OK, so they announced the Galaxy S4 for TMobile and AT&T, therefore US only, boo!
Chances of an international version, i.e. everyone who isn't in the USA?

What would be the difference between a US/Canada version and an international version? Is there something about the internal hardware that is different? I thought the Nexus 4 sold in the US could be used overseas with a local sim. If that is correct, wouldn't the S4 GE be the same? Or were you talking about they are only selling it in the US and you won't be able to buy it overseas? Thanks.
On another note, what is to stop me buying a normal SG4 and using the Google firmware from the Google Edition SG4?
Is that how it is with the Nexus 4, minus the LTE?To answer the op, the Google version is an international version - meaning it will work with any international gsm carrier, and any LTE carrier as well.

According to Wikipedia (OK not the most accurate in the world, but it should do for this):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S4
The S4's sold in the USA are the SGH-I337 (AT&T) and the SGH-M919 (T-Mobile). Both only support LTE band 17, which only really works in the USA. They both support HSPA+ bands which work in the rest of the world though. Therefore if I was to buy the Google Edition SG4 from the USA, it would work abroad in Europe and Asia, but only up to HSPA+ and not with LTE.
