I came across this today, I REALLY hope it's real!

Very interesting! We are getting closer. The commenters on that board are thinking the phone is a Sprint variant. I don'the know enough about the S7 to know exactly how different it is from a Verizon phone.
Yes it is real. It is on a T-mobile S7 Edge. Here is the thread.

It is my understanding that unlocking your handheld without permission from your carrier has become illegal. You could only unlock your device with your carrier's permission. In any case, I think it is still kind of early to come up with a way of unlocking the device without the device being available to the masses.
T-Mobile and Sprint to do not lock their bootloaders. AT&T only started doing it lately and it's pretty random. They did lock the S4 bootloader, so I'm expecting the N3's to be locked as well. Verizon always locks their bootloaders. There's underground pre-planning going on right now, but the devices will need to be in hand to start tinkering effectively.
I believe he means sim unlock for use on other carriers!

SIM Unlock
If you are talking about SIM unlock I believe both will be unlocked according to the description on negrielectronics.com

If I'm not mistaken, the FCC pushed for the reversal of this.
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/05/technology/fcc-urges-a-right-to-unlock-cellphones.html
Regardless, if I own the device, I have no problem breaking a law I feel is unjust and unlocking it. Not to mention the fact that I do not reside in the US, so the law would not apply to me. I plan on unlocking mine on day one. Either via some "special menu" which is often found or a paid service.
I may be incorrect but I did read somewhere that they were making different versions for each country and that the one version cannot be used in the other countries.

Probably but you'll have to find out how or where to get it unlocked and then have Verizon input their apn. Maybe they'd unlock it and activate it for you for a fee!
Verizon phones also support CDMA, you can't use a GSM only phone on Verizon network.

Unfortunately it won't activate on Verizon due to the nature of their networks. Hopefully you can swap it or yeah worst case, you can sell it for profit and get what you want!

That's a question I need answered. In the U.S. Best Buy list it with snapdragon but on Samsung's website it's listed as the 8998-MC. Also I need to know if the bootloader will be unlocked.

Thinking about trading my iPhone for the S10+, but the S10+ is a Verizon device. Will it work on AT&T?
Yes it will work but it would be advisable to flash AT&T firmware.
And it is unlocked.

If it still works like the s8+ when you insert the att sim and restart it downloads the att device build. I factory reset it and it even had the att boot screen and all features worked.

Did you reset your phone? It may have changed, but worked for me.
Its been a while so wasn't sure if a reboot fixed it or if I factory reset it. I do know I bought the s8+ from Verizon then moved to att used it for a while like that, then realized I wasn't getting updates. So that's when I started messing with it. I know after i got it fixed i had the att boot screen as well as all att features.
I have one that was purchased and still financed on Verizon and worked initially with a tracfone AT&T network sim. Then I went to sell it to an att customer and when their sim went in it pops up a message that says call verizon to change carriers on this device. Anyone else?
If yes is there a way to get the phone to look 100% like a T-Mobile device including the Boot animation?

Yes to both your questions. To get it to look like TMobile, Just ODIN the latest T-Mobile firmware for S10+. There's plenty of how-to's for that.

Well I may be buying a AT&T S10+ that is "Unlocked" so I'd rather have it branded with T-Mobile stuff instead of AT&T.

Ok that makes sense.
Just make sure it's truly unlocked. I had an ATT iphone that ATT actually unlocked and it was used on Verizon for 1 year. No problem. Then it was used on ATT again briefly and when sim cards were switched to TMO I got the dreaded invalid SIM message. A quick call to Apple revealed that ATT locked the phone again! And I wasn't an ATT customer. I did get it unlocked after calling ATT but what a PIA.

Cool thanks for the heads-up. Once I get the IMEI number I plan on calling AT&T and make sure there's nothing wrong with it like lost/stolen/still financed then I'll call T-Mobile and give them the IMEI number to make sure there's nothing wrong with it on their end.
