Hi,
I hope this is not a dupe question, but I have searched and not found the answer I was looking for. Do we have a definitive answer as to whether or not a retail unit that came with a locked bootloader can be unlocked?
Thanks,
Mike

Guys I have an option of buying Atrix from US At&t version or Canada BELL version. I'm going to be unlocking the phone so I guess warranty is void at that point. I have heard that there are some differences between Atrix AT&T version and BELL. Does anybody know what the differences are other than the price $499US or $599CAN? Which phone should I buy?
Thanks for your time.

Hi everyone. I am desperately trying to find the answer to this question and I am running out of time. I am presently on holiday in the U.S. and I have calculated that i can buy a Galaxy Tab 7 Plus in the U.S. for the equivalent of around £ 280.00. That is a huge saving on the U.K. Price. However I want to make sure that the Tab will be compatible with the U.K. Google Market first. I just want to make sure that as the device will be software registered as a U.S. device it will allow me to use the U.K. Market. Or is there a work around? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When you get back to England you may just have to do a factory reset but not likely it should be fine for a sure answer would be best to ask in the device forum
Thank you for the prompt response. I will ask in the appropriate forum as you suggest.
I would check with Samsung UK. Send them an e-mail.
Hi everyone,
So I'm looking to buy a Galaxy S3 and the best price I've found so far has been online. Oh, you should probably know I'm in China right now. The website is Taobao and I use google translate to try and figure out what I'm staring at.. I'm not allowed to post a link, but if you google 'taobao' and 'galaxy s3' I think you'll understand why I haven't bought the phone yet. You see, there's one thing I can't make heads or tails of: what are these 'versions'. I'm worried that if I get the wrong version, it won't work when I go back to my home country (the Netherlands), or maybe it will, but without internet (or only 2g).. Do you think you can you help me out? A friend told me it doesn't matter and that as long as it's an i9300 it'll work everywhere, but I just want to make sure. Plus, this just got me really curious about what the difference between a Eurasian and Asia-pacific edition is...
Thanks in advance for your help!
European aka i9300. Most moddable and common model, which means best support.
Hi. I found a Galaxy Note N7000 at ebay at a very good price, but it is locked to Orange. I would like to know if unlocking is possible at all.
I don't want to buy it and not be able to use it
Hey all, I am very interested in this phone, but I have a question...
I had the Z1s on T-Mobile, and as far as I remember, it wasn't rootable, and I couldn't put my custom rom on there. Is this possible with the Z2? I would love to have a stock Google rom on there if possible, as I am not a fan of the Sony skin and bloatware, but I am loving the phone design, and camera.
Just make sure you buy one with an unlockable bootloader (not carrier branded) and root is no problem
I was planning on ordering through Amazon, I believe it says it is unlocked.

Will that work on T-Mobile?
Yes - I'm using it on tmobile. It gets LTE.

I'm also looking at getting a Z2 to use on T-Mobile in the US. I hope this unit you linked to is bootloader unlockable. Is this the lowest price you have found? I'm searching high and low for the best price before pulling the trigger.
Thats the best price that I've found online.
