Doesn't ATT include the headphones? I believe that ATT should use the original boxes, but they obviously won't. Why I hate ATT and all other U.S carriers.

I doubt there is a warehouse somewhere where AT&T is paying people to yank phones out of samsung boxes and shove them into AT&T boxes. They ship like this.
Hah...I guess I'm not surprised that at&t decided to take out those headphones. And on top of that, they're shipping it in their annoying looking boxes. That's the 1 thing I hate the most about these US carriers....to go along with their carrier branding on phones to "differentiate" themselves....like come on.....
Video posted by OP....that must be either the Telus or Bell version for Canada? I hear Rogers is the only one out of them 3 that brands their phones.
But...will those Canadian Note versions work with at&t LTE though??

Wow, even worse then the infuse! At least the infuse had the hdmi feature, still love that idk if this can do that. Anyway, i was looking forward to replacing my infuse earphones that have been washed twice (and are still fine just have some stuff on them)! Hopefully they can seriously push the ics update quickly, idc if its semi working, our devs will be able to finish it in tenth the time of att and sammy. Att is really cheating out the customers here in almost all ways.
I'm sorry if I sound cynical, but who the hell uses those cheap headphones anyways? Plus, they're the same ones you all received with your last Samsung phone, so why do you need two pairs? Yeah, the nice box would be cool to have, but that's not what you carry around with you.
ATT is probably saving money, being greener with a cheaper box, and probably preventing a lot of headphones from sitting inside a box in an ATT bag tucked in a closet somewhere, just like the ones from my infuse are.
If you really care that much about them, that's kind of sad, because they have to be some of the worst sounding earbuds that I have ever used. And I thought skullcandy made crappy headphones.
I agree, the little extras with something this expensive and nice are awesome, but they're nothing to lose sleep about. Imho, the note is worth much more than the extra 100 bucks it will cost me compared to my infuse, so I'm guessing ATT did it to cut back on their losses that they're taking on the phone subsidization.

The box will be great for when people sell their Samsung galaxy note on ebay in a year when Samsung comes out with a 7 inch "phablet". In no way am I hating on the note because I am getting one. It just seems the phones are getting bigger and bigger -- which I personaly like.

I think people stop calling it a phablet at 7" and just call it a tablet--but I'm sure there will be 5.5" or 6" phablet/tablets at some point too. Also, the Tab 7.7 does have phone software installed, in case you want to hold that thing up to your ear.
i'm sure at&t prob saved $5-$10 per box by not getting the headphones with the note... if you multiply that by lets say 250000 people thats quite a savings as stupid as it is lol.

if it is the same model then it should. depends on the frequency lte bands that it uses. there are different bands in the 700mhz frequency range.
I know the note for at&t supports both of at&t's LTE bands. 700mhz, band 17 I believe, and 1700mhz AWS band which they are going to be using shortly as well in some areas.
If the box is open, the box won't do much of anything for resale costs. And I'm sorry to whoever was looking forward to the headphones, that's an understandable situation. For the most part however, people are nitpicking, when the device is what matters the most, and the other stuff likely wont be a deal breaker at all.

Wow, people are actually complaining about cheap headphones and the box that it comes in.
Here's an idea. If you care that much about that buy a fruit product (cough) Apple. They come with cheap headphones and a nice box.
BTW the current LTE Samsung smartphone that AT&T sells (Skyrocket) Comes with headphones and they are quite nice actually.

Sell the iPhone 4S and buy the galaxy s2. I was able to sell my 4S for 580 and I often got 550 offers. I bought my Galaxy S 2 at 400 bucks.
i would trade it if I were you....unless you want to try to sell the iphone. it should sell for quite a bit.
Just make sure that the GS2 isnt scratched/dented/chipped and in perfect condition... otherwise sell your 4S and buy a brand new GS2.
Yeah the guy said its a few weeks old, and it had a screen protector + case on first day so no damage. Which I believe as my 4S is from launch and also not even a scratch even though its all glass.
That is true. I put my 4S on ebay actually with a buy it now of 550 and nothing 4 days later =/. Also they don't even sell the SGS II here (washing it away with the LTE markets coming and the skyrocket). Also having to go through paypal and ebay taking money from me selling, and then buying is kind of a drag. Along with the fact that I would need a phone right away, don't have any other AT&T phones to use in the mean-time. I think I'm just going to do the trade, the guy lives close to me and were meeting at an AT&T store in order for me to get a regular sim as the iphones use micros. Can't wait to root the hell out of it.

But seriously... if you cant wait, or dont want to do the Ebay/Paypal thing, then trading is a great way. Also, you can try craigslist... no Ebay/Paypal involved there (I advise to meet in a high-populated area... like in front of a Target or Best Buy).
I actually meant to write craigslist in the initial post lol my bad about that. And were meeting at an AT&T store. Guy seems very genuine so I think it should go well. I need to get the standard SIM for the GSII anyway so I told him to meet an at&t store which is about 5 minutes away from me so no worries there.

Sounds good. Good idea about meeting in front of AT&T. I always advise people to meet in a highly populated area if meeting a stranger... no need to create a possibility for a dangerous situation.
Sounds like you will have your phone soon. Welcome to the GS2... you wont go back.
I went to iOS from android, biggest regret. the 4S was so hyped, and the death of SJ made me want it even more considering how poetic it all was. But now a month later I realize that it isn't for me and that flippin' grid of icons ughh
i love my s2, i came from apple so if that helps, if you want a phone that is simple and limited apple is for you, if you want a beautiful open ended phone that you can custimize this is for you. P.s. just sell the iphone u will make so much more, then buy the s2 they are going for 350-400
UPDATE- Got the phpne WOOO!!!! Guy actually gave it to me already rooted running unNamed v1.3.1. Is this a good ROM or is there better out there? Thanks

I've considered jumping over to the 4S for a very long time. I have an IPad 2 that I love just because it was free and its my college book. I think that is enough Apple in my life, sticking with SGS II for awhile, at least until SGS III hits the market.
I say sell the 4s. There are numerous people internationally that will buy the 4s at an inflated price. Use that to buy a new GS2. Also, watch out for eBay scams. A lot of users with addresses in Nigeria are creating fake invoices anf stealing people's items.

The best thing is there are plenty of options now. enjoy!
Arguably it being pre-rooted and already having UnNamed installed could be worth the money he missed out on. Still, welcome to Android. Converted from the 3GS to an Inspire 4G to a GSII. Both better than my iPhone ever was.
Ok so I'm sorry to ask this if it's been asked before. Deal is I have the Htc one x but my grace period is almost up. Really like the phone but I miss my Samsung. Thing is when is it supposed to if it does launch for AT&T. If it'll be not intil the late summer early fall then I'll just keep my one x. If it supposed to launch say in June. Then I'll wait for it and return the one x before the 30 days. I'm back to using my iPhone 4 and can't stand it.
AFAIK ATT is GSM so you can just buy one, pop in a sim and you're good to go.
I may be wrong.

Yes, Samsung international phones have typically been compatible with ATT. And as for the AT&T launch, they definitely said june but who knows.
Define defitely first. Then we will be able to answer your questions
Thanks. Guess I'll return the one x and save my upgrade for the gs3. It's odd though if it would be a June release wouldn't AT&T have announced it yet? Don't they usually announce them a few weeks before for preorders and such?
Yes I spelled definitely wrong.
Ya saw that lol. Tried to fix it but couldn't. Going from a 4.7" screen to the iPhones 3.5" it's hard to get back used to typing
If and when att gets the gs3 it will most likely be different in the hardware cause of LTE. It will be the same as the HTC one x has for att. The new s4 chip set.

Yeah not really thinking it'll be anytime soon. I wish I never sold my gs2. I really miss that phone . It's ok. I really like the one x but not as much as I did the gs2. So I think it'll be worth the wait for the gs3. I don't have lte in my area yet. Maybe later this summer. Just don't have the coin to shell out for the international version at the moment.

It seems HTC changed how app associations were handled for the US version of the HTC One X to avoid patent issues with apple ( http://www.theverge.com/2012/5/16/3...lte-custom-android-build-apple-patent-linkify). This caused some issues like the inability to view YouTube videos in the app when clicking on a video link in a browser web page (only open in the browser - boo). Samsung is caught up in patent disputes with Apple too so I wouldn't be surprised to see additional software differences from the international version...

AT&T will rape the SGS3 like they do every good phone, they can keep their LTE and their stupid yellow pages and everything else they might think I would want. And to make things even worse of course they will get rid of the physical center button.
Would something like say squaretrade work on this? Also I'm assuming (since I'm not in a hurry) the prices may drop come a month from now right?

these are some pretty good knock-offs though... check out their youtube channel...
thats where i found the link, in the New iPhone 5 knock off video... looks exactly like the iphone 5 and even has an apple logo come up on boot.. quad core too. Looks identical to iOS but really just an android set up themed. they definitely put some work into them for a Chinese company
Wow, one can buy a dual-simm non-android dumb phone - quad band GSM for $30 plus $10 shipping.
I also looked at Aliexpress who has them for under $30 with free shipping from China.
If it works, then this iphone look-a-like can be a very low cost emergency phone on a pay per minute T-Mobile USA plan. Being quad-band it should work in every country of the world. Of course, no data, just voice and sms/mms.
I looked at this and thought for a for a cheap phone for someone (who doesn't own a Global Mode phone) who traveled internationally... buy a prepaid local SIM card and away you go.
Or, some of these phone might make decent media players or micro-tablets... just disable the mobile radios and away you go.
But, yeah, not gonna work on Verizon... I wouldn't be surprised if they do sell a few to the US though, people who are not so tech savvy would just believe it, drop their CC number down, and then they get a phone that doesn't work for what they wanted, what are they going to do? Think that company is going to refund their money for a device that is not actually defective?
Although they have no warranty policy listed on their site, the "Buyer Protection" stuff they have listed in FAQ section does say it does not cover buyers remorse BUT it does cover the device for 45 DAYS from the date of payment, provided you buy it through their website! lol
Haha. That's awesome... gotta appreciate their entrepreneurial spirit! I'm sure they are full of junk components, but I guess if they work for a year or so, they can give you a good "look."
Folks who are getting the Galaxy Note 3 on Sprint who aren't being scared off by the FUD being spread in the triband thread, here's our own discussion topic!
Now that Sprint has officially announced the Galaxy Note 3 launch on October 4, let us discuss! It's kind of strange they haven't set up pre-orders yet. This leads me to believe they probably won't. With a little over a week left until the launch, it appears that those who order online won't be able to get it until October 7th/8th. Also heard rumors that Sprint won't have the pink option or 64GB version available. It sucks but oh well. At least 32GB is the base model this year!
What color are you getting?
Are you getting the Galaxy Gear smartwatch too?
Accessories?
-I'll be getting black, since white has LED light bleed.
-No Galaxy Gear
-I have two bumper cases (clear and white/black) and a crappy S-style tpu kickstand case with a few screen protectors. I'm not sure If I will get the flip cover yet.

I bought my SGII Epic 4G Touch through them back in 2011. I bought it for the same price as directly from Sprint while convincing them to give me a discount equal to the activation fee (~$36) - essentially to "waive" it. I also accumulated some best buy reward zone points
Best Buy is a fine option when purchasing on contract if you can find a deal. I'd probably look elsewhere for off-contract and full-retail purchases, though.

I have been doing a time analysis of how (email, calendar, social media, video's & gaming, music) and where (location) I use my phone the most etc..
I have come to the conclusion that the places where I happen to use my phone the most and during its most intense use of bandwidth also happens to be the places in which I have access to great wifi signal. I know this isn't how most folks use their phones but its really how I use my phone and when I don't usually have a great signal. I just pop out my mifi and I am having a great signal once again. Is it irritating that Sprint dropped the triband? Yup and Yup. Is it a deal breaker for me to go to a slower and smaller phone? Nope and Nope..
The things that I am more interested in hearing about is
What Dac are they using for the audio processor?
Can I use usb 3 as a digital for my audio amp?
What will the transfer speed be on my USB3 HD which is running a 500gb SSD
Battery life
Has anyone been able to use a 128GB sd card in the unit, and have it recognize all 128GB?
What screen protector works best in direct sunlight.
I wonder how the charging port lines up compared to the Note II. Hoping I can still use my Note II car cradle and charger

The Note 3 for Sprint will be a world phone. Love it!
So after 3 years and 4 months since I've owned Sprint 4g phones, a new tower in the area went live with LTE. Here's to hoping it doesn't take another 3 years for the tower near my home to be upgraded. I'm ready for my Note III....

How does that work exactly? Is there a GSM radio?
God I hope the gallery app isn't a laggy piece of crap again.. Even after disabling Facebook sync and all other sync options it was supper slow and laggy viewing photos in the app.

just so you know. I havn't had a problem with best buy increasing price for products but if that is the case, they price match with the carriers. they also give you the lower price for pre-orders. for example if you order an item and its fairly certain it will retail for say $50 and then release rolls up and it is $60 they will sell it to you for the $50. you may just have to mention it to the employee checking you out but the managers know whats up.
Can't link to BB price match due to new user =) but google "Best buy price match" and it will be the first link
I have had to mention the PM once and the employee just had to get the manager to sign off on it which he had absolutely no prob doing. took maybe 2 min after I had mentioned it. then the lady behind me did the same thing because she was there for the same product for her son I would assume.

Yes all the GN3's have CDMA, GSM, and LTE from what I know of.

I contacted the owner "Corey" from Trim Leather.
And he says he will have a line of cases out within 2 weeks for the Galaxy Note 3.
I know someone who has an Iphone case and the work is pretty awesome.
This will be my case for the GN3.
I have linked his page to the below.

With the new one up program, if i am eligible for a upgrade, do i have to trade in my phone.? Id like to keep it for my daughter. Also what exactly do you pay for when doing this? Any money up front? I appreciate any advice or insight
Did anyone get headphones in the box. Why did all reviews have those nice headphones. I'm not happy about this. I'm with AT&T and I spoke with lg and they said none of the carriers have them in the box.
No. T mobile

Vzw here, I didn't get any either.

No, they didn't include ear buds, which is weird, especially when some people who tested it got earbuds
I'm pretty sure only the international version gets the earbuds.
The international ones do, blame our carriers, they leave them out to save money but still charge the same for the phone. It's BS but it's been this way for a long time.

I think the International version released for 699. It was 599 on T-Mobile at least.

Yeah, I honestly gave up caring when I was still buying HTC products and they stopped including them. I always assume we're not getting them.
It is to make you buy a pair from the carrier sales reps to pad the ticket price and drive profits and commissions. Plus, how many headphones or earphones do you have from other phones or ones you have purchased elsewhere?

I have like 4 sets of headphones, what would I do with another pair anyway? I'd start to feel like a hoarder lol.
Lol that's true I do have many from old phones but these were made by a company that specially made them for the phone so I was hoping to get some pretty good sound from them plus they looked great.
The ear buds I saw in the review looked really nice and I would have been interested in trying them out but as others have pointed out I have tons from other phones and I don't even bother with any of them since I really enjoy my klipsche noise-isolating ear buds.
I had this discussion with my father today. He said "call LG I bet they'd send you some"
The problem is this is the 3rd phone carrier branded ive received with no headphones. No big deal but I was interested in these LG ones... They look great.. I do wish we got them.
Matt
Akg headphones are like $600+ on ebay.. lol

I think you mean to say the korean version because that's what all the reviewers got.
Outside korea might be a different story.
They say its free but they include it in the price, then a few months later the free stuff starts to mysteriously disappear and the price magically comes down.
In all this time the phone actually costs exactly the same.

I don't think its just the Korean version. The HK variant gets the headphones as well, and someone earlier in the thread said the international unlocked version comes with headphones. The phone retails for 699. I paid 599. So it has been my experience that in all this time the phone does not actually cost exactly the same as the version that gets headphones. Your experience may be different, but as a T-Mobile customer, I paid 100 dollars less and I'd gladly pay 100 less and not get the earbuds. We are also getting a 250 dollar sdcard, and an extra battery and charger. I'm not going to whine over not getting another set of earbuds to add to my collection.

I've checked those out before and not sure they are the same. They don't say Tuned by AKG, so is there a difference?
