Really like Nexus one, I think it is still one of the best designed Android phone.

nexus one
+ WORKING MULTI-TOUCH SCREEN
+ a slide-out qwerty keyboard
+ 4.0" rather than 3.7" screen
+ more ROM space and RAM and improved CPU and GPU
+ dedicated camera button
+ dedicated call and end buttons (no idea why phones no longer use these)
until this phone comes out, im sticking with my n1

I made ​​it to my there to say goodbye

i still have my nexus one and i want to upgrade to the galaxy nexus. but to be honest i am quite sad because i do not want to leave my phone that has so much great memories in it same reason i did not buy any other phone till now

My NExus one died yesterday night, it fell on its screen and hit the corner of a wooden desk, it was such a hard fall that the screen shattered from the inside and now its just black.
I was literally this close to crying for it, and if i wasn't a grown man, i wouldve shamelessly wept over it!
The touch screen still works perfect, but its just black screen
Guess I'll get a samsung galaxy S2, I liked the galaxy nexus, but its pretty much the same, only the s2 has a micro sd and 8 mp over the galaxy nexus
And with cyanogen, am sure we'll be seeing the ICS ported out reaaallllyyy soon

You're not the only one, I dropped my Nexus about a 5 min walk from house yesterday and now I have spiderglass, touch screen still works though.
Was thinking about the Galaxy Nexus also but it wasn't what I thought it would be so I am gonna go with a SGS2 also.
Its a curse how many of us most of broke our phones on the Nexus Galaxy launch day.

My thoughts exactly!
It's just that having the being obsoleted hardware buttons would probably suck especially if it's a new phone. Thoughts?

Well, actually you are keep both of them, one for day-use in front of the public, the other one for bed time.

Sold my N1 as well. Damn fine phone, but I got a good deal on a Nexus S. I decided to jump while I could get a decent sale price on the N1. There are some things I do miss like that goofy trackball. You get used to LED notifications and having a physical button for pictures.

LED notifications are awesome...

Black screen
I have a glass shattered N1 but its just not powering on , when you guys say "touch screen works , but black screen " means does it vibrate and power on or nothing happens when you power it on ....

I wish I never sold my N1.. people are telling me it's worth quite a buck even now!!!
I miss the trackball, and the LED glowing different colours lol
And the AMOLED screen! (awesome for it's time, and although Samsung still looks after us there, I have a HTC Desire HD with crappy LCD now)
Although I heard that later N1s came with a SuperLCD instead of AMOLED, following the shortage loooool
Main reason I sold it was because it only gave 128MB of app memory (as opposed to Desire HD's over 1GB, and newer phones slightly more). Even with Apps2SD (to move the majority of app data to SD card), it still wasn't enough for the hundreds of apps I wanted. Oh well..

Such a great phone. I dont want to think about the day ill have to part with it.

Anybody else trying to hold out for the Nexus 4?
Hang in there! We got Ice Cream Sandwich to squeeze some more life out of our N1s!

I'm going to at least get my hands sticky with ICS on the N1 before making any big decisions.

Lol, I have tried to replace the Nexus one two days back with the Motorola RAZR but I could not do it. Though as I could not return it and had to exchange it I got the Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE and this seems to be a quite persuasive phone. The only problem I have ever had with the Nexus one is the calls voice quality on my N1 handset. I am more convinced its my handset not every N1 as some of my friends claimed a great quality voice calls on theirs, but fixing that will be messy . Though no the N1 is not going to away, its just will be my secondary phone for my personal phone . Maybe you can call it he is upgraded .

Goodbye streak 5 forum, It's been fun.

Starting sunday I will be a proud owner of the new At&t Samsung Note. I would like to thank everyone here for the help they've provided and all the support that was given to me. For those of you that will make the switch with me to the samsung note fourm see you on the other side. For those of you that will remain here it was nice knowing you and once again thank you for everything. farewell.

Same here I will be switching over too. I hate to leave my streak but it has been a great ride. Thank u to everyone.

I didn't really feel that was the case for me personally...when I held them side-by-side. But I must say the Note feels more comfortable to grip overall.
I probably won't get the at&t Note until the end of this month/ start of next month. Hoping that stable ICS will be out by then...or even if not, I'll finally get it due to impatience.
But for the time being...I'm planning to use my HP Pre 3 again next week....Much different from the Streak and Note...but still 55555 times better than iPhones.

It's not so much the .3" difference, but the reduction in bezel. Oh, and the massive bump in resolution. Night and day. Also feels much better in hand as it feels so much thinner and with the rounded back. The drop in 40 or so grams also helps too.

oh nothing major, just, you know, the size.
I always use the phone one handed and with the streak I sometimes wish it was just a couple millimeters smaller. I must admit though that the note fits better in the hand, maybe it's because of the reduced width or the chassis design, don't know.
And another major point is that I'm not going to repeat the streak experience with manufacturer support and such (although I am pretty sure sammy is not going to screw up as dell). the nexus line will always come first, update-wise, and that's his major selling point for me.

I'd light to hear more information about people that make the switch, stability of the customer roms on the Nook, for example, wifi when sleeping. And other con/pros.

Note is a great device,smooth and awesome,still,I am gonna to stick to streak for now.cuz note is too expensive in cn,one note=two streak and more.besides,note feels like a toy.

Note 2 to have unbreakable screen in October!!!

http://news.mk.co.kr/english/newsRead.php?rss=Y&sc=30800011&year=2012&no=360619
The next Note will have an even larger screen with flexible AMOLED, which is unbreakable! Sounds amazing if true! I want one!

I hope this is true but will put me in a dilemma as I was thinking of getting the note 10.1!

I will get Note 10.1! ..if they will ever release it

If it only was true.....
The note 1 is supposed to have gorilla glass, scratch proof etc. etc. How many have already their screen scratched ?? Battery life improvement with a bigger lcd ?? If we don't use our devices they will last at least a week, that's true !!
I never had the expected battery life they anounced using the phone normally, in fact the ics update made things worse... What's the point of anouncing things that aren't (yet) possible ??
After the latest problem with the update (that they already knew from earlier devices, nexus for example) they still insist in errors from tha past that shouldn't even be possible....... Well i really like my note i just don't like samsung. If they don't solve the problems with the first note before launching the second one .......... But it's all to be in the race with apple...
I'm starting to think i should have bought a zte or an lg.......

So is the windshield of my car....... no big advertisement here.
I will not flash a rom untill the bug is solved. Yes i will miss my note if it bricks since the average repair time seems to be 2-3 weeks and still will come with the same problem.

How about the glass that covers the screen and the digitizer?

Ever noticed how many scratches your windshield has in direct sunlight ??

Here is the mock up image http://i.imgur.com/kZuwC.jpg and source http://www.motoringcrunch.com/news/mobile-tech/10946-samsung-galaxy-note-2-s3-rumors

Hope they stick with current screen size. It is perfect.

I bought mine on last sunday, i say i wont replace it for years! It's the best phone i ever had... and dude... i had lots! I was addicted to apple products, then i bought galaxy nexus 2 months ago and now i have the note. Its awesome...

Got my note upon first release in November, I love it dearly, but I want to move on. I think I want something bigger.... I'm waiting to hear about the Nexus Tablet... hopefully that thing is all I expect it be be, and I will use that as my phone

Oh boy... and here comes the speculation....

Yep, if it wasn't for insurance...... Can't find a screen protector with the right size for it

What I love is the fact that people equate flexible to unbreakable.
I bet if you sit on a flexible screen the wrong way so as to fold it it would break. Reminds me of all the talk when CD's first came out, they said they were unbreakable, my car and the sun proved them wrong in the first week of owning one.
I will be happy if they have a flexible display as I wont be tempted to upgrade.
But like I posted elsewhere I cannot see it happening. What makes the Note unique (besides its size) is its S-pen, as the s-pen requires sensors behind the screen to detect the button presses I can not see how they would incorporate that is a flexible screen.
But I may be wrong

From how I read it the only reason they are using the flexible screen tech is because its much thinner, this will either allow a thinner device then the current note or keep the dimensions giving room for a larger battery. That mockup prototype has nothing to do with the note 2 and I cant ever see a phone design like that. If you put any decent force on it in that folded position the thing would break unless it was made of rubber.
I dont expect it to actually have a flexible screen unless its some type of flip foldout multiscreen design which I doubt it will have, this would make it a true phone tab hybrid if its in the note form factor but could extend out to a tablet. This will probably be the note 3 that does this I wouod think and not something out in october.
Note 2 will likely have a 5.5-5.7 inch screen hopefuly around 1080p with a 3000mah battery or slightly larger if possible. The physical size wont be much larger then the current note but heavier due to the larger battery as larger capacity equals more weight. Being a note it will have a stylus for sure and the phone going by this release will have the same quad as the gs3 maybe slighlty higher clocked, not the faster arm v15 duel core.

guys i dont want an unbreakable screen and stuff....i just want sammy to not foolishly waste the marvels they create!!example: the note:its by far THE BEST phone ive ever used...screen unbelievable: the day i bought it, another guy was buying the s3 and i didnt even feel bad, my phone was looking way better than his..
but i say waste their marvels coz: that ungodly black crush issue. heck almost every note had it in that store and moreover their dealers denied it, saying it was absent when all you had to do was open the calculator app and see the ugly banding right there..they refused to accept and said it was 'the design'..
and photos taken in the dark have this issue too...
other than this this phone ROCKS!!!!! I mean the size is just coooool..never slows down under any kind of multitasking, never heats up, battery is superb..
just wish for note 2, they COMPLETELY get rid of this issue!!! note rocks!!
my note2 = note - black crush + stable ics !!!! ( dont get better than that!!!)

I will never waste more money on another updated note...its never worth it lol this note is perfeft size. Any bigger would be stupid but tk each their own. I got my note sim free so i paid a gud amount for it. I wont be sucked in with tiny updates and 12 mp camera, just another stunt to make folks spend more money.

A sacrifice for the HTC One

Hello everyone .
I'm pretty set on getting this device, unless the S4 comes out with something amazing or a design that looks better. I've had the S3 and currently use a Note 2 but I am so sick of the plastic unmodern feeling and the laggy TouchWiz that is only good to use for the first week.
I'm selling my Note 2 today.. but sadly the HTC One is not out :S. Meaning I'll probably be waiting a couple weeks with either a cracked S3 or an HTC Evo :S.
I was wondering if you guys think it is worth it? I know the S4 is being announced in two weeks but really I don't know what their "killer" feature will be.
Hardest part for me is having a crappy phone until the HTC One or S4 come out,lol.

The leaks are already showing a squarish shape. Same processor ram. 1080p plastic aluminum plastic design.
So its all up to you

It is more than worth it, i sold my note 2 around a month ago and have been using a BB 8320 and now a 5800 until the One comes out, I was set to get the Xperia Z until I played with the One and it was superior so now I have a 18 day wait but I know its going to be worth it

Exactly, but the square shape wouldn't be that bad if it is metal . Same with the processor, it's more of how the software utilizes the hardware D:.

I guarantee you won't feel it to be a 'sacrifice'. I'm happy February has only 28 days LOL

Haha, yes, 28 days is a blessing. I can survive 2 weeks.. I hope. Let's go!

The only reason i am not considering the S4 is because its gonna be the usual plastic body that Samsung always have if they follow what they have done in the past with all there other phones, and knowing Samsung they wont be going with an aluminum body. Also I think TouchWiz isn't too attractive looking and S Voice is a joke. Even if Samsung actually includes an aluminum build on the S4, I'm getting the One. Its just way too good to pass up.

I too have a gs3 and going tô ignore s4 for 3 reasons: plastic,touchwiz and sound.

I don't think the leak design of the Galaxy S4 will be final, just like last year. There was a few Galaxy S3 prototype floating around.
But the Galaxy S4 should be similar to the HTC One in terms of performance, just a higher clocked CPU & GPU which the developer here should be able to fix !
The display will be same if the rumour are true, SoLux = Super LCD 3, just 5" vs 4.7". But material wise the HTC One should be better.

Here's my situation. I have a Mytouch 4g Slide which got broken and currently using an old phone for text and calling while searching for a new phone to replace it.

My current gadgets right now is only the image below and an iPod

Me too sold my note 2 on ebay. Need to buy either HTC ONE or S4. Will buy Gs4 only if it offers better design which is not likely to happen. With One i can sacrifice a small performance for better design and boomsound. Moreover 4mp os enough for me and if it increases pics quality it would be better for me

Well, sir.
I am currently stuck with a Pink Samsung Instinct.
And I'm not a woman.

My Note 3 "review" coming from a Note 2...

I have the Note 2 (international N7100) and the AT&T Note 3...
I can say that if you don't have an upgrade available it definitely IS NOT worth paying full retail price for the phone to go from a Note 2 to a Note 3.
I signed a new 2 year agreement to get it for $288.88 and I can turn around and sell my Note 2 for $350-400, easily making my money back...
The pros with the Note 3 are that the screen is absolutely beautiful! Besides the S4 this is the most amazing screen I have ever seen with my own eyes. Next, comes the software. There's a lot of new small changes that make things easier to use, however most of these things will be coming to a Note 2 via an update. If you're into aesthetics then this device looks more "premium" over a Note 2 and I almost don't want to cover it with a case.
As far as performance goes, you can notice it slightly. Apps open slighty faster, but it is nothing drastic. TouchWiz eats up over 1 gig of ram leaving a little more than 1 gig free for user apps. On my note 2 with my custom rom I would use about 600mb of ram leaving a little more than 1 gig free also. Not really any improvements here.
Some buggy things I've noticed so far are that my text vibration is very weak compared to others such as gmail. Also every app gives me a vibration alert even if I turned it off. Probably just app issues with 4.3.
There's a lot of bloat on here even for a carrier phone. Most of it is from Samsung it seems and can not be disabled or removed.
Besides the few "pros" I see with the Note 3, I would not recommend anyone to purchase it over a Note 2 unless you have an upgrade you can use. Especially an AT&T one with a locked bootloader, which forces you to keep all these useless apps running on your phone. However if you are coming from another device such as the S3, or any earlier phones it is a huge upgrade. I don't know if I would go from an S4 to the Note 3 though unless you just wanted a bigger screen and more battery life. They're basically the same phone just without the S-Pen.

I went from the S4 to the note 3. I think 4.3 is just the big difference to me.

I have all 4 devices you mentioned, and the note 3 is starting to grow on me a little bit. I still prefer my note 2 as far as aesthetics go, but if root it is not achieved soon, I will return this thing

Had an upgrade and Sam's Club and Walmart are selling it for that price.

Interesting.
I also upgraded from the n7100 (Note 1 before that) which I've had since it's release, but I feel the Note 3 to be a pretty decent improvement all the way around, enough to be worth the expense. That's just me though. My only complaint is the amount of bloat (a fair amount of which can be disabled thankfully), but knock on wood we'll have root at some point...though to be honest, I'd still like it even if that fails to appear.

Came from an S4 also which was my first Android phone. That thing ran warm and battery drained quickly but not in a problematic way.
Really like the Note 3 just wish there wasn't a tiny gap between bezel and glass around the top near the earpiece. I'm nit picking now. ...

I'm coming from an S4 to the Note 3 and I can definitely notice the differences other than the screen.
The N3 has 3GB ram whereas the S4 has 2GB. I've had 16 applications open (Gmail, E-mail, Chrome with 3 windows, a few games, etc) on the N3 and was able to switch between them with no lag whatsoever. The N3 dwarfs the S4 side-by-side yet only weighs about an ounce more (each with a case). The S-Pen is a lot more useful than I thought, I've used it to jot down notes, writing to text, written mms, captions, and just seems to make navigation on desktop-size webpages much easier. The S-Pen also works in most of the games I've play, which allows for more precise movements/selections.
The battery life on the S4 was good, and I averaged around 4 hours of screen time. My N3 is at 7% right now with 7 hours and 17 minutes of screen time (auto brightness on both). I don't find one-handed operation difficult, even without using the special features to resize windows. I have a lot of cases for my S4, and as soon as I can verify AT&T gave me the proper unlock code, hope to get over $400 for it. I've enjoyed the Galaxy series of phones, but I have to admit the N3 is the most enjoyable phone I've had since I first discovered Android years ago.
I tend to switch phones within a year, and I have the luxury of having 2 lines in which I swap upgrades, but the N3 is the first phone that I can see myself keeping longer than a year. The Note series is definitely love at first sight.

Note 8.0
I have Note 3, I like its all features. Now I just seen review about Galaxy note 8.0 in LuLu Good Life website,it is so awesome.
