Okay, so the Samsung Galaxy Note II is obviously a great phone, and as I feel that reviews of this nature should focus more on the seller, I won't discuss how amazing this phone is, in and of itself.
This phone is roughly $800 from AT&T, Verizon, and Amazon out-of-contract. The seller listing the product here is selling it for $300 less than anyone else and it's not used or refurbished. That is pretty spectacular.
However, the battery that came with this phone is next to useless. It has no brand name marked on it and just says Made In China. The life of the battery is terrible. I literally have to leave my phone plugged into the wall at all times. If I unplug it, the battery drains waaaay too quickly. My friend has this phone and his battery is not even close to as bad as mine. He bought his phone from Verizon and it came with a battery that, while it looks similar in marking and color to mine, it says Samsung across it. Mine does not. His charger is also completely different. It's very likely that my charger is a fake too, although the piece that plugs into the outlet says Samsung on it, it is not the stock charger that comes with the phone.
The phone, battery, and charger came in a plain AT&T box that was not sealed, although it was shrinkwrapped. Part of the box had been torn and patched with scotch tape. It came with the appropriate manual. Fortunately, despite all of this, the phone itself is 100% legitimate and works perfectly. I will be forced to purchase a real battery for $20 or so and I will probably invest in a new charger at a later time, but this doesn't really bother me a lot.Read more ›

Phone arrived as scheduled apparently undamaged. The box was a plain box labeled "AT&T" but not a new retail AT&T box. There was no, absolutely no, paperwork in the box just the phone, the battery, the wall charger, a usb cable and a set of Samsung earbuds. The phone is a wonderful piece of electronics and the Android OS is easy to learn and use. I had to get a new sim, my old one was a full size and the Note 2 uses a mini. The phone was instantly recognized by the AT&T system and picked up both a cell and data signal. The problem that I am having is with the usb connection. It is apparently defective. I can charge the battery, but only consistently if the phone is off. I have only been able to connect with my computer once, and that was a struggle. I have contacted Samsung and they have assured me that the phone is under warranty should I need to get it repaired but that requires sending the phone in and having to pay to ship it there and being without it for who knows how long. As this is a "new" phone and an expensive phone one would expect that it would not need to be repaired upon arrival. I have not contacted the seller yet as I am still trying to see if the problem is software or hardware related. Pros: Beautiful screen Fast processor Responsive OS Actually good battery life (when I can get it charged)
Cons: AT&T crapware that is unremovable (this on top of the OS and Samsung's software left a little over 10 gig out of the base 16 gig usable) the usb connection problem that I am having
I would still recommend this phone to anyone that needs the screen size and does not mind the fact that it is a big phone.Read more ›

I love it. Awesome phone. It does use the smaller sim. I use AT&T Straight Talk I had to trim mine to fit. Easy enough. Had to find the right network settings to. I highly recommend this phone.

Everyone has left opinions on this phone. I ordered this phone which was listed similarly...a small note from the seller indicated that it was an i317M. That is the designation for a canadian phone. They are completely unbranded...The nice thing is that it indeed works on AT&T's LTE frequencies. The only thing that you'll need to do is set the apn up yourself...just inserting the sim sets up at&t's old apn settings...you'll need to change them to get lte speeds... Other than that, you get to enjoy a phone with none of the at&t bloatware, and no restrictions in the software...it's fantastic.

The seller sent me a totally defective item ... sucks all included accessories are damaged (spen, wall charger, usb cable) but at least the battery is original and I think this new ... The crystal of the screen has a small flaw, this detached in parts of the metal frame of the phone, the glass moves, reaches up to a millimeter is horrible and disappointing .... Be careful when buying this phone .take care with Wireless Fuze..

I love this phone. The size of the screen is amazing. At first I thought it might be to big. It's not! I won't go back to a smaller screen EVER!! Battery life is just as amazing. I have extra batteries that I haven't used yet. I bought them for emergencies or if I'm not next to a power source. I use Straight talk SIM. As of right now they don't have LTE speeds, but it does get 4G. In Atlanta I get 7Mbps down and 1Mbps up.
