Hi all! I really want to buy the Xperia Z1 but I'm an american and I might have to import it. I keep on looking at a site called Negri. I want to buy it unlocked but it has to work on tmobile's HSPA+42 network. I hear there are different models but I don't see model listing numbers on any sites for preorder. My phone currently is a lg G2x. I've tried many custom roms but its on its last legs.
I keep on looking at sony.com and sony mobile.com but I don't even see it for preorder (usa sites). Is the Negri the international version?
If anyone knows anything please give me a hand. Also is the bootloader locked?

I've been looking at Negri's site also for the Z1. According to the spec description, all the necessary bands are there for it to work on T-Mo. I say you contact Negri customer service to confirm that or just wait till the phone is released on T-Mo. With T-Mo carrying the Z, I wouldn't count them out on carrying the Z1. Just for your reference, my international HOX is getting the 3G sign on T-Mo instead of the H.
Order from clove.co.uk or handtec.co.uk
they are better than negrielectronics, plus usually negri kinda lags on their shipping dates because they get their devices from wholesalers or dealers w/e.
order from the above sites, its about 20 dollars cheaper, and you get a FREE SMART WATCH ($250)!!!!
plus they will get the device starting on the 16th, so it will ship 16-20, with 1-3 day shipping to the US.
The devices sold by these two companies are C6903 which have all the freq/bands for t-mobile. So it should work unless something horrible goes wrong when we get them (doesnt work lol).

Hi all,
I just recently switched to T-Mobile from Sprint, so please excuse my ignorance.
I'm looking to pre-order the phone from one of 2 UK sites; www.clove.co.uk and/or www.unlocked-mobiles.com.
Does the phone need to be unlocked for use of T-Mobile?
Are phones from UK auto unlocked or do I need to check with these 2 companies?

Thanks for the source for ordering the Z1 in Europe. These are really great deals, Negri is pretty much $50 more (that's what it looks like when I run the conversion on XE.com) and there's no smart watch offer. Hopefully I'll be able to save up enough before these deals are gone.

The phones on the sites above should be unlocked. You should probably pick between clove and handtec that were recommended, unlock-mobiles offers the phone around the same price, but doesn't have the offer for free Sony Smart Watch 2. Clove and handtec will be the better deal.

I've put the product in the basket and almost went through the ordering process just so I could see the actual USD total in Paypal. The cost is running close to $78X.XX which is quite high, but do remember, they're throwing in the smartwatch 2 which is worth at least $250. Just want to make sure you don't get shocked by the bill. Paypal may or may not be using the currency rate from XE.com or other currency sites.
I ordered mine from HandTec UK and it is 1-3 day FedEx shipping to the US. The cool thing is that it also comes with a free Smartwatch 2! I checked with T-Mobile and the unlocked Xperia Z1 should support all the bands for HSPA and 4G LTE.

Just wondering if people considering buying from never-msrp or those that have bought from them realize they do not offer any warranty on their devices? Literally zilch and not even the manufacturers warranty is apparently honored?
Further, contacted them 6 days ago with couple of questions and no response. Sent a follow up couple of days ago and still no response.
So apart from price wondering if I am missing something here..... They dont honor manufacturers warranty, they dont offer any warranty (unless you buy extra from 3rd party) and they apparently can't be bothered to even reply so they can take my money...Wondering what they would be like then if something goes wrong :laugh:
Is there anyone else people recommend with similar pricing but honors warranty and has good customer service?
I am after the 64gb dual sim SM-N950F/DS and they are selling it for $820 delivered.
Manufacturers typically don't give warranty for grey market devices. Or more accurately, they will only honor the warranty in the market the device was made for, so if you buy a Korean phone, Samsung USA won't honor the warranty but you can still get warranty on it if you send it back to Korea.

Right. Except I read never-msrp will not do that and will have nothing further to do with the process once you have bought it unlike some other sellers that will deal with Samsung in their region to honor warranty for you and ship replacement back to you and so on. Never-msrp hasn't even bothered to respond yet...
In one case, if true, the customer had a Sony phone and Sony USA wouldnt honor the warranty and Sony HK upon being presented the device and ebay/paypal purchase receipt wouldnt honor the warranty either claiming that it was sold overseas and warranty is no longer valid (of course that isn't Samsung so not sure what Samsung might pull especially since you wouldn't have any support from never-msrp or their original purchase receipt...)
Warranty is a concern when you are spending near $1000 or more...
OP, you don't want to buy from that seller anyway. That variant has the OEM unlock time released cancer.

What do you mean by OEM unlock time released cancer? Don't they all take 7 days past activation and usage for the OEM UNLOCK to show up?
Then who apart from Clove is good? Still clarifying with qd_us if theirs shows OEM UNLOCK or not (last response was their's are Taiwan SM-N950F/DS, region free and no one has reported any issues yet).
And one thing I do not get is why don't people flash the XSG firmware on to their SM-N950F/DS (or for that matter the EU firmware or something else)? XSG apparently is confirmed to work and shows OEM UNLOCK and allows Samsung Pay functionality.
i almost bought from that seller but i decided not to because i don't want to deal with nonnsense regarding bootloadder unlock.
I went with the n950n korean version from wondamobile for just 35 dollars more than never-msrp

it's actually 928 and change, also they only have gold.
I don't know where they get it, or if the bootloader unlock issue is present in their f\ds versions.
So far everyone who bought a korean version has absolutely no problems with unlocking bootloaders.

Factor in the DHL shipping and it works out to $950. This is one big mess. Korean version no issues, EU version no issues if activated in EU first and 5 min call is made, HK/CN version apparently might work, UAE version apparently ok, the U version apparently locked down junk, the SG/TW sourced versions may or may not work (at least TW from never-msrp may not work)....

..... The (N) model is best for AT&T (since N has 1900 frequency) , however not so much for T-Mobile since TM uses 1700, which the N models doesn't have.

I've purchased a Galaxy Tab Pro and a S from them before. Devices were both brand new and had no issues so I'm not certain as of the warranty service. But I do believe they offer a limited 30 day warranty or something if the product malfunctions. Like the posters above said, the manufacturer warranty is usually covered by the country the product is shipped from. They sell mostly international variants so it makes sense.

I bought a Note 8 from Never MSRP. So far it seems to be good but I was little worried since the "security seal" on the box is the old white style found on S4 or S5 plus the Ink quality on the security label looked pretty shabby. The colour of the black fades. When I turned the phone on it loaded right away to a loaded phone screen which might also indicate that it wasn't factory sealed. Normally you would have to go through all the initial settings like language and what not first, am I right here ?
So other then that, it does seem like its a legit note 8 as far as performance goes. I am slightly worried that its a really really good fake but everything works so far and I'm using a T mobile sim.
It is a mystery to me as to how this unscrupulous ebay seller never msrp has a 99% favorable rating. I purchased a galaxy s8 plus, and when it arrived I noticed the ebay listing stated there was an adapter included. This aroused my suspicion that this was an international version, with no manufacturer's warranty. Amazon sellers clearly indicate when items are international version/no u.s. warranty. Not sure why ebay does not demand this kind of transparency. I returned the phone in an unopened box, and in addition to shelling out $10 in return shipping fees, I had to wait 8 days for a refund. Stay far away from this seller, awful experience
I got mine from amazon for 700ish from my company. It comes with no warranty either but I'm not worried about it. I'd go for the pixel 2 xl instead of the note 8. It's def not worth 850 of your hard earned money. If it was 600ish sure.
Bought the Samsung SM-N950U for $649.99 at Amazon today. 300 bucks combined savings, incl. $100 amazon prime membership.
The note 8 from never MSRP is going for 539.99. I bought an S8+ from them a year ago and tempted to get the note. Is it silly to upgrade from s8+ knowing the 2 phones are almost similar?

Tough decisions:laugh:, always too many choices, they also ran promotion for LG V35 ThinQ $599.99, but I realized they slipped some amazon software into that phone and I really wanted that stylus.
As per title, where is the new Note 8 Unlocked UK update? I'm still on August security patch when UK carrier specific networks started to get December update on the 10th December. It's now the end of 17th December... Have we been forgotten about do you think? lol... My S8+ was great running Oreo Beta 2 so this Note 8 seems a bit backward...
Reason I ask is because I am hoping this update fixes an issue I am having with notifications not coming through most of the time, I've checked and altered any battery optimisation and special access optimizations for certain apps but still no success so hoping the update triggers something to get this working like it should.
I have an unlocked still on august patch as well, my other one I got through Vodafone Ireland already got November patch and updates, wonder if they are leaving us waiting for Oreo on the international unlocked versions

This Is most definitely the case
This is annoying me big time, pretty piss poor by Samsung
I was just seeing if it was me that hadn't got the update. I'm still on August.
Meanwhile, the Note 5 is getting the December update...
Don't blame Samsung for that, but the UK operators -> THEY have to approve the FW first before it's rolling out to the devices!
The december update is available but still "on hold" for UK-devices (BTU & XEU)
BTU/XEU : 1AQI1 (August)
O2U : 1AQK9 (November)
EVR : 1AQK9 (November)
VOD : 1AQK9 (November)
H3G : 1AQK9 (November)
But: instead of complaining here, why not flash the latest FW yourself (2BQKG) with Odin?
BTU/XEU are the codes for the direct from Samsung models. They are operator free. So there is no approval from the operators needed. I personally think someone at Samsung just forgets to hit a publish button as they don't get an approval they don't need.
By any standard August is the only BTU available, and that's poor for a flagship with a company that promised monthly security updates.
Yeah still no update on the 23rd DEC, I did see EE UK only just got it on the 19th and that probably makes up the last in the UK to get it now... Flashing via Odin means fresh install dosnt it? I guess even if an OTA update dosnt resolve my notification issues, a fresh install probably would be the best bet anyway.
Wouldn't flashing my non-carrier device with a carrier specific 2BQKG firmware potentially riddle my device with carrier bloat? Better off waiting if thats the case! Anything new in 2BQKG over 1AQK9?
Just updated to 2BQKG via Odin without losing anything, wish I did this sooner!
I'm in UK on ee and the update came out today ota 46.87mb
Hi
I ve bought a Note 8 device unlocked as the seller said and when i got home i noticed that is blocked. When i check what provider is on i found BTU. So if can someone please help me what network provider i should contact?
Thanks a lot for your help and support
BTU is a generic code so it's not carrier assigned.
You need to contact the seller and get your money back as it will be impossible to find out why it was blocked in the first place.
P.S. If you're ever buying a second hand phone ask the seller for the IMEI before you part with any cash and check it online to see if it's blocked first. If the seller won't give you the IMEI then just walk away.

Or better still write down the IMEI number put your sim card in the phone and call your provider to have the device added to your account .
How many providers does your region have? Call all of them.

However the chances are you are using an unlocked UK/Ireland model which may have been bought from a retailer or Samsung direct and then insured via a third party insurer. The third party insurer would then request an IMEI block if the device was reported lost or stolen.
Sadly there is very little you can do as the device will likely be blocked from all networks in your country of residence, however there is a chance it could work outside of your country as other countries / carriers will have not blocked the IMEI.
Meaning you may be able to sell it on with the proviso / understanding the device is blocked in the UK or whatever country your currently residing.
How did you buy the device ? If you paid via PayPal or with a CC - you may be able to get a chargeback with your CC company if you report it as a fraudulent transaction (sold a dud device).
Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk
I bought it on Shpock from a private seller. Now i found that the T mobile blocked the IMEI because it was a illegally purchase and the seller knew it this. I paid by cash unfortunately. The device was blocked by t mobile since December 2017. And i bought it few days ago.
you obviously bought a stolen phone, lesson learnt for you, buy cheap... buy twice....HA... HAAA..
that said, you could probably recover a few quid from selling it on a Russian buy/sell website

So it was UK purchased. Looks like the networks share IMEI information. just sell it to the USA or mainland Europe, noting it's black listed in the UK. You should he able to get at least 60% of your money back. That is if it's really black listed and nothing else wrong with it .

Its this time of the year guys! This thread is to discuss pre-orders across all stores and providers in Canada. To compare notes and ask ROBELUS related questions. I personally pulled the trigger for an unlocked (no subsidy) phone through best buy, delivery scheduled for the 16th and then I went back in an through Telus the pick up is on the 9th for some reason so I pulled the trigger on both. What did you order from where? What did you select? Pick up or delivery? Please share.
I'm waiting for benchmarks between sd845 and exynos, in order to decide on which one to pick. I'm probably going exynos route again, shame we Canadians get slammed with the Americans, even if we don't use CDMA networks anymore.

I thought Best Buy did not do this anymore.
I thought you need to buy a carrier subsidized device ?
I am not going to the S9 anyway, I just do not want another device where I will need to wait for at least a year after Android P is released to get it, also I do not want Samsung Bloat you know like Bixby.
...but I am curious will check the Best Buy website, sure enough for only $1100, plus tax and shipping I can get an unlocked device sent to my home. Thanks for pointing this out.

64GB so far. No mention of the 128gb variant. Maybe sometime in the future. Pre-order gets you the 150$ bill credit. I know it does for Robelus not sure about Freedom tho.
Hey guys. Thread moved to https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9-plus/how-to/canadian-s9-thread-waiting-t3756539
Anyone else get an email saying order was delayed and given a $50 credit for future purchases? Wtf? USA....mystic black...AT&T
would help if you list your model and variant and what country.
I know off topic, but I will never buy an AT&T version of any phone again. They remove crap. On my sisters Note 20 Ultra, they removed the option to sync up with her new Tab S7.
I got an email saying it would be delayed for more than 30 days yet it shipped the same day
