After the announcement of 700K sold in Korea, I was wondering how close they were to their second million. Finally found a post about it. Not sure if it's shipped or sold, but whatever.
So let's see the rate of sales:
Oct 29 - Galaxy Note Release
Dec 29 - 1st million
Feb 28 - 2nd million
Pretty encouraging.

Samsung says it has already sold 2 million Notes since last October’s launch, and plans to sell another 10 million by the end of 2012.

About 12
(I say this as a Dell Streak owner)
Shipped about same as sold for popular product over a quarter
The popularity of the Note means that the amount of stock sitting on retailers shelves would be very small compared to the number actually sold over several months.
Retailers' stock is a short term buffer for a very popular product.
Nice that's about a average of 500,000 Per month not bad for what it is...

I'm not surprised it's selling so well - it's the first phone I've had that is really useable as a main internet device. I just upgraded from a S2, and am very happy with it. The laptop and Xoom are gathering dust!

Could not agree more. I am just off for a weekend away, and for the first time I am not going to take anything but my phone. Most of what I need to do, it does, and very well. The huge number of games I have will also make any waiting and travel times fly by!
Congratulations Samsung. Well deserved. I was at the doctors office today and she loved it and was amazed at it. I was proud of my baby

Agreed - hardly use my laptop at all anymore. Speed and versatility of the s-pen make this a wonderful niche device. Can't wait for ICS to (hopefully) improve battery life.
I just ordered my all white galaxy note! Should have it by tomorrow. Can't wait. I had been thinking hard about my next toy for long while. Galaxy nexus was tempting, as well as the s2. In the end the note took it. Its gonna be fuuuuuuun. Lol

And if it's selling that well, the more accessories will get made. For instance, decent extended batteries and a keyboard case are top of my list. Huzzah!
samsung really has done a great job for Galaxy Note. hope the future upgraded version of the note will have further surprises for us.

I'm posting this thread to kinda get some opinions about the new Epic coming out this October. I personally can't wait because all of these developers put in hard work making these roms, kernels & themes for the Epic as is so it will be interesting to see their creativity.

Keyboard keyboard
The touch looks real nice but i cant stand the onscreen keyboard. it takes up OVER half of the screen as you type. i would give up the "thin-ness" anyday for the 5 row qwerty
Also the keyboarded phones compared to touch only phones show there is no noticable difference in battery life.

I'd be very surprised if they shipped it before the 16th.
I'm wondering how porting my number would work with the Walmart Wireless deal. I pre-ordered already through WireFly and filled in all my number porting from Verizon. I don't know how difficult it would be to get the phone normally from Walmart and then port my number after the fact. If I can get details on how easy it is to port without doing it during the ordering process, I might switch my pre-order to Walmart Wireless.
EDIT: I've switched my pre-order to the WalMart one.
But I'm not seeing the release date on the site.
Heres where i ordered the epic touch
walmart.letstalk.com/product/product.htm?prId=39607&corpId=522[/url]
Go directly to letstalk.com. the overnight shipping is free and you can put in a code "take20back" to get 20% off. If you start from the Walmart site it is slightly different and overnight shipping is $19.
I also confirmed twice, that if you are on a family plan and use one line to upgrade and want to switch phones after you receive the new phone to different number on same plan you can do it. As long as you call let's talk customer service/activation department to do the swap.

So were pre-orders for the Nexus 7 started at midnight?
I would think there to be a tremendous difference in demand between a lame ass 7" tab and a quad core 2gb mobile phone with the latest hardware priced insanely cheaper domestically than elsewhere. Insanely cheaper, period.
Never know but I don't expect the 16gb Nexus 4 to last 5min.

Why?
Only people who follow these tech sites know about the Nexus 4 here in the UK, no tv, radio, newspaper articles have been shown.
We also get stock from a totally different country to US orders.
For the mast majority, only people who go into an O2 store will know about it, and their stock differs from the playstore stock.

What does spam f5 mean and what kind of info should you have ready?
I have already bought stuff from the Google Play store so they have all my details. I figured I would just sign in well before midnight and when the Nexus 4 became available I would select it to buy.
Has anyone bought like a device on the first day available and would like to share what happened?

Assuming you're serious, spamming F5 means quickly and repeatedly pressing the F5 key on the keyboard, to constantly refresh the webpage in hopes of it letting you order the phone
I have never heard of that before even though I have been around computers since the 70's. Thanks for the clarification.
I thinking the UK is going to be the easier place to get a midnight order done. There have been no ads or whatever as someone in this thread has already said. Also, here in the UK the majority of people buy off contract phones so this one isn't going to be that different. But on the flipside in the US there is a massive LTE network that you wont be able to access and that will cut the amount down quite a bit. I'm guessing they will sell a lot but I don't see it selling out...... unless they start running ads after they open the site to orders.

I wouldn't bet or hold your breath on a midnight release, but who knows anything can happen.

Ok so i was planing to sell my s3 later to get money to upgrade for something better phone/tablet. Here price dropped 200€ since release.. Is there any reason for that?

launch of note 2, nexus 4, iphone 5 & onex+ has definitely put pressure on S3's price. many people have sold s3 to buy note 2 or nexus 4.
3 Words: Galaxy Note Two
I was planning in selling both my GS3 and my Nexus 7 but since summer because of the Galaxy Note 2 and the fact that the want to continue selling the GS3 as hot cakes they have reduced the prices to fight the iPhone 5, in the case of my Nexus 7 and 32 version of the same price I bought my 16gig one have half cut the price for me
Sent from my Nexus 7 with 4.2 and I love it....so **** logic its great
same as what those above have said, any also it is a trend with nearly every smartphone apart from iphones, which only drop price after a year
the same happend with the one x before sgs3 launch
Because new things come out all the time
Because due to demand and samsung's marketing it was overprized in the first place.
I paid around 700 USD to buy it when it was released here in india, Now it's actually 575 USD.
The phone should have been sold for 575 only in the first place.

It's because android devices are not supported for long periods of time and people know it. If you had a galaxy s from a couple years ago your are sol for updates. It amazes me to see how much I can sell my iPhone for but no interest in any galaxy devices. The demand is much higher for ios devices because it is perceived as a main stream product.

No, it won't be decreasing throughout the year. Now that all the new comers are out and hypes over, S3's price will stabilize at some point and will only go down after the launch of GS4.

I don't see why you people are whining about this, everyone makes profit, other devices came out so they need to compete with prices. so they reduce profits.
I obtained it last week in the "Buen Fin" (Kinda Black Friday in Mexico hahaha) for only 40 dlls and a 24 dlls data plan a month...
So yeah pretty cheap now(When it was out it was like Free but with a 100 dlls plan for 2 years)

I had been leaning HEAVILY toward an ipad mini as my first tablet.
Talk me out of it
I'd prefer to stay with android so I can root and have all my apps and the things I know and love.
However, I just haven't found a form factor that i like. The 16:10 is just too skinny on the 7" IMHO.
Then i found out about this 7.7 and I'd love to have one.
I actually only need the wifi version but that looks harder to come by??
I'm on ATT. On the GSM version, can I just take my sim out and use it for data in the tablet?
Besides those questions, how would you pay for your tablet if you had to purchase it today?
I'd pay the $350 a ipad mini would cost me.
However, the ones I see are $450+

The pictures is this ebay ad show the 6800...
you see the green telephone icon in the lower left??
The 6810 doesnt have that..
"IF" you get the 6800.. then YES, you can move your ATT sim card there and BAM! An exact duplicate of your smart phone and it's features...
including phone calls, receiving phone, send and receive TXT messages and mms.. everything your existing smart phone does.. same phone number..
it all followes your sim card.
I do it and many others on here do it too..
BUT, you cant do it with the 6810 or Verizons version..
they dont have sim card slots... good luck
6810 is wifi.
6800 is wifi+3g
Sch-i815 is VERIZON wifi+LTE
As stated earlier, you can have wifi AND full phone functionality with the 6800 with your at&t sim.
Don't get the i815 unless you have service with Verizon or unless you plan to use it for wifi only. You can only get data service (phone functionality is disabled) with the Verizon i815 if you have a Verizon account on the stock rom only.
If you want to use cyanogenmod or aosp roms please note that our tab shares most of its internal hardware with the international galaxy s2 and international galaxy note, which means full jelly bean butter is not functional until Samsung releases the right source.

I paid $400 for mine... New from Verizon a few months ago and I still think it's worth it. The iPad mini isn't really a consideration for me, even for $50 less.
But I think the 7.7 is pretty close to perfection.
I had p6800 from end of January. Then at the beginning of December, I broke the screen and needed to decide what replacement devicebto take. I liked Ipad Mini for form factor and casing. But ultimatelly the iOS and poor specifications put me off. Nexus 7 3G is nice but the screen is too small. Anything that is 8.9 inch or larger is too large for me. So I bought another p6800. It is significantly better than the original as it does not suffer from yellowish discoloration of the screen which the original had. I think there is still no competition for p6800 out there (if you don't care for high computing / video generating power but you need smallndevice with good /though somehow dark/ screen and battery life).

Well, I decided to bite for $250. Versus the Nexus 7 that I have for $200, the extra $50 is worth it to me for the screen alone. I'm not going to be using data so I don't care about Verizon vs. AT&T etc. concerns.

This tablet is beautiful man. I just acquired a nexus 10 and I'm having a a hard time deciding on changing my setup from galaxy nexus/gtab 7.7 to gnote 2/nexus 10. The nexus 10 flies like you wouldnt believe man, but the non-portable size and non amoled screen are keeping me from leaving this tab

Thanks. I'm content with my purchase and can't wait to get it, root and have some fun. No buyers remorse....
I do love my galaxy not phone. Don't think I'll be changing it any time soon.
I thought pretty hard on getting the nexus 10 but I know it would be too big for my first tab. With a 5.3" phone it would be hard to 'just' go to the nexus 7 but i did like how it felt in hand. I almost went I pad mini to broaden my tech consumption with ios but at the end of the day I know I'd want to customize it too much

When htc was produced good handsets I loved them and always bought htc but unfortunately I then discovered Samsung .
I have a note 2 which is awesome . Battery is fantastic and the screen is excellent but I've seen a few reviews on you tube for the htc one and am so tempted but I don't know if it will be a bad decision.
Will the one hand anything my note 2 won't ?
I love the 5.5" display on my note but am ok about going down 0.8" as we all know size isn't important
I can get £250 recycle for my note 2 which means I lose just over the same amount as ive had my note 2 since launch. I can get a payg on three for £475 and the launch models are usually unlocked and unbranded or £520 off amazon but don't know if it's with the extra dosh.
Oh help me please my wife thinks I'm daft wanting the latest thing but the htc one looks awesome I just don't want to regret the decision if I get one

I'm in the same boat as you and I'm strongly considering the One. But I'll wait for user experience first before deciding on getting one. I suggest you do the same since all the questions we have about the device will be answered then. If battery life is acceptable and there's no problems with the device I'll get it for sure. It's definitely the sexiest phone I have ever seen

My wife is lucky lol my only vice is technology I love samsung but hate the way they push out updates . I am debating the note 3 but it will be too big and the s4 is made of plastic.
I might wait for a month or so to see what the htc one is like in the flesh but want it now cos its so god damn sexy.
Oh what do I do . Im hoping my local p4u store has a display so I can look at it and then decide. The only thing stopping me is the fear of a poor battery like the one x and one x plus
I usually buy straight away but my little gremlins are telling me to wait a while

Its at least about 4 other threads with Note 2 users..
im a note 2 users as well and im bored and want the latest and greatest.. but i suggest just wait to see what Samsung announces next week.
HTC done the same thing last year and Samsung ended up topping them. so we would have to see what happens this time, its just best to wait for a few more days.. you'll still have time to sell your note 2 regardless since the HTC One doesn't release till the 22nd people are saying.
im getting the HTC One but i am not selling my Note 2 for it.. not worth it.. no matter how old it is.. might consider selling it for the Galaxy S4 or Note 3
I'm in the same position. I could hold on to my Note 2 and get the One on upgrade in a couple of months, sell the note 2 for about €450 and cover the extra €150 to buy the one on release then save my upgrade for later.
Regarding the Samsung updates, my girlfriends Vodafone branded SGS3 updated to JB ages ago. I got sick of waiting for my Vodafone branded one x to update to JB so I just sold it.

My last phone was a note 2 and I sold it in order to get the xperia z initially but now I am getting the One.
Btw mancuk29, why not sell your note 2 instead of recycling. You can get more than 250 for selling it.
The Note II is practically flawless, so don't jump for the One's looks and HW just yet, wait for the first few weeks of user feedback to see it's issues. I'd only switch for practical reasons say you want a smaller phone, don't care about the sylus, plastic is falling apart etc., but do not jump for style over substance reasons, make sure you'd be better off with the One and the investment it worth it. There are few perfect devices on the market, the Note II is one of them.

I had thought of selling it , they are going for around £350 on ebay but then there is 15% ebay fee to consider and then 10% paypal which works out at £87.50 so I would make £12 more . Im lining ebays and paypals pockets .
I might hold off till june / july so any issues are sorted or any complaints come out .
The problem is that if I see the one ill buy it so need to steer clear of phone shops for a few months !!!

Hey, it's up to you in the end and the One looks One awesome product. But I do read a lot of honest ex-NoteII users missing that great battery life so that's one expected compromise.

I used to sell a phone every year on eBay but their fees have got ridiculous now. In the last year I've bought and sold 3 phones using online classified ads. No fees, no hassle (if you disregard the scam artists that are on eBay as well).

I only use gumtree to sell products, as I heard about ebays selling fees. I fetched 390 for my note 2 on February 1st.
Might put it on gumtree . The only thing which is slowing down my impulses is the battery as I've been spoilt with the note 2 and get a day and bit out of my note 2
Why can't htc put a bigger battery in then it would be decision made grrrr

I 'm sure after getting hands on real device you love it more than N2 and P4u update their recent review in which they mention that battery life is really good but I personally think N2' battery life is bit better but more or less H one's bettery life will not be disappointing, you have to compare and choose between three major factor large vs 4.7 screen , plastic vs metallic body, standard audio/video vs better audio/video shooting

Guys, i agree the htc one is very beautiful, all metal and all, but seriously how many of us carry their mobiles without a case/cover? If i were u, and the size and weight of note 2 were not an issue for me, i dont think i would have let go of the n2 for one. N2 screen does look amazing. For me its just too big.
I love the one, specially the looks, but i guess i will keep my hox for atleast a few months, till proper user feedbacks and comparisons with hox are available. Again, i have kept my hox protected in a cover since day one, and it has helped tremendously in surviving a few falls.

I wish I bought all my phones from you (the OP). £250 for a Note 2 is a bargain.
I personally think you'll be in for a shock when you see how much smaller the screen is. I think the drop in battery life will put you off too.
But at the rate you buy phones it's not a problem I suppose. If you decide you don't like it you can always upgrade to the Note 3 when it's out.

You'll pick-up:
A brighter, higher res display (LCD = more realistic colors and less contrast [greyer blacks])
HTC's new camera approach (4MP vs. 8MP on the Note and 13MP on new high-end phones)
Zoe to capture and manipulate images in a new way
Dual amplified front facing speakers
BlinkFeed to view news and social sources on the lock screen
A more premium feeling device made from metal vs. plastic
A faster SoC/GPU
An IR port to control your media devices
Sense which has a more modern and integrated "feel" than TW
You'll lose:
S Note, S Pen, airview, multiview
A 5.5" SAMOLED (more vivid colors, better outdoor visibility, blacks=black) display and return to a 4.7" display that was last year's standard
Some app compatibility until developers modify their programs to support 1080P displays
All the non-S Pen related TW features like motion and voice controls and Smart Stay/Rotation
A huge swappable battery
Cheap expandable and swappable storage up to 80GB
The ability to update to the latest official ROMs using Odin without voiding your warranty
Wireless charging (if you're even using it)
AVRCP 1.3 to show title/track/artist when using A2DP and possibly the ability to direct dial calls via BT (you still couldn't in Sense 4+)
For people that bought the N2 without planning to use its expanded features it was probably not the greatest choice in the first place. I replaced my Teg3 One X with it solely for those additional features. Otherwise, a 5.5" phone is a pain in the ass to use. If people bought it for the larger display then, unless they've changed their mind, the One and SGS4 aren't really equivalent. Since you didn't mention features and did mention you don't care about a smaller display than any of the "newer and shinier" devices coming out will fit the bill. And at 12" away you won't notice the difference between 1080P and 720P because the human eye with 20/20 vision can't resolve the additional detail at that distance and beyond no matter how much everyone swears they see a difference.

Very true. I had a look at the Sony Xperia Z in a shop and could not tell the difference in sharpness between it and any other 720p phone in the shop. My eye sight is very good too.
I think the One is the Most promissing htc phone ever.... I just Sold my Note 2 a week ago And now im Using an oooold Nokia Till my One is shipping .... I Love Sense
