Hi guys...just curious if anyone here have bought the phone from O2? Would love to know if the one u get is R800a or R800at rather than R800i (which is most probably not the case rite?)? I'm travelling to the US a lot and the network interoperability is the issue here. Would love to have the phone coz I could kill a lot of time during flights and stuff but 3G is a real issue here coz my trip is usually for work so e-mail/web is ultimately unavoidable -_-''

Unless I'm mistaken, the R800a and R800at (not even released anywhere), are sold only in North America - in Canada or on eBay. I think everywhere else gets the R800i. And the R800i is definitely not 3G capable in the US. It will only work on EDGE.

O2 Uk/IE/GER etc will be the R800i be it generic or with their own bloatware.

as stated R800a and R800at are US/Canada. Not sure what the model in Asian markets is.

European market is always an i with Sony Ericsson

Fwiw, the "AT&T" variant they gave out at Google I/O is the R800a.
Which of course doesn't mean the AT&T consumer model will be anything similar if/when such a thing exists.

I know this is an old forum, but.......

can anybody tell me the differences between the models? well i suppose i dont want all the differences; the main thing i want to know is:
will the digitizer for an r800i work for and r800a? i have a strong feeling it will and a little bit of evidence that shows that it should, but i thought i would ask to see if anybody else would know. thanks.

Someone can probably back me up or correct me but I think really the only difference between the models is just the region they come from(The r800x is a Verizon Wireless version and it is stock android vs the Sony skinned one the r800i or r800a has)
