Switching Carriers over some launch availability issues? Devices are out there now in pretty decent numveds , Best Buy is selling them over the counter today as well.

I have t-mobile, but if I had att I wouldn't switch just because of handset availability.
If you are out of contract you should weigh the pros and cons of each in terms of coverage in your area, pricing of comparable plans to satisfy your needs, and THEN device selection.
Plus if you wait a lil longer you can maybe get your hands on the red version!
You realise you can get the AT&T GS3 overnighted to you. You just have to call up and ask for one.
I have a new line with the one x and I'm within my 30 days maybe I'll just see if bb has them. I would switch carriers based on horrible service that att has

I wouldn't switch.. far as I know ( and correct me if I'm wrong ) the T-Mobile version of the SGSIII does NOT have LTE !! To me, that would be a waste.

It has badass hspa+ (42mbps) though which can just as fast as lte depending on location. And it doesnt kill battery like lte, so id say the tmo version is a great option..

T-Mobile is cheaper in the long run, and HSPA 41 is faster than any LTE available

LOL, Best Buy is not selling AT&T Galaxy S3's over the counter! I dont know where you have heard that, but you definitely haven't been following either of the 2 Official Best Buy Galaxy S3 threads.
If Best Buy does have them in stock for AT&T, which is a HUGE IF, they are saying they cannot sell them because AT&T has not announced an official release date/launch date. I know, that makes not sense and is a huge lie, but that is what they are saying.
So NO, Best Buy is not selling AT&T Galaxy S3's over the counter.

Yes this guys right. Take a look for yourself:
ATT Galaxy Note Specs
T-Mobile Galaxy S3 Specs
ATT Galaxy S3 Specs
Notice how the Note and the T-Mobile Galaxy S3 have that 1700 Mhz frequency? Thats what T-Mobile broadcasts their 3G/4G spectrum on. If the phone doesnt have those frequencies, then it wont work no matter what you do.

That's different. It is a whole different phone with a whole different SoC.
Let's not say things that we cannot prove.
Don't shoot this guy completely down. It will get T-Mobile 3g/4g as soon as T-Mobile refarms their network.

Yeah, because they live in one of the small parts of the US that uses the 1900mhz band for HSPA. It will not work everywhere else.

Yes, HSPA+ will be fine. But as you said, no LTE.
Guys,
I so want to buy the note 2 like today. However T-Mobile has no coverage in my area. If I buy the phone at full price I can get it unlocked. Am just wondering if T-Mobile note will work on at&t lte Or hspa+.

The phone does support HSPA+ on AT&T out the box since the bands are included. The phone also has T-Mobile LTE frequency as well, but is said to be locked down by software since T-Mobile does not have LTE up and running yet. I believe T-Mobile and AT&T do use the same frequency for LTE. Only way to know if someone unlocks their device and puts in an AT&T sim.
According to AnandTech review it WILL support ATT LTE. So how does a non-Tmobile user unlock this phone??? I want to use on ATT.
From the review...
http://www.anandtech.com/show/6386/samsung-galaxy-note-2-review-t-mobile-/9
One of the most interesting things about the Galaxy Note 2 on T-Mobile is that it literally is the same hardware as the AT&T Note 2 with LTE. Sure, the model number is different, but the T-Mobile Note 2 includes support for LTE bands 17 (which AT&T uses) and 4 (AWS, which AT&T has specced devices out for and T-Mobile has confirmed it will deploy LTE on). This is to my knowledge the first T-Mobile handset with overt LTE support, and thus a solid future-proof purchase if you’re determined to have a T-Mobile handset that will work with the carrier’s upcoming LTE on AWS plans.
In addition, if you unlock the handset there’s no reason it shouldn’t work on AT&T’s LTE network that I can see. I managed to unlock the T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2 but not before leaving the AT&T LTE market in Dallas. It does however work as expected on WCDMA 1900 in my own market on AT&T after unlocking.
Will the Note 2 work on streight talk as well?
I'm curious if the note II would work on att's 3g network. I'm with Sprint atm but I'm constantly roaming due to poor coverage so I'm assuming it won't be long till they nix my contract and paying $100+ for limited data is just ridiculous to me so I was going to go with TMobile but they only have.edge coverage around here no 3g so I was hoping if I went with TMobile I could use AT&T towers and actually have a decently priced plan with real service.

Im in the same boat im going thru the same thing I have both simplemobile/tmo and Att for work and i played with the international version and ofourse it was fine with my Att sim i didnt try my simplemoble/tmo sim at the time but im hearing the tmo version is exactly like the att and international one so imma just use my work phone/att to save some money(I use google voice so it doesnt matter what phone i use same number) and plus im suppose to get a discounted price so lets say i can possible be very happy this weekend!! but imma take the chance all the info i read states it will work with Att hspa+network so well see soon! if nobody tries it before me...
I took the plunge...
I bought the TMOB version

LTE band might just be software locked since T-Mo has yet to get LTE, FCC filings showed LTE capability. YMMV

Most likely your going to need the At&t radio just how At&t note 1 worked on t-mobile 4g by flashing the radio... maybe even a full on rom from at&t version since all the phones now come with the same hardware

Hi,
I'm thinking moving from AT&T to T-Mobile and was wondering if I can keep my unlocked Skyrocket (Galaxy SII), flash a T-Mobile rom,a modem, change the APN and be good to go.
Will I be able to get 4g?
Thanks for your help.

You still have to run a ROM from the skyrocket forum. You can use T-Mo modems or skyrocket modems
I use the T989 on At&t and get better performance with a T-Mo modem

'Uncarrier' plans, remember? There are no free phones anymore (though there are ones with no down payments, but the SGS2 doesn't qualify). Even the absolute cheapest phones must be fully paid for now as shown on their website.
To the OP, I highly recommend getting a new phone. The i777 is good, but it lacks the 1700 band, so you won't have 3G. Choose whatever phone you like, though, personally, I intend to get the HTC One myself as soon as I can.
