Mine's coming next week, i've been upgrading phones every year and I need to stop. Gonna keep this one for 2 years minimum, hopefully 3

Tempted to switch from my note 2. I'll wait for initial price to drop s bit first.

Lol tell me about it. I got my Note 2 last year in December and replaced it with the S4 in July and now i'm replacing it soon with the Note 3. Samsung has got their hooks in me real good

Is the Wind version compatible with Rogers then?

imma wait for the refurbs from telus again

Hmm that might be s good idea.

Is the only way to get an unlocked LTE Note 3 by buying one outright from Rogers or any locked one, then using an online unlock service?

^Rik @MobileDNA says he will have unlocked Bell versions for sale soon so I'm gonna grab that from him but you can also buy the international unlocked ones as well.

i played with it on the weekend @ the "Samsung" store. It feels a lot snappier than my stock Note 2, but I'm guessing it's probably mostly the OS? Hopefully there will be a port of OS for N2 soon

Anyone find the s pen not sensitive enough?

4.3 is coming November for Note 2

looking on ebay for cases on the note 3 & not a lot are catching my eyes

I ordered some spigen cases, should arrive anytime now. They looked like the best designed ones at the moment compared to what is out there. I'll let ppl know how they are like when I get them.

^^...fuuu thats nice,i wouldn't mind the red one...i just wonder how glossy and scratch free they will last.

Ordered a couple of cases from dx. I'll let you know next year how it's like when I get them

I was really liking the Ringke Slim case for the Note 3. Its one of the few, if not only, non TPU slim cases that protects the sides as well as the top and bottom.

you should be able to flash the modem files from rogers to enable the band. the n9005 contains all the band you just have to enable them like the s4.

i'm still waiting for time to go down to the states to pick up my HK n9005 ~~ reason being i can use the 2600mhz LTE here with rogers and in hk without having to modify my phone baseband.. with the new knox counter for warranty i don't want to bother triggering it and voiding my warranty without knowing whether or not it can be modified.. i shoulda shipped to a 24/7 parcel place instead :( fml

^ is the HK version dual sim?

no that's the china version n9002

Wind version works with Rogers without any customizations. Should be able to use everything just after a simple unlock.
It has WCDMA 850/1700/2100/1900 and LTE 700/850/1700/2100/1900

i don't believe that's the case. it'll work but not out of the box without changing the modem file. while the phone contains all the band but most are disabled based on your country. it's just like the s4, default it doesn't work on wind but once unlocked all baseband it'll pick up wind and mobilicity.

Anyone know if any versions of the dual sims will work here in NA?

it'll work here just no LTE coz it doesn't have LTE

anyone able to get it for $199 as a HUP through Rogers?
