"it depends on what you need, the note 3 has no SD card slot and no removable battery or backplate where as the note 2 has a smaller battery and no fingerprint reader. I like the note 3 but don't really need a fingerprint scanner. I am however someone who likes SD card storage for easy transfer of files from one device to another or simply to store ROMs, pics, music or video on.
I also like the ability to swap the backplate out if you scratch up the old one or want a new look. personally I love the note 2 but if SD card storage ain't your bag and you are cool with maybe getting a case on your phone, go note 3 :sunglasses:"

Well indeed. Who wants a 4G phone they can only use 3G on?

I have this phone on Three, so I can only get 4G on 1.8GHz. It's been no issue for me. I presume you'll still get 4G coverage on Vodafone using the 2.6GHz band where available. The 800Mhz band is barely faster than HSDPA+ and is mainly used to plug gaps in 4G for indoors and rural areas. There's a great account of this over on the OnePlus One forums:
I couldn't be happier with this phone, it's comparable to £200+ handsets available in the UK. I'd recommend flashing CM12.1 personally but if you prefer you can flash MIUI builds from xiaomi.eu.
I got mine from Gearbest's EU Warehouse, came in 4 working days, no problems. Others haven't been so lucky so it's certainly a gamble, especially since if a fault develops, you have to send it back to China.
If you can handle the risks, it's a great buy.

Have you tried to use two THREE sim cards? I am just curious if they are both 4G standby, not like many other phones, 4G/GSM. Thanks in advance.
