I loved Cyprus -- when I was a kid toured around on a motorcycle. Anyway, there are different phones for different markets. The US t-mo phone will (of course) do data on t-mo but also, will work on at&t. It will also work on the more universal 2100 3G frequency for Europe and Asia.
If you buy the typical Euro phone, it does not have the 3G frequencies which work in the USA. On the other hand, any of the phones should connect w/o issue for text and voice.
Make sure, if he's buying on line, he does not get a version designed for some of the Arab language markets which do not have market.

Who's going for the ZL?

The Xperia Z subforum is very active, but this one looks like a ghost town to date.
Anybody thinking of the ZL instead of the Z?
Camera button, IR blaster, smaller frame...
Mater of tastes and choices.

I'm totally getting both

I'm waiting for its US release. If it takes too long, I'll get a Canadian one off ebay provided it's AT&T LTE compatible. If that doesn't happen as well by the end of March or mid-April, I'll simply get an HTC. I already started missing the bigger screen on my HOX that I traded for a TL. So hurry up - Sony.

Ok lol! This is weird how come I can't see this forum on the index page? Same for me I'm planning to get the Xperia ZL. But if HTC One will beat it with the availability on my country then off to HTC One for me.

Me!
I don't need the water/dust proof, getting rid of those flaps would be a good thing for me

I am getting it, more compact plus camera button plus IR, it's going to be my next.

I am looking at getting the ZL as well rather the than the Z but will wait to have a look at the Samsung Galaxy S4 first.

I am getting either ZL, HTC one or S4. Want the AT&T LTE Not a big fan of samsung but their CPU always better and their OS update...

I'm looking to grab ZL and start cooking my own ROMs/kernels once for a change ( I think I'm the only programmer with a diploma that hasn't been an active developer on XDA :| ), but apparently availability is going to be crap, so I might have to get a Z instead :\
GG Sony !

Expect it mid March.

Can't wait to get it here in India; I heard it will be available here in April.
On a sidenote, why is this section not showing up when searching from the forum homepage?!

I can't find this forum on the device search, can the moderator fix this?

I definately will get it as soon as it's available in Canada.
I am hearing talk that the ZL here will launch with s600 instead of s4 Pro. Anyone want to comment?

Source? Pretty sure that both the Z and the ZL will have the S4 Pro.

Rumor comes from esato forums. Also another source on neogaf suggests the Z will launch in North America with S600 as well. This could explain why we're getting so little info on these phones, and why the North American launch is coming2 months after most other markets.

That's the case for the US. The Z launch being later is for other reasons.
Sent from my Sony Xperia™ Z

xperia ZL hasn't been released in Europe either, is it North America exclusive only?

I think I'll get a ZL when it will be available in Switzerland. I hope it will be soon.

If what I've researched is true, Sprint's 4G LTE (A GSM tech) runs on the 1900 MHz band... If this is indeed true I might use some of my tax refund money to get this baby and save my upgrade for another time. I'm weighing my options. I'm also considering the Galaxy Note II, but I'll see.

Well, apparently androidcentral is reporting that the ZL, will have LTE bands working on ATT and T-mobile. If this is true, that would be so awesome! I cannot wait! :laugh:

[Q] Help with G pro ?

Hi guys,
I am living in the UK and want to buy the G Pro and I have seen one on Ebay that I want, the problem is, is that its the Korean varient. (LG Optimus G Pro F240) Would it still work on my Network in the UK?
And what are the differences compared to the european/American models?
It's a bargain at just over £260 so I hope to get it next week!
Thanks.

[Q] LG G3 - Korean model for UK?

Hello everyone!
I've done some reading on the forums (so I hope I haven't missed a similar topic)
and I have a few questions to ask. Being the proud UK owner of a G2, the best phone I've ever used hands down, I am definitely ready to move onto the G3 !
I am seriously thinking of buying the Korean version - 32 Gig, 3 G of RAM sound more futureproof than 16 Gig, 2 for the same price nevertheless. However, I have a few questions for anyone who either has knowledge or has owned a Korean product before.
1) LTE bands and frequence. According to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vodafone_UK#Radio_frequency_summary Vodafone, my provider, uses both band 20 and 7 for LTE. Now there are three LG variants, the L, S and K. According to this: http://optimusforums.com/threads/ko...ide-lte-band-differences-pros-and-cons.13134/ , it's just the L that has one of the two LTE bands used by Vodafone (And seemingly by most UK providers). Am I reading this wrong, or is it that the other two models would not support LTE?
2) Warranty - I guess this goes out to those who have actually owned one In the (un)likely event something goes wrong, what's the process of dealing with it - shipping it back and forth to Korea? I assume LG doesn't support Korean products locally.
3) Modding/Roming. Once more based on : http://optimusforums.com/threads/ko...ide-lte-band-differences-pros-and-cons.13134/, most mods that come out come out for the international models. Is this a reality? I've never been following models/variants much, but is it quite possible that buying from a Korean market may result in me never getting access to the good mods out there?
Thanks for reading, for answering (and for possibly trolling me ), and hope my questions make some sense.

After much Dilemma myself, I was in the same position as you are now in, I couldn't find any info on which model to go for, the F400K or the F400S variant, I spoken to my carrier and they gave me the gsm frequencies (I am in ireland) and then spoken/live chat with the supplier of the LG G3 from Ebay and they also directed me in the right way. I received my Brand New LG G3 F400K yesterday from Korea, and it work brilliantly. From my knowledge here in Ireland we run on the same basebands as you in the UK.
Perhaps the supplier of the phone can also direct you in the right direction, I initially ordered the F400S, but after discussing it with the supplier it became apparent that the F400K was the one for me.
Hope that helps you. I have brilliant 3G coverage here (4G not over here in my location yet) so I cant guide you on this.
Thanks

There is a good youtube video guide here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mj_KUqkH4oQ on Korea models too if your importing. Shows whats in the box and talks about the pros and cons.

How are you finding the brightness and contrast of the screen? I'm debating upgrading from a Galaxy S3. Cheers!
Tapped it!

I wouild definitely upgrade from the S3 to the LG G3, I have had the Samsung S2, S3, S4, HTC One (M7), LG G2 and now the LG G3 and by far its the best phone I have ever owned, admittidely I have only had it a few days, but you can completely see the difference between them, I used to love Samsung, but ever since I had the LG G2 I am now a True LG Fan, Samsung have gone in the way of putting too many gimmicks into their phones, and also releasing different cariants of their flagship, ie, S5, and now S5 prime...etc. Definitely worth the purchase for the LG G3. Well worth the money. Battery life is great, Camera is Awesome, its quick and responsive with the 3GB Ram. The Brightness/Contrast is by far the best I have seen on any phone, The Display is awesome, QHD at its best. I love my G3

Buying HTC One M8 from Aliexpress, question about model.

Hey guys,
Has anyone here bought or had anything to do with Aliexpress? I want to buy an HTC One M8 my self, but I come across different models, which are usually 16/32GB EU and 16/32GB US version. for example: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Unlo...G-WIFI-Quad-Core-5-0-Dual-4MP/1993568822.html
Does anyone know what is the difference between them? Could I still use the US version in Europe? US version is cheaper and has more space (16GBvs32GB).
And if anybody bought from there, what is your experience, was everything okay?
Thanks in advance

useful
Yeah, I want to know too, as prices are significantly lower than ebay, like 20% off
did anyone bought from there?

Read through the feedback, though stars are high. Couple of them are trying to change the faulty devices they received (which is gonna take lot of time). Also, there could be problem with the antenna not working for US LTE bands. By the way, US CDMA (Verizon/Sprint) won't work on this. Also, if it comes with SIM locked version, you will have to do all the research and work (saw recently in M8 forum). Maybe contact the seller and know product ID, network bands etc
