well stated, I just wish the release date was sooner, but this should be a big Christmas hit.

Yuck, well that sucks that the implementation is such crap. MS on the other hand has Project Austin which seems like it would work perfectly with a stylus but suck with your fingers. (That sounded dirty. NO HOMO!) I'm excited about the promise of Project Austin but it sucks that it doesn;t have more of the Courier functionality ... of course it is just a test project at this point, if it's popular I expect them to make it much more robust. Of course, MS could totally screw it up, like they so often do.

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 .

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.

I agree with this. For me it's a very bizarre phone, and a weird success story for Samsung. I could see it being useful on a tablet, but by all accounts, the 10.1 note is very weak.

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.

I'm getting one next Friday. Because of work I need to us ATT, I think they drop at the stores on 11/9.

Please.. If apple did it, it would be the hottest thing in the market..

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.

Nice, please give an update on the case. I'm picking one up Friday and am leaning against the case right now.

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.
