Though we can’t say for with any kind of certainty, it appears that T-Mobile may be the recipient of Samsung’s Galaxy Note. According to some transmissions and office memos from vendors, it seems likely that this will happen.
Using the nomenclature of SGH-T879 the new device has the earmarks of a T-Mobile tablet since SGH-T8x9 is usually the designation for their tablets. Of course we are only going on speculation but there is not another Samsung device that carries a screen resolution of 800×1280 and it would be unlikely that they would create a whole new unit just for T-Mobile. Another clue to the possibility of this being a Galaxy Note is the bluetooth doc that links the SGH-T879 as variant of the SGH-i717… An AT&T nomenclature for the Galaxy Note. This comment, however, has suspiciously been removed from postings.
Some other clues to lead us to this conclusion about it being a Note and not a Galaxy 10.1 Tablet: The designation SGH-T879; Resolution of 800×1280 which is normally a smart phone orientation and pixel count; SGH-T879 is designated a phone by the Bluetooth SIG and Wi-Fi Alliance; The user agent string in captured post above lists like the AT&T Galaxy Note, known also as the SGH-i717.
Even though these are all just speculations with a dash of hope, one thing is certain, there is a new device coming to T-Mobile. Is it going to be a replacement for the current tab by a Galaxy 10.1″, maybe. However, with the wording used by the Bluetooth Sig and the Wi-Fi alliance in calling it a phone, it lends to the very good possibility that it will in fact be the Galaxy Note and it will be for T-Mobile. We should also note, no pun intended, that Samsung made T-Mobile devices are registered with the FCC using the SGH-Txx9 titles.

This would have kept me with T-Mobile.
First a hint of the Note going to Sprint… Now Tmobile. When is Verizon waking up and giving it’s customers some clue of the Note’s arrival. I will be switching if the Note isn’t available for Verizon by the end of May…
Verizon is going to lose my business soon if the Note isn’t available when my contract expires. ATT’s service sucks but i got to have that Note!
Its about time
I thought they were talking about the phone not the tablet. Theres a hundred 10 inch tablets out there.
Yes sir I will be KICKING VERIZON to the curb thanks to there crappy update ability of the only ice cream sandwich device they have 5month later my current Galaxy Nexus. I will gladly purchase the Galaxy Note 2 which what it will be called when it comes out on tmobile. Then I will sell my bullshit verizon galaxy nexus to the highest bidder then just lay in the weeds till the new Nexus arrives with 5.0 jellybean in November. I will purchase that from the google play store and then have both the Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy Nexus with jellybean. Yeah….
