The specs on HSN list a pretty complete set of LTE bands, including 3, 7 and 20 for Europe. I can't help being skeptical given that my unlocked Verizon E4 only has bands 2, 4, 5, and 13 enabled so is limited on GSM; the Motorola site shows a smaller set of bands not including 20 for the E5's, but I understand that the TF E5 is a mongrel model anyway. This is a DL-suffix phone, so does anyone have one working with a TF GSM SIM, and can you confirm that at least the domestic GSM bands (eg: 12,17,30,66) are enabled? On a related topic, does anyone know of an app that can list the LTE bands a phone supports without requiring root? Thanks.
