The unlocked international version of the Note will be limited to ATT's HSPA+ version of 4G, NOT compatible with the LTE version of 4G they are rolling out now. 4-6M downloads is typical of hspa+ and is the best you will get with the unlocked international ver on ATT.

Best I've gotten here in south jersey is 4.296Mbps down and 1.642Mbps up on AT&T
where did you buy your Galaxy Note. ATT won't give me service on this phone. Were you already ATT customer?

Quick Newbie question:
I live in NYC and have the iPhone 4S, I think it's time to switch it up and i wanna go with the Galaxy Note... Im gonna have to pay full retail for the Note and wanted opinions if I should buy one unlocked or just wait till ATT releases the device. I think we all know AT&Ts "comming weeks" could mean March or April.
I know if I buy it unlocked I'll only be able to use the HSPCA+ network and not the LTE, this is not a big deal to me. Just wanna make sure I'll be able to have full capability with an unlocked Note with AT&T (MSM, texts, voice and Internet)
Any insight or corrections would be much appreciated

Your concerns have been addressed ad nauseum, but the answers are, "yes"...even if you have the "MediaNet" plan.

to find someone who copied the entire APN from his phone so my unlocked Galaxy Note (purchased from Australia) would work on HSPA and HSPA+. It is a wonderful device for media. I have the Verizon Galaxy Note and truthfully cannot decide which i like best.
The sound and camera quality are better on the Note. Its big so i use it for media (books, FM radio, podcasts). Also the call quality is extraordinary. Love the big print on the texts. haven't seen a good use for the S-Pen stylus yet but nice to consider.
The only thing is that the Note does NOT FIT SNUGLY in the hand so forget that. It is very thin (same as I-Phone) so no problem in suit jacket or purse.

I'm assuming you mean Nexus? Though I hope I'm wrong here lol
FYI this is an overseas version he is unboxing, not the AT&T one as it says in the title.

Can someone please answer this: I currently have a iPhone 4 and I'm sick of the apple restrictions. I have been doing a lot of reading and have decided the note is for me. I have AT&T and I work in Brazil. For 6 months I'm in Brazil and 6 months I'm in the states. An unlocked phone would save me money. My wife has a Galaxy S II and I love it. Hers is branded and I want to purchase the international note but there is just one thing holding me up. Is it just as simple as removing my sim card from my IPhone and putting it in the Note? If I could get the answer to that I would buy the note today. Also where is the best/cheapest place to buy the note?
