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..
Sent from my awesome GALAXY NOTE..
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.

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.

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 currently have the AT&T LTE version of the note
and someone is trying to trade with me for their international version (they have t-mobile) and i'm currently stuck at a crossroads,
i do love the home button on the international and the development they have going on in their forum. However, i feel like development here will start to pick up also (running saurom with holo kernal) i live in San Francisco where LTE is pretty strong for me but the exynos processor does also sound nice. So this is my dilemma, any advice would be appreciated!
Note: yes i did search the forum and have read all the posts regarding at&t vs international but they all go back and forth without solid opinions =/ that is perhaps why i'm stuck right now lol.
That up to u. U need to weigh the pros and cons. Warranty alone will keep me with att and I love my LTE!

thats one of the cons against the international on my list right now, the lack of warranty ):
I thought about doing the same. I'm just gonna stick with my AT&T version. Pros and cons with both. But also remember if you ever wanna sell it and get most of your dough back, you'll get more for the AT&T version being its LTE. Especially if you have LTE in your area.
That's big for me being I always get the latest and greatest.

well, if you don't care about LTE then go for international, if you care about LTE then stick with it.
i think Lte is important to me since i am in LTE area and using a relay video service for deaf people to communicate. i know its a little lags if its stock but i am waiting for ICS ROM.
its just a month and more developments may come in few weeks or so.
sorry for my bad english.

I say stick with the note, but that's really a question only you should decide.
I have the internation note and love it.u get abot 8mbps down and 1mbps up.thats not too bad.it looks lot better then att version and also it comes with 2 year warranty.if u have any friends oversees buy it.because u can change the csc anytime and get it fixed from any country.

The international one fetches more because people outside of the US can use it as well. It is the same with Verizon phones.. they sell for less because you can only use them on Verizon.

True, true. However the way i was looking at it is alot of cities are starting to get ATT's LTE. So he would have no problem getting top dollar for a newer LTE phone on Ebay, Craigslist etc. People over by me have them listed at $600 or more even ive seen. I have actually seen the International version on craigslist for cheaper, around me at least. I seen a guy today selling a few week old international Galaxy Nexus for $250 .
I guess it just depends where you are and if your area supports LTE. Than obviously the 4G note would get top dollar.
Hey if u don't do it I'm willing to trade him my ATT one for he international version.

Heck, I had a hard time trying to find a white AT&T Note for my Dark Blue Int but it's understandable. While I love my Int Note which will go to my mom once I get my AT&T Note from a seller on this board. LTE in my area is hard to past up which is the reason why I went to a White AT&T Note.
I am interested in trading my nexus for an unlocked note. I plan on using T-mobiles 4g on the note. The GPS is horrible on my nexus and the reason Im trading for the note is because I've read that it is great with gps. That's pretty much the only reason. What are your opinions, how is GPS on ur note? Let me know everything that u think. And I do plan on rooting the note.
Edit : I plan on running cm7 due to the responses here. I've read that it does great when it comes to GPS but I understand that its a hit or miss when it comes to GPS
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
GPS is hit or miss. Why not keep the nexus also? I'm starting to consider getting a gnex for when I don't want to lug this thing around, plus the updates. I've had this phone since release and have been waiting for ics for the source for the kernel got over clock and find myself waiting for jb ports now. GPS with ics radios is so so.

After the ICS update I can't get a hard lock without wifi on... Really sucks and there are a few more peeps with the same issue. It definitely was a winner with GB, but with ICS it's not (though I'm running stock ICS). If the price is right I say go for it, maybe you'll have better luck with Tmob 4G than I'm having with ATT LTE.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this, there are several of us who would be greatly appreciative.

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
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app
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.
