Does not matter i think. I don't know about frequency but i do know one thing that if you didn't purchase your device from a service carrier then there will be no problem at all.
That's i know.
If you want to confirm all the way then please ask to any USA resident.

Any Usa residents

Am an Indian living in Kuwait and I wanted to buy this mobile from India as it s very cheap there. But will there be any difference in terms of GSM thing and quality of manufacturing?

I want to buy it today but i am worried about the presense of GPU in the Indian version of it.
If anybody has details regarding this please reply.

India has 3.5G in all (yes, all) cities with multiple operators (3 operators likely in wherever you go for 3.5G) and soon operators are launching 4G.
2G is GPRS which being in India, i have never seen on my phone in past 10 years, even in remote areas, there is EDGE which is 2.5G network and manages a 10kbps speed minimum (that's for villages too)
There is no NFC in note.

Since when did the Euro-spec Note ever include NFC? I have that, and there's no mention of it having NFC anyehre. If you have it, can you post screen shot's for proof please? Also include shots of firmware and build. Thanks!

Definitely don't agree with you... I love the flipcase, it barely adds any bulk and gives many more options to grip the phone (espy when taking photos)

Depends on the US network you go with. ATT, Verizon, Sprint all have their own models with different bootloaders + bands etc. - The N9005 *might* work with T-Mobile, but you'd have to check out the T-Mo forums and the other US variants forums on XDA first.

The question should have more details - WHAT US telco? Will you have a SIM from that carrier or you will be roaming?
As a generic start - with international (sim-unlocked or roaming) N9005 I believe you will get voice and 2G with AT&T and T-Mobile, don't know about Sprint, Verizon and the other carriers. Almost certainly you will not get LTE on all of them, possibly on any of those.

I wont be roaming. I planned to buy a sim there

galaxy note is quad band
so It should support the US network?

Things are more complex than it looks so you should really look/ask into the Q/A subforums for those:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-tmobile
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-note-3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint
(those are also listed in an order starting with those most likely to work and also have prepaid cards, but again I believe even those SIM cards have to be activated so ask for more details there).

[Q] Noob seeking advice.

Good day/evening ladies and gentleman. I am a noob, go ahead, laugh.... I am an american living in China, I have a GS4 GTi9500 but the connection sucks here. I'm always stuck on E if I'm not connected to wifi. I am seriously contemplating to buy a Note 3, I need it for my studies and the S-Pen is a big help for writing Chinese characters.
Now my question is, they sell the Note 3 N9008V here, but I know that it being in China mobile it probably has no google support (playstore, etc) so I would like to know if there is a way to install a western version of android? I believe you guys call it custom rom? Or if it is better to have someone buy a phone in Hong Kong and bring it to me already with said version of android? I need something that can at least run on 3G. This 2 and 2.G connections are driving me insane.
I can't begin to thank you enough if you help me out here.
If anyone is willing to help guide me in a custom rom installation step by step through skype I will pay you for your services via paypal.
I am getting desperate here.

Why would we laugh on you. Almost everyone here asks these questions.
I think you can flash another rom.
Goto sammobile.com and check your firmware. You will get many from different countries.
I dont know this will make you use pkay store or not.

I will check. Thanks so much for the quick response. I hate this censorship crap.
Mate, my suggestion would be to get the international N9005 version... More support if you need it... N008 version has a VERY limited user base and not much support...
Make sure its the 32gb version though, not the 16gb Hongkong version as that also has its issues...

Ok. I'll look into it. Now how do I know which band does it run on? Meaning, will it be able to at least run on China Mobile 3G? Or better yet, 4G? I have an international GS4 GTi9500 and I'm stuck on E if I'm not on wifi... I know a girl here who brought her AT&T Note 3 and is the same for her, stuck on E all the time outside of wifi.

The network signal will be depend on ur carrier provider. It has nothing to do with the device.
I brought my Note 3 and Note 2 to village in Indonesia... the signal also get only E at certain corner. But on certain area I get G/3G/H/H+.
It depends on the coverage.

That's what I'm confused about. I got an unlocked carrierless GS4 and she brought an unlocked AT&T Note 3 from the U.S. she is also getting E anyehere she goes.

you are referring to a N9005 "used" ?
I suggest don't buy online with shipping like that for used item. Because you can't check the device on the spot of payment.
If you like to buy online, buy a new one. Much better than a used one, because for used one, you will have no idea what the device has gone through on the 1st hand buyer.

Roger that. I just used it as an example. However, I see some N9005 for verizon and some for T-mobile/AT&T. If anyone is willing to give me an ebay link for a new one that could suit my needs I would greatly appreciate it. I'm assuming I need one for AT&T/T-Mobile right?
Can someone please tell me the difference between the Note 3 SM-N9005 and the Note 3 N9005? I don't want to buy the wrong phone. Please.
Also, can somebody please explain to me why this phone is not for U S carriers? Yet it is being sold in the U.S?

If I'm not wrong, item can be shipped to US country as well.
"Shipping and handling
Item location: Chatsworth, California, United States
Shipping to: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Denmark, Romania, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Finland, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Estonia, Australia, Greece, Portugal, Cyprus, Slovenia, Japan, China, Sweden, Korea, South, Belgium, France, Hong Kong, Ireland, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Italy, Germany, Austria, Russian Federation, Israel, Mexico, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, Switzerland, Norway"
but if you ask me whether can be used for US carriers or not, I'm not so sure. You have to see the network band frequency, whether it is compatible to be used with US carriers or not.
Normally an International Factory unlock version, should be able to work with any country's simcard, with a match band frequency.
I might be wrong, I have never been to US. Perhaps other users in US might explain about this.
Cheers.
I hope you are aware that the signal won't change from E add your friend already had hers and it's the same. It is problem with your carrier and not your phone. So getting the note 3 won't improve that situation at all.

[Q] Which model for Kuwait then USA?

Love my Verizon S4 but unable to use in Kuwait. Will be in Kuwait and would like the S4 version that I can use there and when I return in a year, use in the US. Which model do I get and do you know which carrier is good in US?

Buy only GT I9505 that is LTE for use in your country.
Next is question about what US carrier provider to choose when back home.
have a nice stay there.
You can buy any GT-I9500 3G or GT-I9505 4G-LTE.
Galaxy S4 black edition is also available..
GT-I9505 4G-LTE & S4 Black Edition are preferable though

is a SM-G900V compatible with european mobile network?

Hello,
I would like to get myself an SM-G900V from eBay.
The seller advertise it has Verizon + unlocked and it seems unlocked.
My worries is that it seems to be a CDMA so it won't work in europe?
Please could one of you tell me if this phone is GSM compatible or not? Will it work in europe then?
Thanks
