So Verizon Note can run LTE without Qualcomm SoC! How is that so?

If VZW releases a GN II at the same as the other editions are released, I won't be letting a VZW-branded home button stop me from picking up one.

Here is hoping VZW ships its version at the same time as the other editions.

Verizon can use a branding iron on my forehead as long as that beautiful 5.5 inch screen remains untouched.

Would the phone function any better if it did not have Verizon on the button? To switch carriers over branding is just ridiculous. Just be happy that Samsung is doing the Note 2 right by not having any of those silly exclusive carrier deals. I will be a Verizon Galaxy Note 2 owner on day number 1. I've been waiting for Samsung to release a Note device on Verizon since the original came out.

I agree it wouldn't affect the function but it's VERY obnoxious. I dont think the final version will have it but I wouldn't put it past Verizon. It seems the trend has been shifting towards manufacturer branding on the front and carrier branding on the back, which makes the phone look much cleaner without a bunch of logos.

Go with Tmobile like I did.

I'm loving it and my GS III and yes it will be LTE enabled when they flipped the switch.Plus UNlimited data NO throttling speeds,NO overages,NO caps. My bill is 70/mo.(UNL T/T=49.99)

Yes I enjoy my unlimited data on my Galaxy S3 and my current 77:00 bill monthly. I was paying 190 for 2 lines on Verizon and my Galaxy Nexus never got of 1x/3g and the dBm and asu was shameful. My Galaxy S3 pimp slaps the Galaxy Nexus on Verizon even without jellybean.

It's childish and outright criminal for Verizon to use all that unneccessary carrier branding they are always having the need to be the ODD BALL. I left Verizon gladly in June and went to tmobile for my Galaxy S3 after the Galaxy Nexus shame. Thank god tmobile does android correctly and it's network s**ts all over Verizon all night long.

On behalf of Verizon, I spoke to a Sprint Store Representative yesterday who said, "We still haven't fully launched our LTE roadmap and, hence, we have no LTE to offer the Galaxy Note II (like our GS III). If our customers want a Phablet they can always buy the Original Galaxy Tab we have on clearance.

You wont be saying that in a year, that's for sure.

What the hell are you talking about? They're all gonna have the same dimensions. Those pictures at the bottom of the article are not representative of the phone's design.

16. Zayuh24 (Posts: 149; Member since: 21 Nov 2011)

Obviously Samsung is doing the same thing they did with the GS2. They're all going to have similar dimensions, but not the same. With the GS2, Sprint had the largest screen, AT&T kept the original look/feel, and T-Mobile had a more curved body, which is what's happening now with the Note 2.

20. g2a5b0e (Posts: 3798; Member since: 08 Jun 2012)

No, not obviously. Like I said, they will all have the EXACT same dimensions. Those pics don't mean anything. Trust me on this. The only difference will be the carrier branding.

23. Zayuh24 (Posts: 149; Member since: 21 Nov 2011)

Only time will tell my man, but the article came from the FCC so it has much more credibility. Usually the FCC sketches are the final designs of the earliest prototypes.

24. g2a5b0e (Posts: 3798; Member since: 08 Jun 2012)

Final designs of the earliest prototypes? I'm not really sure if that makes any sense.

28. lsutigers (Posts: 821; Member since: 08 Mar 2009)

haha, that was good.

31. Zayuh24 (Posts: 149; Member since: 21 Nov 2011)

Just compare the FCC designs with the actual product releases of previous devices on your own and notice the similarities.

Three variants of the Samsung GALAXY Note II visited the FCC, AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile from left to right.....

This guy is a typical Verizon dweeb..Ask him how's his shared data plan working out. With that useless Galaxy Nexus that always drops data connection, sorry signal strenght, and crappy reception. Verizon and it's battery draining LTE network is useless..Tmobile pimp slaps Verizon

So far everything you post is anti Verizon, you trolling?
