It's HUGE, I almost burst out laughing at someone I saw actually using it to make a phone call... but it's a killer phone especially if you want a tablet without actually owning a tablet

The gn2 is 1/2" taller and 1/4" wider than the gs3... The s3 is a great device you wont be disapointed, but man the note 2 is a beast!

This! I'm getting a Verizon Note II and it'd be nice to see my fellow Fascinate owners (and devs! :fingers-crossed on the Note II forums. My Fascinate has served me well for the past 2 years and I'll still use it occasionally as an experimental ROM phone (because I'm not planning on delving into AOSP too much with the Note II since it has some killer S-Pen features), but the Galaxy Note II will become my main phone.

I won't. This is already a kick ass phone, I won't bother updating for a while UNLESS it has a 4.8" screen, and a 2200 mah battery already in it
IF iPhone 5 can do better than SGS II first.

Ridiculous. Plethora of problems with the S2, yet they're already planning on the S3? Screw these guys.
As much as I hate Apple, as least when they release a product, it usually works right.

You are trying to hi-jack another thread when you have been advised to take back your faulty phone in a previous thread.
As stated, others do not have this problem.
i dont think they will release GS3 to compete whit iphone 5... Come on whats the point? GS2 alredy beats iPad 2 browsing benchmark so whats the point off GS3?
Just Marketing guys. I bet that even if sumtin is improved it is just as minot as it can be. Sgs2 is Top notch!

Same here...
Also, SGS II was released on May(in Europe), i dont think they would released SGS III only 5 months later unless its not really the SGS III but a SGS I9102 or SGS I9103 or something like that which would be the same SGS II but with some selected less features to decrease its price, as happened with the SGS and their SGS I9001, I9003 and SCL...
Not to mention that i thought the released of the SGS 3 was announced to 2012(one reason, may be to analyzed Iphone's 5 new features and improve them on the SGS3)...even though they obviously may have changed their mind...
i9103 was already launched, it's the SGS2 with the NVIDIA Tegra processor instead of the Samsung's Exynos of the i9100. The S3 should be i9200.

Living with the Galaxy Note: Thoughts After 5 Days

Friends,
I thought I should share this review video I came across. I have gone through so many galaxy note reviews, but this has been straight up the best. Really feel connected, and I think a lot of the galaxy note current users who love the phone would connect with the review a lot.. and those who are still thinking of buying a Note, definitely check it out.
Excellent review but you should have posted it in the review thread, I can smell the Ganja...
Interesting. I've come to the stage with the SGS2 where I need to gift it to my partner & get a new phone, it being a bit small now it seems to me. I've wondered about the SGS3 but that may not be a lot bigger, 4.65 rumor? So bottom line, the Note is really OK for everyday use?

the Note is supreme, the one to rule them all...The only thing I can see missing is IR port, so it could be used as a TV remote, then it would have been the complete phone..the ultimate..
Ericsson P800 had everything, it was supreme...crappy screen and touch function, but not far from the best.

So great that my Archos Tablet is lying on my table and I nearly don't use it anymore
A great review, and he's very entertaining! I agree with him about the size and power of the note making it more than a phone. Any future upgrade will have to be to something very similar to my note.

It is an awesome phone. I've had mine for about a month mine. Switched from an iPhone 4S. Took me a while to get accustomed but after trying multiple roms and kernels, I now don't think I'd go back to the 4S.
mine arrived yesterday, and its a great device, other than I am still wiping drool from it..

He was just asking who here plans on purchasing the Note 2 and, although there isn't much point to it, there isn't any need to get offensive. But, back on topic, I will most definitely not be purchasing the Note 2 (regardless of how much of an improvement it is) as I am on 2-year contract that won't allow me to get an upgraded device for another year at least. Besides, the Note does everything I've wanted in a phone, so what point is there in replacing it? As long as I get Jelly Bean, which this device should be getting, I am happy!
I skipped galaxy s 3 for note 2. So I ll be one of the early sparrow.
But somehow I feel like getting my hands on xiaomi phone 2. Its half the price compared to note 2 or S 3.but not available here. So my choice note 2
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
There was no official release yet about the actual spec of note 2. I could'nt decide..
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
I'm not buying the note 2 purely because its a waste of cash to upgrade after a year to something slightly better, which I will make no use of...for example, why would I want a quad core phone when my Note runs perfectly fine at 1GHz playing games etc? The battery is a different issue though, I would like the slightly bigger screen size but it won't be that much bigger.
Finally...I won't be buying a Note 2 because there is nothing new in terms of a 'feel good about' factor, just a faster processor and bigger screen will only make me smile for a week or so and then die away ...then what?
Already pre ordered from my provider..

Here's a weird-er answer.
I'll get it IF it has a better camera than the S3. If not...I have to say I'll be going towards the S3...
Or find something better to do with my money for a start.....
i know i should wait, and keep my Galaxy Note for atleast 1 more year. My boss, my wife and everybody that i know think i should wait...!

I have to have it... This has to be some kind of a mental illness.. But i need to have it regardless of the specs haha

Anyway now that I don't own a Note I don't think I even should be here in this forum anymore.
Good and better luck to you all.
I'll do what i always do....buy the first used ones showing up....after reading about the early adopters disappointments.
Then use my current phone as a backup and guinea pig for interesting ROMS I normally won't try
I already sold my N7000
and will take it if they put Exynos 5250 processor :cyclops:
and it seems they won't

I have the S3 also. I'm debating the S5, but at the end of the day I think that I want a phone that's smaller than the note. The S5 doesn't have all of the features that I want (namely the larger internal memory), but I think it will be the best option out there. I'm also on the fence, but not sure I could wait until the note 4 comes along.
I'm on the Moto X, and I have my upgrade June 1. I'm at a toss up between the S5, M8, or waiting to see the X2 or Nexus 6. But I hate waiting...

I'm coming from an M7. I used to love HTC but this phone really upset me. Horrible signal (4G basically doesn't work and a SIM swap didn't help), not-so-good camera, and other slow down issues that really annoy me. I've had every HTC phone on Sprint since the Hero and none have disappointed me as much as this one TBH. I wanted an S4 last time but went M7 instead and now I'm just gonna switch over for the S5. Mine's cracked and a replacement would be $200 so I'd rather spend less and get an S5.
Im on the HTC Evo3D still and looking to upgrade and was looking at the One (M8) But the more I look at the S5 the more I like it. My mom has the S4 and being a bit of an HTC guy, I really like her S4. Plus I like the fact that the S5 looks to have an SD card slot as where the One doesnt. Not sure what to do just yet but in about 3 weeks I will be looking to upgrade to something newer. So far the S5 is in the lead. If it gets root right away, then im all in!

I'm sure there will be an S5 mini, or the Moto X is the same size I think.
Just upgraded to the HTC one max and it's pretty nice. There's not much development though. I'm getting the s5 for its waterproof feature and because it looks like the most balanced phone at the moment.

The S2 has been a beast and really stood the test of time I think, but my charging port finally gave out on me 2 weeks ago so i've been forced to make a decision so im jumping ship in hopes that the S5 has the same great community the S2 has had. I just hope i dont end up regretting it, for example locked boot loader keeping us from asop and etc. or maybe i shouldve opted for the note3... hmm.. too late now!
I sure will miss this versatile little phone!

The S3 and S4 are very similar in size and if I recall the S4 might be a bit smaller.
And the biggest thing that is putting me on the fence- Sprint Spark sucks if you depend on using data while on a call. This is kinda a huge deal to me and almost makes the S4 (Non-Triband) a better phone. But at the same time- S5 is kick ass other than that. It has the best battery life of any Android phone due to algorithms. But I may buy a S5 to get Framily plan- I know it sucks but it is something.
