I've had a Box account for 1 month now. And their free box is 5GB. From Nov 30, 2010 to December 31, 2012 though, a deal between LG and Box will upgrade your storage to 50GB for free!
I already tried it. (I faked my SIM as T-mobile just to be sure though, as the promo did say that it's supposed to be for US folks only. )
Have fun boys and girls!

Thanks for this hint.

Therefore it definitely works outside the US... I'm from germany.

Yes, works good, you can create your account on a computer and the 50GB upgrade will be automatic at first connection from the phone app.
I am from spain and tambien works here. Thanks mate.
From Singapore. 50gb works here.
Set it up last night, is fine in the UK.
It works fine in Germany.
Sweet. So me faking a sim was just me being paranoid then.
Glad to see reports that its working all over the world. Thanks guys.

too bad the windows application requires the business upgrade
Could you please clarify, does it work with 50gb till the end of March and then drop to standard capacity, or is it permanent and you just have to create the account till March?
[EDIT] Nvm, found the answer - it's for life if anyone else wondered : )
Yep , for life.
As for folder sync, people recommend using webdav. Ill try it this weekend.

I heard there was a deal T-Mobile was offering tonight on two of it's 4G phones, not sure if they were intending on G2X to be one of them or not. Anyone know anything more?
T-Mo has said that the G2x will be available on the 15th (online) and the 20th (in store). I doubt they'd offer a deal on a brand new phone days before it's set to be released.

I know we have a lot of threads discussing 4.3 already, but those seem to be for people who have successfully downloaded it and worked with it. I'm curious to see how many others are still waiting on the update. I live in Canada and so far I've seen no sign of it, my device tells me I'm still up to date with 4.2.2. I don't have 3G but I regularly connect to WiFi.
It's not a very big deal... the update doesn't seem to have much that I need, except maybe a slightly faster speed when doing things. But yeah, I'm curious. Share your locations if you're still waiting.
EDIT: I really wish there was a way to edit the titles for threads...
EDIT 2: Thank you for that.

Im in russia with a UK model still waiting. Im too busy at the moment to actually flash it so im going to be patient and wait for OTA.
It seems we are always last on the list here to get OTA or any updates.
Could any Russian users post and let me know if they have the update
Kind regards

Canada here,
Still waiting on my N4 and N7.
N4 is on and off 3G doesn't seem to make a difference.
Last time around, the N7 got it within the week and N4 had to wait 2+ weeks until it arrived.
Austria; 212K N4 (stock everything) still nothing ...
I am on a custom rom and I am too lazy to go back to stock. Would wait for a week untill PA or CM have cooked their 4.3 builds.
UK, London - Tried the framework thing - Nothing....
Phone bought in UK, using Norwegian sim-card. Now travelling in Europe. Have checked (WIFI) in Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. Still nothing.
Croatia still didnt get it hopefully soon
No updates in Bangladesh either...

I am waiting, but not for the OTA that arrived on my phone a couple of days ago. I am waiting for all the bugs to get squashed and for the apps to get updated to accommodate 4.3.

I have been a big supporter and early adopter for a lot of their consumer electronics , phone and computers. The way they handled this last firmware for the US is unacceptable. I can understand a few day lag in rolling this update out but to take away the limited functionality that this watch had to begin with and have no solution for us is crazy. Expecting us to jump through technical hoops and hacks is unrealistic.
Have they even acknowledged this as an issue? I only heard of a couple countries to have the new firmware is only the US impscted?

If you want to vent you should be venting about the lack of a damned sdk. That is extremely annoying.
yea im in the same boat, after waiting for about a week with NO EXCHANGE EMAIL!!!! notifications. I said screw it and flashed the UK MK7 and loaded Null11.1 At least now it can do SOMETHING, still cant get exchange email via default stock mail client...well i get the notification then have to check the phone......LAME!
I bet they fix it b4 the price drop on black friday....at least they better. in the meantime you can root your phone and edit the build.prop and change it from US to SPain to restore fucntionality.

I have flashed the UK and it works great. Why wait? It is an official release, just for the UK. I think US get last on a lot because of all he laws/regulations and the number of users. Release it to the lower number to filter out the bugs. If all is well release to the rest.
Then don´t buy Samsung. Over here in Mexico we dont get any more support than in USA and Canada and we are not whining about it.

One issue with the UK is that you still have to put on the hacked email app to be able to get Microsoft exchange notifications. I am hoping that they fix the manager and gear update to take care of this problem. Also I have notifications working now but they get stacked on top of each other in Exchange, when several come in close together.
That's my issue too. I don't want to use a broken exchange solution just to get the mail that should be working . I am NOT a big complainer but this too has really pushed my button expect more from Samsung on this particular for us early adopters

This is not a "problem/bug" its a security layer implemented by Samsung..
Exchange mail requires a pass lock to be active on Samsung's official app. You may use exchange mail as a every day feature, although people use it mainly for business purposes.
Reason why they force you to view it on your device, your device should be secured with keyguard so your identity can be verified before displaying the email.
Well if that was the case why did the first version work?

Not Whining...
Is just the principal..
You never leave US out...
We the largest consumers in Electronics..
What pisses me of is some of these countries with the update probably have 10 people that own the device.
Lol there's a hostile mob in this thread.
There's nothing wrong with pointing out that the US was left behind with these updates. Yes, I could break out Odin and manually update the Gear myself (and I did exactly that). However, it's ridiculous that the update is taking this long for US customers. I mean, is there a reason why this should be the case? It's going to be the exact same update that everyone else received.
I just don't get it. And frankly I don't understand why you guys are being so passive about it. If the firmware had not been made available by samsungupdates, then everyone would still be **** out of luck.
Running UK version myself but what the heck. Every time someone posts a thread about the US update all the stupid people come out and tell us to install the UK version. My gear IS NOT working flawlessly unless I happen to have a phone from the UK too. As many have pointed out, exchange does NOT work and its not that way because of security trying to protect us. Or is it just people in the US that needs this so called security feature.
Exchange in Europe works with UK ROM, exchange in US plus UK ROM/firmware =FAIL.
If you don't need exchange...good for you, but don't say UK firmware works flawlessly for US customers. It just works flawlessly for the features you happen to use.
