I see at PDAshop.nl and wehkamp and phoneshop.nl that the phones they sell is 4G (LTE)
I see that the Dutch version of the Note 2 is not 4G (LTE) a.k.a normal N7100 and not N7105.
They also cant tell me if this is true or not (Samsung) and when the 32Gb or 64GB comes to the Netherlands.
Does anybody have more information on this?
If it is 4G ill get it straight away.
Greetings.

Hi there, i have bought my SGN2 at the phone house and i got the N7100 so i guess we have the international model.
If a company adverts with untrue facts.
Are you in your rights to return the Object?
And does the N7105 work with KPN?

((( I moved this post from General to Q&A ))
I'm looking a purchasing a Samsung Note II that will be used on AT&T network. Since my upgrade is a year away, I have a Skyrocket that's only a year old, this phone will be a full price for me. I'm trying to find out some specific questions on the different Note II phone types, euro vs North America and what preloaded software differences are between them.
* the Note II that I purchase MUST have 4G LTE (AT&T FINALLY turned on 4G LTE in North East OKLA about 4 weeks ago! ..LOVEING IT).
* 10 minutes after I purchase the phone and verifying that everything is in working order it gets rooted.
I can purchase the phone from AT&T for full retail for 649. Best Buy said they would match that price (we'll see if they really do). When at Best Buy I asked about the preloaded software on the Note II (sense they do not have a working model on the floor) I was told in a blunt tone that it was an AT&T phone so it would work on AT&T's network.
Question---
1. Is the AT&T Note II phone that Best Buy sells have the same preloaded junk that comes on the one at the AT&T store?
2. Is the AT&T Note II phone that Best Buy sells been stripped of some of the Note II futures like the one at the AT&T store?
-- I read on an Amazon review the following http://www.amazon.com/review/R2Q2WM4I4VO8J7/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#R2Q2WM4I4VO8J7
Be aware that the AT&T version of the Galaxy Note II is currently missing various standard functionality that Samsung is marketing and the other major carriers provide- missing functionality include:
~Multiview
~Group Shot Camera mode - with the ability to change faces
~Mobile data toggle
~Blocking mode toggle
~Screen Recorder
Since I am trying to get the most bang for my buck (a lot of bucks) which Note II phone that will work on AT&T that has 4G LTE should I be looking at?
(note- I suffered waiting on an ICS update from AT&T, so not having to depended on AT&T for my Android updates is a big plus)
Any advise or pointers is appreciated
Thanks
1.yes
2.yes
I will never buy a phone with a att stamp on it.

non carrier branded
So if I go with an unlocked phone- non carrier branded, which model number should I get that will work on AT&T and have LTE?
I saw this on another review-
Update: LTE! There are many people commenting about this. Apparently there's a version of the international Note 2 (not the N7100) that sports LTE, the model number is N7105 and it comes with "LTE 700 MHz Class 17 / 2100" (Sources: GSM Arena, Engadget and XDA forums). If you have a N7100 the LTE radio is simply not there. However this is not guarantee that the N7105 will work with AT&T's or Tmo's LTE, it all depends if those frequencies are compilant with those carriers' respective LTE signals. As LTE network compatibility can be a deal breaker for many people within the US, I suggest you to research very well before buying it. If someone can squeeze any info out of AT&T or Tmo, please comment. To shed more light on this issue, you can Google the xda thread 1917383. (Geez, all this makes me feel kinda happy I don't have to worry about LTE compatibility yet).
The only way to get lte with a note on att is with their model. If you can live with out lte the get N7100.in San Diego I get around 8mb down and around 2 up.

If you get the N7105, it will have LTE, but in the wrong bands for AT&T.
GT-N7105 (International Note 2): 800/1800/2600
SGH-i317 (AT&T Note 2): 700/850/AWS/1900
See how those don't line up?
I'd just get the 7100. You'll get 21mbps with that on AT&T with HSPA+ and you won't have any carrier BS. HSPA+ is pretty dang quick.
Might want to check this site too http://www.dailysteals.com/ got a good deal on note 2's today.
I am running the 7100 on AT&T in Phoenix. The lack of LTE does not bug me too often as the HSPA+ is good enough for my needs.
However, the OP stated that they would be rooting the phone. As such a clean bloat-free ROM for the AT&T phone would work on LTE. I have not been in the AT&T forums, but I assume there are bloat-free ROMs with all the missing features turned on.

Yes I plan on rooting the phone and installing a clean bloat free ROM. (rant) I just wanted to buy a phone with all the futures the EU version has and without the silly branding/bloat that carriers do, all they do is muck up the phone.
Hi everyone,
I was wondering that if I brought a note 8.0 4g lte from US, could 4g network be worked in Hong Kong ? Do I need to unlock it ?
Thanks

If you bought it straight from Samsung, or at least not from a mobile carrier it should come out as unlocked therefore you could use it anywhere in the world as long as it's LTE compatible, but there's no such thing as a Note 8.0 LTE available and there's not even a release date for it although it is supposed to be coming out, maybe in a few months.
You could get the 3G version from the Philippines but if you're trying to get it down to Hong Kong, it might turn out to be quite expensive for you

4g? USA don't even have the 3g version yet, so no LTE for sure, if you are in Hong Kong you should know right?
Band is a main concern if you'd like to use any US LTE device in Hong Kong. It will turn out LTE won't work.
US LTE uses 700,750,850,AWS,1900,2500(TDD)
HK LTE uses 900,1800,2600
Do you think will it work?
I'm heading to South Korea shortly and am wondering if there is a local S. Korean GSM chip that I can put into my Note II and get both voice/data service? I recall many years ago that S. Korea was predominantly, if not exclusively, a CDMA network. Anyone with personal experience with this? Worse case I will just rent a phone... although I'd much prefer to use my own.
Thanks!

Hello,
I am headed to NYC in two weeks and wondering if the 32GB US LTE model will work on the EE 4G in UK? Buying the LTE model in US is almost £60 cheaper so wondering if this is possible.
Thanks in advance.
No, wouldn't work.

You have D820.
you gonna need D821 model for LTE to work in UK or any place in the world.
So, in August 16th, I got a surprise call from Samsung Headquarter Store in Korea that Galaxy Note 7 that I have pre ordered was available earlier than 19th.. and it was Blue Coral ! yay! ...
Then I brought it to the United States... and I only get 3G.....
Is it normal that foreign phones brought to the U.S only works with 3g network...
Is there anyway that I can use LTE network...
my current carrier is AT&T and plan is Gophone LTE 60...
the model is SM-N930S made for SK telecom in South Korea and powered by Exynos chip.
Thank you !
P.S: When you guys visit South Korea, you guys should visit Samsung D'light headquarter store in Gangnam Station exit 8 !! all samsung peripherals are cheaper there...

Yes this happens sometimes depending on the device and carrier.
Easy enough to avoid however, we all know what bands AT&T uses (and if not easy to find out) so checking if the particular device in question has those bands (again easy enough to find out) before buying is of course the wise move.
On some devices in the past it has been possible to enable other bands but the note 7 is so new I doubt anyone has tried yet.
