Unlocked Samsung Galaxy Note 2 $569.99 with $30 MIR from Newegg

this was the same deal posted in december (albeit without the MIR), keep in mind folks that this version of the phone is NOT 4G LTE capable. the speed difference between HSDPA and 4G LTE is enormous, so if data speed matters to you look elsewhere.

the model number of this phone is n7100.

for verizon you'll want SCH-i605, and AT&T is SGH-i317. an unlocked t-mobile phone will NOT have 4G LTE on AT&T's network and the same is true vice versa, their radios operate on different bands.

Pretty good price - best smart phone for Android there is. Even better than S3. Haven't heard of any problems with the Note 2. S3 has too many problems with phones resetting and bricking randomly.

Will this phone work with TMobile?

Might as well get an iPad mini; a little bigger for half the price.

it will work with t-mobile, but you will not have 4G LTE speeds.

edit: actually, from what i'm reading you won't even get 3G on t-mobile with this model number.

it's a lot bigger, at least the note 2 will still fit in your pocket... barely. the cellular models are also more expensive.

Great find. Thanks for taking time to share this deal which is useful to me.

Oh really? My note 2 sits in my pocket nice and fit. It is also barely noticeable because of its slim size.

This is not a phone; this is a tablet with phone capability. It's freaking huge! How and where does a guy carry it (not in a pocket for sure)?

It depends on where you live, I think.
I'm using a Galaxy S2 international version on T-mobile. I only get edge speed at my house, but at my work place, I got "High" (which I suppose is 4g, cause the download speed was approximately 1MB/sec when I was downloading app through playstore.)
And funny when I came to my friend house, which is a rural area, I also get "High" speed.

T-mobile is allow to use ATT spectrum now. They've install the cell tower in quite many city. Not the whole US, but quite many city.

It will fit inside the jean pocket, both front and back. If you put it in the back pocket, it will stick out a little but the width is fine. I like to put mine inside my jacket's packet. Fit perfectly. I always tell my friend, if it fit inside my pocket, then it's not big.

i understand what you are saying, but your S2 is getting fast 3G speeds because it has the UMTS 1700/2100 MHz radio. t-mobile 3G requires the 1700 AND 2100 MHz radio, and the note 2 in this link only has the 2100 MHz radio, meaning it is only 2G capable on T-Mobile's network.

wasn't aware that ipad minis doubled as phones
