Military here, moving to Europe unplanned, otherwise I would have don't more research on the subject before buying the S5. Can I take it with me and use a SIM card from say VODAFONE or something out there without having to buy a whole new device? Would I need to root it etc?
Thanks in advance.
I was wondering the exact same thing, anyone can help. You will now be helping two people thanks in advance

Hi
I live in Malta (Europe), and need a good dual sim active phone.
The only option there seems to be is buying the samsung galaxy s4 dual sim from this seller etotalk.
I would like to query whether anyone has bought this phone from this seller and their experience.
Thanks
Ken

HI thanks for the info
Yet you use it in europe - and did you buy it with a custom rom pre-installed?

Got one from Etotalk.com; very happy with it and all is genuine!

Me too. Had it rooted and have their custom rom installed. Have some minor issues with the rom but nothing serious.

A week or so ago I also bought a GT-I9502 from etotalk and got a very good impression of them considering the natural obstacles of sending stuff from China, customs, paying with Paypal etc. Got the phone just after a few days, sent by DHL.
You can ask them to send it as a "gift", declaring a lower than actual value of your choice, which might make things slip through customs easier/cheaper/less VAT slapped on.
Bought it in stock version and rooted/ROMed it myself, using this procedure and with SVA's excellent ROM that you buy for a few $.
In certain (most?) countries the GT-I9502 doesn't show CallerID properly as the phone's software platform is made for China, but I've done a patch for that, see this post.
Hi, I'd like some tips to choose which model of Note3 to buy in China.
SM-NXXX or tips to not get scammed.
I live in Italy, so which one is usable here? Or which one can be modded? Thanks ^^
Best tip to not get scammed:-
Don't buy it in China

What's bad about it? Did you get the dual sim one?
Most likely I have to buy/trade one there (giving back my HTC one 802t).
What's the difference between sm-n900, 900k and 9005?

my best advice, get your note 3 in your country, and from an authorized vendor, you will be covered against any malfuction or quality issues, the money you coul probably save buying on line, will never amount to the peace of mind a warranty offers you, I have returned some phones 3 or four, always getting a new one, if you buy on line, and specially fron china, what will you do in case of a sudden death or something else?
the forum is plagued with cases of people asking for help due to malfunctions that otherwise could have been solved through an authorized dealer in their respective countries, think about this, luck

If you want to have 4g then you cannot but one from China Mainland, none of them support 4g lte. You need to get one from Hongkong(SM-N9005). Do not get the SM-N900 as it is 3g only as well.
Here is the main ones you can buy from China/Hongkong:
9002: dual sim version, wcdma+gsm
9006: wcdma version
9008: TD-scdma version
9009: dual sim version, cmda2000+gsm
9005: 4g version, parallel imported from hongkong
900: wcdma. dual quad cores
Hi guys, it has come to my attention that the most developed and root/unlock/flash away friendly variant of the note 4 is the SM-N910F. I tried getting the T-mo version but since i leave soon i dont want to pay for a plan i aint gonna use.
The ultimate question: Where da heck do i buy a N910F in the states without it pricing 900 bucks? any ideas or pages? i really thank anyone with info in advance!
Hey i was planning to get a note 4 from ebay. .any advice on which model to get?Which model is the best bet for updates and development?I like to flash a lot of roms so would like a model with a lot of development. .if anyone has purchased from ebay any advice on which one to get?Thanks a lot in advance!!
I910f or 910g.910f gets lots of roms.

Hello, my Nexus 5 recently died (rip) and I'm looking for a replacement. I'm currently deciding between a Huawei P9 and nova. My problem is that I can't seem to find where to buy the Nova. I found a few on eBay but I'm hoping someone here could help. I'm a T-Mobile user so if anyone has some info on how the new ova works I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance for any and all help!
Not sure, the consumer.huawei US site does not even list it. My guess is it is not released in the US. Just make sure if you buy one you get a model that is compatible with your carriers bands. If you look at GMSarena they break down which models have which bands.
