O2 XDA Atom

I´m thinking of order this one.
Have som questions.
1. Is it the same menyes as in 9100?
2. Can I have all pocket pc programs in it as in 9100?
3. Is it possible to get T9 in swedish on numpad so I can write sms fast?
Any swedish people in here have this today, would like to ask some questions...?
Thx..

I don't think the Atom is released yet to the general public. I've read it should be available mid December...can't wait to hear how it performs.

FYI, atom is released in singapore today. I am expecting advertisements to be out in full force tomorrow. So much for the hyped-up limited sets released. Just in case anyone is interested, the price is SGD$1348 retail.

It is out in HK now and I saw Expansys has already posted it on the official website. But it sells RMB 6240, which is equivlent to USD 780 per unit. It is wayyyyyy expansive. Does anyone know where can I get it with much cheaper price? Chinese version will be a plus.

Actually, it is very easy to buy this phone in online market, 16G cost 1999 and 64G cost 2299 (both of them are in yuan)
There is a thread explaining the differences between international and Chinese one. Click here please.
According to my experience, there is no difference between international version and the Chinese one in hardware. The only difference is Chinese version's modem which locks some of brands and therefore, leads to some unusable network. However, it's very easy to revert to 100% stock cm11s including the modem. more information in here.
Sorry for my crappy English.

Yes. A noob from Chinese
Local shop will cost more money than online market so online is the best choice, my friend.
You can get this from Jingdong online market which is very similar to the Amazon. Website is http://item.jd.com/1142209.html .
You can also buy it from opo official website at 10 o'clock on Tuesday and Friday mooning but the number is limited.

Will US Carriers Supply the Honor 8?

I'm due for an upgrade.
Will US Carriers sell the Honor 8 or will it strictly be available through Hauwei's online suppliers?

No, they will not.
"Honor 8 is going up for pre-order tomorrow for $399 for the 32GB model and $449 for the 64GB model, and it will be available at Amazon, Best Buy, B&H Photo and HiHonor.com. This is an unlocked smartphone, and is not heading to any carriers, unfortunately. However, the Honor 8 will work on both AT&T and T-Mobile here in the US."

I can corroborate this. Honor is all about selling online, and so like the 5X, the 8 is available unlocked and not through carriers.

Like svetius stated, I guess it will be sold online (meaning it won't be sold through carriers, forever)

The preorder went live yesterday, with 50 dollar in credits. The 32gb (399) will become 349 and the 64gb (449) will be 399..not bad at all

Does it matter? The carriers only charge a middle man fee anyways.

It is better to have it unlocked rather than carrier-locked (you know: bloatware, slower updates...etc)

This phone is only being sold as unlocked (GSM only) through their website and some retailers such as Best Buy, Newegg, and others.

With a locked bootloader and no source code for the Kirin processor, there is a very good chance there won't be any extra (XDA) development for this phone.

Honor should deliver anything related to development (bootlaoder unlock, source code and even device tree if possible) to make things great

I'm going to wait and see what Huawei does with the bootloader unlock and doubt they would release source code, they haven't done so with the P9.

As with the what everyone has said it won't be through the carriers and I hate to say that will be a huge problem for their us release. Less then 3% of people in the US buy devices full retail. Mainly when you can get other flagship devices for nothing up front. I hope to see it as it this could be a great thing but I just don't think it will happen.

How to buy/import htc u11+ in U.S.A?

Hello everyone,
There's a lot of us in the U.S. that want to purchase the u11+, but there's no official way to do so.. does anyone know of a website where we could purchase and import one?
UPDATE: 11/24/2017
: thanks to @Sammae7 AND @jauhien for the mobile Wanda and Amazon link! Couldn't find this when i originally searched on Amazon..
AMAZON

Adding some more links from the past couple days. Looks like there is a new Amazon and Ebay listing.
Ebay!

Furthermore, to see if the device is compatible with your carrier, @santad040 has this nice link to a table showing carriers and bands. :victory::highfive:

Ebay is the obvious one, but can be sketchy.
Hopefully Wonda Mobile gets it. They have a lot of positive reviews.

I haven't yet but I frequent the Huawei Mate 10 board where quite a few people have used them. I'll probably be ordering a Mate 10 from them soon. They have fast shipping and pay import fees.

Would you mind making a little review here on xda? In this thread or another? I'd like to know your experience as someone in the U.S.

The price on Wanda Mobile says 619 GBP inclusive of tax (VAT). But if we are getting it shipped outside of UK, should the tax (20%) be deducted from the sale price? Thanks

You can buy it in china,hongkong or taiwan. the chinese model is 4999RMB（about 750USD）,the hongkong model is 5688HKD.I bought chinese version week ago.

UK version is available now with 10% rebate!
Just import that one.

Just buy it from Anazon:

Pre order links -EU

Launch day today - has anyone found the pre order link for UK / Europe?
Their customer service opens shortly so I'll enquire there too and post here if/when I find it...
Edit: can anyone find any other EU pre order links?

https://m.alza.co.uk/asus-zenfone-7-pro-black-d6122969.htm?o=1
They have the white one available too
These aren't a UK based company though so may hold off and await one

So I emailed asus about this:
"Hi there,
It has been stated that the zenfone 7 pro is due to launch in Europe today (01/09/2020).
Could you tell me where I can find a link to buy the phone in the UK?"
I got this in response:
"Dear {redacted},
Thank you for contacting ASUS Support and for your interest in our products.
Unfortunately, ASUS and ROG mobile handsets are currently no longer on sale in the UK.
For any further enquiry, please contact the UK PR team at: [email protected]
If you need any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. "
So I'm not sure what is going on...

Thanks for that.
I reckon I may order it from the Alza website, exciting times!
Just perhaps holding off just in case a better price/sooner available option becomes available... Though can't seem to find any at all!

I'm interested in this phone too and only link I have found is the Alza one. I'm tempted by it but currently on a OnePlus, I'm not sure how big the development community will be in comparison. I'd also like to see if anyone comes up with a decent GCam port first.
Keep us updated on whether you decide to order from Alza and your experience with that site.

will it come out from Wondamobile?

I'm in communications with Arnova8G2, a developer of Gcam and they said "I have the zenfone 6 and it is very good with gcam, zenfone 7 pro already works with gcam 7.3 and more" - so based of this response I'm definitely gonna pre order the Zenfone 7 Pro! I think gcam on it will make it the perfect phone!
As for development, I've reached out on zenfone 6 thread and HavocOS. Which is inspiring that there's some good roms available for that device at least. Though worst case scenario, I'd be happy with rooted stock and gravitybox - which is my current setup for Xperia 1 ii.
Alza says "expected 14th September" but that would also mean shipping from Prague to UK for me. Could be earlier therefore, or later. I'll be preordering soon I reckon.

Hmm unsure. So far I've only seen Alza sell it, nowhere else!

I've ended up just buying a mint condition oneplus 7t pro on ebay for around the same price of this phone. It does what I want and was easy to find.

To be fair, that's a very good shout.
I had the oneplus 7 Pro prior to my current xperia 1 ii. It was a great phone, active rom development, loved the pop up camera and the gcam port made it a pleasure to take snaps with. My only slight gripe with it was the curved screen, I just wasn't a fan of it, but all in all a great phone.
As much as I love the Xperia there's just something not quite right for me about it. I know it's camera possibilities is one of its main features, but I miss the gcam and apparently (after speaking with the dev) hard to get working.
I love the flip camera on the Zenfone and do miss a 90hz display, plus with a likely more active rom community I'm gonna sell this and basically switch at no/little cost.

Think I'm settled on getting the ZenFone now, it ticks all the boxes for me.
Also, as no official UK release, I presume it will be shipped with EU charger?
