I for some reason had a momentary lapse in judgement, renewed my contract and got a GD iPhone 5s. I'm exchanging it ASAP and the only appealing device to me is the G2. I'm with Bell mobility in Canada, which one would it be? it's the D803.

I'd exchange my G2 with you! j/k.
I think you may have answered your own question though, it is a D803 and is separate from most of the US variants (D802). It's also physically different with the Verizon LG G2 that has differently sized buttons.

So essentially don't get it because there's nothing for it?
Here are the model breakdowns
D800 - AT&T
D801 - T-Mobile
D802 - International
D803 - Canadian
Technically the D800 and D803 are the same physically. The software will be a little different as one has been tweaked by AT&T (D800) and the other has been tweaked by Bell (although I haven't found any Bell apps on my G2).
Therefore, most ROMs designed for the D800 will work with Bell's D803, although there maybe some bugs. Just check thoroughly in the ROM thread before committing to installing the ROM.

G2 hasn't been available for a full month yet. Have some patience and respect for the devs. Your implied sense of entitlement for custom ROMs is showing.

I had a little too much fun on new years eve .. I set my Verizon LG G2 down on a table and apparently either I left it or it was stolen .. I probably left it hahaha..
Now i'm trying to get another one .. I really loved the phone...
I'm scouring eBay ..
I'm in a 2 year contract with verizon ..... but, I wanted to know ... Can I use a Sprint based LG G2 on the verizon network ? Will I still get verizon LTE ?
Same thing with T-mobile versions ? Can I get all the bands and function I did out of my verizon LG G2 ?
Thanks for the heads up guys.
I know that the Verizon one can use Sprint, but I am not sure about the other war around. I think the global one works on Verizon's LTE band, although I am not sure an that either. If you can afford it, get the Verizon model (VS980) off contract. You can check the bands and other specs on phone arena.
The T-Mobile one seems to share frequencies of Verizon's though.
Hope I helped.
Verizon and Sprint are CDMA carriers and run on compatible CDMA frequencies and technologies (1xRTT, EvDO) and both their branded phones can roam on/off each other's network for both voice and data.
Having said that, the fact that they're primarily CDMA carriers means that you cannot just bring a phone onto their respective networks. The ESN/MEID of the phone has to already be in their database for them to activate.
So, taking a Sprint LG G2 and walking into a Verizon store or calling Verizon to activate it will get you a big fat NO, and vice versa.
Is it technically possible? Of course.
Worth the effort/hassle? No.
T-Mobile is a GSM carrier, no CDMA, so that's out of the question, same with AT&T, or any GSM variant of the G2.
Get a Verizon LG G2. Just keep looking carefully and you'll find a good deal.
I got my Sprint LG G2 mint in box for 325, clean ESN, no funny business. Love it to bits.
You can use Sprint LG G2 on Tmobile, takes about 20 minutes

In response to this assessment I have to correct these "facts"
You CAN use Tmobile's network on Sprint LG G2 Variant. See Younggunners forum on Sprint-Tmobile rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2639165
I am currently getting 4G speeds at around 14 mb on the down and 4 on the up, very workable.
I can attest that it works; I have also performed the flash on other sprint LG G2 LS980 Variants as well.
I am using Justin's rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2639165&page=11,
It's an awesome stock experience!

I think you missed what he was saying. He was saying that the T-Mobile and ATT variants do not support any CDMA so they will not work at all. The sprint variant supports Verizon CDMA but verizon will not activate a sprint device on their network. In any case the sprint device does not support Verizon LTE bands. Even if Verizon activated a sprint g2 on their network it would be 3G only.

I am trying to shop for casings for this phone but I found that at most sites, they are advertising casings as for verizon, AT&T or T-mobile. Which of this would fit the d802 international model?
Thanks!

None of this!
Wrong... All cases for G2 are the same. Except the one from verizon due to the buttons being different
ATT fits all but Verizon. Verizon fits only verizon. Everything but verizon and ATT fits all but verizon and ATT

I really love my G2, even with the ridiculous changes Verizon made for their model. Thanks in part to xdabbeb's G2 rom, I might add.
However, I'd really love the ability to swap SD cards and battery, and I'm seriously considering getting the Korean model as I see myself keeping that model for several years (I could keep this VS980, but the goddamn rear keys and removed speaker annoy me too much.)
I've found one or two topics that sort of talk about the radio compatibility, but I'd like to ask for not only the feasibility of using a Korean G2 in the USA, but what I would need to do to make it possible.
I've been debating which phone to get and decided to get the G2. Was also thinking of S4. I would get a current flagship but they are all just too big. The G2 specs seem good with decent small overall size. I'm on straight talk via AT&T. I would like to load cyanogenmod on it. What model G2 would be best. The D800 or 802 or doesn't matter? Does either model have better Dev support?
Thanks

d802 has more support for roms. in stock.. but d800 has a patch that makes you run any non d800 rom on it..
so best bet its d802 just make sure dont get a refurbished with ls980 motherboard and imei and phone says d802. as it isnt it what the motherboard says . they sell d802 and come up as d800 too.
Thanks. What about the Korean version, good support? Would be nice to have SD card slot.

But the battery is 2600mAh so its sd card for battery... although you can get separate battery. Also the rom support for the korean is not as great as the EU (D802) version.

D800 should have the best band support for ATT. For example, it has the band 17 and band 2. I am on att network, and my phone spends a considerable amount of time on band 2, followed by 17. D800 is also cheaper, with ebay vendors offering it for $140 bucks..
Yeah just noticed d800 is a bit cheaper. I'm usually on band 4 on. Att do the 800 should be good with that right? Hmmmmm I guess if the 800 also has almost equal Dev support no reason to spend more on the 802?

hello
I have a few LG G2 D802 in the family and I'm curious if a D802 motherboard would fit in another G2, as Sprint, Verizon or any other D80x.
I think it would fit D80x but unsure about the others.
Seen a few different ones and I'm considering to buy and use a working motherboard...

Maybe could fit in other G2's but the Verizon version (VS980) is quite different starting the back buttons. Maybe other components could be different as well. Sometimes, the US hardware version of any smartphone are different from global versions except of course the iPhone.
for me D802 motherboatd working fine for D801 phone
