I want to get the note with ATT after I leave verizon (no point in staying if I can't keep unlimited when I upgrade). I want to know that if I install roms for the I7000 or whatever (international version, right?) will I run into any problems? Is there any differentiation between the att version of the note and the international one? And if so, how can I weed out the development for the att note?
Also curious, if I can install international roms on the ATT version, will I retain my lte?
Different phones. Use the AT&T Note thread for information.

Different hardware entirely. Either buy the ATT note and checkout the ATT note forum, or do what I did and buy the international note (unlocked) and use on AT&T network (in which case this is the correct forum). But you can't mix.

That's exactly what I did. I have the unlocked GT-N7000 (this forum model) on the ATT network. But yeah, totally different phones.

I have been doing a ton of research on the Note, so this is one of the few questions I can answer here. Not all of them...but most. Since I am still new here I am unable to add links.
The Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 (International) has a a dual-core 1.4 GHz Exynos processor. Externally, it has a physical "home" button and two touch-sensitive buttons. It also has a built in radio.
The Samsung Galaxy Note SGH-I717 (US & Canada) has a Qualcomm MSM8660 Snapdragon with a dual-core 1.5 GHz Scorpion CPU and an Adreno 220 GPU. It has four touch-sensitive buttons instead of two. It can do LTE.
Looking at that you might think that the I717 is just better all around. This -apparently - is incorrect. In the bench marked tests I saw with a Galaxy Note with Exynos VS. the Galaxy Note with Snapdragon, the Exynos based one beat Snapdragon performance wise.
Galaxy Note with Exynos
GLBenchmark 2.1 Egypt High: 2827 Frames (25.0 Fps)
GLBenchmark 2.1 Egypt Standard: 3012 Frames (26.7 Fps)
Galaxy Note with Snapdragon
GLBenchmark 2.1 Egypt High : 1014 Frames (9.0 Fps)
GLBenchmark 2.1 Egypt Standard : 2425 Frames (21.5 Fps)
The site I found this from is called "Galaxy Tabs" from a a Feb 6, 2012 post.
Which leaves the question - Why would Samsung use a less hefty chip in the US & Canada version. The reason I have found is that the Exynos processor can't do LTE. Then again - weather all this is good or not depend on preferences and pattern of use.
------------------
So there you have it. I should mention though that (I presume) you did a terrible job searching. Not only did I find a post here from 28th February 2012 Called i717 vs GT N7000, but I also found alot of information from -wait for it- Wikipedia. Just FYI.
On the upside though - most of the stuff I mentioned I did from memory.
YAY research!
The att i717 has lte. If u using internet alot and your area has lte. Its better to use the att gnote. U can always overclock tge i717gnote to make tge clock faster.. After overclock there's no lag issues and it runs super smooth. But if u want more custom roms abd faster offical update. Buy the international gnote. Either way u cant go wrong. I chose attgnote cos tge lte and i overclock my note. It runs super smooth and super fast downloads cos tge lte!!

I am getting a Note I now
I am getting confused with mixed reviews of N7000 and I717
Hardware seems good with N717(N.America ATT Version) but there seems lack of software dev on it!
I dont need LTE at all!
Can someone suggest which one to go with?
I already own a iPhone i am just getting note for an productivity!
If you need the device NOW.. Why don't you get a note II (there's a note II per carrier in USA) if you are not from USA get the N7100.. If you can't afford note II and you are from USA and your carrier it's AT&T get the I717, but anything else just get the N7000 because it has better hardware..
Price difference between note I and note II its not much.. Check on Amazon
Cheers

I717 has better hardware it seems
It comes with 1.5Ghz Snapdragon
I am not from USA anyhow i will be buying it from US in next month so only! Its easy to get unlocked
I dont like to spend too much on it since i will be switching off phones mostly an year!
My main reason for productivity that a lot i cant do with my iPhone. I am using my iPhone for multimedia so i need a android one for productivity! That's why i choose a Note

So after months of trying I was finally able to buy and import in the mythical sm-t705m into America. I contacted a few people and when I was telling a colleague he told me we had a coworker who had family in Brazil. And about 6 weeks later I am typing to you from my Tab S.
This is the South American version of the Tab S 8.4 that has the phone built in AND has compatible North American LTE bands. I can verify that LTE bands are working fine. I am on T-Mobile and all I did was take out my old Sim card and popped it into my tab s and it picked them up right away. Speeds are the same as they were on my old Galaxy Mega 6.3, just on a bigger device. Checked the network status and it said I was on band 4.
Tab s itself was about $450 but then cost of shipping and PayPal fee charge and a little something for my coworkers brother, it came to about $600. If I can get $200 for my old phone then I will be very happy with the final cost.
Those that want this device find someone that can help you out. Definitely worth it.

This is pretty interesting. I got my Tab S 8.4 from overseas (As I wanted phone capability) But I am only able to use HSPA+ on AT&T in the US. I didn't realize that there was a version with both US based LTE and Phone.
Any idea what model number it is? Is it Exynos or Snapdragon?

Its an exynos processor. Just ran CPU Z.
I was going to buy the European model as well, but I read a thread here about there being a South American version that had the compatible LTE bands and it does. I am on T-Mobile and it connects to band 4 all the time. I have ran multiple speed tests and I get usually mid 20s, although I did hit 51 Mbps down one time and 40s a handful of times as well. Depends on where I'm at.
I was worried about future proofing a bit because I read T-Mobile wasnt going to try to increase hspa+ and I was worried eventually they would dump it all together for LTE. This way I am good to go because it also has band 2 something they are working to increase as well this year.

Yeah, HSPA+ will be going away, but i'm sure i'll have a new by then anyways. Plus so many people are on LTE now that the HSPA+ speeds have been much better than they used to be...
AT&T does use Band 4 from what I can tell as well. I'll have to keep this in mind when buying a phone in the future.
Thanks!

No problem. Nice thing about the Tab S is that the specs are so good it should last for more than a typical phone.

Yes, that is very true. It preforms pretty good, but when the Tab S2 8.0 comes out I may just upgrade to that.
For me the crazy high resolution of the Tab S 8.4 is a little to high for an 8.4 inch device. The video has some lag from all the pixels. I think a lower resolution would be plenty fine and would help performance.
All the manufactures are having pixel density wars, I think they are getting out of hand.

I read that the S2 will have a 4:3 ratio and I think that might make it hard for calls and carrying, being wider. I'm happy with the form factor now. I always said a 7 inch would be perfect, but I am enjoying the 8.4 because of small bezels

Yeah 4:3 might be strange. But looking at the specs We're only talking about 1/2 inch wider. That might be ok for holding. We'll have to see when it comes out...
No 64 Gb note 5 in canada
I've checked with all the carriers none have plans to carry 64 gb note 5 here in canada. Also they only have sapphire black for some reason for now.. dissappointed was looking forward to buying a note 5 64 gb I think I just might buy a note edge as it has micro SD support. Any suggestions?
This is such a disappointment.
I originally planned on upgrading to the S6 Edge Plus, since I never made any use of the SPEN from my Note 3, so I figured that was a logical decision. I just picked up the phone last Friday (the 21st - launch date) and after spending the weekend playing with it, I've come to realize that I absolutely LOATHE the curved edge screen, and decided to take advantage of Rogers' "Buyers Remorse" policy and return the phone for the Note5 instead.
Until I realized they only offer the 32GB variety. So then I was thinking, f#@% it, I'll just cancel my policy outright and go with a different provider, only to find out that NONE of the Canadian carriers are offering anything but the 32GB variant of the Note5. WHAT THE HELL? Is this 2015 or 2005? If I wanted a 32GB phone, I'd go with a goddamn iPhone.
Now I think I'm stuck with the Edge Plus, not that it's a terrible phone, I just personally don't care for the curved screen as it makes reading text and viewing certain things seem rather annoying, since it can "bend" around the corners of the screen (maybe I'm just used to a flat-screen device, and in time will get used to this thing).
I'm going to see if I can reverse the upgrade altogether and get out of my contract entirely, but knowing Rogers (and even though it's only been 4 days since I renewed my policy) I'm likely screwed or will have to pay $$$ in early cancellation fees. However, if it's feasible, it might be the better option, cancelling my plan outright, paying any and all fees and buying an unlocked or AT&T version of the 64GB Note5 -- rather than settling for a phone I dislike from the get-go.
Bastards.

maybe buy an internation unlocked version? if you're using it on a GSM network, of course. check the supported bands.

yea i am really disappointed myself. having the extra space would be nice. however, there are ways to work around it. I have everything synced up to google drive with 1TB of storage. for daily use i never have an issue with space. when i go on vacation or am away from the house for a while i just access everything on gdrive and download it to my phone when i have watched whats on there already. its easy enough to find wifi in most places.
I checked with Samsung Canada and was told that the 64GB for the Note 5 will be arriving soon. They did not give me the exact date though.

I'm a total noob so apologies if this is a ridiculous question. I am also looking for a 64gb N5 for Canada.
I use Wind in Canada. Their web site says,
"The WIND Mobile network uses a frequency called AWS, with bands 1700/2100 MHz".
They list their 32gb Note 5 as:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900
UMTS: B1(2100),B2(1900),B4(AWS),B5(850)
Now, there is a Taiwan seller of the Note 5 that offers a 64gb version (with dual sim) and they say the phone has:
Cellular Band (2G GSM): GSM850, GSM900, DCS1800, PCS1900
Cellular Band (3G): B1(2100), B2(1900), B5(850), B8(900)
Cellular Band (3G TD-SCDMA): B34(2010), B39(1880)
Cellular Band (4G FDD LTE): Band 1,2,3,4(AWS),5,7,8,12,17,18,19,25,26,28
Cellular Band (4G TDD LTE): B38(2600), B39(1900), B40(2300), B41(2500)
Note that 4th line, which contains AWS. However, it's also the LTE line, which Wind doesn't have.
So, what's the deal here? Will the Taiwanese phone work on Wind or not?
Thank you!
Was checking out the note 5 and s6 edge plus in a Rogers store today. They each have less than 10GB free! WTF?
I've gotta get off the Samsung train I think...
As has been stated before, the store demo phones are loaded with apps and stuff. A new 32GB Note 5 has approx 22GB free.

I hope when you receive your Note 5, it's 64GB, but I have a funny feeling it's 32GB.

The seller on Ebay said it will work fine on both networks. I can see that the Korean version doesn't have the 1700 band, but I don't think it will be such a big deal.
