Does anyone have information on when the MS Messaging and Security Feature Pack for Windows Mobile 5 will be released and in what form?
MS say it will only be released to Mobile operators and Mobile Device OEMs, but no Mobile Operator or OEM I have spoken to has even heard of it let alone if they will make it available on new devices or as an upgrade to existing customers.
Orange UK assured me that they would make all upgrades released to them available. While O2 hinted at quite the opposite (would mean competition with thier beloved blackberry).
T-Mobile said all free upgrades would be available through HTC, but as yet I've been unable to get a number where I can speak to someone at HTC and confirm.
Any Info much appreciated.
I must notice that there are some corny data in flags and operator logos.
Yugoslavia ceased to exist in 2003 and until a month ago was called Serbia and Montenegro. A month ago two countries split apart and they are two independent states now.
I can provide you with the new flags which style will be very simillar to those already used at the forums.
Also, there are 2 GSM operators in Serbia, Mobtel (curretly is on sale) and Telekom Srbija. The first one you have listed under Yugoslavia and it has no image (uses defaul fido.ca). That should be corrected too. I can find their logo and resize it for the forum needs.
The same is with Moldova: there are two GSM providers in the country: one of them is Voxtel, which in 1-2 months will be Orange (listed here, but without logo) and Moldcell. you can see the logos of both companies on www.voxtel.md and www.moldcell.md
Also china would be great. There are 3 gsm providers, china telecom and china unicom.
I would like to provide image for my operator too. And color stripes in country flag is not in right proportions
I can prepare images if it is possible to change this.
Also in Israel, you don't have one GSM carrier. its called Cellcom, and I would be happy to send the Logo if you wish.
Hi
To sum it up should I buy sim free (expensive) or go with Desire on the Three network?
I am due to get a Desire handset on the Three network in Ireland through a work contract.
As I understand it the rollout is currently delayed due to issues loading the Three applications, branding and customisations on to the devices in Ireland..
I am assuming if this is the case, that the handset will then be both locked and branded, also whenever Froyo comes to device via HTC i will not be able to upgrade due to the Three branding and apps.
So to get froyo (whenever) i assume I will have to unlock and debrand, and get the stock HTC rom - is this all possible? anybody been through this?
Otherwise I am seriously considering just purchasing SIM free althought that will be at least double the price.
Just looking for advice on my best option?
Cheers for any experience, advice (maybe from three UK customers)
TC
hi, if you intend to use the device on the 3 network there is no need to unlock it, debranding your phone is also easy, look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189 this will tell you how to make a goldcard, once you have a goldcard you can easly flash any generic desire rom
As object says, i don't know exactly which country will arrive but i'm interested in SamsungPay that in some countries hasn't been released
In case i'll be able to flash another country code to install it?
What is your idea ? IMHO whichever country code you flash if SamsungPay is not present in your country - it will not work
edit: you are from Italy. It should work

So regardless the country code that comes into the phone the app will be available from Play Store if released in my country?

This is interesting question. When phone comes from official distribution in Italy it should work that way.
In general: Samsung pay or Google pay have no bank systems. The work with cooperation with some local (i.e. : Italian, Polish ) bank. Surely different bank in every country. So it is rather not a technical problem to have Samsung pay in any country but administrative.
Hi all,
I live in Europe and am planning to buy a Snapdragon S20+ from HongKong.
I've checked which network bands the HK phone supports and all bands I need are there.
Before placing the order I want to check with you guys if I have a clear picture of all limitations that come with buying a HK S20+ in Europe.
The list I compiled so far:
- No Samsung Pay (I don't care, won't use it)
- VOLTE may or may not work depending on your carrier (I don't care, I barely call and if I call I don't care about the quality)
- No warranty in Europe .
- Difference in timing of updates
Anything else I should take into account?

Carrier Aggregation may suffer, which will reduce download speeds. I have a Hong Kong variant, VoLTE, WiFi Calling and Samsung Pay work however I'm in the US, your results may vary as you mentioned depending on the carrier. Don't expect you can modify the CSC, you can't change it. Samkey doesn't support HK variants and OXM, which allows Preconfiguration changes for different European CSC's isn't embedded in the software. Updates have come in a timely fashion every month and there's no Carrier Branded Bloatware. Even though the device has some limitations I've been pleased with the HK variant, anything but Exynos!

Thanks for sharing your experiences.
I'll go for the HK version then. Don't see any reason why I shouldn't.
Actually Samsung Pay should work in Europe flawlessly, only thing that won't work is rewards. To be more precise, rewards do work, but the rewards shown are the ones of the phone's original country...
As for the Samkey CSC change limitation, I remember reading a post here about a user that changed CSC from Taiwan to Hong Kong using Samkey...

Good to know. I'm currently not using or planning to use Samsung Pay but that might change in the future.
Regarding the CSC limations, I don't see any reason why I would need to change the CSC.
Reason why you may want to think twice is that in the event if you get unit with poor uniformity seller may not be willing to replace it as easily
How do you plan on buying it?

I bought mine from T-Dimension. Just be sure to order from their .de or .co.uk site and you don't have to pay any customs. Cheeper then the Exynos version here in Sweden. Took about 2 weeks to get the phone. First they ship it from HK to their warehouse in UK then from there to me.

I have ordered the phone from WondaMobile.
They have the HongKong Snapdragon version for the same price as the Exynos in my country.
Also no customs are being charged as they will ship it from/via the UK.
I have ordered S20 ultra also from WondaMobile. I was on 6th of May and I'm hopping the delivery will not take to much time. I also hope I don't have to send it back because of broken camera glass or other issues which s20 ultra suffers...
Hello
My S20 Ultra comes to WondaMobile and is amazing (model 512/16GB)
Samsung Pay and Volte work perfectly.
Photos are fantastic.
I also have the Snapdragon version
Get it. I had the Exynos and it had a poor battery life plus other disadvantages

Hello, what is the CSC, what is the use of it and why someone would change it? Are the european languages supported in this version?
