So the ATT site shows the note for $649 off contract but they won't sell them online, says you have to go to a store to get one. So, I am wondering if I walk into a store if they will sell me one without a plan?
Once I have one from ATT can I just put my tmo sim in it and I'm good to go? Where can I find more information on this and is there anyone who can share experience of the ATT Note on Tmo's 2G network?
Thanks
You're better off in the international note forums for this, but a lot of the US users there have tmobile

Hmm, they bounced me and my post over here to begin with...
I also see that amazonwireless has the ATT Note for 250 with 2yr, and then a note that early contract termination is $325, that nets out at a price of $575, so now I'm wondering if I could just order the phone with the contract and cancel the contract the day after.

Do you hate ATT that much? The international version is already unlocked. Put yout tmobile SIM in it, enter the proper APN and your phone and EDGE data will work. If you get the ATT version you must first unlock it and then I am sure your voice will work but not sure on data.
I must give it to you T mobile people, you are persistent if nothing. I think we have like 4 threads on this between the two forums wondering how to get the Galaxy Note to work on T mobile.
I forgot to add I wish you all luck in getting it to work to your satisfaction!

If you are fine with edge then unlock the phone and put your T-Mobile sim in.
You can unlock your Note here:
http://www.cellunlocker.net/
Now, if you are interested in 3g... I will be working on getting it going as soon as I get my phone Wednesday. If anyone else would like to work on it let me know how it goes...
But there are plenty threads about this, try to search next time.
No hate here, the difference between 750 and 575 is pretty good. what's it take to unlock it?

Tried my work TMo SIM, had to go and manually select the APN. Using my Three UK sim picked up as roaming on ATT immediately.
Seems to work fine on TMo though.

I forget to say I wish you all luck! The difference is more than the $175 you are talking about. The difference is a great phone on LTE network versus at worse a phone that works on EDGE and at best 3G? Seems that would be worth the $175, but that is me. Again, all the Best! I offered my wife, who is on T mobile, use of my International GNote while I test drive the ATT version and she declined saying EDGE was too slow.

You're severely mistaken if you think the international version is a worse phone. And yeah? That huge LTE network AT&T has right?

huh? Who said that? Read... and then write. Seeing how I have the International version, I in no way think it is a worse phone. There was no comparison of phones only a phone on network(s). The ATT LTE network is huge where I live.
Ill share my story, got my galaxy note from Att yesterday for 299.99 plus tax. Unlocked it through cellunlocker.net. Entered the Tmobile apn settings for internet and mms. I don't mind the edge data connection because where I live its all I get. I'm planning to do a insurance claim (which is $200) keep my current note and return the new insurance claim note to Att before the 30 days to get my money back. Net cost of note is about $200~… edge works great on the note btw I recommend it on Tmobile if you don't mind the edge connection.

So your bragging about performing insurance fraud? Wow
Amazon Wireless usually has extra ETF's for their on contract prices. Read the fine print.
You would be paying $299.99+ tax ($320ish), then $325 ETF, then paying for unlock($20ish). Easily over $650. I say look at an unlocked International Note, save yourself the hassle and get the better processor while you're at it.

Is there any application I can use in the UK to pay via nfc. If not is there any unofficial way I can install an nfc payment app?

That's not a certainty. Besides, you said it would be here before the summer, which is incredibly unlikely.
It wouldn't surprise me if Google Wallet was still not in the UK in January 2013.

http://nfctimes.com/news/google-expand-wallet-europe-2012-rejects-wallet-war-scenario
Google wanted Wallet in a European city by the first half of 2012. That's not happened. Note that they only stated a European city, so, like I said, it's very possible that we won't see Wallet in the UK during 2012.
Furthermore, an article here shows that Google are moving very slowly with Wallet. They've openly stated that European banks are faster moving than American ones, yet the service is still US-only.
Google is not a company that is known for fast international rollout of services. I'd advise against waiting for Google, as it's almost certain that domestic services will launch before Wallet. It's annoying when you consider that the UK is a much better market for NFC payments than the US, but that's how Google works.
Rumours are still abound

He said before the summer, yeah, but that's not arrived yet (/me looks outside)
I wouldn't be surprised if Google says they're giving up on Google Wallet here in the UK, even though all they have to do is flick a switch to allow it here with pre-paid cards. All the technology is in place, and I've used it with my old Nexus S at the golden arches near here.
I didn't know Visa was actually going to be releasing their own app this year though, this is certainly interesting to hear. Has anyone seen the .apk for this in the wild yet, I'm really itching to give it a go!

It's all about the brand tie-ins at the moment.
I'm beginning to think that the first to do it will be Barclays - seems like a reasonable extension of their current Pingit app and contactless cards, and they are usually the first of the banks off the blocks with new tech. They've got some really solid well designed apps on the Play Store for their customers.

Has anyone tried changing the country to american in wallet account? Luckily i have a flat in America but i think it's fraud if you don't, so it might not be a good idea. Plus with the new credit and debit card options, you don't need a Google Prepay card for it to work, however, some people are saying that their virtual cards are denied. Any ideas?
Just seen a TV advert for a Visa app launching Dec 2013 for "compatible handsets".
Time will tell whether it's another false promise / not.

Ikr, little to no news since announced.
I check every few hours for a confirmed release date, looks like samsung nailed it with this one, willing to retire the Gear 1 for it.
I Found this
The Gear S is Samsung’s curved screen watch running Tizen (not Android Wear), and it'll be out in November for $449. The Gear Circle, a wraparound stereo Blue tooth headset, will be out at the same time for $179.

From an Australian website called gizmodo so I think the prices mean Australian Dollar so This are 311€.
Yes, If Samsung or carriers allow non- contract options. If U.S carriers treat the gear S with a monthly contract then No. I'm hopping Samsung will allow simple bluetooth connection for those who don't want to pay extra monthly payments to their cell carrier.

I tried today but the store did not have it in. I will try next week.
Before rushing to buy this watch one may have to consider this one http://www.phonearena.com/news/New-...s-CDMA-connectivity-coming-to-Verizon_id61105. It may run Android not Tizen.
I'm pretty interested in the Samsung Gear S, too. I'm looking forward to seeing it here in Japan.
I went yesterday, drove two hours to the Raleigh location, def big but very premium and nice looking, no doubt when wearing it that it is a smartwatch. Unfortunately the AT&T people knew nothing, I mean nothing lol I think they were surprised it was even sitting there ... fortunately I knew what I was looking at. Problem was it wasn't turned on, and wouldn't turn on, not sure if that's on purpose or this at&t just sucked, but I played with it and the note 4 both very nice devices!
Want really stoked about the note 4 until after I played around with it yesterday, and have been looking forward to the watch since unveil! Refreshing Google looking for a release date, pricing and how they plan to do the sim option.
Still has not appeared at the nearest AT&T store.
One thing I like about the note 4 is that its easy to get the sim card out. Could I just use that sim card an put it into the gear s when I needed to?
I know some of you all already have the watch. Would you all be able to try this out?
I'm unaware what Sim works with the Gear S. It could be micro or nano sim.
It's nano
In the UK I am using my own contract sim and it is working well
ah well i cant do that then. note 4 has a micro sim.
edit. Just read that the Gear S has a micro sim so maybe it will work.
edit 2 - Bisto321, what phone do you have now?
Gear S has a NANO sim, I also can insert any SIM I like and it works here in Switzerland.
ah well then. i can use the one in my note 4 then. unless i cut mine down to a micro an then used and adapter to make it work in the note 4...

Do you have to add it to a family plan or something
I am on the 30gig family share plan right now. I will be adding the gear s to that plan. but I dont need the cell hook up all the time on it. Was just going to use it as a BT watch and then when I need to just take the sim card out of my phone but for only 10 bucks a month I may just leave it.

oh ok so that would be good to use the Phone for "Emergency's only" per say. So that would be a good deal for you to buy on contract and if you decide to pay it off sooner is cool you have options
Well just left att. I bought the watch off contract and added service on it. Might as well try it out the way samsung made it. They had the gear circle there also but was sold out. Both the phone and circle are much nicer in person. Price on the circle was 100. I may get on off Amazon though.

The biggest issue I have with this statement, while not untrue, is that the S7 have quick wireless charging. I personally would not trust this feature to third parties yet, especially not "dirt cheap". Regular wireless? Sure, pretty common feature. But, quick wireless. Gonna have to splurge for the $50.00 Samsung pad
The free one isn't the quick charging pad anyway
