Just got an H8314 model and verizon is unable to activate the phone. Are there multiple versions of the H8314 that I should know about. Shouldn't all of them be compatible with verizon?
Are there variants of the H8314 not compatible with Verizon?

Did Verizon offer to activate a new SIM in the device? Did you check the IMEI?
I took it to Verizon to get activated and it didn't work, nor did anything I tried. They punched in the IMEI several times and it never came up as working with their network.
Same thing happened to me today.
Last night the tier 2 tech guy told me I needed a new sim card.
Anyone else have any success activating it?
What's the trick?
The Verizon website says that its certified for use on it's network.
There are 2 versions of the H8314, one that works with Verizon and one that doesn't (international). Unfortunately, the international ones are easier to find online, if it says it doesn't work on Verizon/CDMA despite it being this version, then believe it. The American variant seems to be a bit more expensive than the international version.
Aren't the internal components the same?
Couldn't you just flash the US version of the firmware?
I don't know. My firmware flashing days are behind me to know this for sure.
