Not too much longer at least for those on AT&T.

Any guesses on when the U.S. unlocked version might be available?

The BLA-L29 works on US LTE bands. You can get it on Amazon

Not too keen on not having a warranty.

Yeah agreed on this. I almost pulled the trigger but going to wait for either the ATT version or US unlocked version.

I believe the us version is only going to be 4gb not 6gb with 64gb of storage

You can always get the international unlocked version which has no att apps. Buy usually they have no warranty as well.

I would guess a few months after att launch.

$850 and no warranty is a hard pill to swallow.

Man, I really wanted the Mate 10 Pro, but I've already been holding out for a half year and can't wait that much longer. It sucks that the international unlocked version has no warranty. I guess I'm going to have to pick up the OnePlus 5T :-\.

If the mate 10 pro is what you really want, think carefully before something else because you might regret the op5 and later want the mate 10 pro anyway.

The 1+5T was my second choice, but I'm not really into the mediocre cameras. The M10 Pro is exactly what I want, even beyond cameras. I'm torn between going with the former or taking a chance on no warranty with the latter. Either way, I have to make up my mind soon. I've been holding out for far too long.

I recall reading somewhere that after you pay off whatever phone the carrier has to unlock it if you make the request. Does anyone know if you could hypothetically go into an agreement with, say AT&T, for the Mate 10 Pro, then just pay it all upfront and have them unlock it?

 

[DamianP]

I wonder if they will add band 30 to this version for ATT. everything I've read so far the international version does not.

It wasn't an issue with the mate 9, in fact the mate 9 was one of the best radios I've ever seen. I was able to get signal in places no other phone (s8+, pixel XL, LGV20) would.

Att will unlock it once you meet all their unlock criteria

I hope that they do too. Especially considering plenty of other att phones support it

Thanks for all the info. I think I'll wait until it comes out on AT&T then pay it off ASAP. Have a good new year!

I would definitely wait for the att unlock as well, provided that I could meet the criteria.
