[Q] P6800 HK version for Telus

Does any one know/can confirm the P6800 HK version will work with Canadian carriers Telus.
I am currently have a voice/data plan with Telus, very attempting to get one.
Thanks,
jjc

Unfortunately I don't have the answer to you question. But I'm also looking to get one for use in Canada, with Rogers. I've been considering one on ebay from imobilephonex. Where are you thinking of buying one from?

I just got mine yesterday not sure if its hk version but got from negri plugged in the sim from my bell phone reboot the tab and it worked like a charm I'm very impressed

Thanks a bunch, Man !

What have you (Canadians) had to pay at the door (duties,customs,taxes) when ordering from Negri? What courrier did they use?
Thanks

Mine was sent fedex and I had to pay 35 dollars in duty fees

I am really tempting to buy it!!! Unlocked GSM without contract but the phone is just too big. 4.65" and no microSD card slot.

I ordered mine today. I love my N1, but it got damaged a few months ago and this is what I was waiting for to finally replace it.

let us know what non-wifi dl speeds you get on tmobile. i got 10-13mb's on their lte. know it won't be that, but just curious and dissappointed with dl speeds on n1 with tmobile. when contract is up, may switch carriers.

Just read about it via tmonews on an off subject about HTC One S.
So Glad I waited...now to play the waiting game to see when it arrives...
Not bad considering I bought the nexus one when it came out and got the Galaxy Nexus for $450 after taxes and shipping!

so you have a GN on what carrier?

let us know how the speeds are and any bugs on 4.0
not sure what the rooted ones are running 4.0.4 i guess--need to read up on it on the two GN forums

, Pure Google and no Verizon & Sprint crap on it

What network do you have? Please report back on if 4G/HSPA works. I would want to know how it works on T-Mo

This sux! I bought my N1 from google with no issues. I am in Canada. I cannot buy the Galaxy Nexus though as it states the website is not supported for my country...WTF! Way to go Google...I was going to buy one just based on price but now I'm not sure...

Mine is on the truck now. Unfortunately I'm at work and my wife has to accept it
Do you guys want the tests run straight out of the box before I unlock/root/etc?
Sent from my Nexus One using xda premium

Don't matter, I think most will root--that is what it is meant for
Just a regular non-wifi test will do
Don't know how much dl speed differences there are around the country--
Thanks,

I know how to deal with gumtree, regularly sell mobiles on there. There are some legitimate buyers amongst the scammers, I dont use ebay anymore because of the high fees.
Ive found a uk website with stock selling for £499.

I never said it was? Its a PRE-order page. Was merely highlighting the price in case someone wanted to save a little money.
Nothing wrong with gumtree so long as common sense is used. I.e. cash on collection, no postage of items, no paypal/western union. I've sold quite a few items with no problems.

cheapest i found in the ik is £499 same as above from phone digital co uk
funny how amazon have titanium out in nov and the white out oct crazy
and yet both pre-order still.
if you gonna get one from uk make sure its legit place that the warranty can fall back on. not ebay

Customs charge?

Don't forget that the price is slightly higher due to the UK's higher vat (20%). The total price including UK vat and delivery as of last night is 480GBP, obviously its pre order though.

I traded in my s3 at car phone warehouse today and got 243 quid for it and my note 2 was 549..so only had to pay 300 for this.
Super impressed.. However bit gutted when I got it home and realised that I had read the USA specs for it which said 4G capable.. And the UK one isn't :-\
My bad.

According to Three, they are locked and will cost you 15.32GBP to get it unlocked.

Anyone have more info if 3 have them locked or unlocked, I would like to get one from them but need it to work on O2.

My PAYG from Three seems to be unlocked... i put in a Voda PAYG sim, and it got onto the network OK. wasnt able to test calls since no credit on card... was one of the 1st batch on launch day, so they might lock later ones??

02 current brochure have note 2 16gb @ £479.99 dont know if unlocked but i know its not the lte version as thats not out yet...its coming out after oct 15th i think when EE starts rolling...hence why im waiting to see if it supports o2 frequency ready for next years o2 lte...before i buy the 32gb version.

Nexus 4 in Japan

I just received my N4 in Japan. Currently I am using NTT DoCoMo for my service provider, but currently I cannot find an APN that will allow me to use data. I have tried using mopera.net and spmode.ne.jp as well as a bunch of other random APNs. Has anybody gotten one to work? Or has anyone had any luck with a different network such as kddi au or softbank?
Thank you for any help.

Can u ask your network provider to send the settings to your phone? That might be quicker than waiting for a reply.

I will try talking to them this week to see if they can help me. But it's usually pretty difficult to find someone that speaks English and understands what I'm trying to do. lol

Docomo are kinda assholes and don't let non-Docomo IMEI whitelisted phones onto their standard data plans, and they will charge you a decent sized fee for using a "Non-Docomo phone". So SPMode is out, if that's what you use. However if you add the Mopera plan to your data plan(costs about 300 yen a month), you can use the Mopera settings that are in your phone already.
To enable all this in English, just call their foreign-language customer service number. In Japan, it's toll free, 0120005250.
I got to learn all about this when I bought a Galaxy S2 in Taiwan a year or so ago. :crying:

So what do I need to do to get my nexus 4 to work in Japan? I will be there for the next few years

I'm going to my carrier today so I will let you know if I can get the data connection to work.
Edit: Just got my phone working on DoCoMo. All I had to do was have them enable Mopera U for an extra 200 yen a month.

So I'm in the navy and just picked up a nexus 4 while on leave. When I get back to Japan can I just walk into au and get a Sim card? Or is Docomo the only way to go?

I'm sorry, but I can only personally confirm that DoCoMo works. I would imagine that if you talk to someone at AU they will be able to help you out.

Ok...so I just got back to Japan from a few weeks of leave in the states, where I pickedup my Nexus 4.
I went to Docomo and they said they do not sell SIM cards by themselves, and told me I would have to buy a cell phone from them and then take the SIM card out. Are they just selling me some **** or is this true?

I have things shipped to my parents address in the US and they just rebox it and lie on the customs forms about it having a lithium battery. I've never once had a problem doing this in the year I've been here in Japan.

got mine from Australia, cut the SoftBank SIM, voice works but data doesn't. anyone else got theirs working?

Did you tell them you have a Non-DoCoMo phone? Got my N4 today and realized the SPMode APN did not work. I called DoCoMo and he asked me if I have a Non-DoCoMo, I said yes he said the flat rate will raise from ¥5,460 to ¥8,190...it is not pro-rated so I will wait till march first. If I say I have a DoCoMo phone they will know from the IMEI that it is not? Do they even check? Thanks

I switched to mopera.net APN and everything works fine. I love this phone....I'm using the Paranoid Android 3.10 ROM and it works perfect. Love the expanded desktop and pie buttons. Just wish I had the Japanese play store, I can't get the VS Pheonix dart app to install.

[Q] Nexus 4 worth?

I am about it buy it off of google so i do not get t-mobile's extra carrier apps that waste my space. currently it is 350 for 16gb and i was wondering if any of you regret buying it or should i purchase it.
Thank you!
Edit: I know there is no LTE, so so battery and camera, are those game changers, if not are there any other major problems?

I bought it 1 awhile back and it was great phone. Back cracked after a week in a case never dropped or abused. That was my only complaint and lack of lte support
