Yeah its finaly in stock now in the Lenovo EU Store I just bought a gray one
The gray model is: ZA1F0021SE and US model is: ZA1H0003US so the fist one must be the EU model.

Change link to your country.
With a bit of URL manipulation I was able to find it in the FR, ES, NL and DE shops, but couldn't find a way to buy it in the UK shop. So I tried to buy it from the FR, DE or NL shops, but they won't allow a shipping address in the UK
fyi, that's

http://shop.lenovo.com/es/es/smartphones/lenovo/phab2-pro/
http://shop.lenovo.com/fr/fr/smartphones/lenovo/phab2-pro/
the price in all except FR is €500 including sales tax and shipping which is what I expected - US$533 equivalent. For some reason the FR price is only €484 - use the voucher "XMAS-FR" at checkout for a discount code.
edit: Special deal in France expired.

Also in stock on Amazon.com, but they don't send it to EU. Still no track and trace from my Lenovo store order.
It's now on sale in the UK. Sadly, Lenovo have decided to rip us off and sell it for GB£500

I was very close to buying the HN8, but the lack of Euro LTE bands put me off, as well as the Huawei Android Skin and the amount of tweaking you have to do to it.
Now you've got both, and presumably fixed up the HN8, which would you buy again? Or would you go for the Asus Zf3U?
thanks

For me the HN8 is much better than the PP2. The Super AMOLED beats the IPS screen from the PP2. I send the PP2 back to Lenovo. I didn't try the ZF3U because it has a 1080p screen and don't want to go back to that.

the HN8 is also the only one out of the three where you can currently unlock the bootloader.
I agree that the AZf3U's 6.8" screen really needs better than 1080p.
The UK and French shops say out of stock.
The Netherlands shop says no longer available.
The German shop says only 4 left in gold, more than ten available in grey.
The Spanish shop says stock exhausted
I suspect that Lenovo didn't actually make all that many of these phones... or had a production problem which is why they took so long to put them on sale.
All the shops now have stock again.
The UK pricing is still a rip-off
Italy: silver not available, the gold is in stock.
Orders are fulfilled by digital River, probably shipped from the same EU warehouse.

I'm thinking of buying the sim free S3 in either amazon.fr or amazon.de because it's cheaper than in my country and that way I wont have to buy a charger like I would if ordering from UK (Portugal doesn't have an official price yet but if the unlocked HOX costs about 699 € S3 will be at least that much).
It will be my first samsung and from what i've been reading there's a lot of firmware versions (In my htc desire I just had to search for a "world wide english" version) will I have to stick with the firmware from france or germany when updating or can I just flash any firmware from "Portugal" or "Open Europe" later? Will the original firmware have any problems working in other countrys?
Thanks
I always try buying from Amazon.de if it is possible, and i have also bought many times from UK Amazon as well, so I would recommend German one, the delivery is quicker, the prices are better.

good call mate your spot on it is cheaper on the German Amazon and Google translate does the job when ordering so no language barrier, how long for delivery though to the rest of Europe and i assume no excess is paid like if you order a product from USA,etc?
I've ordered mine from the German Amazon. Had it pre ordered from Expansys, but they are selling the S3 at a much higher price, so I ended up canceling the order.
Cheers
Yeah ill definily be ordering from the German Amazon website, the UK one is much higher and don't get me started on the likes on Play.com and expansys they are about €90 dearer than Amazon.de
---------- Post added at 10:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 PM ----------
Wont make any difference at all but emailed expansys
I notice on your website you are charging €664.99 for the Samsung Galaxy S3 but on the German Amazon website it is available for €588.80 plus €7 postage with a delivery time of between 2 to 9 days but having uses Amazon.de before they usually deliver within 5 days or less so im wondering what incentive it would give me to spend an extra €70 odd quid with Expansys?

People from different countries have different delivery methods available
Hello guys !
Anyone have a good feedback from the amazon.de ?? never bought there anything from them before and im also interested in buying from them also !!
Some feedback would be nice, especially from portuguese people !!
Regards
Limaspt
What can i say, they are Amazon, so they follow the same standards. Good service, good customer support
Can anyone help with the original post questions?
Hello,
If i understand your question you want to know if the software will work in our language, if this is the case you can be rested, since the moment you turn on your phone for the first time you can put the base language in portuguese, english, french and some others.
The only thing that wont work in portuguese its the Svoice, there are no suport in our beloved language.
Hope it helps !!
Regards
Limas
Also, just be aware that, if you order from Amazon.de or .fr, their website price will be at their VAT, eg 19% for Germany, but you will be charged at the VAT rate for the delivery country, 23% I believe in Portugal. So the price from German Amazon would be about 608,59€ plus postage for delivery to Portugal. It only shows up after you have inserted your delivery address. That may still be good value for you but you should be aware of it.
EDIT: Though having just looked at the price on French Amazon, I am sure you won't want to buy from there. 649€!
Thanks for the answers. I should be able to change the firmware to a diferent official one or do i have to stick with the stock one (from germany for example)?

Let's say that after the phone is out for sale you will be able to change almost anything in the soft/firmware, the guys here in the XDA are magicians, they can do almost everything... so no need for worrys.
There is only one "but", its our country itself, the things here usualy go on a slow pace, im almost 100% sure that we will need about 2 or 3 months to have a official portuguese rom, but, trust me, if you are in the android wave the las thing you will want its a official portuguese rom.... im talking for the experience i have with android devices.
The SIII will be the third android device i will have, and i really hope that i dont have to stuck with our roms, they are heavy and full of "crap".
When i buy a phone i like to costumise it at my own taste, and not be obliged to have software that i dont want it.... that its what our phone companys do, they make you use what you dont want.....

Joining this discussion a little late, after having ordered my SIII from amazon.de and having it delivered to Italy, I can say that the portuguese (TPH) ROM is preferable to the original German ROM. The bloatware included in the German version is absent in the Portuguese one. Unfortunately, SVoice still doesn't support Portuguese.
Another complete mess is samsung apps, I created my account with a Belgium SIM and now it won't let me install anything unless I have that or another Belgium SIM; if I have an Italian or Portuguese SIM in the phone it will ***** and moan that my samsung account is for Belgium only.

There is one retailer who sells it on eBay for 279,99 GBP (or about 339,21 EUR).
Beware as this a 3G version and not the 4G/LTE version.
Otherwise you can try to buy one on aliexpress dot com but this is some kind of a jungle there as prices can vary from as much as US $449.98 (even US $759 ^^) to as low as US $154.28... ^^
So you have to check out if this is a 4G/LTE version, a 3G version or ... maybe... a fake... so check it out twice about the reliability of the retailer as most if not all of them don't accept Paypal payment...
I have not buy anything yet from aliexpress so I have no experience with them : I've heard both about very positive and very negative evaluations...
I'm inquiring my banker about what options I have to be sure I can get my money back in case I don't receive the product or if it the product is not as described.
A few days ago I've seen a thread on XDA about a review of this Huawei Honor Mediapad X1 product and about the low prices, but sounds like this thread has been deleted or moved, so I can't retrieve any feedbacks from those who tried to buy it at low cost... ^^

But if you have sport,mountain, fishing pants with large side pockets or a jacket with large pockets it's not a problem...
I've got the first Galaxy Tab 7" from Samsung (GT-P1000) thicker and heavier than the Mediapad X1 and it was very nice.
Then with the Galaxy tab 7.7, I've got to have systematically a small rucksack with me... ^^
That's the reason, I want to buy this Mediapad X1 as Samsung didn't released any good 7" pad anymore. Since the very first GT-P1000/GT-1010, Samsung's 7 inches pads are still with a crappy 1024x600 display resolution...

At present time, the price on aliexpress or To2c is about US $353.99 or even cheaper for the 3G version so about 256 €, when sciphone sells the same product for 305 € (so about US $ 421 for a 3G version)...
And this is a chinese website retailer, NOT a US or European retailer. So guarantee isn't better than aliexpress or To2c as if we have any problems the product has to be sent to Chine or so... ^^

I have been trying to buy one this week. I cancelled my order when it turned out it was for the 503L Chinese version with TDD LTE only which doesn't work here in the UK. There will be an international version 501L with FDD LTE and TDD LTE available soon which does.
All the models are
Huawei MediaPad X1 7.0 7D-501
Huawei MediaPad X1 7.0 7D-501L
Huawei MediaPad X1 7.0 7D-501g
Huawei MediaPad X1 7.0 7D-502L
Huawei MediaPad X1 7.0 7D-503L
Huawei MediaPad X1 7.0 7D-504L
I have not found on the web exactly what the differences are but they are 3g or 4g.
Its also called Honor X1, Glory
Have a nice day,
Looks like the 4G version is available now if: you live in Guangdong Province and want it on a China Unicom contract - so no use to most of us
However, it does look like there's a 'flash' sale of contract free X1s next week for Chinese residents. Again, not much use although you can be sure many scalpers and Taobao and Aliexpress agents will be buying them up to sell on/abroad. At 1,999 RMB ($320USD) it's only $30USD up on the 3G variant, although these are obviously local prices.
I guess it may be a month or two before they are on open sale at least. I've still yet to see the 3G version on open sale on either Huawei's own website or in local phone stores despite it being released (in staggered flash sales) for around a month now.
As for the device itself, the 3G version I got a few weeks back is excellent value. Good feel in the hand, not too heavy, and fantastic build quality. The stock EMUI was a bit laggy in places out-of-the-door but there have been 4 OTA updates already so it's clearly being worked on. I run Nova instead and it is fine. Still, it could do with moving to 4.4 rather than the 4.2 that it is at the moment. Next to my 5s, it's crazy to think this is 30% of the price for what you get. I'd put this up there with the OnePlus One (however impossible it might be to acquire one of those) in terms of bang-for-buck. Reading, movie-watching, browsing and gaming are all great and the battery lasts forever. Just wish I could move the power button but have managed to adjust my grip to avoid accidental depressions.
One thing: the Honor brand is mainly for China. I think it'll be known as MediaPad X1 in foreign markets.
The version of the Huawei Mediapad X1 4G i bought is FDD-LTE so it'll work with the french 4G networks (i'm in France obviously..
Can't wait to get this phablet, from what i've been reading so far on the web, this phone is a killer ! I just hope that some devs will start to bring us some good customs roms ! not just a cyanogen rom...
And for those who already got this phone, what about the external speaker ? it seems great from what i heard (DTS technology built-in), can we make the comparaison with the external speaker of the HTC One ?
Would be great if someone could make a full review of this phone ? I know i will when i'll get it
Really hope this is a hit so they make more. It has everything I want with 7in 1080 screen, large battery and sd card. Only problem I have is the cpu which needs to be updated. Think I'll end up passing on this one unless I could find someone that trade it for my GN2.
Hi,
Maybe this can be of use for you if you don't want to send your phone back but are sleeping with a popcorn bag on your phone at night.
This is official from Samsung and it is to check if your phone falls in the faulty category, or if you can sleep in peace at night.

I think it is international. But only replacements can happen in the mentioned areas. I see some German site also talking about it.
But i think we should see if it is valid only for HK, if someone that tests it here has a faulty device, that would mean it works internationally. I saw somewhere that the issue effects 1 out of 42'000 phones sold.

This is only valid for phones bought in Hong Kong.
You can put your IMEI in but it will say it's not affected even if it might be as the check is only done on HK models sold within HK itself.

My guess is that in HK you can buy phones manufactured in China as well as Vietnam and Korea. If you happen to have a Chinese phone, your IMEI is listed as safe, otherwise it suggests to bring the phone in for an exchange. Again, it's only a guess...
this tools for international to i thing, thats why this tools come from samsung website, not only for china, you cant test your emei for faulty or not, great tools, they trace your device only put in emei, you all cant try

If it was as easy as this then Samsung would be advertising it. I don't trust this at all. Fact is, Samsung have already said they can't trace the phones.
I still hope the replacement Note 7 comes with Gorilla Glass 4 Not 5 and they are recalling it in fact because of how easily it scratches.
Mine says "Not Affected".
But i will return my phone tomorrow.
Don't trust this test it's not true. At least for international devices
Try to put false imei and you'll see the same results.
Of course try logical number.

Great minds think alike
Hi there guys..
I just saw an offer on GB for the Honor 9 at € 281, which is indeed a great price. It's the International version, they say but there's something weird.. I read here on xda a few people that ordered the International version (don't know where) that should be AL00 but received Asian version, L29.. He had to flash the international rom. It's not that I fear flashing something but I wouldn't like to buy a thing and receive another one..
Anyway, just in case, flashing the International firmware does stop receiving updates, somehow? Until the firmware is stock, unrooted and bootloader untouched it shouldn't be an issue, I guess..
More important: I read that both versions have the same identical hardware so it's natural to think that the LTE 800 MHz is missing from International version, isn't it? Otherwise what's the difference about? Just a firmware? Still it would be weird because if I recall correctly Honor 8 eu version had it (but I maybe be wrong).
Last but not least, from your personal experience, is it a good device to buy for that price? I' not so sure and I would like to wait for something new but the offer is really good considering the original price..
Mmmm it's weird btw.. I just checked on AliExpress for prices comparison and I found a device with Internetional Honor 9 but the codes to pick from are AL00, AL10 or TL01.. so neither one is Internetional version (yeah I could flash as we said)
EDIT: this is the link https://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_649021.html at normal price, there's a code for discount (if you need tell me via PM I could share, even if there are only 30 so don't know how much they'll be available). From the latter screenshots in the page it seems it should be STF something, could it be? What's that?
The only color available is the pure black, maybe gray is better as overall looking, isn't it?
EDIT2: I see you have it, STF from your signature

As I know all models are Chines, I can be wrong but I saw just L09C300/C900. Thid is code for international rom C300/C900 and this AL00... are Chines models so probably if this models have C300... firmwares yes, can be international

sorry mate I edit my post.. so basically from the link I posted above, the screenshot says STF-L09C432B100 so it should be basically as the one you have.. was your device International when you bought it?

I fear this is the International version signature, the European one (where LTE B20 is used if poor 4G signal) is FRD-L09 or L16 (32GB and 64GB).. I'm really tempted but I'm not sure now
EDIT info here (post 4 and so on) https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/how-to/model-stf-l09-t3636884/page3 and here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/frd-l19-europe-version-64gb-buy-t3458943
This i my case. I live in France, last month I ordered a Honor 9 black on the website priceminister with good offert, saved around 130€ vs buying here. The seller is from China, so I thought this phone is Chinese version, I prepared myself that I will do "rebrand". I received the phone yesterday. It is written AL00 version on the box, but when I started, surprisingly there is already all Google services, and in the settings, it is L09...version, and it received an update to ...130 immediately after. So, I thought the seller did "rebrand" the phone before. I'm happy with it. Only one minus thing, the charger plug is asian type, not european type, I need an adapter

That's the same case with me. Though I don't live in Europe and honor 9 is not officially available but there are grey importers that bring in the phone from China and rebrand it. Luckily the seller did provide an adapter.
Problem is not the model strictly but the fact that only European models have band 20 (800 MHz) for LTE.. (so FRD-etc) ?
Surprised nobody started the waiting room thread by now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so, here we go!

Samsung Galaxy S10+ / Ceramic Black / 521GB
We'll see what Samsung can do.
I'm thinking of unlocked variant to be used on TMO US. Any pros or cons of this?
My estimated ship date is March 15th I ordered it at 6am est?
I just ordered the plus 12gb/1TB in Ceramic White. I'm soo stoked... email says deliver by 3/8 ?
With the stories regarding Samsung's trade in I'm debating whether to go thru BB or Samsung. The latter offers Uni, so it's cheaper.
For those that have pre-ordered (US) can you please mention whether you were charged or not.

I have has problems on Unlocked firmware and Band 71 with my Note 9. Roams and drops the signal at my house, while using TMO Firmware I don't have issues. IF you're not in a Band 71 area it's probably a non-issue.
Also note this was on leaked Pie updates. I don't recall having that issue on Oreo.
I just preordered the S10+ 512 in ceramic black unlocked. I have a shipping date of 03/08. Ordered from Samsung.

Not really.
Except some specific features like wifi calling may not be available. Also, not sure yet, but you were able to flash t-mobile or carrier specific firmware on the unlocked and vice versa. They are generally rocking the same thing.

Where did you order it from, and is it unlocked or carrier?
Just preordered the S10+ unlocked (Blue) 128GB, shipping date of 3/15. That's what I get for waffling.
Hey, any idea when the international versions get released? I thought about waiting for the dual sim version, but couldn't hold myself back.

I currently use the unlocked S8+ on a t-mobile mvno, wifi calling works fine for me. Also, don't quote me on this, but isn't the unlocked firmware supposed to set itself up depending on what carrier sim is installed? Thought I've been reading that for the past few months.

Same thing with me... S10+ Verizon version 512 Ceramic Black - hopefully that date jumps up to March 8th... not sure what the deal is. I ordered mine 2/21 at 10am EST
Samsung.com it's tmobile s10+ 128gb in white
I ordered 2 S10+ with Sprint through Samsung.com after midnight on the 20th. Does anyone know if Samsung ships UPS or FedEx?
S10+ / 128GB / Prism Black / Unlocked
Ships March 16th (due to me waiting a day before ordering it -_-)
AT&T S10+, 128gb, Black glass. I have a N8 to trade in so there was no way I was going to ever be able to get that much selling it outright. Paying $450 out of pocket, THAT I can deal with.

The one thing I haven't cared for with the Unlocked version is they tend to push OTA much slower than the carrier versions, and the Wi-Fi calling feature on the AT&T side is something I lose on U1 firmware

Reserved mine about a week before the Feb 20th
Got an email evening of the announcement day that I can go ahead and pre-order the phone
Preordered Galaxy S10e unlocked model in blue color and 128GB. I thought of picking up T-Mobile version, but then I remembered that I can always easily flash my unlocked phone to a carrier firmware
Don't know when Samsung will actually ship it, but date says "by March 8"

I preordered unlocked phone to be used on T-Mobile too. Most features(WiFi calling, band 12, possibly band 71 and VoLTE) will work on T-Mobile using an unlocked galaxy phone such as S8, 9 and I assume S10 too. One feature may not work is build in T-Mobile Digits, but user can download an app for it if needed or just flash T-Mobile firmware onto an unlocked phone.
sprint shows 3/6 for shipping...
Pre-ordered the Flamingo color s10+ ATT version, pre-ordered from ATT website today at 6 pm, and says it suppose to ship the 11th
