the international i9000 doesn't have 3g 850 (it has 900 instead of 850). Also, the digital tv thing will only work in brazil due to their tv infrastructure (from what I've heard).
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9000_galaxy_s-3115.php
In this site there are the specifications of the international version of galaxy s, and you can see it does have 2g 850 connection... And about digital tv, what do they mean by that?

Can you read? Where has anyone even mention 2g! We are talking about 3G!
Sorry if I sound harsh, but it annoys me when people don't take the time to actually read what a posts says. 3G! not 2G!
And if you're wondering why anyone cares about 3G 850 is because AT&T uses it among other carriers.

yup, they share the same Digital TV infrastructure as Korea,
but the Korea version is all Asian language, so... no one will understand crap which menu option does what
i wonder if you can flash a Brazil ROM into the Korea phone?
according to their website, it's totally different series Korea SHW-M110S vs GT-i9000 Brazil
http://kr.samsungmobile.com/product...100001&pdMaster=&shape=all&imgMenu=9&onPlay=N
but spec wise it's the same as the Brazil one

I think the DTV specs are different between Brazil and Korea. Korea uses DVB-H, while Brazil uses some wierd standard called ISDB-T.

Korean version has 2 languages, Korean and English. I use English about 98% of the time, I'll flip it over to Korean for voice search in Korean (I really think I shouldn't have to do that, but that's Android) and for my friends to play around with.

sounds remarkably similar to the good old ISDN standards for better than dial up model connections
taking a guess it might be a modified version of ISDN for TV over the air

IPhone goes for similar prices, it's due to three things, last just being a rumor:
taxes
*competition/market size for high end phones @1000 you wont have many *customers (percentage of population-wise), adding an extra 400 won't cost you that many but will raise your profitability by a lot
*bundled services (rumor)
Maybe the needed hardware (except the antenna... obviously) is already in the rests of galaxy s's? Someone has compared the disassembly of both versions? Maybe it can be activated some day lol
If it's in there, hope it is dvb-h (i'm in europe)
this price is not uncommon at all here in brazil. All no-contract phones goes around 1000 US$.
I have tested the brazilian galaxy s and tv reception is fantastic. Worked flawlessly inside a shopping center.
Here in Argentina either. I bought my unlocked SGS (european version) for 900 bucks.
SE messed up and left out the aws band for the Xperia pro and i believe some of the other models of their new lineup. I'm posting here because there is no seperate forum for xperia pro but the question pertains to any of the xperia's.
Does anyone know if there is any way to manually install AWS 1700/2100. For example can you take another Tmobile usa phone like the G1 or something and take it apart and find a chip or part and than try to hook it up to the Xperia Pro. I am so desperate. These phone manufactures leave us no choice. lets face it, Tmobile or the usa carriers for that matter will never get a front facing camera with a physical qwerty phone running android on a world class processor supporting new technologies. That would be too much to ask and everyone would buy it and their network would be bogged down and they wouldnt be ready for this kinda of business. Do they even want to make money? or are they just trying to control us. who doesnt want a physical qwerty? Anyways please help out. AWS band 1700/2100. suggestions...
Well, move to Europe for instance might help I don't get why USA have different band than the rest of the civilised world? I was in the USA in autumn and that was the only downside of the great holiday....

very good point. i have acutally thought about doing this.
You'll enjoy Europe In the US only AT&T has a 'normal' band, and the market for operators on 1700 etc is just too small for Sony Ericsson to create a new phone with another chipset... Even Apple waited years before they released a CDMA iPhone...
there's already a thread on this... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=945017
The phones not even been released yet and we're getting duplicate threads.
One of major differences is that Japanese model has One Seg tv tuner and IR blaster installed. LTE bands are, however, limited to local bands only, so it is not global LTE you can find in models outside of japan.
and btw, it would be available here on Feb 9th, so I guess it will be debut on home turf.
Would like to know what's one seg? I thought it was just an apk bloatware or something lol

For a special network, yes. Completely useless outside Japan.
Did a research lol! And yes it's a tv tuner and what's great was I found the info on a review of HTC Butterfly J
Anyways it's available only on Japan, Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Peru so yeah pretty useless.
But just wondering they all keep saying the devices have the same hardware. So would that mean that even the global Xperia Z has the capabilities of infrared blaster and 1seg but is just disabled?
Japan has a totally different 2G network and seems other network also different...
Wouldn't the network band be altered just by flashing a baseband from another variant?
Even though the Japanese Z seems to have 'extra' features, remember however that since they wont be available outside Japan, development will be very limited, if any. The safest bet would be to go for an 'International' version with an unlocked bootloader.

Well, I am seriously considering getting this phone here in Japan; but I would like to be able to root and flash AOSP as I have done with my Galaxy Nexus, which is the Japanese variant.
I'm looking forward to unlocked bootloaders and AOSP ROMs
Japan has no GSM, it has WCDMA, cdma2000-1x, and LTE as well as an almost totally dead 2G network called PDC.
Japanese one-seg tuners may be able to physically receive south american signals but they can't decode them due to different encodings on the streams. ISDB-T is used in japan. Elsewhere uses a slight variant called ISDB-Tb.
Japanese XZ is supposed to be quad band GSM, triband WCDMA and hexa-band LTE-FDD vs I believe penta-band WCDMA elsewhere.
It's fast!

mot sure but I think all the "w8" have the aws band on hspa+
I am guessing (keyword) that it may be like the Note 3 where Samsung will say no but realistically the phones are all the same regardless carrier. You would just have to unlock a Big 3 phone and you would be good to go.

Try this thread and this Qualcomm NV Calculator app.
Hey everyone, just bought myself one of these and am using it on AT&T in the states (Florida). It came in the mail and i popped my sim in and did a review if anyone is interested in getting one themselves. To summarize it, it works great, although some core assistance apps are stuck in chinese, such as their version of siri app, their own wallet app, etc. The seller (eBay) pre-installed Play Store on it as well somehow, even though the phone had never been used as far as i could tell since i unboxed it. The video covers it all though. Enjoy!
Its a Ceramic White 64GB internal, 4GB RAM.
The model number is MHA-AL00 and the build is B153, was B137 when i first bought it.
Heres the video link

have you ever got an answer to your question ? I am very worried about not getting an AT&T LTE connection on Chinese version (MHA-L00).
thank you in advance.
Why not just get the US version?
Sent from my MHA-L29 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Guys get the US version. The china version will have many issues as it is not certified to run on our networks or infastructure so things like GPS, WIFI and cell signal will not be up to par. Also the China version comes with many tracking software that is required by the Chinese government so it can monitor its people for everything they do.
I have a chinese version MHA-L00
LTE, GPS all works fine
I'm in Canada though, maybe US is different

It is. The US has very strained relationships with China. For a very long time US based satellites wouldn't connect to GPS in Chinese devices. There was also issues with cell signal as some of the OEMs were banned in the country.
Sorry for the late response. Yes I get LTE!

Every company collects data from us, if they get banned is because political reasons. And it is not going to make your wifi,gps and 4g not work because of them being chinese ( this connections are standards ).

Actually it does do just that. Come where I work and your device will die.
It is not political. It is national security. Mainly with the war against China looming. Heck Even the maker of the nexus 6p was banned in the US and India for years for security concerns.
Those connections are not standard. You plainly have no idea what you are talking about. So there is no point in continuing this really.
"Every company collects data from us" This comment is the saddest this anyone can believe. They only collect the data if you dont care about your privacy. Which most people no longer do. Not a surprise really. People are being made to be more docile and obedient.
I love me some tin foil hat talk.
Only reason for Chinese version is for more RAM/storage. Unlock the bootloader and rebrand. Simple.

The networks in the US and in China are most certainly different, but the Chinese model of the Mate 9 supports both. In fact, the US model and the Chinese model are exactly the same, in terms of hardware. Only difference is software.
You can check what is supported and what is not supported just by looking at supported radio frequencies, and compare them to the carriers. A Chinese phone supporting LTE Band 4 will support it in the same way a US-certified phone will support LTE Band 4.

Yeah what he said.
screen mirror / miracast
Can anyone that has a mate 9 confirm whether or not the phone is compatible with screen mirroring / miracast?
My question is does any one have issues with multimedia messages? I just switched to AT&T from Verizon and my Verizon phone has had an issue where I have one minute to open multi media messages or it will expire.
