While the Galaxy Note 3 is now available for purchase in many parts of the world, those in the U.S. are going to have to wait till October, when carriers finally get around to launching Samsung's latest phablet. However, if you can live without LTE connectivity and don't mind paying full price, then you can order the octa-core variant of the Note 3 from eBay for just $749 (with free shipping) right away.
Actually, even 3G support might be possible only on AT&T, as the octa-core model supports HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 bands, though standard GSM connectivity will work with all carriers. Other specs remain the same as the quad-core variant that will officially launch in a week, including 3GB of RAM, 5.7-inch 1080p Super AMOLED display, 32GB of storage, 3,200mAh battery, and Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.
