Intend buying unlocked PRIV from BB UK but confused whether there is a particular version I need to specify?

Welcome to CrackBerry!
The STV100-3 is the easy answer, but it is not the model sold by ShopBB UK. ShopBB sells the STV100-4, which is slightly (IMO) less compatible with Australian networks: it is missing Optus' LTE band 40 (a secondary LTE network) and Vodafone's LTE band 5. As of now, it's fully compatible with Telstra's LTE networks.
