and it ships tomorrow. When the Smartwatch 2 is released on the 30th that gets shipped for free and in phases over £100 free content. I'm in America.
GSM NATION got the Z1 in stock
This site in US got the phone in stock already too
gsmnation.com/sony-mobile-xperia-z1-c6903-unlocked.html
I got mine at clove also.

this phonedog's youtube unboxing show the z1 picked up T-mobile 4G LTE in Dallas Texas.
For anyone who cares the Nexus 5 is officially out in Hong Kong. Its being sold by LG, rather than Google. Price is around HK$3,800 - 3,900 depending on where you buy it. Big name retailers such as Broadway are selling it. Only the 16GB model is presently available.

Why is it HK always gets the low storage. First note 3, now this! Infuriating!!
Nice! I'm in Hong Kong right now, considering this (my Google Play order wont ship until November 8). Do you know if the International version will work on US networks and LTE bands, specifically T-Mobile?

no. LTE wont work in North Americia. But 3G will work of course.
Damn. I had a feeling LTE wouldn't but was holding out hope. Oh well, guess I'll have to play the patience game some more..
Hond Kong LTE use band 3, and the US version of Nexus does not support that.
But does anyone know on the UMTS 2100, is HSPA supported by the NEXUS 5?
wonder when nexus 5 32 gb will release in hong kong.. right now for that price its still a steal!
heard from wilson guy that around nov 20 there will be google play order available in hk, with price around HKD3200..
dont yell at me how ridiculous this may be.. im just repeating their words..
is this really possible (that google play order is coming to hk)?

HK Google Play store would be a very welcome development.
I think I am probably going to wait it out for around a month or two and hopefully the N5 price is drop a bit or at least a 32GB model will make its way to HK, otherwise seems the Oz store has the best value at the moment.
Fortress
Dear All,
I was at Fortress MK (MK New Century Mall) and they are selling it for $3,880.00. The guy says ONLY 16GB and I asked about 32GB and he said no. I don't believe him since he had to check 5 minutes to give me a price on the N5. Late Nov. HK PlayStore have it? I highly doubt it. I'm waiting till close to Christmas to buy it as the price will go down and retailers will have discounts.
if u go to "smaller" shops in mongkok/wanchai etc. the price is now in the range of 3700+..
Make sure..

Yes, parallel import will be cheaper in price but watch for what you get. Remember, US version (D820) won't work in HK for LTE. We have (D821) which is international version to work for Asia. I would stay with Fortress, Broadway etc. to be safe.

As long as the smaller shop confirms its HK stock and you can get local warranty through LG I don't see an issue buying through them.
Remember the D821 is also being sold in Australia where the price is actually quite comparable to the North American prices. But you won't get local LG warranty if you get that.
Was at Broadway Shatin on Friday, asked if 32gb was available, sales said usually Hong Kong only get one version.
Agreed that it is expensive to buy from them, if really available through Play Store at end of November then Ill be one of the first to buy from there!
Was just in WCC.
Asked two shops for price, one said HK$4.2k the other said HK$3.9k!!!!! Local stock.
Wasn't going to buy and was in a bit of a hurry so didn't ask around too many places or try and negotiate for price.

Hi.

(source)
Telcos:
Vodafone Plans: link (Cheapest is $30+30 = $300 calls/text, 300MB, (currently includes free headphones))
Optus Plans: link (Cheapest is $35+27 = 300mins, 500MB)

Samsung Online: $949
Aussie model is the Snapdragon 805 (source).
$949 its very expensive than note 3. I remember i bought note 3 for $740
Sent from my SM-N9005
No, it's cheaper than the RRP of the Note 3 which was $999AUD. That means stores could potentially sell it even less at launch than what we paid for the Note 3 if you look around and find the best deal. And no offence but I doubt you got the Note 3 on launch for $740 without a trade-in or staff discount at a store, maybe a month later when the price dropped perhaps.
guys you were right, Australian site is selling it for $969.99 and has in stock while samsung is planning to release in Australia on 17th October.

Not anymore, the latest big little set up from Samsung now supports lte cat-4 and yes it will support all AUS lte frequencies.
EDIT: So what will everybody choose, Snapdragon is the default Aussie device and supports the upcoming cat6 4G?
On the other hand it is speculated that the Octa version may be able to utilize 64bit processing which may be usefull for Android L.
4G. (LTE Cat.4 150/50Mbps) Octa or 4G (LTE Cat.6 300/50Mbps) Quad Core.
My contact says Intellichoice will stock for RRP of $999.00
but also said will go on sale on the 22nd...

thanks for providing such useful information, i am shocked if 64 bit is coming in note 4 then it would be increasing speed than snapdragon one and its going to be a big deal
note: Price drop on provided link now its $929 lol if price drop remains in the current ratio i bet, note 4 would be around $650 in near future lol just kidding
Samsung have pulled a UK on us.
Note 4 Delayed.

which version you got? I have heard exynos is 64bit chip, is it true?
Sent from my SM-N9005
No its the 910G as are all australian releases
Got mine on release (via Optus - too poor to pay for one outright).
No complaints with it. Just hanging out for Lollipop though (or CM12, whichever comes first).
Ive got exynos model not 64bit enabled yet but can/will be soon hopefully

Hello guys can some one please tell me how many variants are available for nexus 6. I read somewhere that Motorola launched 2 variants one for USA and eat for international market.
I live in Pakistan and I am interested in buying nexus 6 but can't decide if u should buy it from UK or USA

the difference is the LTE bands, pakistan does not have any 4g (last time i checked), it has recently (last 5-8 years) got 3g so i think both should be ok
i am from the uk and when i go pakistan (sargodha and lahore) all of my uk phones work there, nokia, iphone, nexus 4 so it is up to you which you buy
We have 4g in Pakistan.

Which network? Also find out which LTE band they run on and check the Europe and USA product page on the google play store of the nexus 6. It has the LTE band numbers listed there.

I want to buy a galaxy note 5 from Amazon while I'm in America and use it in a different country where I live.
The device I am considering is the sm-n920a. I've checked the cellular bands and they Mach.
I'm have a few questions since it is not the international version or the sm-n920c that is sold in my country.
1. I heard people saying that it won't fully support my language since it is an att phone. It seemed odd to me because I thought that if the international version supports the language any module should.
2. Will there be a problem with OTA updates?
3. At the price point of 360$, is the note 5 really the best phone to buy?
Thanks

I have an unlocked AT&T Note 5 and an international one, both work perfectly even though I live outside America. And about updates I am not sure but you can always search for custom roms with the latest features for the device on the forum. And overall the n5 is a great phone in my opinion, has everything you need in a phone and more.
