Galaxy note 3 Unlocked (N900 or LTE N9005) Which to purchase

[burbankjim]

Greetings all,

I am thinking of upgrading and replacing my GS3 with an unlocked Galaxy Note 3 from a third party dealer. I am in Southern California and a T-Mobile customer. Apparently there are two versions, the N900 and the LTE N9005. I am not sure which one I should purchase. My intention in getting an unlocked phone is so that in the future I can switch carriers easily if I choose. This is not something I expect to do any time soon, but it would be nice to have the option. Obviously, I also want the best performance. Any info would be appreciated.

Thank You,

--Jim

I was looking at the Note 3 to switch between carriers (T-Mobile and AT&T) as well. I found that T-Mobile's variant (N900T) has support for AT&T bands as well, and would be your best bet. I believe the N9005 is missing LTE support for T-Mobile.
