Hello guys, as title says, if I were to obtained a unlocked Z2, would it have full functionality in USA such as 4G/LTE? I looked a the radio bands listed in their specs and compared it to what AT&T uses, I noticed there were some but not all bands that matched. I would appreciate any help, thank you!

Thank you so much for that information, I've been talking to AT&T rep trying to figure this out, but seems like all the bands AT&T uses for 3G/4G/LTE is listed in D6503 specs.
Do you have any issues using it in the States, or does it everything function as it should? I would truly appreciate your help, thank you.

Only place I know for a fact you can order it and get it to US soon is using Ebay and buying it off Taiwanese seller. Looks like it's selling for about $900 right now...

Indeed! Cant wait to get this amazing phone. :victory:
reception?
I have been trying to find info on how good the reception on the phone is.. My s4 has **** reception. the htc one I have has much better reception when im at work. I am hovering over a "Buy it Now" button on ebay and want to find out if it has good reception. Also, how is the stock messaging app? I hate using third party ones, they usually have quirks, but again, cant find any info on what the email or messaging apps look like at all.
You should try Textra. It is the best sms app I have used on Android.

I ordered mine from eBay. Should have it by next Friday. Will have a huge review of it the following week (or sooner) coving all the pros, and the few cons. I cant wait for it to arrive. One awesome thing I noticed was that the dock had the insert that comes out to fit your phone into it while still in the case!!!! Genius! I will be buying a couple extra docks I think.

Would you be able to check out wifi range also? compared to other phones? I have an XZ, and have never been happy with the wifi (so much worse than my old iponw 3gs).
I ordered mine from a random Taiwanese seller on ebay. I went for whichever is the cheapest. But i do see some that includes the charging dock. I guess you just have to read the description of each auction to see what they come with

What's the usual deal with Sony warranties on the unlocked/international version? Could you still get the phone serviced at a Sony center or replaced by calling in an issue if you needed to?
I've never bought an international/unlocked/SIM free type phone before but if Sony fails to bring it to the USA carriers I'm interested in I see no other choice.

Good morning.
I have a good phone now, a Touch Pro2 and always loved smartphones with keyboard, and entering the world of Android, the best choice now for me would be the Desire Z/G2.
I'm searching for a place to buy online, who either ships overseas (as i live in Brasil) or to USA, and is reliable.
Anyone here can give me tips about stores ?
Sent from my FROYO X using XDA App
Hi, I'm in Sao Paulo with a G2 on TIM, I'll sell it to you for R$1300. PM me if interested.
Thanks, too costly. I'm searching in US, as i have people to send it to me and a friend who has a Import Business firm. For this price i can get a brand new at a Br auction site.

Why don't you just send one of your "people" to a tmobile store?
My cell service would be here in Brasil, which is GSM and 3G/2100 mhz. For what i've read, both the Z and the G2 operates in 3G at 2100 mhz, so both are ok.
Of course i would need a store who sells unlocked phones. At T-Mo they would not sell unlocked phones. Either i buy online and ships directly to me, or i order to ship to my friend's family in the US and they send me here...

G2
Should just buy a G2 and unlock it byself... i got mine for $340
The stores i though were Plemix, PopularElect, and Gsm Nation, and Ebay.
Any thoughts on them ?
Go for the DZ, the G2 needs 1700 and 2100 for 3G, not just 2100

Well I'm curious which site you're looking at since on Mercado Livre the cheapest I seen were R$1590.
If you already have people to send it to you just buy from ebay or craigslist, good luck with the shipping to here + taxes. You can buy one unlocked off Amazon for $500. My phone's already perm-rooted, S-OFF, sim unlocked, running gingerbread. Offer stands.
i saw last week for R$1349, and today for R$1319 too.
well, now i'm just trying to see which store is the best and reliable...
hey guys, i really wanna know whether desire z is available in US or not ?
It seems that only T-G2 is on sell..

So basically, still higher than my offer, and not guaranteed to work on TIM.
Thats cool though, I love my Vision.
I know that Telus (a Canadian carrier) might sell a Desire Z unlocked and it has the same bands as AT&T (might work on 2100Mhz but I'm not sure)
well, popularelect has the G2 for 479.99 usd, and for what i've seen, their reputation is good !
i thought the vision was able to be sim unlocked with this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855764
So if that's the case, why not have someone pick up the T-Mobile G2 and unlock it? That way you can use the G2 on whatever network you have there without issue
the g2 at popularelect is unlocked !
I just recd mine from OnTheGoSolutions in the U.S.
Desire Z is rooted and shipped same day form these guys.
Second phone I have bought from them, very reliable.
I bought a Desire and now the Desire Z (not a G2)
Check out there Web Site, same as there name above.

You can unlock it, yes, but you can't change the radio bands (they are set in hardware). So an unlocked G2 can't use 3G on AT&T, for example. That's why people want to get hold of the NAM model Desire Z from Bell.

Good luck getting something by customs, taxes in Brazil will cost more than the phone itself.

Is your set branded? If not, perhaps you can check if the bootloader can be unlocked by connecting to the Android SDK's Fastboot tool.
And does it come with a pre-applied screen protector (like the X10)?

Even thought I'm an android user I've had a Zune HD for a while and love the Metro UI. This seems like a good price, should I go for it?
Well I got mine for £179.99 via the dell website as a swarm so it's really your choice. But I would wait for the lower price
why not get the 16bg version from dell for $299 (or $199 if you buy something over $700)
The sale you linked to is only the 8gb version. (which dell doesn't sell anymore)

It was on sale here in Germany for 200€ a few weeks ago. Yesterday it was on sale for 175€. Pretty awesome if you ask me. Maybe someone will port Android now.

3G works on either one or the other... you have to choose when ordering. There is no such thing as a DVP that has 3G on both AT&T and T-Mobile.
The T-Mo version is a better bet for world-wide use because it has not only 2100 but 900 support. The AT&T one has only 2100 for non-US use.

Panamoz
I bought a 16gb 3G version from Panamoz. I ordered it 17th Jan (evening time) and it arrived on 20th Jan (morning). I selected English UK language during start up and rooted it straight away using the guide for 'root.zip' found in xda forums. It's already done an OTA update (I thought rooting would stop this!). It's working great. I highly recommend Panamoz AND The 7.7 Tab!
I've been using it with a UK T-Mobile sim with no issues, also various WiFi hotspots all appear to work OK.
I don't know of any difference between EU and HK versions, other than language options - but I may be wrong!

Negri Electronics has the 3g version but not the wifi only. My guess is that pretty much all that are out there are HK stock which means no IR.

For those of you who bought the OnePlus One on Aliexpress, can you please post your experience with the seller, which version you bought, whether you have 2G,3G,LTE, and what country and radio frequencies your carrier uses? But most importantly, how is the phone? Since it is from China, there is always that worry that the box wasn't in good condition, or worse, you got a fake.
I understand there was some discussion in the OPPO mart thread, but I think it would be better to have its own thread. Who knows how long it will take for us to get our hands on a OnePlus One at this rate... I'm considering buying from Aliexpress.

So you don't know if 3G works for you but LTE works? What frequency does your carrier use? Can you just link it to the seller here? Because China versions seem to have different baseband, which may be solved by flashing a hacked modem. I'm not sure though.
So any word on T-mobile? It sends text, but no data. Do you think flashing Cyanogen mod would help?.I got mine from oppo Mart & everything was in perfect condition.
