Currently on AT&T and am contemplating getting the Intl. version because of the quad core as well as no carrier bloatware, etc.
My question though is I have to use a MicroCell at home due to AT&T not having great coverage in my area... Will the Intl. version of the phone still work with the MicroCell unit?
Thanks!
Bump
Never really looked into the micro cell to much but my question is how do I actually order the int. Version for AT&T.
Also Bump.

You can also go through www.expansys-usa.com as well.

Order mine on July 1 from Newegg. Have noticed the price is varying from day to day. From past I found on other computer parts to order on weekends for they have bitter deals.

wait a minute. the SGS2 is being sold unlocked already from most places. so if you buy one it will just work on tmobile USA, just pop in your sim and go. however the SGS2 will not support tmobile USA 3G so you will only be stuck on EDGE/2G. nothing can change that.

nope. TMobile US has modified 3G as their 4G (HSPA+). I believe it is the same band as 3G (HSPA/UMTS)... but I could be wrong.

no that wont work either unless the phone is specifically made for tmobile usa 3g bands. when the USA versions come out, they are already confirmed for ATT, verizon, etc, but no tmobile. none of those versions will work on tmobile.
this has alreayd been covered, and the only choice you have is the samsung Hercules coming in place of the SGS2 to tmobile.

No it wont, the vibrant had one of att 3g bands so it could partially work on att. The galaxy s2 has NONE of T-Mobile bands, so it wont work period. It just wont work man no matter how many times you ask. Search the forum this has already been covered in depth.

I know how bad it sucks for the T-Mobile people, best device in 5 years and you can't use it on 3g.
Like the title states...I ask this because after being disappointed by my brand new Galaxy Nexus with a defective screen. I'm looking to get the galaxy s2. But I'm torn between the SGH-T989 and this device because of the different processors. I realize that if I am to get the i9100 I will be stuck on edge.
The main reason I upgraded from my earlier phone the HTC Sensation was for a gorgeous display and an amazing day to day performance which my Galaxy Nexus failed to deliver. So I was just wondering if anyone who currently owns the i9100 is using it on T-Mobile and is it worth the edge or is the SGH-T989 as good or good enough as the i9100? All Opinions are Welcome.

Are you in America? Because I'm on T-Mobile in the UK, and apart from my data being throttled to 1.8Mbps, its fine.

I've never managed more than 1mbps.....
I am perfectly satisfied with T-Mobile in Germany, other then them throttling my data after 300mb/month. Of course this is my own fault for the plan I setup.
He is on T-mobile USA, so different frequencies than Europe, and this phone (I9100) only gets Edge data speeds.

Your right..even with an amazing phone like the galaxy s2 having it on edge only is an insult and I couldn't tolerate it. So I'll just stick with my GN and see what happens with the Galaxy s3.

Dude,
It works very well! I have the AT&T Note... I unlocked it ($25 on ebay, I prefer this method as the seller has a reputation to protect). I then had it rooted, then flashed over to T-Mobile (http://rootgalaxynote.com/).
I did a test on the $30 - 1,500 minute plan (only 30 megs of data) to see how it works. I did this before flashing the modem and the 2G/Edge doesn't work well at all for the Note. However, after flashing the modem, it screams on TMO's 4G.
Good luck to you, but flash it and don't look back!

But just as a heads up, the exynos chip in the international version is not LTE equipped. So, if you get the international model it won't work on Tmobile's 4g bands even if you flash/hack/pray to the cell gods or anything else to your phone.

I'm not totally sure but, I believe if you get the international it will work on tmobile's hspa+. You shouldn't have to get the AT&T version if you just want to use the phone on tmobile and, are ok without LTE. Hspa+ is still very fast.

T-Mobile doesn't even have LTE so it doesn't make a difference.
The AT&T Note is the only one that works with T-Mobile 4G which again, is not LTE.
Also, no the international version does NOT get T-Mobile hspa +.
The international version ONLY gets EDGE on T-Mobile.

I am able to pay £100 next week and get a Galaxy Note 2 from EverthingEverywhere off my mums contract and give her my HSPA (she wont use 4G!) Galaxy S3.
I am wondering if it would be possible to get the Galaxy Note to work on O2. The Galaxy S3 is already unlocked so that wont be an issue!
Thanks

...and I'm not sure even EE have gone live yet.
Once it is live, only sixteen cities in the UK will get 4g until the Spring of next year. I'm definitely and early adopter, but there's early and there's early!
EE went live over 2 weeks ago....

Although handsets are displaying EE this is only EEs 3G Network. 4G EE will be going live at the end of the month in 10 major cities followed by several more by the end of the year.
From Techrader Website:
The date sees the new EE brand "go live" alongside the super-fast mobile network, which will go live in ten cities around the country (London, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Bristol, Birmingham).
EE says that Belfast, Derby, Hull, Nottingham, Newcastle and Southampton will also join the 4G line-up by the end of the year.
To all yes I realise that the galaxy note 2 won't work on o2 4g when it is released and I also understand that EE isn't live until the 30th.... the business model is in practice unil early next year!!
Thanks to all for the comments

Thats all really, I cracked the screen on my S3 and as only I would, I just ordered another contract to get a new S3.. but I heard that all new 3 models will now be 4G compatible/ready?

No, not all.
If you want a 4G S3, make sure you get the I9305 model. This also comes with 2GB RAM.

Thanks, thats what I thought. I just heard that all future models will be 4g ready. It doesnt matter anyway, there is no 4G signal in my area yet anyway.. although they have 3 EE shops open in the town centre, I find that bizarre when no one in redditch can get a 4G signal !!
Well here in Coventry there is about 10EE store just in the City Center yet 4G isnt available here either.
Its because EE has replaced all Orange and Tmobile stores.
