Unlocked T-Mobile 925 in Black?

[metalchick719]

Browsing Negri Electronics and stumbled across this... Very interesting.

Nokia Lumia 925 (T-Mobile) (Unlocked) (Black)

Are you getting it?

Interesting.. I saw one in ebay too..

I think metalchick is testing her limits of being able to hold off temptation.. But knowing her from the forums, how she went from 810 to 920. I think she is going to succumb very soon.)

I actually like the white version the best, but I can't help but think if I got this black one, I'd probably be one of the very few to have it with T-Mobile. :wink:

I'm definitely trying to fight off temptation! I may actually look into selling my 920 to grab this beauty.

I have the white (and just switched to light theme, orange grid, to mock up an Aperture Science phone look) but if all the colors had been available, I'd have gone with the black. Black with dark metal is cool.

Weird. I too like the white, but the black is tempting me. I signed up for JUMP, so if they have a black version in six months I might just trade up.

curious... why did they put "for international use only" in RED letters at the top if they are putting T-Mobile in the title of the product?
Any ideas?
Saw the 925 for the first time in person last night - now thats a beautiful phone! Of course it was chained to the stand with a lanyard so couldnt exactly tell how thin it was, but my wife was impressed with how thin it was and the screen especially....

International use only - this is the European version of the 925. T-Mobil Germany has it. I actually had it in my hand just yesterday (traveling in Germany right now). Won't work on LTE with T-mob USA due to different LTE bands.
Sorry to disappoint.

I'm worried about the "black" chipping off. Any reports of this happening?

I noticed that too and was confused... Could that mean it's the UK version of a T-Mobile phone? Hmm... But they don't specify that it wouldn't work on T-Mo US...

The thing that's throwing me is the 1700 band mentioned in the specs.

Guys, I said it before and I say it again. European Version. All 925 have the same GSM bands, only the LTE bands vary.

Yeah, I tried to edit my last post mentioning that you'd already answered my question. For some reason, my edit didn't save. :-/

The only difference is between the 3G bands in RM-892 and RM-893. The 893 includes the 1700 band for T-Mobile US.

T-mob US LTE: 2,4,5 and 7(or 17 not sure)
T-mob Europe and other carriers LTE: 1,3,7,8 and 20.
