why couldn't samsung make the galaxy note a pentaband just like the Galaxy Nexus? man i'm mad i think they do that on purpose to sell more phones.i just saw the galxy nexus review on engadget. i'm confuse to which one to get, i'm on t-mobile don't want to go to at&t for the note and i love the note more than the nexus. man they're foever playing with us and our money, they never want to give you what you want in one device
You know, not to long ago I was in your shoes but it was the other way around. It was T-mobile for a while that had all the cool Android phones first that I really wanted like the Nexus phones. We were stuck with the sorry excuse Backflip (ATT's first Android phone). Ever since Samsung moved to it's quadband SoC it's been a nice change to get the latest tech even if it isn't "official" and we have to import it.
But, I'm afraid this honeymoon of ATT users being able to import phones will end with the ATT LTE rollout. Unless Samsung updates its european radios to support US ATT LTE frequencies we won't be able to use european phones on ATT LTE.
Their initial focus for the Note is obviously not the US, T-Mobile is not the biggest carrier in the US, and T-Mobile uses the AWS frequency range, which almost no one in the world uses. (Does anyone else use 1700/2100?) As much as I would love it if it were Pentaband, I'm not at all surprised that it isn't.
As to the Nexus, it is the ICS flagship, and so Google/Samsung will want it released in as many places as possible, so including AWS makes more sense. The Note, in comparison, might end up being a niche product, so there is probably less pressure to rush it to minor segments.

The new Snapdragon S4 chip does provide full broadband frequences:
"• First Fully Integrated 3G/4G: The S4 class includes the
industry’s first fully integrated LTE world mode/multimode
modem"
man you are so right about this part.

That would be nice! I hope Samsung's Exynos follows suit or they start using the S4.

I am happy with Hsdpa+. It's fast enough.

Hi,
Can anyone confirm if Galaxy Note already have LTE for India Market ? Currently LTE support is not available, but is expected to arrive soon around end of Dec 2011/Jan 2012.
Hence better to buy Galaxy Note with LTE.
LTE ?
Hi I just bought a Galaxy Note in Saudi, where they have LTE, but I don't know how to check if the phone have LTE, I found some things in the settings, but it fails when I click it. but maybe I need a 4G LTE sim card...
does any one know haw to check if the phone Has LTE ?
Okay I have a new galaxy tab. I also have the SGS II, which is rooted so I am well aware of the process. I have looked all over these threads and can't seem to find a rom that works for the 4G and wifi tab. I see some that works for 3G. Need some assistance on this before I dive in and root. Thanks.
If you're talking about the sch-i905 (verizon LTE model of the galaxy tab 10.1) the answer is no. There is no CM9 ROM available that has working LTE.
So if you're in need of mobile data using the verizon version of the tab you'll have to just root 3.2 and wait.
I have the T mobile 4G galaxy Tab. I am guessing its the same thing though. Thanks.
No it's not the same thing.
When it comes to differentiating device hardware types on mobile broadband devices one should never rely on the 3g/4g nomenclature to draw model comparisons. Various carriers use the terms generally for marketing purposes. The reality is there are Galaxy Tab 10.1 devices marketed by some carriers as 4g that are LTE and some that are not. I'm not arguing that HSPA+ isn't 4g mind you, but there definitely is a difference between an LTE Galaxy Tab 10.1 and another model that's otherwise marketed as 4g.
Bottom line; look at specific device model numbers, not the 4g nomenclature, your T-Mobile based tablet is most certainly not the SCH-i905 model on which my response was based.
See Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development....search for ics ....

so I'm on wind but have found out that wind is carrying the exynos version of the note 3....now I'm not sure I don't want it, I simply want yr one that will have the most dev support, having a phone that can use lte for the future would sure be nice but if the exynos has the dev support them so be it. obviously I also care hugely about the cache coherency being broken or not and if hmp is to be implemented from release. I guess we will know more when they actually get released
but what I'm really wondering is, could I just go to Rogers or bell and buy the new note and bring it to wind like you see able to with the new iCrap phone? or is the note not going to be as universal?
then what about ordering the T-Mobile version? T-Mobile is selling the Snapdragon version while wind is not, but should the T-Mobile note be compatible with the wind aws network even though the T-Mobile network is an lte network? am I missing something here?
Hi guys I am going to buy a new wifi connection but where I live wimax is recommended so my question is whether it s5 uses wimax.
