Ordered model D5833 without doing much research, and from further reading seems like I should've ordered the D5803 instead?
Would the D5833 works fine in the US (AT&T to be exact)?
Thanks.

You should have ordered the D5803. If I were you, I would cancel my order ASAP, and order the other one.
Just got off the phone with AT&T and unable to get LTE, D5803 model

That has to do with the IMEI attached to your sim card. Go into an AT&T store and tell them it needs to have the IMEI of an LTE device.
I did it over the phone, all set. I used my previous IMEI and that worked.

Glad to hear it! Yeah, when I went to the AT&T store to get my nano SIM, I told them to leave the IMEI as it was. (previous device was an AT&T Galaxy S4)
Got this one sorted out and I should be getting the D5803 instead.

What's the difference between the unlocked and T-Mobile Nexus 6? Do they have the same bands? Does the T-Mobile model receive updates at the same time as the unlocked model?
The only difference is where to choose to buy it from.
They are identical. The T-Mobile-sold phones are unlocked as well.
No difference. period.
I've TMobile Nexus 6
Only difference is that T Mobile includes a TMo Nano SIM in the sim tray.

Absolutely positive. T-Mobile-sold Nexus 6 devices are 100% not carrier locked.

It depends where "overseas".
If it's in the Americas, then the T-Mobile version XT1103 is just fine.
If it's in other continents you may want to consider the global version XT1100 due to the different LTE bands.
You can see the details about the LTE bands supported by each model here: http://www.motorola.com/us/consumers/nexus-6-header/Nexus-6/nexus-6-motorola-us.html#nexus-6-specs

T-Mobile does sell the 64GB version. I purchased one through them.
If you want to pay for the whole phone all at once (or want a white Nexus 6), go through Google. If not, go through T-Mobile. It will be carrier locked until it's payed off.

Yep. Basically the only difference is the radio. The T-Mobile version uses 95R. The others use 98R. You can flash whichever radio, one may work better than the other for you.

This is slightly incorrect. The only build that has the 98 radio is LMY47E. This is the build that was pre-installed on models purchased directly from Verizon. All other builds have the 95 radio at the moment.

So I have the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 512 GB, I was having trouble today activating it, but an online rep helped me get the phone working with Sprint. However, the phone will not stay connected to Sprint. When I boot the phone then will work as normal for five minutes but after that, I will get the invalid sim error and all network services will just disconnect. I took the phone to a Sprint store and the rep switched out the sim for a*known working sim, but that didn't work. The rep suggested I call Samsung and get the phone replaced, but before I do that I wanted to know if anyone else is having similar issues.

-Thanks,
P.S. I also want to add the when the phone does reboot I'm getting the sim card is locked. Then everything in my OP happens.

You would have had to pay $10 for BYOD. I had sprint send me 2 wrong SIMS for phones and it would say invalid sim. The BYOD also usually comes in a pack with 3 different types. If the SIM they gave you was just a single SIM on a credit card sized card its likely not BYOD. Those sims are for sprint phones BYOD sims are required for unlocked phones. If you went in and said you need a SIM for a Note 9 they may have assumed you had a sprint one.

Ok so on my N950U I was able to flash the N950U1 firmware with the N950U (TMB) CSC.
This would give me U1 firmware with carrier icons and carrier features. It worked great.
I tried that on my new N960U. It did indeed work with the exception of one thing.
The RCS messaging (read receipts / typing etc) stopped working. Can anyone here shed some light on to this or have any idea what has changed?

Are you the original owner?
If so,did you use the T-Mobile Device Unlock app & ensure that it is indeed permanently unlocked vs a temporary unlock?
If you are not the original owner &/or the device still has an outstanding balance,this may be messing things up for you.
Repeating myself here,but,just in case you've read somewhere that changing the firmware somehow SIM Unlocks the phone,it does no such thing.
As for the hardware,there's no reason the phone shouldn't work on Sprint,less their pointless/consumer hostile practices of their brand of BYOD.
No carrier is perfect,far from it,but at least w/T-Mobile & I'm guessing AT&T,no hoop-jumping is needed,simply dropping in a SIM Card (& possible APN adjustment) is it,no further action necessary.
Whatever the person told you (from Sprint) seems to contradict what is posted on their website.

Your probably out of luck. Sprint activates there phone differently then any other carrier. All other carriers, pop sim in, and it just works. With sprint you pop sim in and nothing. Have to call and give info, but they won't activate it.

The correct sim card type is needed to make the Note 9 work on Sprint. SIMOLW506TQ or SIMGLW406TQ. Once you get the correct sim card type then do an Imei swap via online chat. Dont bother calling them up.
