Omnia i8000 UK release date?

I've just read according to newswire the Samsung Omnia 2 (i8000) expansion will include China, Australia, Netherlands, Turkey and the UAE and will be available in these countries and more in August.
I've been following details on this phone since May as I want it as my next phone. My contract is now up, but still no mention of a UK release date and my patience is wearing thin.
I don't want to get into a discussion about operating systems...I like WinMo end of story. All I want to know is when this phone is due out in the UK...if ever!!
Anyone know the full list of countries (apparently there are 20) that the Omnia 2 (i8000) will be released in this month?
Thanks for your time people. Hope someone knows something.

It's very pricey and it's coming from italy. I was wondering if there would be any problems with the device coming from italy and all? also is it legit? I cant read italian lol

Hong Kong HTC Devices - Buyer Beware

We all know that the Sensation has suffered from its fair share of bugs and glitches (every new device does) but what I didn't know prior to buying this phone is that models sold in HK (Unbranded or Branded) are not supported in the same manner as the rest of the world. I hope this post can prevent someone else form making the same mistake as me.
After reading forums and talking to people, it became clear that devices in HK were either missing software updates entirely, or getting them months later than the rest of Asia (or the world for that matter).
I contacted HTC about this and spoke with Mike at the HK Customer Service center. He confirmed that HTC Hong Kong has a different policy regarding updates and has no plans to EVER release small incremental updates. He even referred to previous handsets (HTC Desire HD models in HK didn't receive the updates that the rest of the world did) saying that the only time exceptions have been made to this policy is when a major OS update 2.1->2.2 has been issued. Apparently unlike other regions, it is standard policy not to release small updates in Hong Kong. He also doubted that the bootloader update (expected in August) would be available for Hong Kong branded phones stating the models sold in HK are treated separately from other global models. Although I tried to get him to give me an explanation for this bizarre policy, the only answer I could get is that most HK customers are happy with the current release.
As it stands now, HK Sensations are stuck on software version number 1.28.708.2 and HTC HK is categorically stating that they will remain here indefinitely.
Lesson learned for me is to never buy an HTC device in HK ever again.
Does anyone know if there is a way to flash a standard Asia rom (region 707) to a HK phone (region 708)?

i have 1.28.720.2...i thought mine was sourced from HK...have any idea what the 720 region is?

I bought mine in HK, it came with the Asian rom on it
I would expect come the unlock you can then put what ever you like on it but not until then.
and no idea where 720 is, hopefully someone else can tell you.

I spoke with HTC UK about my Sensation (bought on EBay) and it seems that 720 is India!

D821 Nexus 5 model in Japan?

Hey guys, does anyone know if the D821 Nexus 5 model, i.e. the one being sold in Europe and other parts of the world, will work in Japan with at least some notable carriers? I'm planning a exchange year in Japan and don't really want to buy a new smartphone for one year, that won't work at home here in Germany then.
Any ideas on that? Here they say it should work, but I'm still unsure.
Thanks a lot

[Q] Is there any difference between the Chinese one of OPO and the international one?

I want to buy the OPO but my throwback is the country I live in, Bangladesh. As you know, 16 countries are officially available to the supply of OPO and Bangladesh is not listed on it. Surprisingly one of the dealers in Bangladesh is selling OPO at a rate of $488.75 (US Dollar) for the Chinese Version.
So my query is that is there any difference between the Chinese version and the international version or are they both identical. And why is the Chinese version so widely available where as the International version is as bad as extinct?
Anyone Help? Thanks in advance xD

Thanks. Could you tell me if I'm going to be able to use LTE and 3g in USA or in countries in Europe? I'm a student and I'm going to change countries for better education in a year. So I need to know if LTE and 3G will work properly on major carriers in USA or in countries in Europe. Thanks for your help earlier though, really appreciate the time you taken to do the researches for my help. Thanks.
