I have discovered that op8t is much cheaper on aliexpress. Is there any difference in the models between USA and the one sold on Ali?

Less bands on the China variant no 66 and 71 if you plan to use it with T-mobile. Probably better on AT&T if someone else can confirm. T mobile will probably work fine for the most part with a few dead spots
Indeed, make sure you buy a version that fits your carriers' bands.
Verify the seller first before buying that Product. Do look at the reviews also!!!
I bought 4 oneplus devices ( 1, 3t, 6, 7t) from Ali. No issues! Good prices
if you can find someone help you register a local Taobao account, that would be even better. You can get much better price, though shipping could be a problem. Ali can help you buy a lot of different products. I also bought part for laptops just for repair and refurbish.

If it's the oneplus genuine product, couldn't you flash the tmobile modem since they're all the same? (To the best of my knowledge)

Does flashing the modem unlock more lte bands?

It should be the same exact modem I would assume? So it would simply be software on said modem that would unlock the bands. You can flash the Tmobile modem to the international build and vice versa so I don't see why you couldn't here... There aren't any RSA checks like in other phones, like LG and Sammy.
If there ARE hardware differences, then it wouldn't work but I don't think there are any.
Can someone more knowledgeable help us out here?

Hello, I am going to buy this Nexus 5 in U.S. (NY) next week.
What should I know befor buying it? I am not from U.S. (from Israel).
What should I check or ensure?
I am going to buy it from T-MOBILT by the way.
Thank' guys!
You should know that you'll be buying the wrong version for use in Israel. There's two versions of the Nexus, one for North America (D820) and one for the rest of the world (D821), the difference being the radio bands that are supported, specifically the LTE bands. So while a North American model will work oversees for voice and 3G data, it won't for work 4G, as it doesn't support the proper bands.
Everything he said^^^^^^^. Also you should check out a few review videos on YouTube to get an idea of what the Nexus 5 has to offer.

why would i, as an american, need to generally buy a phone that is meant for European countries?
the US uses different LTE bands than the European countries, so thats why the hardware (note: radio only bands only) is different.

http://www.myworldphone.com/ sells the international Nexus 5 D821. Their store is located in New York City (in Queens close to JFK Airport). You can do online chat with them to confirm before you depart home.
Since today, can be purchased from motorola Mexico, starting from $5,999.00
Anyone in Mexico want to help me buy one and ship to the US?
Can anyone confirm the Moto X Play sold in Mexico is the dual sim version? It's unbelievable how confusing Motorola's model # and specification pages are.

The Moto X Play in Mexico has dual nanoSIM, model XT1563
The mexico model should be good to go here in the states and be unlocked. I would also be interesting in a 32gb model. If someone has an address in mexico we can ship to and then ship it back to use here...thats all we would need

Is that because you have one in hand or just from the motorola.mx website? I chatted with the motorola latin america support and they said at the moment only the single sim version is available. If you go through motomaker it makes no mention of dual sim, nor in the any of the description content. You only see dual nanoSIM in the specs.

I already have it since thursday, and also I already used it in the US with a T-Mobile nanoSIM and on AT&T using a Telcel nanoSIM, in both cases I got 4G. So I can confirm that this phone has dual SIM

The experience with T-Mobile was really good, this phone has AWS band for T-Mobile 3G and all the bands in LTE for T-Mobile and AT&T, and even some Chinese LTE bands, and I guess this phone is really good for a backup phone, I still love my Nexus 6, but this phone holds his ground pretty good.

I got an invitation by Motorola, so when they announced the availability of this phone, also was available a few units for us at the time, but only in white or black, right now the only way to get it is via Moto Maker, takes around 10 days, in a few days it going to be available in Best Buy Mexico, but I don’t think the deliver to the US, usually we buy in the US or import from the US, not the other way around, I don’t think there is a good exporter to US

even when you purchase from the HTC.ca website, all it does it forwards you to the HTC USA website, but charges you Canadian Tax and in Canadian money, but stock and model it's the same, and are from the same warehouse.

Are you sure you want to? I thought the exynos versions don't work in US carriers that's why they use snapdragons? If you do want one I'd imagine ebay or one of the Chinese sites like gearbest would be your best bet.

Verizon told me they will support it gsm but as to whether it will ever do CDMA, i don't know. I think i need to get the latin verson exynos note 10 for that.
Are you looking for the exynos so you have root capability?
Edit: just done a bit of digging and you may be OK with att and tmobile but verizon and sprint can only work on CDMA.

I'm not really sure to be honest. I'm sure the dev community will have it cracked already though. I don't bother these days as I know it can limit some features and android is as open as I need it to be. I'd prefer the snapdragon variant but I'd have to go through the hassle of importing it and sacrifice the warranty and on an £1100 device its just not worth it for me personally

Nah. Nothing. The s10+ was an outlier since the last pre order bonus in the UK was the dex thing for the note 8.
A work colleague got free buds with the s10e. I think it sucks how Samsung treats UK customers compared to elsewhere. I've been an avid note customer since day one and in all that time received a couple of free charging pucks and a GearVR (from Carphonewarehouse).

What the heck are you talking about, the phone is great, battery is great (81% left after busy day), speed is blazing, camera is great, little to know issues (gmail freezes and no swipe down to answer) - surely not worth crying about and from what I read the update has no significant value - return your phone if you are so displeased with OnePlus.

That is a T-Mobile problem...not OnePlus! For whatever reason you chose to purchase the T-Mobile version of the phone along with all the consequences.

I too wonder why it is taking so long for the unlocked phones to receive the last few updates...but then again I'm happy that my phone is working great...and let all the other countries be the beta testers and squash the bugs...then they can release a truly stable version for me!

Because we have full zips for Euro and OTAs will actually work. Converting to global would require the same reserve.img dumping as T-Mobile variants and break OTAs without tons of effort. Global will hopefully use OnePlus servers for the next OTA.
For now, converting to Euro is best for most 8T variants. Modem works perfectly with whatever bands your phone's hardware support.
