Has anyone heard about when or in which markets this will be available? I kind of want it.
Through AT&T in the US sometime in 2012. I kind of get the sense it will be first half of 2012 from what I have read but that's total conjecture. Supposedly with LTE and NFC.
Might take a look at this:

How about a International version as I'm in the UK and I think the US one is using LTE?

Doubt there will be an international version with NFC.

Huh?
I haven an H815. Its most certainly not just wifi, matter of fact the Wifi is only good for data, not calls. I have it working with T-Mobile with no issues.

It does not work with my sprint SIM :crying: I would like it too! Does anyone know of a hack to make it so? And if I actually believed that it was wifi-only I wouldn't be asking.

It won't ever work with your Sprint SIM because the H815 model is GSM only - and Sprint is CDMA

The answer used to be Sprint is CDMA not GSM so you have the wrong phone if I am correct. Sorry. But now that they have LTE....
LTE is the same functionally (not bands though) among carriers. You may need to call Sprint and see if they have some sort of blocking enabled for that device.

I am about to order one from ebay (h815). I'm not sure if that will work with tmo since it's missing the aws 1700/2100 3g band. Isn't that a necessary band for mms?
Also looks like it's missing lte 12 but doesn't matter since Chicago hasn't been approved for that band anyway and it'll be a while before that happens.

Havent had any trouble with mms, sending photos from my G4 on t-mo to wifes G3.
What are the differences between the F500 and the H815? Here in Australia, the F500 is approximately $100 more expensive than the H815 on eBay. Of course, it hasn't been released yet and I believe that, when it is released, it will cost around $900. ( -_-)
In Australia, if you're with Telstra and want the new 4GX network, you need the 815 or 815T. You need one that has 700MHz(B28) band, and it seems both of them do have this. If you're with Optus, the 815 is missing an LTE band and you'd be best going for the 815T.

I'm with the crappiest company; Vodafone. I didn't even know there were so many models of the G4. Thanks for that!
I don't use 4G/LTE. There's dodgy coverage in Perth and its suburbs (even just general 2G/3G) and I'm usually in reach of wifi.
I hope someone can make a list of all the models to make it easier to find the international model versus carrier models.
QD_AU on eBay are selling them for AU$799 - great price! It's the Taiwan version, the 815: http://stores.ebay.com.au/QD-Shopping-Centre/_i.html?_nkw=h815&submit=Search&_sid=138021041
They're a reputable store with lots of great feedback on places like Whirlpool.
I'm about to pull the trigger on one

Ah, yeah. I saw that. Not a bad price but why is the leather-back version the same price as the plastic cover one?
Is the F500 the international variant or the H815? Which one do you think will get the fastest updates? I really want to switch from my Nexus 5. With Google's new Photos app coming later today, I'd love to take photos on the G4 and upload them.
Speed test on T-Mobile.

All righty. It does seem like the H815 is the international version.
I'll think about ordering it soon. I've already spent too much this month and I'm running out of money.

They are all the same version, if you are referring to the gold version there is no way maybe eBay but it will be very expensive, which in my opinion is stupid just for a color.
Even if you do obtain one somehow, warranty service might be extremely painful.

No, , Huawei has made a version for North America which support overall some less LTE bands and has some 1 or 2 specific LTE bands for USA carriers.. Whereas international version support all the available LTE bands so that you can use any sim...

Possibly, but with no TMobile firmware it's hard to say. I'll just try it out and see tomorrow. We could get lucky. I get HD Voice on my pixel, so maybe I'll get lucky with the G6.

Who is the seller you bought from on eBay? I tried with 2 of them, and both doesn't actually have the phone, they wait till u place the order and pay, then they go to the market and buy one for you.. I think i replied to another one of your posts.

For everyone to know, the seller just confirmed that its not a dual sim, it's strange that the Korean editions are not dual sim. Its a Deal breaker for me, will wait for the dual sim version then.
Big question is really just bands and cert on T-Mobile us

You get yours?
Lte bands in Korean G600S/K/L:
1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/17/20/26/38/39/40/41
Wcdma bands in Korean G600S/K/L:
1 (2100)/2(1900)/5(850)
Gsm bands in Korean G600S/K/L:
1800/900/850/1900
Offtop: above stated seller at Ebay declares that Korean models support Wcdma b8(900), but it's just wrong.
Offtop 2: you can enter Engineering Menu and control (check/uncheck) all the bands in G600S/K/L by pressing 5457#*600# in stock dialer.

But this doesn't necessarily mean B12 will work on T-Mobile if that version isn't certified. No b66 also. Does TMO have that live anywhere?

Correct!
But it's the only way to get G6 much earlier than official US launch. No wireless charging, but Quad DAC onboard & 64gigs instead of 32 as bonus.

LTE (easy), not VoLTE (hard). Can you generally change firmware easily on LG devices? Also the vid doesnt confirm B12. Need LTE Discovery for that.

I know a method to enable volte in LG international models for any carrier ( needs root ). May be it will work for other models too.

As stated the P10 plus is available on ebay, I am just wondering if I should wait or if the CN version would work on US cellular carriers? thanks!

You should look at the LTE Bands supported, compare it to the ones used by your US provider and make up your own opinion, no?
Actually no, because over the years of buying unlocked phones I have found that ebay listings tend to lack these facts or are not trustworthy, especially when they are written overseas. I will not drop >$800 on a phone until I know for sure. I posted here since I figured some may already have experience with the handset. Thank you
Then you should wait. If ebay listings are the only source you can find for technical information on the p10 plus then don't risk your money.
Even if bands work you could end up with a Chinese model like what I got when I ordered a P9 Plus and didn't pay attention to model numbers. It wasn't a big deal, just took some time to get Google play installed. And some apps and settings not in English
I have a mate 9 china version and it works in Canada on Telus and Rogers network. Just FYI.
A spec list from huawei Chinese website for P10 Plus:
LTE FDD:Band1/2/3/4/5/7/8/9/12/17/18/19/20/26
TD-LTE: Band38/39/40/41（100M）
UMTS(WCDMA)/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA:Band1/2/4/5/6/8/19
TD-SCDMA:Band34/39 （移动主频段）
CDMA（主副卡二选一）:BC0( 800MHz)；(仅限中国电信（中国大陆+澳门）)
GSM/EDGE:850/900/1800/1900MHz

Awesome, I was crossing my fingers since I'm on T-Mobile as well.
Edit: Got my phone and went over to the T-Mobile store. Full coverage as soon as they put the nano sim in!
