Each phone that is released has something new that makes me want to buy it. Some people want smaller phones, I wanted larger. Larger than this would be nuts .. for me anyway .. I couldn't hold a larger phone. So what is next? What could possibly be better than this? I guess other makers will just try to improve on this phone leaving the size alone.

That is why I am waiting for this one. For me the perfect size is the biggest screen size that will still fit into my pants' front pockets.
"It Can't Get Better Than THIS .."
Thats what she said!
it all comes down to the cpu/gpu i would think. 2ghz+ cpu's, gpu's that rival the psp, how about game streaming like that coming out soon, no need for powerful gpu's then. want to play the latest ps3 game on the go would be no problem with game steaming. but with that kind of option network operators would need to sort out their tariffs.
just a few thoughts
Tbh, I don't find the streak too big. But then I'm nearly 2m tall and can wrap my hand around it pretty easily in portrait mode..

I never really paid attention to your name, lol. I'm quoting a guy who happened to use "sheesh" when he was telling this dude to calm down. I saw it and it made me laugh so hard that people around me here at work asked me if everything was okay.
Aside from that I plan on using the Streak (if released for TMO USA) as my primary phone. I am currently looking for the best bluetooth out there. As I plan to try and not to slap the streak against my face.
From what I've seen and read the streak just seem overwhelming to us Yanks because everything gets smaller and now there is a tablet/phone that is breaking that barrier. When I bought an extended battery for my g1 you should have seen the reaction from ppl. They acted like it was a brick.

I got it because i wanted a Tablet not a phone but now i have used it my TP2 is on the back burner and i use this as my main phone,like i said its outstanding now but when 2.2 is on in sept (i hope) what will it be like then.
If i had a choice of any phone in the world this would win every time but i still do not see it as a phone to me its a Tablet that can make calls what a bonus

Thanks for the reply, i've just sent back my iPhone 4, and will be buying out my contract and starting a new one with o2 solely for this phone, hope it's worth it, but it does sound as though it is, also i've had a play with it in the o2 shop a couple of time.

BTW .. I have one of the Dell "give-away" phones. Unlocked for ATT and T-Mobile. I am NOT getting a 3G signal. I don't know if that is something I need to turn on or if it should automatically connect to 3G. On my Nexus One I could turn it on and off and I left it off because it sucked the battery dry half way through the day.

I plan on getting one as soon as they are released here in the U.S. I'm 6'7" or just over 2m tall myself, so I don't think I will have any problems using the phone myself. Actually, it will probably almost look normal in my hands. That's also why I got a Great Dane

Yes, main phone. It is just the right size for me. Perfectly balanced. Yes, ok, it looks a little big when you use it as a phone, but I am 6'3" so I can handle it.
It fits well into your pocket, you have to remember that it is thin. It isn't much bigger than some leather wallets.
I love my device... I can confidently say... I would be hard pressed to go back to a smaller phone now, as I would lose so much in doing so.
The streak is so much more than a phone.
When people (who generally that havent used a Streak) say it is too big.... well that is like saying a laptop is too big for a MP3 player.
shEEEsh said:

The only way they could make it better for the U.S. would be to make a version with T-Mobile 3g bands.
There is no chance I would ever pay $500 for the Streak if I still had to pay $65/mo for voice + data on Att with a 2gb limit.
If Dell actually follows through with a T-mobile 3g version then I will insta-buy it

The thicker tab will hit Vodafone (spelling?) in the UK. A '4G' (HSPA+) version will come 'this year'.
It's ALL a little iffy.
I believe that in Europe it will be called the 10.1v ... and the thinner (better¿) one will just be the 10.1... the 10.1v is almost in preorder if I am correct

10.1v is indeed coming to European shops in few days. Seems like Vodafone wanted to be "first and exclusive: and they are the only ones that signed deal with Samsung at MWC. This means that they have to get this 10.1 in and prey to God to sell it which to me seems as an impossible task.
It can not compete with iPad 2, it can not compete with Transformer, it can not compete with Iconia a500. + because it is exclusive to Vodafone it will be pricey...
I am waiting for HSPA+ vet of new 10.1 SD card slot is a must with tablet... an why not others? Tavket has to be as light as possible, Super IPS screen is big +, battery is also very good.
I hope they will be fast.... as the things stand at the moment I am not that convinced that S1 (since it will have Tegra 2 inside???) is a good option but once it is introduced in flesh.... who knows.
I would prefer to buy 10.1 instead of being pulled towards S1 and wait even more

Agreed EXCEPT for the HSPA+. Besides it's thin-ness the main draw of the thin tab was it's price. It has to be competitive in price and on a competitive network for when it gets '4G'. So i'd say $500 for an unlocked LTE version would kill all competition.
And maybe a nice dock?
I am only planning on getting a wifi version .. but I really hope that there is something like the ipad2 cover that apple made... it is nice a sleek... I can live with it not turning off the screen but it makes feel more book-like and I think that that would be a great thing to have

Ditto. I doubt there will be an LTE version. I'm buying the wifi version. And if there isn't a smart cover-like thing I'm going to try to make one. And the book like feel is one of the things I love about my nook. I'm just worried that if Samsung does make a smart cover clone, Apple will say that they're copycats.

Is it responsive or not when using Stylus on Iconia? Thank you.
I have never used the pen you are talking about, but the targus stylus I use is very accurate on my tablet.
The Kensington stylus is very accurate also (link).
There's a new style that just came out and it's a big improvement over the past styles.
In the past, you have to angled the tip correctly in order to registered input... now there's a new styles ( P504 & P506 ) that have a flexible tip with dummies proof contact... LOL
and they are known to throw in freebies... I bought the P504 and got the P506 for free.

Dude, the Jot Pro looks sick. I went ahead and preordered it. I like the dagi, but I have one of the previous dagi's with the fixed angle disc, and while it worked well, It wasn't a very good drawing tool, and it scratched my gtablet. While the Acer has a gorilla glass screen, I think Ill spend the extra loots for the protective cap, and heavier stylus. The dagi was just so light.

I've thought about getting one but don't want to spend 30 bucks on something I haven't held yet. Do you have a caliper you can measure the diameter of the grip? or can you relate it to some other pens? I like the thicker pens so I can grip them
Also, how does it work with the button?

Some comparisons from my S-Pen collection. The lower 1/4 is rubberized so it's easier to grip and that's where the button is. It's a little far down but it's the same way on the stock pen. It works well and feels fine if that's your concern.

Heya everyone,
First off all I would like to say it's great to be here on the XDA forums. I look forward to my time here.
As for this thread, I live in the Netherlands and screen protectors like the Spigel SGP aren't easy to come by if you don't want to pay for absurd shipping costs. So I was wondering if the official Samsung Screen Protectors impair S-Pen functionality. Since its Samsung and the note 8's strongest point is the S-Pen, I would think not. But seeing how I'll have to fork over 25 euros, I just want to be sure. The only alternative to me seems a Belkin screen protector.
I would be grateful if somebody could provide some insight or experience. Thanks!

Welcome to XDA.
I have not tried the Samsung ones but am using just some cheapo "dry apply" ones off Ebay and they do not interfere with the S-Pen. Would think the Samsung ones would be fine as well. Might not slide quite as well but that may actually be a good thing.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
Thank you CC (hope you don't mind me shortening it)!
I feel a lot more confident now. I use the same type of cheap protectors for my phone but for one reason or the other, I just want to invest a bit more in this tablet. It's my first one and I am incredibly happy with it. It's just very powerful and versatile. Once I get the Samsung Protectors I will let you know how they do.
Thanks again for the insights!

I have not tried the Samsung ones but am using just some cheapo "dry apply" ones off Ebay and they do not interfere with the S-Pen. Would think the Samsung ones would be fine as well. Might not slide quite as well but that may actually be a good thing.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

I have applied them and after a full day I can say there is no reduction in S-Pen functionality. I can't, however use my finger to write on S-Note anymore, but I actually can't remember if I was able to do it before. Anyway, besides that minor point, everything seems excellent.

Great. Sounds like that was the way to go then.

This is good information but I can't seem to figure out what this has to do with the topic of this thread? Discussion is about screen protectors not cases.

Like CCallahan says, this thread is indeed not about cases but screen protector. But mistakes can be made ofcourse. As for your problem, I think the magnet might have temporarily tempered with the hardware controlling the screen. Try to stop using the case for a while to see if it works. If it doesn't, send it to Samsung for reparation. This should fall under the warranty if the case is indeed the problem. The case I use is the Belkin Cinema Stripe cover. It's pricey but amazing quality if you ask me. You can check it out here:

Heya everyone,
First off all I would like to say it's great to be here on the XDA forums. I look forward to my time here.
As for this thread, I live in the Netherlands and screen protectors like the Spigel SGP aren't easy to come by if you don't want to pay for absurd shipping costs. So I was wondering if the official Samsung Screen Protectors impair S-Pen functionality. Since its Samsung and the note 8's strongest point is the S-Pen, I would think not. But seeing how I'll have to fork over 25 euros, I just want to be sure. The only alternative to me seems a Belkin screen protector.
I would be grateful if somebody could provide some insight or experience. Thanks!

Really, is this a serious question?
Yes, this was a serious question indeed.
