How long is at&t exclusivity for Note?

[andro1d]

I understand at&t currently has exclusivity on this monstrosity. Anyone actually know when exclusivity on this is due to expire? I need to upgrade soon or else dump a bunch of money on a new battery, bezel and battery cover for an obsolete phone. I figure if nothing has been officially announced for the CDMA/LTE "Journal" version by the time exclusivity expires, I'll just cave and pick up my best option off the shelf at the store. My eyes would really appreciate a Godzilla-sized phone if possible though.

OR how about an educated estimation. I could work with that as well.

My guess is as long as the adverting contract. Obviously the exclusive rights are to get people to switch to AT&T. They keep the schedule secret because of people exactly like you.

I am now curious about this as well. I switch to AT&T only for the G-Note only to find out I get awful reception at work and home with AT&T. Had to return it. I can't wait for T-Mobile to get this. I saw the hack to get it to work but it's hit or miss.

It expires this month. So sometime in April.

My estimate would be June or September

This would be nice, but my guess would be between May 1 and July 1. Hope it's this month, though. I WANT THIS PHONE DEVICE!

The Note is the perfect device for Sprint's Unlimited plans.

And that is why I'm sticking around with Sprint.

Things are looking somewhat positive for us T-Mobile customers. T-Mo News posted some screen-shots and user agent showing the likely hood that the beast might be coming to T-Mobile! I hope this materializes.

Hope VZW gets some Note/Journal love!!!

Do you work for Samsung? Are you related to Ho Lee Cau?

Sprint needs to get their network up to speed before even looking at new phones.

Exactly what I was thinking. All these new LTE phones being released, and not ONE LTE market.

Can we give Sprint a little bit of a break? They don't have no where near the money of the other three major carriers, but they manage to hold their own.

At&t trades up in $30 or $40 range as does Verizon. Sprint's trading below $5, so their capital is not as available as the others.

They will get there. Legitimate criticism is understandable for any company, but give them time. Their network will improve.

I'm an At&t customer now that I have the Note, but I'd hate to see Sprint go away. With the limited resources they have, I think they do pretty good.

I never thought of it that way but you do make an excellent point DAS. AT&T and Verizon are huge companies outright and T-Mobile is owned by Deutsche Telekom which is another company with massive cash flows.
