Any differences? I know the quad processor was a big difference on the note 1. I think thats been taken care of. How about the home button? Are they soft on the international version?
No differences buddy. It will be released to all 5 major networks here in the US by mid-November. With LTE (except T-Mobile, HSPA+) and with a Quad Core.

Appears the N7105 will be international and support European LTE bands, which is different from USA. Appears the N7100 will support LTE bands (ATT etc) in U.S., but not totally confirmed. Just pointing out, still a question. if you just wait to get from ATT, as an example, previous post is totally correct, no differences at this point.

Well I hope the international bands are the same for LTE, Cause I wanna plan on buying the international one, Upgrading my N7000. The reason why is cause By the time I pay for TAXES to pay retail at AT&T It would be about $50 dollars cheaper to buy the international one
Wonder if the international one will have more support?

Traditionally the international units tend to get software updates sooner.
Does anyone know if the exynos will have SVDO support like the us versions of the gs3?
At least the sprint version will have cdma, GSM, and LTE.
No details so far about the Verizon model.

if it supports GSM when it's a CDMA phone then it is a world phone...... reading the info from the link it's a world phone without a doubt. unless they have the wrong info posted.

Support for GSM is just a part of it. It need to be able to use multiple frequency bands(which it does) normally it it's tri/quad band it's ok, But also it need to have a SIM slot which you can replace SIM card from carrier outside the US then you can call that a world phone.

It's because the chipset has been different. In this case, Note 2 will have the same Exynos for all models. It means compatibility across the board is a possibility.

no its currently unavailable for any U.S. carriers unless you get the LTE version.
You can however spend ~$700 and buy the phone for the full price. That's the only way to get it on T-Mobile/AT&T.

wow. i can't believe it. this is the worst nexus launch ever. guess i just wait for the next batch of smartphones to come out.
unfortunately zephik is correct. if your a T-mobile customer buying it unlocked is the only way to get the phone.
And right now there is no reason to expect a T-Mobile release in the US anytime soon.
basically if you don't want to do that, buy a galaxy s 2 and install cyanogen 9 on it when it eventually comes out. or just wait. but it could be a very very very long wait.

Most likely after Verizon's exclusivity to Galaxy Nexus which is unsure at this time.
Keep in mind that when the AT&T version launches (or vice versa), it should be compatible with both 4G networks because of pentaband.

That's so silly, such a step backwards and waste of money changing the bands and creating more models of the same phone but I guess we'll just have to wait and see when the AT&T/T-Mo version gets announced.
Typical U.S. carriers wish U.S. carriers were more like European ones. They all offer the same phone, difference are the plans/service/coverage which is better competition in the end imo.
looks like im gonna have to choose between the htc amaze or sgs 2 now. leaning more toward the sgs2 though

+1 to what jetrii said. The LTE uses a MicroSIM card (I believe), it doesn't support T-Mobile or AT&T bands. Only Verizon's 4G LTE network.
So, now that Sprint has announced that it's bringing the galaxy to its network, would it be possible to buy a Verizon branded one now and once the sprint version is released, flash it to a sprint PRL and activate it on their network? Or is the hardware different?

No.
Verizon LTE: 700mhz.
Sprint LTE: 1900mhz.
So... Both are carrier phones.
If you want freedom, don't buy a carrier-phone. You'd think that'd be obvious by now.
Please show us that option in the states unless we want to import.
No?
K.
Don't assume all users here are outside of the United States. It was a legit question.
I don't think sprint will activate non branded phones anymore.
Not to say its impossible, its not. It would work with 3g only though and the steps to get it on the network would likely be illegal (ESN cloning a current sprint device for starters) in addition to changing all of the APN settings etc.
Not going to happen, especially with sprint releasing the same device soonish, unless you do it yourself.

Huh? he clearly wasn't assuming the OP was outside of the United States, considering he was responding to a question about VERIZON and SPRINT. Yes the only way to go "carrier-less" is an import. Everyone has the option to import and run in AT&T, T-Mo, Simple, or other GSM regionals if they want. The argument shouldn't be "carrier phone" vs. "not carrier phone", but rather CDMA vs GSM, considering most ppl on XDA, even if they buy a "carrier phone", wouldn't mind unlocking it and moving it around. That's possible on GSM, not so much on CDMA (except certain cases like Sprint MVNO's).
Anyway... OP this was discussed in a very (VERY) lengthly thread about a month ago when the Verizon GN came out. Short answer? No, it won't work.

How is importing it any different then running to the store and picking one up? Same phone, same warranty, same price. Yeah if something happens I have to send it to Clove, Handtec, Negri back to the UK...big deal.
But he's obviously a Sprint customer, and wasn't interested in importing a GSM version anyway.
I was under the impression that most users here were from the USA, judging by the mass influx since Verizon release. GSM seems to be the minority.
What I said stands. Unless you want to import, you cannot have a carrier free device.
The person I responded to said get a carrier-free device. The poster was talking Verizon vs. Sprint, which means LTE.

We don't know what LTE band its radio chip supports (other than the Verizon band), yet. But don't buy a Verizon Nexus just hoping that you can use it on Sprint in the future. Sprint LTE network won't launch until later this year, and by then you will have many more choices of ICS phones, and/or the price of Nexus may have lowered considerably.

Not surprising given the GSM version's international availability. Maybe the Verizon users are simply more vocal...All I meant was that in the couple weeks since the Verizon version dropped the general section in particular has exploded, where it was far more quiet before. GalNex is available around the world on many carriers, yet every other thread mentions CDMA/LTE (exclusive to Verizon). Very out of proportion. Just an observation.
Wait a minute, is the imported version capable of CDMA/LTE? Someone mentioned if you want a carrier free one then get an imported one. I was looking on eBay and in one I noticed it said it will work for AT&T/TMO 3/4G and LTE where available. I don't think this is the case but if it is someone fill me in.

The specs shown in the OP link looks like it's Galaxy Nexus in general (not just the LTE version). The LTE network is not operational in Norway (do correct me if im wrong), and since it wasn't operational at launch time of the Nexus they decided not to import the LTE version to Norway.
I can't understand they would do that unless the LTE version won't work on regular GSM networks.

You could use the LTE Nexus as LTE-only on a carrier with GSM and LTE. However, the Nexus only supports LTE Band 13, which means your carrier would also have to be using Band 13. So far, Verizon is the only carrier on earth that uses Band 13.
Making it more complicated, your carrier would have to have implemented Voice over LTE and IMS SMS otherwise your phone would be data only and unable to receive calls/text messages.

The 32gb version in the US is the Verizon one.
Or even flash it in At&T SG3. Samsung said the hardware are the same and have all the frequencies. i believe it might not be advertised this way from the carriers. Just thinking out loud.
Sorry i posted in the wrong section. Admin please move to Q&A

Eh, I dont think so. Not at first anyway... after some hackery it might be possible.
The US versions are all the same.
The International version is very different.
It will never work.
I have yet to get 5 bars on my SGS3. Kinda odd.
Not a good idea as someone already stated they're different. I did that once by accident with the original galaxy s. Flashed the canadian firmware for the US version of the phone and ended up bricking it. Not even a jig bought it back to life.

It hasn't been tested yet on the S3. And while it works on the Note, it is far from optimal. I have not read since the early stages but it would freeze and get awful battery life on T-Mobile.

The US [GSM] models, ok. The international model, 100% no.
And as I understood, the T-Mobile version is pentaband out of the box (it will get AT&T 3G/4G 1900 MHz) because T-Mobile is moving to that frequency. So if anything, get the T-Mobile one and use it on AT&T if you don't care about LTE.

Well the At&T Galaxy Note is what inspired me to think it might be doable!! The At&T Note i have is working fine with Simple Mobile and picking up 4g all the way. the battery sucks anyways even with the At&T modem. Also, you guys should note that stationed in Kuwait and im using the At&T Note with T-mobile modem overseas and still working great. Yes i have 3G as they dont have 4G here. they funny thing is that i still shows 4G and run about 19Mbps in most places.
I can get the international SGIII in Kuwait for $250 16G unlocked (NICE RIGHT?) but when im home i use the Simple mobile network(T-mobile).
you can call it greed but i want to have 2GB RAM, LTE, T-mobile 4G and the ablity to use every network in the world
I hope someone can make this happen
The reason it worked with the AT&T Note is because the T-Mobile S2 used the same SoC (Snapdragons S3). The US Galaxy S3's have Snapdragon S4's, the International has an Exynos 4412. The SoC's (CPU, RAM, Radios, DAC) are COMPLETELY different. It will NOT work. It's not software magic that got the Note to work. It's the fact that it supported the 1700 MHz frequency. The Exynos SoC's radio doesn't. You'll end up bricking the phone and requiring a JTAG.

The US [GSM] models, ok. The international model, 100% no.
And as I understood, the T-Mobile version is pentaband out of the box (it will get AT&T 3G/4G 1900 MHz) because T-Mobile is moving to that frequency. So if anything, get the T-Mobile one and use it on AT&T if you don't care about LTE.

Can you please confirm this, if I get the T-mobile version, and get it unlocked and use my existing AT&T sim on it, it will get 3G/4G speeds?. Would the international version also not give the same?. 4G speeds with AT&T?.
Thanks.

I'm using the i9300 (International) on Straight Talk AT&T, which runs on AT&T's base network, and I get full HSPA+ (of course, no LTE). The i9300 runs on AT&T's bands, so if you used it on T-Mobile you'd only get EDGE (for now, because they're moving their network onto the same frequency as AT&T). If the T-Mobile version is indeed pentaband as I suspect, then unlocking it and using it on AT&T will give you the same data speeds as using the international version on AT&T.
Will there be multiple models in the US based on carrier or a single version regardless if you are on ATT/Vzw/Sprint/T-Mo??
Thx

No way to tell for now. Most likely when they become available and they are out in the public can we compare model numbers. Or if HTC details this on sunday.
I would put my money on it being the same as before. GSM variant with only difference being specific frequency bands enabled on carrier models and two separate CDMA models for Sprint/Verizon.
It would be a great idea to have a universal GSM/CDMA model like the iPhone and Nexus 6, but yea i doubt it.
I think Multiple

I think there is going to be multiple models as the US companies take into consideration the user preferences.
The beauty of HTC in Europe - one model for all networks (but different software builds for each carrier)
Hold on let me look in the future...

I would expect multiple models to ensure Advanced Calling compliance.

I hope that's not the case this time. If the unlocked version of the M9 doesn't support T-Mobile (the unlocked M8 was AT&T only) I'm going to pass on this and maybe get a Z3. I don't want a phone loaded down with T-Mobile's crap and have to wait for T-Mobile to push updates out.
It looks like there will be 2 separate versions for AT&T and T-Mobile:

The AT&T version covers the T-Mobile LTE bands, and will probably be sold as the unlocked version as well. I'm assuming it won't cover T-Mobile's AWS 1700, just like the unlocked M8.

Grr.. Man these carriers are the worst thing. I was hoping the unlocked model will have all the bands but looks like it will just be the AT&T model minus logo and AT&T bloat like last year. Hopefully that's not the case but highly unlikely.

Confirmed on the HTC M9 Specs page... the unlocked version won't support AWS UTMS.

According to this support page on the HTC site, it supports AWS:
