Is there any practical difference between the international unlocked version and the local NON US version I'd get from my carrier
Also if I get a H815, will I be able to get updates if I keep everything stock?

H815 will get updates faster + got no bloat. Way better than the ones you get from carrier.

I have a friend coming from Europe, might ask her to get one for me.
Are there replacement parts for the 815 available in the states?

I'm going to the states in a few weeks and thinking about buying the At&t unlocked variant to bring back with me to Canada. I figure I will save a few bucks.
Will this phone work over Bell's LTE and will it be able to update OTA's automatically.
Any insight would be great!
Its the phone that's offered here. LTE shouldn't be an issue, not sure about OTA's. Might want to flash it with your carriers firmware.

Does anyone know if there is an way to unlock the sim if you buy it outright from a verizon store.
All verizon phones come unlocked so I bet the tabs do too.

Yes I was able to configure the APN to finally get it working.

i'm really tempted to buy one now. Earlier I was pondering if it was possible to buy it and just put it on the 200mb data t-mobile plan. Seems like JMM2009 confirmed it can work on t-mobile too
I'm sure You could, but you would probably have to set up the line on your account first, then add the apn in the settings.

It's unlocked. I can confirm that.

What are the APN settings for T-Mobile? I'm interested in trying this as I'm leaving Verizon in a couple weeks.

They are different types of carriers AT&T is a GSM carrier where as Verizon is a CDMA carrier so you can only use the verizon tablet with anothe CDMA based carrier ie: T mobie
I seem to get service with these tmobile settings....

What plan did you go with? Are you prepaid?
Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk
I have no plan. I got the sim free from a tmobile promo online. I cut it, tested it and it goes to the activate plans page. Was hoping I could get the free data but need a contract.

I just got back from t-mobile store. I can confirm that the g pad is unlocked and I was able to get 4G/LTE data on my tablet shortly after activation.
I did get the 1gb free plan as it's a promotion until the end of this year but I will keep my free 200mb afterwards

VK810 doesn't have GSM or CDMA radios, just LTE on Bands 4 and 13. Setting it to GSM-only with a GSM SIM card gets you No Service.
Just a question, will a VK810 work in Vodafone Europe (Portugal)?
From my understanding, no, but I will like to be sure.
I'm on cricket cdma, I'll be purchasing a g3 to go on cricket gsm. To one day if i'd like bounce between sprint and new cricket as I please.
Now the dilemma here is which is the g3 that will enable me to do so. That is also unlockable rootable and backupable, as well as has the qi charging backside. (I've only read here and there att ver does not have that)
I'm left with sprints actual g3 t mobile's, or Verizon's....
Please help me in my hunt thanks.

T-Mobile has a unlockable BL according to reports. So that's your best bet and it supports qi.

I meant unlockable in terms of cdma, and gsm capabilities
Would t mobile still be best?
On the other note I have been bartering someone for a locked sprint g3 as low as 400 bucs I figure ill never find it.that low ever for some.time but its locked so is the cheapness worth it ?
just for Korea?

YES. EXCLUSIVELY TO SOUTH KOREA :laugh: Do not expect for 805 version to come abroad...
and no the LTE radios won't work in the US......
Edit - Actually I am not 100% sure the radios won't work in the US. Everything I've read seems to indicate it is only for Korea, but most articles are also focusing on the new LTE-A radio. I haven't seen anything to indicate what other radios are going to be included.
When can we buy one? It will work down here.
The S5 lte-a will work on at&t so I assume the g3 will.

Might need to return this AT&T G3 if this version becomes accessible and has AT&T LTE bands. It's a shame there isn't more information on it

well. this kinda sucks. I just bought the international version less than 1 month ago.
oh well. if It ever came to the local imported market here I will trade. because I do not think this will become the international version any time soon. but who knows.
I will hold out for the 805...we all knew it was coming lol.
801 g3 isnt even out yet here in canada so i can wait awhile longer.

Hey all,
I'm looking to buy this non contract to use with my Tmob $30 5gig plan.
I was looking for the best price and was wondering if it would be possible to get a better deal buying this outright from a carrier and unlocking it myself or if I should get it somewhere else, amazon or something.
I'm also confused by the models as I believe I've seen some with 3 gigs of ram and some with less. I would like to get the best model available, most ram and storage.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rich

I bought mine from www.blackwireless.com and got within 2 days. Phone is international unlocked version without bloatware.
That international unlocked version still has a locked boot loader. Also, this is the 16gig, 2gig ram version - not the 32gig, 3gig ram version. Plus it costs $649 for that version without the SquareTrade warranty.
If I were you I would try to get a 32gig/3gig model from T-Mobile because that is the only one without a locked bootloader. I think the full price from T-Mobile is similar or a bit cheaper even, and that phone will run with about any GSM sim chip just by plugging it in and maybe changing the APN.
Cool. Thanks guys

Wow! Your right! Only $598! I've seen that model for over $700!
I think I'm going to wait a little bit if I can though but not sure. I may just grab this. I don't think I should have an issue using my T-Mobile off contract Sim.
Thanks

You also will not get any wifi calling if you buy a non T-mobile phone, and that's an important feature IMO that's impossible to add layer.
WiFi calling! Cool! Don't have that with the nexus 4!
