Galaxy Note 2 short hands-on - Galaxy Note II General

Hey there,
I just thought I would share this with you people. I work for a carrier (don't even bother asking which one ) and we received our test unit today!!! It's the grey version and it looks totally awesome. The screen real-estate is just outta this world. I put it side to side with my S3 and looking at them, I became a bit pissed at my purchase as when the Note 2 was announced, I had thought that we would never carry it (ok, I've already said enough)!
I'm sorry I can' really say much but I had it in my hands for about 5 mins...! It was a 16gb model. I witnessed popup s note, popup browser (NICE), the new menu when you pull the pen out...oh yeah and this thing is FAST!
I have no idea about the release date (they wouldn't tell us), although I find it a bit strange that we are receiving a unit so soon. I've read on several sites that it would be next November...!

You must be in the united states, you said several sites said November ( that's US release month) and you said you didn't expect it so soon ( Europe is expecting it starting this Friday, going on next week). I'm gonna take a wild guess and say you work for.....sprint or at&t but I'm not sure which one

Nothing is ever certain in this world...
I didn't actually have enough time with it (5mins) to notice any potential bugs (and mind you, we only received the phone today). I can ask my colleague who's in charge of the device though to see if he notices anything odd.

If you're saying you weren't expecting it to come in I'm gonna say you work for WIND, or as someone already said, Videotron. Lol

I do have that info. It seems that even my employer is announcing it on its website so the info is already in the public domain. So here goes: SGH-T889V.
You won't find much when googleing that, except for a reference related to Samsung's Smartview app.

Very nice. Im about to drop the hammer on a P6810 now that I saw this. After my journey with the Nexus7, I miss the quality of the Tab 2 7.0 I bought for my wife. The 6810 will be a welcome addition. Besides the fact that im not a hardcore gamer anyway.
Came from a nexus 7 because I needed mobile data and I can honestly say I'm happy I did. Now knowing we'll get JB hell yes!

I wouldn't get too excited by one note on one Samsung country site, it could quite easily be a typing error of some kind.
If it's confirmed from 2 more official sources (and that doesn't include 'my friend whos second cousin works in the warehouse') then I'll start to believe it.

I 100% agree with you. I guess I should just start saving up for the 7.7 note
Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda premium
Well, its on a Samsung corporate webpage so that is obviously a plus. Besides that, how can they only push a JB update to the lesser-specced device like the Tab 2 7.0 and not the 7.7?? Really??? The 7.7 is obviously selling, probably not as much in the US as it is across the pond, but its selling nonetheless and is still a viable device!
I don't believe it, google translate has this as the translated text
"Confirm the update" meaning there is no time for it, I'll see it when I believe it
It has nothing to do with specs, the S2 and Note I which are basically the same devices are supposed to receive the update, so the 7.7 could easily run JB from samsung.

many products has confirm the update in front of it, and it did updated now.
and look at this article, there's still buzz going aroung 7.7, so samsaung won't forget it that easy, especially they will use a lot of common sw components from other similar devices, it will be configure and build and retest for them.

Does anyone has any idea when tmobiles releasing the HTC one

Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app
Not yet..they seem to be preoccupied with their iphone 5 launch... no news of htc-one launch.. i think they do have a sign up page for information though.. they are going to give out a free car dock for pre-orders..
i did see some information on one of the other threads about this.. the guy said it will release on 26th april.. though i am hoping it will be 19th like everybody else..
Very frustrating when they're quiet for so long. Freakin iphone
Thanks guys the 19th would be fantastic...

LOL!
Reminds me of that EVO vs iPhone cartoon.
I'm looking forward to the one. I put my name on the "remind me" sign up on t-mo's site. I'm pretty pissed that they've been so quiet about this. It doesn't seem like a good marketing plan to introduce just the iPhone 5 when they could blitzkrieg advertising by showing they'll have the best 3 phones possible, GS4, One and [the unholy] iPhone 5.
If they're looking to show people they have the best phones out, they sure are doing a crappy job of it. I'm not sure which phone I want, the S4 or the One, but I'm thinking the One is the best option I've got due to the speaker locations.
I'm not excited about getting a Sense phone again, especially since Sense 5 de-standardizes all the Android functions I'm used to, but I'm sure there will be rooting and ROMs galore in no time.

It would be in the best interest of Tmo US to announce something tomorrow.
They need to throw their name in the hat for potential off contract people looking for the ONE.

Iphone sabotage! At&t site says the 16th and some stores are selling already so the iphone has to be to blame. Chumps
is it worth trying the dev version out on tmobile? Will it be possible to just flash the radio to work with tmobile's 1700? or does the official one not support 1700 either?

My cousin's sister, well, her best friend has a dog ... the dog's veterinarian has a receptionist whose mom died and the pastor that officiated at her funeral is gay -guess what --> his lover is a TV repairman who fixed the TV of a guy who works in the same building as Samsung headquarters. That guy swears that one day he overheard two lesbians discussing when our update would come - and that date has already passed! So the morale of the story is, don't trust lesbians and don't trust every bloody rumor you hear!

I was referring to to the man you talk to: "ThreeUK" not you.
The man on ThreeUK is the the one trolling you.
Edit: ask for some detail and you see he do not know a thing, its just a trick to get people to use 3.
Why would anyone sign up to 3 for a 4.3 update?? That's the most moronic thing I've heard here so far.
If anything, the 3 post gives more credence to an update that sammobile and all other unofficial blogs.

Thanks for the info, obviously it's not guaranteed but good to get some kind of timeframe. You've been a member long enough to know there's a lot of simple people about, they are irrelevant, though this could have been tagged onto 1 of the other 4.3 threads.
Cheers anyway
Just to way in, if memory serves the 3 support chat lied to me several times saying the note 2 they sold was lte compatible when only Orange sold the n7105.
Be it miss information to them, or a fraudulent sale, I don't intend to ask them anything speculative anytime soon.

Agreed. Not very happy with this at all. Locking us out of our own devices that most of us paid FULL PRICE FOR!!!
Yeah me too... This sucks... I'm seriously thinking about selling mine and buying a international model. Does anyone know which model works good on At&t?
I bought 2 note 3's and and 1 gear. Dropped about a G and I can't use my device the way I would like? Not a happy customer at this point.

I went to an AT&T store a few days ago to get a secure element for free (SIM) and received a text survey the next day. I gave the employee a 10 but said I wouldnt recommend at&t to a friend, and everything else I gave low low reviews. They called me several hours later and I let them know why... I am sure it doesnt mean much... but at least they know I think they suck!
The people on the phone tried to help... but didn't really know how to go about getting someone to talk to me about bootloaders... they even recommended me checking out XDA to unlock it... LOL awesome.
I told them that I am perfectly fine with voiding my warranty... so can I please get this flashed to an international version... no idea how to answer something like that... oh well...

Yeah right. I'm sure this thread will be locked. I knew what I was getting when I bought it. I really didn't care as long as I could root.
If flashing and ROMing is that important, get a different phone. The T-Mobile version of the Note 3 is unlocked and will work on AT&T. I prefer AT&T because I get 4G/LTE where I live and in the building where I work.
Very happy with my Note 3 rooted and using Xposed, Wanam, etc. No need for a custom ROM. At least for me anyways.
AT&T has analytics on social media and Web information they collect on what is being said about them. Most large companies do and thought this might get some attention.
