I'm super concerned about the Data speed, wondering if the N7100 is compatible to US T-mobile 4G network.
Most if not ANY unlocked GSM phone will Work on T-Mobile on EDGE.
T-Mobile does not have 4G they have 3G/HSPA+
But with the N7100 you will only get EDGE unless your in a refarmed 1900 area.
You're better off buying the Tmobile version.

Is there an international version that will use verizons 3g network? Im in the boonies with no chance of 4g for years yet so a pure 3g version would be great.

Most International phones only have 3g on AT&T, straight talk..gsm network. Verizon And sprint are on cdma therefore they do not work on gsm frequency.

I'm considering getting the Note 2 but unsure if I need the N7100 N7105, or does it matter? I'm in a 4G LTE area in Houston..

You can only get n7100 with hspa+ data speed. N7105 is LTE version that does not support US LTE band. If you want the LTE speed, your only option is to wait for at&t brand note 2.
I'm facing a dilemma... n7100 or at&t brand note 2?... LTE or hspa+... battery life differences.... ugh! So confused!

Can you explain why the N7105 won't work on AT&T's network despite it working in the 1900mhz baseband? I thought theoretically AT&T would be the only network compatible with the N7105 radios.
Almost all the other LTE networks in the US run on other frequencies which are explicitly not compatible, but not AT&T.

EDIT: N7105 LTE operates on 800, 900, 1800, and 2600mhz. That's why. As far as I know only Sprint's LTE network is theoretically compatible on the 800mhz baseband, and they don't offer SIM cards. :-/
I'm asuimg the only way to get 3G on T-Mobile is to be in a refarmed area? For the att note 2? Not really important for me I just though I'd try out the data speeds around on T-Mobile but only edge

can the international version of the S3 work on tmobile's LTE network?
No. S3 is not compatible with tmobile LTE and international version will only get Edge not even 4g
It may or It may not. Look at the tmobile's LTE bands and look at the international S3 bands if they the same it can. Also now that tmobile have the 1900 band and the iphone can get 3g. I think that now most of international phones with tmobiles 4g/3g

No. You'll probably need a newer galaxy s3 with the lte chip.

No. And worse it will only do 2G on the T-Mobile network until after the frequency realignment. Then it "might" be able to do HSPA+, but perhaps not.
LTE... Never.
I have a tmobile Galaxy note 2 but am using it on the AT&T network and want to get 4G LTE service. Is it possible with the new modem update unlocking 4G LTE on the note 2 to get this working on the AT&T network?
