[Q] ATT i317 vs. Bell i317M

I am looking for a Note 2 to work with Bell Mobility in Canada.
From a spec comparison the i317 and i317M (Bell/Telus) are the same in terms of frequency, 2G 3G and LTE.
1. Can I use an unlocked ATT on Bell? What would be the problem/limitations?
2. What is the "M" anyway? I had a i9000M and it seems to be a different modem? But what modem, what will it affect?
Bottom line: if an ATT i317 will work fine with my Bell, I'd rather get an ATT phone. Looking into the future, an i317 will have more custom ROM support than an i317M.
Thanks.

1. Yes
2. The m just signifies that it's the Canadian model

Again I want to raise poll to rename thread to

Or

Follow up question:
1. If the m simply denotes a canadian model with no other difference, why is rogers note 2 an i317 ans not i317m?
2. Do you think the i317m will need to be flashed differently than the i317? I know that my i9000m needs to be flashed somewhat differently than the i9000.

not sure how to change title or poll.
I clicked edit, and I am able to change the content, but the title is fixed.
Happy to do it if I can be shown how.
Meanwhile, does anyone care to answer my questions?
Thanks.

I'd guess that the difference is due to bilingual labels, licences, documentation, packaging, software(?), etc. The FCC ID's are the same (and I am guessing that the AT&T Note II's IMEI/sn label doesn't have an Industry Canada ID).

Can someone show me how to find the FCC ID's for i317 and i317M?
what does it mean when 2 devices have the same FCC ID? Does it mean that the hardware is identical?

FCC ID is found under the battery
My Bell Note II is: A3LSGHI317

For a user, its same. No difference at all.
Just at internal documents its different, as Canadian model also supports French as official language.

This isn't necessarily true. I had an HTC Desire Z, it's American counterpart was the G2. The only hardware difference was the 3G radios, and they share a single development community
Our Note II should be identical hardware wise so we should have identical rom support

my rogers one is i317m not i317

Hi,
I also want to replace my I9000M by a i317/i317M.
Did you finally buy an AT&T phone?
Are you satified?
Did you have to flash a "Bell" modem in it?
Regards,

Flashing ATT Note 2 ROM/Kernel on Tmobile Note 2

I have an unlocked rooted Tmobile Note 2 which I am going to use on the ATT network.
Question: Can I flash an ATT Note 2 Rom/Kernel/Modem on my Tmobile branded Note 2?
Thanks

There's a few reports in this and in the general discussion section where people say they've successively flashed an AT&T rom to their T-Mobile note2, but you'll have to use the proper modem and kernel for your T-Mobile.

[Q] VERIZON Note 2? is this the right forum?

Color me stupid, but i can't tell what model the Verizon phone is. All it says is model no. SCH-1605? Is this right place? Are there other forums, etc?

This is the international Note II forum, the Verizon forum is actually labelled 'Verizon Galaxy Note II'.

Galaxy Note 4 Root on Verizon?

I've seen a thread about the note 4 for at&t but nothing for Verizon. Are they similar, and will the same root crack both carrier devices? Where can I find the latest root process?
