LOL.....I need to see how the UI is first and the way it functions before i make any decisions.

4. DKMDROID posted on 16 Aug 2012, 06:33 21

Its android ....if you dont like the UI ....change it

If the phone isn't popular the theming community and whatnot for the phone won't be as large, making it more difficult to do yourself.

i doubt anyone would care for the UI considering the specs

11. XPERIA-KNIGHT posted on 16 Aug 2012, 06:49 7

take a look at the meizu mx 4 core phone....has really good specs that of the GS3......But terrible UI and OS.......something called Flyme OS or somthing like that.....The UI almost looks like a bad mixture of android and IOS put together! :(

MIUI is really a popular UI and theming isn't a problem at all since it been ported to HTC,samsung,Sony and LG there is alot of theming for home screen and lock screen as well

don't worry MIUI is amazing. better than stock android, better than sense better than touchwiz/moto, better than cyanogen mod(HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?)

I use it on my phone, its amazing
themes are really awesome too and software is pretty light and zippy

If overseas shipping wasn't so ridiculous, I would too.

I'm not 100% sure of wha I'm saying, but as far as I'm aware:
T-Mobile uses LTE while this phone only supports:
DC-HSPA+ (42.2) / GPRS / EDGE
So no, not compatible.
The good news is that as it uses APQ8064 (no cell modem), so it should be easy to put an LTE chip for cell modem if they want to.
The bad news: they'll probably won't do it unless they start selling in the US.

39. Berzerk000 posted on 16 Aug 2012, 11:17 2

T-Mobile doesn't use LTE, they use HSPA+

40. remixfa posted on 16 Aug 2012, 11:31 4

correct. Tmobile uses the 1700 band for 4g HSPA+, which is why its "left out".

However, Tmobile is refarming all of their 1900 edge to HSPA+, so its not really left out. Some markets have made the transition already and some havent.. but supposedly its all gonna be done by christmas.

That said....., hubba hubba to the specs sheet AND pricing. :)

I dont think it will come to the US officially.. ever.

MIUI is a Chinese rip off of iOS look... like severely. Anyone that thinks samsung copied iOS's "look" has never seen MIUI. I think it still has the apple logo in it somewhere.. lol

Apple would take them to task like crazy.

If they leave the bootloader open, I can see this being a very popular imported modders phone though.

42. TylerGrunter posted on 16 Aug 2012, 12:16 0

If the frequencies of the HSPA+ in the phone are compatible with the ones in the USA you´ll be probably right.
Add Meizu MX to the iPhone rip offs ("Meizu's goal was clearly to emulate the iPhone experience and we should say they did a pretty good job of it", quote from gsmarena)
And thanks for the correction about the T-Mobile networks.

47. MeoCao (unregistered) posted on 16 Aug 2012, 13:31 0

The software can be tweaked easily, how about stock JB?

54. OptimusOne posted on 16 Aug 2012, 20:48 2

yeah i know miui is ios rip off but it makes it better.. but if apple put miui on their iphones, then... THAT WOULD BE SO AWESOME AND I WOULD SWITCH BACK TO IPHONE

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
