Why is unlocked always last?

No BTU (UK unlocked) firmware there of course because it had not yet been released due to the fact that it has not been tested on all providers yet.

The unlocked firmware for Odin will be available when it is available for OTA or later generally unless you want to delve inito unstable beta channels and so on.

Why the rush?

Problem is which one for bestbuy unlocked U.S. version? Or is it pick the carrier and load it?

You get the basic gist fro the CSC get the build details from the options on your phone to compare build, base and so on. Baseband is generally the key.
If you are at this stage then you have full recovery mode backup that you can do beforhand as you have custom recovery

Not so much rush. I have oreo downloaded already on my N8. It seems there maybe corruption with these ota's. I been getting lag and several other issues. Thought may as well download to the PC and try that way to see if it fixes it.

I really don't know what I would say to that even if it said what I thought it did.

I'm starting to think these carriers are removing features for their own apps. My wife is pissed about losing some on her Verizon N8. I'm gonna wait and see if Google removed those or the carriers. If so I'm gonna have a long talk with Samsung about this as a serious breach to our contracts. If we allow these carriers to favor Apple and allow no tamper then we should get the same no tamper for Samsung.

Were those same features removed from the unlocked Note 8?

Yep no custom notifications. They seem to be going backwards.
