Cant find a 16GB Omnia 7 anywhere, i heard it was gonna be in Germany. Just wondered as wanted to know if i could find out exactly what NAND memory they are susposed to be using for it. If i find out, ill be tempted to remove my 8GB memory and solder in the 16GB NAND memory. If it dosnt work, ill just have to send it in to the service repair centre..... hey wait a minute, couldnt i just send it in to them and ask them to do it for me so i dont void my warranty??
I am hoping that the 16GB Omnia 7 is the one destined for Verizon with LTE compatability.
unfortunately i doubt it. you already have the focus which is pretty much the same inside except it has the microsdslot! so your best bet is to get the focus!

The Focus is on AT&T, I am talking about Verizon. Verizon has had all the other Omnia's (i910 and i920) so I don't see why they wouldn't get the 7. I am just hoping it will be compatible with the new LTE network that will be up and running in my area. (plus an expandable memory slot )
Well it's definitely true that all the Omnia 7 in germany seem to have 16GB as they are already available in most online shops here. But sadly I couldn't find anyone who has this device atm.
The 16GB version is now widely available in Germany.
Many online shops got them. Some of they say it's the Tmo branded one, but they are still sim-lock free and the only branding that will not go away, is the start screen animation (there is no hardware branding).
Yes,
i have bought one yesterday in a t-mobile shop.
Without a phone plan from t-mobile. When you buy it in the shop it coast´s more than in the online shop of t-mobile.de. There you can buy the Samsung Omnia 7 also without a phone plan.
The Omnia 7 has 16 GB. It is a nice device. Very fast.
No reboots like the user of HD7 reports and really nice display.
I have fun with this device
care to link to any of those stores? i only find them on ebay.
Here are some links. Dont know about shipping though. Just drop them a line and they should ship it internationally.

You can only get them in Germany for some reason.

Cool, I just asked about that in the Omnia 7 thread... Anyone knows if one of these shops sells branding free (hardware and software)?
Amazon doesn't mention if it's 8GB or 16GB
There are no branding free omnia 7 phones here in Germany. They all come from tmobile.
But, you can delete all the installed tmobile apps. The only thing that stays is the tmobile boot up logo (max. 3 seconds) and the search page IN the internet explorer when you press the hardware search button. Mms seems to be locked to tmobile so far too.
There is NO hardware branding on the device itself. No stickers, nothing. The package comes also unbranded and tmo is not even mentioned anywhere.
I'm using the phone with a german o2 sim so its not simlocked either. Overall I would buy the phone again in a heart beat if I had to chose. Impressed with everything so far and eagerly waiting for the 1st update

Does anybody know if an unlocked Omnia 7 16GB purchased in Germany would work fine in France (language, network, etc...) ?
Thank you very much.

Yes, the device is unlocked, you can put any carrier sim into it and yes you can switch regional format & language to french. Be aware that only T-mobile branded devices have 16 GB of storage - the unbranded have only 8 GB. Fortunately a lot of shops sell the branded devices without a contract. I'd recommend to flash the I8700XXJK1 Firmware found in the Omnia 7 forum to unbrand the device. You will also receive faster updates from Microsoft with an unbranded device because they don't have to be approved by the carrier.

Would this firmware work oke with the 16GB version? (as its normally flashed onto 8GB versions)
I'd love to habe the 16gb Omnia - my Provider (A1 Austria) does only have the 8GB version...
Hey, my buddy is trying to find the Omnia 7 (unlocked and unbranded) but isn't able to find anything. Everywhere he looks it's branded, and so he (and I) are doubtful about it being unlocked as well.
Appreciate any help from anyone in the region who's been successful at picking one up.
belsimpel.nl or dynabyte.nl
Pdashop.nl
That's where I ordered my Trophy 7,
Great service, good delivery.
Thanks guys, just curious. Upon first startup. Was the setup in Dutch or in English?
I got mine from ExpanSys.nl, mine is T-mobile Germany branded (only a boot logo before the normal boot one, plus some T-mobile software). My Setup was in German, then I changed it in English. There is no dutch language available.
Well, out of those 4. Looks like belsimpel is the cheapest @ 493, and ExpanSYS is the most expensive @ 555.
Just curious about the language now. Since yours was a German T-Mobile, I suppose it would have to be in German on setup. But what if it was unbranded? Hope someone can answer that for me.
some languages are not supported at release,
The support for dutch language will be available in 2011 (april if i'm not mistaken) But the only thing i miss is the dutch spell correction, I'm more a fan of the english menu's
The initial setup of mine was english, it's a vodafone branded device.
Unbranded, English in Netherlands.
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

I'm getting it tonight or tomorrow morning. I'll tell u then but it is sure it will not be branded.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
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 all,
I am considering buying a used Galaxy S2 from Amazon UK. It is listed as Sim-free and seller confirms it works with all UK providers.
As it is Sim-free does that mean it will work with my Belgian provider (proximus) also?
I'm kinda new to this stuff.....

The hardware of OP5T is the same everywhere around the world. Band 20 is on the supported band list for Chinese OP5T, you can check it on OP's cn cite.
Chinese OP5T ships with Hydrogen OS, as there is no Google service in China. You can flash the phone to Oxygen OS without much trouble.
I have no idea of warranty situation outside China. You might want to contact your local OnePlus service for that information.
Hi Michael,
I heard we need to buy it online even in China.
If you managed to find retailer store, can you please let me know ?
Thanks.

Hi,
Greetings from Bangladesh. I wanted to buy Oneplus 5t from China. I am having trouble with it's Hydrogen OS. My friend will buy and ship this phone from China to my country, but problem is that he says in China its only Hydrogen OS and my friend has no idea about any phone's ROM functionality. So, if he buys from China, does it have English language on that device for changing it's ROM? Because I will change it's ROM personally and I have no idea about Chinese language. Please reply and I will be glad.
Thanks :laugh:

I do remember that the user is presented with a language selection page when you boot the phone for the first time. The page is in Chinese though, with one drop down list of usable language. I haven't tried using HOS in English, but I think you can.
Then you can enable OEM unlocking in developer options and proceed to unlock the bootloader then flash the ROM you like.
I bought this phone online in China.
Download the Oxygen OS from the OnePlus site. Install it onto your phone's hard drive. Flash it from recovery. It was very simple to do.
