AND they claim no warranty. Oh sign me up!
That's about what you pay in Europe, u didn't think you could get it cheaper, did you?
Nice and all but the problem is, even if it were $600, you would not get a 3G connection here in the states due to the radio in the device.
they have the US version here.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00480P67K
but they want an arm and two legs for it.
I don't see where it says that it's phone is enabled....
I just checked with Sprint, they wanted $550 without plan. So can this be unlocked?

638.546 USD <<< thats what the tab costs unlocked in the UK with 2 year warranty

Will international version make\receive calls in the USA?
I don't want to carry two devices but want a tablet.
this one is supposed to do both...

Depending on which US carrier you'll be using, it would be better to buy a carrier-specific Tab and then flash it with a modem/rom that enables voice calling.

Hey Everyone,
So I live in Germany but I will be visiting the USA for Thanksgiving weekend. I am contemplating buying the Tab for $550 at Best Buy on black Friday. So if I find it worth it, should I get the Sprint or T-Mobile one? Or can I even use either of them unlocked so I can use 3G with my German Fonic SIM card (I think it uses the O2 networks)?
Thanks
T-Mobile US and AT&T are your only options. You will have to SIM unlock them.
Sprint and Verizon use their own wireless transmission protocol that is, with a few exceptions, incompatible with the rest of the world. In particular, no SIM card
The biggest issue you will find is the lack of phone functionality on the US models.
You should however be able to flash a Euro firmware, and it's quite likely that you get both phone and 3G data on a European network. I couldn't definitively state that this is the case though!
Caveat Emptor!
Regards,
Dave
OK, so you think I would be able to get T-Mobile version, and it should work with the 3G connections in Europe? And if so, can I easily unlock it and put in my SIM card as I have done with other American smartphones I use here?
Thanks
I think you're better of getting the AT&T Tab since it will have the UMTS 850, 1900, 2100 bands, EU uses the 2100, you will have to flash the eu rom on it though... Wait, the TMO Tab also has 2100... IDK someone will have to chime in...
Here's a comparison of the US models and the international Tab:

You might double check.... cus based on my local store and the best buy website... they are only selling Verizon and Sprint tabs... I don't think the will be selling Tmos, according to a Best Buys rep.
But of course Tmo should have them in stock...
If the standard Euro Tab is available in your airport departure lounge, you should be able to pick one up on your outward bound journey VAT free. It might still be more expensive than a US one, but not by much (assuming they are priced similarly to the UK) and would probably be a better bet all round.
Regards,
Dave

for the sim free version in the US its gonna be $529 and for the same sim free version in the UK its gonna be £549
Using google currency converter i found the US version to be £220 cheaper ($330)
Would it be possible for me to buy a US version and get it shipped to UK to use here since they essentially are both the same?
thanks in advance for the replies guys

I think you might find that the US version is aimed at T-Mobile which means that the 3g frequency would be wrong for the UK, edge would work ok. If they come out with an ATT version, then that one would probably work ok on 3g in the UK.

actually its the other way around. T-mo version works fine in Europe, but not att. att uses 850mhz band, while T-mo and europe uses 900mhz.
so yes, it will work fine in UK

Yes. ATT and TMO use sims in their phones. I don't know if the nexus s is a micro sim like the iphone4 is though.
Yes, it's Sprint or Verizon (or both) than can't take a SIM. AT&T/T-Mobile use SIMs.

You can't compare an iPhone tariff to an Android one, Apple take a huge cut and are ridiculously priced for handset and tariff. Try comparing the same phones in the UK and US and you'll see a big difference.
As far as I know, all Google Nexus phones are unlocked by default.
Im suprised that Nexus S (£550 = about 650 EUR) costs more than iPhone 4 in EU (£500). Also it costs much more than SGS (420 EUR here) or even Desire HD (540 EUR).
Telus will let you buy it online outright for a whopping $779.
Bell has it at $729 but requiresa $30 mtm contract and $35 setup fee.
Does not seem to be available on Rogers yet.
I'm glad I ordered from Expansys. Almost $100 cheaper and unlocked. I hate these bas****s and am really want to get to the point where I am not locked into them by virtue of the hardware. Rogers is terrible - I have a family plan (four phones on it) so any time we do an HUP, the contract period on ALL the phones gets reset. I have stopped buying locked in phones and am a year away from making them work to keep my business. I regret having left Telus when the iPhone was first released by Rogers in Canada. They had gone out of their way to keep me as a customer - to the point where I had some amazing free customer loyalty freebies. Currently I have nada from Rogers in that regard.

I don't get it, why do you have to pay extra for this now? Should be as standard, I ain't gonna support this scam, Glad I don't live in the US.
Since they released an unlocked version the US variants won't probably be unlockable through htcdev.
LOL! I'll bet 90% of the people who would get that aren't developers at all.

Since the rest of the world has always had the ability to purchase unlocked phones for any carrier and US wireless companies tend to want their phones locked down tight to their networks, it might not be a big market concern for them outside of the US market. If enough people wrote/ called/ messaged HTC from other regions they might be willing to make a version for other areas with LTE, but it sounds like that isn't their immediate plan.

Then again, I am on ATT, soon to go to Straight Talk.
This version will be sold with sim and bootloader factory unlocked? If so it works in all countries...
So this would work fine on Sprint? I don't understand this AWS business.
I tried searching everywhere, but all that are being sold are from contract carriers like AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile. Also, all search results that appear on Google are from the UK, not the USA.

Same here. I'm planning to get an unlocked version the moment they hit NY but I want to make sure it's fully compatible with AT&T LTE.
If someone has more info please post. Thanks
http://sam.factoryoutletstore.com/
I called customer service there and they said their devices are fully compatible with ATT and that includes LTE - unlocked phones can be bought right now for $799 - a bit more than you will pay if you wait for the official release. The only problem I see is that they don't tell you what model number beyond it being the SM G900 - They don't give the letter after the G900 -- and as we don't know how cross compatible the devices are going to be you run a big risk of buying a phone that won't have much dev support -
That is my take on it anyway - when I called and asked they said you could buy now and they ship immediately.
Good Luck -

I never said it was better - but the difference between the two - is the link you sent is pre-order - shipping on April 11th - the link I sent - they say they have the phones in stock now and they will ship immediately. So I guess for anyone who doesn't want to wait - they can - but they will have to pay more. And like I said, they don't give the model numbers - might be 900f I really don't know

Got it. But then it comes with T-Mo bloatware and my goal is to order a model with no carrier bloat. Ideally a Samsung-original LTE compatible version would be perfect but not sure if it exists.
Get the Vodafone one! I read it's compatible with AT&T, has little to no bloat, and can be unlocked from Vodafone's site. I still don't get why Samsung won't just give us an unlocked phone for the US though...
