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 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?

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

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

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.
