The Korean (950N) variant doesn't have the 1700 for T-Mobile. That variant would work better (as in more thoroughly) on att since they use 1900, which the phone has. The phone will still work and as long as you're connected to the other bands, it'll still be usable. The other thing is that the N variant won't have much dev support, if at all.

Correct. The Korean variant doesn't seem to be affected from the OEM unlock nightmare.

However, on the bright side you'll have a monstrous 256Gb of internal storage if you went with the Emperor Edition. Marry that with a 256Gb Samsung Evo Plus and enjoy your 512GB Beast. :)

256gb got a snapdragon, you be most definitely screw, the exynos model only come in 64gb

The Snapdragon 256GB is the Chinese variant (N9500), and the 256GB Exynos variant is only sold in Korea under the N950N model number.

The 950F however only comes in 64GB.

This just shows how much we want this phone to be perfect, we're all willing to go through all these trouble just to set it up the way we want to. Samsung really messed up the Note series 3 consecutive times now (starting Note 5's no sd card slot)

Other brands should start to implement an S-Pen type stylus to their phones now, i'll jump ship ASAP if ever.

Already been down this path, she has had it more than 7 days so she can get an OEM switch when she enables developer. A poster already tried to get them to do it with one out of the box and it didn't work.

So what, this whole mess is a 7 day region lock? Haha

Not a 5 min phone call to lift region lock like in EU but you must use the phone for 7 days on a SIM from the origin country? If by chance that was true that won't be easy for everyone to do.
