how does this differ from the Q10. I will be using this only in the US and am an At&t cutomer. thanks for any info or advise.

It is a much lighter phone......also you can not remove the battery. Since the phone is much lighter it does not feel as durable as a Q10. Speaking as some one who currently owns both I prefer the Q10.

There are some hardware differences such as camera, display, processor clock, build quality, etc.. You need to assess what each means to you, however for those of us who are on budget, they may not be that important. Q5 is a great option for the price and mine works well in US with T-Mobile

Rumor is the official TMO version will have the Qualcomm chip instead of the Samsung chip. Not sure if it's better. I won't get this phone just to wait on TMO to turn on 1900 Mhz if it's not already on. It might take them months, if not years. Would be bad to have this phone, and be stuck on EDGE speed.

So I had posted earlier based on the seller's data. Anyways, I just received the phone today and this is what I find: This phone is completely unlocked, 9900 model that works with AT&T (USA), Rogers, Telus and Bell (Canada). Unlike what is mentioned in the technical description, it supports the 850Mhz UMTS as well, so you get full 3G speed with AT&T. This will not give you 3G with T-Mobile as it does not support the 1700 MHz band. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Does this product have the 1700/2100 band? The seller's description does not state so. Without this band, the phone will not be able to work on T-Mobile 3G. It is a GSM phone, so no Sprint or Verizon. Also, without the 850 MHz UMTS, it will also not serve AT&T. Hence, without 1700/2100 (note only 2100 will not work and listening/transmitting frequencies are different) this phone will not get 3G speeds for ANY major US telecom operator (EDGE may be present). Can the seller please clarify?

I only use this phone when I'm out of the country, a few weeks a year & haven't had this situation. I do know there are now so many better phones on the market @ this price, I will buy another model & junk the two A187's I have. Keep in mind phone technology moves quickly. Buying refurbished means you're already on the 2nd go 'round. I've had the A187's 2-3 years so it's way behind what's now available at what I paid for it

The Q10 requires a MICRO Simcard. If you have a regular size SIM card, you need to get a new one. Some people manage to cut them off, but you need to know what you are doing..

The reception is Sprint 3G, which is to say, bad. I just came off an ATT contract and the 4G was so much better. My wife was on a 3G Blackberry, and the speeds were WAY better than Sprints 3G. Despite this though, the LG is still dated in almost every way unrelated to reception. Don't get me wrong, it's an OK, but I think it should be a lot cheaper given its age.

This particular model is the international version which has HSPA, which can be branded as 4G but is slower than 4G LTE. If you want 4G LTE you will have to get the US version from AT&T.

Well, the one in this picture has the at&t; logo on it. You should look for one that says International Version for the unbranded one. That way you will receive all available updates for the phone and not just the ones at&t; decides you should get.

Patricia,This is a phone that is originally for use with AT&T.; It has been carrier unlocked by AT&T; customer service and can now be used with any GSM based carrier in the U.S (T-Mobile, Straight Talk, Net 10, etc.) including AT&T.; It is in good shape and comes in original box with all the goodies included, i.e. home/car charger, manual, etc.Please let us know if you have any other questions.Thanks,Just Wireless inc.

Coming from someone who makes ROMs for these phones in his free time, there is quite literally no difference between the various versions of the HTC One. Most phones with international versions have specific antennae to cover as many countries as possible, but since the HTC One already has these by default it makes the various versions nothing more than a marketing ploy. AT&T, TMobile, Developer, and International versions are all the same in this case except for the logo printed on the back of the case. EDIT: No, it's not dual-sim

My understanding is that Qualcomm (the maker) only intends for it to be sold in the U.S. right now. I've seen comments from them a couple of times on Twitter about assessing expanding the range to additional countries. You can obviously theoretically get someone else to sell it to you out of the country (I have no idea if it's possible to get the Toq app from another country's version of the Google Play store or if you'd have to use some kind of workaround, though. I'm guessing you should check on that.) Still, even if you got it out of the country, I'd be worried about what kind of support you could access if something went wrong with it, given that the manufacturer who'd be dealing with a warranty claim would know that they weren't selling it outside the U.S. at the time. The safest thing for now is probably to write to them and make sure they know that you'd like to be able to buy it somewhere else.

There are a few variants of this phone so check the model closely. That said, mine came fully unlocked and quad band. It was used in the UK and Brussels without issue and on several carriers through the Caribbean.

Could not use this phone with version towers in US. AT&T; was the only opion. Phone unlocked is not registered with version. Living in a rural community at&t; had no reception

Same phone, different model. There were different releases for the US and international market that could receive different LTE bands. See the wikipedia article for more.

Yes it is has the same capabilities and all the same features. I have had mine for about a year now and it is doing great I am on Straight Talk but it is hooked to AT&T; through sim card. The only thing I have had a problem with is hooking it to my car system I finally got it to pair but it still won't connect. Have to find someone smarter than I. Hahaha

Yes..! Q10 will work with any network if it is not locked to any network on purchase. I have used it with simple mobile, T-Mobile, page plus.

@T.PatrickYou are right. I was wrong about the US version. The v40 firmware was introduced in January for many international versions but not for the US versions. Bottom line right now is (as I mentioned before) its a matter of personal preference if you like the black with a silver stripe on the sides or chrome trim around the screen. They are both good phones.
