Samsung Galaxy Note 3 LTE or not?

It looks like Thailand got the Exynos WITHOUT LTE 4G

It amazes me that Thailand does not get the 4G LTE version (N9005) of Galaxy Note 3, especially now when True is opening its 4G LTE network.

I recently bought one it's a N900, i presume without 4G. But then i don't even use 3G so not an issue for me.

Some people may have read a lot of problems from people thinking the N3s are region blocked so if say you buy one in Europe you can't use US or Asian SIMs. One other version (from Samsung) is that so long as you activate the N3 for the first time with a SIM from the same region it can be used worldwide. Anyone know the truth. Can Asian N3s be used with other regional SIMs?

Apart from all that it's a great phone.

. Can Asian N3s be used with other regional SIMs?

Yes only after first being activated with a a Asian sim card.

Not sure why TrueMove H did/does not offer the N9005?

Assume Samsung Thailand did not choose to localize the N9005 based on limited demand?

The Nexus 5 will have LTE support.

We've got the opposite problem. One provider is selling LTE phones, with a contract at a premium, yet they haven't even got an LTE network!
