Hi all,
I am looking to find out what the difference is between the EU and UK version of the note, with there being no stock of the grey note in the UK what effect would buying the EU version off Expansys. Are the difference noticeable, and is it likely that apps that are meant for the UK will not work? BBC I player, sky go(if its ever released) etc.
I have read that you can change the CSC to make it think it is a UK version, how easy is this to do nd does it void the warrenty having to flash a new rom onto it to change the CSC?
I have been putting off buying g the note to try get the grey one but starting to worry if its not released soon something new will be released and I'll just want to wait to get that so I'm now considering getting the white one. Not that I need to hear the pros and cons f white over grey, I've read the other posts
So buy EU version, by white UK version or continue waiting?
Thanks,
Steven

Can't help with changing it but I got fed up and bought the white, glad I did as it's my first tablet and cleaning the screen has become a OCD experiencet for me! Thankfully finger marks don't show up as easily on the white bezel. A nice cheap case but great quality (Poetic from Amazon £7.95) has made it a real joy to use.
If it helps, although I have a UK Note 10.1, earlier thus year I bought the EU note 5.3 from expansys. There is no difference in functionality of the device in the UK. Able to access all apps as usual from the market. With regard to updates, you get them when they are being rolled out in the country of the device's origin...that is unless you change the csc. On device set up, you may find initially that setup instructions are in the language of the device's country of origin. When phone is setup though, language automatically changes to English. I would expect no difference with an EU Note 10.1.

I recently saw a good deal on the NS locally and snapped one up as soon as I could, my understanding it that i was lucky to get an AMOLED version, and I'm really happy with it, i have been trying to identify my model and i cant seem to find out for sure.
According to the wiki all european models are "GT-I9023" but it also states that these models all have S-LCD displays, which cant be right?
Here is a link to what I have read: -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Google_Nexus_S
It would make sense for my model to be the I9020T but my phone was purchased sim free and therefore has nothing to do with T-mobile.
Thanks guys!

If you look under your battery, the information you require will be there in black & white UK AMOLED version is GT-I9020/GSM (I9020T!)
Says its a I9020, must mean its a I9020T right?
I had to use a magnifying glass to read it :S

Correct! UK version! GT-I9020/I9020T, the same!
It also tells you in the little safety booklet supplied. I bought one last week

Am living in Cyprus (Europe)

2. What to choose standard English rom or multi rom
3. When do we expect black colour?
4.what shipping method to choose?

Hi,
1) Sites that are trusted are http://www.xiaomishop.com/ and http://www.ibuygou.com/
To name a few. I would recommend xiaomishop because you can choose to ship from Europe so you avoid customs, taxes etc
2) The phone will ship with normal MIUI which has Chinese or English language . If you want more languages see the multi rom version here http://xiaomi.eu/community/
3) Black was released in China only on the 28th of October. There is no date for international availability
4) For shipping, I would recommend http://www.xiaomishop.com/
Because they have a warehouse in Europe, make sure to choose that option to make thigns easier :good:
Hope I helped.
Regards
Thank you..
So there is no black version for other countries??
Also do you know vickomall. Com? It looks to have the best prices,

No black version in other countries, not yet.
Vickmall prices are the same as xiaomishop, 389 dollars. With Vickmall they are located in China so you will have to deal with customs and taxes whereas xiaomishop has a warehouse in europe so it will be easier for you :good:
But they want 35 euros for delivery, and that is ridiculous...
since today, the black version is available on xiaomi's shop. Just ordered mine.
I've ordered both my Mi3 and Mi4 from xiaomiworld

Is it still worth buying? I don't really care a lot about LTE. I was wondering if is still a good choice Mi4 64GB and how much should i pay for a second-hand ? 300€?
Yes it is worth byuing, i'm going to update my white to black version when i see good price. Don't care 4G either, all frequencies are not supported here so i'm not gonna pay extra for it.
I like especially display and camera, also speaker phone works very well compared to other phones i've had. MIUI v6 is still work in progress, but xiaomi.eu developer versions have been good enough for daily use, not major problems so far.

absolutely! Been using it for a few weeks now and can't spot any disadvantage. Only the battery seems a bit weak, but up to now, i always got past one day without the need of recharging.

new mi4 user
thanks for the advice, one thing to ask if there is some thread that have all the information on mi4 on this forum that i can read about?
I didnt see this color in the chinese stores (only gold and white silver), so maybe this one is the International version? Some stores in Switzerland has stock now.
https://www.toppreise.ch/prod_408204.html
I have a gold 64GB with the latest 5.1.1 got and extra update already, and I don't see any difference to be honest. I used the EU variant for the mate 7, and in the max I only had to install Google play from their own store, the rest works normally as on my mate 7
Its more about the bands. If its International than it supports more brands.
Anyone know where I could pick up the Titanium gray version? Ive ordered it several times off ebay, and Amazon, they all came from China, and each one was the Mystic Champagne color.
Same here, orderd SIlver got a crappy Champange and now i just orderd full Gold cause i dont think there is a Silver version sold somehwere cause there always the Champange Version Pictures
Jup same here on Ebay. The Champange is ugly white and silver. The gold one is better color but more for ladies I think im going to try it here: http://www.swissandroidshop.ch/de/S...-3GB-RAM--13MP-Kamera--4360mAh-Akku--196.html
But it cost much more than on chinese stores.

Yea, I did the same thing. I hope I like the gold, if not I guess ill just return it and give up on ever owning the Titanium grey color.

Agreed. It is a ladies color. Well, please let me know if that site works out for you. If its a winner, id be to return my gold one and pay the extra bucks to get the color I want.
Did yours automatically update to 5.1 or did it arrive with 5.1?

Did someone allready got a Silver one?
I'm looking forward on buying the Silver (Titanium Gray) one as hell too, unfortunately only a couple of swiss(!) e-shops sell them very very expensive... Wtf is going on, i don't really get it... Huawei screwed it up really bad with those color variations. I hate gold as i hate that ugly champaign silver (i dont see any silver on that anyway). I would appreciate any help from you guys as i want to join ya asap!

they did not screw it actually, in fact the phone sells well in china, the problem is that the market in Europe for extra large screen phones is close to 0% compared to all other phones, and that's the sad sad true. Maybe one day Europe will understand and embrace the big screen phones, and maybe ... just maybe one day we will have a decent market so that China extends its selling points to Europe as well for those amazing phones ... i got mine from china anyways xD (bug gold, anyways i wanted to try gold once in my life)
Eh, colors have nothing to do with the market share really, also ebay does the job for me pretty well. An all black handset would be the ideal one for my taste but the grey one would be ok too, unfortunately the gold or the champaign are a deal breaker for me. What i was wondering also is if the device supports mhl/tv out, doesn't it?
A black color would be great, just like the P8, but i think that's not going to happen It also suck that they promise to release the P8 Max to many europe countries and now they cancel it and only release it in China en Thailand.
About the Titanium Gray color. Not many swiss shops ships to Europe. There is one but very expensive. So i think i'll wait with buying. I found out what the EAN/barcode colors are:
6901443071128 = Gold
6901443073450 = Champaign White
6901443083497 = Titanium Gray

So are these international or for china?
Hi guys, short story, ordered a Mate 9 from a seller on ebay who guarantee me that I was getting the international version and got the Chinese version instead.
Haven't set it up yet but I'm not sure if I should return it or keep it and work things around (find a way to install Google Apps).
Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk
Return it, the Chinese one is easier to get a hold of and why bother with the hassle of dealing with the Rom differences.
I intend to buy the blue version :good::victory:. And I know I am not alone... Since it is the best color, almost everyone will buy it.
The problem is, I dont want to buy the Phone on day one ..because I first want to wait for reviews\tests\comparisons , AND want to see on this forum if its bootloader will be unlockable, and also for other reasons.
But then I risk that the Blue version will be sold out.
This is my first OP device, so I am asking people with OP experience:
how long does it take for them to bring the sold out color back? Or is it possible that the color option will be gone forever???
I Live in Germany (if this is important)..
I think it largely depends on if the blue is a limited edition or anything like that. If its just one of the regular colors it should be back in stock eventually even if it sells out at first. If it's a special edition like the thunder purple then I wouldn't expect it to be back in stock any time soon.
That Blue is awesome and my first choice!

yes, that's exactly the problem
Is it true that the top model (12/256) is only in blue available? I would prefer a black version.
My understanding is that this weekend (USA) the blue and the Grey will be available. I'm torn between the Blue and the Almond (which isn't coming out until June).
I think the blue will sell out but I also think it will NOT be a special edition.
Anyone know if limited edition colors will be available later?

I saw a rumor that they would introduce a Red model at some point. Don't know how accurate it that rumor is or what country but it would make sense.

My McLaren eventually ended up in a case so the color is not relevant for me. I will get the biggest RAM and storage available regardless of color...
