Where are you getting your Exynos?

I just ordered a Korean model from a seller with many thousands of positive feedback on ebay. The UK model has one more band supported by default that my USA carrier tmobile uses (band 66) but I'm sure that can be remedied later if need be. Tmo seems to mostly use bands 2, 4 and 12 near me and those are already supported.
I ordered it at midnight last night and it is already almost here - DHL will have it to me tomorrow. I don't think there are any real functional differences.
Gotta love that DHL shipping, it's mind blowing to see your goods on the other side of the earth and then pick it up tomorrow as sometimes happens. On the other hand it isn't unusual for it to get hung up in customs for a few days before it goes anywhere, that would be what happened with mine. Shipped on the 9th and then sat in customs for days before it finally started moving. Once it did though... BANG. 
Course obsessively checking your tracking every 20 minutes and seeing your phone still in customs doesn't exactly make your day go by quickly.

also 256GB , blue( not here in state too)
i bought mine on ebay for 1200
coming this satuday
Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification. The unlocked BL is all I care about. I actually like the black better than the blue and 64 gb is more than enough for me.
yep this. Exactly what I ordered. Ended up getting a 256gb micro SD card to go along with it, though I can't imagine using 512gb on a phone but we'll see.
yeah i had a 256GB on my s8 plus
it will be fill up quick with multi roms backup lol
going to spain with mine on vaca
i so can't wait
Anyone with the device in hand can confirm whether OEM Unlock is present in Developers Settings? I have N950F and don't have option in the Developers Settings.
ah I was on crack... ordering at midnight does that, she only has 212 feedback but I have my device in hand 36 hours after placing the order.

I have it on my SM-N950N
5th option on the Developer Options screen:
Submit bug report
Desktop backup password
Stay awake
Bluetooth HCI snoop log
OEM unlock
Did your eBay seller remove the region lock for you before shipping or is that not an issue with the Korean model? If I understand correctly the region lock must be removed on the European models before using in the US.

2I've purchased from Clove, Handtec,Expansys, Amazon, and eBay. IMO fulfilled by Amazon is easily the best if you can find competitive pricing. That because their policies make returns a piece of cake. eBay is a crap shoot. As an example some eBay Note 7 buyers were torched (get it, torched ) others got their money back. My Note 7 went back to Amazon with minimal fuss.
Nothing wrong with Clove and Handtec, they just aren't as easy to deal with as Amazon when things go wrong. If you do order from them they sometimes ask for extra information about your card due to issues with international fraud, that's normal.2I've ordered from clove before and VAT is for Euro zones only so no tax. The conversion fee wasn't bad. I got lucky didn't have to pay a customs charge but they might have marked something on there end to save me money. Most stuff from the UK that's over $200 US gets hit with a customs charge tho. For the note 8 maybe but I don't think so.1https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-8/help/snapdragon-exynos-t3661380
According to force 70 in this thread above CDMA doesn't work with exynos. Not sure of the exact reason maybe the cmda radio isn't there?1I pre-orderd the dual sim variant directly from SamsungUK.
Hoping that its the Exynos variant, as I'd like to root and do other fun mods.
