[Q] Overseas sales on droid 2 global?

I live in Vietnam currently and want to get that phone. Unfortunately the tax in this country for something imported (shipped) from the USA is ridiculous (50%). Does anyone know if they sell this in Bangkok or elsewhere in SE Asia?

It is only sold in United States unfortunately.

you can try the Milestone 2 as it is a similar phone to the Droid 2 Global without the CDMA radio in it. So if you want a Droid but are only going to use it on GSM mode you can get a European Milestone 2 and still have the similar hardware as a Droid 2.

... even some advantages like 720p HD video recording
I am sure CPU can be overclocked to match the 1.2GHz of the D2G. As newk8600 suggested, I am also suggesting you to consider MS2.
D2G, for now, is only worth in countries where WCDMA 850/1900 is required, as current MS2 model is Euro/Asia only (900/2100 WCDMA)

True about M2 but I plan to return to America in about a year and then the 900/2100 wont work there for 3G. Dam the US carriers for not following international standards

Try Canada

[Q] Does it matter where you buy it

Hey guys,
Excited on getting my Nexus S.
Gonna buy it from the Chinese behemoth Taobao.com
I found out the Nexus S isn't officially available from Samsung China. So it looks like I will be getting an Asian or Euro model. I will get the i9020 (S AMOLED).
I will be moving to Canada soon.
My question is: are all unlocked Euro/Asia models the same in that their frequency bands and features will work in Canada? I don't want to get shafted by getting the wrong 3G band or something like that.
Also, is there region-specific software on the phone that cannot be removed?

It won't have any region specific software, and the radio should work anywhere in the world. If you find you have any issue with it when it arrives, post again, people here are very helpful!
Sent from my SNES

They're not region specific per se, but radio specific. Here's the models:
GT-I9020 or GT-I9020T
900 / 1700 / 2100 MHz UMTS, Super AMOLED
GT-I9020A
850 / 1900 / 2100 MHz UMTS, Super AMOLED
GT-I9023
900 / 1700 / 2100 MHz UMTS, Super Clear LCD

Thanks bedalus and polobunny, will post again once I buy it in the next week or so. =)

If you're coming to Canada, then depending on which carrier you're going to, you'll need a specific version.
Bell, Telus and Rogers use the 9020A
Wind and Mobilicity use the 9020T
Wind and Mobilicity are only available within some urban centres, but are much cheaper. Some complain about quality, but I doubt it's that big a deal so long as you're in their 'zone'.
Keep this in mind when buying.

Thanks bloomfield for that.
I went to the cell phone mall today, went there to find the actual store of one of the guys off taobao. Anyways they all have it but one I saw was from Spain it looked like (inside the battery area) with an Australian manual (could be fake cuz of the paper and the folding was off)
And of course no warranty.
Another came in a Galaxy S box! and again a fake Chinese manual for another model. I was like wtf happened from getting it from overseas to here. They say blah blah blah old phone, etc. now the phone may be legit but why risk all that **** for 300+ bux when I can just get it new/used in Canada for around that WITH warranty.

[Q] Correct bands for Chile?

Hello!
I'm thinking about getting this the US version of the phone since it is a little cheaper and it is black (only white global is available). I understand that it should work fine here in Chile but I rather make sure...please I would apreciate any feedback!
Bands for Chile:
GSM: Movistar/Claro (850Mhz/1900Mhz), Entelpcs (1900Mhz)
UMTS 3G: Movistar/Claro (850Mhz) , Entelpcs (1900Mhz).
Next: Nextel, VTR Móvil (1700/2100Mhz).
Link to phone:
http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Moto...1-3&keywords=Motorola+Moto+G+(2nd+generation)
Thank you all!

Are you sure about buy this phone in Amazon? Remember the taxes in chile (IVA and something more, i dont remember) and in some places here, the phones are unlocked (such pcfactory)
Anyway, that are correct bands, i guess and should work here

it's will cost the same as you will buy it here in Chile.

Thanks, a friend is coming from the US. So it's the final price. The 1st generation Moto g cost the same here, but not the 2nd. Correct me if I'm wrong please!

Unlocked US model in Europe

Have been searching the whole day, but is there any difference in supported LTE bands between the US and Europe model? I haven't found any differences... Seems there is only one unlocked model? (Differences aside from RAM).
Visiting New York in January, this looks like the ideal phone for my girlfriend… Hope to bring one home for her.

EU is HIA_AERO_UHL same as M9 ：）

The only international LTE bands that the unlocked US model supports are 3 and 7. Okay for occasional roaming in Europe but not enough in my opinion if you were going to use it there all the time.

That is because of soft or hardware? I bought US modell because of 3/32 GB, hoped there is no real difference....

working great for me in Germany
Hello all,
for me the unlocked 32GB version is working greate with LTE (tmobile network) in Germany.
MarcMarin

Where did you bought it?
What kind of cable / power supply did you get delivered with? (german or not)

Great Price!

Hi guys,
I just wanted to share this with you as I've purchased
in the past from these guys and had a great experience!
Right now they have the U Ultra for a really good price:

P.S= I hope this is OK for me to post it here, if not please let me know so that I can remove it ASAP.

Hey there,
Not that I am 100% sure, but I've called this statement into question in another thread, I'll repost here.
In one of the threads here on XDA, another member suggested he ordered the intl. model and it didnt support the right bands for the USA. Leading me to think there were multiple models.
I'm starting to think there isn't, here is why.
1. Michael Fisher (I think he's in Canada) imported a TW market phone for his early review. It appears to have LTE in the film, and he doesnt mention anything about incompatibilities.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIWbn8ecKwA
2. Jeff Springer (I think he's in the USA) imported a HK market phone, it also appears to have LTE - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fclOYUyfxnE&t=522s
I believe the belief that the intl. model doesnt support USA bands (2/4, etc) comes from the practice (poor practice, admittedly) for HTC's Taiwanese website to only declare the bands that it perceives are relevant to Taiwanese users. The HK website suggests the same as taiwan = FDD: B1/B3/B5/B7/B8/B20/B28 TDD: B38/B39/B40/B41
The UK / India / USA / AU sites all state - FDD: Bands B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B7/B8/B12/B17/B20/B28TDD: Bands B38/B39/B40/B41
With USA & AU not stating support for dual sim, but HK, TW, India, UK do.
I believe there is only one model (with multiple software variations), and the information published being variable.
I now know there are at least 2 model numbers. U-1u (Taiwan and HK confirmed to use this model, dual sim), and U-1h (single sim, AU and UK confirmed). But given the info above (michael fisher and Jeff Springer both importing the U-1u, and seemingly can connect to north american lte, seems to suggest that the band support for U-1u is wider than the official website specs)

HTC U Ultra - got from imobilephonex
Hey there
I got from New HTC U Ultra form imobilephonex
Really good price & brilliant phone :good:

Here is the breakdown officially from HTC's website. The dual band international version is missing 2, 4, 12 and 17. 17 being the most important one.

So get this I wake up to a text from FedEx saying I have a package coming I didn't order anything else so it's out for delivery! I checked the HTC site and it still says it hasn't been shipped and no tracking number!

It's cheaper on eBay (649) and it's from a US based seller instead of having it shipped from Asia. What is holding me back from this phone is the horrific resale value of HTC and LG products. Once the S8 is announced/released this HTC U Ultra can be purchased for an insane amount less than full retail. Apple and Samsung phones hold their value well even used but unfortunately phones like this are not worth buying new for full retail IMO.

Having an LTE sign does not mean it supports the entire range of the network.
