I assume you mean the J Butterfly? There's a thread or two but no forum.
Nope. There is a butterfly which is this one. J butterfly is the Japanese. I think butterfly its made for the Hong Kong market.

I have the x920e which is the one for the Chinese market. There are 4 models that I know of (US, Taiwan, Japan, China). Go to settings, about, software info, what does say under "software number"?

Yep, in China it retails for 4,799RMB (which is about $770 USD). In the US we can get good deals on phones because the carriers subsidize them. In China and other parts of the world no subsidies exist (at least not in the same fashion they do in the US).
I still managed to get DNA more than $200 less than that without any subsidy
Ebay FTW.

I'll be joining you guys today. I just ordered a Butterfly, I presume its a grey import (I'm living in the UAE). I'm a bit worried about battery life as I travel allot on business... How have you found the battery life?
Am I right to think that the Butterfly doesn't have the wireless charging of the DNA?
Just a quick query... I have the phone set up now and its all good so far. However, is there supposed to be an NFC app on the phone? I guess not as it is possibly something that is controlled by the tags...
I ask, because there is nothing on the box saying NFC and there is nothing to indicate its on the phone. I suppose I'll just have to get some tags to test it.
Working in China and bought this phone recently without realizing that there is no Google Play but instead factory load "HTC marketplace" with Chinese apps (copied into Chinese version). Contacted HTC China technical support, they only said sorry and sorry this phone cannot have Google Play and for China users only......

Thank you for contacting HTC.
We are very sorry for the inconvenience. Since your handset is shipping to China. As you know, for some business reason Google do not serve for China any more. Then Chinese Government won’t allow Google apps installed in the handset. In the Android system, HTC won’t install the Google play store for the device which is shipping to China. Because all the software in the HTC handset need to be verified by Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China. So we are very sorry to say that we can’t help you to install the Google Play. If you want to download some apps which you can’t found in HTC marketplace , may be you can try to search on the other website. Should you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us again. We look forward to be of service to you again.
Have a nice day!

BTW, I have 3 other HTC Sensation (with Chinese SIM/Nos), One X and One X+ (bought in Malaysia) and the Google Play Store work fine here except that I just can't connect the Facebook, YouTube and those banned in China. When returning to Malaysia they are normalise. This crap about Chinese Ministry is b/s and that would just encourage foreigners bringing their own phones or buy foreign phones from gery market, that's help the economy....
