[LG Optimus G Pro] optimusGpro:
LG G pro import help guide orientation

Hi fellow G pro enthusiasts! :victory:

been playing with the idea of a 5" formfactor since the 5"dell came out couple years back. I think now the tech is really ripe and I am ready for that little investment. As I never imported a phone before ANY tipps, experiences or warnings regarding import to Europe are HIGHLY appreciated

I have seen some french and german folks here and I think there many more ppl who would benefit from your shared experiences.

even when you punch it in in under a minute making it short and sweet like

1.price you paid for the device

2.additional costs you paid for taxes and shipping into your country

3.how long it took to ship from your seller

I sincerely belief that it is one of the best phones out right now for big size lovers so it would be great to see some input and inspiration that helps people all over the world to get this (slightly underrated?) device.

As I want to be as helpful as I can as well:

For everybody interested in this phone the best resources so far for me are:

actual original ! sized image of the phone to get a real visual impression

NOW to the SOURCES!

The only competition to the already mentioned seller superbrands on ebay (thank you Hendrickson for that insight!!!) as for now seems to be the ebay seller "thebestservice4you"? Which as for now has not as many specific positive reviews regarding the lg optimus pro as superbrands who seem to fill a niche need by specializing in exporting this device.

The only other alternative I know is the japanese shop mentioned by aydn: but I dont understand a character :confused: and google doesnt translate the text in the images on the page [] nttdocomo. co.jp/product/next/l04e/index.html BUT as far as I can see ordering in this language is a challenge and there is no paypal or ebay security option.

Another option shared by hamabucon is coming from korea through Gmarket (english.gmarket.co.kr) with not fully google translatable ordering process and different prices and even different sellers so again there is a big trust issue.

So fellow G pro folks everywhere! every one of your inputs is valuable ! Thanks for reading hope this was helpful and hopefully YOU share some of your knowledge to help spread that G pro all over the planet. It is such a great device and I think it deserves way more attention than it gets. :fingers-crossed: Good luck everyone ;)

Grateful greetings from Germany

Just another quick addition:

As far as I understand the G pro has no version with gorilla glass as has its little sister G right?

so I looked through and there many pritty cases yet my favorite find is this quite practical 2 in 1 wallet and phone (as long as you tip all of your coins and only carry paper and plastic money) by the name of Tridea Italian Leather Flip. You can find it on most amazon stores for about 20-30$

i am sure there many other great cases just wanted to add this to the resource list I provided in the post above.

Hope this is helpful

Greetings
