Default What do you guys think is the Note worth importing to the US?

What are your opinions on the note guys?

To get it, I'd have to restock my GSII for an Iphone 4s-16gb.
$200+$35 for $600+ profit
Then buy it for $800.

So basicly, I'm spending $435 for the Note, is it worth it? I don't want to wait for the US version because it's probably going to be worse.... plus the LTE radio on it is gonna mess up the battery life. And.. we have to probably wait like another 7 months.

I wish I had a phone to sell to compensate for my cost + duty. The US one probably wont be out for 4-6 months. I think it's worth it for this amazing device!

This is almost exactly what I am doing, but instead I will get the White 32gb iPhone 4S for maximum profitability, and I'll be ordering from mobilecityonline since they're in State and $100 cheaper then most conversions I've done.

I'm going to wait. Price will drop by a couple of hundred bucks, and all the early buyers will figure out all the glitches. More roms will be developed by then, and more accessories will be available for the phone.

One big caveat I had about the note was the lack of NFC, and it seems like the American variant will also lack it (according to FCC documentation), so for me there is no real reason to wait other than price fluctuation.

That's what I'm thinking, too, though it's very tempting...

DONATE TO ME
I am just waiting to see if Sammy will release one with T-Mobile 3g/4g support.
If they add NFC to the mix, that's a big winner for me
