The international S3 is a Quad Core and the US version is a Dual Core. Beware that the international versions will not work on 3G or 4G speeds. I just got bit by this. My son's S3 will only work on the slowest network speed (EDGE). I spent a fair amount of time with the T-Mobile Advanced Tech folks and they said the frequencies of the phone would work but the Branding of the phone prevent the fast connection speeds. I was told that the cell provider can determine if your phone is not from them and they purposely limit the speed. The vendors selling international phones on Amazon are not being forthcoming with this information. Be Careful!!! The international S3 is a Quad Core and the US version is a Dual Core.

The US version supports T-Mobile 1700/2100 Mhz AWS frequencies, which have been used in the past for T-Mobile all across the US. Currently, T-Mobile is shifting much of the 3G HSPA traffic to 1900 Mhz, which was previously used for 2G. This shift frees up the 1700/2100 bands for 4G LTE use. Google "t mobile frequency refarming" to find details. To get the best T-Mobile coverage across the USA, buy the US version of the phone. If you will use the phone in mostly a major metropolitan area with refarmed frequencies (like the SF Bay area), the Global GSM version works just fine and does get high speed 3G (HSPDA+) on T-Mobile, AND has better compatibility in places like Europe. If you never expect to use the phone outside the USA, get the US GSM version. I bought a Global GSM Moto G for a friend recently, and it works great in the SF Bay Area, and it worked great on a trip to Europe she took.The US GSM version does not support the 900 Mhz HSDPA band, which is widely used outside the USA. Amazon's comment about the Global GSM phone supporting T-Mobile on 2G only is not really accurate, although would apply if you did not live in an area with refarmed frequencies.

In the US it will only work on 2G or EDGE network. ATT is degrading its 2G network. However T-Mobile s network is working well. Look at the Bands they work on. 3G or HDSPA require 1900Mhz freq. The P780 is 2100Mhz on 3G so it isn't compatible in the US. Look at the Lenovo K900 as it works on US networks very high speed HDSPA+ almost 4G or LTE speeds. I have both the P780 & the K900. T-Mobile on the P780 for 2G. The K900, AT&T HDSPA+ very fast. Hope that helps

I live in the USA and use my phone and it works great. My phone is also international compatible if I notify T mobile.

S. Sun: If you are responding to Al, he was talking about the N85 (not the N96). The N85 has tri-band UMTS, and comes in these two flavors: N85-1 900/2100 MHz for Europe/Asia + 1900 MHz for roaming in North America N85-2 850/1900 MHz for North America (not T-Mobile) + 2100 MHz for roaming abroadDepending on where you are, AT&T; may use either the 850 or 1900 MHz band for 3G, and the international flavor of the N85 (N85-1) may still get US 3G reception.

It will not work. The firmware is not an issue, the hardware is. The phone cannot physically receive any US 3G frequencies. I also have a N95-2, and no US 3G will work. You either have to settle for EDGE or get a phone that supports US 3G.

these bands are not used in USA, so if the phone is capable working only in these frequency bands, it will not work in USA.

Hi Edward, this phone will work world wide, dependant only on your service provider offering service (either directly or through a third-party) in that area. This phone was originally intended for European and Asian based users who can currently make use of the new 3G technology features. These features will not work in the US at this time however, but they claim this will soon be changing.

YES but as always check with your carrier. My Simple mobile here works on 1700 band so phone not get 3G here. Other areas and AT&T carriers use the 1900 band. many languages available.

It isn't a phone intended for the US market, mine works fine on AT&T; in the US. I have not tried to use mine out of the US. The unlocked 720 should work for you anywhere on a GSM network so long as the frequency is supported by the phone.

Yes. I'm a T mobile subscriber and the phone works fine - have them change your sim card to the US version. Something called 3G H+ versus 4G will be your internet speed.

This phone is with a Lte frequency 700 MHz. If your US wireless carrier provide this frequency, this phone will work with it perfectly. Otherwise, it will only work with your carrier's 3G network.

depending on where you live. some states dont have 3g tmobile yet... so you just need to check.
