Oh schnap, quad core in the house
|
I'm glad that there's a device coming out that will fit yet another niche in the market, but I think that's just way too big for me, personally.
|
I'm in, is late November the new release date?

Until the Google Glasses come out, I'll settle for a separate phone and tablet. |
Yeah definitely too big for a phone.

I've played around w/ the original Note, that is virtually the same size and I don't understand why ppl think it's too big. Everybody said the EVO was too big. Everybody said the SII was too big. They said the SIII was too big. Turns out they weren't. I asked to try it out to fit into my pocket and it really felt no different in my pocket than my current EVO which is much smaller. I am DEFINITELY getting this phone when it comes out.

There's a reason why nearly every other mobile device has abandoned the sylus as a reliable input method. Quote:

You realize at no point do you have to use the stylus right? Having at least the option to use one in no way could possibly be a detriment to a phone.

I love the stylus. Swype is wonderful with it. It takes screencaps, it will write.
I use it quite often. You can draw and play games with it . Posted via Mobile Device |
I got an upgrade so i'm debating between the Note 2 and the S3
|
The Note 2 looks a little big for me, but the quad core processor is intriguing.
|
Just got my son the S3 tonight. Best Buy had it on sale for $149 plus I had a 20 reward certificate so I got it for a nice price. This is a nice phone. Screen is absolutely beautiful. I have the iPhone 4S and I think the S3 display looks much better. Just finished setting it up and it was a breeze. Best Buy said they would give me $310 for my 4S and I am seriously considering getting it. However I will check out the Note 2 and iPhone 5 too.

This beauty coming to sprint for sure this time on Oct 25.
|
Anybody get one of these yet? I went to the Sprint store last night to take a look. Guy pulled one out untethered so I could check how it fits in a pocket. I was pleasantly surprised. I'm leaning that direction currently, but not quite ready to pull the trigger.

Got the Note 2 last night. Still learning about all it can do, but I love it so far. It's on the edge of being too big, but not quite. It fits fine in my jeans pockets, and holding it is ok. I have a slim case on order, so we'll see if that adds enough bulk to be a concern. But I'm like a kid in a candy store coming from an original EVO. It's very fast, the battery is great, storage is no problem and the screen shines.

Multi-Window is a key feature for the Samsung Galaxy Note II because it adds split-screen functionality to the device's 5.5-inch display -- allowing you to run two apps at the same time -- but unfortunately it has been noticeably absent on the phone's US versions. Until today, the carriers have remained oddly silent about if or when their model would even receive it. Two weeks after its initial release, Sprint's Note II will receive an update (L900VPALJC) that enables the missing feature, in addition to some minor enhancements to GPS, email and SMS. We're expecting to see the rollout start today, but Sprint advises us that it may take up to five days before it hits your particular unit. It's about time -- and we can only hope that the other carriers will follow up with updates fairly quickly. Head to the source link to find out how to install the update, as well as full details on the other fixes in the new build. |

In addition, if you register your phone through Samsung, they're sending 50% accessories coupon. You can buy a 2nd battery for $25 (regular price is $50). |
I really like the S3 but am seriously thinking about going with the Note 2. We're going to BYOD at work and I think this will be my best option.
|
A friend of mine has the note, and while yea, its cool, its novel, etc. Its the size of a ****ing house. I could never use it from a business perspective. It looks like he has an ipad glued to the side of his head

I dont know why ppl are worried about it from the standpoint of how big it looks to your ear. Who cares? If you are using a home home or cordless phone they are all still bigger than the note and nobody says that is too big

Just got mine, all I can say is WOW. This thing made me hard when I removed it from the box. Fits fine in my pocket, dont even notice a difference between it and my galaxy nexus. I highly recommend.

Can anybody tell me how to do split screen? I want to be able to simultaneously surf the web and have half the screen be the internet and other half be youtube, skype or something. Im told it can do this but I have no idea.

I have been looking. Not sure I want to do it, but I'm kinds digging this phone. For those of you that own the phone, would you be willing to tell what you paid? What carrier you're on?
I see on Amazon wireless that the price for one of these phones drops significantly from day to day. Today for Sprint people, it's 199$. Today for new Sprint customers, it's 99$. I've seen it as low 89$. The Verizon version is 149$ today. I'm not sure I want to deal with a phone contract. So I'm hedging. Help me out. |

I paid $300 a little over a month ago. My brother said that he just saw it at Best Buy for $200. |

Ive had it for a week or so. I love the screen, love the size...doesn't bother me at all in my pocket, and love how snappy it is. Has never lagged on me once. The only real complaint I have is for some reason when I reply to a text it starts me off with a "space". It doesn't do it if I go to text someone myself, only when I reply. Also swiftkey doesn't work right with it, half the time the word prediction and auto correct doesn't work so I'm forced to use the Samsung keyboard. I guess that's more the fault of the app than the phone. Not a big fan of the home button either, I wish it were a softkey. And I have never used the stylus once, and doubt I ever will. Besides these minor annoyances its a great phone. EDIT: Oh yeah one more thing...I also cant stand how the enter key on the keyboard is so close to the "back" softkey. When im trying to leave a text Im constantly accidentally hitting the enter key and back at the same time, causing me to save a draft text. This is probably the biggest annoyance of all. |
Down to $169.00 on amazon wireless today. I'll wait until it drops to 99.

Swype is made for one handed typing. I can't even fathom using two hands to type anymore. |
What version of android is the note on? I find the latest stock jb keyboard to be pretty decent.

I like the jb better than swype. I like the numbers at the top and quicker access to punctuation marks.

So what great things are you doing with this phone?

Buying your phone from Amazon, or Best Buy or any third party retailer is a mistake.
You might get away with it once, but sooner or later they will **** your phone bill/service up. I used to work for Verizon, and it was a nightmare trying to fix the problems these places caused. STAY AWAY FROM AMAZON WHEN IT COMES TO PHONES! |
What kind of case is everyone using with their Note 2?

Just ordered one of these, still slim but looks like it will offer a little more protection: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 |
I've been using this one http://www.amazon.com/Ionic-GUARDIAN...xy+note+2+case
It works ok, I like the protection of the otter box, but I hate the bulk. |
I've been using this case, and like it quite a bit. It gives me back the kickstand that I lost with my EVO.
