Samsung Galaxy Note 2 on Verizon?

[CDMA_LTE_Iphone]

Please Verizon, bring it to us!

[Tidbits]

If you at the latest benchmark leak there are two different versions of the note 2. Question is why? Assuming from past Note that this one is a CDMA version and if it has LTE then it may be for Verizon or Sprint.

[MrDunham352]

I've found numerous articles confirming Sprint including this one.

I hope Verizon carries it as they have the best service and best LTE network to date but I have considered switching carriers because they at this time are not offering the note.

[boed1]

Yeah - they seem pretty confident over at Android Police (in a few articles) that Sprint will get it and Verizon won't

Rumors are that it will go to all carriers like the SGSIII, but that is unconfirmed for now.

[TSchaum]

Hope the rumors are correct, totally unfair if it's not offered to all carriers. Should be able to get any phone you want without having to change providers.

[Tidbits]

The only way to change that is to buy devices outright. Subsidizations leads ways to exclusive deals between carriers and manufacturers. Without that subsidizations it would be harder to go exclusive and force manufacturers to come out with better products.

[Tidbits]

Doesn't look like it now. The support doesn't say CDMA. So unless Samsung didn't mention they have a CDMA version in the works then it's a no go.

[boed1]

Samsung said it was offered to all carriers - It is just a $#!++y move on Verizon's part not to carry it.

I agree 110%!!!! Verizon has other "Phablet" phones coming out, so i highly doubt verizon will get the Note 2. Why? Well, mainly there might be contracts with other companies, i.e. LG, HTC, (ones that ARENT Samsung) that Verizon has a quota to hit. I have to give it to Verizon, they have been killing the competition with the LTE 4G service. BUT....when it comes to new updates, new phones, new OS'...Verizon is the WEAKEST at producing satisfying results.  Verizon had a good thing going....then BOMB! Its almost like the third world countries didnt want to help Verizon anymore.

Since the lawsuit was lost by Samsung to Apple it may not appear for anyone here in the USA.  We may see higher price come on all new devices as well.

It doesn't NOT affect newer devices...  The verdict was based on devices S2 and below.  Samsung switched their TW UI to a different type of UI (Nature UX I believe).

I hope it does, but knowing the history of how Verizon releases their phones, I feel doubtful. It's a shame, I remember having to wait for an EVO competitor, ended up with a Thunderbolt...awesome...not...lol. A long time Verizon customer, I re-signed with Verizon when I got a RAZR MAXX even after seeing the original Galaxy Note and knowing that I really liked it. If Verizon doesn't pick up the Note 2, I think I'll regret that decision. I've always liked Verizon's service and signal reliability, but all the cool phones go to the other carriers first which I've grown tired of.

[TSchaum]

I feel the same.  Love the Verizon service but seams we are always left out till last on cool phones. Waited for iPhone forever finally gave up got a Samsung, now that's all I'll have.  I could not believe they did iit to us again by not giving us the  samsung note. Nothing out there compares.  Our contracts almost up. I hope they offer Samsung note 2. Give us 1st rate phones  Please!!!!!

[Pmeza702]

I agree. Verizon has the best service, and its almost worth it to switch to another carrier with almost as good as service. I know i wanted to switch once Verizon stopped the 1 year upgrade opposed to just the 2 year upgrade now. Now, i HAVE to wait 2 years when i was used to upgrading every year. The always said it will extend my contract another 2 years...i said i didnt care cause i dont plan on going anywhere....well, now i want to leave due to Verizon most likely wont get the Note 2. Yes, there will most likely be a better phone 6 months AFTER the Note 2. But then again....Verizon more than likely wont get it.

Can I buy a Samsung Note and just put my sim card from my verizon phone in it?

[21stNow]

You could, but it wouldn't help much. 

Since voice goes over CDMA and the Galaxy Note 2 so far doesn't indicate that it has a CDMA radio in it, you won't have access to voice and text messages.  Because VZW uses different LTE frequencies from AT&T, if you bought an AT&T SG Note II, the data wouldn't work on VZW.  If you bought an international SG Note II, you would probably have the same result.

In other words, don't waste your money.

[PAULUS]

This is my next phone.  C'mon, Verizon, aren't you tired of losing customers to carriers that offer all the great phones?

So far they have only shown the international version which, of course, doesn't use CDMA.  So hopefully when the US version gets some publicity it will have Verizon's logo plastered on it.  I really don't want to switch carriers, but I will for this!

[Tidbits]

Sorry to say don't get your hopes up. Have to remember Korea also has CDMA. Any phone you find that's CDMA from Samsung you will find in Korea.

Website claims sources say its coming to Verizon.

[Tidbits]

The only source that makes that claim. Show a few more. This site also claimed it would have a 13mp camera and didn't move from it when other sites said what it has now.
