Car Warehouse UK is selling it on launch day, it makes sense to believe that others will follow suit (info points to at&t and Verizon for sure but nothing on Sprint and T-Mobile yet)

It would be really smart of HTC to have a worldwide launch on the 25th and get a 2 week head start on sales before the S5 attracts the sheeple.

Take this with a grain of salt...
Called a local T-Mobile store and they said they'll have plenty of stock on Tuesday! So, all these rumors of availability on launch day may be very true.

My buddy works for Verizon corporate here in Southern California. It will be available in stores here March 25th, Tuesday. Can't speak for the rest of ya but i'm sure this gives you a clear picture, no BS here. Personally i'm still gonna wait out a few weeks to see the online reviews and what not. Don't get me wrong, i'm buyin this mofo. Just saying, nice to see all the reviews, give the case companies time to actually have cases in stock to order and ship, etc. etc. Sometimes first product runs have issues as we all know so just going to wait a few to see how it goes then diving on in! Can't wait, specs that are confirmed are enough for me to buy hands down!

Ask them about the S5. I think people forget that Samsung's carrier is T-Mobile literally. Reason why T-Mobile were one of the last to get the M7, pushin those Samsung devices hard as their number one baby! I think if T-Moblie didn't have Samsung the way they do they would be out of business by now or a pre paid Virgin mobile type of company. How Sprint is still in business is beyond me.

Guess well all see tomorrow but quoting your link, " That is – of course – if this information turns out to be true." If so I doubt the S5 will make much of a splash when people see both phones in store as this will be available first again if true.

Its more than likely true. Online exclusive, however. Which is going to piss off jump customers, like myself.

I'm 99% gonna get the new One but a very small part of me is holding back and gonna wait for the first reviews on here like I did when I got the HTC One M7 last April

Don't say "fast delivery" to one who ordered on 15th of September and will get the phone on 3rd of October (estimated date).

Well its android.. If u want an 'total' 'secure' phone go with Apple... Nothing wrong with the company
Got my phone in 4 days. I ordered it the moment that it was in stock again..

Apple isn't the only secure option at all. Google Nexus phones have been equally secure and received consistent security updates
Even blackberry is beginning to offer this, but that remains to be seen.

What? Simply because Apple encrypted devices some years before Android doing the same?
OnePlus is encrypted by default, like Nexus devices.
Nothing to blame, Android is trustable and untrustable like Apple at all.
Backdoors and security issues are existing everywhere, even for spying reasons.
The only variant is the collaborative Google policy with local authorities, at the opposite of Apple (surely for a marketing reason, because they aren't so nice people).
My suggestion:
1) If you are a normal user: consider to require pattern/password at bootup, making device unaccessible even in recovery mode;
2) If you are a terrorist: go with proxy, Tor relaying, stay away from Google account, use a restrictive firewall and so on [emoji6]

Given how much modding goes on with the OP3 I assume somebody on the XDA-Developers forum would have a "backdoor" by now if one existed?
OP have also just agreed to supply handsets to mobile network O2 in the UK, so I assume they are happy that OP are a reputable company.

In my opinion it is very trustworthy.
I ordered my device June 21st, and received it 2 days later. I have never used a smartphone like this one before, it's very fast, customizable and has a good battery life.
Untill now I have yet to discover any bugs.
Also the warranty is very good.

Locked down doesn't equal security. I'd argue the open source nature of Android makes it more secure, as just about anybody can audit it.

Don't trust anyone in this business. Neither Google, nor Apple, nor Microsoft, nor Samsung, nor Oneplus nor anyone else.
Follow the simplest rules of privacy and security, use security software such as Orbot, AFWall+, Xprivacy, don't click on everything in the net. The rest is hope.

What's in a name? Toasted Marshmallow!

I suppose that for us diehard Note keepers, we can say goodby to the idea of ever seeing Nougat? If Samsung says to return them all, I can't imagine they'll continue to support it.

Unfortunately this whole new return thing is U.S. only. Samsung Canada us playing dumb directing me to the "latest news" on their site praising the new safe Note 7s.
If there is a second recall in the U.S. hopefully Canada follows suite.

Number 1 reason this whole thing sucks for me.
I am a Pilot with Air Canada.
During recall #1 when Samsung Canada was slow to react saying nothing was wrong with their phones I literally had to ask "are you willing to take the risk of my Note 7 having an incident in my flightdeck" to get somewhere.
I used an old phone until my replacement was ready ( I ordered directly from Samsung Canada and they refused to issue me a loner saying my phone was safe to keep using, even while I told them I AM AN AIRLINE PILOT). I have been using my new Note 7 but now I will have to stop again.
Yet again, Samsung Canada is behind the times (and will continue to be) and told me TODAY that my new Note 7 is perfectly safe and I should continue using it. Once again, telling them I AM AN AIRLINE PILOT went wooosh, right over their heads.
I am getting tired of this. If there is a second recall I am demanding a full refund for the phone and all accessories.

So, if you are pilot, you should never carry any device wilth lithium batteries, ANY lithium batt operated device has the chance of a burning event

I think OS updates are over rated anyway. I rarely update my devices - they are usually one, at most two year devices and if an update does come within the time I actually use the device, it usually has bugs that need to be worked out the first couple months and rarely is there enough upgrade anyway. Sometimes it makes the phone worse. I am on my original custom ROM on my Note 4 Dev edition. Disabled OTA apk's via titanium. I have disabled OTA's on my N7 via Package Disabler. Neither my replacement N7 nor my original N7 did I take the battery "fix" OTA. I froze that first off on my new N7 even though it had downloaded it I never installed the update. So I have no reason to take a VZ OTA and now I can root my N7 if I want to. Doubt that would effect the recall if I have to send my N7 back. I am fine with MM. I am fine with this phone as is - best phone in the world is good enough for me.

Ah your one of the "your over reacting" or "shouldn't have any electronics" morons.
Our Electronic Flight bags (EFBs) are Ipads, they have lithium batteries. And you would want a job where you are gone a week at a time with no cell phone to contact your Family?

which is the best to get EVR-AL00 or EVR-AL29 and why ?

hey guys, hope you all are well and enjoying your devices.
I am about to buy a new phone to replace my samsung galaxy note and the mate 20 x 4g is the most attractive device for me right now, i do have quite a few options within the same budget range
the mate 20 x 128gb for 579 euro ( global ) or the 256gb chinese version for 666 euro which isnt so far above the global standard one or the samsung galaxy note 9 128 gb for 620 euro or one plus 7pro for 660 euro for the 256 gigs version.
my wife is currently in germany and i will be asking her to buy it from there since its not available here.
tbh the mate x is the one that makes me wanting to buy a new phone but anything else can wait so there for comes my question, which version of the mate x should i buy and why ?
i will be using the device between egypt and germany . the chinese version seems very appealing for the more ram and storage. i am not an intense gamer by any means and i dont need the 256 as i never have filled my note 64 gigs, the thing to me is more about long term usability and mostly the ram more than the storage and having my phone smooth for my usage .
i dont play games on my phone bc they kinda lag and lag annoys the heck out of me, i use uber most times am on the road and definitely google maps, google search/ now for my searching for whatever and nova launcher as my most loved launcher for years now and always went back to it, gmail as my default email ,social media ofc fb, whatsapp, instagram, twitter, youtube and definitely watching something on the go or viewing pics ( i always have lots of pics on my phone ) , music and for sure photography, rarely shoot videos. i also use swiftkey as my main keyboard with only arabic, english and german on it.
i have my note 5 rooted and debloated from every useless app that i never use or would ever need and it does help keeping my phone somehow fast and light
please if you can state clearly what problems have you ever had with the chinese model ? or what do you like about the chinese model that makes it worth buying ?
are the issues on the chinese version easy to ignore for the sake of more storage and ram and also the ota updates that seems similar ?
were you able to remove chinese bloatware and enjoy a similar experience to global ?
how good is the screen specially its only fhd+ ? and how is smooth is your experience with the 6gb ram ? specially if playing demanding new games .
i usually keep my phone for quite a long period of time, i have my note for 4 years now. I like the mate for the ginarmous 7.2, small bezels, flat screen (no useless side curves ) , am an architect with ocd so symmetry is a big freaking deal,the huge battery, small notch, physical fingerprint reader, somehow manageable price , it fits most of my design elements and also budget , so your answer will really matter, will definitely appreciate more clear direct details, thank you in advance guys and sorry for my long post

I love my EVRL29 version...this is by far the best phone I have used hands down.
I purchased mine from Amazon.com and have the protection of Amazon. I purchased the AL00 first as I had the EVRL29 previously (6 months ago but sold it to get the P30Pro) but I ended up missing my Mate 20X so much I had to sell my P30Pro and get back to my Mate 20X. The AL00 was easy to remove the bloat etc but I couldn’t get all Google to work including some of the Google back ups. I couldn’t get Google Pay to work but actually activating the Google apps was very easy. I had to return the AL00 though as I just didn’t want a fantastic phone that only half worked...maybe not half but you get the picture. I reordered from the Amazon.com dealer and the phone was shipped the following day Thursday and I had it in my hands Friday afternoon. The pick up time was Thurs at 3pm and delivered the next day by noon, from Hong Kong to Victoria, B.C literally overnight. Anyways I also have received 4 updates since I got the phone and I would 100% get the EVRL29 model as everything works including Google Pay, back ups, everything...I love this phone!

i get it, am just intrigued by the more ram and storage which is always good to have, can you use nova launcher ? am not planning to root at all thats aside for the mostly locked bootloader etc and seems on the chinese one cant use nova and gotta stick to huawie, am planning to change the dpi if possible like on my note to get more of the screen etc.
what are the issues you have ran into from the chinese model ? aside from what you mentioned ofcourse

I am pretty sure you can run Nova on it, I seem to recall having it on my old mate 20 x.
The AL00 had issues such as getting the updates I would have to have Hicare set up and set to China as the region then click on updates to 'request' the download then have to go to system updates to see if it actually was there. With the EVR-L29 it just shows up in the updates OTA with no effort. The notifications never fully worked as you wouldn't get the ability to expand the notification, you would just click on it and it would take you to the app for example and you couldn't delete the notification.
Like I said for me anyways, it only ever half worked.

so , am leaning towards the international version now after the research i made , but do you think this phone or worth getting ? i dont have a chance to experience it in person and only seen it in videos ...
have you noticed pixels in the screen ? and what about gaming , can it handle anything ? honestly i have always wanted such a ginormous phone with tiny bezels and nothing on the market comes close specially at this price point but the screen does kinda worry me

Get the China Version. More RAM and Storage. The screen is FANTASTIC. It's one of the best things about the phone. Plus it gets updates way faster. Updates are OTA. U don't need Hi Care. Getting the Chinese Bloat off is simple. Many threads on here to assist u. I'm in Canada and have had zero issues. Best phone BY FAR I've ever had.

After researching a lot about the differences, am convinced with the Chinese version despite the fact that I don't need the extra storage. My only issue right now is if buying it is the right decision at the moment specially with the huawie ban and I don't know how things will go in the soon future. This is the only phone on the market that makes me feel am getting more than the typical.

Honestly if the phone never got another update. It would still be a keeper. It's that good. I've had this phone almost a year and even loaded with apps and music. It's as fast has the day I got it. No other phone I've owned( Sammy, LG, Google) did that. They all slowed down. Pull the trigger. U won't regret it.

Thanks for this info, though I am 2 months late in seeing this.
I'm also contemplating if were to go for the China version due to the 256GB storage. However after much research on XDA and in fact everywhere on the net, I saw there are several challengers for me to overcome with the china version. A summary of my findings as follows. Appreciate if you have further insight.
China version and Global version bands are exactly the same. This is a plus point.
China version no playstore but can be easily installed. Another plus point.
China version bootloader can be unlock => but no use as huawei stopped providing unlock code since last year(?). Even paid unlock code no longer work or are for sales. While L29 don't even have any function for OEM unlock. Therefore this point is a tie between China vs global.
China version "access to voice match" doesn't work and no solution found on XDA to-date. Its okay for me since voice unlock in not necessary but a good to have. So I'm leaving this as a tie.
china version widevine L3 no HD netflix. Not a showstopper for me as I can just stop watching netflix on mobile and turn to downloading and playing tv series via VLC.
China version does not allow replacing launcher. For me, changing to Nova prime is a must have. And this is a likely show-stopper. Although there are method on XDA to use ADB to uninstall the huawei launcher but along with that the stock full navigation gesture is lost. Got to separately install fluid gesture, full screen gesture, etc. app but those aren't as smooth as original huawei gesture.
China version problem with google pay or adding international visa/mastercard even though NFC is working. Can't find any other info around this if it is really a problem.
China version hivoice and hiboard even though can be uninstall via ADB but needs to be uninstall each time after every update. Further problem - after replacing hivoice with google voice assistance, android will keep asking for default assistance prompt once google voice assistance auto closed. Currently no way to make google voice assistance persistent. Not even pinning in recent menu cause it to stay open.

China version bootloader can be unlock => but no use as huawei stopped providing unlock code since last year(?). Even paid unlock code no longer work or are for sales. While L29 don't even have any function for OEM unlock. Therefore this point is a tie between China vs global.
China version "access to voice match" doesn't work and no solution found on XDA to-date. Its okay for me since voice unlock in not necessary but a good to have. So I'm leaving this as a tie.
china version widevine L3 no HD netflix. Not a showstopper for me as I can just stop watching netflix on mobile and turn to downloading and playing tv series via VLC.
China version does not allow replacing launcher. For me, changing to Nova prime is a must have. And this is a likely show-stopper. Although there are method on XDA to use ADB to uninstall the huawei launcher but along with that the stock full navigation gesture is lost. Got to separately install fluid gesture, full screen gesture, etc. app but those aren't as smooth as original huawei gesture.
China version problem with google pay or adding international visa/mastercard even though NFC is working. Can't find any other info around this if it is really a problem.
China version hivoice and hiboard even though can be uninstall via ADB but needs to be uninstall each time after every update. Further problem - after replacing hivoice with google voice assistance, android will keep asking for default assistance prompt once google voice assistance auto closed. Currently no way to make google voice assistance persistent. Not even pinning in recent menu cause it to stay open.

Thanks for your reply. I would have gone for L29 too had it not be the 256gb storage way too tempting... lol

Oh yes I know the temptation about the storage and ram but man I just love nova even tho after dealing with the stock launcher I would have been fine with it, I also had a note 5 64 gigs that I never used it all so I now have like 70 gigs free on my phone [emoji16].
Also I didn't want to have to go through lots of workaround for somethings specially soon I will move to Germany and want everything to work with no hassle especially banking stuff.
Also if I wanted to get the cn version I would have to get it from China which to me is a risk I do t see no point in taking.
And after seeing the bundle offer on Amazon UK, I was all decided.
So after having the phone, the extra ram and storage would have been useless to me.

Question Where is the March update?

First Monday of the month is typically when the updates hit, isn't it?

Also, it should be Feature Drop time. But no mention of it anywhere. Maybe just small update to come or there will be one next Monday?

Not until 1pm EST.

They confirmed it's delayed again

Delayed, plus the "feature drop" consists of some mediocre Snapchat stuff, an oversized battery widget and a couple stickers. The Pixel 6 turns into a disappointment. Non-existent feature drops, massive bugs, delayed updates... not a good track record.

Bipolar chat in the forums.. 13 Dev 2 comes out Thursday. I would think it will be out by the 15th or so latest.

Google really is starting to disappoint me with this phone. Bugs in connectivity, late updates you name it ... Expensive phone too.
Put me off Google I must admit I am starting to regret buying this phone.

I'm starting to regret it too, but we don't have many other options. Chinese phones that I refuse to buy, or Samsung phones that throttle apps. Right now they are all bad.

Hehe. It's funny.
U can see similar post in every phone topic.
Before use OnePlus 7pro and and was exactly same
When updating not on time.

There's no other phone worth considering. OnePlus is dead and Samsung has too much bloat and baggage.
I'm sticking with Pixels because at least I know my monthly updates will improve firmware, not just bump security patch level. And they will come every month. I don't worry too much about the delays, but it's a bad look.

I'm agreed with u.
But must be a reason for delay

Every day another reason to regret getting a 6 Pro. WTF was I thinking?

The update rolls out at different times per region doesn't it? That's something to take into account. There could be technical issues of some sort that's causing any sort of delay too.
Just have some patience yall it'll come soon enough

The pixel 6 Update is officially delayed by Google. They say later this month. Meaning it has nothing to do with a technical delay for a couple hours.

This is turning into a running joke.

Just one answer for "Where is the March update?" - in March
Sorry I had to

I would rather have a late update that's secure and stable than a bug fest with open back doors.
However looks pretty poor.

If 12L is delayed that means 13DP2 will not be available for p6 series as well.
