Wanting Note 2 32 gb, How long did it take for S3 32gb to show up?

I probably don't need 32gb and i'm sure I really can justify the cost but I want it. Any one know how long it took after the S3s started shipping until you you get a 32 gb model? As I understand it Samsung won't say when the 32's will ship. My guess is they are just trying to catch up on the 16's.

 

Last month I almost popped for a S3 but luckly the dealer I went said they were not stock and I would have to order a 32 and wait for it. About then I started reading about the Note 2's.

You can probably get a 64gb class 10 card for the same price you would pay just to get the extra built in 16gb of memory.

This is an extremely legit point, I paid $28 on amazon for my 32gb class 10, and it follows me from phone to phone so my crap is always there...

I ended up getting a 64 gb card via ebay for $61. It should be here about the time the phones show up in stores.

Very good question. Would love a 32GB Note but I probably can't wait for it to show up on Sprint if ever. Strange that when the press release for the S3 came out it mentioned availability of the 32GB model thru web sales but the release for the Note 2 doesn't mention a version.

I don't recall where but I read Samsung removed all mention of the 32 and 64GB versions from the US variants recently. The only place on their site that mentions different sizes is the micro-site that became available before launch.

One thing I've noticed is that even though you can buy a larger sd card, there won't be a option to move to sd. The option would be root but please correct me if I'm wrong.

That would actually be the only reason I would root at this point..surprising to say but im pretty content with the touchwiz skin. I know ivwill root once im bored though.

I want a couple things I don't think stock will give me but I am waiting to try rooting.

 

Titanium backup, and that add blocker. Then a few little tweaks here and there.

 

Maybe I don't need root for them. On the notification pull down I would like to have a way to put in a few shortcuts to apps.

I like having a flashlight app easy to find but out of the way for one. And I would like to get rid of stuff I don't want running,

 

There isn't too much bloat but it could be better.

    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). They do have a reserve level. Nationwide 800Mhz is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  T-Mobile did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, FWA Mobile in RVs in Walmart parking lots working where mobile phones need all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall  to update their overall strategies. Other notes from the call are 75% of the phones on the network are 5g. About 85% of their sites have n41, n25, and n71, 90% 5g.  93% of traffic is on midband.  SA is also adding to their performance advantage, which they figure is still ahead of other carriers by two years. It took two weeks to put the auction 108 spectrum to use at their existing sites. Mention was also made that their site spacing was designed for midrange thus no gaps in n41 coverage, while competitors was designed for lowband thus toggles back and forth for n77 also with its shorter range.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline June 1 for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio covering 27500-28350Mhz expiring 6/8/2028. No reported sightings.  Buildout notice issue sent by FCC in March 5, 2024 https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/letterPdf/LetterPdfController?licId=4019733&letterVersionId=178&autoLetterId=13060705&letterCode=CR&radioServiceCode=UU&op=LetterPdf&licSide=Y&archive=null&letterTo=L  No specific permits seen in a quick check of Columbus. They also have an additional 200Mhz covering at 24350-25450 Mhz and 24950-25050Mhz with no buildout date expiring 12/11/2029.

They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
