hello people...im currently using a galaxy mini...im going to start working in a month and i am about to get a brand new galaxy note come june end...do you guys think its worth it?i mean i have read about it EXTENSIVELY, watched many videos, but have never really come face to face with it...
my usage will be for calling, texting, emails , news , games, presentations and other basic stuff like that...im going for the note coz i LOVE BIG SCREENS...im almost six feet tall and have really big hands...
and oh yeah i really dont mind how weird i might look talking over the note
so with all this in mind can i buy it?
It is an amazing phone, I've had it for 2 weeks, different roms have different battery lives, but the stock one is still very good by default.
So, go for it and come tell us about it!

Before I got my Note I was juggling between the Note and a S2 but went for the Note and I'm so happy that I chose the Note over the S2.
Go for Note. Or if you think screen is a bit big then S3 is to be released soon. That would be my next choice.

I am keen to learn more about using the S-pen
even i'm a short boy, i'm still holding the phone! so i belive you deserve this huge guy.
just don't flash ICS roms at the moment and stick to just GB roms to be safe.

Is it that much of an upgrade from the ATRIX? I might hold out til manufactures get to dual core 1.5 before I upgrade cause 1.2 and a camera don't do it for me. That 32gb internal is really enticing though

GSM Arena reports that the phone will not be 1.2 TI OMAP but 1.5 Samsung built processor, and also 8MP camera with 720P Screen. Also it is reporting that the phone will be GSM/CDMA like the iPhone 4s.. which is slightly harder to believe. But there was a phone pushed through the FCC about a week ago or so with AT&T bands. I'm already preparing to sell my Atrix, I want this phone.. This or the Galaxy Note, which also went through FCC with AT&T bands about 5 days ago. Hopefully they both get announced at Unpacked next week! I can barely wait.
I want it so bad!!!!!! But i hafta get one for my nexus s and xbox but that's not going to happen so I'm probably going to wait til the next nexus and just by it. Damn you Samsung for making such sexy phones!

Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I want one too, holding off on the SG2 on ATT for this,....but was afraid it would happen to the Prime as it did to the other two Nexus phones, by the time it comes to a GSM band it's nearly obsolete.
Disappointed, but hoping that Tuesday we find out it's coming to all at once... I can dream!

I'm going to do the same thing I do with all of my other phones...use it . As far as making reach its full potential, I'm waiting for a bad ass custom ROM to surface. Once the boards are riddled with new ROMs that really push this hardware, thats when my fun really begins. For now, I'm going to run stock for a couple months to give the development community some time to cook up some awesomeness.

What case are you planning on buying? My sister wants to put on a cell phone charm as well, but the only cases that have a cutout for the lanyard are Samsung cases that we've found so far.
Actually...I liked "Take over the world"
Buying more accessories for it than I need. Cables, cases, batteries, chargers, screen protectors, etc... till I figure out which ones I like best and use most often, then the rest will stay in a box as spares.

I know this sounds like a fanboy comment, but in all honesty, the note 2 is the greatest phone ever. Like what michael Jordan is to basketball.
It has double the battery life (if not more), better screen, much smoother, better SPEN with a working handwriting. I hated the aspect ratio change at first but it's starting to grow on me. Besides, being thinner makes it "alot" easier to hold.
Edit: One more thing, No BLACK CRUSH/CLIPPING

Completely agree wih all of the above. Best phone I've ever had, a nice upgrade from my note1.Ive been using smartphones since the first kyocera phone/palm combination in the early 90s. First phone I've had in last 3-4 years, including a brief iphone stint, that I didnt feel after a couple weeks that I'd entertain an upgrade in 6 mos if something better came along. Really nothing of any significance lacking on this phone.
battery life is insane, performance is stellar, running jellybean, specs to the roof, big a$$ screen, BATTERY LIFE AGAIn cause its really impresive.
totally worthy...
its truly a next gen device.
much better sound.
much better battery life...
grearer screen
an accurate s pen unlike Note 1.
even b8gger screen.
16:9 ratio to make it EASY to hold....
i could just keep going xS
I was going to upgrade for sure from my international note 1 as soon as at&t launched the Note 2, but now that I flashed jellybean the Note 1 feels like a whole new phone! Jellybean in its self is an upgrade! I will try to hold out as long as it can but as everyone here states, it seems the Note 2 is a beast of a phone.... So I guess I'll have to see if I can resist when I actually touch the device! But seriously if you have the international Note 1 definitely try jellybean.... You won't be disappointed!

Wow.. thanks for the reply's... now I really can't wait. I'm using Straight Talk/Att Sim right now in an At&t Note. It's tough knowing I could walk into Tmobile tomorrow and grab one for $650 and unlock it and use it. My only problem is I'm wondering if I'll be better off with the At&t version.. for coverage reasons.. I'll have to check out radio frequency's and how easy it is to unlock the tmobile version. I figure I'll get about 300 for original Note and I'm gonna sell my Nexus 7 since I almost always reach for my Note first, should get 175 or more out of that then it'll only be 150-200 out of pocket! can't wait..

Oh, hey thanks. Sorry about that. Nothing was being advertised and I also complied with the forum guidelines thread, so I thought it would be helpful and OK. Can you advise if there's any policy against using the image of Malaysia's Celcom logo as a user's "MORE INFO"?
1) what happens if you need to perform a battery pull?
2)How is the speaker on this compared to Galaxy Nexus?
3)Biggest gripe minus LTE?
Thank you for the responses very much. So much on the fence to this phone or not.

Alright guys,

Which phone are you going for after this adorable phone. Being honest will easily and comfortably serve another year.
I would be enticed to get the s4 but the lack of full sources from Samsung seems going to repeat itself again.
I dropped this thread hear as people will biased towards their phones in the respected forums.

Read the S4 forums in detail, there are a couple of dealbreakers for me, at the moment.
Screen seems to have issues, smearing and red pixels not turning completely off on black images. Hopefully they are software related (wouldn't surprise anyone) but they could be defects.
It seems the S4 is a greatly rushed product, what a shame...

Same here, will wait till the 32gb version, if they release one.. But fear we will never see one..
Didn't Sammy promise a 32gb S3..?
I might just wait otherwise until the S5, the S3 is still a great phone and I'm tied for another year on contract.
Once the ports come for 4.2 and eventually 5.0 this will make my phone seem like a new one anyway..
I don't know what are you talking about, i have 32GB S3 model for almost 8 months... o.0

I already have a 64gb mem card thanks.. but all programs get installed to the internal memory and I have some bigs games and i'm getting fed up of making space.. Also you only get to use 11gb, not 16gb
Because I need my mem card to be formatted FAT32 so my laptop can read it I can't save files bigger than 4gb on it, therefore no HD films which i have to download to internal mem, which as that stands I don't have a 4gb spare anyway..
Using directory bind there is absolutely no need for bigger internal space

It looks nice, but the camera isn't great, battery life is hit and miss, I hate the button layout (why put the power button on the top left, yuck) and no room for extra memory.
none of the gpu s out there is enough for 1080p atm so ill stick with s3 better game performance than new phones and really very little difference on browser performance doesnt worth for upgrading atm.
HTC one also has no removable back cover/battery, so there's another negative. I don't like the trend towards 'apple'-fying new phones, having expandable memory & removable battery are very important for me!
I will keep my S3 32GB GT-9300I at least until S5, and who knows maybe untill S6 if i don't have problems with it.
it's perfect for me.
