That's exactly what I'm trying to find out, would hate to have to give up on this phone.

I am also waiting for this as well, and tmobile note will have s3 processor, but thats not a huge issue, what concerns me is the color variety they better carry white version and release them on the same day unlike the SGSII...please white..

It's coming along quite fine. I think you can ignore the pictures of the international Note in this article.

Really hope this improves our speed, if that's not the case then I will just trade for the T-mo version...would miss the white though.

That's a good question if anyone has any input I'd love to find out also. I know that T-Mobile is the only carrier with 42mbps HSPA+ but I thought AT&T went up to 21 with the infuse & others. 14mbps seems low for this flagship phone considering current phones are running at 21. Maybe they figured with LTE on board we can cut some HSPA+ costs & nobody will notice

are you getting 14mpbs right now with the note??

42 mbps is only a theoretical speed. your speeds will be a lot lower than that in real time use

I might be wrong but I believe that HSPA+42 versus HSPA+21 has just as much to do with the carrier as it does with the device. So, in other words, if my device supports HSPA+42 but the network only supports HSPA+21, I will only be able to operate at HSPA+21 speeds. Likewise, if my device only supports HSPA+21, that's my maximum regardless if I'm on an HSPA+42 network.

That said, the AT&T Galaxy Note appears to have the hardware specs to support HSPA+42 (qualcomm dual core processor and band IV) but because AT&T's network only supports HSPA+21, they advertise the phone as an HSPA+21 device and that's all it will get on their network.

The difference between T-Mobile and AT&T with regard to band IV is: AT&T uses band IV for LTE and HSPA+ (when LTE is not available). T-Mobile uses band IV for HSPA+42 (they currently don't have LTE on their network).

So, if we can get a t-mobile modem that supports HSPA+ on band IV, in theory, we should get HSPA+42 on t-mobile's network since the AT&T Galaxy Note has the specs to support it. This is why people are flashing t-mobile modems now to get increased speeds but the speeds are not consistent or stable. I've gotten results ranging from 1mbps to over 18mbps on the downlink and .1mbps to 3.4mbps on the uplink (it's not consistent at all). This is probably because the flashed modem is not made for the Galaxy Note but was hacked and ported from another t-mobile device (like the Galaxy S Blaze 4G for example). When the T-mobile version of the Galaxy Note comes out, we should be able to dump and port the modem from the t-mobile version to the at&t version (since they should have the same specs - we hope!!) and ultimately give us more consistent HSPA+42 speeds......at least theoretically.
