It is worth to have LTE network support. Like me, i need faster internet to email and upload heavy file for my work. LTE in the phone is bonus for me when away from office or pc.

Really important to watch 1080p videos or for streaming porn on your phone.
And of course for torrenting small files on your phone too.

I got everything, assembled half way. Just need to do wiring (lazy...) and I should start calibrating and get it going.

Great. Just wondering where you're getting the heater and ink.

I will say source everything from outside, aliexpress.com is a good place to start finding. The ONLY thing you should source locally is the hardware, i.e. nuts, bolts, washers, shafts and stuff. Even power supply is cheaper if you get from China.

not in Malaysia tho. Data plans here are friggin expensive and you won't even dare to stream Youtube, what more 1080p videos, unless you are running on an unlimited data plan.

I disagree. Who knows 2-3 years down the road, your area have LTE but u got a non-LTE phone, then u are stuck.
Plan ahead is always better. It's only a bit more expensive to get a LTE version, wont cost you an arm or a leg.

I think you misinterpreted my message wrongly. I said LTE is the way to go at this point of time which is why not many people are keen on getting the US sets. Only for those who do not have LTE coverage in their areas can consider the US set if they are really eager to get their hands on the N5.

Having said that, 2-3 years for a phone is rather long no? Not many will stick to their phones for that long in this age of technology unless he/she loves the phone truly or does not intend to waste unnecessary money of course .

I'll stick to my RM300-cheaper US set and RM28 data plan for now, saves me about RM550 a year compared to if I get an LTE version and LTE-enabled data plan. Will probably change phones within next two years, so don't think it will be a biggie for me.

If you leave in KL/Selangor, it is worth for u to get the LTE version. If not, US set already good to get it.

tongue.gif Just do what is within means. Phantomash is also experienced. I suppose a changelog helps both ts and readers to remember updates better.

Maybe compiling the price from each region? (Sort of like "how can you get one" walkthrough)

You should get whichever suits your budget. Don't let anyone tell you what you should own or what you shouldn't. The money is yours, you make the decisions. smile.gif

If not mistakakrn, there is no charge or specific plan to use LTE network. Just go to service centre n apply to change normal simcard to LTE sim card.
