Will the I337 be able to have AWS HSPA unlocked (like the Note 2 and S3) so that us roamers from Canada can have access to Tmobile HSPA in addition to ATT?

Does anyone here know for sure whether the hardware is similar to T-Mobile's Samsung Galaxy S4?
Does it come unlocked? If not, can I easily unlock it and use it on either Rogers' or Telus' LTE network?
Are there any carrier branding/software on Mobilicity or Wind's SGS4?
Is the bootloader unlocked for the phone?
Thanks!
No one here knows?
Help?
I know the AT&T note 2 and att galaxy s4 were unlocked to utilize tmobile's aws bands. I checked the specs of the AT&T note3 and it appears that technically that it can access those tmobile aws bands. Can somebody let me know if I buy an AT&T note 3, will I for certain in the future be able to access those tmobile aws bands if I install the correct baseband? Are there people working on this unlock?
I currently have the AT&T variant of the galaxy s5 and I would like to get replacement that I can root, I know that most all variants are compatible on the gsm side but I would only want one that would be compatible with LTE on AT&T of course as well. Could someone please let me know the variants that would work on the LTE network for AT&T please. Thanks in advance!!

I suggest T-Mobile's variant, which is what I use on AT&T's LTE network with no problems.
Hey all,
I have tried searching the internet exhaustively to find an answer to this question, but cant seen to get an answer.
I am currently a T-Mobile user, but am thinking of switching over to Verizon for better coverage while traveling in the US. I would like to purchase a used note 3, and don't know which of the variants is going to be best for me. I know that there are many variants including n900t, n900v, n900a, n9000, and n9005.
I have found a pretty good comparison of the frequencies here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-3/313564-unlocked-t-mobile-version-most-inter-operable-other-networks.html.
But this does not answer my question. I understand that if I get the N900T, it will not have the ability to get the LTE Band 13 700 MHz frequency. But how much of verizons towers operate on this frequency as opposed to the other ones that the N900T can operate on?
In other word, between all of these models, which is the most inter-operable with BOTH T-Mobile and Verizon?
You cannot use a gsm phone on a cdma carrier.
The SM-N900T is a tmobile 4g/LTE GSM phone with an unlocked bootloader.
The SM-N900A is an AT&T 4g/LTE GSM phone with a locked bootloader.
The SM-N9005 is an international 4g/LTE GSM phone with an unlocked bootloader.
The SM-N900 is an international gsm 3g only phone (exynos based) with an unlocked bootloader.
The SM-N900V is a Verizon 4g/LTE CDMA/GSM phone with a LOCKED bootloader. (Same as the SM-N900P but with sprint)
In the US, T-Mobile is a GSM carrier, whereas Verizon is a CDMA carrier that uses gsm for LTE ONLY.
The only model that will work on both Verizon and T-Mobile is the SM-N900V, but you'll have to unlock it, and the bootloader is locked, so no tinkering outside of rooting.
