I just got the tmobile version of this phone today through work to try out for a couple of months. If there is anything I can check out on it to get you guys more info let me know.
Pictures?make a video?
please please post benchmark, specs, list of apps, and photos
thanks in advance
EDIT: also, run a voodoo report!

Benchmarks, battery life, and usability. My only question is how does the S4 perform vs Exynos in the GS3 and whether there is any improvement over battery life/usability w/ the chipset and extra ram. I would trade raw power for better battery and potentially better app performance.
Do you work for Tmobile or something? How is it that you got to test one out? And is this the U.S. version? I would be interested to know if the U.S. versions really do have 2gb of ram. And also if it also has the Wolfson audio DAC like the international version.

Benchmarks of all kinds.
Also, how much RAM is actually available after the Adreno takes up some of it's ram. Can you give a screenshot?
Amazing... can you run benchmarks... how fluid is it?

Sweeet, lucky! Questions:
- what color is yours?
- is the only T-Mob branding on the back cover?
- how's the battery?
- can you test out some graphic intense games, how do they run?
- does the pop-out video function run smoothly while multi-tasking?
- how many apps can you open up before things noticeably get laggy?
So excited for the US launch!
If the T-Mobile Galaxy S III is carrier unlocked can you test to see if this works with the other major GSM provider like AT&T for 3G/HSPA+?
Earlier it was reported that from the Engadget & The Verge that FCC report had the T-Mo version capable of running both T-Mobile and 1900 band of AT&T.
Thanks in advance!
Can you help me get one? lulz.
Do you have the firmware in TAR format?
I need it badly. I have the same unit as yours.
If you can even give me the stock kernel, it would help to start.
May be my problem is the kernel....

HSUPA speeds are likely crippled, too.
And yeah, the T-Mobile version will have the best theoretical download speeds, but the worst performance, especially graphics.
It'll also use its very own totally-unique-won't-work-with-anything else firmware...it's a one-off, almost an orphan, so don't expect much community support for it.
hehe, bought the UK version or "unlocked" like new for $450.... thanks foe the replies guys, BTW the CPU is 1.2 so it's the same speed, no speed bump..
Is there a dump of the 4G ROM yet?
It would be nice to have a true US English dialer for example that doesn't say 'Favourites', etc.

Ughhh called my local att retail store and I quote it was supposed to launch, but its been delayed end quote. Dialed 611 the rep could only point me to the att site to sign up for email notification when it's available, which I have done weeks ago. Any one know why the delay?

Speak for yourself on the screen. 4.5" is too big for me. That's why I have a tablet. As for the LED, my last two devices haven't had it so I'm kind of used to it being gone. Certainly not a deal breaker either way.

I'd actually say that the biggest advantage the Sprint version has is the bigger battery (1800mAh). Battery life with huge screens is my #1 concern. Also is using NoLED app for the Att version really that bad?
As promised, I said I would make a video about these two devices on a couple of threads recently... so here it is.

Two differences in hardware for example:
Atrix supports more 3G frequencies (i.e 900mhz, which the Atrix 4G does not)
If you wish to flash alternate roms you need a ram fix.
Atrix 4G radios aren't fully compatable with the Atrix and visa versa (3G signal level reported incorrectly)
Sigh. So no they are not, hence the reason behind the video.
I've looked at some of your recent posts, you are clearly spamming so please unless you have some constructive feedback then please do not post again.
Interesting video. Hadn't really thought about it too much before
The TTY modes in the US are to support people who are hard of hearing. Not sure exactly how it works, but I believe it routes all calls through a center that does text->speach conversion.
I like that new battery cover on your European ATRIX.. Seems like they ditched the MOTOBLUR branding on it.

Did you watch the video?
The phone isn't true 4G, its just a US term for HSPA+. We have HSPA+ here in the UK, but we don't call it 4G. One company tried that and got slapped down big time for it.
As regards the rubber backing, I was very surprised to find that when I got the phone! I know they 3 colours of "rugged" battery doors but didn't realise it was a standard part nowadays! Its very nice, but I have my Incipio feather covering it that I brought for 99c from Radio shack while visiting america!
The 4G and Atrix have the same 14.4 Mbit radio chip. AT&T 4G is indeed the rest of the planet's 3G.
All the differences are firmware (software) based, if you look at the specs for the Qualcomm mdm6200 chip you'll see it can handle all the frequencies, moto is just pandering to carriers with crippled radios.
Look at table 1-2 we are interested in the umts bands, now read the NOTE under the table. Bastards!

I don't have any way to show you guys how to know that difference by hardware, but you can test it by yourself using clemsyn kernel 1.5 ELITE, Elite means only if your Atrix has an Elite Tegra that can support the kernel, if your phone does not boot or freezes then your Atrix has not an Elite Tegra.
That's the only way right now that I can find out how to know if it is Elite or not.

The so called "elite" tegra are just chips that can handle overclocking better.
From a technical standpoint, they are the SAME as the rest of the "non-elite" tegras.

If it was firmware I'd have UMTS on 900mhz running on the ATT Atrix by now, its not. Flashing EU radios do not unlock it. They are the same radio yes, but there is clearly two variants of it, one with UMTS 900mhz enabled, one without for AT&T.

I forgot to mention that one, but thats just another "difference" to add into the mix I suppose.
Bit of a shame I've had a troll on the video who can't see past his unlocked bootloader and rom addiction. I guarantee he'll kick off.
Hello members, so i was reading about the GooPhone that is supposedly patented with the Iphone 5 design in China. They are apparently ready to sue apple once the phone is released.
Anyway it led me to a site that has android/windows/blackberry devices.
Now they seem legit, have looked around and seen that there are some reviews, only negative comments are about the long shipping.
My question is, has anyone here ever ordered from this site.
http://www.fastcardtech.com/
I was interested in maybe ordering a device playing with it for a while, then maybe sending to a dev to see if the components would match that of its US counterpart to see if custom ROMS would be able to be installed.
So please read, look, get interested, and chat about the site!!!!

If she really doesn't do anything on it then I would get out for her because 512mb of ram is the same a an IPhone which has fast enough speed for every day tasks not sure if she will need more than 4GB of space but there is a microsd slot up to 32GB so that might help 1GHz processor is beyond overkill for what you said she does so sure why not!

It seems that they may not ever make it stateside. They also have IMEI problems, so they may work for a week, but after that they seem to start having disconnect problems. Also looks like the GPS will not work, being that it is based in China satelittes will not transmit here.
I almost bought one today, like 3 times, but after more and more digging, I have decided not too.
This seems to be a complete scam. There are a bunch of sites claiming fraudulent accounts among the site as well.

Upon searching the fastcardtech site brands devices to companies that dont actually have these devices. For instance, I have found the HDC (china phone maker) and they list their products, then you reference the FTC site and there are thousand of HDC branded devices that are not actually HDC brand!

Well, the 8GB N4 is your best cheapest option at $320ish after tax and shipping.
Otherwise, on T-Mobile I'd try to pick up a used T-Mobile Galaxy S2 or HTC One S. You should be able to get one for $200-250 and they should do what you want. The Galaxy Nexus could also be an option but it might be harder to get one for under $250. That said, it has a less capable CPU/GPU than the other two(the OneS has the best one), but a bigger and arguably better screen and obviously the best dev support and upgrade path. None of them will impress you with their batteries though. That's the price of these 4.3+ screens. You'll have to get a huge aftermarket battery to get around it.

Lol just though it was kinda funny and random.
Anyways I think a good phone would be the Motorola Atrix 2 (sells new at $250 now). Since you would be on tmobile it doesn't have access to their older 4G (1900 MHz band) networks but T-Mobile has rapidly refarmed their spectrum to allow for the 1700 MHz that the Atrix 2 is capable of

Obviously we are all waiting for the Note 4, yet it's Pricey.
Now comes the hard question.
Which one to buy ? and
Which will the Dev support ? (Future Proofing)
N910C or N910S
Snapdragon over Exynos
We all saw it in the S4 between the 9505 and 9500 so I don't want to get stuck in the same loop.
Please advise at the earliest since all the articles on the Web refer to Chip variants and differences yet no one has a solid answer to which will be supported and would be considered as a real investment. I hear the Exynos is benchmarked with 40K therefore exceeding our favorite Snapdragon chip !?
That makes it even worse to decide

Tough to say, All of the USA market will have snapdragon, as will many other countries. That means there will be a greater percentage of "market share" of the S805 version with a better chance of having dev support on it.
Snapdragon
This is a million dollar question right here...

thats great to hear!
u planning on doing any dev work on this thing, or just gonna enjoy it?
I can't decide between the white or the black myself; I'd get the gold one just to be different, but, it wont be out for awhile, so dont want to wait for it..
As soon as i have the files i plan on working on recovery and if I get bored enough maybe more.

hahaha that's so true. Snap will have better dev support and GPU while the exynos MIGHT be 64bit enabled anytime soon and is definitely faster, but still not sure of how faster in daily use. Now it's up to you and wait for more information to come. For now, that's about it.

It was wishful thinking... If anyone could find a way to get a recovery on att, It would be you...

you give me far too much credit, i port recoveries and do minor things. bootloader exploits are beyond my scope of even understanding how many actually work.
The Exynos model should be faster, better on battery, and possibly offer 64-bit down the road. I'm going with that one.
