Galaxy Note S - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General

Just read about this possibly being an updated note with quad core. Anyone else heard anything?
From the giant: Galaxy Note

heard its my next phone. Ill never go back to anything smaller.I go cross eyed looking at my wife iphone.

I'm betting nothing is announced for at least another 3-4 months. The first was announced in what, September? Samsung doesn't seem to replace their flagships that quickly.

I said the same thing after I got the Dell Streak, which is why I got a NOTE in December and women say SIZE doesn't matter?

Update for gnote wont be announced for at least 6 months. In the US gnote it still not released. They are investing big in this phone with Superbowl ad and so on. They have a big market here and Samsung wont be disappointing the users with an early announcement of gnote successor.

It's not? It's not THE flagship, but it's still a Hero device for them. Think about it. There were so many ads in vegas about the AT&T Note, they are putting on a Super Bowl add, etc. That may well be more money spent than SGS2 marketing on all 4 carriers.
Granted, that's just US, but they are treating it like a flagship. Besides, when was the last time you heard Samsung celebrate the sales of a single phone that wasn't a flagship? Not often, yet they did with the note.
I would call this a flagship alright. Not the SGS class flagship, but not more than a notch or two below.

Well, it's the 14th and no word from Dell. Screw them, I'm going with the Samsung Galaxy S / Captivate. I've had enough of Dell's BS. Let the flaming begin!

I am in the same boat. Dell and AT&T are taking too long to give me any info on release a release date, and AT&T has yet to acknowledge the phone even exist by the way. So I am going with the Captivate as well. It also looks more promising as it will have a giant community to back it up. Plus Samsung is going to release the phone's source code something Dell has yet to do.

Riiggghhhhttt.... I've been following the Streak since it was first seen in December 2009. They've totally blown any PR for this device.
As for Samsung updates - the Captivate has already been rooted and it hasn't even been released! Are you daft? You're a "senior member" on this board and you're going to try to use "software updates" as a detterent? That's what this whole damned site is for! I've loaded so many custom ROMs on my phones from this site it's crazy! Your statements are just plain stupid.

Another thing stupid about the software updates comment - the Streak is shipping with 1.6! At least the Captivate ships with 2.1!
Now tell me, who's going to be waiting on software updates? Maybe you were one of the people that got burned on the Behold 2? By a piece of sh*t, no matter who you buy it from, and you get what you pay for.

Dude shut up, you sound like a b***h you are making us look bad infront of our brothers and sisters across the pond . ATT is not going to over lap two major phone releases. The Galaxy S phone is coming sunday (I think). Dell Streak is the next big release phone on ATT or TMO or both. The release date and more info could be coming out probably next week. ATT is not going to cut the head off of Galaxy S sales either so you are probably looking at a mid Aug release its just common sense if you think about it. Stop whinning and talk about how badarse Lock Stock and two smoking barrels is.

Sorry dumb American forgetting to convert currency =P
Still even at $50/mo for a FREE Streak thats an amazing deal compared to anything in America. We will have to either buy it subsidized for $199 and pay $70/mo for 2 yrs or buy it unlocked for $500 and pay $50/mo anyways

Upcoming Sumsung Phone on Verizon

I know some people have been turned off from the lack of updates from Samsung/Verizon or whatever. (I blame Bing)
Unlike other people, after owning the Fascinate.. I actually would love to buy another Samsung phone.
I can't give up the SAMOLED screen. I actually like the over-saturated colors. They give it a POP in comparison to other screens.
What's next.... Samsung Droid Charge... meh.... Not sure why this has no appeal to me? Anyone else feel the same?
However, the Galaxy S 2, I'm completely drooling over this phone....Anyone think the Galaxy S 2 would come to VZW - or the US... ?
Post #7... Done!

$299 WITH contract?!? The prices keep creeping higher and higher with a contract for new equipment. All it means is that I'll have to wait a little while longer (unfortunately). Prices always drop, new phones come, etc.
credit card = no contract lol, normally buy a phone then sell old to help make up difference, but sgs2 will be my next phone for sure. updates are not the selling factor for me the hardware is and I own a lot of sammy products and they have always been top-notch

There is always Certified Pre-Owned as well. This phone was an upgrade for me from the OG Droid 1 and it costed me 49 bucks. Best 50 I've ever spent. So hopefully by the time my contract expires I'm hoping CPO Galaxy S 2's will be available.

WHOA. I had no idea it was that close to release, I thought it would come out in September at the earliest. Geez, I wonder if I Verizon will let me trade in my Fascinate for it, and I just pay whatever difference there is. My phone sound quality sucks, the GPS is a mixed bag, and I can complain about them not pushing Froyo to their phone yet (yes, I do currently have a Froyo rom on my phone, but it's still a legitimate complaint since it's a leak I have running). I really really want the new Galaxy S II. Worst case scenario, I'll have to find some way of getting the money to purchase it for full-price off contract.
According to a leaked Verizon roadmap, the SGS2 may arrive as early as next month on Verizon(with LTE!):
"Verizon’s spring roadmap has 8 Android phones releasing in less than 60 days"
I am sorry, but that Road Map is fake (I hope I'm wrong). I would LOVE the S2 to come out next month... but... I'd look for it by the end of the summer. The only question is, will it be the actual S2, or an altered step child like the Fascinate to the Original Galaxy S?
We should make a list for upcoming non-Samsung phones.

that sucks that it's going to be lte. I don't even have it in my area, and by then I'm guessing the price of data plans will have gone up for 4g phones
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I know I definitely plan on making the S2 my next phone. I'm with the OP in that I'm not at the least turned off by Samsung. I blame Verizon. I've been through this before with the OG Storm. Yes, Rim was responsible for some hardware issues but in the software realm, Verizon sucked in releasing timely firmware to fix software glitches. I had to rely upon the BB community in order to get my phone up to snuff. If Verizon didn't have such a large and reliable network, I'd leave them.

Samsung Galaxy S III - first half of 2012

http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/30/samsung-teases-4g-tablet-for-2011-galaxy-s-iii-in-first-half-of/
I was gonna get the iphone4.. but waited it out for the SII... i then bought the SII and i had many problems with it.. so i sent it back.
I thought ill wait for the iPhone5 and now this XD
Why cant they bring new phones out atleast every 2years lol
Eh...
Might as well wait for the IV
its hard to save bucks for all the beauties coming our way.
ummmmmmmmmmm....(how should I react.)......
Probably a quad core device?
On a slightly different note, GS2 has already sold more than 1million units in Korea in 1 month.
http://www.insidecellphone.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-hits-1m-units-in-korea-breaks-records/
Not bad, ha!!
They had an estimate of 10m sales. Looks like 10% is already covered by a single country in a month.

Thanks a lot!
Been pondering over this decision for literally the last month and have become of an addicted to the forums! First it was sensation vs galaxy, and then it was GSII or GSIII/Hercules and now it's settled!
At least now I can go ahead an preorder my GSII, knowing it won't be "epically" outdated by Samsung by year end.

Samsung Galaxy S II tops iPhone 4 sales in UK

http://www.mynextfone.co.uk/news/article/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-tops-iphone-4-sales-in-uk-
With so many GS2 users, I hope Samsung will take the GS2 seriously and fix current problems (battery, etc.). Also, It seems HTC lost much of its sales power (it seems that the Sensation simply can't compete).
To be honest it's not really a fair contest, as the iPhone 4 is last year's news. If iPhone 5 would have been released today, I think we know who would have won...
the linked page - not saying the facts are correct or incorrect, but come on, no source and no actual numbers? this is extremely amateurish.
and to your point that iP4 is too old to be compared to SGS2 I also want to add that UK sales of SGS2 are really actually INTERNATIONAL sales because many people from outside the UK bought their SGS2s through UK channels. Thousands a month I would estimate went off shore.

iPhone 5 would have won, we all know that. But I think, they wouldn't have won by "as much" as last year. Just look how many (of course I'm talking about the UK here) solid iPhone users have moved over to Android, or more specifically the GSII.
And I love how Apple release their iPhone - or at least used to - release their iPhone when it was the only thing in the market. Give speculation, tempt users to wait, they then see the flashing iPhone and then say, "oh that device I wanted a couple of months back is old now" So let's just get the iPhone 5.
This year (depending on when Android 4 or Ice Cream is released) it'll actually be vaguely fair. Of course Apple will win because Apple have a product cycle of 1 year. Each iPhone lasts about a year before their software begins to cut off features (to make up upgrade to the new one) and their marketing makes the older model should rubbish. Android phones (the top band) are meant to last longer, so there's no influx of sales. The sales are spread across various manufacturers' flagship models and over the course of the year and over the course of Android updates.
And so if these phones are released within a week of each other (which they won't be because Steve Jobs won't do that....he'll probably delay it) the sales, IMO won't be as huge as they were for the iPhone 4. They still win, but by not as much.

Look at this:
http://www.samsunghub.com/2011/06/10/over-a-million-galaxy-s-ii-activated-in-south-korea/
1 million SGS2 devices sold in South Korea alone in the 4 weeks of May (!!!)... (just to compare, it took the original iPhone 74 days to reach 1 million users, globally !)
It's hard to comprehend that by now, there could be several million owners of SGS2 globaly. This is insane !!!
Edit:
Here is a comparison regarding the SGS2 vs iPhone 4 sales:
- iPhone 4 sold 3 million devices in its first month (Globally).
- SGS2 had 3 million pre-orders globally (that is, before it started to sell).
I think that the SGS2 might be the fastest selling smartphone, ever.
The more SGS2 Samsung sells the better the support will be, so keep on buying

At lest better than HTC, I cant even remember my Desire getting Gingerbread and even tough all the new sense versions were running just great on it HTC never oficially ported them, they just didnt care at all and pushed phone after phone after phone while samsung ported gingerbread and at least seems to help the community (donated cyanogen devs etc.). Compared to the rest of Manufacturers Samsung actually had a great support even for the sgs1 and I doubt sgs2 is getting a worse one.

Even if you are right (and those 3 million pre-orders are not already at the hand of customers), we already know that it sold 1 million alone in South Korea (in 1 month), and it hasn't even started to sell in the USA, which is the biggest market !!, there is no chance that with the US market included it will fall behind the iPhone 4 sales.
I'm not going to explain in a 10 part post, but daivik is really smart and bullseye on topic. Everything he/she said is on the money

Hmmm, let me think about this.... If someone comes out with a jackhammer that men can use to sodimize themselves with and it outsells the sgs2 would I care? No. I really dont care how good a piece of hardware it is or who likes it, just aint my thing. So it is with the iphone, if others enjoy it and like how their hardware functions and what it does for them, great. Let them sell a gazillion to those people and let them pour the coals to it. Its got nothing to do with me.

I was just skimming the thread, before my post. And I got the impression that a few were saying that the GSII sales weren't as high. And so I just wanted to give my opinion why and shed some light on the fact that you've always got Apple loyalists, and basically how that is under real threat. And that threat will only grow for Apple in the future.

This sort of thing really puts me off getting this phone I certainly don't want to buy a phone for it to be out of date in 1 month.
It's put me off buying the current G3 too. I've read every review and 'hands on' preview going and I was even willing to look past only getting the 2GB version, but knowing there might be an upgraded version in the (very) near future will make me stay away from the current G3 until there is definite clarification

Well that's the million dollar question. That article says it's expected in July, which isn't that far away really, so if nothing else surfaces about it by the end of July you could probably safely assume that it was either just a rumour OR it's a new flagship that LG has planned for later in the year/next year/whenever

LG should do a free upgrade for anyone who has just brought it as a gesture of good will if they go ahead and release a 805 in a few weeks.

Haha, they should!.. But they won't I'd be amazed if an upgraded G3 with 805 actually happened, especially this side of the Pacific but we shall see. It states released in July but in regions outside of Korea the device isn't even being released until July in the first place, so it only really makes sense if it's being limited to a specific audience. It's a massive douche move though, to release a "flagship" and then release an upgraded model in the same year... or potentially same month!

It's a massive douche move though, to release a "flagship" and then release an upgraded model in the same year... or potentially same month!

That would be the best kept secret in smartphone history, if it happened haha. On the plus side, I can stop myself from looking at phone contracts on a daily basis for the next month or so!

Yeah that's the deal I was going to punt for, there was a T-Mobile contract for 500 mins @ £27 a month too if I remember correct
Strong rumours of the S5 Prime and M8 Prime were stated just days after the release of those devices, now several months later there is still no official sign of the devices with a vague link to Android Silver (also a rumour!) in February.
If there is going to be a new g3 I would suggest it won't be out for quite some time.

Unfortunately it doesn't help potential buyers who don't want their phones to be obsolete pretty much right after buying it.
I cannot wait to get rid of my iPhone 5S so will get the G3 anyway.
Am actually laughing at the hue n cry here. Dudes, there will always be updates to electronic gadgets and particularly with smartphones in recent years.
All the issues & complaints by early buyers would be rectified in the 2nd set of production. How many cases of such we have seen in recent past. [Nexus 5 speaker grill modification being the latest ].
So no point in fuming at these developments. How much ever you might have been attracted by a device, its always better to wait for a considerable period before procuring one. There has to be always somebody to get it first right. so be it.
Chill dudes.

Iphone 6 is likely to be September/October time.
If you keep waiting there is always going to be a "next device", something is released roughly every 3 months these days, so there comes a point where you just have to accept it and pick a device.
I try, if I can help it to get a device as close to its release date as possible in order to minimise this, but there is no point worrying that it may or may not be replaced with something better in 3-6 months time.

If it's in 6 months then I won't care but right away is a bit of a piss take and I know there is always something new around the corner and I am getting the 801 G3 anyway.

I agree but if the phone is out of date literally 1 month after owning it that is a bit of a kick in the teeth, 6 months later yeah that's cool that happens but 1 month??

Yep. Point taken. 1 month is really a tight slap on early buyers choice. But based on rumours going around, that handset with 805 might get launched only in Korean market.
Nevertheless, ppl can still import it from Korea. That would impact the price factor..hmm..not sure abt it.
