Bought the 7T pro on launch day through a Three UK contract, love this phone a nice upgrade from my 5T but I was surprised that it was bundled with a few three apps.
My question is are three phones a different bootloader and separate firmware from a store bought one?
that's mine got an update last night for front camera at night ipmrovements
Got mine on Three UK too and it did not have any bundled carrier apps. I have rooted and updated to oxygen 10.0.3.HD01AA with no problems

Hi all,
I'm keen to get the Mate 10 (non Pro) 6GB/128GB now - and I see some of you have it! (I have the Mate 9 Pro)
I'm in the UK - where's a good place to buy it? I see Wondamobile and TradingShenzhen and some of you give good reviews.
A few places like Banggood have it but not available for weeks.
Can this version be rebranded? FunkyHuawei seem to do it?
I have purchased from Wonda before with good service. Took a while to arrive though! Thinking of the Mate 10 at moment!
I've been in touch - FH say that the Chinese version of the 6GB/128GB can be rebranded to Asia. They're saying not to rebrand to Europe as this is a single sim ROM and they don't know how the second sim slot will behave.
So where can I buy it? Somewhere preferably that can avoid import customs and tax to the UK?

According to Wonda Mobile website, they have arrangements with shipping courier to pay all VAT and import fees. The price at checkout is FINAL. No need to risk being charged a VAT up to 20%
This explains why they're about £50 more than anyone else.
Giztop now appear to have stock and cheaper than Wonda(£699) or Shenzhen(£649) at £615

But Wonda will rebrand the phone for you and have excellent ratings.

I have ordered it from Wonda and asked them to rebrand it to L29C636. I know it's more but I hear it's very difficult to rebrand so I will let them do it.
I'm quite curious as to how well this particular model would work on AT&T in the US? I'd love to grab it but $900 is very pricey if I cannot take full advantage of its connectivity.
Guy's I would recommend Wonda Mobile, I have bought a total of 22 phones from them in 12 months and never had a single issue

That's a lot of phones to buy one year ?
I just ordered from them. First time. My mate 10 is due to arrive this Thursday.
@tboy2000 how much extra for the rebranding?

I just sent them an email asking if they could rebrand it to L29 for me. They said yes. Whether they have done so, I shall find out when I receive it on Thursday. Fingers crossed.

This is getting exciting! I'm still a little confused about versions. Is the L29C636 the Asian version? Is this version devoid of all the Chinese features, but allows two LTE sims? Whereas the "European" version only allows one sim? Are there other differences. Anyways, please keep folks posted on how it works out. Thanks!

Yes - that's the sum of it.
You may find that you can't do OTA if you're outside Asia. I have a Mate 9 Pro - L29C636 and until very recently, I had to install updates via Funky Huawei. Huawei seem a little odd in their approach to updating - your device needs to be authorized to receive it, but if you were in the wrong region for your phone, it wouldn't update without a sim from that region.
Saying all that, my Mate 9 Pro received, for the very first time, an OTA update this week.

Ok. Hopefully the OTA situation changes with Mate 10. One more question. Do voice commands for default apps work in English using Asian version? For example, I have a Chinese version of the Mate 9. The default phone app allows voice commands to answer phone but you had to say "answer" in Chinese. It could not be made so that you could say "answer" in English. Thanks!

My understanding is that Asian version ties up to Singapore, where the default language in English. I've never encountered anything remotely Chinese on my 'Asian' version. I use Google Now, but not used voice commands per se!
Hello. Why is the August Update Delayed?

Yep same here. Asking Huawei UK on Twitter when further updates are being released. They initially said 148 was released yesterday for C432 so waiting for confirmation back.
BLA-L09 Hungary is still nothing. What does the package contain?
I'm in Portugal with BLA L29 with C432...
No update at the moment!
According to the firmware program, the BLA-L09 145 C432 for today 150 available? What about updates?
Just came in here as well, in Amsterdam on KPN network.
The update was released. ... 148 C432. 550 MB. GPU TURBO. I'm wondering how to use the battery.
Any updates yet? Still no update here in asia
Huawei nova 3 GPU turbo rolled out today.
Just arrived in Portugal

Yup, I have the same thoughts. I bought mine 2 weeks ago, and it's still on version 65. I relisted it on swappa after having it for 3 weeks and getting nowhere in trying to get it updated. Such an awesome piece of hardware, but such crappy software support.
Thankfully, I still have my crappy, unrootable LG V10 as my daily driver.

Nah, I reckon I'm behind you in the list!
I had high hopes for this device, I've owned it 2 months now (replaced a Note 8) and received an update straight away, that was the only one I've received! I'm still on 1st June security patch which will soon be 5 months old!!

Lol I've been with 3 for couple yrs and just moving to Vodafone now cause 3 signal and speeds are terrible compared to Vodafone and ee I just bought my 7t pro outright and got a cheaper SIM only
I guess the 7T Pro is sort of "meh", incremental as it is, and is probably bought by people who didn't buy the 7 Pro. What remains to be seen, is how many ROMs, tweaks and apps developed for the 7 Pro that will also work on the 7T Pro.

Has been fine good coverage in the SE though. VoLTE is working so is VoWIFI. So far seems solid.

This was supposed to be on sale in the UK on the 27th of march.
I search the Xiaomi UK shop every day and still nothing.
I emailed Xiaomi support and all they said was "keep watching the UK site"
The phones are there for one to look at. But that's all. One can't buy a Mi 10\Pro for love or money.
I have noticed that there is an Italian\French\German only version of this phone.
WTF is Xiaomi up to?
Any ideas?
PS. Yes I know I can buy the China version now.

Good point.
I was going to get the Pro version from china.
But sending it back to china has put me off.
But I still can't find a UK release date.
Today is the 5th day of owning and using it. Got it from o2 with a payment in installment for 16€ (750€)a month for the 128gig EEA Version. Amazon is selling the 256gig Version for 899€ here in Germany. I like it very much. Easy to root, wich i dont need for now, because matching boot.img is already available.
Where did xiaomi stated that EEA is only released in 3 european countrys?
i ordered mine from amazon spain
Can you root this phone, or are only certain models rootable?

As far as I know it's got to be the global version but I could be wrong. Your best bet if you want to purchase it is go thru AliExpress and choose the option to have them install the global ROM . Then plan on waiting 4 weeks for it to arrive ctfu. When I ordered mine it made it from china and thru US customs in about a week. It ended up somewhere in jersey, where it sat for 3 weeks before finally getting shipped to me here in PA
