Hi,
I can't find any information on neither Lenovo's site nor any other place on internet about the release date for this phone.
Where will it be sold ?
When ?
Does anyone have any ides on this ?
Thanks.
They haven't said an exact date, just that it's coming in September. The only announced retailers have been Best Buy and Lowes in the United States. I assume it will be available on some online outlet too.
well, I'd like to get it from UK
any possible shops in UK ?
Don't know about that, but presumably we'll get more information the closer we get to the release date.
heh. isn't it closer now ?
we are in september 2016...
It has been delayed.
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Lenovo-Phab-2-Pro-worlds-first-commercial-Project-Tango-phone-gets-delayed_id85312
very interesting.
why Lenovo doesn't want to release earlier in Europe...
I'm just speculating, but I seem to recall someone speculating (maybe it was Android Authority) that Lenovo may change the micro-USB jack on the device that was shown at the trade shows to a Type-C in the production model. Maybe there was some problem with that which caused the delay.
I'm just guessing though.
You can sign up to be notified when it's released on its official Lenovo page.
The Phab 2 Pro goes on sale November 1...
Sweet. How do you know?
Lowe's will be selling it also.

I checked to see if I can get lucky and order a day ahead but it wasn't available.
Hi its on sale on amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M6BZUNP/
Seems like it only supports ATT and Tmobile which sucks

Amazon is selling it now. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M6BZUNP. Seems though it only supports ATT and Tmobile LTE. And they only have the gun metal grey version.
$999, LOL!
I ordered mines this morning from Lowes online for Tuesday delivery but according to shipping it's coming a day earlier on Monday. I should be mad because I specifically chose Tuesday for a reason and now I have to stay at home. The phone is shipping from NC and I stay in SC on anyone may be wondering. The only suggestion I would make is do not buy anywhere except from Lowes, Best Buy, or the Lenovo store itself. I have seen people trying to sell this phone for $1000. I think people have been getting their phones faster when ordering from Lowes and Best Buy.
As of right now Lowes seems to be the best place to buy it. As fas as I can tell all purchases made from Lowes are shipping the same day. I don't think Lenovo has shipped any of their yet.
the european model has different frequency bands.

Hi,
where did you read that there is also a European version?
there is a market outside the usa?
I do not know how to buy ...
Do you have a link to the Best Buy one? I couldn't find it.

http://www.popularelect.com/product...id=CNPmmfGZhJUCFQRJFQod5VhbrQ&tab=2&osCsid=10
and it specifies that it has an 850 MHz capability:
Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz (Band frequency and data speed are operator dependent)
Is this for real? All sites I have checked so far specify that the 850MHz version is not available as yet.
If the information of this site is for real, would it work for AT&T?
what a thousand dollar phone
these chinese pricks are getting ridiculous !!!(HTC)
In relation to my question: Is the 850 MHz part for real?
The actual store, btw, is in Chicago.
Correct if I'm wrong, but AFAIK all Pros are quad band GSM.
Yes, all of them have 850mhz available. And it's not Chinese, smart guy.

It is for real. Check out the specifications on the main htc website it says exactly the same thing. The Europe/Asia version will work on Verizon, but you won't be able to get WCDMA speeds. The US version has 850/1900 WCDMA, whereas the Europe/Asia version as mentioned on the HTC site has 900/2100. Would be nice if they could make one with all 4 WCDMA's
I have definitely seen some sites that claim the Touch Pro is only Tri-Band, but the HTC site would be the one to go by seeing as they made it an all
WCDMA (3G) is where it differs. All Touch Pro's do NOT have 850mhz WCDMA. You can get service everywhere, but only 3G in areas with 900/2100mhz 3G... AT&T uses 850/1900 for 3G.

No they do not all have it activated, smart guy ....look here at the official Dutch HTC site specs:

No 850mhz band... not even for gsm (voice) function. Its a triband not quadband....
And after browsing this forum for weeks now its still not clear to me if the 850mhz band can be activated with just a rom/radio update..... a lot of different opinions in here....

First of all, it is a ROM flash, second, their specs page for english used to say triband too but they changed it to quad band...
I have a friend who works for ATT and just tested the new HTC Touch Pro (Raphael) and said that ATT is planning on releasing them in November, code named "ATT Fusion."
Of course, they claim it's real...

These guys say (of course) they got a few in stock and they sold quickly. These are actually the EUROPE/ASIA version but the rep claims they are Quadband and that 3G works on both AT&T and T-Mobile (US). They are getting more in next week.

The more I read the more I get confused.....are the phones (if as advertised) in the site mentioned on post 14 likely to be working with ATT 3G?
UMTS/HSDPA for 850/900/1900/2100 on Touch Pro
I also keep on hearing this regarding bands on the Touch Pro. Can the UMTS/HSDPA band be activated for 850/900/1900/2100 by just flashing a custom ROM or changing the Radio Version? Please someone answer this....
This is something i want to know as well. I've been doing quite a bit of searching with no answer as of yet.
I live 40 minutes from Chicago and have asked this company about AT&T, Quad Band, and actual prodoct availability.
If they have them in stock, I will drive to their store, insert my AT&T SIM card and see if it will actually work.
But first, let's see if they respond to my questions.
Good deal...

Yea...I'm close to these guys too. Actually there are about 5 electronics storefront stores all next door to each other over there on W. Devon in Chicago. I bought my last 4 unlocked GSM phones from that area. Oddly enough, Popular Electronics have NEVER been the first to have any of the phones I wanted. For the past 2 years their usual answer has been "It will be here MONDAY." But "MONDAY" takes months to come!
The guys next door at Overseas Electronics (http://www.welectronics.com/) have always gotten the phones FIRST in that area--including the TyTN II. Even the other store next door to them (http://bargainoffers.com/catalog/default.php) get the hottest GSM phones before Pop Elect. This time though, Overseas say about 3-4 weeks out for the Touch Pro...so I'm really interested to know if Pop Elect actually gets them FOR REAL "by MONDAY" this time.
Please keep us informed. Thanks!!

Hi
I'm thinking of buying the nexus 5, tho it has not arrived to my country yet and my resellers will put on a 100-200$ extra as they did with the nexus 4, so if I order one from Google play store (the unlocked one)(will order it through a post forwarding company) will it work in EU?
I have my doubts because I read a review that said " Network compatibility
Google has made two versions of the handset, one specifically for North America/Asia, and another for other regions like Europe."
Thanks in advance
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I am also interested in this. Hope there is just one version that is compatible worldwide.
Thank you in anticipation to whoever can clarify this.
You can actually use the US model in Europe without problem, but you can't use LTE because the LTE bands supported in this US(& Canada) model are mostly not compatible in Europe & Asia.
The specs in the N5 page has clearly stated the different lte bands support.
North America:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
CDMA: Band Class: 0/1/10
WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8/19
LTE: Bands: 1/2/4/5/17/19/25/26/41
Rest of World:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8
LTE: Bands: 1/3/5/7/8/20
You can check the supported bands in your country here:

Buy from Play Store in Malta
Malta is not yet a supported country for the Play Store. Can anyone suggest a way to get the new Nexus 5?
Through the US play store it is way cheaper.
I've used the N4 US model in EU without an issue, so the N5 should be no different.

Borderlinx will calculate the import taxes in your country. when paying Borderlinx for the shipping, you will also be paying the taxes to them. tey will pay the taxes to your customs. Therefore DHL will directly deliver to you without delay at the customs.

Exactly the dilemma I'm having right now.
3G and 3,5G is quite fast in Europe. I'm getting 4-6 megs on 3,5G which is enough for me.
Heavy data usage costs more so I use WiFi for it anyway. In my case I'd buy one from US.
Considering LTE as a still early dev. technology in my part of the world I'm even more convinced.
I just bought a US version for use in Europe

does anyone know whether buying the n5 from a country you don't reside in will affect warranty? I'm assuming warranty is only covered by the country that the device is issued for...
If LG policy is still the same then you will have to send it to the country where you bought it. The question is: will they ship it back directly to your country...

Does anyone know if the oneplus one from fastcardtech has the same development support as going through and buying it from actual Oneplus? The specs look the same except for this one uses Color OS instead of CM11S. I'd love to have the OPO but haven't been able to get an invite when I have the money. And since I can buy this at any time I thought I would ask.
Thanks!

It's basically the same thing, the Chinese version but it's fine if you're in Europe ( will only work with certain carriers in the U.S though). With regards to os you can flash cyanogen or whatever you want, as it's the same hardware.
P.s. check out oppomart.com, coolicool.com, to see who is the cheapest.

WCDMA: Bands: 850/900/1900/2100MHz,*LTE FDD: Bands: 1800/2100/2600MHz
* Please inquire your SIM provider if it works on Oneplus one before place order.
The LTE standard covers a range of many different bands, each of which is designated by both a frequency and a band number. In North America, 700, 750, 800, 850, 1900, 1700/2100 (AWS) and 2600 MHz (Rogers Communications, Bell Canada) are used (bands 4, 7, 12, 13, 17, 25, 26, 41); 2500 MHz in South America; 800, 900, 1800, 2600 MHz in Europe(bands 3, 7, 20);1800 and 2600 MHz in Asia (bands 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 11, 13, 40);and 1800 MHz and 2300 MHz in Australiaand New Zealand (bands 3, 40).As a result, phones from one country may not work in other countries. Users will need a multi-band capable phone for roaming internationally.
Hi everyone
Last year I bought the fabulous LG G3 Dual Sim from Hong Kong (H858HK), I was pissed when I got home as it does not work on 4G like it did in HK and it will not update over OTA :/
I have rooted it (Of course) and it's running 5.1 but updates and custom Roms are scarce or invisible lol
So now I am looking to upgrade BUT I want a phone that works on 4G as my Voda business tariff includes 5Gb on 4G so my as well use it right ?
I am looking through all the bumf and it seems the LG G4 H818P will not work in the UK on 4G, not sure about the H818P and the HTC ONE E9+
Can anyone please help shed some light on this for me?
I need a dual sim phone that will work on Vodaphone and if poss EE too
Specs for H818N are here, bit not sure which 4G Vodaphone uses as it says 800Mhz on their website :/
http://www.lg.com/hk_en/mobile-phones/lg-H818N
FDD: 2100(B1) / 1800(B3) / 2600(B7) MHz TDD:2600(B38) / 1900(B39) / 2300(B40) / 2500(B41) MHz
HTC says
4G bands LTE band 1(2100), 3(1800), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 28(700), 38(2600), 39(1900), 40(2300), 41(2500)
SO am I right in thinking the LG is no good, but HTC ONE will be fine?
Thanks for any help & advice

Hello fellow xda users,
I am currently trying to buy myself a 4G LTE modem, and I'm looking into buying one from China, since the devices I need here cost 200 euros and up, whereas from Chinese retailers they go as low as 67 euros.
The only problem I'm having is choosing a device which supports the correct LTE Bands of my country.
Here in Lithuania I am using services of the carrier name BITE. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks_in_Europe (Country: Lithuania) BITE provides users with LTE bands 3, 7 and 20. (1800, 2600, and 800 Mhz respectively). And they sell their expensive SIM Modem devices (such as Huawei E5186s-22a) which support bands LTE FDD DD800/900/1800/2100/2600MHz, TDD 2600MHz (bands 3, 7 and 20 are included).
Whereas the products offered in China have support of only 2 of the 3 bands listed.
Not sure if I'm allowed to share product links here, but here we go:
1. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/5200...-Hotspot-Portable-Power-Bank/32315152662.html
2. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/3G-M...ower-bank-3g-wifi-router-with/1881314121.html
As you can see, both these devices support Band 3 (1800Mhz) and Band 7 (2600Mhz), however the support for Band 20 (800Mhz) is not listed.
So I'm not sure where to go from this point.
I am using my Xperia Z1 (C6903) phone from the place where I want to use the 4G SIM Modem, and my phone is showing me that it is using 4G network (3/5 bars) on BITE network.
However I'm not sure, which bands are being used in that area? It's AROUND the capital city of Lithuania. The network map of the carrier BITE shows that the city is fully covered in 4G+ network, whereas the outskirts of the city are 4G only -- and my phone proves this (4G works both in and outside the city, can't test the LTE).
In the end what I fully want to know:
Will I have 4G internet access ordering one of these devices that support bands 3 and 7, but not 20?
Will I be able to connect to the Internet at all?
Is band 20 (800 Mhz) that critical for 4G to work with this device? Or should I just spare the extra hundred more euros and buy the carrier certified device?

Will I be able to connect to the Internet at all?
Is band 20 (800 Mhz) that critical for 4G to work with this device? Or should I just spare the extra hundred more euros and buy the carrier certified device?
