Hi, so I understand the differences between the 9500 vs the 9505.
I'm buying another s4 off of contract, so I am looking for the best spec since I am paying full price for the phone.
If I am going to use the phone on the AT&T network (need a phone that utilizes AT&T LTE), (also spend time in Korea so international use would be nice), are these unlocked carrier-free 9505s any different than the AT&T i337?
Is the unlocked version (9505) run more bands than the i337?
TIA.
Just found my answer on Wiki, seems the LTE bands are different.
9505:
800, 850, GSM, 1800 MHz, IMT, IMT-E
vs
i337:
700 MHz (Band 17), AWS, IMT, IMT-E

The I9505 is also the only variant that has FM radio
So does this generally mean that the 9505 will not run on the AT&T LTE network? I'm also in the market for a full-price S4 ... that I'd like to use on AT&T while in the US but also have capability to swap SIM cards and use in Japan, South Korea, Spain and Norway. Thoughts?

the i9505 will work on 3G on AT&T, but not 4G. as for the other countries, look up their mobile frequencies and compare it to the i9505's. For example, here are AT&T's frequencies.
The US (still AT&T exclusive?) S4 active has LTE bands around 1700 MHz, while i9295 does not and instead has the 1800 MHz band (which is widely used in Europe, and is not apparently present in AT&T S4 active).
Can those bands be "converted" by software in any way?
Does anyone know How to Enable T-Mobile 3G/4G AWS Bands on AT&T Galaxy Note 3? Thanks
Thank you
Is there any way to get the 900 mhz European 3G frecuency working on a T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3?. Maybe flashing the radio or something?

If the hardware doesn't support it then there it not really a way of doing it and I think tmobile left all the bands open that the hardware itself could support unlike ATT. Are you already in the area where you need that band? The n900T does support the 900mhz gsm band but not the 900 mhz umts/wcdma band. So as it stands right now you should get voice but data would be 2g.
few people says that n9005 is not compatible with bell but only with rogers.
but as for my research, bell and rogers both offers 1700/2100/2600 mhz LTE band.
apparently n900w8 version does not have 2600mhz frequency but n9005 does, which is a advantage over n900w8 i think,
and also both version of the phone only supports 2100mhz but no 1700mhz.
so i don't see why n9005 version of galaxy note 3 is not compatible with bell network.
is anyone using n9005 on bell network? is it just those few people have wrong information or theres something i just don't understand?
Thanks in advance guys
FYI,
LTE n9005– 800/850/900/1800/2100/2600mhz
LTE n900w8– 700/1900/2100mhz
Bell&Rogers both have these frequencies
HSPA+ : 850/1900mhz
LTE: 1700/2100/2600
