32GB + LTE USA version

I'd like to buy this tablet in 32GB + LTE version but I saw that in Europe (and so in my country - Italy) this version will not be sold so I'm thinking to buy it via eBay in USA.
My friend bought the same version from the same seller and he told me that the tablet is perfect but has not italian language inside. But I don't understand how an official android stock rom has not a particular language. Do you know if it's true? And in that case, since I saw italian version and USA version have the same hw (snapdragon 800), is it possibile to flash the italian stock rom from sammobile? Could I have some problem in future with LTE? And is it region locked?
Sorry for too many questions but I'll spend about $600 so I want to be sure

There isn't and never will be "U.S. versions" of the P601/5. Eventually there will be carrier versions but they'll have MMS and the dialer disabled which is the way the U.S. carriers sell them. If you're considering a P601/5 from a U.S. seller on eBay it's been imported from another country. A lot of them are from Latin America. Any EU version of the P605 should have LTE bands that support Italy. You should make sure what LTE bands any P605 you're considering supports to ensure they are compatible with your specific carrier.

I asked the seller which product code has the tablet and I'm waiting for his answer. Meanwhile I saw sammobile firmware list and it seems there is another variant of this tablet SM-P605M that includes latin america countries. So it could be that model number. But if it's true, is it possible to flash a SM-P605 stock rom on a SM-P605M? Both should have the same hardware specs.

Unfortunately not, I think I heard that Digitec sends in other countries.
But you can have a look here toppreise.ch and check some companies.
But keep in mind, Switzerland is in Europe but not in the EU.
That means you need to pay tax and VAT. So it will be very expensive in the end.
If you live near the border it might be better to do a day trip or holiday weekend.
But then there is the problem with customs when you bring it back....

buying G3 in HK and bringing back to FR

Hi,
I'm on vacation in HK (cool city BTW), wondering if it is possible to buy a G3 there then bringing it back to France? All the functionality ll work? 4G, call, etc.
Thanks you for helping me guys

If the model number is D855 then yes, you may need to change the firmware in order to select the LTE band though. Not 100% sure if the HK model is different to the 855 so you'd need to check it all first to be surr

Hey welcome to hk. to answer your question the G3 sold locally at retail stores are the D855 varient. the bands are as follow.
LTE 800/900/1800/2100/2600
HSDPA UMTS 900 2100
GSM 850 900 1800 1900
You can buy paralle imports since you won't be honored with warranty from LG in France with a hk model phone anyways. they're usually $1000-$1500 HKD cheaper than retail. hope you find what you need!
www.price.com.hk is a good place to start

I am not sure, you would have to check with LG on that part. On a side note, you should get the F460 Cat 6 version since you're in hk. they have them imported from s.korea for around 4700 hkd :laugh:

I don't think the Mi4 is out yet, but you can preorder. I think they'll be available late august, so if you're still in hk, then thats fine.
As for other phones, u can definitely check out the Oppo find 7 or oneplus one which many stores have in stock. i think those are great buys attheir respective prices. Another phone i would look into with ultra thin bezel is the Sharp AQUOS ZETA SH-04F.

Yes they sell mainly the P2c72, which is unfortunately with better hardware (64gb) than P2a42. It will work just fine in Europe, but in US the 4G frequency is different.

all ebay listings sell the chinese variant. I cannot believe there is no availability of the european model (p2a42) online.
I could easily buy the chinese variant and it will work for me for the time being here in Japan, but I wll not be living in Japan forever, when I return to my home country the phone will work only with gsm.... The european model has more compatibility with my home country bands

Check out SuperBuy.my
It is a Malaysian retailer that sells the P2A42 variant. They ship via DHL and many Australians on the Whirlpool forums have purchased there, including me.

Are you sure the 3g/4g frequencies of p2c72 are different than the frequencies in your country? There is a thread in this forum where I mentioned all the differences between p2a42 and p2c72.

I purchased it from this guy and it shipped to the US fine. Its the p2a42 version I would recommend him
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lenovo-P2-G...180128?hash=item2a79bee560:g:4moAAOSw5cNYhae-

Amazon Austria/Germany is selling it. i bought it on another website, for "only" 281€. games2game.at 4GB variant, 32GB Rom. But i don't know, if they will ship to japan. But i got a "french" model. Manual and the package itself is in french, but the phone have all languages. hope there's no problem with warranty, if i need it someday

I do not know how you searched the list I gave above but you are wrong
for instance:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lenovo-P2...528?hash=item44004deec8:g:eek:XAAAOSwsW9Y0P3r
This is italian release P2 4N0106IT. Definitely for Europe
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lenovo-P2...122111?hash=item41bbb5b57f:g:l5UAAOSwA3dYdach
This one is spanish release PA4N0110ES.

Global Rom - where to get PCT-L29 or similar

Hi, from Australia,
I have bought UK based honor phones before, (5C not global rom - so some carriers didnt work) but would like to get an Honor View 20 global version , and know the actual model, so I can check the frequencies on frequency checker website before I buy.
I have tried Amazon India, and also tried Hi Honor, and even emailed Huawei in Australia ( long time Huawei user prior to using Honor 5C) so far no luck .
I did find a PCI-L29 for.. $1219 ,but thats a lot more expensive than the Malaysian / Indian prices.
At this level of price purchase, i am hoping to get the model that works internationally, as I found the PCT -L29 has the right bands for Australia, but very hard to buy.
So I thought this forum would be a great place to make my first post, and see what I can did up for how to buy one. Perhaps someone can share a link , if they have bought a global one.. plenty of ebay ones etc, but when you follow the link... not global .
This isnt just for me, others on some Australian tech forums also would love to know.
Thanks!

I'm in New Zealand using Pct_al10 (bought from India) I can confirm 4g and 3g work full signal on both my sims. I use Spark and Vodafone. You could lookup the bands they use and compare to the ones you need.

Hi Flamery, checked on frequency checker and not suitable (PCT-AL10 ) 5 bands missing for Australia - just in 4g) .
all those bands are available in the global rom.
Glad its working ok for you in NZ.
Maybe somebody else has a source of where I can get the PCT - L29 , or the international version, for less than $1219 AUD

I got mine from the below link. Its a local online shopping portal. Usually discount coupons are given near weekends or every few weeks. Coupons will be something like $100 off minimum $800 purchase. Which will offset the price from $829 to $729 for the 8gb model. Its local set, so warranty is only for Singapore, n region is Asia, so asia rom. I'm not sure if they do overseas shipping, u can ask them through the portal.

I have bought other phones from red white mobile previously, not sure about mobyshop.

im from germany and bought a PCT-L29 last week for 490€.
Generally most devices sold over here are PCT-L29.
if you want links to sellers send me a pm since i cant post links

I obtained mine (PCT-L29) from Technolec, from eBay. They are an authorized reseller and have been great to work with.

Hello there. I have a big question.
I have the Chinese Variant which is PCT-AL10. Is it ever possible to install РСТ-L29 Global ROM on it by the aforementioned procedure? I have NO idea if the hardware is different or just the ROMs!
