I am looking to buy the T-Mobile N5, and it just says it will notify me when available can i just buy the "Google Play" version, instead of having to wait for it to become available, or is the "Google Play" version the international variant?
Will i get T-Mobile LTE is the main question because the International Variant does not support LTE band 4 which is the band T-Mobile's uses.

I was watching some videos of the GN on youtube and saw that AT&T service was on one of them. I was wondering if I bought an unlocked version through eBay if it'd work on T-Mobile bands. Thanks in advance

According to this : http://goo.gl/8qoeo in UK you have 3G on 2100.... in USA you different operators that use different frequencies.
T-Mobile uses the same frequencies so your phone will work, on AT&T will still work but you will not have 3G but GPRS or EDGE. Check out on google the operators and their frequencies and compare them.
It will work on both AT&T and T-Mobile http://www.phonebuff.com/2011/11/uk-galaxy-nexus-work-t-mobile-att/

Guys I was wondering if the unlocked version of Nexus 5 will work with the Indian carries . Nexus 5 is much cheaper.
And what else I should take in consideration before asking relatives to buy it for me from play store?

Yes it will work in India, but on HSPA only, not on LTE. As far as I can tell the only band used right now in India is Band 40 which is not supported by either model.
Apparently Videocon will be launching Band 3 LTE during the next year. This would be compatible with the Europe/Asia version of the Nexus 5. If your relatives order it to North America though, you will get a different version that does not have Band 3 LTE.
Both versions will support all Europe/Asia HSPA bands though.

Thanks a lot for replying mate. Yes my relatives stay in North America and they will buying from there only via play store. LTE is not a big deal for me right now as even 3G is not very wide spread and 4G will surly take time in India. So what say I should ask them to buy it right? Also what else should I consider?
It'll be fine with HSPA+ which in itself is a rarity so LTE isn't much of a concern for a couple years atleast. There are reports that it might launch by mid November in Google Play Store India but if you're like me I'd say get it now.
Dear Nexus 5 Users,
I've been using HOX till this date and happy with it. My friends are coming from USA to Netherlands in another 4 weeks, so I've planned to upgrade my HOX to N5, when I've checked the price in Google play store USA, I saw it for just $400 for 32 gb model. It says the product is Unlocked, but when i was checking the sites for any compatibility issues when used in Europe (Netherlands), there has not been a clear answers given.
So, I'm sorry If my question sounded Dumb...kindly answer my question...
Will LTE work in Europe..??
I believe the google play store sells the unlocked model of nexus 5...also i believe it does support GSM Triband and I'm 95% confident that N5 bought in google play USA will work in Netherlands...but i believe N5 XDA users can confirm it...

i guess he will bring the D820 (North America model): GSM and 3G will work in Europe normally but not LTE(4G) because most of 4G operators in Europe use Band 3 (1800 MHZ) or 7 (2600 MHZ) or 20 (800 MHZ) and D820 does not support these bands as LTE (any way check on what band your operator provide the LTE) see here for band list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks
if he can find the D821 version, then you will be able to use 4G in Europe for sure.
see here difference between D820 and D821 regarding 4G file:///C:/Users/Samer/Desktop/Differences%20between%20the%20two%20Nexus%205%20models,%20D820%20and%20D821.htm

I just received a Korean version model LG-F510S I purchased on eBay and it receives full 4G LTE using my AT&T SIM card.
Does it have all the att LTE bands or just one?
Getting a little bit impatient here with att, even the s6 is out. Wondering how the LTE coverage with the Korean unlocked model is with att, since its missing some bands. Any experience?
I am getting Band 17 on AT&T in my area with my unlocked Korean version.
I looked up the f510s and it says lte band 1, 3, 5, 7, 8.
Would u mind sharing the link for the one that u purchased?

I purchased mine on eBay.
Mind to share the eBay link or seller info? Just want to make sure its the right version that gets at LTE. Thanks.
I'm asking this because I'm thinking of the upcoming Moto X Pure which will support "all" North American LTE bands, making it a universal carrier phone. If I could buy any unlocked North American Note 5 and bring it to Verizon, that would get around the locked bootloader on the Verizon version of the device. Has anyone checked what LTE bands the NA N5 supports yet?
doubt it

No they are not universal. Different carriers use different frequencies. Sounds like the Moto plans are being capable of all those frequencies.
