Like many people I really want an HTC Touch Pro aka Raphael. I have a Korean foreign exchange student living with me that can get a HTC Touch Pro from Korea. I know that the phone has multiple versions. Can I use the Korean phone with AT&T?
Will it work out of the box or will I have to do something to it?
It will work fine for EDGE and voice, not 3G. I'm stuck with edge now for the first time (I'm currently in VT for a few days)... Honestly, not as bad as I thought.
Great info Black.... Can you try YouTube streaming and let us know how the performance is on EDGE? Wondering if it streams or just degrades the quality like the iPhone when streaming video. Thanks.
I am going to Seoul, South Korea in 2 weeks and may have the opportunity to get the Raphael while I am there. Do you know what the prices are in Korea?
phones are generally more expensive in korea then here in US
Hi everyone. As the heading states, I am planning to buy the GTab 7 Plus in India for my dad. Now, here is my concern:
In India, the same tab is marketed as the Samsung Galaxy Tab 620. It still has the 1.2 GHz Exynos Processor, 1024X600 resolution screen & includes Voice calling features. I have searched all over the net & couldn't find if there are any differences compared to the GTab 7 Plus which is available internationally. So, in this case, is it only the change in name for marketing purposes or is there some other variation also? Basically, I want to understand if I can use all the ROMs available here on XDA with the tab available in India?
If anyone has any info on this I would really appreciate it. Thanks in Advance!

But I thought the tab was for your dad? Kidding...
Take a look in the development subforum just to be sure but as far as I know there are no custom ROMs for the Plus yet.
Hi im from Philippines. My advice is do not buy Galaxy Tab 7 plus... why? Because Gtab 7 plus is not super amoled. You just wait for Gtab 7.7 that is a amoled LCD...

I already bought GTab 7 plus for my mom. I pissed off when i read about the specs and it is not amoled LCD.

Yes, I am fully aware that it is not super amoled. The point is that my dad is getting a limited time offer from his workplace for a 60% discount on any phone purchase. But since he already has a phone which he is content with, he wanted a tablet to use as an ereader. This is the only well speced tab which has phone calling capabilites & is available for purchase here at the moment.
Anyways, I have gone ahead with the purchase & dad is happy with the device. Thanks for all your inputs.
Guys, I don't know about price for Tab 7.7 in your country, but in Russia I got my Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus for $468 and price for 7.7 starting at $780. So I don't want pay twice more for super amoled screen and 0.2ghz difference
I am also looking to buy a galaxy tab 7 plus and am undecided which version to buy. I live in the united states and I could just get the p6210 wifi only version, but I am not sure if I will need 3g. I don't want to buy the wifi only then find myself often wanting to use the wireless features when I have no wifi. From my understanding i can use the GPS no matter which version I have so that's at least a plus no matter which way I go.
If I end up buying a 3g version which would people recommend the international unlocked one, the t-mobile un-subsidised, or the t-mobile contracted one.
For people who live in the US and actually got the international one, which cell phone company are you using with it and are you able to get a cellphone plan and use it as a huge cellphone.
People with the t-mobile version have you been able to unlock the subsidised version and/or use the unlocked version as a cellphone? Either with a t-mobile prepaid plan or another company that uses the same frequency.
From what I have read it seems like the international one would have to be used with at&t and t-mobile version is only usable with t-mobile in the US atleast.
In Thailand has 2 version
P6200 (for 3G 900MHz)
P6200L (for 3G 850MHz)

I have the 6210, I'm fine with wifi only because 1) I'm not paying for yet another data plan, and 2) tethering your phone to the tab works great, assuming you have a smartphone.

You should buy GT-7 plus, Super amoled is not very importand for your Dad.

I second that. In addition, the extra screen resolution and slight bump in processor speed are not worth the extra money IMO. Good Luck with your purchase!
I think you should go on and get it. Sure, it lacks Super amoled screen, but I find that people that randomly see my tablet have no problem with my screen.
In fact they say the screen is pretty awesome. In fact, the only real people who seem to notice the screen are fellow tech people.
Hello everyone,
I am planning on buying this tablet, and because you cant buy it in my country (when it will launch in my country, it will cost almost 1.5 times more expensive), so I want to buy it in the USA.
I understood there's the N8010 which is the international WiFi version, and the N8013, which is the USA WiFi variant. Obviously, the tablet I will buy in the USA will be the USA variant, the N8013.
My main concerns are:
1. Using it in Israel. I don't know what the differences are between the two, I just hope there won't be any problem to use it in Israel.
2. Flashing N8010 firmware on the N8013. The note 10.1 will eventually launch in Israel (we know that for sure and it will be soon), and the tablet that will be released will most likely be the N8010. I want to know if it would be possible to flash the Israeli-tablet-firmware (N8010 firmware) on the N8013.
I have 2 more questions:
3. Is the touch screen responsive enough to use with your fingers (rather than with the pen)?
4. Can you somehow run THD games on the tablet?
I can answer one of your questions.
Yes, the touchscreen is responsive enough and you can use only your fingers without any problems.
Regarding THD games, I doubt you will be able to run them on the Note 10.1 since it does not have a Tegra chip in it. Perhaps the games can be ported but I have no idea if it's even possible.
Bought a OPU in the UK, where I currently live, but I might be moving the US within the next year for my job. Are the UK and US versions of the phone the same (e.g., LTE radios)? Or are the 4g/lte or other hardware different and/or incompatible? I tried looking up to find out if the OPO has a world phone vs a us phone like the Nexus 5 but couldn't find any info.
If you buy it directly from OnePlus it's the same phone anywhere in the world unless you but it in mainland China, then it's the Chinese version.

Hello everyone...
I am transitioning away from iOS thanks to the Z Fold 2 after 13 years (on iOS since the 3GS) and one of the biggest concerns I have right now is whether the US version of the phone is compatible with NFC-F (FeliCa).
I have family in Japan and having used Suica alongside my phone and Apple Watch made all the difference in the world while there...
My question: I remember reading somewhere that the hardware on the Z Fold 2 is exactly the same everywhere... Considering there is no chance on Earth a manufacturer would release a flagship in Japan without FeliCa, my hope is that the US version will also be compatible with it.
Where can I find the list of specific SKUs (assuming Samsung has something similar to Apple)?
Thank you!
Samsung differentiates their products by market. Typically features are common within individual market groups (EG: Europe, Asia, U.S.). This year the radios are different in each phone with 5G bands varying by country. Instead of SKU's Samsung alters the model numbers. So there's no assurance that phones from one region will support all the radio bands and features from another region. Here's the Fold 2 page from the Samsung Japan site. There's probably a chat or phone number to call and they'd be able to answer your question.
