4G/LTE is missing
Hi,
I nearly bought one on Oxford Street.
Carphone Warehouse have the white one sim free at £550
Phones4U had it sim free for the grey one at £570
3 had it at £515 but locked to their 3 service. So, you would need to unlock it and then no doubt lose your guarantee.
I want it off the High Street as I have bought phones of the net before and if there is a problem then its hard work to sort it out. For £50 more I will pay for the privilege of being able to walk up to someone and complain.
The reasons I did not buy one are:
Missing 4G/LTE - The UK model does not have this, even though the iPhone5 does.
Only 32GB - It seems you can only buy the 32GB models at the moment.
Grey Price - The white one is everywhere, but the Grey one is only it seems at Phones4U in the high street and costs extra :(
I suspect as the US model is delayed to November this so, that it will have 4G/LTE (which the Yanks will expect as standard). By that time I am hoping that the Note 2 in the UK will be shipping a newer model with 4G/LTE, 64GB and Grey at a the same market price of the White ones.
Therefore I am going to wait a month and then but it once we hall all the features available.
Spending that amount of money on a phone, I am willing to spend more for it to be 4G compatible as this will then allow it to last longer before the next big upgrade.
