Anyone know if USA orders from Clove incur customs fees? Also, kind of a bummer that it comes with the 3 prong uk charger. Understandable, but still a bummer.

I just ordered a Korean model from a seller with many thousands of positive feedback on ebay. The UK model has one more band supported by default that my USA carrier tmobile uses (band 66) but I'm sure that can be remedied later if need be. Tmo seems to mostly use bands 2, 4 and 12 near me and those are already supported.

Gotta love that DHL shipping, it's mind blowing to see your goods on the other side of the earth and then pick it up tomorrow as sometimes happens. On the other hand it isn't unusual for it to get hung up in customs for a few days before it goes anywhere, that would be what happened with mine. Shipped on the 9th and then sat in customs for days before it finally started moving. Once it did though... BANG. :) Course obsessively checking your tracking every 20 minutes and seeing your phone still in customs doesn't exactly make your day go by quickly. o_O

Anyone with the device in hand can confirm whether OEM Unlock is present in Developers Settings? I have N950F and don't have option in the Developers Settings.

Did your eBay seller remove the region lock for you before shipping or is that not an issue with the Korean model? If I understand correctly the region lock must be removed on the European models before using in the US.
