None of my storage posts have been about the Korean or international version. I didn't follow any news regarding them. Now I wish I had taken a screenshot of what I saw. The last thing I want to appear is argumentative.
I posted my thoughts based on what I saw related to the US version.

Never seen any of the official releases mention the different versions. I've seen the korean/international version specs posted with blogs/sites using that as reference, but never stating that's what would be available in the US. At that point, they were all assumptions, not definitive stats from the carriers.
According to the Sprint Community Forum thread it should be up at 8AM.
Well it is as of now 9:50 AM EST, 8:50 CST and the Note 2 is not up on the Sprint site. Sooooo what now.

Someone forgot to click a button ... I am at my store waiting now let's see if they know how to sell them
S-Beam question....
as in this commercial.. (cute and cool) :
With S-Beam, you can share “special” videos with your partner [VIDEO]
(i will not go off on a tangent about the wify's vid)
lets say the video of the little girls talking to dad... was 3 mins long vid... maybe 15MBs..
when they tap to s-beam the vid... do the phones have to stay touching till the transfer is done? and how fast would that 3 min vid take?

Excellent question Dan.
In all the videos i see you tap and go on about your business.
It would seem it's instantaneous but really would like to know if it is that fast.

^ THIS "In all the videos i see you tap and go on about your business."
Currently I am the only person I know with the Note 2. My fam phones are all *i* so I cant try this out....bummer.
To add to Dan's question...does this also work if your phone is in a case? Every Sammy commercial has been naked phones.

I'm curious, does the S Beam tap and go also work between lets say a Note II and a S3?

I haven't tested it myself, but from all the reviews I've read. S-Beam works with all devices that have S-beam. It is not binding to which Samsung model you have. Plz correct me if I am wrong! :X

I am able to S-beam things from my S3 to my friends OG note. So it should work the same with the GN2.

I saw a video about it before and it seems you don't need to keep them touching until the transfer is done. And the video I watched was quite fast. the guy even transferred a whole movie under five minutes
I think as long as the devices have nfc, you can also use that to transfer instead of s beam(for devices from different manufacturers)
The reason I asked was because my sis in law was debating between the S3 and the Note 2 and she was asking about the S beam and I was stumped lol But She is getting the Note 2 after seeing it. Funny cause she has small hands but uses both of them anyway on her current phone so the Note's size wouldn't bother her. lol

Classic... That's awesome
While reading the forums over at Sprint website, I noticed that the Sprint version does not have the pins for the wireless charging.
No Sim card access, no multiview (yet), no wireless charging
aarrgghhhh anything else Sprint?

I didn't fully understand the question, but you can definitely remove the apps in that list that you do't use. Just click on Edit on the bottom and move it into there. You can also put stuff in the Edit into that list. Also you can make that tab go away by holding the back button.

Hahahaha. Well for me, the main selling point of the Note 2 is its size, so the lack of options isn't as upsetting. I don't know how to describe in words how much of a relief it is to finally come across a device with a large enough screen that I can type on the virtual keyboard with my big mitts with few to no errors, and still feels natural to hold as a phone. A 3ft x 8ft banner with "FINALLY!!!" written across it comes close, but still doesn't quite cut it.
Wireless charging hasn't gained any appeal for me yet, because the device is still required to be within "x" amount of range (usually within 12 inches) of the charging station for the "wireless" function to work anyway, which defeats the purpose, to me. With the phone needing to be on or near the station, which needs to be within cord range of an outlet, why not just plug the phone in with an adaptor?
As we've seen, receiving an update for the multi-view is (thankfully) not a matter of "if" but "when". However, as we've also seen, occasionally that "when" can span months or more. Optimist that I am though, I believe that the update will be out before the end of 2012. If memory serves, the international version only saw a month or two between people first discovering the missing function, and an update release.
With the no sim access issue, I can understand how that would be seen as a bone-head move on Sprint's part, to put things politely.
I don't do any international travelling myself, and don't think I will be any time soon, but if I did, I would definitely want the ability to swap out sim cards so I wasn't paying an arm and a leg for voice and data usage while abroad. Unfortunately, it was Sprint's decision, and I think they made the decision out of greed, which probably won't change any time soon.

Can someone with a Note 2 check how much is available? On my Bionic, I have 16GB of internal storage, but only a small amount (<4GB) is available for apps. If the apps storage is the same for all models, then it's not a big deal to get one with "only" 16GB of internal storage, because of the microSD card.
