BTW, here's a link to T-Mob frequency info >>>>>> About T-Mobile coverage | T-Mobile Support
Here's a quick rundown of M8 specs copied from the Dev Ed device page:
Networks: LTE Quad Band (Bands 17/4/2/5); LTE MIMO; GSM/EDGE: Quad-band (850/900/1800/1900 Hz), Class 12; UMTS: Tri-band (UMTS 850/1900/2100MHz), HSPA+Category 14xx (HSDPA 21Mbps/ EDCH 5.7 Mbps);

I have a tracking number for my Unlocked M8, just hasn't registered with UPS yet. Should have it tomorrow as well!

Well, it doesn't work completely with T-mobile. It will show H or LTE not H+. So, it's going back and I'll just order one from T-mobile when it comes out next week.

This is what I expected. Thank you. I'll be getting mine from the store next week.

H+ is a ROM addition. My HSPA+ 42 works perfectly fine in Vegas. I have the developer edition and everything is working like it should.

What is it showing in the status bar and how do you know it's HSPA+? Are you on T-mobile? When I go to the gym, I only get 4G on my LG G2. When I took the unlocked M8 it only got E (edge). This phone does not have one of the bands needed (1700 I believe).

EDIT
If I'm understanding this correctly, in a refarmed area, you need 1900 band. If it's not refarmed, then you need 1700 and 2100 at the same time. Not just one or the other. Problem with the M8 is it does not have 1700. That's why I only get Edge at the gym. I must be in an older area.

Hi! I just wanted to ask is the dev edition worth spending money over international one?

So how did it work out? I'm about to get an M8. Dev. Edition for my birthday and would LOVE to give it a T-Mo SIM, but thought it wouldn't be compatible with Big Magenta's data?
