Which carrier are you going to use this with?
If it's AT&T, I'll be interested to know if you get LTE, and if you can use it for Internet sharing. Those of the problems people reported with the 937. Something about LTE being on band 4.
What has been reported is "The 938/940 don't do LTE on 1700 and LTE on 2100; they do LTE on band 4, which uses one frequency range for uploading and the other for downloading"
Can you tell what the one your buying will do?
It will sure be amazing, if this is the unicorn 938 that will work on AT&T LTE. Can't wait to hear your results. Let me know by p.m. or smoke signal, because I will be buying one, the next minute. I too have invested in 4 Qi Chargers, and I'm still living with my 920. At this point can only hope!
Most def will keep you (and the this thread) updated with results/experiences. Yes, at this point, I can only also hope. Worse comes to worse, I return the device or live with 3G/4G.
I like your reference to it as a "Unicorn 1520". No doubt!
Major bummer, unfortunately the eBay seller (they're named "buybuybox" and I was communicating with Kitty) informed me that her supplier has RM-938's, but basically they're in such short supply and high demand that she was not able to obtain one for me.
So the lesson here is that RM-938's are out there, the do exist, but they're extremely rare, hence @jssmarathon's 'Unicorn' moniker.
Anyways, the eBay seller buybuybox was straight up, honest and refunded the money back to my PayPal account promptly.

I purchased from BuyBuyBox before - they were okay, though slow on the shipping.
Anyway, Negri has this "unicorn" 1520 in stock as well, though it's $75 more but comes in 32gb. I just ordered one, as did a few other people and we are awaiting the phone.

I will report back as well. The reps confirmed on several occasions that this is the RM-938 model and I intend to use it on T-Mobile. If it comes in time, however, I have an Aio Wireless SIM card with a month of service on it, so I'll test out AT&T LTE for you guys as well. Happy to help/confirm.

Thanks Collin. I tweeted them to see on when their 1520.3's would be shipped to customers...
Cool, please let us know what they say. I tried to upgrade my shipping this morning (impatience keeps getting the best of me) and they said it was too late and my order would be shipping within 24-48 hours. Bummer, but I guess that's good! I should have it in five business days which equates to what in FedEx terms? Eternity.

Hey Collin -
Negri tweeted back "We do have them and the order will ship within 24 hours of being processed." So, I went ahead and placed and order.
Its a good sign that they could not upgrade your order though, I would imagine that means they actually do have the devices available to ship!
Where do you see this tweet? I just called them and they have told me that it would be shipped in two weeks ...Hey Collin -

Where does it say that this Negri's has Qi Charging built in?
I am going blind trying to find it.
THX!
I have emailed them and just cant get a full answer

Hello,
Thank you for your email. Unfortunately we are unable to send you a picture of the box. We have however confirmed that these devices do support ATT LTE and wireless charging. Feel free to contact us if you have any further questions or concerns. Have a great day.
Then I asked:
Ted,
Thank you for your response, however, this does not clearly state that it has built in “Qi” charging.
Can you confirm that it has ”Qi” charging built in, and NOT “PMA” charging.
