Ok guys.
On the original AT&T Note the radios or modems could be flashed to make the Note work on TMO "4G."
From what I understand, there won't be any hardware difference between the US and International Note 2's except some won't have LTE. So I'm guessing they won't have a LTE chip/Antennae? Do you guys think after the US variants come out there'll be a radio/modem flash to get the International Note 2 on 4G here in the US/Canada?
Please excuse my ignorance.

Am i right to say that the GT7100 is the 3g version and the 7105 is the LTE?
Indeed. N7105 is LTE, N7100 is HSPA+
Should i get the former because of the FM radio? What does the latter have to offer other than LTE?
BTW, currently the 7105 is not compatible with USA(ATT) LTE....
"Maybe" someone will figure out how to port over the modem bin from the ATT Note 2 (when it comes out) over to the 7105 and get it to work..
Can anyone please tell me why i should wait for TMo (besides pricing) and not just buy the international Note 2? Are there dramatic differences in the hardware and software? Will the International not have the capability to run on LTE (when TMo actually upgrades)?
Im not anerican so i cabt help on much part except what i know
Here is what i know.
International Note is HSPA+ but NOT LTE.
Please give me some advice. I want to purchase the N7100 because of its developments, but i have also heard the radio frequency is different so T-mobile 4G network in the US is not available to use. I'm just wondering if i should just get the T-mobile version, which has less development than the N7100, instead.
What do you guys think?
Just get the tmobile version..n7100 may have more development but ports would be simple enough considering the variants have similar hardware

HSPA won't work on n7100. N7100 is quad band compatible, not pentaband on HSPA. You require the T889
I'm currently on T-Mobile and was wondering if both models of the unlocked Note 2 would work on T-Mobile's 42 Mbps HSPA+ network; will they? Also what are the differences between the two models? Does one also have a larger developer base than the other? These answers will influence which model of the note 2 I buy.
Am not sure, but i think that the N7105 is the LTE version of the international Non-LTE N7100 (witch is mine).

Hspa+ is 3g so yeah it should work on international one.
And yeah n7100 has a significantly larger user base.

So I just got a International Note 2 from a friend who was in Germany. I see its a N7100 and stated to not work on LTE. That really kills me. I wanted it bad. So now I am stuck with a issue...can I get Tmo 4g lte on this any way possible?
Can I flash the T889 factory image over this phone which would get me the tmobile factory. Would that enable it. I mean the phone has to have the radio inside to work on the LTE right but you just have to get to it some way. Or is it really a hardware adjustment that I cannot do anything about?

I believe that the n7100 only supports hspa on tmobile. Not lte.

If I helped you hit that Thanks button!
The baseband hardware in the N7100 is significantly different from the one in the T889/I317/N7105 variants. (Intel vs Qualcomm)
Don't bother with the T-Mobile USA images, they won't work on the N7100 without some modifications. Unless you use Wi-Fi calling, I'd say you're better off with international versions anyway.
