I dont see the need for galaxy s II variants since the phone has quad band 3g support , but with samsung you never know , hopefully they just put out the original version of the sgs II , variants will slow down updates, what do you think? last time it was a mess with the updates
I hope they will release in us. Otherwise the developer support will be small.

You can be almost 100% certain there will be US variants, at least to the point of adding in support for their 3G and 4G networks for which the stock doesn't have. Specifically T-Mobile and Verizon will definitely have to add in their bands seeing as how AT&T is ready from the stock device. Now, whether or not the carriers will have to lessen or get rid of any other spec to fit their setup is the big question here. I am really hoping nothing gets changed besides the addition of the extra bands, but I have a feeling that may be aiming a little high.
US carriers always wants to make "their" phones look different just to confuse the heck out of people, and be able to call it "their own"
so yeah, it's almost guaranteed we'll seem some minor changes here and there.
hopefully nothing ugly like what they did with the first release of Galaxy S... missing FFC, missing flash, missing memory, missing hard button, etc
each carrier had something slightly missing

t mobile and at & t have NOTHING to change to the original model, verizon and sprint are the ones that need changes because they work with cdma devices, but i would like samsung to stick with the galaxy s II name, it's stupid to confuse the users im guessing sprint will get another version with a keyboard

Can't post a link yet due to post count but just do a google search for "pocketnow galaxy variants" and it should be the first result.

No idea what carrier gets what but it's looking like 3 carriers will carry this (my guess is the standard, AT&T/T-Mobile/Verizon).

Nice. I'm slightly more excited now.
Sure, I believe that there will be SGSII variants in the US however, they will be not be released in the next few months because of the delay for the launch in Europe and Samsung's habit of releasing phones a couple months late in the US. Heck, I don't even know why they do this when our country gave them the most SGS sales out of any country in the world.
There will be at least GSM variant and CDMA variant. But other than that, I wish the carriers won't create fragmentation.
It's very likely the original Galaxy S is Quadband WCDMA supported by hardware. I hear people use 1700 on Captivate and use 850 on Vibrant by mixing modems. GS2 should have at least the same ability.
Just one device for all markets, and ensure our updates

I couldn't care less if they came out with 10 variants. It's the original or nothing for me. No way in the world am I making the same mistake again.

I think the model numbers will be different.
The international Exynos version has model number GT-I9100.
There is a high chance tthat they release one here in the US and although I won't like the differentiation or the increased length of time for updates, because of the community here I'm sure I would be able to keepy phone updated wwith a great ROM with the newest firmware.

If you wait, you'll always get better tech.
That page has a big mistake at least for UK phones: The GS2 has 1.2 GHz Cpus nto 1.0GHz so in real life there would probably be not much difference. The Screen size is personal preference and the download speed for the GS2 isn't supported by UK networks yet so you probably won't see any difference in speeds there. On Vodafone HSDPA+ I haven't got more than about 6Mb/s.
All applicable if in the UK of course.

For some reason, T-Mobile's not getting a SGS2 variant. The Hercules is a modified version of the U.S. only AT&T Infuse. It won't have USB2G, Wi-Fi Direct, or Bluetooth 3.0. It'll have a dual-core SoC but it's not intended to be as premium a device as the SGS2. Think SGSZ.

If you're on T-Mobile and don't want to change carriers, then yes, it's probably a better choice. It'll be loaded with T-Mobile crapware and you'll be forever dependent on T-Mobile for updates. It won't sell in nearly the same quantities as the SGS2 and its U.S. variants so it will most likely have less dev support. Also, because it's using a unique SoC a lot of the dev work might not be easily portable from other Samsung phones. Look at the Infuse dev forum and it should give you an idea of what to expect in terms of dev support.
The Nexus Prime should have all bands available for worldwide use. You could take a look into that.
Yeah Nexus Prime will be the phone to rule them all (for awhile).

Early 2011 like january or feb 2011? It's great to get the 2011 reg plated vehicle right?
but into the last couple of months of 2011 and you might want to hold on until 2012 for the latest and best vehicle.
Others may wait for 2012 just SO that they can buy the 2011 model, which is just as good for alot cheaper. A bit like all the iphones then... uh oh! I said the forbidden word.

Nothing about that article says the Galaxy Note is coming to AT&T.
In fact if you look at the model number, it's clear that the version that just went through FCC approval will never be sold by AT&T. Usable on AT&T - yes. Actually sold by AT&T - no.
AT&T phones have a model designator starting with SGH. SGH-I897 (Captivate), SGH-I997 (Infuse), SGH-I777 (AT&T GSII)
International generic units have a model designator starting with GT. The unit in that article is GT-I9220. So it's an international model that, while it will work on AT&T's network, will NEVER be sold by them in a contract-subsidized fashion. AT&T has NEVER sold a GT model on contract in the United states. If history is any indicator, if the Galaxy Note is ever sold by AT&T, it's going to be about a six month latency before the AT&T version drops. (See, for example, the delay between the GT-I9100 and the SGH-I777)

How would one obtain an international version for T-Mo then? Or is it a possibility that they will pick it up?
If it's like the I9100, an International variant supporting the T-Mobile bands won't exist. T-Mobile may or may not sell their own variant.
The heavy customization of the T-Mobile GS2 is a sign that you likely won't see the Note sold on contract with TMo or even any compatible with their 3G bands.
I'm happy with my Streak...even if it is still running 2.2.2, but, I'm looking at the Note also. If it gets to at&t before summer of 2012, I'll grab it.
Is it going to have a notifications led light?

I've carried the 5" streak in a velcro closing belt loop case for over a year w/o any problems. The Note, with the 5.3" screen has less top & bottom than the streak does, so it won't be all that different

I think the Note would be great for me, especially at work where carring even a 7" pad would be restrictive. I would use the stylus to write my notes all day long at work.

I've had the streak in my pocket every day since December 26 2010. Not an issue at all, if it is then you haven't owned one or have a very small figure or wear skinny jeans. I can't wait for the Note to come out, it will be in my pockets daily as my personal phone, along with my Atrix work phone. And BTW, the Streak is more often in my front pocket than back.
I've had the S2 since Friday and I love it. However, I have had my eye on the Note since I heard about it last month. Looks like a lucky family member will be getting my S2 once the Note come out If I don't like the Note then I'll take my S2 back, I can because I'm indian.
I'm trying to decide whether to buy the AT&T Galaxy S II or the GS2 Skyrocket. I currently have the Motorola Atrix.
I love Samsung's Android devices and I have a Samsung Captivate collecting dust. I miss Samsung and I'm coming back. Should I just get the GS2 or should i get the Skyrocket. I have never owned a device with a 4.5" screen and I don't know if that is too big. Finally, what device has better development support? I want to get a device that has the better support as well as the one that is most likely to get Android 4.0 before June 2012.
Thanks to all of those who help!

I am planning on getting the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 soon but I am going to buy it unlocked. Is it possible to root an unlocked phone. I have not seen any guides on Youtube or online yet that show guides on rooting a certain unlocked phone. I want to root it as soon as it is possible to root it safely. I am going to buy it unlocked but I am not going to get a plan from T-Mobile from it until January. My main question is: Is it possible to root a smartphone that does not have a sim card in it and is bought unlocked and if there is what guide do I use(like do I use the guide for how to root the galaxy note 3 tmobile edition or att edition or verizon edition.) Can someone please answer by September 4th.

The video you would follow is the one for the international unlocked version. For example to root the unlocked international Galaxy S4 I would go to the Galaxy S4 I9500 section on XDA and then look for a root guide or if your looking for a video guide on site such as YouTube I would search on YouTube "root Galaxy S4 I9500" and follow the root procedure for the Galaxy S4 I9500 device model. So when you get the unlocked international version of the Galaxy Note 3 you see what model number is has and would Google or search on YouTube something similar to "root Galaxy Note 3 international" or "root Galaxy S3 (insert international unlocked edition model number here. The international edition is the standard globally carrier unlocked edition that can be used with any carrier's SIM's that support the phones radio basebands. If you still have any questions let me know and I can try and clear them up for you.

That is correct if you buy it straight form Samsung your buying an unlocked International version. As far as 4G LTE compatibility, Samsung is likely going to release an international unlocked model that is compatible with United Sates LTE bands on most carriers. The new trend for devices is to have global LTE capability that is compatible with LTE networks in both the U.S.A, Europe, and other places across the globe.

In my own opinion the jury is out on the HTC One Max as it's HTC's first attempt at a phablet format device I would have read a bunch of reviews, get users opinions, and try it out for myself before I could render any real opinion on it. That being said it does look like a promising device, however I would give the edge to Samsung because they have a proven track record of success with the Galaxy Note series of devices. And don't worry your questions are perfectly acceptable and are as far from irrelevant as it gets so keep them coming I'll be happy to answer them!

For the HTC One Maxx I would predict it to be around $800-$850 in price. The main thing that could make it more expensive then the Galaxy Note 3 is HTC likes to use "premium materials" such as machined aircraft grade aluminium.

Yeah you are correct. Do you know if they are going to be launching a Galaxy S4 with a snapdragon 800. If they do then and if I get it and root it specifically by it's model number then will I be able to find ROMS for it. My exact question is: Will the same ROMS that work for the original Galaxy S4 work with the Galaxy S4 with the Snapdragon 800 processor? I wouldn't think there would be a difference because the processor has nothing to do with the ROM but I was just wondering just in case because the Galaxy S4 with Snapdragon 800 could be classified as a totally different phone and have separate roms for it or something.

The a updated international version of the Galaxy S4 with the model number GT-i9506 containing LTE-A (LTE Advanced) and a Snapdragon 800 recently was seen in a FCC filling leading to the belief that we may see that coming to the U.S.A soon. More info on the updates Galaxy S4 can be found here. As far as ROM's are concerned, ROM's that work on the original Galaxy S4 will very likely not work on the new updated Galaxy S4 if and when it is released because as you mentioned both devices will be classified as two completely different devices with different model numbers meaning different ROM's. Even though devices have similar hardware, ROM's that are designed for a particular device model are meant to work on that device model only. Any ROM's for the old Galaxy S4 would have to be ported to work on the new Galaxy S4 if and when it is released, due to them still being two different device models.

Glad I could help, currently I do not have the power to lock threads but what you could do is edit your thread title to something along the lines of this "[Q][SOLVED]Rooting an unlocked device", that way other users who have similar questions and who are looking for similar information in the future can know that there is information that may help answer the same question they were going to ask.
