BGR Article, T-Mobile customers: Don't buy a Galaxy Note 8

[weknsmith]

I'm sure this has been talked about in other threads, but I would hate to see someone miss the detail that the Note 8 will not support the 600 MHz band on T-Mobile.

Support for this band has to be a must have for any T-Mobile user that is considering a new device.

Of course unless you are going to use Jump On Demand, and then switch the Note 8 out for another device that supports 600 MHz fairly soon.

I could care less about this. I haven't had any issues the past view years with my phones on tmobile, and lack of 600mhz support for the beloved Note 8 means nothing to me. I'm sure some people may be unhappy with it though

There won't be any new devices support 600,hz anytime soon. The V30 and iphone 8 wont support it when they are released. So unless you are going to wait for the Galaxy S9....might as well buy what you want now.........

Good to see other perspectives. I guess the primary source of disappointment was the statement Neville Ray made earlier this year, and the Note 8 seemed to be the logical Samsung device.

Boy Genius loves Apple, and they love to stir the Android pot. If I based my decision making on what the internet said, I'd never buy anything lol.

600Mhz isn't going to make much of a difference for most of us for another year or so. Tmo is still rolling band 12 out in a lot of areas, and that's what you should make sure your phone has today because you will notice that.
