What are the real differences w/ Verizon Note 2 vs to other Note 2 versions? And I am not talking about stickers. What is the differences in hardware, software and overall experience? And are they giving multitasking out the door? Etc...

Anything right now about this is just pure speculation.
Right now it is thought they are pretty much identical to Sprint / AT&T models, except for maybe multi-window feature. It seems like there are updates that have been rolled out/will soon be available by carrier and a modified ROM that is supposedly going to be released on XDA that has the feature.
only known difference is home button branding on verizon only.
tmobile and att have wireless charging contacts exposed on back panel
sprint does not

I thought the leads on the Sprint version were covered up by something.
There are some different pre-installed apps on the various carrier branded versions. Hardware is the same as far as I know, minus possibly the battery. I think carriers may also offer slightly different color variations as well, similar to the SGS3. For the most part though, Samsung has stopped making 400 different configurations of one phone and are making one phone and just changing the software around for the various carriers instead.
I'm curious if the Verizon version will be quad-core.

There's no need to be curious. It is quad-core.
Hardware will only be different in color/branding, and any changes to the radio chips/firmware so they work with VZWs network. Other than that, all devices should be the same from a hardware standpoint. Software is where most of the differences will be, but most of the stuff should be the same as well, with only a handful of carrier specific apps being different.

Where?
If it is a rep I wouldn't read too much Ito what they say. Without NFC that means no sbeam which seems unlikely

Are you referring to the website comparison? If so, Verizon already said that was a mistake. I second the sbeam logic.

Samsung Music Hub is part of the features of Samsung Galaxy Note II (Verizon) Check out Samsung support site for Verizon version. The site doesn't mention NFC, but Samsung's support page for T-Mobile's Note 2 doesn't show NFC either even when that device has NFC. The NFC is part of Samsung Music Hub so you can "beam" music. So I take that Samsung Galaxy Note II (Verizon) as having NFC. And yes, the support site does confirm the S Beam.

While it won't stop me from purchasing the phone, I have used NFC on my GNex like crazy. I love Gwallet and being to bump stuff over to my Nexus 7 and back. So for me, it matters a little bit
NFC is there on Verizon version. And there is a hack that gets Google Wallet installed into Galaxy Note 2 and running.
The main question is "When can our community find a way for us to get around the bootloader locked?", so we can root these babies.

Hey, i was just wondering if ther is anyway of telling which S4 you have, by build number or anything like that?
I have the quad-core version of the phone with qualcomm (i think) 4G (it had the sticker on the top of the phone when it was new), but i live in the UK, i got this because im with EE which is a 4g provider in the UK but i was just wondering if anyone could help me distinguish which version of the S4 i have before ROM's and other goodness are put on to it

No - on both counts. Sprint is a CDMA network. No GSM phones - AT&T included - will work on Sprint.
Sprint uses an esn master list. If that phone isn't on it it can't be activated. (Only Sprint phones are on the list btw)

I work at sprint and I can tell you right now, he either traded it for a sprint s5 or he didnt get sprint. NO GSM phone works on our network. The only exception is the Nexus 5. Thats it. Nexus 5 no more. no less.
I believe you. Now that i think about it, the guy seemed shady and not trust worthy..can any of the sprint phones unlock and go to GSM networks? I've heard that the Sammy s4 can do it.

Can the s5 talk and use 3g at the same time? I know the sprint g3 can't do that.

Yes. LG G2 and G Flex, HTC One (m7) and One Max, Moto X, Galaxy S4, Note 3 (if Sprint processes the international unlock first), and iPhone 4s and 5 can all be unlocked for GSM use

The unlock that Sprint does is not a true factory unlock, since the phone can only be used in other countries if they do it. All of the above phones can be truly factory unlocked for use with any GSM carrier in the world, even in the US. I wouldn't say the iPhones are free, and it's not technically a factory unlock. But for all the Android models, yes. You just need to have the tools and the knowledge. I run my own business doing software support for smartphones and tablets, and Sprint unlocking is something that I do lots of.

Hi guys I've been offered one of these , can I flash a stock firmware and gain all functionality apart from 3g? So basically I would end up with Bluetooth/WiFi gear s.

Maybe depending on the model number 9 have slight experience with this actually. There is a WiFi variant of the gear s most people don't talk about
I know it won't be officially released in the US but will the be a version that supports TMo USA LTE bands like 71?
Edit. Ok so it looks like it will be released by T-Mobile in the US so no longer a problem

Hi, I purchased a non carrier International Unlocked Oneplus 7T Pro HD1910 phone. Will it function as a T-Mobile phone by inserting SIM card as T-Mobile or do I have to flash any firmware to get the T-Mobile features I'm not talking about activation but features. Are the members of this thread using their phones in the US or just international? Thank you.

Why would inserting a Sim card change the software/software? If you've bought it international, it comes with international firmware.

From what I've seen, and experienced on other phone, there is very good chance you will never get LTE speeds. Definitely not band 71.
I'm waiting for the T-Mobile version.

Wow that's going to suck I guess I'm going to have to return it. The phone's going to be delivered to me this Wednesday. So the bands are a hardware issue not software correct? I thought by buying an international version would be better for rooting. Oh well back it will go. Thanks for the info.
I have got LTE speeds and band 71 on previous Oneplus unlocked phones, so I dont know what the previous poster is talking about. My advice would be pop your sim in and see for yourself before you draw any conclusions.

That gives me hope, but are your phones international unlocked? I would really want it to work. Guess we'll find out. Thank you.
So maybe that will be the difference since at the moment the pro 7t is only sold over seas. Idk. I'd still wait to test before jumping to conclusions about LTE connectivity and speed and such.

If you get a T-Mobile SIM card and have them activate it, either via phone or in-store, the phone should act as their's. My phone (HD1910) does.
There will be an exclusive T-Mobile "OnePlus 7T Pro 5G" released soon.

I did the same when I originally bought a OnePlus 7 Pro -- I took the SIM out of my LG V10 to get it working. I was just covering the bases when I had T-Mobile send me a new SIM card after returning the OnePlus 7 Pro and before getting the OnePlus 7T Pro (keep in mind that SIM cards get updated/upgraded and I wanted the latest).
What kind of speed are you getting on Tmobile without band 71?
