Honestly the only difference I can see is that they import this one from Canada instead of the UK. Other than that it should be the same exact device. It's just likely to have a different ICS build.

The canadian version won't be straight yakju. you can just flash it no problem. its a damn good price. Even better if you get $15 more off the top. Mine arrives tomorrow.

I really don't care about the stock because I root when i turn the phone on But what i am understanding from what u said is I can flash any stock on canada version. correct? I really like the price. this will save me at least 40$. The thing is I don't want to be behind with updates also if I want back to stock. by the way canada version is made in china not korea

Who cares where its made. its fine lol.
Yes, Just flash the stock images from google (guides all over the place). At that point your phone will have an unlocked bootloader and yakju software. Then you can proceed to root.

They killed the "GIFT" coupon on the CAN $595 nexus the day after they started the sale. I got it because I bought right after the sale started, but they announced on twitter early the next day they were killing it.
OP, if you can pick it up for $580 shipped I think that's a pretty damn good deal.

You can get a 3rd party insurance on it I'm sure if you want full coverage.
Negri helps facilitate warranty exchanges with the international Samsung factory warranty for you if you'd like. But that doesn't cover accidental damage or anything. That's just a factory defect warranty.

That one doesn't work for the Galaxy Nexus. As said earlier they killed that deal. However it still works for other devices.
OK guys. thanks for the information. I ordered it for 580$ hopefully it's good like the Europe one
Im a little late getting this phone, could be this 16th that i order it, could be March, obviously im pulling for the 16th.
Now I've been loading Negri's site everyday to see the current price of the 16 GB titanium silver one, as thats probably going to be the cheapest.
now i see they also sell the "Canada version" >Seen Here<
And im wondering the differences from UK version? and why its cheaper? import taxes less?
Also: What do you guys think the white Galaxy Nexus will be when it is launched? and how much do you think it'll drop the titanium/silver version too?
Probably been asked before, but now im asking again.. sorry

I have the device. Its from Canada, not the UK, so they got a better deal on them obviously and are able to sell for less (got a better wholesale price and saved on shipping probably). I also think they're saving because the charger in the box works in the USA, whereas with the UK version they had to include a USA charger separately.
There are a few small coupons rolling around that can take $10-$20 off that price also. And standard FedEx shipping with Negri is always free.
It is not yakju, it's a yakju** variant (updates a couple weeks behind, read up on it). I flashed mine to yakju 4.0.2 right after I bought it no problem. Everything is great.

It'll probably be around $675 if I had to guess. They can't make any promises. you'll find out in a week. I had it on pre-order at $680, but it just wasn't worth it when I got my Titanium from them for $565.
It won't really effect the Titanium price. They're separate items and the white one is just more expensive because its new and exclusive. You'll see price drops of the Titanium regardless of the white being available just because its getting older.

4G???
Sellers are advertising i9250's they say will work on GSM 700, AT&T's "4G" LTE service. Can this be true, or false advertising?? Uh, never mind. Did a search, should have known better. Guess HSDPA+="4G".

LTE and hspa+ Are both considered 4G.
The I9250 version only supports hspa+. Verizon one is LTE but only works on their network.

Ouch, their site is showing the CAN version in stock again . Not a big price diff though.
I've been wanting a HTC One X for a while now. I was going to get the North American version, but 16GB just won't cut it (I have about 7GB of music itself, and that's always increasing). So I turned to the international version. The thing is, I've been reading about a lot of problems. Is it worth buying if there are so many problems with the international version? Also, does anyone know if I can buy the international version online off contract? I checked Amazon, but they only sell it without warranty. I don't think it's worth taking the risk, buying it without warranty. Any input is appreciated!

But I'm going to be buying new, from an authorized seller. So I wouldn't have to check for anything right. If something is wrong, I could get a replacement. The only problem is I don't know who sells it unlocked and off contract with warranty. :s

Okay thanks a lot! GSM Nation is actually cheaper than my local carrier. Thanks for your help.
EDIT: Sorry guys, but this coupon code is no longer valid. But it was fun while it lasted, huh. Also, as of 10/8 Negri has increased their price for the unlocked T-Mobile Note 3.
Went to Negrielectronics. Their price is $689, and I used a coupon code (NE20OFFCART) for $20 off, for a total of $669. This is considerably less than T-Mobile's unlocked cost ($704+tax). I got free shipping (Fedex Ground) and no tax as well.
Availability shows as 10-4-13, so i'm hoping that mine ships no later than Monday, as i'm probably not in the first batch of pre-order shipments. EDIT: Now says 'Coming Soon'.
Negri's website now shows the White T-Mobile Note 3 as 'In Stock' with 'Add to Cart' (instead of 'Preorder'). The Black version, however, still says 'Preorder'. Also, Negri's blog (http://goo.gl/iTQyTv) states that the first orders are being shipped out as of yesterday (9/8), and at least one person has stated in this thread that they have received their tracking number.
If you have received your tracking number, please post below with your pre-order date, which color you ordered, as well as your expected delivery date. It will help people figure out where they are in the queue.
Forget all of the above. I have cancelled my order with Negri Electronics. After three weeks of waiting for them to ship, Negri posted on their blog and basically confirmed what many of us have suspected for the last couple of days. Negri is buying their devices from shady suppliers who are selling them used devices. This has resulted in at least of couple of people who thought they were getting NEW Note 3s actually having their devices BLACKLISTED on T-Mobile. In addition, at least one person has received a device rooted with Knox tripped (and thus a voided warranty).
I was willing to put up with the three week delay (though now I feel like an idiot for doing so), but these new issues are unacceptable in my opinion.

Would this be a unlocked bootloader, region unlocked US version?
I went to the store but when they told me the device was locked I decided to buy at Negri's to save me the trouble.
Has anyone with the TMo version verified its locked?

Thank you for the reply, Reading here on XDA the T-mobile US phones did not have the region lock stickers on them, thats why I was wondering.

delayed shipping
FYI, after talking with the CSR, it looks like the 10/4/13 delivery date is delayed until a week later on 10/10/13.
So will this be the same version, in essence, that i would get directly from tmo? For example, will the negri version still have wifi calling and come in the tmobile packaging?

It came to $749 plus tax from the Google store. Amazon shows slightly higher but there are refurbs cheaper and are most likely bootloader locked (no root). Honestly I do not trust Amazon sellers all that much and you probably won't get a two year warranty like Google. I fixed the screenshot in my previous post.

You need to be very sure where he got it from if rooting and unlocking are important to you. If it was any where other than the Google store you won't be able to do that.

If the phone was purchased on BF then it will be bootloader locked since it was from Verizon. Google didn't have a BF deal. But you might be confusing bl unlock with carrier unlock. You might want to check that. Rooting is only important if you want to modify the device from stock.

It's only important if you want to root it. Let me be more clear. It is SIM unlocked, they all are no matter where they come from.
I was speaking of bootloader unlocking, which is needed only for rooting and modifying. If that isn't important to you, you are all set no matter where it came from.
I just got my pixel 2xl off eBay for $465. It is pretty and fast and a great deal.
Wow that's low. That's with the Labor Day discount going on right?

Tonik, your distinction between bootloader/sim unlock is super helpful to me. It's essential I have a rootable phone, I use my smartphone as my primary internet connection at home with my grandfathered unlimited plan.
Is there a particular model number of Pixel 2 that I should be looking for (in the used market) that would designate is as having come from Google as opposed to one of the carriers? When I rooted my Galaxy S6 (model G920P, which I believe pegs it to Sprint) 3 years ago, I realized too late that there were only very few custom roms for my specific device, and this was terribly disappointing after having come from a Sprint Nexus phone using the glorious Dirty Unicorns rom.

When I rooted my Galaxy S6 (model G920P, which I believe pegs it to Sprint) 3 years ago, I realized too late that there were only very few custom roms for my specific device, and this was terribly disappointing after having come from a Sprint Nexus phone using the glorious Dirty Unicorns rom.

Unfortunately the model numbers are the same. Imei will tell you but the seller isn't going to give you that. Or you can get a pick of developer options from the seller. There is a slider that allows oem unlock. It needs to be blue.
