Hi, I'm far more interested in the variant for the Japanese market than the American one, mainly because of storage expandability and water proof ability. However, has the J Butterfly been officially launched in Japan yet? If so, are there any legit online legible stores where I can get one?

I too am interested in this. I would much rather have a microSD slot than wireless charging. And that red device is über attractive. I've been doing some research and it appears that this device should be carrier unlocked like the DNA is http://www.phonearena.com/news/HTC-Droid-DNA-comes-unlocked-for-use-with-any-SIM-card_id36652 However au KDDI's LTE bands are at 800MHz not Verizon's 700Mhz http://www.japanmobiletech.com/2012/09/more-details-on-kddi-4g-lte-iphone-5.html?m=1
HTC J Butterfly pamflet!
http://htcsoku.info/au-deluxe_j-pamphlet/
it has been released already here in Japan since last December 9.
And I'm loving it!... :good:
It was released in Kanto areas of Japan on Dec. 9th.
Other areas of Japan are the 14th, and 21st.
However I was told by a girl in the AU shop here in Osaka that the J Butterfly would be available the 12th. So I'm heading down today to take a look.
HTC Buttefly not in preorder for EU from Expansys
After a short period when HTC Butterfly was on preorder at Expansys, yesterday i receive an e-mail from Expansys:
Dear Customer,
Thank you for your recent interest and preorder of the HTC Butterfly.
Unfortunately, we have now been informed by HTC that this device will
not be available in European markets, and as such we have had to
remove it from our website and cancel your preorder.
We are sorry for any disappointment that this may cause.
An alternative model to the Butterfly that may be of interest is the
HTC One SV which will be available in early January and is available
to preorder now: http://www.expansys.com/htc-one-sv-blue-240562/
Regards,
EXPANSYS

I live in the uk and am eagerly anticipating the release of the motorola Atrix. However, I don't really want to wait ages for an orange release and would prefer an unlocked phone anyway (no contracts and the like). What should I do? I know there's expansys etc. but I am concerned about a warranty. Should I be? I am really just looking for some helpful advice.
i heard you can send it to any motorola services centre for the warranty no?

Doesn't mater where you buy it from, you will have a warranty with the manufacturer. I have had to send stuff back to Expansys before and had no problems
Thanks! i was just a bit worried i would lose out on something. now all i have to do is wait for an unlocked version to be released, or even announced :/
Any news on UK release dates yet?
It's slated for a Q2 release in the UK (Most likely to be around mid May), I'll try find the source I got it from.
This is unconfirmed though.
Any ideas on what the price might be for it? BTW this is for the regular Atrix and not the 4G
I'm from Israel and we use 3G bands similar to Europe, the Artix 4G supports HSDPA at the 2100 MHZ band and so do some European carriers (including mine). Does that mean I can just order the U.S version and it will work ok? if so, no need to wait for UK dates or any other European release

It seems you'd better ask a friend of yours in US to bring it over. That's what I'm going to do. USD399 is way better than GBP399 (surely it's going to be more than that).
Atrix 4g and atrix is the same phone. In america they have verizon lte 4g so t-mobile and att started calling their hsdpa+ 4g which is nonsense. You'd need to check the bands to ensure it works. Should be ok as im sure moto support most. You'll need to wait for an unlock in anycase as only on at&t i think if coming from america. I would buy from expansys although they can be expensive. If you import you need to add the vat which you'll get billed for 2 weeks after purchase by the courier.
I can't wait to get mine!
Btw. I bought a droid pro from usa and it worked fine.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
According to this it will be released in May 2011 in the UK, and exclusive to Orange.
The difference between atrix 4g and atrix for europe could be regarding frequencies: 4g shold be 3g on frequencies 850/1900/2100 while european version 850/900/1900/2100. This should be not a problem because almost in all europe 3g works on 2100 Mhz frequency. What do you think about it?
I'm a UK user too.
I'm torn between this and the Samsung Galaxy S II.
I hear the Atrix is gonna be Orange exclusive which is crappy.
No news on the sammy yet though... :S
Mid July according Expansys
BUt Expansys have changed there site to show a price of £474.99 SIM free, which seems very reasonable, really. But no release date, now
I'm sure my old Touch Pro 2 was around the £600 mark when it first came out
Another pending UK user here too..
Lurking here in the meantime.
I've seen July mentioned by Expansys. Have also signed up for notifications from Play.com on their product placeholder page.
Galaxy S II looks like an early March release according to various gadget sites.

I quote you, it's a good price 475£ seeing that expansys usually is very expensive, and 475£ become for me using my valid italian vat number 395£ (460 euros about) which is a great price. I don't think release date to uk is july, july would be too late. At this point I will buy it from USA the same day it will be available sim free ( I think mid or late march).
I heard that T-mobile will only launch the handset (Galaxy S2) in June. I have found some deals on PhonesUnlimited (contract deals website) and i found a perfect offer on T-mobile. So im wondering if i order it now will i get it now or do i have to wait all the way till june?
Thanks

I'm not sure about PhonesUnlimited but it's common for third party sellers to bundle contracts with unbranded/unlocked phones. If you wait until June for the T-Mobile version it will be network locked and have their own branding. Not a plus for me.
mobiles.co.uk phones are always unbranded and you can £50 back with Quidco.
So i can buy it right without worries?
As long you know the seller is legit you won't have any probs.
Ok, thanks everyone
I decided to go with phones4u instead as they have a better deal and i know they are credible
Hi
So I'm interested in buying the jetstream, but I have some questions, especially for people living outside the US.
I understand I will have to buy a code to undo the sim lock, and I will have to find a friend with a US social security number, and someone who can post the Jetstream onto me from the states.
My questions are:
I know that the UK does not have LTE yet, but will the jetstream work through 3g networks in the UK?
Will the warranty apply outside the US? How long is the warranty for?
Also, I know this has probably been asked before, but has anyone heard about a UK release?
Some more general questions:
Did anyone buy the gel case from AT&T? is it any good?
Do you have to add the pen to basket to get the reduction or does it come bundled?
Has anybody had any joy with writing recognition overlay apps?
Thanks a lot
Hi,
no problems using the HTC Jetstream outside of the US, i use it in the middle east over 3G networks.
get one to yourself, unlock it from AT&T to use any SIM and enjoy.
Mine came without the pen, i will get one for myself.
So far, its an amazing tablet, superb screen respond and amazing resultion of true colors.
got mine over ebay.
Sent from my HTC PG09410 using XDA App
Hi Everyone,
I'm dying to get one and I've searched ebay inside out with no positive results so far. Could someone please provide me with some links on where this tablet can be purchased?
Thanks in advance

Do you have any idea what the status of the AT&T warranty is if the item is damaged outside the states?
cheers
works like a charm
Can confirm it works perfectly well once unlocked.....posting from Saudi on my jetstream right now and just last week all 3 networks here upgraded to provide 4G LTE I also bought the HTC gel case from AT&T it fits like a glove as it should as it is made by HTC and feels great, however it is very RED, but with nothing else out there right now so bit the bullet and purchased.
When I ordered online pen was automatically in basket.
In a recent interview with an HTC bigwig he stated the jetstream would not be introduced in Europe due to AT&T exclusive Plus lack of LTE services in Europe but HTC were working on other tablets for the region.

Hi, I tried to order it myself, but in AT&T webstore after step 1 they impose you a monthly plan before checkout.
Since I'm outside US I'd like it to come without SIM card, how did you do?
If I remove dataplan it doesn't allow me to proceed.
Thanks for sharing
I don't know if this is the proper place to ask this but i can't find definite answer anywhere.
When is the moto E coming to canada specifically ontario? Most sites I looked at say late june. well here we are in very late june and nothing listed anywhere. I want to buy one unlocked without contract as I will be using it both in canada and US.
My current phone (HTC Desire C) is killing itself
Moto Z and Z Play have been launched today in Malaysia during an event in Kuala Lumpur.
I'm in Kuala Lumpur these day and I could be interested in buying one Moto Z if it will be the same as Indian version....
What is not still clear is what version will be sold here: 32GB? 64GB? Single or double SIM? When it will be available to stores?
Motorola Malaysia is very evasive on this... Someone has more sharp informations about it?
Before today some online retailer were selling some imported UK version here... but now?
It 64gb dual sim version XT1650-3.

Great! But lowyat.NET is a very "weird" web site...
They have news, forum, etc... but where I can shop on it?
Have you already received your? If not do you have an estimated date of receiving?
Do they have a phisical shop in Kuala Lumpur? Is it the Low Yat plaza CC? Because I've done two visit there in these days and I've not seen a single Motorola!
Please, let me know... Thanx again!

Yes, Motorola Malaysia confirmed on its Facebook page that is a dual SIM too... BUT I need one before me departure on November, 14th... and I think it would be hard since of what they declared...
I've understood you had already got one...
I bought mine via online expansys and shipped to Malaysia, takes about 2 weeks. RM2320 but single sim 32GB storage. You really need the dual sim? or the 64GB storage?

No, this is the UK version online resellers got from Hong Kong by Expansys before official launch... the specific Malaysian version is 64 GB Dual SIM.... anyway I'll not be able to got it before my departure on November, 14th I think...
Do you know a *valid* Lenovo reseller in Kuala Lumpur? (Physical shop I mean...)

Sorry I did not clarify. This morning they listed in Lazada and 11street as 32GB, and now thry changed it to 64GB. Im very sure it was listed by Lenovo Malaysia because they included the free JBL for first 50 customers.
Sorry pal but you got to keep your hopes very very low, no one in Malaysia really cares about Moto series. Try it, go to any lenovo store and ask them if they have clue about Moto Z. Looks like you gotta try flipkart india to get the dual sim 64GB.

I saw... technical level and knowledge of market of physical resellers is very low here in Kuala Lumpur: they all sell the same three/four brands (mainly Samsung, Oppo, Asus, Huawei, Yes and few other...) and have a very low knowledge of the market. None of the Lenovo reseller I contacted neither knew that Moto Z was out and that it would be sold by Lenovo resellers...
I can understand that is a new product here, BUT if you sell smartphones you have to know ALL THE market. Moto Z is out from June and on YouTube is full of review of it... how they can't even know it?
I live in Italy, I don't sell smartphone, BUT I know a lot of phones sold in China only like Umi, Dogee, e.g....
