      Neb, 30 Mar 2015I am thinking of buying Butterfly 3 and ship it to UK. BUT ... moreI think the butterfly 2 only works with EE and 3 (at the moment) with LTE, though 3G works with all networks. The camera is only 13mp but really good quality. It is still on Kitkat though, I heard an update to Lollipop is happening next month.

          Darne, 30 Mar 2015I hate htc user interfaceSo what? Just install another launcher or root the phone. It's that easy..
          Nobody likes stock, no matter the brand.
          I just wish they made black interface instead of white..

                If its anything like butterfly 2 it will have limited Asian availability, i saw bf2 in Manila but it was ultra rare other places in PH, and only a handful of stores in Manila had it as well. Will be hard to find i bet but Hong Kong or Singapore should be ok, esp Hong Kong with no tax and no VAT. Keep in mind that it can cost more in airport taxfree stores as Hong Kong itself is one giant "taxfree zone".

                  Neb, 30 Mar 2015I am thinking of buying Butterfly 3 and ship it to UK. BUT ... moreA "general" east/southeast Asian version (not Japanese or Indian subcontinent) will do well with European LTE but im not familiar with GB bands.

                        I bought my Butterfly 2 from Hong Kong and had it shipped to England. It's the best phone I've ever had and I have never seen anyone else in England with one!
