Looking for new Lumia 925 on T-Mobile

[go1020]

My friend is looking to buy a new Lumia 925 to use on T-Mobile. He sent me this link because it's the cheapest seller, but I'm not sure if this version is fully supported on T-Mobile: Nokia Lumia 925 (GSM Unlocked) - White 32 GB [A00011575] - $281.19 : Unlocked Cell Phones, GSM, CDMA, No-Contracts! | Cell2Get

All I know is that US version is RM 893. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Can you tell if the website above is selling the US version?

Any other comments or suggestions in purchasing this device are welcome. TIA!

Sounds like the Vodafone version if 32mb, which won't allow Lte, only way to know is to verify the bands etc.

Thank you!

Question: Will the ATT version work flawlessly with T-Mobile?

Only in refarmed areas. If I were your friend I would go for the 920 Rogers edition

He's from San Diego. http://airportal.de/ is not working. I actually recommended him to buy from: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt="Lumia+925"&N=0&InitialSearch=yes&sts=ma&Top_Nav-Search=

because the website says it supports:
T-Mobile 2G... 3G/HSPA+(1700/1900)... LTE(2/4)

The RM 893 from BH Photo Video will work perfectly with T-Mobile. It supports all the correct bands. Note that Wifi calling and tethering will not work on the phone unless you flash the T-Mobile ROM to the phone.

Thanks! I don't think he'd like to flash the ROM. Are these features generally not available on T-Mobile Windows phone or is 925 special?

BTW, is flashing a piece of cake? Just curious.

I would not call it hard, but it can be a pain hunting down the correct ROM and Nokia software to do the flash with. In addition the ATT 925 is not flashable.

Yeah, it's easy. The only thing that takes time is downloading the ROM and waiting for the phone to hard reset. I did post in another thread links to the software and instructions. I wouldn't wait for T-Mobile to push the software and since Cricket is giving you a hundred bucks to port your line to them from T-Mobile, there is even more incentive to dump Magenta.
