+1 Be patient and wait for the proper Global version. Also, wait for the Snapdragon Hardware version if you care at all about custom ROM support.repatch wrote: ↑ With the MT processor that's the one to stay away from since it will have basically zero support for LTE in Canada. Per the specs:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900MHz; WCDMA: 850/900/1900/2100MHz, FDD LTE: 1800/2100/2600MHZ
Translation: Fine for 2G on Rogers, and 3G on Rogers/Bellus, rubbish for LTE since it only supports band 7.
I wouldn't bother with any phone that doesn't support, at the least, Bands 4 (AWS/1700) and 7(2600).
Also, it's probably got the Chinese ROM, which means no google play (you can sideload normally), and limited/no english options.

Just ordered through Eternal team & DHL. Their web page on Aliexpress says that it will be declared @ $45 but they do not specify what it will be declared as. I was under the impression they declare it as a gift.
After the order I received an email from them saying that "Normally we declare a value of $45 for each cellphone and list it as a cellphone."
Those who already received it through DHL (and got charged around $25 tax\customs): was it declared as a gift or as a cell phone ?
