i wanna know which phone to buy galaxy note or nexus
currently i have galaxy s i9000 and i dun really like it and am bored of samsung customer support cuz till now they didn't release a bug free gb firmware so i was thinking about a nexus phone so i can get updates once it's released without touchwiz **** but i also like the galaxy note with its huge display

You're my age cut the capital D happy faces.
The Note is going to be like the dell streak. I thought it was way too big to be practical, and my predictions were correct. They phone/tablet had horrible sales. This seems to be a little smaller but I think 4.6 is max . I think 4.3 big enough already but holding a 5+ inch phone in your pocket all day seems like a pain.
Galaxy nexus is my next phone the moment it drops on the sprint network

When is CES? Now!!! Have you heard anything? NO! next event is MWC which is end of Feb. After announcement (if any ) it will be about 3 months till release ....might be even later due to geographical reasons ..
Get either of the phones don't wait its not worth it

Wait for CES? Serious? CES is pretty much over already. If you wait, you'll have to wait until CES 2013. Haha.
MWC is in late February though. Rumors are Samsung will announce the SGS3 then and there. We'll see.

Technically, you cant make a comparison between a tablet n a smartphone. But i have to agree it is a pain in my pocket to carry it all around the hall day ;( im searching for a small bag that can fit my Note and can hang on my belt. Hopefully i can find one.. ^^

"The Note is going to be like the dell streak."
-wrong, Samsung has already sold a million
"I thought it was way too big to be practical, and my predictions were correct."
-your reasoning for this is incorrect. The streak was marketed extremely badly,
shipped with an very old version of android, and had performance issues.
"They phone/tablet had horrible sales."
-Yes as stated above for different reasons which are not an issue with Samsung Note and as stated they have sold a million Samsung Notes already.
"This seems to be a little smaller but I think 4.6 is max."
-a pattern of you being wrong again and again...
The Samsung Note is 5.3 which is even bigger then the Dell Streak.
"I think 4.3 big enough already but holding a 5+ inch phone in your pocket all day seems like a pain."
-another assumption? It is not a problem to have this phone even in the skinny pants that I wear all the time and I am extremely physically active.
"Galaxy nexus is my next phone the moment it drops on the sprint network"
-another bad choice, most of the world uses GSM and for good reason. If your are going to go with CDMA at least go with Verizon who has acceptable coverage only in the US. AT&T with an unlocked phone is the best choice especially if you are worldly and like to travel.

Galaxy Note is way better than Galaxy Nexus because of the Mali chipset, Nexus chipset is a real deal breaker, in my country Note is already selling like hotcakes where as nexus is loosing its market value.
I am going to buy Note soon.

When i bought my Note, I thought I would use it primarily as a small tablet, and that I would continue to use my HTC Sensation as my regular phone.
I learned very quickly that the size of the Note wasn't an issue, and that when I used my Sensation I just found it felt small and cramped. So, I swapped my primary SIM into the Note, and now use it as a daily driver.
Consequently, I fundamentally disagree with your assertion that the Note is too big, because it really isn't noticable either in the hand, or in the pocket.

Dave

I am a Samsung galaxy note owner after having the S2 & the HTC desire HD.
I cannot imagine ever going back to my former devices after using the Note!
It is by far the best phone I have ever had and to be quite honest I thought that the size would be a problem which later on, as I discovered, was not.
It fits in the same pockets as my S2 without any problem...
No comparison can be made hardware wise and surely if someone gets to use it, he won't compare it to any other device in circulation...

Just though i'd let you all know the galaxy tab successor was just spotted in a pre-wmc add, looks like its 4.0 and a stylus built in! Can't wait to see this develop!

Thats the samsung galaxy tab 2, which has apparently the same specs as our galaxy tab 10.1 (if not lower). Wait for the galaxy note 10.1 for much higher specs, hi res screen etc
Hopefully this will make for an easy port to our device!
I really dont expect samsung to give our tabs ICS soon especially since this newer version has the similar hardware to the original tab 10.1.
I feel like samsung would not want to release ICS for our tabs so they can sell more of the newer version, but maybe I am just a pessimist.

I just dont understand why cant Samsung just update our tab 10.1 to ICS and then lower the price and sell it as low end model. Then release note 10.1 as a successor with higher specs.
99% of us are not going to upgrade to tab 2 anyways. So whats the incentive for releasing a new model with exactly same specs, but with ICS ?

Agree them front speakers look UGLY...
Somehow, in spite of having the same specs, it's gotten thicker (9.7mm vs 8.6mm) and heavier (588g vs. 565g). It also now supports Glonass for GPS and has a MicroSD slot. I wonder if the added bulk is due to moving to a cheaper to build design.
I'm sure all the lawsuits Samsung has been dealing with brought all this about... Also they have to support this tab for 18months per Google rules so we WILL see ICS

When the next samsung flagship is released we will have to wait 2-4 months. Then we will have the Note II or what they are going to call it. But the Note is a bigger succes then they expected, so we might see 5.0" + phones from HTC, Motorola, LG etc. And maybe even apple. So lets wait and see. But I know that it will be very hard to use a samller screen once you have owned this phone.
I think I would... but I'm not going to jump as one of the early adopters.. NO, not just yet...
I had learned my lesson before.. early adopters or the early to acquire the 'unit', the more you tend to experience some of the first hand bugs that came on it...
I tend to hold off till maybe the 2nd or 3rd batches before I'll try to purchase it. In that way, I'll know what are the underlying bugs and kinks the first batches would bring.. (as usually the case maybe.)

I think here at the Galaxy Note Forums will tell you that, most will NOT get the SGSIII because we are all waiting for that 1080p, quad core processor on the Galaxy Note 2. It just seems right
can not comback smaller screen .i still happy with my Note
Unless it offers the same screen as Note. Otherwise, it will be hard to switch. Also, Note is very different than the rest of the phone so far.
I believe now that to me, the screen size is a major consideration for me.
why would I do that?
I change my phone only if next one is really better and SIII is a great phone for ppl that don't have Note
Thats my main question... Cause I really want the Galaxy Note. HUGE 5.3" screen is awesome, but I love the new features coming to the S3, like wireless charging, or taking pictures @ the same time as recording a video. So if some features from the S3 are coming to the Galaxy Note I will get the Galaxy Note cause I love big Screens!

Wireless charging? that require hardware modifications so it is up to you if you want to add that yourself using one of the guides that you can find by searching xda.
About the software, a lot will be ported to the note eventually but don't expect anything to come out of Samsung. They won't be able to sell the new galaxy s3 if you can find most of its features somewhere else ie in the note.

Never going to happen. As the first reply suggests, it would be marketing suicide for the s3 if Samsung gave an older and cheaper product with already brilliantly unique perks (Note) the same software as their latest product (s3).

wireless charging needs hardware mod or something in the backplate to work

Question is what kind of wireless charging is on S3. If there's some kind of dock then this is useless.

Only upgrade would be a HD screen who cares when its only a 4.8 inch screen
And then comes Quad core, I believe the dual core does enough tasks

S III rocks. More performance and more battery than S II. Why NOT to upgrade? Only if you don't have enough money, because everyone wants to upgrade. It's always good to keep supported and updated things. S II is going to be DEAD for Samsung in a few months, just like S I. I don't doubt Samsung won't update S II to Jellybean, just like they didn't update S I to ICS.

The S1 came with Eclair then to Froyo and hen Gingerbread. So there is a chancr S2 will go from GB to ICS then JB (Not Justin Beiber. Lol).. But if samsung follows the 18month rule (forgot what it was called) and JB wont be released within a few months then there is a chance we won't get an upgrade (from the OEM anyway). If pocketnow is correct and JB is just a
point release (minor update from 4.0 ics to 4.1 and not 5.0) then maybe we will have a chance.

Battery is nice, but I dont see any large reason of requiring more performance. SGS2 does everything I need done without problems. Obviously there are other upgrades and new things, but nothing to completely convince me to change to the SGS3.
I think this thread should be closed ! not related gs2

I agree, but more battery results almost the same if you have more processor and bigger screen, plus i really like the SG2 design over the SG3.
I think I'll pass the 3 and wait for the 4. Or the next Sony Xperia S, because thats a sexy phone, and the only reason why i dont change my SG2 its because it has the same or less specs.
I was expecting more from the SG3. It just dont look classy like the 2. Looks more plastic.

Of course not. Can't I give my opinion? If you disagree, you can post here why. But just telling that it was noobish, just make your answer noobish. So shut up and stop being a noob.
PS: Some guy told me that the GS I has been upgrated twice. Sorry, I forgot this fact. Maybe Samsung won't forget the GSII in a few months, but after Jellybean. I'm sure Samsung will upgrate GS II to JB, it was no major update, it's mostly the project butter And since the nexus got upgraded, Samsung has no excuses to not upgrade.
Really this is how i look at it: The S3 is the S2 with a slightly nicer screen, slightly nicer battery, slightly nicer version of android, Slightly more memory, and a few mild tweaks. Big deal! The S2 still kicks ass of any phone out there, its a workhorse that will be good for at least another year before its really outdated.
Faster processor? My processor is fast enough as it is!
More memory? I never run out of memory doing what i usually do!
Newer android version? Developers for the SGS2 are awesome! LOTS of development for the S2 and theres lots of ports from the S3 to be made, still lots of room to advance the S2 so no worries there.
The only way im going to the S3 is if i can sell my phone and buy the S3 for only $100 more. Thats my limit. If i can, why not. $100 for me for an upgrade every year or so? thats not too bad. But if it doesnt happen so what? I love my phone! it works well, its fast, it does everything i want and more!

Of course not. Can't I give my opinion? If you disagree, you can post here why. But just telling that it was noobish, just make your answer noobish. So shut up and stop being a noob.
PS: Some guy told me that the GS I has been upgrated twice. Sorry, I forgot this fact. Maybe Samsung won't forget the GSII in a few months, but after Jellybean. I'm sure Samsung will upgrate GS II to JB, it was no major update, it's mostly the project butter And since the nexus got upgraded, Samsung has no excuses to not upgrade.

Yep. It was upgraded twice. SGS1 originally had eclair then upgraded to froyo and then gingerbread. They also have ics through cm9 so upgraded 2 times officially and once unofficially

SGS2 id known as the android device with the most roms available, and i can tell you one thing,
if you want the sgs3 becouse of its os, SGS2 next update wont be 4.1 Jellly Bean,
it will be touchwiz ux from the sgs3, but for the performance, its a great device,
but they didnt solve neither battery or heat problems, and the device is very weak
and fragile

Really this is how i look at it: The S3 is the S2 with a slightly nicer screen, slightly nicer battery, slightly nicer version of android, Slightly more memory, and a few mild tweaks. Big deal! The S2 still kicks ass of any phone out there, its a workhorse that will be good for at least another year before its really outdated.
Faster processor? My processor is fast enough as it is!
More memory? I never run out of memory doing what i usually do!
Newer android version? Developers for the SGS2 are awesome! LOTS of development for the S2 and theres lots of ports from the S3 to be made, still lots of room to advance the S2 so no worries there.
The only way im going to the S3 is if i can sell my phone and buy the S3 for only $100 more. Thats my limit. If i can, why not. $100 for me for an upgrade every year or so? thats not too bad. But if it doesnt happen so what? I love my phone! it works well, its fast, it does everything i want and more!

The s3 has double the memory...that's not a slight upgrade at all. Just wanted to point that out...I agree with the rest. Although the s3 is noticeably faster. I played with one at work today...it was impressive. At least it was a bigger upgrade than the iPhone 4 to the 4s. That's what made me get a gs2 in the first place...slow laggy 512 ram from the iPhone compared to a gig in the s2 and the s3 has 2gb and its very noticeable.

I have the international S3 with 1 gig of ram and I can already feel the difference.
Before I actually got the phone in my hands I didn't think it was any different from S2. Oh how wrong was I. The S3 is a much better device in every aspect.
I will keep my S2 anyway, it's the best looking phone ever in my opinion.
