That's for the International Note. Completely different. Since they have the Exynos 1.4GHz processor, and we have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 1.5GHz processor, the ICS for the International Note will be mostly useless to us.
Coming from previous US Samsung phones on AT&T, we will be at least 3 months behind the international version due to the fact that our devices are carrier locked, therefore AT&T has to have its go at the device and add all of the bloatware to it. It definitely sucks, but it's something we have to deal with.
Hopefully somebody can pull some ish with our Notes like LinuxBozo did for the Infuse with his HellRaiser program. If not, we are at the will of AT&T.

I've heard about the new Vibrant 4G, and also the new Galaxy S2. My T-Mobile rep said the new Vibrant 4G was a dual core phone. But everywhere I've looked says its not. However I've heard the GS2 IS a dual core phone. So, are they two different phones? Can anyone help clear this up? Also, anyone know approx. release dates?
I won't be the only one to tell you this but people at T-Mobile don't have a clue! The Vibrant 4G is called the Galaxy S 4G and comes out on Feb 23. It has a 1GHz Hummingbird processor. Not dule-core. The Samsung Galaxy S II has the dule-core processor but will not even be released in the US until later this year.

Thanks for clearing that up! So, I'm guessing if I want to go dual core anytime soon, I'm just going to have to go with the LG Optimus 2X in early March.
Yep u r correct... the Gallaxy S II is one hell of a phone though. Google it and see if you think it is worth the wait.

Here is the Galaxy S II review on Engadget. Looks Nice!

But it's still Samsung. Don't give them any more money. They'll screw that one up like they have the SGS line, with poor support.

I resent that, but truth being told some of us have no clue, we're just people working a job and are trained to use tools to resolve issues. Not all of are all into phones to the extent on this site, truth be told only a handful of us root our phones. Guess who Vibrant users come see. Yeah, it sucks sometimes, but it is what it is.

My guess is this is likely for the international version. For the ATT version I would suggest ICS will take 2-3 more months to arrive. ATT does not know the meaning of moving quickly.
Idk Samsung pushing for a global simultaneous release for the gs3 so heres hoping the lag between updates is only a few weeks

akjdhflskdjlskdjfls i want it asap!!!
I think we have to hope for CM9, tbh. Samsung is definitely making good progress on ICS for international Note and GS2, but these devices (AT&T Note and Skyrocket) are both gated by AT&T, and running completely different hardware. I had an Infuse for a while, which got gingerbread from AT&T at the end of January. Hopefully that is not indicative of the delay we'll see for ICS on the Note, but I'm not holding my breath--I have literally no faith in AT&T's ability to deliver updates in a timely manner.
Like Dave said, it's probably for the international version. Although my guess would be that you might be able to upgrade it anyway

That won't happen.. they have to clear the firmware through att first and I guarantee att doesn't even have it yet so a few months after they get it is what you should count on.

We will get ICS later down the road.

First off i wanna say KUDOS to all the devs working on CWM, ROMS etc.
I really enjoy my i717 but since we can't install any custom ROMS im feeling that maybe i should switch to the N7000.
I just wanna ask the rest of the XDA community what do you think? Switch or wait it out?
Sent from my SGH-I717R using XDA App
The Snapdragon variant hasn't even been out for a week yet... Give it some time, ROMs will come soon.
IMO, if you can live without LTE.. well then switch.
Well LTE is what's hindering my decision as LTE here in Toronto Canada is just blazing fast.
I played with an i9100 which has ICS and wish we could have it on our notes too.
From several post here ICS isn't coming to our i717 notes anytime soon
I know the devs are great and patience is something we all have to have.

If you live in an LTE area, I would keep the i717 a bit longer. How long can you keep it? If not for LTE, I would not mess with the i717 especially after my IV just received the LB1 update. I just know ics is around the corner for the international version! I like the i717 but since getting it Sunday, I am concerned about battery life...will give it a few more cycles. Sure does not last like the HSPA version!

I just ordered a white international note.. but am gonna keep my att white note as backup. I feel like the att note should be much more. But is lacking and has too much bloatware . Yea i could root and stuff. But this is my work line. Etc..

So I traded my i717R for an N7000 and I couldn't be happier. The Note N7000 seems to be a lot faster but I'm gonna miss the LTE speeds.

Just want honest opinion don't care about price or weather I have LTE on it I have the EVO LTE but also want the s3 .
Issue is I really don't want another contract with sprint .
So I'm leaning to the interational one its my first int device and like the community but the two gigs ram is attractive
Thanks people

since u were nice enough to pm, i'll answer and I think u should do the US version, it's gonna have the dual core which outshines the current quad cores, plus you would have working LTE here instead a slower data, assuming you live in the states, and witht he 2gb of ram, can't really see a reason to go international...
I'm in the same boat but you need to factor in faster dev support on the int compared to the US. If you're a constant flasher like myself, its a hard decision to make.
Here are my pros (YMMV)
Int:
Quad Core
Better GPU
32/64gb int storage (I believe there are 32gb flavors out there)
faster dev support
US:
LTE
2GB
cheaper (i believe full retail is 549.99 or 599.99, correct me if I'm wrong)
I'm in Canada and decided to go LTE because it should still be able to work in Europe when I go. But it has better hardware.
The downside to the international in NA you will be stuck on the EDGE/CDMA network, which is a major downside.

the international phone is GSM, won't work on Sprint. why not just get the phone from sprint off contract?
Just curious as it's not mentioned. With the Sprint release on the 21st, will you still be in 30 day return window on your EVO LTE?
If not get the Sprint SGSIII.

Well I got both lol I forgot to cancel one they the international one came and I might as,well keep the us version I just gave one of my epic touches to my dad lol .. I see all your points my curiosity got the best of me about the quad core not for the CPU but more the Mali400 is sounding a tad better than adreno 225 .

Well at the time the off contract was not available yet it is but thinking its near impossible to get a good price if u want to sell a us version phone without taking a huge hit eg if I want to sell after 14 days yea I can put it at its close to full price but cutting contract is a major drop many more people in my experience buy unlocked devices myself included I'm hating sprint service over all on the lte and epic touch is horrid in the new England area .
I got both cause I will let my gf use the us one maybe lol but as of now I'd rather play with the over clocking and roms in the international forums .
Dev support should be great but as u see in the us sgs2 we are still using repacked stock kernels ..
To many politics over here thus why people say the int version will have more support .. I'm not sure that's true I mean numbers don't lie us and Canada are gonna be big on the dev scene but updates and proper source plague us in the us

Like me? I have an upgrade available and I figure I should use it ASAP. I'd go for the SIII but no international support (FYI: Note II does not have a removable SIM. grr)
way too big to be used as a phone for me..
I plan on it, though on tmobile rather then sprint
I'm going to get the note 2 on Verizon.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
I'm a little miffed as to why the note 2 doesn't support SVDO while it's GS3 counterpart does. Even so it's still a toss up between the note and the S3 for me.
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
All of the phablets are too big for me. Hell, even the new 4.7" screens while very nice to look at, seem outside of normal size to me. I'd probably go GS3 if Sprint retention would offer any reason for me to upgrade my contract, but since they won't and CM10 keeps my MoPho alive and kicking, no need to spend the money.
I plan to at least check it out tomorrow. If I like it enough I will pay full price for it. Now way am I locking it into a 2 year extension when Sprint doesn't even know if LTE will ever come to my area. If I don't like it, I may settle with the Iphone. Either way the Photon has got to go.
This guy is, my photon and evo 3D are both out of commission(photon dropped, signal is rendered useless) (evo 3d, failed digitizer), so, why pay to get those fixed right now when I can buy a beast!!!....with the latest version of Android...and a cool pen,lol, but i'll still get my photon and evo repaired in my leisure time, but the note 2 is gonna be my daily driver for a long....long time

Bought a S3 off contract from some poor fool on craigslist who needed money badly.. 200 dollars was a steal. Note 2 looks pretty tempting, but i've got a while to wait till my contract is up. I have LTE at my house and various places around town and it's pretty nice. Battery life is better than WIMAX. Probably wait till the next big thing comes out.

Sprint's version has embedded SIM....thus outrageous international rates.
I was going to get this, but the lack of international sim support makes it useless for me, I have about 5 upgrade eligibility's that I can't use because of sprints stupid policy of embedding sim cards. Sprint has yet to release a world phone other than iphone's since the photon and I may have to change carriers if they don't release a world phone again.
Maybe later...
I tried it out and the size didn't seem to feel any different in my pocket (I was using a friend's) and probably would upgrade but I plan on moving in a few months (moving for school) and probably should wait to see what area I'd be in first especially since I seem to use my phone for everything but a phone most of the time.
If you're like me and don't like the embedded SIM, pay attention to this thread!

What don't you like about the Photon as a world phone might I ask? Iphone blows as a world btw.
And I went with the GS3. It was a better fit. Note was too big along with some other things like screen I didn't like.
