Hi I wouldn't trust it. The website looks kind of shady. Best to buy from a known website. I bought mine from New Egg. Do a search for 1520.3. They have the wrong description for the phone, but it definitely is the one to get if you want to use it on T-Mobile and have the AWS bands. Price is 620. Cheaper than what negri electronics was selling it for. Good luck.

On another note, I was able to get tethering working on the 1520.3 RM-938 model. I used the Spanish keyboard trick to get it to work. So far Im very pleased with the phone.

So the one on Newegg will work with ATT LTE what is the actual internal storage capacity?

I have an SD Card so it doesn't matter as much but it's great having more

Does the 1520.3 on NewEgg have Qi Wireless charging? Also has anyone confirmed that it works on the AT&T network with HSPA+/LTE? I may grab it and sell my 937.

it has Qi, if the pictures are accurate it doesn't have the three metal dots of the att version

I ordered one not too long after my post and will confirm 32 GB and bands, it may be a while before I go to the next town to confirm Att LTE.

It definitely has AT&T LTE as AT&T and Tmobile use the same band 4. The phone has pentaband LTE and GSM radios. It also does have Qi charging and is 32Gb internal space. It is a bit tricky to get tethering to work if you are on Tmobile. Not sure about At&t as I do not have an active sim to try.

I have this phone on AT&T, I bought through Newegg because I wasn't going to buy the gimped version AT&T is selling without the Qi wireless charging. I get LTE but it seemingly drops to HSDPA when a phone call comes in or I dial out. Also, I cannot get the tethering to work. What is the hack to get that going for AT&T and why does it not just work?

That is how it works, voice doesn't work over LTE, so no matter what phone you're on it will "drop" to HSPA+. No worries there.

As far as tethering, I'm not sure, but bring it by an AT&T store and they should be able to set you up.

I mean is there any problem that you found out about this kind of phones (Unlocked phones from Neweggs or Negri Electronics) like any bugs, any false updates or other problems?
