I use my old iPhone 02 sim in my Note mostly, but I used the 3 data only microsim from my iPad briefly and it worked fine. Better than my 02 sim even, as it showed HSPA+ was available too.

Only used data though please note. Excuse the pun.

I havent tried it but why wouldnt it?
You can pretty well use any phone on any network in the uk.
The issue with networks is more a US problem I think.

The answer is YES!

I've been running my Three chip in my unlocked Note for nearly a month now.

Unlimited data package is EPIC!!!

Enjoy!!!

I ordered my Samsung Galaxy Note on 28/11 and received it on 01/12 yesterday. i ordered it through the german Amazon site, amazon.de instead of the amazon.uk. I saved £100. I was a little nervous but i put my 3 sim card in and it has worked wonderfully. The 3 sim card works fine. I am now going to sell my Galaxy Nexus as i prefer the Note instead.

Ditto, I saved £120 on the Amazon price, £180 on the Carphone warehouse price.

Amazon.de £450
Amazon.co.uk £570
CPW £630

The funny thing is its still shipped from the UK and I got it in 2 days

It most certainly does.

I have a Mifi from 3, for when out and about with my laptop and/or tablet. Since getting the Note, and discovering it has Wifi Hotspot, I have been running the 3 SIM in the Note and firing up Wifi Hotspot to surf on my Laptop when needed or surf just on the Note when that was all that's required.

Works great, and in fact I found the 3G uses so much less power than having Wifi on and scanning the whole time that I switched Wifi permanently off. 'Course having unlimited data helps

I got mine from Amazon.de for 386 UKP but I do get 10% staff discount.
