Hello I have Samsung Galaxy Note N7000. I love this phone and the big home button that it provides. Since this phone can not run on the US T-Mobile network at 4G speed I was wondering if anyone knows if my crazy idea will work.
Some time later in the future when it will be posible to buy the mainboard from US I717 phone, I would like to buy it and replace it into the international model. Any Idea if this will work?
Any other suggestions?
Anyone able to get their international n7000 working at 4G on US network?
It a hardware and software problem, why not just trade it for an Att note?

perhaps the poster as he said likes the big Home Button (Physical) on the International one.. it might be his deciding factor in just replacing the motherboard (to the ATT version) and yet still retaining the home button factor on the International version.
My guess is it's not going to work. You'll be running into trouble with the 4 capacitive buttons vs. the mix of capacitive and hardware buttons.
Now just maybe the motherboards are generic and have the option to connect 4 capacitive or 2 capacitive and 1 hardware button with the AT&T version having some added hardware for the 4G implementation but I wouldn't get my hopes up.
Yes I really enjoy the Big home button it feels so natural for this device, I really wish to keep it, but I should probably exchange it for the AT&T one
So wish that it would work. Oh well may be some day when I'm rich I'll try to build the phone like that just to see if it would work from separate parts

Which one is better? I know they are pretty much the same phone with slight differences.
Vibrant
-Has t-mobile stuff preloaded
-has all four android buttons
Galaxy
-has been rooted
-doesn't have all four buttons
Also what are some other differences?

front facing camera
and the ability to use wifi hotspot i believe.
althought im hoping that last one will just be an apk that we can install similar to gaining the functionality on the hd2. i hope so anyways
Also no T-Mobile branding on the face of the phone.
Plus, I really much prefer the large button on the Galaxy S, than the 4 cluttered buttons on most Android phones.
It's quite possible that Vibrant will be cheaper than the galaxy s. That's a big feature for the Vibrant.
not sure the point of the comparison when the galaxy S won't work on the Tmo network

I think it's more like $150-$200 difference without a contract.
With the Galaxy S you get a front-facing camera, as well as an unlocked phone without carrier logos plastered on the front - which alone might be worth it to many.
I also much prefer the large middle button on the Galaxy S, than the 4-button array on the carrier phones.
I understand the front facing camera and I much prefer the design of the I9000 but if I buy Captivate it will be with 2yr contract and I don't know if it is enough to justify the extra cash especially if I cannot upgrade to iPhone 4 and sell for profit.
If my Samsung Captivate is rooted the software on both devices will be the same correct?

Do you live in an area with 1900mhz 3g coverage? If not, you will be able to use only edge with the i9000.
I bought the SGS for AT&T because of the front camera, no AT&T tampering, and I prefer the SGS look over the Captivate. Also, I don't live anywhere near 3g, so I'm okay with just edge. But it did cost me an arm and a leg.
Is there a map where I can see 850 mhz v 1900 mhz I found one but it is old
A map would be great.
In my part of Los Angeles, I get 3G/H on AT&T probably 70% of the time, the rest is E.
well I decided to purchase the Samsung Captivate, but would still like a map in case I decide to switch within 30 days
It might also be possible for you to get the dumb phone data plan if you have an international version of the Galaxy S because AT&T probably wouldn't have their IMEI numbers... But then again, I'm not 100% sure on how they do their sweeps so dont quote me on this
Afaik you won't be able to use custom roms, becouse of diffrences that captivate has. So yes its worth to pay more...

where would one buy the unlocked international version?
Does it have all the features that are missing in different versions of this phone? Such as camera flash, front camera etc?
Bell Canada is getting this phone, but it won't have flash. Not sure what other differences it will have.

Is there a version of this phone that has all the features? Sounds like the Bell Canada one will be the same as the international one.
Most importantly, the international model is 900/2100 mhz only while at&t is 850/2100 mhz. So big difference in radios

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

After selling 1 million Galaxy Note globally, Samsung is going to launch it in United States. A leaked image of AT&T’s version of Note is surface over web. The device to come with NFC and LTE...........

Lol..4 capacitive button?? Look same like htc to me..must be snapdragon chip rumors were talking about..lol..
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
At least it is not an iphone. The lte feature will be useless for most until iphone lte makes its ulgy apperance.
I am so glad I got mine before AT&T gets a hold of it and bloats it up and put LTE on it and kills the great battery life. No thanks! I will stick with HSPA+, better battery life, no bloat, and timely updates. I have my skyrocket for LTE and NFC etc. One upside will be that there will be more cases etc to choose from once it launches here in the USA.
I am sure AT&T will announce it at CES coming up.
I'm on AT&T and care not. Love my international version. I just hope AT&T doesn't cook up some crappy new plan for the Note since the average consumer will closely identify it with a tablet (because of screen size and stylus). That may impact us users on our current data plan...
That's a render, not a real image. It was on Android Central yesterday.

True, but probably accurate. They have to stick their logo on it and cram the Samsung name in between the screen and capacitive buttons like they did the skyrocket.

I prefer the 4 capacitive buttons like the Nexus S, more functional and I hate the home button in the international version. It also gets NFC.
But if the snapdragon rumors are true, then I definitely would keep my international version over US version.
Frankly, I find the physical home button fugly as hell. But to each their own!

I feel it is the opposite. Part of the reason there are so many Iphone accessories, is that there is only one Physical version.
DO NOT WANT.
Why would they mangle a beautiful device like that? I hate capacitive buttons. Besides, with the S-pen gesture recognition, they aren't even necessary. They're just there to be accidentally pressed when you're trying to hold the thing in landscape.
Same here. By the time at&t gets enough LTE penetration in the USA market, the Note 3 or 4 will be out LOL.
I prefer a manufacturer device, than a carrier branded device. Less bloat & crippling.

Couldn't agree with you more. This device's attractiveness comes with the ability to take notes and the more obstructions the less attractive that beautiful option becomes.
seepage:
If they do not change the dimensions of the Note, you do not think there will be more accessories available here in the US for it? What does a home button versus capacitive buttons have to do with cases?

Sadly, he euro note has no nfc chip. Lucky you guys lol im forced to get the att note, but at least its better then ny infuse. I hope someone can port cm9 over to the att note, as there should be very little differences inbetween other then lte and nfc.
I really hope tmobile get this phone
Is it worth it to wait for the att version or just try to get the international version now?

It's really up to you but you'll be paying a premium getting the international unlocked version of the phone. I payed 649$ on Amazon. But it won't have the carrier bloatware, if you get the UK version you won't have LTE which can be a plus depending on your coverage area and if you don't mind having a lowered battery life. There is also the processor which is different the international version has the exynos which is a lot better than the snapdragon processor going to be put in the US release. To each his own in the end but I'm glad that I got the international version, best phone I've ever owned period and I will continue to use it until the next version comes out. I'll most likely import that too hahaha
From looking at the radio specs for both the SM-N910A and SM-N910T, it appears that the 910T is capable of operating on the AT&T network equally as well as the 910A. Meaning, that the 910T's radio covers all the bands the 910A does, and a little bit more. Is my reasoning sound?
Thanks for the help people. I really appreciate it.
Yes, the N910T will work on AT&T. I have been using my N910T on AT&T for 6 months with no issues. I get a better signal with my Note 4 than I got with my AT&T Note 3. You will need to sim unlock it if it isn't already unlocked. You can get a code for $30 from cellunlocker.net.
Thanks for the reply

Thanks for the reply! Glad to hear my analysis was correct. I went ahead and took the plunge on the 12th and bought a used N910T that was already sim unlocked, thus the lateness in my reply as I've been monkeying around with the phone and not paying much attention to my email.
I miss the GUI simplicity of CM11 M12 that I was running on my S4. I am also annoyed that they decided to replace the hardware (built-in software?) menu button with whatever the history button is called. I find myself hitting the history button quite a bit out of long habit of the menu button being in its place. I really think I'm going to have to see if I can do something about changing that button's functionality as I'm quite happy with a double-click of the true hardware button presenting the history.
Other than these trivial bits I'm happy with the phone, and hope I don't get a serious case of Note 5 envy when it comes out. Won't happen if they decide to continue the S6 design changes with the Note 5 (non-replaceable battery and lack of microSD card).
Again, thanks for the info.
Smart move as the N910A is a piece of **** and can't be rom-ed or rooted.
