..... and bought a N7100. Because I get crappy battery life even with HSDPA+ only compared to N7100. I don't have LTE in my area, and LTE bands on my N7105 are not compatible with LTE bands in USA where I will be moving to very soon...
Another reason is there are more roms and tweaks in the forum for N7100...

If he uses mobile data only for email checking, browsing, 3g is enough. I get about 8mbps with 3g and for me it is enough. + as he mentioned more mods, roms and better battery life for n7100. Good choice

i'm looking for the Galaxy Note 4G LTE + NFC Version, when will it be released ? and where first ?
thanks guys
There is no release for that. LTE version will be released in Korea later this year and no NFC for Galaxy Note.

The SGS2 is 4G. Can you explain why the US carriers wouldn't have a 4G version of the Note?
I don't see that as realistic.

Let's put it this way. There has not been a LTE Galaxy note pass through the FCC. The only one that has, comes with hspa on ATT frequencies with no LTE. This means that it will be a minimum of a couple months if ever, that there is a LTE version of the Galaxy note that will work on the US LTE (Verizon or ATT) frequencies. It will have to pass through the FCC and then the cats out of the bag.

Well, it depends where you are. In Louisville, ATT is the slowest of the major carriers at around 3.5 mbps down and Verizon is the fastest with LTE pushing 12 mbps down.
I would go into an ATT store where you are and run the speedtest app on a phone labeled 4g (hspa+) and see what you get.
On 3rd Nov Samsung Galaxy Note London show they said there will be two version of Galaxy Note: LET and HSPA+. So, you have to choose one from them and there is no combination of LET/HSPA+ on a single phone. And, they never talk about NFC anywhere.
siamchen,
About your comment; I think it was a bit confusing comment on the London launch. It was stated that it was either a HSPA+ or LTE - but will both version have HSPA (the slow 3g)? I can't find that information anywhere. Anyone know?

Hey guys,
today i saw that the S3 for germany will not support LTE.... i really dont get it.. why the hell is samsung doing this ? its completly nonsense... On every other location they will ship a LTE version.. Of course Germany does not have a complete support for LTE, but it is growing very fast.
It really sucks to have many different types of the S3 like the Samsung Galaxy S, Vibrant, Bell and so on.... Does someone know if they are only 2 different types or more ?
They cant be serious, and of course, the want for the S3 with LTE around 600€ and without the same price....
I really hope, that they think again about this decision and ship every S3 with, wether the country supports LTE or not...
What do you guys think about that ?
I won't miss it as much as many will becoz LTE isn't really supported here in Germany as in e.g. the USA...
(Dafür müsste ich zu Vodafone oder so mit Knebelvertrag )

Hmm you are right mate. But the problem is that many devs come from London, USA and other countrys where LTE is supported so they get other device and our device won't support the roms they develop.. that will be horrible :/
I think as long as there aren't more phones with LTE, providers won't support it more..
I am from austria and also a bit upset that there won't be an LTE version because at least in vienna LTE is already growing.

No, we will get the same international device. We won't just be able to use LTE because it's set to the wrong frequecies and cannot be changed as far as I know.
Same with the iPad 3.
Does LTE really have speeds and the data plans to make it worth it over HSPA+? I mean I download hella fast on Three over here in the UK and it has Unlimited data. I've never thought the internet on the phone was too slow, it's faster than my mates broadband and I can stream BBC iPlayer desktop site and Netflix just fine.
I could just imagine coverage being crap as it's just been adopted and if your companies are like what they are here in the UK they'll give you 500mb which you'll hit the limit within 5 mins.

No.
We will get the version that was demoed a week ago with the quad-core exynos, that version will not support "4G", and not only because of frequency bands but because the "4G"(3G-LTE) being rolled out in Europe is not "true" 4G like in the US.
The US version will probably get the Snapdragon S4 as that is currently the best SoC out there that has 4G-LTE built-in, unless Samsung actually has a Exynos SoC with 4G-LTE.
But if they start rolling out 4G-LTE in Europe then frequency bands may also be an issue.

Yes and no.
The so called 4G (LTE) in Europe is nothing more than HSPA+ and it's basically only an enhanced version of 3G. Most people are calling it 3.5G+ but it's capable of delivering "true" 4G lte speed. America's providers Sprint/Verizon/AT&T are providing the real 4G technology which the S3 won't be able to achieve due to different frequencies. But from what I know T-Mobile and AT&T are also providing HSPA+ speed as some providers in Europe.
That's completely nonsense that Germany won't get the international version which does indeed supports HSPA+. But the other question would be if your provider do offer it.

LTE SGS3 which will be released this summer in america will feature a completely different chipset because exynos is not capable for these frequencies.

Why are people still spreading this nonsense, i.e. that there is no "true" LTE in Europe?
Germany does have "true" LTE, the same as is used in the U.S. (but on different bands). Deutsche Telekom is offering up to 100 Mbit/s in their tariffs.
And the network isn't as small as some people make it out to be (and fast growing):
t-mobile.de/funkversorgung/inland/
vodafone.de/privat/hilfe-support/netzabdeckung.html
(I can't post links yet, you have to copy&paste them)
It's true that they offer 42 Mbit/s HSPA+ - but they also have LTE on top of that.

It's funny you say "true" 4g speeds, no network on this planet offers "true" 4g speeds.
No American carrier even gets upto a tenth of what true 4g is.
The LTE out now is 3.9G and carriers don't even offer that fully.

this is directed more at the OP than anything, but I own both versions of the phone and have access to LTE networks that regularly get 40-50 mb/s down. In day to day use yes it's faster, but when I use the s4 stateside version browsing the internet literally chunks my battery down by 20 percent points over 20-30 minutes. Streaming video is even more of a joke you might get 2 hours before the phone dies. the HSPA speeds are more than enough for me and I get more than double the battery life just by not using LTE networks. Hope this helps, you shouldn't feel like you're getting ripped off both versions of the phone are good, but I prefer the international version as well as most of the community would agree.
News has it that both Deutsche Telekom and Vodafone will be offering the Galaxy S3 LTE starting mid-october. It will have a quad-core, like the UMTS version.
heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Samsungs-Galaxy-S3-LTE-kommt-nach-Deutschland-1675044.html
Same in the UK man... While LTE will be rolled out this and next year, I've already bought my S3, so I don't have the correct chip... which kinda annoys me! But even if I had the South Korean or US version, the frequencies are different. Sadly, there are no definitive standards for this stuff, so each country, and even each network just pics whatever works for them. Kinda sux!
To add insult to injury though, I can't even get DC-HSPA! Every network in the UK are doing it EXCEPT Vodafone. Not sure why, but they won't do it. My S3 supports it and all, but Voda are being annoying.
Ahh well, in another 2 years I'll have a 4G phone I guess
The German and the Korean Version might be the same, if I'm not mistaken, since Germany needs 800/1800/2600 and Korea 800/1800. From what I've heard the UK will start off with re-farmed 1800 and later add 800/2600, so they would likely be compatible. Not entirely sure.

On the Samsung UK website, for the S3, it lists the data speed spec as HSPA+21 , which is not DC-HSPA. Does that mean there needs to be a radio update or something before these speeds can be used, or Samsung's website is wrong....?
Find it here...
The story about the fighting twins frightens me, is that their xoom for sale?
US buyers: I'd think twice about buying this as it's an MZ601 UMTS 3G model...this means that the software is created and updated by Motorola and is not the stock Honeycomb firmware from Google that you find on the US WiFi and Verizon 3/4G models.
That said, if you're OK with flashing custom ROMs on it or waiting for Motorola to eventually upgrade it to their own version of ICS, then this is a steal. Plus, you can use it on AT&T or T-Mobile in the USA.

Specs say: GSM 850/900/1800/1900
Would that then run on TMob's HSPA+ ( since the 1900 band is the same ( http://goo.gl/JQjoz )? Or only Edge?

Oh good point...it looks like it would only support AT&T as it's missing 1700 and appears to be missing 2100 (though that may be an oversight).

Well, that's the question. Googling turns up some unlocked GSM iPhone users suddenly getting 3G speeds when it should be Edge only.
But I don't know if that was just testing (as the articles are 5 months old) or if the 1900 band now has real 3G speeds, not just their 1700/2100 combined like before.
Nice! Just bought the WiFi only version for $239
Time to start researching ROMs!

For those who want to grab a Korean version of the SGS III, you might be in luck!!
http://vr-zone.com/articles/samsung...ipset-shows-up-in-korean-galaxy-s3/16442.html
Developed in collaboration with AP, the 'CMC221S' LTE baseband will allow network subscribers of local telcos SK Telecom and KT to enjoy high speed data connectivity. The chip supports 2G, GSM, 3G, WCDMA, 4G, and LTE, which technically makes it marketable to almost every country in the world. Another Galaxy S3 SKU for LG U+ gets an additional chip for the 2G CDMA2000 that is also serviced by other companies like Verizon Wireless.

It is called being a Troll......
Korean LTE uses different bands than in the US so it's not compatible here.
It's also a bit thicker (killing some accessories/cases use). And will have little to no homebrew dev support.
For me, part of the reason I got the SGS3 International and not US variants was for the dev support.

There seems to already be more development for the Korean version as far as ROMs go.
Already custom ROMs out for the 3G and LTE versions, as well as rooting ROMs.
is it possible to change the antenna on the sgs3 to make it compatible with tmo's lte?
Are the antenas in the back coverpiece? If so, I'd imagine it's possible.
Pretty sure it has more to do with what bandwidth the radio chip will support. TMO decided to go with an LTE deployment that the S3 can't/won't broadcast & receive on.

haha they say there are no dumb questions but...
The AT&T version has support for LTE in the AWS band, technically making it compatible with T-Mobile's future LTE. However, AWS HSPA+ support is either disabled or impossible, so you'd be stuck on 2G for the time being, except in the areas where PCS refarming has already begun. I'm also not sure that the LTE radio is unlocked for anything but AT&T, even with another SIM, but who knows.
