Does anyone know if there is a 32GB internal LTE version of the Galaxy Note that is unlocked and works with an AT&T USA sim card?
Tony
Yezir! Although, LTE is only by region.
I'm not sure if there is 32 gb internal memory on galaxy note.

To answer your question; There is no 32GB I717 LTE model. They are all 16GB.
Well. that's certainly a VARIETY of answers.
For those who say that there IS an unlocked 32GB LTE version, where would I be able to buy this (I'm in the USA)?
Those that said it was available was quite confused. Most likely a language barrier as they confused the words internal, international, and even an internation in there. There are no I717 versions in North America. Closest would be the Korean model. There are a few discussing it on XDA now. It is very similiar but the differences and the unknown factor are causing some issues. But if you want 32GB internal then you will have to get an n7000 note and give up LTE and the North American capacitance buttons.
Thanks for clearing that up. Where do they sell non-LTE unlocked 32GB Note's compatable with the AT&T USA sim card?

I don't think you can buy them locally for sure. Try Amazon and definitely ebay. 2 places that I have dealt with in the past are http://www.onthegosolutions.com/ and http://www.networkingrus.com/. Again you are looking for the n7000. Also there is another forum on XDA for this version of the Samsung Note.
I dunno what memory capacity they sell, but my local Fry's Electronics has had an unlocked International model in stock the past couple times I went to the store. If you live near one, you might want to swing by their unlocked phones section. I think it was $749 though.

Okay gang, I need your help. I'm new to the android landscape (note was my first android device) and was asked by a good friend of mine to find her a phone.
She's looking for a Unlocked Samsung Galaxy series phone that she can use here in the US as well as be able to swap a sim card and use for service in Italy when she visits.
So two questions. What device do you all recommend, and where is the best place to procure it?
Thanks in advance!! I know this is a galaxy note forum, but couldn't think of a better group of folks to field these questions

Are LTE frequencies the same worldwide?

Agreed. The unlocked Nexus $399.99 is the best choice for now.
Sent from my AT&T Galaxy Note™ - please forgive any typos
Here's a list of frequencies used by country:
http://allworldcellphones.com/gsm-frequencies-list.htm
Italy uses GSM 900 and 1800 frequencies which is supported by the International Note as well as the I717. I didn't see anything about LTE or HSDPA related figures, but I only looked for 3 min and clicked the first link.
My suggestion would be for her to determine what she wants in a phone. Does she want to take notes? does she want a small phone? As long as the phone has the proper frequencies, she would be able to use it in Italy. Most AT&T phones have the capability of running 800 and 1800 as well as many others, but verify by looking at the specs before buying. If she has a US carrier in mind (like AT&T) she can buy one of those subsidized and pay an unlock fee from a site (cheapest I've heard of was $8) and will probably save money.
If she wants to buy a phone outright I'd say look at the galaxy 2 series. From what I hear it's a great phone, a large community here (if she feels the urge to mod it) and can pick a new unlocked one for about 400.
Hope this helps a little.
any international unlocked phone will work. the international gs3 wouldnt be a bad bet. n7000 as well. you just wont have lte. I would not recommend an at&t direct phone because it will not be unlocked. so sim flipping could be an issue in italy.
International Galaxy Note, Galaxy Nexus, or wait for the Galaxy S3 to come out.

Here is my issue. I am currently in the US. I might teach ESL overseas in Korea in January. I am not sure which phone to get. Will the USA one work over in Korea? Will thew international one work in the US?
It could work but Sprint has the radios locked.
Would developers be able to get them unlocked?

They propably can but the intl one supports more radio frequensies and is assembled to work worldwide so I'd buy it in any case rather than us version.

The international one works in the US flawless... just not on all carriers... it works the best on AT&T if you want to use it in the US and get 4G(HSPA+)
You can use it on T-Mobile but you will have to settle for EDGE(2G)
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
It would work on most carriers which uses the international frequencies.
Not just AT&T for US. Works with Rogers, Fido, Telus, and Bell Mobility in Canada for instance.

Just a side note, HSPA+ is not 4G. It's still 3G. LTE/WiMax is 4G.
so which companies will it work with 4g/lte? Will it not work with Sprint? Anyone know any deals for the international version?
Sprint (and Verizon) is on an old CDMA network while the majority of the world is on GSM, you know, operating with a SIM card. If you're set on travelling, it's better to get any of the GSM-variant, that way, you can just pop in any sim card from any major carriers all over the world.
I currently have a photon which has a sim card slot in it. So the Galaxy s international wont work on Sprint? Damn I want to keep my SERO plan lol. So where can I get an international verison from? Also would I have to pay full price for it?
Does the photon has an active sim card in it? I'm assuming no. I've never used a dual-mode phone before (nor am I familiar with how they operate on different networks), so I dont know the ins-and-outs on how to get it activate for a GSM carrier.
Damn, now i have a headache just trying to figure out how it works to have an intl GSM phone on a network that is predominantly CDMA whom happens to offer a dual-mode phone on their network

The SIM in the Photon is just for roaming. Sprint does not use SIM cards - even their LTE phones have them embedded rather than user-accessible.
As the Sprint Galaxy S III is not a 'global' phone - i.e. does not have both GSM/UMTS and CDMA radios - do not purchase it if you have any intention of using it outside the US. CDMA is no longer a global technology.
Confuses me a little that people spend so much on devices without checking what networks they support. Ho-hum.

Hello all
As u all know there is an upgrade ver of samsung galaxy s3 international model, it has 2gb of ram etc

The international, non-LTE version, does NOT have 2Gb of RAM.
The ROMS for the LTE and non-LTE variants are different, because the radios, GPUs and CPUs are different.

No. This is wrong.
The US LTE version has a different CPU and GPU and radios, the new international version with LTE has the same CPU, GPU and radios and also includes an LTE chip and also 2gb of ram.
ROMs MAY work for both, but then again maybe not. We'll have to wait and see what devs do.

What the f***? Where can I find out about this new international 2GB version? I think maybe I need to offload my 1GB handset before it comes out and decimates the value of it.

Try Google?
Also note that lte will cost a premium, kills battery, and speeds in real life, busy network situations are untried and untested so far, so don't ditch the s3....be patient and stay informed

Yeah, a quick Google search for "international galaxy s3 2gb lte" didn't turn up the result I wanted on the first page unfortunately.
I presume that it will only work on Everything Everywhere's new LTE network? I'm planning on selling my S3 anyway so I can get the next Nexus - I was just afraid that the value of my S3 would get destroyed with this new 2GB version coming out. I guess not if it can only be used on Tmob/Orange.
....and only a few cities at the moment, so it will just end up using 3g and 3g+ anyway, so not worth wasting money on till next year at least
All Samsung top end phones will end up with the new process ram so they say .
But they don't say when or what models .Its a new method of building the ram that allows 2GB to take up the same amount of space in a phone as 1GB does at present .
I have lost the link to the above so cannot post .
jje
I don't think the S3 LTE will sell as well as people are expecting. I think it's a rushed product, they should have waited until the S4 when LTE will be more widely available.

And let Apple have an "actual" instead of perceived advantage? I don't think Samsung is about to let that happen.
I really don't care about the LTE anyway - it would be nice but I doubt it will come to my little town any time soon. What I care about is the 2 gigs of RAM which is what this phone should've had in all territories from launch -_-
It wasn't technically possible at launch...
Everyone knew full well that at least Note2 would pack it so if it was a r quirement, you should have held out.
Note that the new international is not software-wise compatible to the i9300 and thus will have a largely smaller modding community

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?
Is this the case? I ordered mine from 3 mobile.

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.

What is the difference between these models? Do they all have the same processors? I ususally buy my phone out right, root them and then use my AT&T network. I have been using my Note 1 for 18 month now. I am happy with it, but just saw the 6.3 Mega at a AT&T store and love it. I have checked Amazon and Ebay. I know i want the 16gig model. Just not sure what is the difference between the 3 models listed. I know the 9152 has dual sim capabilities. But besides that, are they all LTE capable? $149 for the Mega at the AT&T store is not a bad price for the phone.

Only the AT&T one will offer you LTE. That's why I bought it.

But if you don't want to extend the contract, you can definitely buy the international one, provided you're grandfathered in the unlimited smartphone data plan and also if you don't mind not getting LTE but frankly hspa+ is more than enough speed to watch youtube netflix and so on, and so on
