Dont think anyone has a clue yet. In Oman, trying to get some bloody info from whatever source I can. The local vendors have no clue either. Is the S800 (n9005) version available in Dubai? (market or online)
Samsung have done a 'Nexus 4 launch style cluster****' on this one.
Does truly nobody know that Samsung has been putting Region Locks in their firmware for months? I assumed it was fairly common knowledge.
i just played with note 3 in Jumbo Electronics, i couldn't see anything written on box like European version.

No - my Note 2 has no region locks and judging by the thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2457964 this is news to most people.

The people on SamMobile know about it. The S4 has it too. It's nothing new. No, your note 2 doesn't have it, yet. Because it hasn't been updated.

Hi all
I would buy this phone and my friend is now in China and then will go to Korea.
Where better to buy? N9005 Snapdragon, Exynos or N900S N900? Chinese.
I hope that some of you advise me.
thanks
Do you know by any chance the price in different countries?

If you have LTE in your area I would recommend getting the N9005 in Korea. China doesn't offer either the N9005 or N900, they have their own variants which all lack google apps

There's a good chance of network frequency incompatibilities if you're going to use an Asian model anywhere else in the world. Not to mention the Region lock, but both can in theory be solved by flashing and rooting.
As for EU prices:
Netherlands €672
Germany €649
Belgium €649
Switzerland 749CHF/€606
(no, I have no idea why the price in the Netherlands is so ridiculously high.
Actually yes I do: It's good old-fashioned Dutch Greed.)

best thing to do always, buy the set where you live, mainly for warrantr purposes, I have taken to dealer 3 different sets in 6 years, If you get yours from china whom are you going to claim warranty if needed? think carefully, luck

Ok, that's worse.
Good thing there's no import restrictions or costs in the EU, then. Even with shipping it's cheaper to order in another country.....
For you Americans complaining about having to pay $300, that's $1133.

Do NOT buy in China, as this will be the locked Chinese version with no play store, etc... Having said that, any phone market in China will also have the HK or international version as well (9005)... so if you're friend is smart enough to be able to identify the international version and make sure he/she doesn't buy the China version, this would be a good move. Prices for import phones in China are often quite keen, but then again this comes down to your friend's negotiating power...
I've always found Samsung stuff in Korea to be more expensive than elsewhere, and a Korean colleague of mine specifically bought his S4 in HK instead of in Korea due to this...
HK probably the best bet though. Note, reason is simply that HK has no sales tax, so is always going to be cheaper than somewhere that does... HOWEVER, some countries allow you to get tax back at the airport. For example, if you buy the phone in Germany, but you don't reside there, just show the tax receipt and the phone to the tax office at the airport and you'll get something around 15% of the price back. Note not all countries do this. China doesn't. Singapore does. HK doesn't need to. I think all of the EU does (as long as you're not an EU resident).
I personally bought my N3 in Australia a couple of weeks ago for AUD 880. I then got around 80 AUD back at the airport (have forgotten exact amount but around 80 AUD) so my actual price was 800 AUD which is 565 EUR / 773 USD. Seoul airport wanted over 1,000 USD for it. HK airport wanted around 900 USD, but note these are airport prices and this was days after launch.
never buy an android device in china, you will find that the google framework/service are all missing, btw i got my n900 in hk.

You bet man, I think I will buy mine from expansys uk .. the price is like 660 euros plus 15 eurs shiping.. its the best deal I found in europe, if somenone knows a better deal please do tell!
Where can I purchase the the SM910C? I can't find any reputable seller. The "C" (Exynos) is suppose to be compatible with virtually every network (and US LTE Bands to some extent); similar to the "F" (Snapdragon)
Mine is is the N910C variant, i am based in Malaysia
The C variant is sold in South East Asia i think

C-version can purchase in Russia (after 23.10 ~850-900$, but i don't know seller from us).. U-version (the same except modem) - in Korea
Dubai
Well this is the model that is sold in Dubai, UAE. Just got mine yesterday.
which shop in dubai has the note 4
You can pre-order C, U and F in Poland (but stores aren't sure yet which version they will have and the price is higher than in other countries).
Can people give us some links please
The C Variant is all I'll really need now, haha. I wonder what the sales figure is now for the Note 4 in general.

@AndreiLux,
Hi, I live in Ecuador and the networks here are Claro and Movistar. I think the 910C is the version I need but not 100%. I am visiting the States in 2 weeks and want to bring back the new phone with me, so I need to get this purchased right away so it can be shipped on time. Do you know what the difference is between the 910C and 910U? If you develop for one, will it be compatible with the other? I will be happy to contribute to your fundraiser campaign to make sure it gets funded.
I am *only* interested in this phone with a custom rom, I don't want all the extra Samsung apps. I want pure Android. So it's very important to me to make sure I buy the right phone that is going to be modded by the community.
I'm having some trouble finding someone that will ship it to the States quickly enough for a reasonable price.
Thank you.

Depends on your VAT. Anyway one of those shops got good reviews from outside purchasers and they apparently speak English and German if you send them a mail.
I would avoid Russia if possible.

Keep in mind, that some models have a REGION-lock: you must first make a call in the region the phone is locked of a minimum of 5 minutes, before SIM-cards of other regions are accepted!

Can't you simply flash a ROM (as long as the modem is the same) from a different region (other than the EU) and unlock the region-lock?

That means it was imported from United Arab Emirates. I also think it means you don't have any warranty service in Romania from Samsung.
