You can find the picture of the back here and both the front and the back if you click the link to Droid Life. Looks pretty good to me.
i know, this is awesome. i LOVE the red accenting on the inc/evo etc..makes it look distinct!
NOW give it a damn AMOLED!!

Definitely. I can't tell if the lines on the back are popped out though. Like you help you hold on to it. I love the red too! Lol. The 720p is gonna be legit.
720? i bet she'll do 1080 easily. that's the new trend. now let's hope the HD recording actually looks good...unlike our poor inc 1 which has terrrrrribly awful quality.
oh wiat, just realized you meant screen. that too! but amoled! i don't like how LCD looks :\

Not 720p recording. Lol. The screen is 720p. The resolution is 1280x720. I'm sure it'll have 1080p recording too though.
This is my next toy. (assuming it actually comes out)

If this or the Prime don't materialize, it'll signal the end of my contract with Verizon. They're disappointing the heck out of me lately.

Looks good. It's really turning out to be a touch decision on my upgrade in October. Bionic, Vigor, or that mystery samsung device. I'm pretty happy with my Incredible though, maybe I can wait a little longer?
I just hope that the next flagship phone from vzw gets the same great support from the Dev Com as the DINC.

With the Vigor's supposed specs, I'm sure it will have a great dev backing. This is probly goin to be my next device. My contract ended a few days ago and I'm waiting for Verizon to start nagging me to upgrade. Lol

I know some of you are gonna be like "God, that's stupid!", but where's the kickstand? I never thought it would happen, but I was hanging out with my friends last night who all have EVOs and Tbolts, except 1, and we poked fun at his phone for not having one and having to prop it up to look at videos on it. It's stupid, but it's a feature I use almost every day.

The kickstand seems like a good idea for the user but it does propose a problem for the manufacture. You would assume most people would take care of their phones and be careful now-a-days, but most people aren't and any movable part is a part that can break no matter how the quality is it can still break. So they probably moved away because of people trying to get insurance claims or free repairs. Or you can go with the thought of they took it off to make more money. By that I mean if you don't have a kickstand how much more apt are you to buy a $30-$60+ desktop dock? All is this is just IMO, but food for thought.

True, but I don't think that I'd buy a dock anyway. You are right about the whole repairs thing and that the regular person nowadays doesn't really take care of their device.

I can almost guarantee someone will make a decent case with a kickstand built-in.
This will certainly be my next phone as it is the only one worthy to replace the original DINC.. My only hope is that they rename this one the Incredible HD or something with the DINC name for the U.S.

People need to prioritize, they critisize it because it does not have a dual core CPU but really what good is that going to do, its a phone. It isnt like any Android app is that CPU intensive.
no HD video, doesnt matter either, HD video on phones still isnt anywhere comparable to a HD video camera. the resolution may be there but the quality isnt.
I for one rather take on time and priority Android updates over anything else.
I do like this phone, and glad i sold my N1 before the market for N1's shot down.

Damn you!!!!! Lol, I just bit the bullet on eBay on my N1, and yes, prices are lower, I took $50 less than I would've a week ago.
And criticizing something they dont own is the same thing people did with the G2, then people found out it was a really great device. It doesn't help companies or end users when people prematurely "bastardize" a device.

The Nexus 1 got ripped in its first few weeks for its dodgy clearpad 2000 screen which has support for only two touches at a time and its overlapping axis... This just shows you people are never satisfied. The N1 is one of the most important phones in history

I absolutely agree. before I got the phone I read so much crap left and right. All the whining about dual core, no sd, etc...I buckled down sold my N1 and bought the Nexus S the first day and there is no looking back! best move I could have made. The phone is awesome, it's already rooted and will give you the best android experience without the bloatware(sense, touchwiz). Technology moves so fast and people are never happy. Right now, this phone kicks ass!!!

I used to hate Samsung phones (especially regular phones), but this one seems to be the best phone from Samsung and it looks very cool.
No memory card is the only thing I don't like.
I still think Google and Samsung could have done better than this. LOL. LOL
Anyhow, it sounds to me that if you already got rid of your Nexus One you don't have a choice but to now love your Nexus S.

I think this is the first topic I've read without reading a single post whining about this or that. Kudos to everyone in this topic and the whiners that didn't post in this topic. I say whiners because I see it in almost every single damn topic I read through.
I agree. Hopefully in a few weeks or so we'll see all the naysayers and doomsayers pass.
One day and we already have boot unlock (though that was admittedly pretty simple), custom recovery, root, and an optimized kernel. I only see bright things in this device's future, but that might just be the amazing screen!

Probably not. It is an industry first, but it's also pretty much just a gimmick, like 3D. I would have been much more interested in a dual core phone, or even an Evo with an updated processor.
I can see how it would be good for mulittasking...if it had the power of a dual core processor...but the specs are very underwhelming, and the battery life is going to be horrible.
Its not that bad a phone but sprint did themselves a great disservice by hyping it up so much. People where expecting something huge and instead got a phone.

Yes. Yes you are.
The issue is that it "may" be a good phone once some people get their hands on it and play with it.
But you cannot deny the overwhelming negative response (see their facebook page) as a pretty big sign that it may not be a good phone.
If you look at it from a sales/marketing POV they would much rather have a phone that everyone thinks looks really cool at a press release, but then falls a little short of expectation in the real world. At least they sell some phones, and the high initial praise helps sustain the life of the phone.
Now look at this situation, especially in this economy, 99% of the initial response is bordering "verbal lynch mob", even if it a good phone, how many people will actually give it a chance?
First impressions can kill...........
It's an interesting concept, I'll give them that, but it's made by Kyocera, looks like a brick and not a lot of developers will go out of their way to make use of both screens.

I've seen almost nothing on the phone, but I agree. The hype was the worst of it.
I recall saying something similar would be great. I dropped the thought when tablets came.
EDIT-saw the video. WTF? Now I know why people said brick. I no longer have any interest even in passing.
The biggest issue is that from what i understand, its a basic Android. Phone with a 2nd gen snap dragon running 2 screens. Won't that hurt performance?

Actually its the second gen check out engadget fire more proof...i don't feel like providing it.
. Under the hood there's a 1GHz second-gen Snapdragon running Android 2.2 -- we'll forgive the older software because Kyocera had to do extensive customization to add dual-screen support to seven core apps like the browser, email, and messaging.

I have an EVO and I'm switching. Don't get me wrong. I love my EVO to death and have had a blast with it. What I'm switching to the NS for is the Screen, battery life, and updates. I like the EVO screen but the SuperAMOLED screen is clearer and smaller to a size that I like better. 4.3" is too big for me to carry in my pocket. Battery life also. I have an extended battery and don't like the added bulk plus you add a case on top of that? It's just not comfortable for me. Updates is self explanatory.
I love the EVO but I gotta move onto something that fits me better. I'm passing the EVO to my mother who has my old Hero now. She needs something else to cause everyone knows the Hero is well behind standards now. I'll be following up here still. Once that Snap v9 kernel comes out, you can bet I'll be first one to get it!
I personally would love to have one but I want to see how the community welcomes it. I know it's stock android and some people love that but I just want to be sure there will be some steady developers on it. I really hope sense can be ported to it. It's obvious the phone is better than the evo spec wise but I will really miss Sense if I leave the Evo.
Size, speed and updates make it worth it all alone.
My g/f pre-ordered the Nexus S 4G and she was the first one in my area to pre-order it (at least in that particular store.) I'm excited for her to get it and see how it stacks up against my Evo. I know being pure Android it's going to get the updates before anybody else. I also want to see how the screen is.

I'll probably be switching. The look up comparison videos and you'll see how much better the screen is.. Plus faster updates and newer hardware. The specs are the same number wise but the ns is a superior piece of hardware

I'm surprised they didn't do the same on the bottom, and use the slogan, 'Motorola Photon, on the cutting edge of smart phones!' -pew pew-
But really, it looks awkward, and might 'potentially' have awkward use in landscape mode if you have small hands cuz the corners may not sit right.
Though I won't buy it, it gets +1 for the kickstand.

LOL! PEW PEW! You just made my day man
idk about you guys but i like it. i dont understand the edges but atleast its different. Different is always good
I like it. I don't think the angles are so sharp that it really looks that bad and like everyone said the specs are great. Ill keep my evo even if I do buy the photon just in case.

everytime i see your sig with yoda in it i just hit the thanks button lmfao. i cant stop laughing at it.
^LOL Dirky (that dont sound right)
but the edges arent something that will keep my away from buying a phone. maybe it there to make it fit in your hand better, or maybe it is just some dumb design but won't know until i hold it in my hands.
Evo is a bit big for my palm, downsizing is a plus for me

I have to agree, specs are nice, but the form factor, and the angled sides at the top, really?

The specs seem great on paper, but they're easily matched or beaten by the EVO 3D.
It's running 2.2 as opposed to the EVO 3D's 2.3.3
Pentile display versus the 'true' Qhd resolution of the EVO 3D.
The Tegra 2 GPU really isn't all it's cracked up to be, the Adreno 220 easily matches and bests it in some ways.
Also the form factor, as you mentioned, is pretty bad imo.
My reason? I have finally stopped trying to find the perfect Android phone! I have had so many over the years and was constantly looking for the perfect one. Got a GSM Galaxy Nexus last month and fell in love...until I fell out of love with ICS. Seriously if the Nexus came with Gingerbread, it would be just another phone. The camera sucks, etc.
The Note literally has everything I want in a phone. I'm finding myself sitting here enjoying it without searching incessantly for a better phone. Feels kinda strange, actually.
My wallet thanks me and I'm a happy camper. Best phone ever.

Glad to hear it but you might want to take a look at this...http://9to5google.com/2011/12/28/sa...nctionality-device-set-to-unveil-at-mwc-2012/ and they say they have confirmed this. If the same "stuff" comes to the Note...well it will just be better

I really need to stop reading about new android devices. Makes me want to catch em all. But no worries, I love my note.. for now.
I had a try with the galaxy nexus here in the shops....i must say i was very dissapointed with it....the screen is not as vibrant plus ics is also not as good of an os as i was expecting....but maybe thats because i only played with it for about fifteen minutes..
I can honestly say, I wont be buying another device until Galaxy Note 3.
WOW! Those are some specs!
A phone with those specs will be hard to ignore! GNote is doing great for now! It really does do so many things well!
For now the Note is the best.
It has got its problems here and there.
I had problem when I transferred to many apps to Ext SD
and the phone keeps on rebooting. Can't seem to handle
the extra apps in Ext SD, don't why.
Still it is a great phone & mini Tab.
Best combination ever= GNote and Jailbroken iPhone 4.
The SIM is in my note for now, but some times I just needed that smaller form factor. Pop the SIM out of the adapter and back into my iPhone, head on out!

3d without the glasses is TERRIBLE for your eyes. You can cause serious damage if you look at it too long and if you can't do that, then why spend $700+ on it?
Ill stick with good old 2d.

Do you have a cite for this? I have never heard about it.
I tried 3D on the Evo at a store and I was quite impressed with both viewing and the camera. I expect the technology will only get better and I would be pleased if the GS3 has 3D. However I am not sure whether I would want to go back to the smaller size and lose the S-pen.
A Galaxy Note 2 with 3D, NFC and quad-core would be utterly amazing though.

Are you sure that's true? Haven't seen the news on any of the popular tech sites, the phone has a single camera but is supposed to shoot 3D?
Sorry to hear of your troubles ericshmerick.
I cannot understand why your unhappy with the camera, possibly a problem with the camera or phone itself?
As for myself I'm extremely pleased with the camera, video camera and it's results, BEST i've seen in a mobile...
Here are some samples I've taken myself with the Note, you can judge the photos yourself.
Unfortunately I've not had a chance to use the camera during the day just yet, will try and take some proper day time shots soon!

Lol, your right! However he still confused me because his title says: I wish I had never bought my Note...
Then a few lines down he says:
The Note literally has everything I want in a phone. I'm finding myself sitting here enjoying it without searching incessantly for a better phone.
Anyway here are a few more random snaps of junk in my office to show off the camera on the Note...
The snaps are nothing special, just random shots. I'm actually surprised that no one has opened a thread such as ''post your best shots. ''
Here are some random shots I just took at work:

Give me Windows on Note
I completely agree with you.
The Note has the best HW I ever has seen, except the placement of the on/off switch, which, however, is a minor disadvantage. But Android is terrible, synchronisation with Outlook is terrible, lot of apps are terrible and very badly designed or not intuitive to use. I like it as an eBook reader. The rest is a crap more or less, unusable for business.
I wished this device having Windows!!!
