Will there be an Australian version of this phone? Wondering wether I should wait for it or the prime or just get a galaxy s2.
if you can use the normal SGS2 there is no point waiting for the Hercules
it really depends which radio bands are supported by your cell phone provider
in my case i need Hercules because the SGS2 does not work

Hi,
does anybody have information about availability of this wonderful querty device in europe?
Considering what Samsung did with the Galaxy in Europe (what a crap!), I would be very upset to not see a GSM version.
Anyway i haven't heard nothing about a GSM version.
What i know is that Samsung did several version of the Galaxy S with different name.
And if I'm not mistaken, in Europe, is suspect that we will only see the Galaxy S, wich i hate.

Ummm, what exactly?
Not sure where I saw it but in one of the reviews of the Epic 4G the author pointed out an empty fully functional SIM card slot next to the memory slot and pondered why it had the SIM slot.
Is it true that the shipping model will actually have that sim slot?
Knowing Sprint, it'll be the same situation we had with the PPC-6700... our phones will have a plastic sticker over an empty cavity where the CSIM slot is supposed to be, then after we've moved on someone will buy up Sprint's remaining stock for a pittance, pay workers to hand-solder CSIM sockets into them, and sell them in some other country for 10x as much money.
If my Epic4G arrives with a real CSIM card in it, I'll be celebrating for a year ;-)
For anyone who doesn't know, CSIM is the latest revision of R-UIM, which is itself a superset of GSM SIM. CSIM is also (an optional?) part of the USIM standard.
Um? Maybe? Its called a Galaxy S Pro. But no, you won't get the Epic 4G in Europe... Europe doesn't use Wimax... or CDMA... so this will be as useful as a phone as an ipod touch. You may get a varient which will look different (probably more like the original Galaxy S as I've seen mockups of that with a keyboard).
Umm if the Epic 4G doesn't get a variant (plz plz same specs) with a GSM module instead of CDMA it would be very stupid of Samsung.
It would make sense to do so since there are several variants and international versions of the Galaxy S, and this is like the head of the Galaxy S family.
But something tells me Samsung will not outs the Epic 4G with a GSM, and I wish to god that I'm wrong OR that Samsung will release it with the exact specs but without the 4G antennae .... which will also be very aweful considering that 4G will be available in the near-future in Australia (and there is proof for it like 3G prices are crashing).
I want my GSM Samsung Epic 4G here in Aust!!!!!
Yea I'm not really sure why people ask if they will get certain phones in Europe. Not that it doesn't happen but certain phones are made exclusive. That's why it's called the epic 4G!
That's why it's different from all the other galaxy s phones. if europe did get this it would be 4gless and just a galaxy s with a keyboard. but i highly doubt because they would of announced this already. would it be cool? sure but i highly doubt. not every phone can be duplicated. it's a reason for every device.
I'd say just give it some time. It should be out.
The Samsung Wave (Bada phone) had a slide out qwerty keyboard about 4-5 months after the candy bar style phone came out.

Noticed this on another site this morning.
I have a 5" streak, and who knows if/when the Samsung Note will hit the states.
Might have to give this one a look. The 4.3" screen looked too small to me, the extra .2" probably won't make much difference, but I'll take another look at it.
I had the Streak too. I want the Note, but its too much for me right now. My Dad is going to get it though....Can't wait to play with his
I already have a SGS II (unlocked UK model) on AT&T's network. So I don't see much point in upgrading to this phone (especially since AT&T's LTE network is still in its infancy). For my next phone I want at least a "retina" type display with LTE... Maybe a SGS III?

galaxy s2 HD has retina display, however it haven't mention anything release about the HD version yet. Damn it i want the HD version not the regular version, so does anyone know if it plan to release the HD version anytime soon or it is going to wait for ics or galaxy nexus to release first
Guys ...clove has their Note in stock Thurs....as does Expansys...by the end of the week.
I think its gonna be a while before carriers get it. Percieved as too risky because of the size.
Novelty item....
The Note is way too big to be used as a phone.
6:40 mark
As for this phone, it probably uses the Qualcomm chip so no thanks.
To each...........his own.
look forward to galaxy s2 HD

The Skyrocket uses a Qualcomm chip and is directly related to the Celox/Hercules/TSGS2. Unless someone has a burning need for LTE (it's currently available in six cities) or the bigger screen it doesn't seem worth giving up Exynos.
I've already got my note. Ordered from Negri electronics
Sent from my Insanity powered SGS2
Hope this doesn't hurt the resale value of the SGSII international version...

Okay I have a new galaxy tab. I also have the SGS II, which is rooted so I am well aware of the process. I have looked all over these threads and can't seem to find a rom that works for the 4G and wifi tab. I see some that works for 3G. Need some assistance on this before I dive in and root. Thanks.
If you're talking about the sch-i905 (verizon LTE model of the galaxy tab 10.1) the answer is no. There is no CM9 ROM available that has working LTE.
So if you're in need of mobile data using the verizon version of the tab you'll have to just root 3.2 and wait.
I have the T mobile 4G galaxy Tab. I am guessing its the same thing though. Thanks.
No it's not the same thing.
When it comes to differentiating device hardware types on mobile broadband devices one should never rely on the 3g/4g nomenclature to draw model comparisons. Various carriers use the terms generally for marketing purposes. The reality is there are Galaxy Tab 10.1 devices marketed by some carriers as 4g that are LTE and some that are not. I'm not arguing that HSPA+ isn't 4g mind you, but there definitely is a difference between an LTE Galaxy Tab 10.1 and another model that's otherwise marketed as 4g.
Bottom line; look at specific device model numbers, not the 4g nomenclature, your T-Mobile based tablet is most certainly not the SCH-i905 model on which my response was based.
See Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development....search for ics ....
[ROM][KANG]CM9 ICS 10.1 LTE Verizon Preview 01/31/12
Hello,
I'm eyeing down a Galaxy Tab 7.7 but i'm in a fuddle with versions. As far as i can understand, aside from 16/32/whatever HDD versions, there are a few main ones:
-P6800 which is the international designation for the WiFi/3G version and is more expensive.
-P6810 which is the international designation for just the WiFi version and is cheaper.
-GT6800/GT6810 which i have no ideea what's different about it from the P's. Is it still just a P6800 just named GT-P6800/GT-6800 on some sites?
I so wish end-clients would have more easy access to model numbers and options instead of just blindly buying "a Galaxy Tab 7.7".
There is no difference as far as I know from the P vs GT. there is also the LTE version of the 7.7 which has 3G and wifi as well.
If you need 3G then get that model if you will not need 3g, wifi model is fine, that is the one I got and happy with it apart from honeycomb.
True, and LTE which is Verizon's version afaik but which is not something i'd want to pursue, being an EU guy.
But yes, 3G is a must for me.
The Verizon SCH-i815 variant does have the IR blaster.
The gt-p6800 no ir but I did get 32gig.

You should read this thread.
I went with the International version for several reasons, some of which may not apply in your case:
1. It was cheaper.
2. It has the FM radio, whereas U.S. versions do not.
3. I am using AT&T as my carrier via Straight Talk, which does not have LTE support, so while having an LTE model may result in potentially higher resale down the line, it offers no immediate benefits to me personally.
International.
$579 today.
HSPA+ is fast enough for Netflix HD streaming, which is fast enough for me. LTE is neat, but drains battery and you are at AT&T's mercy for updates. No thanks.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Samsung...nlocked-Android-Smartphone-/321014760193?var=
so, its tru that if i use a LTE phone, in an area where there is no LTE coverage, the batery drains faster?
also, i'm from mexico, and also i have a prepaid plan, and no carrier has LTE,
i has has used AT&T phones, (galaxy s2 skyrocket, the Galaxy note i717), but now, i'm not sure about geting the att note 2, or
the international....
and what about the T-mobile version? its good enough?
Go with the international one. No LTE means longer battery. No AT&T bloatware crap. FM radio. And it's cheaper.

+1 For all of the above. International version also receives updates from Samsung before the AT&T Note 2.
