Hi All,
my upgrade is due at the end of this month, 28th October. im from the UK, Will HD3/7 be released by Tmobile end of this month or will i need to move to another phone provider?
wp7 launched in UK on 21st october if that's any help..
You're in luck, then! Windows Phone 7 appears to be coming to T-Mobile USA sometime in November, and it looks like the HD7 might be their premiere device:

Unless you're talking about T-Mobile UK, though. I'm not sure when they're getting WP7, but presumably soon.
The Device-Launch in Uk (Europe) ist the 21st october
When is AT&T going to make an official announcement of what devices will be available, when and for how much? We all know that November 8th is the day and they are supposed to be $199. But is the $199 after rebate? Without Rebate? Also, Engadget said in their Focus review it would be the only device available November 8th. So will there be no Surround on launch day?
It's less than 2 weeks away and AT&T has yet to put down any firm dates, prices, etc. Their website still says "Coming Soon". I called my local AT&T store and they told me November 8th, but said to call back as it could easily change.
Heck, at least T-Mobiles website lists a date, price (including $50 rebate) and device.

By could easily change, it'll probably come in a few days early like the Captivate did - they might get release to sell it early. Unless they're getting same day shipments in the morning, odds are the phones will come in Thurs-Sat.
The Surround is available at Best Buy exclusively, but there's no date on how long it lasts.
I check the offiical LG V30 "Buy Now" page for updates on either Amazon listings or unlocked V30+ listings.
No luck yet with Amazon, but I do see that B&H has a listing for the V30+.
$929.99 with a "coming soon" note. No release date provided.

Apologies if this was posted elsewhere. I did a quick scan of the board.
It was but it was a bit buried in a thread, I can't find it again to credit that user. Thanks for putting this up more prominently though, it's helpful.

Mentioned and briefly discussed here, but not a standalone thread,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=74756966
So, thank you. I plan to other this as my 2nd LG device purchase for the $400 gift card.
Ahh, I'm sorry. Seemed thread-worthy. I scanned for a thread, but didn't search for in-thread mentions of the listing.
Still holding out for an unlocked V30+ preorder on Amazon.
But if we start getting close to whatever B&H's ship date winds up being without an Amazon listing going up, I may cave.
My poor 2015 Moto X is not long for this world, I'm afraid.

B&H Photo $820 price on the 64 GB LG V30 variant was cheaper for me than "$800" Best Buy LG V30 -- (really about $848 here in GA), once you factor in no local taxes and free shipping. That's even before any price matching.
Amazon also charges local tax.
So, probably going to buy from B&H Photo again, for the V30+. Plus they price match.
I still need to call them or email, to get the $20 knocked off.
I'm actually in the NY/NJ area, so B&H will ding me on taxes no matter what.
BB has the open market version? It's not US Cellular's?

No, it's not. It's the "open market" version which will get bootloader unlock.
LG did the same thing for the LG G6 US997:
U.S.Cellular sold the "carrier" version and B&H Photo, Best Buy, Amazon and other authorized retailers sold "open market" version of the US997, which got bootloader unlock.
Now this is the open market version of the V30+ -- which is available for pre-order. Whereas, U.S. Cellular has been selling their version since October 6.
Right. I want the open market V30+, preferably through Amazon or BB.
For some reason, I thought the BB V30 (not plus) was the US Cellular version.
Good to know it wasn't. Thanks!

Me too, and the sales tax thing is a moot point in Oregon luckily. Hopefully Amazon gets it soon, though the 110 dollars markup just for extra space seems slightly exorbitant. Amazon pricing could be a little lower but who knows. Will have to squeeze some more life out of this Nexus 5!

B&H Photo will price match. And they actually lowered the V30 initial price by $20 between preorder and actual ship date.
I wouldn't be surprised if V30+ ship price turns out to be $899 or something...
And if Amazon or Best Buy has lower price, they'll match that.

Just pre-ordered the "open market" LG V30+ from B&H Photo.
Also replied to the first order's email for the V30 and asked them for retroactive price match $20 refund, since Best Buy is selling it for $799 (plus tax).

That would be brilliant, hope that is the final price.
Getting closer... Finally the B&H Photo web page for V30+ is updated with specs. As expected includes "QuadPlay Headphones". Still no shipping date...
I guess the surprising price difference is mitigated somewhat by the inclusion of the updated headphones.
I wish there was a ship date. Day by day, my 2015 Moto X Play is degrading more and more. I may just have to buy the regular V30.

I haven't seen anyone review the Quadplay non-B&O earbuds. I should take a look around. I do think the price will come down. I think the Sprint V30+ was working out to $750 from Best Buy if you made the payments at one point during November. Sigh, I miss the Nexus days of getting great specs at a great price. I'm like ChazzMatt where without wireless charging I'm not buying, so the OnePlus and Pixel announcements were quite disappointing. I will say that updating my Nexus 5 to Paranoid Android's Nougat ROM has given it a new lease on life. It's still slow but I think I can afford to wait a little longer (even if I don't want to!).
Does the LG V30+ not have wireless charging? I thought it did?
Anyone want to take any bets on V30+ release date and when the US998 will be placed on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list?
1) European H931 released first week of November.
Placed on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list three weeks later.
2) North America "open market" 64GB US998 V30 released first week of December.
Not yet on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list, but it's not been three weeks yet...
3) North America "open market" 128GB US998 V30+ will be released when? First week in January? LG seems to want to S-T-R-E-T-C-H this whole process out.
When will both North America "open market" variants be placed on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list? By Christmas week or 3 weeks AFTER the V30+ is released? (Remember, took SIX WEEKS for LG to add the G6 US997 to the bootloader unlock list...)
Any predictions?

Sorry if I was unclear, but I was complaining that the OnePlus 5T and both Pixel 2s did not have wireless charging, which the V30 and V30+ do have. I don't often thank Apple for anything, but the inclusion of wireless charging in the new iPhones will make it ubiquitous. Google should never have abandoned it on the Nexus devices.

I'm betting you're right! But yes, this has been one long, drawn out process. People are still so used to buying their phones from carriers in the US so unfortunately us open market purchasers will always get the shaft for the foreseeable future. Although most people don't need nor care for open market unlocked phones that don't come with payment plans, so why not put it up for sale? It's obviously being manufactured and available. LG is simply throwing money away because a lot of people (people that don't care about wireless charging for example) have moved on to the Pixel, OnePlus 5T, etc. Who knows, maybe they are making enough from carrier sales, they don't care. Just frustrating to wait.

I know they lost money on me. I wanted TWO LG V30+ (for wife and myself), but was forced to buy at least one V30 before the December 2 deadline for the $400 gift card. I'll still buy a V30+ for the "second" purchase -- but yeah frustrating I couldn't buy two V30+ and get $400 off. But not released yet!
And yeah, I hate people are "settling" for inferior phones just because LG doesn't know how to release a new phone properly! They ANNOUNCED both LG V30 and V30+ end of August. It should have been EVERYWHERE by end of October. We're almost 4 months after the global announcement and they still have not released all the phones to major countries.

So what do you think so far of the phone? Apologies if you've already reviewed your experience elsewhere or were planning to, I can wait if that's the case.

Short version, love it. Using very slim Tudia case. I set it up last Sunday, been using it all this week. Very fast, very smooth.
Battery life is very good.
I keep my display at 70%. Lower than that, and the colors don't seem to pop. I tried it lower, like 60% and I could use it, but I like the overall look at 70%.
Small thing, but the fingerprint sensor is amazing. I barely touch it and it unlocks. Sometimes I accidentally unlock it and lock it back in a split second because it's so sensitive.
There's one email app I use that's annoying because it stays immersed when in the email list and doesn't show the navigation icons at the bottom. I have to force them up. But that's the app, not the phone.
Can't wait for bootloader unlock and root.

Why Amazon/EBay cost more than B & H to purchase unlocked LG G7. LG G710ULM vs G710EM
It's been almost 2 months waiting for G710ULM unlocked to be available at USA, at least yesterday B&H now sells Platinum Grey beauty. Eagerly waiting for unlocked bootloader so I decided US unlocked instead of European variant which is expensive etc 999$ - 1200$ (bull****), doesn't EBay/Amazon deliver to UAE/India as said by the website?. So a pre order 750$ from B&H has an acceptable pricing. Hate that UAE gets the dual SIM variant which cannot be rooted/bootloader etc. Is B&H respectable for ordering to UAE? So it's 750$+25$ (shipping) worth for around 5-7 days to deliver to your doorstep (UAE)? I'm not ordering now because I'm active on XDA/Reddit to check if the early batches have bottom light bleed? How's your LG G7 doing for you all specially the unlocked variants? I am still rocking an LG G4, always getting impatient when will be my next LG flagship, as I just skipped getting the LG V30 because LG G7 has more hype, making me feel excited. This is just the perfect 2018 flagship before the LG V40. LG for life..
Bhphoto has stock but gray only
I also want to buy this version very much，but LG didn't add this device to the unlocked bootloader list.I am worried that this version does not support unlock bootloader.
I have an unlocked black G7 ThinQ I just received from B&H yesterday. I paid $630 shipped. No light bleed at all.
I'm moving on from the Galaxy S9+. So far the G7 ThinQ is just as smooth, a lot lighter, and has equal battery life. My S9+ would occasionally bog down, requiring me to clean out the cache, memory, and give it a restart after only two months of use.

Maybe they're getting the excess 128 GB units from Canada and the US that no one wants as we wait for the 256 GB version to arrive.

no Canadian models have mmwave either but the past 2 weeks in CA, all 128gb models are in stock with 2 day shipping. Who knows what the real story is but more availability is always better. we knew prior, that 5 months after release, there would be tons of stock. always happens with the pixels. months 1-3 wait is a few weeks. 4-8 is fine with plenty of stock. After 8 months good luck trying to get one without some work. hopefully it changes this year but I guess they don't sell enough handsets to keep stock if 12 month old devices like Samsung or Apple

Which great but the US ones do so my point remains.
In the UK you can buy a 256GB model just by walking in to a shop (which is what the original post i quoted mentioned) where as a a month or so you had no chance whatsoever on any Pixel 6 variant, so supply has improved or demand has dropped depending on your point of view. To be fair up to about a month ago you could still buy a new Pixel 4a so that was available for around 16 months in the UK and was only discontinued on the last day of January this year. Why Google pulled the Pixel 4A 5g and Pixel 5 after a few short months is anyone's guess.
