Hi,
Does anyone know whether the Nokia 8 john Lewis sells supports dual sim, or know anywhere else that sells a dual sim supporting model in the UK?
Thanks
For anyone else looking for a UK Dual Sim model, they're almost impossible to find. The BT Shop lists them at £521 (yes £220 more than most places currently list the single sim ) but I couldn't find them elsewhere. Plenty of grey imports on Amazon, and ebay has the usual sellers importing the Asian market version from China but trying to pretend they're based elsewhere, with the usual warranty risks. I went with purchasing an EU model from Clove - they're slightly dearer than the UK single sim versions, but not too bad. I'm guessing pressure from UK network providers is why we largely get single sim versions. Probably not a big issue for folks who live and work in one place, but I've yet to find a network provider who offers consistently good data coverage across Kent.
I looked at the 7 plus as an alternative (surprisingly hard to choose between the two) but I think the Nokia 8 still has the edge and Dual Sim versions of the 7 Plus aren't any easier to find in the UK.

I'm currently in China, and I have ordered my One. My Chinese level isn't so good, so I am unsure if the phone I am getting is the international version or the Chinese version. Looking on the HTC China website, it is advertising the model with the removable back cover. Anyone with greater knowledge on these matters than me know if these phones will be compatible for the Roms/kernels that will be made for the international version?
As far as I know, the only difference is the inclusion of dual sim cards and the micro sim.

It's hard to say because of the limited information still available on the Chinese variants. Typically the China Unicom version is closest to the international version and with other devices, international Roms work. China mobile will definitely not work because they use TD-CDMA which is unique to China mobile only. China telecom should also be similar to China unicom version.
I am buying straight from HTC, but they are advertising the removable back cover on their website... So I am unsure if that means they won't be selling the international version in their retail stores.

the HTC china version is different from international, it has 3 version TDCDMA, WCDMA, and CDMA2000. the WCDMA varience support two sim card (one WCDMA micro sim one GSM normal sim), pls micro sd card.
i'm also in China and actually interesting in this model as well, but there will probably be very little XDA support(custom rom) , so i may end up getting the international version.
also note that the WCDMA only support 900/2100MHz band.
I'm just about to make the same decisions.
Now that I've ruled out the Xperia Z and am getting ready to buy the HTC One, I'm surely interested in the benefits of having an SD-slot as well as Dual Sim support, but worry that I might not get to participate on the customs rom frenzy, even if it is just to get rid of all the pre-installed Unicom crap.
Has anybody had the chance to try it out yet?
The Hong Kong variant has LTE 1800/2600, I was wondering if anyone has gotten it working with Canadian Carriers after unlock.
As far as I know. As long as your phone from HK is running the network bands as Canada, which it should be able to work in Canada. Most phones that are purchased in HK are good to go in Canada as long as you don't buy them from carriers but buy them from 3rd party stores. If you're unsure, generally I recommend bringing in a Canadian sim card to ensure the phone is fully functional with your sim card before bringing it back to Canada. And this is something that I do with all my phones that I purchase from HK or any stores in the world that claims their phones to be network unlocked.
If you're still not too confident, you can always check up sites like gsmarena or ringhk to be 100% sure.
Hi guys,
I need your help in something, im searching to buy the Nokia 8 Dual SIM variant, unfortunately here in Cyprus where i live the haven't brought the phone yet so i'm looking to order it online.
But the think is that from Ebay or some other website that i looked they sell the TA-1052 variant which is for China/Taiwan market. Or mostly they sell the Single SIM variant.
Do you know where i can find the TA-1004 Dual SIM version ?
Thanks !
Nokia official shop. I just bought one

In most of the EU countries dual sim is available from Nokia directly or major resellers. Just order it online.
Unfortunately in Cyprus there is no Nokia official shop here and the reseller is going to bring only the Single SIM version.
In Greece which i'm also searching most of them they have the Single SIM version, some others that the list a Dual SIM version they mention the TA-1052 variant which is meant for the Chinese market
If you can suggest a website it would be great because so far only the Single SIM i'm finding...
Edit: And also if if i find a Dual SIM model they only have it in Steel color and not in Tempered Blue which i'm looking for.
I can not specify a known and valid online shop in EU which would send abroad. Amazon maybe?
I bought mine in PL, but dual sim tempered blue is easy available in other EU countries like Germany, Netherlands, Belgium etc.
Dunno if it helps you but I got my dual sim tempered blue nokia 8 from amazon india website. I am from India and the model i am holding( in fact typing this message) is a "Made in India" Nokia 8 model.
Just for your info.
They are for sale on amazon.es (Spain) not sure if they ship to Cyprus though.
Finally i found it through ebay (Germany) and bought at lower price than Cyprus and already received it...
Thanks for your help and suggestions !
Can anyone confirm what the model number is for the UK dual sim version of the P20 Pro? E.g. The model number of the infamous Three network contract version I've seen mentioned numerous times?
Does anyone know whether there are other UK dual sim sellers now also given its been some months since release?
On the Huawei UK website I noticed that in the technical specs (under the "SIM" section) it says that the twilight version is only in dual sim.. Correct or a mistake?
https://consumer.huawei.com/uk/phones/m/p20-pro/tech-specs/
Hoping its correct, because Carphone warehouse sell the twilight colour, so they may be selling the dual sim version without acknowledging it. I called CPW and they said that I "should assume its single sim as CPW website doesn't state dual sim".

Nope single sim. My twilight colour was dispatched by CPW and it is single sim. AFAIK, only 3 have the dual sim variant in the UK
C782 (CLT-L29). No idea about the colour though, mine's midnight blue.
I also got a Twilight in the UK from mobiles.co.uk (part of the Carphone Warehouse group).
I bought it on a Vodafone contract but is unlocked.
I hoped for dual SIM but it is model number CLT-L09 and sadly only single SIM
Needing a dual SIM phone for one of my clients. He is coming from an 8T. He bought an Unlocked 10 Pro from the US OnePlus website only to realize it is single sim. A quick search shows the international version has dual sim support Checking on Amazon I see both an international version and a Chinese version? The Chinese version also sells for about $200 less. I searched and could find very little about each phone working in the US. Are both these phones International and Chinese the same phone? Both dual SIM? Both have the same bands? If I purchase the Chinese version will I need to flash with a global or US rom?
Any drawbacks to having either phone in the US?
Thanks

I'm in the UK and have the NE2213 which is essentially the global version.
Personal I'd avoid the Chinese version but that's me
You can change region but I'd rather pay the money and get the real deal.
Warranty is going to he an issue, unless you're buying it from Amazon.
As far I've read the EU / NE2213 should work as expected for what you want.
Have a google for what signal bands are required for the sins you're going to be using , it should still work but best to verify
me too bought USA version and later found that its single sim 2215. I converted to 2211 and enable dual sim support, added second imei, inserted dual sim tray as well but no matter what second imei is always null and second sim never detected.
