Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Developer Edition pops up on Samsung's website - Phandroid.com

When it comes to the Big 4 carriers here in the U.S., it’s AT & T and Verizon Wireless have grown que a reputation for keeping any device on Their network locked down tight. This has not always sat well with the sect of the Android community que likes to tinker around with the software on Their devices, unlocking bootloaders and flashing custom ROMs all willy nilly.

Yesterday, we saw the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 hit Verizon Wireless stores but we noticed

there was the word on the availability of a special “Developer Edition” of the device to pacify ROM flashing addicts. While we’re still waiting for an official announcement, the Galaxy Note 3 Developer Edition for Verizon was discovered on Samsung’s registration page, cluing us into the possible arrival of the device. The Note 3 Dev Edition was only listed as “coming soon” but no other hints to the pricing or exact release date Could be found.

Guess

que makes the device all but official, although there’s always The Possibility Verizon Could have canceled the device (do not worry, chances are slim). Like the Galaxy Note 2 before it, we expect to hear an official Galaxy Note 3 Developer Edition announcement in the coming days. As usual, the device will retail for full price, somewhere around the $ 700 mark. Start saving up.
