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.

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
https://www.giztop.com/phones/huawei-mate-10.html
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

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!
Just picked up my mate 10 pro upgrade from Vodafone this morning. Came with a free Huawei Watch 2 which was a result
When you first power it up it detects an operator ota update which downloads apps but importantly it also enables WiFi calling.
My previous device was a mate 9 6gb version and this already feels more premium.

This confirms what I knew that Volte only works with carrier branded ROMS.
didn't realise Vodafone were selling the M10Pro. That could have only come up recently as it was only CPW and Three that were stocking them.
It was shown as coming soon on Vodafone for the last couple of weeks. They never mentioned it on social media tho and the first 1000 customers get a free Huawei watch 2 which is a bonus

Everything seems to just work and battery is really good, camera awesome and no screen issues at all. Don't miss 2k at all, screens too small to notice the difference to me

Ooh exciting. I wonder if it's the same for all UK carriers. Can you show a screenshot to enable it?
There’s no real screen shot. When the phone detects the sim, it provisions it and install or adds (not sure exactly what’s going on) the respective software needed to automatically do what’s needed. Under networks this is what I see
Also top left status bar normally shows “3 WiFi Calling”
This is the single sim version from Carphone Warehouse. I have the dual sim version coming from Amazon Germany later this week.
As the Mate 10 Pro (dual sim) is Dual VoLTE(4G calling) capable, then it would be really nice to see this tested in UK. Every provider in UK who has VoLTE support for P10, should be good with Mate 10 Pro also.
What's interesting is that the WiFi calling shortcut can't be found on the Vodafone update. It appears as a to-do option and once you've enabled it the option vanishes completely. As you can see tho it still works
I got mine from Carphonewarehouse (sim unlocked) but once I put the Three sim inside it downloaded a tonne of Three apps and even branded itself to them

Does anyone have experience with the Mate 10 Pro BLA-L29 alp working on U.S.A. Networks? I am on Cricket Wireless and would like to have a version without potential AT&T Bloatware, that also works with the Cricett/AT&T network. Please let me know if anyone has success or insight, thanks.
I purchased the standard Mate 10 ALP-AL00 with L29 Rom installed. It should be fairly similar to the Pro. I'll report my experience when it arrives.

They just flash the rom. They can unlock the bootloader upon request but I don't think they root.

Amazon is partially supporting advertisement that promotes the availability of the L00 series... I believe this is the Chinese variant. What are the safe models to get that are fully English?
HI I am on this version and I am on the Tmobile Network. Everything works except obviously WIFI calling and volte. I have had excellent reception around NYC and NJ so far.
I have the BLA-L29 in Alabama and no issues with Cellular Radio at all. The only thing I am having an issue with so far is Bluetooth disconnects. I am going to reset my bluetooth headset itself first and hopefully that will resolve the issue. Else, I've tested on AT&T get around 70M down (LTE) and around 10M while on a phone call (3G speeds).
Just wanted to start a thread for UK owners of Mate 10 pro (normal mate 10 not available here), to see if the firmware updates are coming to certain carriers first.
Myself Im on O2 network and am still on original 115 firmware. What network and firmware is everyone else on?

My Mate 9 is on December security patch and I am sure it will get January security patch soon too. But disappointing the mate 10 Pro isn't getting updates sooner. Huawei should be pushing the updates quicker or letting users who check manually trigger the update process every month as only the Techies will be doing that.

Mate 10 pro was bought outright from CPW... no monthly contract....so should have been sim-free....
Just took my (three) sim out of my s8+ and plonked it into the mate 10 pro.

Completely agree, makes me wonder if it would be better to sell and get a Pixel 2 XL. At least the updates would be regular. Huawei need to up their game in this respect.
It annoys me that I'm running the October security patch and we are now into January with no sign of an update.

I too did look at the Pixel XL 2 (own the original pixel XL 128GB) but I can't get away from the single overwhelming fault of the pixel XL 2..... it is so utterly ugly.
I've played with it in the CPW shops (and all the screens have burn-in) and it looks awful.... I know, looks aren't everything, but google are asking flagship money for this !!!
The main positives I can see for the XL 2 is the camera gets great reviews, and the good software experience....but I am seriously impressed with the camera on the mate 10 pro [if only it would default to HDR being on !!!!] and that is comparing it to the likes of the S8+ and the pixel XL... and the software is pretty darn slick too...
Google seems to make great but flawed phones..

Agree with most of that. Due to work my phones go straight into a case, so looks are not so important to me.
Camera on both devices are very good, but pixel edges it I think due to night time shots.
Battery on Mate 10 pro will be better I think, which is the main reason I have stuck with the phone.
Just a few annoying glitches like the scrolling Widgets not working, if they could fix these problems and provide regular updates, it would be a great phone.

Yes this is beyond frustrating because my mate 9 is already on December security patch while my mate 10 Pro is on October and it's the New flagship. I am seriously considering getting the Pixel 2 XL as it's only £69 more now at CPW, but considering the hardware isn't really up to scratch that's what is putting me off. And I love the mate 10 Pro size fits in one hand

Finally on 124, OTA was pushed this morning. Bought the phone from CPW when it came out in mid November. I'm on 3 network.
At last
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
