Canadagsm.ca sells for $599 rooted and unlocked. used to be $579 when i bought mine initially. lowest price i could find. not sure about now

Samsung Galaxy Note i717 with Penta Band 3G/4G Unlocked Available (Full Specifications)

ebay is always another option but likely locked and scams are always possible.

expansys .ca is like $699

Newegg.ca selling the int version for $519 and free shipping. White is $529

Hi again, thanks for answering the battery life question i had last time. I noticed on XDA that people were complaining about the white note having cracks near the volume buttons on the casing. I did a quick search around the web and it seems like the only complaints are from XDA and AT&T devices. Has anyone experienced any cracks on their devices?

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure if it is my modem or my phone.. But recently I have been getting really shitty data speeds. Even on Broadway where I have full bars of LTE I'm only getting 5down/14up. When I'm on hspa I only get 2 down. It's so annoying. I've tried flashing the original Telus modem but still doesn't make a difference.

I just flashed my phone over to the team perfection objection 2 but I can't get LTE. Is there a number pad sequence I need to enter or is it something to do with my modem?

Never mind, after extensive searching i found the solution. *#2263# and then 4, 7, home button and 1. Go back into settings and make sure apn shows LTE bearer on the bottom. I also made sure that connectivity showed the lte band. Placed it into airplane mode, waited for a couple minutes, airplane mode off and BAM LTE is back!!!

Running Flapjaxx ICS with CM9 mod ROM. works pretty damn good. very smooth and the rom is only 200Mb in size.

was using Saurom 7.1 and Flapjaxx in much smoother. No Force closes either. so far so good.

Running adw launcher with androidphone 7 theme/icons and light grid pro live wallpaper with HD widgets. Only two screens right now for a nice clean look

Doesn't really makes a difference. 5min of your time and it's unlocked and rooted.
