[Q] Where to get a white galaxy note

Samsung have stated they will be releasing the white note along with the blue one at the same time, which is launch. I can't find any online stores that are willing to sell the white one, can someone help me track it down?

If you are very eager you can check @gmarket.co.KR but possibly a Korean model or else you can wait white model will come after 1-2 weeks after launch

Network
HSPA＋ 21Mbps 850/900/1900/2100
EDGE/GPRS 850/900/1800/1900
So maybe tmobile compatible after all?
I want one of these buggers, white or black or blue; hopefully 32GB

Clove, in their blog, stated that the only model available on launch day is the 16 gig blue/black model. So those of you wanting 32 GB and/or white will have to wait.
T-mobile 3G requires both 1700 and 2100, so that's a bust. It does work on T-moble edge however.

GAH!!! indeed my sleep addled brain forgot the 1700 band >.<
Now I have to hope for the indian version to not suck.
I am a bit worried about battery life also though..

Handtec just opened orders for the white Galaxy Note. £478.99 exc VAT

Don't know if this would sound stupid or not as I have never owned a WHITE colour phone.
Does it get dirty quite easy?

Any idea when Samsung is releasing the white Galaxy Note worldwide?

i got a white LG phone ( i want to get a white galaxy note too ), it will look dirty when you got scratch and then the dirt kinda stuck on it and kinda look dirty but if you don't drop or scratch the plastic of the phone then it should be clean off the dirt easily .

[Q] Carrier choice

I wanted to know, Will the Verizon carrier is going carry Samsung Note phone?
I tried search and didn't come up anything relate Verizon.

Nope. It's not on the horizon for Verizon. They have the Galaxy Nexus which has the same HD screen but slightly smaller. That is the closest you will find.
Also I might add, the only carrier in the US that the note works 100% on with no compromises is ATT (or smaller carriers using ATT's network). Other carriers may work like Tmobile but with edge (slow internet) or not at all.

Switch from ATT Galaxy 2 to International?

Hi -
I currently have the AT&T version, but was thinking about making the jump to the International version. There is definately more activity from a development standpoint for the International version.
Can I use the International one on AT&T? Is there any know issues I should be aware of prior to doing this? For example, can I still get H+?
Thanks.

Are you talking about switching to a Galaxy S II 9100?
Tons of people are using them in the states before the AT&T versions were announced/released. I believe they are nearly identical in terms of network/band support (shy of the LTE model Skyrocket)

Yes. I would switch the at&t Samsung galaxy s II to the international version i9100.
I thought people had issues getting h+ to work though.
I'm guessing I should just be able to move the similar card over.
Thanks

I have the International version and have been using it on AT&T for like 4 months now. If you are going to get a new phone, get the Galaxy Nexus

You shouldn't have any problems; I've been using the international version on AT&T for 6 months. The only area where you might have some issues is with ROMs -- a ROM package made for the AT&T version probably won't work on the international version.

It works perfectly well, just a warning if you purchase the white model. Att recognizes the imei as a blackberry for some reason. I had to call them four times and push them until they finally let me keep the media net plan.

I've been using the international version on AT&T since July. Only problem is that it drops signal after a phone call and randomly at other times. It come right back up tho. I don't know if this is due to my area or what or even my phone singularly.

I have been using the GT-I9100 for a few months now without issue, it was a little rough at first trying to get the correct APN provisioned but after dealing with a Supervisor who had half a clue I was able to have the correct APN provisioned and things have been great ever since.
However, since you already have a Galaxy S2 at&t has already provisioned your account with correct APN, so you should be good to go form that perspective.
I really like the GT-I9100 and am really happy with it, I came back from London on the 20th and played with a Galaxy Nexus while I was over there. Very impressive phone but not a major step up from the SGS2 IMHO, added to that I believe that ICS on the SGS2 is going to be pretty slick as the Exynos/Mali combo is just as good or maybe even slightly better than the TI OMAP/Power VR combo on the GNex.

I'm a grandfathered $30 unlimited data subscriber. Is the only thing I would need to do is move the SIM from current AT&T Galaxy S II to the International i9100? Will I need to call customer service to have them switch anything?
Thanks.

Nothing at all. I bought the internationAl the day it was released in the UK. I pulled the Sim from my inspire placed it in my gs2. Rooted about 15 minutes later and haven't had an issue yet. Play with apns depending on your area. I have had little success with major gains but mainly due to living in the major tristate area(too many users)
Edit: don't call and give them your imei. It changes nothing and has changed nothing with my acct

Shouldn't be hard to find the AT&T APN online. I did it with Virgin. When I installed a rom using full wipe, it erased APN. Same as getting a new phone really. A quick google search and manual APN inputs and I was back. You shouldn't need to do it though...first time I booted my phone up after I bought it, it picked the service up instantly.

That simple, remove the sim from your current phone (I777) and insert it into your new phone (GT-I9100) and you should be good to go.
I am also Grandfathered into the Unlimited Plan and to date have had zero issues.
One warning, if you plan on buying the White GT-I9100, that seems to come up in at&t Mobility's system as a Blackberry and the computer will try and provision your account for Blackberry use.
Dan

Great responses all! Appreciate the input.
I was only planning to buy the black one. Not having much luck on Ebay right now...
Thanks.

AT&T's version of Galaxy Note - Leaked Image

After selling 1 million Galaxy Note globally, Samsung is going to launch it in United States. A leaked image of AT&T’s version of Note is surface over web. The device to come with NFC and LTE...........
http://mirolta.com/2012/01/02/image-of-atts-version-of-galaxy-note-leaked-expect-to-come-with-nfc/

Lol..4 capacitive button?? Look same like htc to me..must be snapdragon chip rumors were talking about..lol..
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App

At least it is not an iphone. The lte feature will be useless for most until iphone lte makes its ulgy apperance.

I am so glad I got mine before AT&T gets a hold of it and bloats it up and put LTE on it and kills the great battery life. No thanks! I will stick with HSPA+, better battery life, no bloat, and timely updates. I have my skyrocket for LTE and NFC etc. One upside will be that there will be more cases etc to choose from once it launches here in the USA.
I am sure AT&T will announce it at CES coming up.

I'm on AT&T and care not. Love my international version. I just hope AT&T doesn't cook up some crappy new plan for the Note since the average consumer will closely identify it with a tablet (because of screen size and stylus). That may impact us users on our current data plan...

That's a render, not a real image. It was on Android Central yesterday.

True, but probably accurate. They have to stick their logo on it and cram the Samsung name in between the screen and capacitive buttons like they did the skyrocket.

I prefer the 4 capacitive buttons like the Nexus S, more functional and I hate the home button in the international version. It also gets NFC.
But if the snapdragon rumors are true, then I definitely would keep my international version over US version.

Frankly, I find the physical home button fugly as hell. But to each their own!

I feel it is the opposite. Part of the reason there are so many Iphone accessories, is that there is only one Physical version.

DO NOT WANT.
Why would they mangle a beautiful device like that? I hate capacitive buttons. Besides, with the S-pen gesture recognition, they aren't even necessary. They're just there to be accidentally pressed when you're trying to hold the thing in landscape.

Same here. By the time at&t gets enough LTE penetration in the USA market, the Note 3 or 4 will be out LOL.
I prefer a manufacturer device, than a carrier branded device. Less bloat & crippling.

Couldn't agree with you more. This device's attractiveness comes with the ability to take notes and the more obstructions the less attractive that beautiful option becomes.

seepage:
If they do not change the dimensions of the Note, you do not think there will be more accessories available here in the US for it? What does a home button versus capacitive buttons have to do with cases?

Sadly, he euro note has no nfc chip. Lucky you guys lol im forced to get the att note, but at least its better then ny infuse. I hope someone can port cm9 over to the att note, as there should be very little differences inbetween other then lte and nfc.

I really hope tmobile get this phone

Is it worth it to wait for the att version or just try to get the international version now?

It's really up to you but you'll be paying a premium getting the international unlocked version of the phone. I payed 649$ on Amazon. But it won't have the carrier bloatware, if you get the UK version you won't have LTE which can be a plus depending on your coverage area and if you don't mind having a lowered battery life. There is also the processor which is different the international version has the exynos which is a lot better than the snapdragon processor going to be put in the US release. To each his own in the end but I'm glad that I got the international version, best phone I've ever owned period and I will continue to use it until the next version comes out. I'll most likely import that too hahaha

H+ is not edge it isn't 4G as the blackberry bold doesnt support it. All the Nexus 4's are the same international or not. If you can get '4G' in your area the nexus 4 will get it. Id recommend ringing up t-mobile and asking.

The Google Play version is the EXACT same version that T-Mobile will sell.
You can check at the store to see if there is 4G or online at there website with there map.
Mind you 42Mbps is theoretical so don't expect to see anything close to that. Because a lot of different factors come into play no matter what phone you are using.
But to answer your question: Yes it will get high speed.

so what's the different between unlocked nexus 4 and tmobile nexus 4 ? both of them unlocked or what ? cause if they're the same , imma get tmobile version , since its $199 . just my 2 cents .
shoot , i keep thingking about samsung google nexus the one before nexus 4 , i want to have that one compare to nexus 4 , because the design is much more better u know , and battery removable its a plus point , but yeah i know the feature is not the same like nexus 4 ,
and my other option get the samsung note 2 . great feature but feel like holding a brick .

I'd play around with them. The advantage of the store one is that it will be cheaper in the long run to buy it and get a prepaid contract the $199 model comes with a new 2 year contract. I don't like the galaxy nexus because it has an awful screen. But your best bet is going in a shop and asking to look at demo models. Play with them.

Yes, you will get the speed that you are getting right now or might be more

Let's put it this way:
The Nexus 4 is capable of reaching the fastest possible speeds on any GSM network except for LTE.

The T-Mobile version is far from a sensible option for those ultimately looking for the least expensive device overall. Granted, that may be valid if someone already has intentions of signing a 2 year agreement with T-Mobile, otherwise, even with T-Mobiles somewhat competitive monthly plans, by the end of 2 years ,you'll certainly fork over more than $150: the additional upfront cost it would take to purchase a unlocked 16GB Nexus 4.
Not to mention T-Mobile doesn't offer a 8GB variant, which is more than adequate for me & surprisingly many others I'm sure.
