    I'm currently visiting London from Orlando where I am on T-Mobile network. If I can buy a Red Edition Key2 to bring back to Florida, will it work properly? I understand not all bands might be available. Thanks for any input!

    It would function as well as T-MOBILE functions back here in Florida as if you were visiting here and popped in Florida SIM during an Orlando stay.

    The BBF100-2 has the proper NA bands - and that's what's being offered.

    just ordered on Amazon and snagged one. $699 plus tax so $745 all inclusive. Cheaper than buying the International model that would have been inferior for US use

    As you are one of their biggest supporters here, BBMo could do a lot worse sending out a few freebies to their strongest supporters.

    That isn't me, but there are a few here like you that are regular, and for the most part positive about BBMo and it's products. Have seen some that have soured over time, or have just left.... a brand new free phone, might kept that from happening.

    Maybe I should start a poll or a "fund me" page to get Conite (and a few other) a RED KE2.....

    The international version has enough band compatibility to work just fine.

    But ATT, Telus, and Bell use band 29 for video streaming, which reduces buffering quite a bit. Band 66 is up and coming for many carriers too.

    It all depends where you live.

    Ok clear.

    Functioning and optimized are different levels of satisfaction.
