As I posted earlier was thinking about selling my note. Well someone offered me $350 cash locally so I took them up and went to Sam's club and bought their last 16gb Google tablet to hold me over until the note 2 in a few months. So far its pretty cool.
I will still be checking here daily to keep up with development and see who is moving to the 2. Plus I've made some good international pals here as well.
anyway, thanks everyone from themers to chefs to developers to those who help and those I've helped, its been fun and ill see ya here and when the second version of the greatest phablet ever is released

How DARE YOU!
But okay, we'll see you on "the other side", and with that; i mean the Note 2 section.
Adios bud. Hope you like the nexus 7, I'll be getting myself one here shortly and I'll see you in the note 2 forums!!

Thanks. I'm counting the days until the 2 is released trust me. So far the tab is good. Enjoying my $25 store credit, first purchase is the new Batman game which is freaking 2gig!
Will still be here checking things out and hoping most of you come over to the 2!

Sorry man, but we don't like wasting money on slightly incremental upgrades. Note 3 or bust.

I actually ask myself the same question. "Is that big purchase of the new device justified for a sake of some improvements (but not so overly dramatic)?".
I realise Note2 will come with 4 core processor, slightly bigger screen and perhaps Spen functionality ironed out and maybe better battery life. But how much all these improved features will affect my daily use. The more I think about it the less I'm convinced that I should switch...

Then you're brain is working properly.
None of the features that have leaked are worthy for NOTE users to switch. I mean sure from a Gnex or an S3... but the NOTE is still one of the most advanced smartphones out there.

Completely agree. I bought my Note 2-3 months ago, and sure i'd like to have Note 2, but lets be honest, throwing loads of money away just to get quad-core cpu ( which i probably won't even notice in my daily use ) is just...well...not very smart, unless you have a lot of cash you can spend for whatever you like, then i guess there's no discussion here. Will definitely buy Note 2, but probably in a year or so.
I am really interested to buy Nexus 7. let us know if you are satisfied with the tablet as a Note user

So far I love it. Couple of days in. Never used spen so no biggie there. Gaming awesome. Quadcore awesome. Screen awesome. Makes calls.
I guess imagine a Note on steroids
I've always wanted a large smartphone and this is it! And it actually fits in most of my pockets, and my wife thinks I'm happy to see her all the time too! :thumbup:
Seriously with it doubt i need note 2 now.
From the Note to Nexus 7
Hi, I'm looking from advice from existing Galaxy Tab 10.1 users.
I am a self employed web designer and am looking for a tablet that I can use as a mobile portfolio and for demos of sites under development, etc.
My main requirements are... light, thin + decent 10" screen and ideally something that doesn't feel too cheap so when I hand it to clients it feels OK.
I can get a (reconditioned) Galaxy Tab 10.1 on eBay UK for £190 so it strikes me as a good deal.
Would a Galaxy Tab 10.1 suit my purpose? Is the ICS build OK? Are there any gotchas? As I said it will really be used fairly infrequently. I have an Android phone (Moto RAZR) that I can tether to the tablet for 3G data.
Any advice or thoughts are very welcome!
aesthetically speaking, the G-tab 10.1 is a very nice device. the new ICS update has been working very nice also.
however, the "gotcha" is that it's last year's hardware (dual core Tegra2). Getting one now really puts you behind the curve compared to tablets with current hardware. Personally, I wouldn't get anything less than a quad-core cpu.
The Asus transformer TF300t is the best deal on a 10" tablet right now (quad-core Tegra3, and it just got the Jelly Bean update), but it's not quite as nice feeling as the original G-tab 10.1, and it's still probably a bit more expensive than 190 english pounds

Nothing he is wanting to use the tablet for would need anywhere near 4 cores. Nothing we have available to us right now fully utilizes 4 cores. ICS is the first firmware to even fully utilize 2 cores. By the time we need quad core tablets, the current quad core tablets will be old and outdated anyways. I say, for what you need it for, the gtab will be just fine.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Pulled the trigger on one this morning. :good: As Towie said, the Tab will mainly be used for web browsing a single site at a time during meetings and a bit of Evernote / gmail / etc.
If it proves useful I'll probably upgrade to a quad-core (or whatever the state of the art is) next year.
Add a nice oem Samsung leather pouch and the ics update and you're set. Looks professional and the browser is much better (displays non-mobile optimized sites very well.) Good luck with your business.

Agreed.
The Samsung case, while a bit pricey, is really nice. After buying two Tabs for my wife and me, the first accessories I bought were the Sammy cases.
And I'll add to GorillaPimp's wishes for good luck.

I actually picked one up for $11 US at an electronics chain store that was dropping all Tab accessories. HHGregg is the chain. I was shocked at the quality when I opened the package. Much better than the OEM case that allows it to stand and has the magnetic flap. That thing can't even tolerate a finger nail swiping it and it was $50.
in short? NO.
get SGT 2 10.1.
SGT 10.1 will not allow you to make gsm calls, while pretty much any other Samsung tablet with 3G will let you.

The Galaxy tab 10.1 3g can make calls. I made a few today. Well, the hack was only made available so that's why most users wouldn't know about it.
Btw, I upgraded (downgraded) Sgt 2 10.1 a month ago. It was horrendous. Screen was nowhere near as good and I couldn't get a HDMI adapter for it and battery was crap. Ended up keeping the original and selling the tab 2.

Hi guys, I really need some advice on this one otherwise I wouldn't be posting it here. I read a similar thread before but I wanted to ask something else too.
I own a 17'' laptop and a Galaxy Note 2 (I use it a lot for work, those 5.5'' really help me) and never considered a tablet until the Nexus 7 came out, basically because of the price. However since I had previously a Note "1" I thought that 5'' vs 7'' wasn't much of a difference and the screen issues pulled me off. Now that a 32gb is basically confirmed and at the same price as the 16gb I am again (and this time seriously) considering it. I live in South America so I can't rely on warranty, 15 days return or stuff like that. I buy from amazon/ebay and that's it. I get what I get, I fix it if it has a fixable issue.
TL;DR:
1) Were the screen issues just a first batch problem or are they still as common as when the N7 launched? I don't mind a DIY fix though.
2) From 5.5'' should I really go the extra mile to 7''? I want to surf the web, check news and mails basically. No need for 3G data.
3) Should I consider a 10'' tablet instead, even at a higher price? For the record my GF iPad 2 doesn't inspire me at all but maybe because of iOS.
Thanks in advance. I really want a taste of Paranoid Android on a Nexus 7. Loved it on the Note 1 and can't wait for it to arrive on the Note 2 if ever.
I think you are misusing the word "need" here. If you have a laptop, and a 5" screen phone, I would say that you have zero "need" for the n7
Why don't you wait til the Nexus 10" is released. It would probably be better than a 7" considering that you have a note

Skip the N7. I have a GS3 and N7 - concerning the N7, other than light kindle use, I can rarely think of a "need" for it.
Thanks for your POV, it really helps me. The reason I am considering the N7 is basically price. I don't like to pay 500 bucks for a tablet, that's why I don't have one. But put 250 for a really good one and things start looking different. Sometimes I want a bigger screen to check the news, read ebooks, and my laptop is too big (17'' is OK as a desktop replacement, not so fun when you just want to hang around your house or read on the couch) and my Note maybe too small, that's where a 7'' would enter. I'll wait, I have no rush, see what the Note 10 brings to the table in terms of specs and price. But I value your opinions.
Does anyone know if the screen issues have been resolved (first batch problem) or still persists in new shipments? Thanks a lot for your answers and please forgive my english

hi
i am planing on geting a samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 they are now selling them at my walmart here in sonora CAthey started selling them in 2012 i been wanting too get one but is it worth it ? i be uesing this for note takeing playing games and web sufeing but i all so been thinking about geting a ipad 4 this is so hard too pick be come they are both selling at$499
I love mine, and I bought it at best buy and got them to price match amazon at $449 for the 16gb, and I woukd have got the 32gb for $499 if the had it in stock.
am going too go a head and get samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 has it seems that this tablet can do way way more then what the ipad can
when i got the $ saved up
Do you want simplicity - Ipad, or the ability to customise how you want - Note 10.1.
It essentially comes down to what you want to use the tablet for, remember this is a forum for note 10.1 and opinions will be biased,
I like the fact that with the note I connect it to the PC and don't need to use any other apps to convert my movie files to a compatible format, the same with music, text and apps.... It has a screen thats fine for viewing and the fact it has phone capabilities (N8000) just takes the cake. Throw in the stylus and it just blitzes the competition.
I know someone will yell at me for this BUT, the ipad has a retina screen and IOS6... I hate the fact they locked down the system so hard. It has not had any major makeovers since it 1st came out. It is a simple system that I find limited and boring, hence I have a note 10.1....
Others will probably disagree and I hope it won't degrade into a Apple vs Samsung war but probably will like all these types of threads do.
I'm not saying the ipad is a useless piece of tech but from personal experience with one, I won't be buying it ever....
We have the IPad 3 and the Note n8000 and if you like to customize your device... the note wins hands down. Browsing is so much better, speakers that you can hear and No iTunes dependency I love the note and don't like using the iPad/iPhone and I was an Apple fan for years.

I must again disagree with those that think the s-pen is the only thing that makes this worthwhile. I barely use it, but still love this tab. As I mentioned in another thread, I just spent 9 days in the hospital and this thing performed flawlessly. I used it constantly because they refused to let me sleep. Not a single lock up. Battery life was great. I was great having the extra memory and never having to worry about manually killing any apps. And the few times I did need the pen, it was there.
Yes, you can buy tablets with better resolution screens. But you can't buy one that performs better.

This pretty much sums it up. The Note's only weakness is its display. Not that it's a bad display; color reproduction, contrast, and brightness are all great. But 147 PPI is a bit behind the times and not the best for text. But given a choice between a higher PPI display or all the Note's features (well beyond inking) I'd choose the latter. I think a lot of folks feel the same way.
For the price I think I'd wait until the next generation. Samsung has been dripping hints that they plan on coming out with some new stuff this year.

There will always be something better just around the corner. You can wait till the Note 10.1 version 2 comes out. But at that point version 3 will be just around the corner.
As of today, this is the best tablet available,IMO. I don't see a version 2 coming for at least another 4 months. More likely it will be more like 6 months. But it's all guess work at this point. If you need or want a tablet now, this is the one to go for.

Dam you!!
I've had a Prime for a while, now, and I paid a lot of money for the thing. I thought a 10-ish inch tablet would be awesome, and I thought for sure I'd eventually buy the keyboard connector. Never bought the keyboard connector, and while I'm not unhappy with a 10" screen, after getting to hold and play around with the new Nexus 7 earlier today, I really started to feel like I might enjoy a smaller tablet better. Not to mention, I had high hopes the Prime would get good custom ROM support, and for the most part, it always seemed pretty lackluster in that regard.
Part of me REALLY wants to buy a new Nexus 7, but I've kinda been spending a lot of money, lately, so I feel like I should just not bother. There's also the fact that I feel bad about buying a new tablet when the other one I have (that I paid $400-500 for...) works just fine.
I dunno... Anyone think it's worth the trade-off, or should I stick with my Prime?

I went from a TFP to a N7 and I'm much happier. I use my tablet a lot for reading and the 7" form factor is so much nicer. I just bought a new N7 last night... I've thought about another 10" tablet, but the size is just unappealing now.
I'm kinda kicking myself, because we sell them where I work, and I was very much contemplating buying one last night, but I ultimately chose not to, to give it some thought. I go to work later today, but I have a feeling that by the time I get there, we'll be sold out.
I have a Transformer Infinity with dock and loving this new N7 tablet. Do I regret getting the infinity? No, it's had a year run on it and I'm sure I can still get a nice price on it.

Asus fixed the slow memory and the WIFI/GPS connection issues that plagued that tablet. The screen is bright and at the levels that only the Prime was doing 1.5 years ago and at a higher resolution.

Heh, because I know I won't want to return it, lol.
Anyway, nah, I'm not holding out for a new Transformer series tablet, or anything, but since I paid $400-500 for my Prime, I wanted to be strict with myself and say "Okay, keep this tablet for the next 3-4 years at least". But I'm so weak and constantly tempted by new gadgets! @[email protected] lol
While basically they perform the same functions, they each have their own niche to fill. With that said buy the 7 if you find it doesn't do anything that your other one does besides weigh less and offer a smaller viewing experience then return it/sell it. If you find you like using it more, sell the prime.

Same here. I still have my original ipad1, Galaxy Note 10.1, and 2 Original Nexus7 tablets(one for me and one for my woman). Not to mention I just got me a brand new LG Optimus G Pro with 5.5in 1080P display w/ Snapdragon 600 and Andreno 320.
I got the galaxy note 10.1 and nexus7's last summer. So I'm feeling like upgrade time. Ill just give my old nexus7 to my dad. I know he'll love it. The note 10.1 still works great. I wanted a new 10in. One also but its getting to point on overkill on tech devices. Can't help it, I love new tech..lol
Send it back, take refund and wait for the new nexus 7 (v2013)
It will cost the same and has better hardware like a full hd screen.

Yeah, for a while I thought the 7 inch form factor was dumb. Then the original nexus 7 came out and I thought, what the heck, I'll try it for that price. Ended up loving it and using it as my daily driver for both work and home.
I've owned only 10 inchers previously....archos 101 back in 2010, og transformer, even an iPad 3 that work gave me. The n7 form factor meant I could tote it around much more easily, even put it in a slacks pocket in a pinch. The new one is even better because of its thinness, not to mention the screen.
The back camera is great too...people say it's silly but I use it at work all the time....to scan paper people hand me in meetings (I don't print crap any more...hardly even bring a pen to a meeting) or to snap a pic of a whiteboard.

I bought the Transformer Infinity with the keyboard before. I used it for a few months and sold it through craigslist. End up I bought an ASUS X202E for productivity. The Transformer Infinity really disappointed me. I/O issue, quality issue, FW issue, etc.
Providing that the Transformer Infinity is very close to the vanilla Android, I would rather get a Nexus so that I can have fast update. I also feel a 10.1" tablet is a bit burden for me. End up buying the new Nexus 7 now. I am extremely happy with that.
In my own opinion, Android tablet doesn't really need a keyboard. If I am not getting a keyboard, I will not get the Transformer series.

Same here. I still have my original ipad1, Galaxy Note 10.1, and 2 Original Nexus7 tablets(one for me and one for my woman). Not to mention I just got me a brand new LG Optimus G Pro with 5.5in 1080P display w/ Snapdragon 600 and Andreno 320.
I got the galaxy note 10.1 and nexus7's last summer. So I'm feeling like upgrade time. Ill just give my old nexus7 to my dad. I know he'll love it. The note 10.1 still works great. I wanted a new 10in. One also but its getting to point on overkill on tech devices. Can't help it, I love new tech..lol
