Sorry if this question has been answered, but is anyone using the MI2 in the US? From what I understand I'll only be able to get HSPA+ on AT&T ( bands 850 and 1900 are officially supported for the MI2). I own a Nexus 4, and it has the same radio chipset as the MI2. I'm currently on T-Mobile prepaid, and it supports bands 1700, 1900, and 2100 for UTMS, but from what I've noticed it's normally using the 1700/2100 band, and the MI2 apparently doesn't support the 1700 band. 1900 is available in my area for T-Mobile, but it's sparse. Can you flash Nexus 4 radios? You can flash Optimus G radios on the Nexus 4, but that's because the hardware is nearly identical.
Anyway, I've been interested in this device since it was announced, and I have a $20 off coupon at AliExpress on the 26th of March. Has anyone been successful buying a genuine MI2 on AliExpress. Specifically a 16GB model?
Can any one confirm that either of these sellers are selling legitimate devices? Or can you please point me to an AliExpress seller that has shipped genuine devices?

The "supply ability" seems extremely ridiculous @ 1000 units. I see that e-r-a-n was successful with this seller, but I'm still leery because she's only sold one device.
I've purchased items from both Aliexpress and Alibaba without issues, but I've never purchased smartphones.
