Any place other than the actual T-Mobile site to get my hands on their version of the M8 for windows?
Swappa, ebay, Amazon all just have the Verizon one.

Hey folks, does anybody here work for T-Mobile UK? Or if any of you have done this could you let me know?
Does anyone know if you can buy handsets directly from T-Mobile without the contact? For example, buy the non-subsidised phone outright as you would buying a sim-free model from online retailers at the usual £200-£500 cost?
Currently can't call them to ask, and wanted their version of the handset from rather than other retailers.
Enter to marketplace, perhaps you can find some
I am in the United States, where can I buy non branded T-mobile phone HTC Sensation Z710E at the best price?
Thanks!
Wait.. You want the T-Mobile Version of the Sensation without branding? Is that possible? (Without debranding..)
I want the non-tmobile version the international version to use on Tmobile USA
I know it can be done as im using one right now that i bought on craigslist but am looking for another one through ha online retailer or such.
i have an asian Z710E that i bought on ebay singapore for about $450 US.. you can also try the european version on ebay.uk
it was worth it to keep my $5 tzones plan
i guess i'll ebay uk but was wondering if there was any cheap sites in the U.S.
I would be interested to know what benefits will you get buying international version over the Tmous version?
I can use my t-zones plan on the international one.
Again this thread is for U.S. folks, need some insight where U.s. folks buy their internatioanl version phones.

nope, ive looked for months, unless you get real lucky, an international ebay site (ie uk or singapore) is your best bet since the only people in the USA who have an internation sensation are probably like me and you and specifically need that version and will not sell for cheap since they know the value of it.
Wouldn't debranding hypothetically work?

nope... t-zones compatibility is determined by your IMEI
So how do you know which one is the international version? I have an HTC sensation that bought from craigslist in new condition. It's rooted, flashed and now I got it unlocked However now I'm wondering what exactly I have and with which company I can use it with. I bought it to try it with T-mobile but I've been trying to figure out if I can use it with AT&T 3G or other companies since I travel a bit.
Mine does not have T-mobile written anywhere. The model is Z710e.
I have not activated it with T-mobile but I do have a sim card and its getting a signal.
I'm currently in Korea right now so if you're still interested, I can go to a phone shop and inquire how much it would cost. I can't guarantee that the phone will be unlocked and unbranded but it definitely will be an international phone... (Can't guarantee that it will work in the States. The guy says that it should but he's not sure.)

if it doesnt have any T-Mobile branding on it then it is not a US phone... there is also a Z710a model from Canada that wont work with US 3g/4G
Also, I use Straight Talk which is based off tracfone, I believe. It does run off AT&T towers. People were saying the 6603 was the best one to get for AT&T, but I don't see any in stock on Ebay. Are there other sites to buy it? Would the 6653 work ok on AT&T/Straight Talk?
Clove and handtec sell the 6603 model. I got one from Clove and it works well on at&t had no problems so far
Clove also, 6603
Hi, does any one knows if the retail price version of the google pixel that best buy are selling is unlocked? the price tag is 699$ can i purchase it and activate without verizon sim card? or would it be available in the 20th in walmart and target?
thanks
thanks.
Because it's listed as the Verizon version, I would bet that it will be the permanently locked bootloader version that Verizon is going to sell in their stores but I have not seen any official statement on that being true. I would theorize that if it does end up being sold at Target or Walmart, it will be Verizon version as well as neither store probably sells $650 unlocked, non-carrier branded phones. If it is the Verizon version, you'll also be stuck with waiting for Verizon to send out any sort of update that isn't a monthly security patch; this has been reported by a few different news outlets (including XDA I believe).
If it's listed at $699, that is $50 more than on the Google Store (store.google.com) and with the possibility of a perma-locked bootloader I'm not sure why you would want to buy it from BestBuy. If you are willing to pay full price for it, just buy it directly from Google. I'd stay away from any version that has the word Verizon anywhere near it.

I think a lot of people are looking for another source to get their Pixel from as Google appears to be out of stock on the most popular choices. I am personally doing the same thing until either I find a retailer with a Google version or Google has them back in stock.
That's incredibly disappointing. I'm surprised that Verizon would still have control over the OTA updates even if one was to use a Best Buy-bought Pixel for the sole purpose of having it on another carrier.
Google smartphone Storage US Price
Google Pixel 32GB $649
Google Pixel 128GB $749
Google Pixel XL 32GB $769
Google Pixel XL 128GB $869
Verizon will not delay updates. http://phandroid.com/2016/10/12/verizon-pixel-updates-simultaneously/
So if you don't care about rooting your phone then it makes sense to get one from best buy to use on Verizon because they offer the best deal. ($100 gift card and chromecast)
I'm glad I got a blue one from Verizon because Best Buy and Google have been sold out of that color ever since it launched.
Thanks for the response, I wanted to buy it from Google but the delivery time is 5-6 weeks and I'm only on the states for the next 3 weeks, as far as I know verizon version is unlocked which means that I can use it with any carrier I want.

Attempting to figure out what model the eBay unlocked gsm phones are.
If I do get a single sim gsm international will it work properly (every band) att uses that the us version has?
Looking into wife's Christmas present and unless the pixel 2 or htc u11 starts selling for <400 I'm probably going eBay route.
Nevermind. But the bullet and paid full price.
The specs are so close to the pixel2 that I can't imagine being disappointed.
