2) If it needs unlocking, can you please specify the way to unlock it.
3) Also, what are the drawbacks if i unlock it?

If you're from Europe, you will not have 4g. On the other side, everything works like a charm. I have a nexus 5 from US and i'm from Romania.
Yes ... only LTE / 4G ... Europe basebands does not included on D820

Phone is unlocked but you will need the rest of the world model versus the USA model.
Bootloader is locked we have entire threads dedicated to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507905

I qouted you
Nearly correct. D820 is North America D821 is rest of world.
Only difference is LTE bands so should be good up to DC-HSPA

Because the D850 is a different model number with a different modem.

Thanks Hyelton,
What do they use the D850 outside the United States.
D850 has many users around the world.
Lg update publishes on its website to other models.
I'm using it now D850PR V20A software.

The D850 is an AT&T US carrier model. It's only sold in the US. If you buy it outside the US it's most likely refurbished. It's not sold officially outside the US

I understand.
Very Thanks.
I bought a Nexus D821 and now I can't get LTE in the USA. Is there a way to flash the radio to think it's a D820 and make the LTE work? Thanks everyone.
Thanks for the move.

Hello,
I have imported nexus 5 from USA to INDIA but i can't connect to 4G network.
Should i change LTE bands or what should i do?
please help me!!
You probably bought the D820. You wanted the D821. The difference is the radio and the LTE bands they receive. It's a hardware difference so you can't change that.

4G (LTE) works good on D820 here in India. Just follow the above thread.
