What's up everyone? I was on CL trying to find a reasonable swap for my girlfriend to take with her to London in January for a study abroad program for her Psychology program at IUSB. I have an S3 on VZW that I have had since about 1 1/2 weeks prior to release and she has a GNex. She COULD take my phone with her, but she isn't tech savvy, so let's get past that first wave of comments right now.
Anyways, while wondering the wonderful world of CL I found a reasonably priced AT&T S3 (Red), but the sticker on this guys screen says it has the Quad Core CPU. You guys got the Exynos in the red version?
http://southbend.craigslist.org/mob/3370904809.html
There are no quad core lte s3's. There is a dual core lte in red. I think it has the wrong sticker on the screen
Maybe its the i9300 in red.

Exactly my thoughts. An international version, which does in fact pack quad cores.

What i believe mrhaley was trying to get at is that there are some contradictory notes here....
1) Garnet Red is an AT&T specific color
2) The only quad-core version of the S3 that also supports LTE is the i9305, which is the International S3, not an AT&T specific one.
3) the i9305 only comes in Black or Silver... not Red, which means it wouldn't be a quad core, rather it would be an AT&T Garnet Red Dual Core that DOES support LTE.
They allow you to swap girlfriends on Craig's list? I need to go on there more often.

Oh well, I have already decided she is getting a Nexus 4. That way at least there isn't a learning curve for her coming from CM10 on GNex to CM10/Etc on the Nexus 4. And, less likelihood I will have to trouble shoot something ridiculous from hundreds of miles away.

I forgot to mention, a slight error in the video about the fake GS3's. The real ones back plate, at least on VZW, is painted on over the surface of the clearcoat. Of course, the front Samsung emblem isn't, just the back plate.

Yeah it looks really nice with the logos on front
Yeah I prefer no names too. I debadged my car first thing when I got it, I wish there was a way to debadge my phone too. It may be possible with a replacement screen, though it'd probably be expensive. I replaced my HD2s digitizer with an unbranded one & it looks pretty slick

Problem is , it is the CPU interface to the radio on the cpu in the og gs2 that is not capable of handling the speed, not the baseband or radio ....
That is the reason they changed the CPU and not just the radio ...
if you got an unlocked international SGS2, even if it had a 4g radio in it, the cpu/chipset cannot handle the speed ..

This phone could have had the exybos processor, but TMO wanted it to have the 42 mbps download speed (which u can't reach anyways) which is not compatible with the extnos Chooser. In other words, tmo took a Ferrari and replaced the internals with a Toyota just to say that it could theoretically be just as fast.

Not really... if this thing is only marginally faster than the USA version (not Exynos), then the international is probably already better. In that respect, it's safe to assume anyway that Samsung will obviously release a way faster S4 anyway.
Also S3 was released a couple months back meanwhile this was released just recently and processor is only marginally faster? Granted, Apple only made it as fast as it needed to be probably
The table doesn't show the US s3, it shows the international with the quad core exynos

Anyways, cracks me up,I thought the benchmark whores on this site were bad. Man, this guys win one bench and they are going nuts. It was hilarious reading through the comments, all those guys last year were saying that benchmark don't matter and they are always incorrect now they are the most accurate tool in the world. Everyone knows benchmark are useless, I got my inside to benchmark insane numbers by tweaking just a few things. I want to see side by side comparisons, then a definitive conclusion can be drawn

Doubt "one day later" is really "been out much longer than", but yeah I wanna ***** and whine, too. I was hoping since the Intl. version had been out "much longer than" the TMO version, that we'd get the latest and greatest firmware with it included. Major let down on that front, but the phone kicks ass regardless. At least, this is good news, because it means our phones won't take much longer to get updated...hopefully!
You could also complain "everyone else sells accessories for the Note 2 except TMO" which is irritating, by the way (I've done my own *****ing and whining about that, too)
Summary: "Well, it's not for us; not yet. But can't be far now..."

If it's a clone it's probably a Goophone note3 knockoff. An incredibly impressive piece of modern day Chinese bootlegging. Though from what I know about the device it operates on GSM frequencies we simply do not have in the US...I'm assuming you are in the US, being in the T-Mobile N3 forum and all. They also lack LTE entirely.
$179.99 last I checked.
For your sake I hope not. However, with all the evidence I've seen so far it likely is. Apparently they are very difficult to tell apart, even to the trained eye...especially if they aren't powered up and/or you've never used a real N3 The reviews I've seen for them drive this point home repeatedly.
Good luck, man.
