International will always have more development. Your problem though is that the international Note will only achieve EDGE speeds on TMobile.

Ditto.
The only way you are going to experience better speeds would be on ATT's network.

If you're on T-Mo, buy a GNex (has pentaband HSPA+)
If you REALLY want a Note - time to switch carriers. International unlocked Note + Straight Talk BYOD SIM is your best bet.

hmm im planning to only use wifi, so it shouldnt worry me so much then?

international version has more user if you compare it to at&t version, more user means more dev, and the only limitation is at&t support LTE HSDPA+, but international version no..

In my honest opinion the international.
Because much faster processor and gpu.

If some people think there is lag on the Note with the 1.4Ghz Exynos they'll really think it lags with the 1.5Ghz Snapdragon.

Which means it uses Qualcomm S3 which means will likely support T-Mobile band. Great.

I doubt it'll be a problem if you root and get rid of the bloats and after developers get rid of Carrier IQ.

Unless your in an LTE market that this Korean Note will work on and you have an Unlimited data plan there's no reason to get it. The 1.5Ghz Snapdragon is slower than the 1.4Ghz Exynos in the current non-LTE Note. It's slower than the 1.2Ghz Exynos in the SGS2 and people have commented on how the AT&T Samsung Galaxy Skyrocket which also uses the 1.5Ghz Snapdragon isn't as snappy as the SGS2.
Hold on you know what we should try first, the modem file. Lol

Cute Touche' Does anyone Know a Korean a website in English they have run into for ordering from the USA
As far as the snapdragon being slow, remember I have tried both chips and unless you are a gamer it is not that noticeable of an issue especially, when new roms start rolling out.
Has anybody found out what bands this new Galaxy Note from Korea will support I can't find anything.
I heard all bands, 1700 aswell.

Galaxy Note on Simple Mobile.

I did a search and found nothing on the GT Note using simple Mobile.
Has anyone tried this as yet, and can you tell us what the speeds are like so far.
And what package did you go with.
Looks like they use T-Mobile's network, which means nothing over EDGE speeds.
I'm running one of the AT&T MVNOs on a trial basis and so far I have not been disappointed. I am loathe to give up my T-Mobile plan but unless there's a breakthrough in getting 1700/2100 AWS working on this thing I might have to make the move permanently.
AT&T GoPhone offers unlimited everything for $50 a month pay-as-you-go fyi.

Go phone sim cards are locked to the phone now. Unless you can convince AT&T to give you a new unlocked one it doesn't work.

You can flash a T-Mobile compatible modem on the AT&T version, if you're not aware.

You need Straight Talk with the AT&T sim.

What about this? As long as you aren't using any device which has ever been AT&T branded in any way shape or form (like an unlocked Note), this should work just fine!

Had anyone got the note to work on T-Mobile 3G or 4G

I'm planning on buying a Note to use on T-Mobile but I wanna know If it'll get TMOS 3G or 4G. Yes I know that's it's coming to TMO but no one knows when. I hate how slow edge is an I'm always on 52mbps+ wifi but I like to have fast speeds on the go also. I read on Twitter about flashing a T-Mobile modem but idk if that's stable or what. Any help?

Unfortantaly no =( but on the up side a few people are working on it in this thread here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1512298
Some places T-Mobile does support 3G on the 1900 band but right now only a few citys have it up and running. Phoenix is not one of them
I'm in el Paso and even then the 4G isn't that great. But still hate the edge.

Only way is to use another phone as a mobile hotspot...and then use the wifi on the Note. It works, but it's definitely not an ideal situation.
I agree I hope the TMO note comes out before I get my money to get a note

Eww, disgusting Crapdragon processor.
Tmo modem? On twitter? There is none. Dorks are passing off the att one. Do not flash it. It'll mess up your note. In chicago i get mixed 4g and 3g. In the boonies get edge.
When note comes out on tmo, someone will probably extract the radio file and post. Hopefully hardware specs will be the same

The T-Mo note will just be a rebadge AT&T model and will not help us here with the n7000.
The Japanese sc-02c on the other hand has a much better chance of success.

S3 in canada and ROMs

So I'm trying to consider whether I will purchase the International version or the LTE Canadian version...
I know that in terms of the processor's, quite frankly, they are identical for performance, with the LTE having better cores but the International having 4, so this isn't exactly a problem of "which is better"..
What I'm curious about, is how easy/likely are ports of ROMs and Mods going to be from the international version to the LTE version? Because quite frankly even if the Canadian version is outright better I want some dev support.. :/
What do you guys think? Same dilemma as with the HOX intn'l vs LTE ><
I will take LTE speeds and the 2 GB memory...

No yeah they seem awesome and the CPU will perform pretty much identically, but I really like the dev community the HTC Desire Z had and I want something similar :/
There probably wont be many ports of international roms if any at all. Though, if the Canadian and US versions are the same that will certainly bring more to the lte version in the way of development.
I'm getting the international version version for several reasons.

VZW Note 3 LTE-A

I might be picking up a Note 3 today and I was curious if it supports Big Reds upcoming LTE-A network. If I remember correctly it's LTE Band 13. Does anyone know for sure if it is supported? I'm sure this would be good to know for others too.

Yes, it is.
Why does LTE-A matter over regular LTE? Just wondering how exactly that benefits us, the VZW customer.

Lte-a is just faster LTE, hence the a means advanced. Verizon hasnt turned it on yet, but luckily it shouldn't be that much longer because they dont have to modify any current towers to use it.

I read somewhere that when they hook up the LTE-A they may charge extra for it. Could use it also to force people off unlimited too.

I personally have capped data so that wouldn't bother me, but of course that sucks hard for others. I haven't seen anywhere where it says that Verizon will do that. But I wouldn't be surprised.
