Thanks Samsung France, PALand.

has calmed down a bit.
Methinks an M9 OT may not be necessary this year with how badly HTC dropped the ball. Even last year, when they had arguably the best Android phone on the planet for most of the year until the fall, very few people actually cared.

Come even if the phone might not be as good, it would be nice to give people (those that don't frequent this thread) that could be interested in the phone a place to discuss things about it.

What the fuck...Verizon S6 Edge is almost $100 cheaper than AT&T's?

I really don't know if I can convince myself to spend $800 (pre-tax!) on this phone. Samsung doesn't sell unlocked US phones, do they? I'd have to get an international version if I just want to buy unlocked?

Samsung...you may have just lost me :(

Might just wait for some to show up on Swappa and drop a bit in price.

If you check the 4G LTE logo, it seems to be the Tmo version

According to Faceless, the Note 4 was unlocked. I'd be shocked if the S6 wasn't, considering they are using their international chip set too.

That's not the G4 that's the G4 note, hence the stylus and the hugeness of it.

Would make no sense if it was the regular G4. With that said, this is LG.

It's the regular G4 - the Korean variant with Tmo software.

It's not the G4 "note" - that would be made of metal - the 'stylus' is an antenna - which you find in normal Korean versions.

Wait, what? I thought Verizon phones were all GSM compatible because LTE is on GSM? Are you saying its not?

edit: just saw a commercial on tv for the g6, its a sign!

I know Verizon operates on a CDMA network, I just thought that Verizon phones also had all the necessary GSM radios because their LTE network is GSM. Unlike say a T-mobile phone which operates exclusive on GSM and wouldn't have any CDMA radios in it.

Mainly I just want something I can use with both types in case I need to switch off Verizon.

Verizon phones typically have better 4g LTE compatibility with T-mobile than the OnePlus One which gets recommended a lot.

I use Straight Talk and you and I are in the same boat. Hopefully Amazon will have an unlocked/international version. At least HTC always sells unlocked versions of their phones.

Verizon phones are SIM unlocked, have been since they got Googled in the spectrum auction. new phones on other US carriers can be unlocked by request as of last month. terms and conditions vary by carrier.

For some reason, any international versions of phones on Amazon always say "no warranty". I'm assuming it's because it's a third party seller, but it always makes me shy away. I'd love if Amazon would actually stock it, like they do the unlocked Nexus 6. Might even be cheaper for AT&T version; I think you can get the Nexus 6 AT&T version for less than AT&T's odd $684 or whatever.

We'll see...

How big is this phone? Am i the only one hoping i/O brings a stock version of the G4?

This phone looks better than the M9, in my opinion. I owned a G3 but returned it because of the size and overheating. Why are they copying One Plus' design? that LG logo is horrible and please get rid of it.
