just need a quick answer in regards to raphael

im sorry if this is answered or if this is a stupid, silly question, but im about to hit checkout on a purchase on a htc touch pro. Before doing so i was wondering if there was anyway to get US 3G working on this phone? By means of a flash rom or anything? Thanks in advance and once again sorry!

NOOOO! There isn't a way of getting US 3G to work on the phone! Just wait for AT&T to release it and buy it retail! Trust me! It'll be better and cheaper!

thanks for quicky reply. I have been monitoring fuze thread, and the consensus seems to be nov 4th. If i can get it tuesday from ATT fine, but im tired of waiting, and my e71 is getting boring. Any word on US 3G unlocked touch pro? Would prefer that over branded model due to exclusivity reasons.

The US 3G touch pro will release after the fuze does. AT&T has first dibs on releasing a GSM version of the touch pro. Sprint had dibs on releasing it first in the USA. I would really suggest you wait. I mean on black friday, last year it was 50% off /w new contract or renewal. That is kick ass. $150 for the fuze on black friday. I would definately wait for that.

waiting 22 days to save 150 is kind of worth it, but not really. Especially when your like me and must have your new toy as soon as its available.
And FWIW, negrielectronics, which is known to be a reliable site for unlocked phones, has the fuze listed for pre-release on 11/3/2008. But who knows, maybe they are going by the same info as we are? heres to hoping for the best.

Lg indian Thread

I am eagerly wtng for this hot one.. n trading off my edge plus.. as of now only available on ebay for 79999.. any idea when will it cm to India.

Is this thing even coming to India ?
At the beginning of the month, LG's US press release said...
The LG V10, available initially in Korea starting this month, is coming soon to the United States, as well as and key countries in Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. Information regarding launch dates will be announced locally in the weeks to come.

The G4 launched in India a month and a half after the US which was the beginning of June. That means mid december if there ever is to be a v10 Indian release. At what price ? 64GB note 5 has a mrp of 60k. So v10 is 50-60k and G4 will be around the 35k mark.
Wait three months for the price to come down, we're in March 2016. Just 3 months away from the G5. Devices with 820 cpu will already be out.
yeah, it looks good but how much sense does it make ?
This thing is big too. See the comparison

Thnx for info... bt yes really strange they pushed g series so rigidly in india. And now this beauty they showing attitude

UK S9+ Waiting Room

Here is a space to discuss best deals from various Networks, also to see if pre orders are shipped early as expected.
Discuss anything related to the process of ordering & delivery, free gifts and colour choices.
Carphone warehouse are offering up a free 128gb Micro SD card with the S9 & S9+.
I decided to stick with my Network Sky (who don't seem to be offering any free gifts) . My choice was to go for the S9+ in lillac purple (I dare to be different).
So please feel free UK buyers to use this space :good:

Hi dude, went for cpw too s9 plus in black aye shame we aint gettin any better deals like free wireless charger etc

We seldom do get great deals, but a 128gb SD card is not to bad although a wireless charger or new dex is obviously better :silly:
Pre orders start shipping on the 9th, will be interesting to test the most improved feature (That camera) and how it compares with my Pixel XL 2 & iPhone X :good:

Ordered via Samsung I just hope its arrives before I go to work.

I am in the US but ordered from Clove.co.uk - they told me the pre-order was shipping on the 8th - I hope that happens, I can't wait to snap a few pictures with that Camera and see for myself how good it is - read several reviews yesterday and I am more excited than ever.

I thought it was a lot cheaper where you are. £869 is roughly $1200.

s9+ ordered from the Samsung store coming from my very battered and bruised s7 edge, pretty excited!
What colour did everyone go for? I'm breaking from tradition and going for the Coral Blue (Always had black)

murican here. Ordered the UK model cuz of the storage and Exynos. So I halfway belong here.

Ran me $1,023 vs $840 before tax for the gimped U.S. model. For the extra money I'm getting 128GB and Exynos (and all its perks). Definitely worth the extra, and the fact that there are no free items this time made the choice that much easier.

Expensive purchase hope no customs tax on top of that? Not sure how it works in the states?
Most certainly the correct decision bro :good:

Yeah seems like a better decision to go for.
But check ur bands to make sure u can actually use the exynos version in the States, there are some diff ones especially with likes of t mobile etc

Just a reminder guys that if you are ordering directly and have an older phone to make sure you pick up a nano SIM.
You don't that suprise on delivery.
Have a good weekend guys.

Pretty sure they use DPD, who are usually pretty reliable. Tip: Install the DPD app as it'll notify you of any shipments coming to your address!

On their website, they have a give away for the Zenfone 6 to come to North America in 47 days.

B&H has it on their website. If you enter your email address they notify you when it's in stock. I'm getting impatient though. I think ASUS really needs release their phones a lot sooner after they unveil them. If something more appealing comes out between now and then I may get that instead.
He'll, if the S10+ drops in price enough between now and then I may just get that (used)

Just noticed that BH Photo site bumped their pre-order start date from June 15th to July 1st...
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/prod...s855_6g64g_bk_zenfone_6_zs630xl_dual_sim.html

With the sweepstakes ending later this month, there could possibly be a new model with the USA/North American release. I hope so, at least.
Why would Asus have it available to the USA via importer websites but not officially? Maybe so far its taking a while to get through FCC certifications...

I would buy the international version, but I want to be sure all of the bands in the USA are available on the phone. I use AT&T and want to be sure I get full coverage. From what I've read, Gearbest mainly sells the international/Europe version and this one is spotty with the USA bands available. Hence, I wait for the USA release. But I'm with all ya'll . . . If they don't hurry up another phone may grab my attention and they lose that sale.

BHPhoto now have July 15 for the start of pre-orders... Still no price or ship date.

Shouldn't be a surprise to anyone following the saga of trying to buy one of these in the UK.
Preorders went up late may with a mid June shipping date suggested by customer support. Then preorders were closed, but no phones arrived. Delivery date is now suggested as end July with the phones hidden on the Asus UK store.
I still really want my zenfone,, but this is as botched a launch as I've ever seen.

Still waiting in the US
I called Asus and they said "middle of July" but I take that with a grain of salt.
The botched launch plus reports of bad call quality/volume (has to do with the flip cam I think) are making me look for another phone.
I like big battery phones, there are others to chose from (though not with an 855).

OnePlus 8 Pro looks impressive, but I'm not a fan of the green and the camera no quite on par from initial comparisons. What are your thoughts?

I also didn't like the green too much, but the blue version looks amazing on all reviews no matter that on oneplus' webpage the picture of the blue looks ugly. For the camera I agree that probably it won't be the absolute best but I wouldn't look at Oneplus anyways if the camera was my top priority. However I think it will be updated and it will be top-of-the-line. Oneplus is the king of updates and UX. The screen is the best, stereo speakers, fastest wireless charging. I also like that they removed the motorized camera tbh(i know this is subjective, but still). The curve of the screen is not something that I appreciate, but also I get used to this( I had the Vivo Nex 3, Huawei Mate 30 Pro) and don't mind in the end.
Some things I like better on the Find X2 Pro(the back finish for example and the faster wired charging), but OnePlus 8 Pro gets my vote because the community is beyond comparison so we will get all kinds of things to play with over here at XDA. +good battery +fastest wireless charging +the best screen +great camera +Oxygen(btw Find X2 Pro is similar) +best updates.
In the end -> I placed my pre-order of the blue 256GB model and hopefully will get it by the end of next week.

Hi, sadly I don't. I waited for two weeks (6 days for it to be in stock) and they still didn't send it despite having it in stock (despite their adverts saying thar they send phones 7 days a week until 11pm etc) and I cancelled the order and bought a P40 Pro instead.

I’ve ordered the orange variant from Belsimpel.nl, shipped Friday so hope to receive sometime this week (UK). Took a few days to get through fraud check as I’m not in the Netherlands but appreciate that is for my safety also. By the time i got through the checks it said 2-4 days to get stock in but they actually shipped immediately. Not sure if they put one to the side for me but doubt it!

I've took the gamble too. Have just ordered the black from belsimpel.nl
Looked at all the alternatives, and although some of the China ones were cheaper, they were all just 256gb. I would have liked dual sim but the chance of the phone not supporting android auto and/or wifi calling (plus only one year warranty - and the possibility of customs charges etc) was too much of a gamble. None of the Chinese merchants would commit.
Hopefully, this will arrive swiftly... nice black 512Gb single SIM for just over €1,204 including shipping. Reckon that even when(if) it turns up in UK it'll be similar price for 512Gb.
Ordering, like you say, was a bit of a miff... but I'll take that for security purposes.

Just for info, the tracking on mine was stuck, it still said it was waiting to be picked up by the courier for 3 days after it 'shipped'. It wasn't though it was in transit and arrived within 3 working days

Arrived 2nd Day after shipping. Has Android Auto, WiFi calling (yet to test), so currently quite happy
