Thoughts on the galaxy note. - Epic 4G General

I thought I was pretty set on getting the galaxy nexus when its released, now I'm also thinking about the galaxy note. Just wondering what others in the community are thinking.

That's my question too. I would really love the stylus for work. I think I would use it all the time, but I am stuck with Sprint for at least the next two years.

I think galaxy note is targeted for specific people.
Personally, I will not buy it, because:
1. it's not nexus (fear of being left behind in terms of updates+features)
2. Too big for my pocket
But I see that it has usefulness that I heard web browsing is so much better due to bigger screen. The bigger screen allows reading, watching and typing better.
About stylus, I think its a gimmick. Unless you have something like iPad size (which still limited that you have to write like you are using a crayon), writing in touch screen is cumbersome.

It's freaking huge. Have you ever held an iphone? Yeah, I'm comparing apples to oranges, but the phone is huge.

The Dell Streak, compared to this, is longer and thicker, but the Note is wider. There are some videos up on YouTube with people putting the Note in their pocket and making calls and it's really not that big. Heck most cordless landline phones are bulkier than the Note.
Also if it gets ICS with the new version of TW that is less inttusive , that would be awesome.

I put a comparison pic of the note and the gnexus and an article up in the rumor thread. Ill find it.

the dell streak5 was the only phone i was willing to leave sprint for... then when my contract was up the streak5 was gone, too ahead of its time... soooo wherever the Note goes, I goes 2... GIMME GIMME GIMME!!!!!

I'll take a Note in white please...kthxbai

I want one so bad but I don't think its coming to the US. if it does it doesn't have a cdma radio so it will go to at&t or t mobile.

Finally motherf***er!

You wants the note
I can tell

i like the Note
its dope its lil big for me i suppose for a phone
i mean the s2 is a 4.5 inch screen
thats even big enough and well
since its fast and responsive i wont use the pen much

It's a Kenny Powers reference: NSFW
But yeah, I really want the Note.

AT&T has had the note for over a month. Used it for 2 weeks...it was OK. Barely fits in the back pocket and made my Epic feel like a toy. AT&T Hspa 4G is the biggest crap going but once LTE is spread out more it may be useable. The CDMA version will be called The Journal and rumored to go to Verizon and maybe Sprint.

I saw the Nexus Two being an HTC Device, with things like;
4 to 4.3 Inch Super AMOLED Display(Or possibly even Retina?)
1Ghz Dual Core Processor
16GB ROM
1GB RAM
3-5MP Front Facing Camera
5-8MP Back Camera
I recall Google stating that the Nexus One was a phone to revolutionize devices. Thats what it did, when the Nexus One launched it had the largest screen, and the fastest processor in any phone to that date. Where is that with the Nexus Two?!
They needed a story, even if the facts are incorrect.
That cant be the Nexus Two.
I'd rather have a MyTouch 4G.

My thoughts exactly. After one day with an N1, I realized just how nice life was away from any Samsung POSI. 6 months later, not one SINGLE complaint. This thing is perfect, and could only improve with next year's technology (screensize/processer etc) today. A Galaxy S model phone, which was available in July would a sick joke.
Desire HD+Duel Processor+Front Camera=Perfect. But I still like the trackball.
Didn't engadget just say that that is a gizmodo mock up?
IMO, this article is sooo full of crap.
good to hear Sammy is working on the Nexus Two. Couple great hardware with software. Damn it's going to blow everything away!

There I fixed it for you
How can samsung call the piece of **** a nexus cause doesnt htc own the nexus name? They made the nexus one. I hope to God this isnt true. I will never own a samsung again
not going to argue with samsung using the best hardware but damn do they love apple's designs or something.
I can't stand that they make the design look like an iphone and touchwiz makes it more like an iphone.
if nexus two looks anything like this, even if it is vanilla android, i'm saving my money for a better looking vanilla android phone.
Can't wait for Nexus Three. lol
I doubt this is real, anyway--a Nexus Two should be, just as the N1 was, ahead of the herd. Certainly not a refresh of an existing model. No way.
Dual-core, Tegra 2 chip, brushed metal unibody, or get the **** out.

nice comment from people who bought Ipad 2

a photographer dude that use its camera for actually taking pictures, and actually prefer using iPad instead of his cam coz iPad have a longer battery life and he doesnt have enough money to buy extra batteries for his camera (wonder how much he got his iPad)
that one cracks me up
ROFL, i cant stop laughing

It is obvious that these people never looked at or tried anything but the iPad. Good marketing by Apple. Bad customer.research by the customers.
The one that says "I thought it would have better apps.“ shows the tech level of these people. Sad, just sad.

Seeing these euphoric people standing in the line for 8 hours to get a new ipad2 just wants to make me vomit.

Thank GOOD I Bought The Tab...
After I Read This Bull**** I Would Sell The Ipad 2 Anyways...
But Please Be Fair To Apple...
They Do All They Can To Make Other People Laugh At Their Customers...
Nice find, Justin. I enjoyed reading their comments. At least they're honest (a 9.5" in height device is not bulky) LoL
i would die of laughter if i hired a photographer and they came through with their ipad 2..
Just reading the comment about it being lightweight - from my use of the old ipad in the store afyer a while it began to get quite heavy (thats partly why i got the tab) i doubt with the ipad 2 apple have made it dramaricaly lighter (doubt it). either that or i have feeble arms (not the case)
and re it being small - i doubt it will fit in a pocket unlike the tab (thats what samsung claim and it will fit in my jenes pocket)
and re it being fast? Its 1.8ghz in total whilst the xoom is 2ghz so the xooms faster.

Samsung GalaxySII models for AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint break cover

First off I feel this warranted a new thread altho we have some very similar.
But this provides more solid info that what I saw we currently have.
Merge if needed.

So while we reported yesterday that the Samsung Galaxy S II won’t be heading to Verizon, the silver lining comes in the fact that the three other major wireless carriers will indeed be getting their own models. So, the big question regarding whether or not Samsung would take the previous path in releasing these new models, in creating different looking devices for each carrier has been the question since the beginning. Thanks to Pocketnow, we can finally say that we (may) know what the handsets will look like.
There isn’t a lot of information going around here. In fact, where the above image came from is anyone’s guess. And because of that, we may want to take the above leak with the normal amount of salt on hand. We’re not sure if these are the final devices for each carrier, but we imagine that it’s certainly possible. So stay tuned, as Samsung’s event is just around the corner and we’ll have all the details we could ever want (hopefully).

Keyboard (a good one, not some PoS without a dedicated number line) is make or break for me. That's why I chose the epic over the other decent phones w/keyboards out there to begin with.

Sprint usually keeps the premium phones around the $199 mark, so I wouldn't expect this to be any different. No price has been announced, but I would expect that price point, but certainly nothing higher than $249.
Me personally, I'm waiting for details on the Nexus Prime to do anything. By then, the Epic will have GB and other goodies to go with it, and the SGS2 will already have ROMs etc associated with it. I have to rely on my phone quite a bit for business, so I'm not too eager to be an early adopter. I want to ensure all the small kinks and quirks with the SGS2 are worked out before I jump on it.
Nice to see confirmation of the design in the previously-shown pic that we assumed was Sprint. Looks like a solid design. I'm going to have a real problem deciding between this and waiting for a Sprint Nexus Prime variant.
Also, thanks for citing your source instead of merely ripping off an entire article as your own.
When the SGS1 EPIC came out it was $249 and then after the 2011 the price dropped. I hope they start out at $199 cause im just gonna add a 3rd line to my account to buy the SGS2 and give my son a phone! My wife will be taking my EPIC...

New Samsung Galaxy S III Leaked Picture

Okay folks. What do you all think? Is this the Samsung Galaxy S III? The image was leaked on a number of Korean blogs. I also would note that Eldar Murtazin, who claims to have seen the device said this about this recent leak: "no comments ". On previous leaks he said things like "looks close, but that's not it" and "no, that's not it." Why would he say "no comment" to this one? And that smiley face. Hmm. Very interesting

I honestly think that the screen is a bit too big compared to the device size. This is my personal opinion about the screen so please don't hate me. But overall the device sounds very nice and I'm sure it will be another big hit when it comes out.
Tierd of rumours I want this phone now!
It looks awesome from what u can see on this pic tho
Samsung confirmed to be 4.6 inch screen read more here:http://www.sammobile.com/2012/03/28/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-to-have-a-4-6-super-amoled-plus-hd-display/

Twisted, since you have the International Note 2, what speeds are you getting? My International Note 1, is averaging 6 down, but my SIII is getting 60 down. I'm in North Dallas area. I'm itching to buy the International, but will probably wait for the LTE.

you forgot how many problems we got before with "non optimized" resolution ?
Galaxy note 2 much more smarter. Resolution is optimized for everything. Plus it brings more FPS for us.
And the icons it just a launcher. It will be hacked later.
I created loads of folders now I can find eveything on home screen and set other screens just for show and widgets
