Can I use it in Mexico? I noticed there is a difference in the North America versión (D820) vs. International (D821). I haven't seen it here and it seems like Mitsuo N. was able to use it...

Yes, this model will work in Mexico. Mexico has both GSM and CDMA networks,but GSM is far more prevalent than CDMA. (LTE build-out is way short of complete.) Roaming from a non-Mexican plan is likely to be expensive. Cheaper option is to buy a Mexican SIM card for use while you're there, but it's not absolutely required.

Yes, u can. i am also using it in different country altogether....the only difference between models is that one is supplied with headphones while other is not..thereos not country restrictions just put the micro sim and u r good to go.. hope this helps:-)

Not the version I bought. It came with North America and Vatican (weird). There seems to be different versions, Ive seen one with Argentina map, so may be there's one with Venezuela. Good luck.

Yo compre el celular y lo lleve a Mexico. Solamente me duro 2 dias y la pantalla se descompuso... Te recomiendo regresar el celular a amazon y pidas que te regresen el dinero. Muy mala experiencia con el celular, no lo recomendaria para nada. saludos

My dad used it in Mexico first and then gave as a gift to my sister who lives in Venezuela and she couldn't be happier. So the answer is fully unlocked nthere is no such thing as region unlock.

I assume you can, I bought it online and I'm using it in Mexico with no problem at all!

I'm afraid I couldn't tell you that, but I doubt it. I'm in Mexico & the current is the same as the US. All I can tell you is, the USB ports don't work! Find something else!

I got a South American model by accident. Oh well, no problem as long as I have problems. As for the menus, there is a choice for Japanese in the Language list. However, all the camera buttons are marked in Roman characters like AF, etc. As for an instruction manual, I had to download an English version from the Panasonic web site. I am guessing you could download a Japanese version from there also. I like the camera a lot. It is the perfect travel companion. I will get a 3rd party flash for it as the Panasonic one is too expensive. The pop up flash is too limited (too slow and too much redeye) as I take a lot of indoor shots.

I also bought a mio c520the has US maps on it by default. I was told by mio that I CAn't use Europe maps on it since the US models is only for US maps. Has anyone had the same experience?

Please correct me if I am wrong, but as I found out this was NOT a compatible model for North America. I called Panasonic directly and they concurred that this is a European model, UK to be exact. Obviously, major differences will be in voltage and region recordings. US similar product is SD60K which is not 3MOS unfortunately. Amazon didn't specify these important details when advertized.

Hi Jander. Yes, it is possible to use it in Brazil. It works in a very good performance with its all default settings and features. Go ahead! It is one of the best investments that I've ever made. Cheers!

I beleive it is a "rest of the world" product version. On initial setup you are prompted for a Country code. I have never chosen any thing but United States and don't remember all available code. Once code is chosen you have to default device to be able to see selection again

I have a question, and thank you.Basically of Sony pat it, and is the same.Because you can change the languages by setting, it is the same.For a difference, made places are different.The product made in Japan is made in Japan, but the edition in Asia is foreign countries.In addition, the software which there is in down low in software and a site is different.Because use in Japan applies, the software guarantees only a thing for Japan the product made in Japan.Conversely, the Asian product made in may use the software of the Asian area and the software for Japan in applying to the software which I downloaded, but is out of a guarantee object.The main difference is such a feeling.Thank you.

Hi, I purchased the Japanese model, and received it with a Japanese Menu ( and a Japanese manual). I don't have spanish option on my menu - just English and some other oriental languagese which I don't recognize (may be Korean or Chinese).I apologize for the late reply.
