Nope. There is a butterfly which is this one. J butterfly is the Japanese. I think butterfly its made for the Hong Kong market.

Yep, in China it retails for 4,799RMB (which is about $770 USD). In the US we can get good deals on phones because the carriers subsidize them. In China and other parts of the world no subsidies exist (at least not in the same fashion they do in the US).

Good to hear, tough to get anything shipped to China reliably.
In Taiwan we have butterfly, x920d at about 16000 to 23000 NTD, or 552 to 794 US dollars.

I'll be joining you guys today. I just ordered a Butterfly, I presume its a grey import (I'm living in the UAE). I'm a bit worried about battery life as I travel allot on business... How have you found the battery life?
Am I right to think that the Butterfly doesn't have the wireless charging of the DNA?
Actually, no too bad. I've heard someone saying it's possible to watch full hd movies for more than 4 hours.

Just a quick query... I have the phone set up now and its all good so far. However, is there supposed to be an NFC app on the phone? I guess not as it is possibly something that is controlled by the tags...
I ask, because there is nothing on the box saying NFC and there is nothing to indicate its on the phone. I suppose I'll just have to get some tags to test it.

On the x920e there is a NFC app but it seems to be some type of chinese crapware that I just haven't frozen yet. In settings, go to More - there should be a NFC option. If I tick the box next to it the letter "N" appear in the status bar next to the wifi icon.

Sorry if this has been answer. Anyone have any idea how much the full retail price? I know contract is 249..
And how does lte work? If I have unlimited data right now. Would I have to pay extra to get lte?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
That 249 price point is pure speculation right now no one really knows. Let's say it were true which it might not be, Id take a stab at the phone being either 599 or 699 (also guesstimates). Until Verizon decides it's time to come clean it's all speculation.
Yep. Im wondering this as well. I will be selling my droid x and buying it full price

(The BBXXXXX) sku number is not a Verizon model number but a Best Buy item number.)
Again take any rumors for what they're worth... not much. But one thing is pretty obvious it'll be out before March 1st so whatever happens it won't be long now.

That would be absolutely amazing if that's not just a placeholder. Man I hope my tax return is back by then.
As someone who works for Best Buy (and the in the phone department ) guys, that "instock" date means nothing. We get stuff all the time before launch and that system just shows when the store is receiving the merchandise. Also the model number would be of the product, I've never seen a model number like that before, so I doubt it is the phone....

Kind of a bad idea imo. You're missing out o. Alot of months of fun with the thunderbolt. When the desire 2 finally makes it to carriers it will be about holiday2011. If that happens and it does end up on verizon, I will just sell the thunderbolt on ebay and buy full retail. I don't see anything wrong with this plan.

So I have this phone now and have been using it for about a week. Not really sure what edition it is. I can't find anything on Google about it or any pictures anywhere that seem to match up. It is an AT&T model I know that. I have already rooted it and am running CleanROM on it, but it started as a normal AT&T One X.
The is dark blue with stars all over it and says USA 2012 with the beats audio logo. There is no carrier branding on the outside of the phone. Where it normally says AT&T on the front is HTC. I attached some pics.

Amazing design on that one x. I can't find that specific design so it has to be a promotional. Where did you get/buy from?
I figured it is special Olympic model. I just didn't know if anyone had heard anything about it. One of my clients is an Olympic athlete. He sent this to me to use as a development phone. He has tons of other ones apparently (android phones) and this was just hanging out unused.
The stars on it are actually printed on the shell. You can feel them raised a bit when you rub your fingers over them.

Simply put: if you enjoyed the firmware on the GS3, your experience with its successor will be just as rapturous, if not more so. If you're hoping to run custom ROMs in place of TouchWiz, you may have to wait for a little while since Samsung has confirmed to us that the bootloader is locked.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That is what they say on the GS4 review. I have talked to another reviewer and he can confirm that there is a "Write Protection: Enabled" entry on his Sprint review unit.
Sprint has never locked bootloaders, and it is company policy that they do not deny warranty for root/custom ROM reasons. Can anyone confirm that this entry is disabled/bootloader is not locked on international/unlocked models?
Edit: NEW INFO! Write Protection is universal to all i9505. It does not determine bootloader lock status. So far it appears that it only is write protection on bootloader (probably to prevent bricking). Only confirmed models with bootloader lock are the Verizon and AT&T GS4.
This isn't good. I can't believe that Sammy is gonna start pulling this crap. Looks like custom roms and kernels will be a while. I'm curious about international version as well.

Samsung is really trying hard to get us to hate them. Seriously, I don't mind that you can't employ some decent designer to get your **** sorted out as far as touchwiz is concerned, now you lock the bootloader too? Seriously Samsung?
Could someone with international S4 confirm if theirs have write protection enabled too?
I'm going to cancel mine Monday morning if this proves out. Locked bootloader = no sale. Does seem odd that both sprint and AT&T owners are now saying that they have root and have accessed the bootloader...

AT&T and Verizon are definitely, 100% guaranteed to be locked. I remember from the VZW GS3 days that root was very easy, the problem was custom kernels for sure, and possibly custom ROMs. My memory is a bit fuzzy because I never had to read too deeply about the issue, none of my friends ever got a VZW GS3.
There are already several AT&T folks who are saying they have successfully rooted their phone. If this is correct it seems almost a slam dunk that the international unlocked versions will not be a problem. Guess its something we just have to see going forward as they get into peoples hands.

Uh oh. Has anyone contacted Adam Outler? He was the one that managed to crack the bootloader on the VZW GS3 last time this happened.

I have the international i9500 version and there is no write protection enabled on the download screen. Guess the international one is not locked.
