Hmm, since the website is pretty much hosed, I can't see what it says, but...
Even if it ships worldwide, as somebody mentioned, how can one tell whether it actually works with <random carrier in country X>?
There's no doubt a lot of coarse-grained commonality between different carriers in different countries, but there also seem to be many differences when you get down to the details, and a lot of incentive to add gratuitous minor incompatibilities for the purpose of locking in your customers... I'd be pretty nervous about importing a random phone.
- ckannan90 14y agoI'm not familiar with the situation in Europe/USA, but I've never had trouble using a GSM phone with any GSM SIM card from any carrier in Asia. I'm not sure about the situation for CDMA or LTE.
- le 14y agoIf you're in the US, this phone will only get 3G/HSPA service on T-Mobile, and it's MVNOs.
- lucian1900 14y agoIt's the same in Europe, unlocked (GMS) phones work everywhere.
- thristian 14y agoI believe the main thing with GSM phones is what frequency it expects to transmit and receive GSM data on. This varies from country to country depending on what frequencies the various telcos could purchase at the time, but these phones support "GSM 850/900/1800/1900" and "UMTS 2100/1900/900" which I believe cover the majority of countries.
