Galaxy Note 2

Recently bought a SGN2 (model GT-N7100) on T-mobile which for my surprise runs on EDGE.

Phone frequencies are
GSM: 850 MHz/900 MHz/1,800 MHz/1,900 MHz
UMTS: 850 MHz/900 MHz/1,900 MHz/2,100 MHz

and T-mobile:
As with our 3G network, both 1700 MHz frequency and 2100 MHz frequency are required for a device to function. If a device only has one of these frequencies, it cannot use T-Mobile’s 3G and 4G networks.

So fml, I don't have 1700MHz. Contacted T-mobile thru chat to see if there is something it could be done but seems that its impossible to deal with it since I am missing a frequency...

Thing is I love this phone, but seems that going for EDGE is not good at all...
Should I return it? Should I keep it? and which phone to get instead?
Been thinking the Nexus 4...

No internet? That would be a complete deal breaker for me, even though I am connected to WiFi most of the time.

Return it....If it cant function 100% whats the point.... I dunno why anyone like that phone anyways...I see only a few people with them.... The thing is the size of a brick except its flat...too huge...Its like a mini tablet that wants to be a phone...dam thing is hideous to be called a phone...

I love big screens xD but yeah, I am going to return it and get Nexus 4 instead.

WTF? They sell a Note2 that doesn't work on 4G? :giveup:

I've never had problem with them and my Nexus 4 works great with their network.

I'd wait though, next gen qualcomm soc are out and being implemented.

They might forgot the small stuff.

I'm sad because I bought a Lumia 820, it's great phone but I can't get to 3G or 4G from my house, but as soon as I walk to the nearest road (80 meters) it gets 4G, the operator must really hate me.
