The Samsung Galaxy Note LTE SHV-E160 was released in Korea in November 2011.
The Samsung Galaxy Note LTE is the device At&t will sell as Galaxy Note LTE I717.
Koreans are upset about it because they can not pay for expensive LTE, so they would prefer the faster Galaxy Note N7000. Samsung refuses to sell the N7000 in Korea because it seems they have a deal with the Korean network providers to sell only the SHV-E160 (to push the sale of expensive LTE contracts).
The correct name of the device is Samsung Galaxy Note LTE SHV-E160.
Because in Korea they have 3 network providers, there are 3 versions, 1 for each of the 3 Korean network providers.
SHV-E160S (SKT network provider)

SHV-E160L (LG U+ network provider)

Samsung already filed the Samsung Galaxy Note LTE with the US FCC on 02 November 2011:

Is the N7000 not available in any way in Korea?

I have only seen the N7000, from limited sellers on gmarket (like Korean eBay). I remember there were all definitely over 1 million won / $900-$1000 / £560-£600.

If you have the AT&T version of the Note, you need to post your question here, in the AT&T Galaxy Note General forum."

If it's showing the same freq's in specs then possibly/probably
Hello there!
I reside in the UAE and recently bought a Note 3 4G LTE SM-9005 (Snapdragon Variant).
I will be moving to Chicago, USA and wanted to know if I will be able to use the 4G. I see that T-Mobile supports 2100MHz, 1900MHz, 1700MHz and 850MHz. The international Note 3, the one which I have supports 800MHz, 850MHz, 900MHz, 1800MHz, 2100MHz and 2600MHz. Seeing that I support one band, will 4G work on T-Mobile? Also, will 3G work? And if so, will the dual 3G work where I get 2 streams of 21MBPS?
If not on T-Mobile, will any other carriers work?
Thanks in advanced, Zain.
PS. I have read other forms but seem to get two answers, some say it will work and some say it won't. Just wanted some clarification.

I use my SM-N900W8 in Hong Kong and it is nearly, if not exactly alike as the SM-N900T. I can say that even in HK I get 4 - 5 bars of LTE, and worst case scenario I get 3 bars of 3G/H+
I also used an N9105 - Note II LTE, with the exact same bands as the SM-N9005 (the one you have), but the problem was that I couldn't get enough bars as my N900W8 did. The phone got really hot when it searched for reception (as it was usually at 2-3 bars), whilst at the same spot, I would get 4-5 on my N900W8. So to answer your question, yes, they should work, except your reception would be lower than an American banded phone.

Snapdragon is not the International version, your title is confusing. International version is Exynos and has no US LTE.

Actually, international is N9005, Snapdragon.
The Exynos edition is only being sold in select areas. Most people here use Snapdragon as it is easier to get, but most N900s are found in India. Hong Kong would only sell international phones, unlocked, and they are all N9005.
Regardless. If you have the 9005, you have the Snapdragon, and it should come with LTE, but may not contain the right bands for the US as Neo said above.

Region doesn't matter in fact I got my device from France, but had Hong Kong firmware on it. Later to get KitKat I flashed Poland firmware.
as for the bands T mobile mainly uses 1700MHz so you won't get LTE doesn't matter if you change the APN, I tried. You will get HSPA+ which isn't horrible, its enough to watch HQ YouTube videos.
idk about ATT though when I looked it up I remembered it being able to, but now that I look at doesn't look like it can...
I have a unbranded/unlocked SM-N9005 Galaxy Note III in zip code 22202. Is there ANY carrier in the US I can get LTE data with? I've already tried Straight Talk and now T-Mobile monthly plans.
Thanks
Should I just sell this?
I'm looking to upgrade my phone to the Galaxy note 4. I live in Canada and see that there's someone selling an unlocked at&t note 4.
Are there any minuses to buying an AT&T phone and using it in Canada? LTE bands are the same as my carrier (Telus). Will I not get updates or have any other issues?
