I'm am using Postbox-courier.
 
I don't suppose anyone here knows if the US version will work with 4G in Australia?

Hey Roldstar.

How did you get it right to place the order?
I tried logging in with a VPN and I'm able to go as far as clicking buy. But the second I log in with my standard gmail address, it boots me out.

I want to get it delivered to my dad in the US, I will be there from January for 6 months.

I hope when I'm there, I don't get booted out of the US Play store :/

Thanks

Regards

Itai

must say i had a problem free experience doing the purchase..didn't have to use a VPN cos devices on google play was enabled on my gmail account for some reason..n also didn't have any problems with my card even though the billing address didn't match the one on record with the bank..guess i just got very lucky :)

It does, but only for certain networks. I believe that only the Telkom Mobile LTE band doesn't operate on it.

Sadly it will not work with MTN and Vodacom, they both use the 1800mhz band 3 setup. The international version should work though.

Both versions should work on CellC (band 1), and neither should work on Telkom (band 40)
 
Camera is presumed to load up a whole second faster...improved shutter lag , frame rate and the sample pictures look good I must say...
 
Yup. Waiting for OTA now... Will post as soon as I get it (here's hoping it will be soon)
 
I'm getting my dad to order me one :) ... But apparently he also needs to pay Sales Tax :( ... did you guys have to pay Sales Tax too?
 
America always displays it without sales tax...some states are exempt from it but all postbox collectors are in states with sales tax...don't think its that much either
 
Just checked ... it's 8% in San Diego (where my dad is). It's ridiculous, it's not even per state ... it's per county! What a mission to keep track of.

And worst part, it's not even refundable if you leave the US :(
 
Bro its USD30 only on the 399 model... Its nothing if you take what you getting and you will be saving on the use of a private company to ship it
