Does anyone know if there is any physical differences between the variants of this phone. Particularly between the front and back. I'll be getting the Rogers version but I can only see protectors for the Sprint and AT&T versions on eBay thus far. Would like to have one for the phone right out of the box.

Yes there are. The sprint version is the same as the Rogers, if you Google your model number and goto the gsmarena site you can compare specs with the lg e973 which is the sprint version.

Well this forum also be for the Rogers Galaxy Note i717R or will there be a separate section?

I think this will be the forum for it as well, in the Captivate section we support Rogers Captivates, and the only difference really should be differences in the Rogers ROM and ATT ROM, all the underlying hardware is the same so in the end they should wind up being compatible.
Yeah all the bell, telus and Rogers as well as at&t are the same phone.

At least the same model, but not the same phone. It seems the Canadian models are no where near as locked down as the ATT model.

In what ways is the AT&T model more locked down?

Just the fact that the Canadian models have a toggle for LTE/HSPA+, have the NFC activated, less bloatware, stock Samsung box and accessories etc.
Not a big deal, but definitely a differently packaged product for the same model phone. And in the case of the Bell Model, no carrier branding.
I currently live in the US, but am planning on moving to the UK in September. Currently I have a Droid Bionic that is old, and I am looking to drop Verizon and pick up Tmo or another contractless carrier until I move. Obviously I want the phone to work in the UK, with EE as well. I am looking to buy a newer phone with a 5" 1080p display, nfc, and a micro sd slot. Any suggestions? I like the the Xperia Z but there are different models. Any suggestions?
Sure along as it picks up the correct gsm networks you will be fine pal

I think the GS4 should meet your requirements.
Has crazy specs along with LTE.
As my phone is ultimately failing right now, I'm not sure how much longer I can use this phone before it goes out the Window or quits completely. So S4 is out of the question.

Anyone know the difference between the canadian version of the galaxy mega i527m and the US AT&T version i527. Honestly I am new to android and wanted to buy one of these phones. Being a noob I assumed there was only one north american version. I am canadian so I ended up buying one from a ebay seller in canada, who's auction shows what looks to be a canadian device according to the photos of the box and model number, so I ended up buying it and am currently waiting for its arrival, but then soon after I bought it, I read on here about someone who bought one from the same ebay seller and received a brand new unlocked AT&T version. So if this ends up being the case for me as well, will the AT&T version work the same for me on my canadian carrier Telus? Will I be able to use the Telus LTE network for data? What other differences would their be?
Thanks in advance
The m version has the extra 1700mhz lte band in order to make it compatible with robelus' lte network. I don't think that you will get lte with the sgh-i527 version.
I almost did the same thing as you until I figured it out. So, I bought it locally in canada instead.

Hi guys,
I went ahead and got a D801 (T-Mobile) thinking basically all G2s had all the bands listed in GSM Arena. I sadly found out after I got the device that this is not the case and that the D801 doesn't have the 900 band for HSDPA, which is what my carrier uses, so I'm stuck with Edge.
I'm now selling it in order to get another one that works for me (because why would you buy a Ferrari if you couldn't drive over 20Mph?...)
I've been reading up on the subject trying to find one that fits the bill but I find a lot of conflicting/confusing info so I'm just asking straight out, which version of the G2 do I need to get in order to have HSDPA on the 900 band?
Thanks in advance.
Sprint maybe

900 band for HSPA? In the US? I don't think so.

I'm not in the US, I'm in the Dominican Republic.
Does anybody know a place where I can see the different bands for all models? I can't find one single place that has them all.

Thanks! That's just wat I needed. I was on wikipedia before but some how I missed it.
Seems like the only one I can go for is the Verizon one. Honestly, I'm not too thrilled given their update record on my current phone (Motorola Droid 2 Global) which is also from Verizon (yeah, I waitied A LOT to do the upgrade but I really liked having a keyboard so I held on to it as long as I could).
I'll need to check how's the development scene for this one (although, I think T-Mobile is the the one with the least development going on for what I've seen) but if the scene is good I think I might go for it. Otherwise I'll get a Nexus 5 which is the closest thing to a G2.
Hey guys! Soon I'll be buying a G2 outright. I'm on Telus in Canada and I'm just wondering if it really matters what variant I buy. I see a few different models available to buy unlocked and just wanna be sure there's no big difference for me which one I buy.
I suppose if they'll all work just fine, then I should go with the best dev supported model....if there is one.
Thanks for any input.

All the phones in Canada are the D803 version but I got mine through Wind Mobile which is the D801 and came factory unlocked.
Software versions between the 2 are different as well but I'm not sure what is different.
I'm not sure if there are any major differences between the Canadian models but things I saw through xda are that my D801 from Wind is missing the 3rd mic located by the flash. I haven't tried it yet, but I read that this affects the audio zoom function by rendering it barely recognizable and/or useless.
Also, not sure if you would care (but matters to me) is that I am unable to set my D801 LG G2 camera to mute without rooting and flashing another rom.
Thanks! So 803 may be best then. I see just about all the variants available. So maybe I'll focus on the 803.
I'm really hoping signal strength is better than my S2. I gotta go outside where I live to talk or text. Lol

Can anyone confirm that the LTE bands on the Rogers D803 are the same as Bellus?
I may go with a d802....at this point there seems to be more development for it. We'll see in a bit when I'm ready to buy if that changes or not. But seems there isn't much for the 803.

Yes they both use AWS for LTE (Bell and Rogers also have access to BRS 2600, but TELUS doesn't).
I'm using D802
