[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DeRock13:
I had 2 Streaks and both were faulty. I was upset because I rather liked the phone and no one had any in stock anymore. Thankfully, I was able to get my Infuse on release day. I'm so excited for this phone though, it is just begging for my attention. I plan on sketching a lot with it.

Please forgive my ignorance but will an unlocked i717 work on T-Mobile?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bkeaver:
yes but you will only get 2G data speeds
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Cactoes Gel:
So I'm better off getting the international version then huh?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigmout:
No, you'll only get 2G data on T-Mobile no matter which version you get.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Cactoes Gel:
I know, but the intl version looks like it has a lil better specs. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] emcnelly:
In your case honestly if you have the money definitely go with the International you lose the only "advantage" the AT&T version has unless of course you can somehow get it subsidized though I figure you'll be paying full price.

Just got our mocks in at best buy. This thing is awesome and I haven't even played with a live one yet haha

Nice!! glad we have our own forum now and don't have to hear from the Buyers Remorse Crew.. BRC

Do you know when we can preorder from BB and get the $50 gift card?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] imitenotbecrazy:
Haven't gotten official word from corporate yet but an att Rep of mine told me that we'll be doing 5th preorders as well. You would get it the 19th instead of the 17th though. Also the $50 promotion only applies to upgrades just so you know
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] HarmonyFlame:
But can the gift card be used toward that upgrade transaction?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimocal:
I signed up both my wife's and my number for the $50 BB promo. My line is eligible for upgrade but hers isn't till later this year. She's interested in the Note too so can she get in on the promo deal even though she isn't eligible till later this year?

I'm also on the grandfathered 3g unlimited data, so will my line get bumped to unlimited 4g data?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] imitenotbecrazy:
It was actually made to entice ppl to come back when theyre eligible. So yes it will work for your wife later on. And yes your 3g unlimited will turn into a 4g lte unlimited plan. If your don't use more than 3gb a month though, I suggest going to the new data plan as you won't be throttled
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gordec:
The thing I don't know about the ATT BM pricing is whether it will be cheaper in certain areas like the LG Nitro. Nitro was $250 during announcement and $150 in LTE covered stores during release date.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] brianlp:
Isn't the Note pretty much the same size as the Samsung Galaxy Player I saw at Best Buy? I was playing with that a few months back to get a feel for having the Note.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ngocdao:
If you have a nintendo 3ds, close it, hold it vertically. Then add half inch to the width & height. thickness is equiv to the 3DS screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ryanscool:
Its .3 inches bigger. I think its thinner and has a way better build quality too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] borijess:
Will the cases for the international note work on the att versions? All holes match up?

Sent from the SuperStreak! ;-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ryanscool:
Thats a really good question. I would think so.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ngocdao:
Should be same like how the i717..most cases should work and s/ps wont fully matchup
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DeRock13:
Very promising! Can't wait until Wednesday (payday!) so I can secure my White Note!

Also, I wish I could have been there to celebrate the split, but my Infuse bricked when updating it the other day. Currently working in Ubuntu to try and fix it. Gotta give it to my Mom after all!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] marose1:
Best Buy $50 promotion

I bought my iPhone 3gs from AT&T and my 2-year contract was up last month. If I go to Best Buy and "upgrade" my 3gs to the AT&T Galaxy Note on a NEW 2-year plan, do I get the $50 promotion?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ngocdao:
Just wanted to make it clear that only cdma companies can blacklist imei/esn
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Maroon Mushroom:
Yes. The microphone placement should be the exact same. emphasis on should be

Keep in mind that the mic placement on the international S2 and AT&T's was slightly different.

To my understanding, the only difference is the internal placement of the LTE antenna.

I will confirm it when I get my hands on them early ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] imitenotbecrazy:
Sorry but that's completely incorrect. ATT and tmo can certainly blacklist imeis and not allow them on there network. If a phone is stolen they will blacklist the imei, as I've done it AND have seen people trying to trade in phones that were blacklisted and ATT told us they were stolen
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] The Jack of Clubs:
That is sadly untrue. Go back a year and a half at the beta dell streaks. ATT blacklisted their imei's just before the streaks release and had promised to unblacklist them after launch, which they never did. They did offer Samsung captivates if you used it as your only phone and complained.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ranida:
I take advantage of the subsidy as I live in an area only can get AT&T signal, so plan on have a phone with them quite a few years yet, every phone I have gotten from them they give me the unlock code ( free friendly and no problem ) so I can use the phone with other carriers when I travel which is extremely cheaper than using AT&T sim. GSM is why I stay with AT&T as when i upgrade I can give the old phone to family in another country, makes a great gift. I do wish there was a little better competition to bring the rates down a little. I figure the subsidy for the phone helps reduce the amount I will pay and the SGN does have the international bands so will work any where there is a gsm signal and you have a sim for the carrier :)

Love my Dell Streak 5,,, am looking forward to the upgrade.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] foxbat121:
That's the only time AT&T ever blacklisted anything, under the pressure from Dell (or FCC) I assume.

Technically, AT&T can indeed blacklist IMEIs but from what I read, they don't actually do it in practice even for loss or stollen phones probably because they WANT ppl to continue use AT&T service ($$$) regardless who ended up with the phone, typically the ones who purchased the phone second hand from eBay or Cragslist and don't know it is stollen. There are many such incidents reported of ppl bought store demo Samsung Focus and it worked with the exception the phone goes into demo mode every 5 minutes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] HarmonyFlame:
Thanks to the op for keeping the thread up to date btw .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DeRock13:
Ditto.

I just preordered at a Best Buy Mobile location. After having issues with the actual store across the street. They said they couldn't preorder because they didn't have the SKU. I called the number from the website to order and they said the same thing. I didn't want to pay in full because I have a phone to trade in and the promotion gift card they have going on.

I called the Mobile Store in the mall across the street, guy goes, "They just didn't want to do it." $50 to reserve (you get a gift card), I get to trade in my mom's old phone and pay the rest in two weeks plus the promotional gift card.

The full-retail store I first went to has horrible service. Had a manager yell at me 2 christmas seasons ago. I am a retail manager and have never done so, I lost my cool and sounded off. Another manager handled the situation for me to my satisfaction, offered me more even. I refused it because I only wanted my exchange anyway.

Moral of the story: only go where you're treated well. Call in with COMPLIMENTS as well as complaints. Retail people need to be recognized for excellent service.

Hope everyone had an easier time than me!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] GbrilliantQ:
Switching from sprint (no etf) can't pre-order and go with the 550 family share plan. Can't pre-order over the phone to take advantage of no activation fees. I'm waiting to the 19th I guess..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DeRock13:
Nope. Northwest Indiana. Things are bad all over? Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] HarmonyFlame:
lol yep pretty much. They horrible at our best buy, but its ok. Its also sounded familiar since they have a mall best buy mobile across the street as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dacket84:
Are you talking about the one in Mishawaka? And the Best Buy Mobile at UP mall?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DeRock13:
No, over here in Merrillville/Hobart.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Fountainhead931:
Gbrilliantq,

Master Shake,

hehe I like it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] maxh:
I'll be picking up the AT&T version to use along side my International version and decide which I like better, then sell the other. Certainly no buyers remorse here, having enjoyed my Note for nearly 4 months before AT&T gets around to offering it! Sounds like someone might be a little jealous, though... :p

I was leaning pretty strongly towards my International version since AT&T gimped theirs with the 4-button, no physical home layout, but I just read an article about the AT&T Note and enterprise features, including full encryption. That's something important to me and I can't find it on the international Note. Of course, it may be coming with the first ICS update.

So anyone have any idea if the displays in the white model are better than those in the black model, like many claimed to be the case with the SGSII?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Maroon Mushroom:
Ordered my white one yesterday!

Somewhere out there... is on with my name on it.

It's so lonely...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mintu123:
U have better chances of getting 3g working on att note.u might can flash modem from T-Mobile gs2 just like they done in att skyrocket but if u buy international version u be stuck with edge.which sucks.its like giving Corvette to 80 year old women.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ap3604:
I am hoping the At&t Galaxy Note is not $299 w/ a 2-year contract :(

Hate how Verizon is trying to push the smartphone price norm to $299 + contract on their flagship smartphones. I really don't want At&t to start doing the same thing...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MrSewerPickle:
I totally agree and it honestly is worth getting frustrated over because it always appear like AT&T does the opposite of the best solution EVERY time.

I already own a TouchPad, I dont want to own a 5.3" TouchPad/Galaxy S II Skyrocket with an AMOLED+ HD screen when I know there is a better solution that they should have gone with and deliberately picked a slower (yes, benchmarks and throughput confirmed slower) SoC just for a tiny LTE network. Adreno 220 is old and will be replaced soon (if Qualcomm's roadmap holds).....

What I would like to do is start a speclation business on AT&T mistakes as I believe I could predict and make a fortune on it.

And yes, you can also bet and here is another speculation: $299 - $399 on a 2 year contract just so AT&T can see if anyone will bite and there will be some that do.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MrSewerPickle:
And this could obviously be wrong.just like anything else but for what its worth:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cushcalc:
As dscline points out, it is not AT&T that makes the decision - it is Samsung. Their own home market model for LTE has the Qualcomm processor also. So don't blame AT&T, at least in this case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
I'll bet it is the S3 processor. Anyone that has the International GNote going to switch to the LTE version? I would say $299 to $399 on contract $699 to $799 off contract.

Anyone care to speculate on the price of importing a GNote now? I predict it will go up. At least we will get more cases and accessories here in the US for our GNotes! :) I hope the ATT version is not thicker...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ryanscool:
Guys lets face it. They chose an s3, hopefully may be a s4. Look on the bright side, chances are for cost saving it will have parts incommon with att and tmobile gs2 (true 4g of course, tmobiles 42 hspa may just be considered), meaning we will have to port from them. My infuse is very related with the gs1 and captivate etc. And we can easily port from them. Not all hope is lost, and hopefully itll be 299 or 250 because if its any higher the general public will not want it. Trust me att has been becoming a little bit smarter in the public (and bigtime customer service, they have been great lately!). Anyway people are going to rant about this, but this is one heck of an android phone thats for sure. Ill be one trying to get my parents to use an upgrade on one ;). And once lte is up in more places (including me) people may actually realize hey this is not so bad after all. I know lte and exynos would probably have been better, but heck it will not probably matter in the end.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] xAnimal5:
LTE phones can only use Qualcomm chipsets.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ryanscool:
Just pointing out your wrong, they have made an exynos that can support it . Its judt it does not support hspa also, and is not as "efficient".

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MrSewerPickle:
ATT: Yeah, we want the Note. People are just plumb nuts over it. What's it gonna take to get it on our network? And we want LTE cause we tried to convience folks HSPA+ was 4G and they wern't buyin it. Oh yeah and we also want that exxonos or whatever chip that you stuck in the other Galaxy phone for us too, it's mighty fast.

SAMSUNG: No problem. I can assist you with that today. Unfortunately we do not offer a 3G/4G solution with the current Exynos processor but if you will wait until Q2 we can supply a faster clock Exynos that fits that need.

ATT: Heck no partner! It takes us about 4 months to decide on the color of the phone, much less roll it out and make it avaliable. We gotta have whats avaliable now. Besides, we recken most folks won't know the difference anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
ATT: An make sure it does not have a way they can switch that lil sucker to 3G/4G to save battery...we can't be havin these customers know what is good for them, we got to tell them what's good for them...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] macwilson:
Could someone explain in non-geek speak what this all means with the CPU?

I mean, what's the worst case, and how bad would that be?

I had the phone already and sold it to get an ATT version. Is it possible that this version would much slower?

I use these for the pen. The pen app is going to need some horsepower. The one I had was adequate, but i'm now concerned. You know how it goes: you get screwed, that's how it goes :D . They screw up a good thing, as that's all they know how to do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
It is not just the processor that counts. The software must be optimized as well. The GNote had some lag even with the Exynos until Samsung updated to kl7 and really made it snappy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eksasol:
Well coming from a T-Mobile SII which uses S3, it can't play HD MKV videos smoothly. It can manage 1080p MP4 videos, but I have very high bitrates 1080p MP4 videos that doesn't play smoothly. I didn't game much on it, but I can imagine an S3 chip handling 720p 3D graphics from some of these new games might not be a smooth experience. I tried modern combat 3 on the Note which it can handle, but the resolution made it barely smooth enough.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] k1ng617:
It's essentially the exact same as the Galaxy Note LTE that was available in Korea, even down to the changed s-pen button color.

If you Youtube some reviews of it you'll see that performance has been said to be on par with the Exynos. Quadrant comparisons are close (Exynos win) But Antutu benchmarks show the LTE is consistently better. Also, the web surfing experience seems to be just as fast and smooth.

I think those in LTE regions might benefit more from LTE than Exynos. Not to mention they will actually have a WARRANTY as opposed to the grey market imports with zero warranty we have been gouged up the you-know-what with. BRING IT HERE NOW!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ryanscool:
Thats when i love installing an aftermarket rom that is better and overclocking it ;). Heck, i do not care any more lol. It is the biggest phone you can buy, seriously even with the s3 or 4 or whatever they chose so many people will want it that it may just surpass the internationals development lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] HarmonyFlame:
I will be so happy if they put an s4 in here man. Although i wouldn't be super dissapointed with s3 though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
As a skyrocket owner with unlimited data on ATT, I will stick with my HSPA+ GNote (International). Although having LTE is fantastic, ATT is looking to harass unlimited data users by threatening to throttle them at 5GB or so of data usage. I have not been throttled (Thanks to wifi everywhere), but I can see even more temptation to stream etc with the GNote. I cannot imagine having a 2 GB plan with a GNote. You can blast through that in a day if you are not careful with LTE. Until ATT gets real world data plans, having LTE is a nice to have not a need to have for me.

Maybe ATT will include a way to switch off LTE to HSPA on demand. As far as I know that is not offered on any ATT LTE devices?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimocal:
That's the exact reason why I have not bought an import. After exchanging 6 SAMSUNG Captivates between my wife and I due to hardware issues, I can't afford the down time sending it back and hopefully getting it fixed when I use my phone for business. This way too I can go into a store, ***** about the quality of the phone and maybe get some monthly service costs returned :p

Now if it for sure has NFC capability I'll be the first in line to go buy this when they release it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
6 captivates? Were you trying to get one with a gps that worked? lol! Warranty could not help you with that huh?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] senectus:
man, that blows...

Apparently in Korea the Note isn't very popular due to the fact that the only model they can buy locally is the snapdragon model...

Rumour has it battery performance is SHOCKING.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimocal:
2 were for GPS. That never really was fixed so gave up on functional GPS.

2 were due to sleep of death. Both were in the IMEI range that were affected.

1 was a bad speaker. This was a replacement that was broken right out of the box.

1 stopped charging due to a bad motherboard. Hoped it was the USB connector so I tried replacing it myself (dear god those solder contacts are tiny) as it was out of warranty. Watching ebay for a cheap to cannibalize but dang even the broken ones sell for upto 70-100 still ????
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
I was teasing you! I had a cappy myself for a few weeks until I returned it because of the GPS. Waited a few weeks and the OG Atrix came out.

You can be sure that the GNote GPS works! It also can track the Russian satellite system, GLONASS. So you get GPS/GLONASS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MrSewerPickle:
Exactly and the South (not North....:) Korean market has traditionally been pretty tech knowledgeable so that makes perfect sense.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ryanscool:
Can you point to the source were they said battery was bad? I got to see this lol. If true im looking into disabling lte. I should also also say people at ces see no difference between them including performance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rockky:
I'd prefer the 4 buttons vs the physical one. More efficient operation.

And...I'm fine not having LTE. My Note on Hspa+ downloads data heavy sites faster than the skyrocket....consistently...here in Chicago.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] davidusr:
Sounds like the biggest complaint was being forced to purchase the more expensive LTE plans.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
That was all I could find on the LTE in Korea as a negative. They do mention the processor differences. Did not see battery life. I am sure with a 2500 mAh battery you can get a good day from the LTE version. I get 14 to 16 hours on my skyrocket with moderate use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] GeezyF.Ladies:
I hate the home button I left apple and don't want anything that reminds me of IPhones!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tommydaniel:
Still hoping for a Sprint release, but that is seeming less and less likely :/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ryanscool:
Your getting an lte gnexus. Thats a great device. Unless you want the note's giant screen, but garunteed updates is extremely nice, especially with samsung.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] macwilson:
Ok, the BIG question now is when.

Any tidbits you get post here. Apparently, there's nothing yet.

Does ATT give guidance on this sort of thing, or do they just show up?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tommydaniel:
I want the screen and the stylus.

According to the ATT press release they say the Galaxy note will be available in stores and online in the coming weeks.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimocal:
...and barometer for GPS too. Doesn't just help to predict weather. Imagine an army of these phonesspread out say in OK, that could detect a tornado based off the atmospheric pressure reading from the Note acting as a mesh of sensors...and with LTE it could alert people at amazing speed,lol. Hey that's a commercial right there for them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] OrionBG:
According to PDADB.NET the CPU inside the AT&T Note is APQ8060

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=cpu&id=a8060&c=qualcomm_snapdragon_apq8060

Accodring to phonearena.com the CPU is MSM8660 which is almost the same as APQ8060

http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-GALAXY-Note-LTE_id6779

So it seems that the CPU will have Adreno 220 and not Adreno 225 GPU inside! BIG FAIL!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] k1ng617:
According to the video on Engadget the battery only has a 3 pin connector, which means that it does not have NFC capability. Just respewing what I heard. I dont even know if that is true.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] E_man5112:
Can anyone confirm this? That's pretty good imho.

I would think it would go down. Enough people will be willing to "settle" (if that's the word) with the AT&T one I bet that there will be less demand for the international.
