Verizon? Att?

This is the international version. You can buy it unlocked and use it on AT&T, but the U.S. Variants haven't been announced.

This is a phone discussion forum, not a carrier forum. I see no reason why you should post this here. Try the off-topic forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=261
Good luck

Why does everybody assume that the big two will get it first? The Vibrant was released first on T-Mobile, it might just be that case this time around too.

correct me if i'm wrong but wasn't T-Mobile USA just bought by AT&T? just sayin'

You think they're going to let an 80 million subscriber company swallow a 30 million one? And plus, that doesn't get in the way of phone releases. There's still a year to go: plenty of time to sell a variant of the SGSII on T-Mo.

Alright so I was off on the subscriber numbers. That still doesn't change the fact that this deal right now is most likely not going to happen. As the articles you posted say, removing T-Mo from the picture would relieve the pressure the carrier puts on the others with its low prices not to mention a significant amount of people that are against the acquisition, including several members of the FCC.
EDIT- Fixed a few grammatical errors.

You are right. do not know why you are being harassed here
TMo will be doing its own business for at least a year.
It will release its own variant of SGS2. I would not be surprised if ATT again has a unique to it shape.

Why bother waiting for a contract-chaining, feature-deprived, update-delayed, support-deficient, bloat-filled, subsidized version? The international version is 100% compatible with AT&T.

Oh I see your point. But "att already has it" is not correct, speaking your language it WILL have it on May 1st.
And to answer your "why bother question" - because it will be 3.5x cheaper subsidized, it can be freely swapped at AT&T if anything is wrong with the set, and it will carry a one year warranty. Some people prefer this to having no bloatware .
And I HOPE since there is no more exclusivity to iPhone, AT&T won't be maiming features of its android phones.
That said, if I hear that AT&T is releasing at end of July, I will probably buy an import

Wow... quite descriptive.
Ultimately, you will enjoy this device more as how Samsung envisioned it. Although, if you cannot afford the international rates, then the ATT / TMO versions will not differ to much aside from the Software. That can always be modified later on.

Agreed. lol
The list that is attached and linked to only states IF a device will receive ICS, not WHEN. So the title of this thread is completely misleading.
"Soon" is a condition of time, not intention. The phrase you're looking for is
"ICS will be coming"
But then, of course, we would all respond..."uh, yeah, we know"
http://www.androidcentral.com/att-provides-ics-list-nothing-surprise-us
I'm sorry for being brash but it seems like an attempt to generate fictitious hype.
By definition, "soon" for the US carriers= forever....to never.
Don't be surprised if at&t doesn't release official ICS until next year...when basically the Note 2 should be released by then.
Typical US carriers' method of sucker-punching people to buy out-dated phones (doesn't usually apply to XDA anyways...)

They released a ICS update pretty quickly for the HTC Vivid and there are already plenty of Betas out for the Samsung Galaxy S II | Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket as well as the Note. AFAIK T-Mobile doesn't have any expect release dates for ICS on their Galaxy S II model.

No Custom Roms?

Why after so many months, there are still no custom roms being made for this phone? Is it because of the second screen or because no one cares enough to do one?

Can't you use the TMO variant with some random small-dollar plan for just a couple months, pay off the phone, then take it to Verizon unlocked?

Verizon would never activate it on their network anyways, so it doesn't matter. They whitelist IMEIs.

I figured being similar to the g4 we wouldn't have issues getting a rom from a dev. I read a post from someone saying they were able to get a g4 rom to flash on the v10.

My thoughts exactly
The lack of development for this phone is the main reason I wish I didn't get this phone.
It's interesting that there isn't much development on this phone considering its one that seems to appeal to power users with Microsd support, battery removal and the secondary screen.
Well, I would think someone would have to figure out root first since the tmobile version is the only one with root so far.
People seem to be trying but it's slow going!

Still doesn't belong here does it? I could post my Verizon model here since it's Sim unlocked and works with T-Mo, so this thread should really be in the general Note 7 area.
So when you say compatible - has anyone put together a list of frequencies for the various models? I'd like to find a Duos model to use with T-Mobile/Bell Mobility (Canada) with the maximum network compatibility. Really excited about this Note 7 - except for the non-removable battery.

No, if your phone is Verizon,regardless of what carrier you are on, you'd have to go to the Verizon forums to get the exploits for your phone. It's different hardware from the Tmo version.

Nice. Been waiting for this.
I usually look forward to the updates but the beta has been rock solid for me this time so I don't mind the wait. If the US phones are scheduled for January then my unlocked phone won't get the release till almost February anyway.
