Question regarding the NOTE

the I717 is the NonAWS version while the T879 is the AWS version.. can the T879 be bought overseas or ONLY from TMobile? the N7000 is the international version but doesnt support AWS, I know there is a hack to get it to work but heard the reception isnt as good...

The hack is for i717 and not the N7000 I believe. TurboE's Note was an i717 on Mobilicity.

you could be right,

Note I717
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100
4G Network LTE 700 MHz Class 17 / 1700 / 2100

So the hack is to get the LTE band working, which would make sense for it to work on Wind/Mobi..


So is there a hack for any LTE phones that has 1700 to work on Wind/Mobi?

i717 (all canadaian versions EG: i717R etc) can be modded to work on Mobi (yes i have done this.), but you can buy the T-Mobile version. its better all around. works on Wind fine too.

Thinking this would make a great travel phone if I unlocked all the bands. Does the mod make the phone pentaband? Or just one or the other?

canadagsm sells them ready out of the box. Of course the box has to be opened.

unlocked and ready to go on ANY carrier, well not public mobile i guess. Don't forget you still have the option of using LTE

I'm on Wind now, I hit 6Mbps down this morning and 1 Mbps up.

Wifi reception kinda sucks tho.

Well the Note 2 isn't quite out yet so I don't expect the Note 1 to drop yet. I've been seeing anywhere from $350 up to $500. I'll wait until the price drops since this isn't going to be my primary phone. It'll just be for travel/gps/ebooks probably.

If you're rooted you can use titanium backup to backup and restore your apps. Best purchase I've ever made.
