on 1520.3, could I add a Chinese keyboard? Thanks for checking for me!

Looks like it

I can now confirm that it works with AT&T LTE. I used my AIO sim card, which of course is limited to 8MBPS, but it works. Not tethering of course, as that is AIO policy

Ordered one, thanks!

Has anyone put a straight up ATT sim card into one of these yet? If anyone has, please let me know if it works without issues(tethering and MMS) so I can buy one!

You think straight ATT sim will allow Tethering?

Getting mine tomorrow.

There is no work-around on T-Mobile tethering even if you have this plan in your account?

I have found no workaround

For starters, this version of the phone does not allow editing of the full APN settings. It has Access Point installed, but Access Point somehow detects slightly wrong settings for T-Mobile and tethering does not work. There is a Lumia 920 workaround, but it only works on the AT&T version since it requires changing the APN settings in the "Cellular" menu which this phone doesn't have.

I have yet to decide if this is going to work for me or not. This one was so, so, so close to being perfect! Why in the heck does it have to be so difficult!

Can you view the current apn settings? Can you create/add new apn settings that includes the right configuration (ie.fast.t-mobile.com, mms) ?

You can do that to an extent in the app called "Access Point" which you are probably familiar with. In the Cellular menu, no, there are no APN settings.

You can create new APNs in Access Point, but even with putting all the T-Mobile proper credentials, tethering did not work for me

Not without it being on your plan, it pings the server for whatever authentication it needs
