I really really want this beast as my first smartphone (Verizon), but I can't find where to officially buy it. I know its on eBay but I don't feel like trusting it since the phone is so new. Lg official site doesn't have it, and Google searching didn't help too much either so where did you all buy yours? I feel stupid for asking, so sorry if its a noob question..... thanks in advance!

I'm in the UK, but I imported mine from Germany via Amazon.de.
I'm not sure how it works importing to the US, and you'll obviously want to check it works on your network.

yeah, more like that! That would work, but I don't want to ship from Europe and yes I'm also looking into seeing if the 4x will work on verizon
Sent from my AOKP ICS Flyer using xda app-developers app
As far as I know, its only been released in North West Europe, and even that excludes the UK.
So you'll either have to wait, or get it imported from Europe. Pretty sure any US seller at the moment will have done the same.
The European 4X will never work on Verizon, completely different network standard. It would run just fine on AT&T however.

don't waste time on it, our EURO models do not support US 4G LTE, you need a different mobile for that.
as previously said, only AT&T will work for you, as they got UMTS/3G support
i guess this guy seen the US edition of 4X here

OK thanks for the quick answer, I figured as much I guess I may have to deal with dual core and wait a while then. Its a shame, I wanted something that would outclass the razr HD and other snapdragons, but I don't think quad core will be coming to Verizon for a long time

You might want to wait for the LG F180 then. It may come out in less than 2 months.
Sorry for the bump but...
As I live in the states and had my heart set on this phone I was just wondering if anybody knew of any carrier other than at&t who supported umts/3g as stated in the above post?
At&t just sucks as they are money hungry leeches. Anyways, I don't really know where to find this information and was hoping someone here would know.

Please note that although the price to performance ratio of this phone is excellent, the only things you can do with this phone is,
1. Upgrade to the latest V10f firmware.
2. Root the phone.
3. Install CWM Touch.
4. Install a Deodex-ed app and framework on the phone.
5. Install a Camera Mod which "fixes" poor lighting.
Things you cannot do due to the locked bootloader.
Install a custom kernel and rom, which is probably what everyone is pissed off over LG for.

so long as it isnt the wifi only version, I would say go for it.
make sure it isnt model P1010.It has inferior hardware compared to the original
AT&T dumped a bunch of refurbs on their site on Friday for $199.99 with no contract. I think if you're in the US you'll see a bunch of them pop up on Ebay shortly. First reviews of the received models are they look like they're brand new.
I would also consider things like exchange and warranty. Maybe it's worth the extra coin to you to know that if you have any issues with it you can exchange it or get it serviced under warranty?

I jumped ahead and bought it for $250 + taxes. It is great but I'm contemplating whether to return it or not. It's the 3G at&t edition. My concern is that its not dual core and at&t and t-mob are just dumping these out to make the 10.1 model ready for release. I have no issues with its performance but its just that it's not dual core and I forsee lag in upcoming applications. Anyone has any thoughts on this?

It as alot to do with it. Our carriers have alot more control over what is put on the phone. Plus most of the OEM are Europe based with a much larger market area. This has always been the case and always will be. Main reason I no longer by US based phones. I am willing to pay more for the phone for better updates. Hell the euro version of the phones sometimes gets updates the US version never sees
How do you get the euro phones?

Order them at full price from different sites. On the for mobile solutions is a good one as others. It does take a little bit more research to make sure you get a device that works on your data bands. Like att. I can order a phone from Telstra in Australia and it will work on my 3G network. Yes it is more expencive but it bypasses alot of things. Mainly now with the government adding the chip to our phones for them to send texts directly to our phones with no way to prevent it or turn it off.

Fken awesome! I hope we can get the Radio sooner than that though. But this is great new nonetheless...i was beginning to think that the Tmo Note was just a rumor after all. This proves it wrong.
Great news, can't wait to get better speeds...I would've considered trading my current note for it, but it looks like they will only carry black, I love my white note too much.
Does the T-Mobile version have the exynos processor since no LTE?

If they were smart, they would bring the exynos and advertise as the most powerful note offered in America or some crap. They don't need it to be LTE equipped yet, so it would make sense and give them an edge.

Has anyone gotten any update to which processor will be used see as how t-mobile does not currently have LTE???
The T-mobile galaxy note will use the same S3 snapdragon 1.5MHz processor that is used in the At&t Galaxy note.
This is great! If the hardware, is the same then we be great for us ATT Note using Tmobile users! Can't wait.
Just curious, if the hardware is the same, how is the Tmo version going to have 42+mbps, since the ATT version can only support 14mpbs. Is it all in the radio update?
Not that I don't believe you because this seems like the easiest and most logical thing for t-mo to do but do you have an reference's? Also since the hardware will be the same will AT&T roms/kernels work without any modification?
If you look at the 2nd and 3rd screenshots you can see the tmobile note uses the same cpu/gpu as the at&t note. The specs could change between then and July 11th, but my imo, i don't think it will. As far as roms/kernals go, i don't know. A dev could better answer that question.
http://www.tmonews.com/2012/04/leak...w-off-t879-model-number-t-mobile-galaxy-note/
I have been debating whether to go for the S4 or the One. Quite honestly I am leaning towards the ONE. I love the oNE design. I can live without removable SD card so long as I can have 64gb of storage but I am reading that TMOBILE will NOT carry the 64gb version of the ONE.
Now I could buy the HTC ONE from ATnT and unlock it but it lacks tmobile 4g (1700mhz) feature which only leaves me with LTE which isn't widely available here in San Diego yet. So I will be stuck with EDGE.
So I thought maybe I go with a ONE Developers Editions, which does have 64gb of storage but I read that it lacks proper TMOBILE 4g support (1700mhz) like the ATnT version.
So my only other option here is to get a S4 which does give me full features with TMOBILE? I feel cheated. ;/
Can someone correct me if I am wrong on what I stated above...
You would be better directing your anger at T-mobile, as it will be them who choose what models they stock and what frequency they use for their base stations. It does seem crazy that the US has so many different frequencies for 4G/LTE. Why can't they use the same as as the EU and Asia? 3 models of the One for the US is absurd.
Don't quote me on this, be I am pretty sure the "tmobile" radios will be able to be flashed to the dev version thus opening the 1700 hsdpa band.
I am inclined to think the all the one "models" have the same hardware. The qualcomm chip in this phone supports 30+ bands

No I am not glad. Not being able to get the version I want is like not having the device on my carrier at ALL! 32gb? That just stupid. I have a 32gb SD on my Amaze and the thing is almost full. I am not about to pay full price for a device that I know I will run out of space. I really am genuinely pist off about this.
As far as flashing the correct radio for the Dev Edition, that is a HUGE maybe. It has yet to be confirmed. And I will be at the mercy of the Dev, meaning it could take time before a flash is available. I won't have 4g for some time. So spend 650$ and maybe i will have the ability to flash radio or just simply get the S4.
Just seems dumb guys. ;/
How much intern memory the S4 will offer in your country? Here in Germany we got only 16 GB at the beginning, that's just useless, of you got many games and apps.

I got won an auction for htc one $150 but it is untested. Like I plan on using it abroad on gsm so I dont care if it is blacklisted it isnt by the way according to swappa.
My only problem is even though the seller has stated the touch screen works fine and okayish in terms of wear and tear.
It is a completely untested phone otherwise.
My only concern is if I buy this at this price and how much will it cost to repair essentials which might not work
microphone, speakers, and wifi
thats pretty much it
the seller is a high volume trader with around 4000 feedbacks so I doubt he is lying about not checking the device himself.
the fact that these things dont work is an if
what do you guys think is it worth the risk? for $150 htc one sprint silver
Don't plan on using abroad, if I understand correctly, and I think I doo.
