You can convert the Telus/Rogers i717 (r/d) to AWS by using a modified Samsung T989 modem.
To save you all the trouble of playing around with various modems, I have found that the VKL modem is the most reliable for VOICE and MMS. Data is still slow (~200kb/s) but doesn't crap out like other modems.
Modems tried:
KJ3: slow data, dropped calls, does not transmit voice
LB7: dropped calls, unreliable voice, slow data
KID: slow data, no MMS
VKL: reliable and decent voice, MMS, slow data
It's the best you can do if you really want a Note but can't wait for T-mobile to release their version.

Wind $29/Month UNLIMITED EVERYTHING BTS plan
@.@ why go for all these trouble for a expansive phone @.@....
i think maybe just wait and see...
Get a Galaxy Nexus and a magnifying glass :P
um....do you think the battery is better than the gnex?
more than likely wind won't be getting this note right?
There is no other phone more expansive than this. At 5.3" (134.6mm), this is the largest screen you can get.
It was only $200 on Telus with contract, etc. The person I got it from already has an unlocked iPhone, so it works out for everyone.
I highly doubt Wind/Mobi will get this phone. At the full retail of $780, there aren't too many people willing to fork over the money. I highly doubt Wind will want to suck up the $600 hardware subsidy on Windtab+.
the unlocked, rooted and flashed at&t model is $599 at Canadagsm.ca
wind doesnt offer full coverage of the cost do they? i thought there was a $500 cap? or is this Wind tab+ ?
anyways if you can wait for the T mob version, do it, however the phone will be almost a year old by then
Oh and regarding the battery, its a 2500mAh.
i hate touch screen but if wind offering this phone, i think i will go for it cuz you know bigger screen easier to type
i guess wind can't really get this phone because it was originally not for AWS @.@
the battery sounds great
