Hi,
Is it possible to buy a sim free XDAIIi, which can be used outside UK.
I checked with the O2 shop in London, and they said they only sell it on with a plan, which means Sim locked.
If it is available in any country, i can have it bought.
It is still not available in Hong Kong and O2 Asia Pac says they have no clue when it will be launched.
Thanks for any advice.
Best regards
Khawar

Near the bottom.
Although it is sim free you will have to check with them if it is locked or not.
Hello, do any of you know how to tell if galaxy nexus is carrier branded in my case vodafone romania carrier branded? I play to buy GN from vodafone and I was told that the phones are only carrier locked but not carrier branded. I want to make sure they are not carrier branded, is there any way to tell??
I am worried that if it will be carried branded (and not as they say in the shop, carrier unbranded) I will not be able to have future OTA updates after google releases them, instead I will have to way for vodafone to brand the update and only after that I will have it on the phone. They said that they will unlock the phone for free as I will buy it contract free.
Ty in advance for the answer.
My Galaxy Nexus from Vodafone UK has no branding on it at all

Hi - got it this morning from Vodafone RO: I confirm it's not branded.
I got mine today from Vodafone Romania. Not branded, but carrier locked.
MIne too is vodafone locked Any chance to unlock it?
Vodafone will unlock it for you vodafone.ro/business/asistenta/telefoane-si-echipamente/service-si-reparatii/service-telefoane-vodafone/index.htm
I am waiting for mine to arrive. BTW which configuration is it YAKJU or YAKJUXW?
I got the phone yesterday from Vodafone RO and I also confirm that is locked on Vodafone but it's not branded.
FYI, the ppl at the shop told me that I can get it unlocked in any Vodafone shope for 50 € and I wont loose the warranty, also there is the option to unlock it at Samsung site and the warranty won't be lost this way. So you either pay Vodafone 50 € to unlock the phone or go to Samsung and unlock the phone for 15$. The process of unlocking is the same in both cases only Vodafone charges more and the wait time is a maximum of 2 weeks.
Ty all for the feedback...

Hi,
I take it that the for those that do not want to root, that the unbranded/unlocked UK version is best because of more frequent OTA updates and that the phone is in the English language?
1.Where are the best prices on the unbranded/unlocked UK version?
2.Which is the best place to buy it that is fast, your getting an unopened/sealed retail box, and has good packing?
I did see the other thread on the subject. Although, the posters appeared to be generally European locals. Which isn't a bad thing, but it would seem like this version of the Htc One X would be the one desired by European, North American, and American users alike. So, the answers given should have included persons/businesses in the US (including on Ebay) that are selling the HTC One X UK also.

I preordered mine from amazon uk. Both boxes were sealed so no one had touched them. They are unlocked to any network which is great.
The price has dropped and they come with free delivery. Here is the link

Hi, I'm in the UK and I'd like to buy an Xperia Pro, which are no longer easily available new here (unless anyone knows better?) Looking on ebay there are very few for sale in UK, but quite a few for sale from Hong Kong, supposedly in new condition.
Normally I would be wary of Hong Kong auctions (having bought fake GBA games in the past). Does anyone know if the Hong Kong Xperia Pros will likely be OK? Are there such things as fake Xperias? If they're the MK16i model (as they claim) will they work OK on 3G in UK? Will the hardware keyboard be the same as in UK? Will the software have British English? Will Google Play be available? Etc.
Alternatively, if anyone is selling a good condition MK16i, let me know!
You'll be fine. I got my arc s from asia and so did a friend of mine The phone will be exactly the same as any other, except for the bloatware that comes with it
Thanks. I'm hoping to be able to unlock the bootloader and/or root it, so I'm not too worried about bloatware. Any others have an opinion on this?
Hey guys. Looking to upgrade to your device from my Samsung S4 i9505. I'm wondering where in Europe I can find this online second hand or new, where is a reputable distributor or online market for Germany, Austria, or Italy? Cheers!
