Sold my beloved note!!!!!!

So i just sold my white galaxy note that i loved so much!! The thing is that i realised that i use my smartphone 98% of the time for web browsing. So i sold it to make room for an ipad 3. I know yall probably saying that im crazy but i knew my note was going to b temporary until the Galaxy SIII was going to be released. i sold my ipad 2 a few weeks ago for the newest ipad but i spent the money lol. so now i have an old school flip phone that i love cause the battery last for days hahaha. But just wanted to share this and tell you guys have fun with the note, it is an incredible device!

I don't understand your logic. You are waiting for the S III when that will have a smaller screen than the note. How is that better for web browsing? maybe I misunderstood you.

Beware the latest gadget fever!

There's a ton of things I don't understand with this post, enjoy your iPad 3, whatever that is.
---------------------------
Yeah it's a Galaxy Note, are you jealous?

lol. I just sold both my 4S and Ipad2 64GB 3G. 4S went to pay for most of my Gnote and the ipad to maybe an Ipad3.
I also sold my HP touchpad for a mini itx board. I'm building an undertv media PC with my old Q9450 quad core processor. I could not sell the processor for a good price so I figure I'ld use it for something. Tough to beat a 65watt quad core for a media pc.

To each their own....if you can hold your iPad 3 up to your ear and make phone calls, then I guess you made the right choice. Apple is about as corrupt a company as they come, however...and I refuse to touch anything they make...ever.

Lol same guy who made that thread ranting about ics in march when a leak was released weeks before lol. Probably get banned for speaking my mind. Ill leave it at please leave.
I will never understand the hype about iphone/ipads. Its perfect for people who lack computer knowledge. Thats why my wife and mom have one along with the less savvy coworkers.
I love driving people into depression when they attempt to compare there iphone with my android about the things they cant do. Enjoy your future device buddy.

Wow you are 1 emotional fella. Yea i made a thread about ICS release on the note but it wasnt a rant it was impatience for ICS on the note. For someone who supports android and the open source youre very close minded. Reading your post i was laughing with my friends lol. Anyway i love tech stuff in general and i used to own the 3 first iphones. But when the nexus 1 came out i chose android for phone and never looked back. (Probably wont any time soon). But as far as tablet goes , in my opinion, the ipad is the clear winner. I like having an android phone and an ipad, as a consumer i get the best of both world and that what makes me happy But you probably dont understand that cause if you knew how to read and understand, i will get a Galaxy SIII which is guess what???? Android.

Especially in a closed ecosystem were nothing changes. Some people will buy anything for a name. These are the same people who feel absolutely ridiculous and ashamed when they see my huge assed Note, that I don't have to keep 6 inches from my face to be able to see.

I respect your opinion, apple is probably corrupt, but their not the only one. Lol no i dont plan on making calls with my ipad. I sold my ipad 2 and my phone for the note, a great device, but i tought it could replace both my phone and tablet but it isnt to me so i decided to sell it to get an ipad 3 and wait for the Galaxy SIII

SIII is rumored to have a 4.85in screen, that will be enough to be for Web browsing and multi-media entertainment. I might just get it myself. If it has a SAMOLED + display then I'm sold, hate this banding and the black blocks when viewing videos.

big mistake OP, you use the 'smartphone' for 98% of web browsing, but will you take the ipad to even 50% of the places you take your smartphone?
smartphone, yes....but smartuser, no ;-)

to each his own! God I hated the iPhone. I had 4 break on me They were crappy. But I have to say: they just worked. But wait! I haven't had a phone "not work" in years. So... I guess people can stop saying that. Yes, it's simple. But my roommate has a Blackberry 9900 (because I had one, and he loved it) and he was an iPhone 4 user, too, and was constantly frustrated about what they allowed and didn't allow him to do, multitasking, etc.
I understand why some people might want an iPhone or iPad. I personally dislike the iPad because it's just a GIANT iPhone with LESS features!
Regardless, I hope you enjoy your device By the time the SIII is released, the SIV will be in the making and then we'll all wait for that. And by the time they announce the SIV, the next device will be almost nearing its completion...
I personally don't care! I get the device I want when I want it because something better will ALWAYS come around!
The note is just FANTASTIC. It's fast, stable (no crashes!), battery life is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than ANY OTHER (smart)phone! The camera is great. I love typing because it hardly ever makes any mistakes. I don't know what else to say I love this device.

You should not conclude where this person goes by not even having the proper evidence to deduce where he carries his iPad with him. So to you smartphone yes, but smart responder no, and I render your argument invalid.

W/o the iPhone we would've never gotten this far in mobile technology, there may be Apple haters, but we all have to admit that the iPhone started it all, and most if not all of us once thought that it was the best device in your life. And also why didn't your friend jailbreak his, there are much better things to that replace the iPhone's "multi-tasking", I forgot what they were, since I haven't used an iPhone in so long. BB should just go die in a ditch already.

Personally I will never consider having an iPhone just because I'll feel like being in a prison. You cant even have a widget, for god sake were in the 21st century...
The same way I don't like tablets, whether it's an android or apple. First of all you have to hold it with 2 hands, you have to carry it in a bag and finally its really annoying while browsing when you have to click on a link in the middle of the screen.
I read alleged specifications of the SGS3 and I don't think that I'll consider getting rid of my Note for it. Smaller screen, quad core yes but on the other hand we all know that it will take ages for developers to fully take advantage of it.

Foxconn CEO: "New iPhone will put Galaxy S III to shame"

http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Foxconn-Hon-Hai-Galaxy-S-III-iPhone-5-apple,16090.html
I nearly chuckled when I saw this one.

I guess that means it must run Android then, because if it runs iOS it doesnt stand a chance of doing so..
Lets be frank here, it will look much the same as the current iPhone (boring), it will feel much the same to use (boring), it will be locked down and restricted like the current iPhone (boring), and will have the same (boring) baristas, emos are douches queueing up for it on day one. Ill pass.

Is it a ploy from apple to stop people from buying s3??
Only the facts will tell the truth.. there is no point in giving statements without concrete facts. Bad move apple...

Galaxy s3 has already made iphone 5 to shiver...the big thing is...iphone 5 is yet a prototype and apple feared that Galaxy may put iphone 5 to shame so they pleadged to ban s3 sales in usa... now tel me whos afraid ??? and whos ashamed??..
Sent from my GT-I9100G using xda premium

At this point Apple buyers are like BMW buyers, they will buy any old ridiculous turd as long as it has the badge on, so really statements like this are just sermons for the iSheep, and pretty meaningless to the rest of us. As long as Apple makes it they will buy it, why? because Apples says its best and therefore it is. Its almost a religion now..

But dude, it has an apple logo.
...

Some rumors I've read claim that it will be equipped with a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4.
I think that a good optimization can make the difference, placing Apple's smartphone between HTC One S and Android quad-core phones.
IMHO Apple will put a enormous capacity battery into the iPhone...

I guess since we're comparing a phone that will be out several months later that doesn't even exist yet; we'll compare it to another like phone... I'm sure the GSIV will put the iPhone 5 to shame then lol.

I cant see that, Apple will want their own CPU in there (and by that i mean a modified Samsung as the A4 and A5 were). It will probably have the A5x.

PErsonally I'm quite excited for the iPhone 5 and what it will bring.
Having had a look at the rubbish minor "new" features for iOS, I'm thinking Apple will have drastically improved the hardware of iPhone 5.
That is good for the whole industry

I'm sure the new iPhone will be excellent. Without new iPhones and new Galaxy's wouldn't it get boring. These companies need to push out great phones to keep giving us great products.

I don't think smarts has anything to do with it really. Rooting and installing ROM's is a whole lot easier than jailbreaking and using it's related tools, etc..
I just think the 'average' Android user and the 'average' iOS user could really care less..

every new device,if the job is done well, is goint to become leader at the time of its introduction it will be same with iphone 6 and then again with galaxy s4, etc.

I think it was a clever move by foxconn. The more people that get the s3 the less that will be available 2 sign up for a 2 year contract on the new iphone and the less orders foxconn will receive . And consequently the less money they make.
I personally think the iphone is easier for people to use who are novices. And it's more stable. However the s3 if you know how can do so much more.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA

Ok before I get started I would like to stress I am no fanboy of either apple or android... I simply like good products... So no flaming please.
Now down to business, the biggest problem with the S3 (yes I own one) is the fact that samsung (and all non GED devices to be fair) seem to forget the fundamental rule... Optimize the software to run effectively on the hardware. The galaxy nexus (Yes I own one) for me runs just as fast as the s3 in terms of web browsing and general use... Yes the animations are slightly smoother on the s3 but how is it possible for the browser to not have any significant speed improvement??
Fact of the matter is that apple will optimize the iPhone 5 to the extent that it doesn't need the hardware the s3 has to run as fast (rest assured as always it always does, will flatten the s3 in benchmarks and browser speeds).
Apple seem to understand that optimisation is the way forward and this is why the next Nexus is a no brainer... Touchwiz can do all it does but it will never run as smoothly nor work as well as AOSP.

Galaxy S3 or Iphone - poll on BGR

Interesting to see this

Love the comment by the guy saying he doesn't want the S3 because it's too big, yet he will be standing in line for the new iPhone.

I would go wit a iphone 5 jus for the resale value and the ios good there releasing to many android phones so after a month ur phone is old also the value on ur android drops so fast it's unreal

Resale value doesn't matter if you're not going to sell the phone. Still can't believe what people will pay for iPhones and macs, but to each his own.

Buying a phone for the resale value is worse than the people who hold off on buying a new phone forever because the want to always have the top phone.

I have a feeling this thread is going to get hectic

I'm will buy the iPhone 5 when it is available because:
- it is an iPhone
- it is the best device
- Apple is the best company
- iPhone is more expensive than other devices so it has to be better
- Everyone has an iPhone
- All the Actors, Actresses and Entertainers have an iPhone
- the iPhone is heavy and built strong
- it has a lot of apps
- people wait on long lines for the iPhone so it has to be the best phone or people wouldn't wait on the long lines
- the iPhone is indestructible
- I want to support Steve Jobs.
- it has the Apple logo which looks cool, and people known that I am Hip
- having one shows I don't follow the crowds, and am able to make my own decisions.
- the iPhone has basically remained unchanged for years, so it must be the best device, as other manufactures keep changing their devices because they are subpar.
- it doesn't have a removable battery or SD card because it adds weight and it's better not to have them. It makes the iPhone more indestructible,
- when Apple decides it is in the best interest of their customers to do so, Apple will make changes to the iPhone.
If I think of any more Great reasons to own the iPhone. especially the Great iPhone 5, I'll be sure to post them.
I hope the above reasons haven explained why the iPhone is the Best, and helps others to make their decisions based on these Facts.
Thank you.
UPDATE:
- I know people who have told me that they have accidentally went swimming with the iPhone in both the Pool and the Ocean. The iPhone continued to work without consequence. This means the iPhone is also Waterproof. Apple doesn't say this because of Liability reasons, But this is just Another reason to buy the iPhone. UNBELIEVABLE!!
Update #2:
- The iPhone 4s has been used by Astronauts to make phone calls and texts from the I.S.S.
Some of Astronauts have even been able to use Apps from the International Space Station.
They have even used Apple's GPS system to guide the Shuttle back to Planet Earth when the native system failed.
Simple Amazing!
Imagine what the iPhone 5 will be able to contribute to society!!
The iPhone....... Truly a Smartphone Above & Beyond the boundaries of Planet Earth!!
Now throw those Androids away, and pick up the iPhone 5 when it's made available!!
I coudn't resist

Galaxy S3 all the way! Had mine for a few weeks, rooted it, and put CM10 (Jelly Bean) rom on it. The thing is amazing! So snappy, battery life is excellent ~13.5hrs today with 30% left to go.
IMO, android allows more customization and cheaper apps (amazon market has free app of the day). I cannot agree with Apple's business model of f'ing the customer. They change the pin outs for their $80 chargers for every other generation purposefully to screw customers into buying more accessories. To be honest, that is the only thing apple products have going for them is quality of accessories.
Apple makes good products but they are not for me. I enjoy the freedom of open source and the abundance of the development community that android provides.
Anyone else get pissed when someone asks "Is that a Droid?" NO IT IS NOT! It's an ANDROID PHONE!

It's a little silly to get upset at people who use Droid and Android interchangeably. Would be akin to being upset because someone confused your iPhone 4s with the regular iPhone 4 IMO.

Galaxy S III
Galaxy S III. Pure Power. Android. well... its just pure Awesome! iPhones are all the same, their locked down, locked to apple services (itunes) and they just suck...

On GSMarena you can.

I have almost made up my mind to get the iPhone 5, however just remains one last obstacle to overcome, my wife, as an iPhone user herself she thinks that its too small for me and that the original Note which I had fitted me better! ! .
Anyway we shall see once both are released.
Here is a side by side size comparison:
http://versusio.com/en/apple-iphone-5-64gb-vs-samsung-galaxy-note-2

I stopped reading that link you posted because it looks like a 13 year old made this comparing page:
Has a built-in HDR mode Yes vs No It can automatically shoot pictures with an higher dynamic range (HDR)
ummm who cares? get an app on the note 2??? the list goes on like this, it should be renamed to stupid reasons for someone to buy the iphone 5.
I mean, scroll down more and you see manual ios lol....

why is everyone comparing to the iPhone still? while they may sell the most due to people either being invested in ios or for cult like reasons, i really don't see them as the standard anymore. comparison is great for specs but i'm just tired of everyone regarding the iPhone as the standard. Iphone 5 is already getting very ****ty compliments from experts.
We will see iphone 5 will be major flop. that time apple will know peoples are not fools now that time has gone when peoples became idiots from the name of apple.
And I am wondering where is those 200 changes are in ios 6

You've got to be kidding..major flop? The IPhone 5 will sell 25% more units than any release of any smartphones in history.....between now and Dec30 the IPhone will sell more than every Samsung phone COMBINED.

I hope your not being serious because if you are, you probably have no idea what the scope of any manufacturer sales numbers actually are. The ip5 will sell a lot, but you are extremely exaggerating, which makes you seem a little moronic.

I don't understand why are you people even argue about whether iPhone5 will sell more or less. It's not like Apple will just shortly release the number. (not unless it benefit Apple) And quite frankly, I think it's kinda stupid comparing iPhone 5 to Note 2. Clearly iPhone 5 was aiming to go after GS3. Seem like Apple is a bit running behind S3. Also, the comparison doesn't even mention the use of Stylus on the Note 2, which one another main feature other than large screen.

To argue with that, iPhone 5 aims to be better than 4S. As far as I can see, only Samsung puts up ads comparing its phones to apple's.(I stand corrected if you show me an apple ad that directly makes fun of Samsung). iPhone 5 shouldn't be compared even to the SGS3, I think it's time iphone and android are considered different products for different people(sgs3 is significantly larger than any iPhone, some people might not like that). Others like me are quite deep in the whole iOS ecosystem. I have a lot of apps I use daily for both OS's but my time on iOS might make me miss some stuff. The thing keeping me motivated for Note 2 right now is the memory of how awesome videos were on the GNex, I can only imagine a proper screen the size of my palm playing a video.

No, Apple just sues and takes money directly from Samsung instead of letting their device sales speak for the quality, haha. Although, I think during the iPhone keynote they did take a few jabs at android devices. I agree with you, though. I really don't see the two devices in the same class. Me and my girlfriend are both due for upgrades. I'm getting the note 2 and shes getting the iPhone 5. We both use our devices very differently and I'm sure we will both be happy with our new phones.

you must not know that the GSIII outsold the iPhone 4s .. i'm pretty sure it'll outsell the 5, and the Note might too since its on all major carriers like the GSIII. i'm not an Android fanboy, but the iPhone 5 is a lot of hype. they took features we've had for a while now and called it revolutionary. e.g.: panorama shot .. i can do that on my 2 year old Desire Z / G2.

Fixed.

First of all a few of you sound like children. For Android fans who consider themselves "enlightened ones" it's quite comical that you constantly have to take shots at Apple whenever possible. You're posting at an Android haven yet you've just got to take shots just because. Why can't people just grow up and not post like assholes whenever it becomes necessary to make comparisons? Also are you all really arguing about sales? Do you own stock in Apple? Samsung? Are you a part of either of their marketing, engineering dept., or another division of their company where sales will reflect on how well you did your job? No? Then how the hell do sales figures of a single device make a difference in your lives?
Say what you will about Apple, but at least they can pull off a unified launch. The 16, 32, and 64 GB versions will all be out on release. I have no idea how long I'm going to have to twiddle my thumbs to wait for the 64GB note.

Why are people dissing my decision to get the Nexus 4 ?

I just picked up my Nexus 4 last week, and really like it. Rooted with Xylon 4.2.2 ROM, and Matrix kernel v7.0, I am averaging around 16 hours or so total battery life, and like 5 hours On Screen time every day, the past three days since on this combo.
I post on a lot of different tech forums, everyone telling me I am crazy for buying the Nexus 4, should have gotten the Note 2 #1 ( Actually which I had, and returned it two weeks later, great phone, amazing battery life, but 5.5" screen, is just too large for my every day phone ) For that same price, I also picked up a Nexus 7 tablet, and the Nexus 4, same price as my Note 2 out of contract full price.
On these other tech forums, said the Galaxy S3 is better, the One X is better, and that the Nexus 4 should be like the 4th option to go with. WTF ?
My smartphone history goes like this; iPhone 1, iPhone 3G, MyTouch 3G, Nexus-One, EVO 4G, Nexus-S 4G, Galaxy S2, Galaxy Nexus, HTC One X, Note 2, Nexus 4.
Out of all those phones, I have to say I felt the most comfortable with my Nexus phones, to quote that classic line "It just works", I prefer the minimalistic design of the Nexus line, not too flashy, or fancy overdone UI's, but a smooth and simple design, that I feel most comfortable with. Sure I know the Nexus 4 is not the most powerful smartphone available today, and maybe not the best screen tech, but I am happy with it, and battery life isn't as bad as the nightmare I read.
Plus once Android 5.0 KLP is released possibly this Summer, the Nexus 4 will get it right away, good luck with your new HTC One, or Galaxy S4 getting 5.0 KLP anytime soon, it will be a very long wait, even custom ROM's for non Nexus phones will have a long wait to get 5.0.

theyre just jealous. plus, everyone always thinks that the device that they have is the best, regardless of the truth. i love my n4, and wouldnt give it up for those other devices.

A few people that did respond, said they are on Verizon, and if the Nexus 4 was available, and had LTE for Verizon, they would get it right away. Personally I hate Verizon, super expensive, but they are the biggest carrier in the U.S., I think the Nexus-Five will have LTE, and Google would be smart to have a CDMA version to work with that carrier, could be a ton more sales.
Rumors point to Google announcing Android 5.0 "Key Lime Pie" at this May's Google I/O show. And possibly a release this June / July. Would Google also release the Nexus-Five then this Summer, the first phone with 5.0 KLP ? Or just give the Nexus 4 Key Lime Pie, and hold off on the Nexus-Five to the typical Nov/Dec release ?

I do. I really like this Nexus 4. Just surprised people look at it like a cheap low end Android device. I think it's easily one of the top phones out there today. Better spec'd than the Galaxy S3, way better than the One X, sure the Note 2 might be better, but that's too large for my tastes. Not sure why so much hate for the Nexus 4, maybe because it's not a Samsung or HTC made Nexus ?
This LG Nexus is much nicer than my old Samsung Nexus, nicer screen, way better build quality, not even mentioning the better hardware, but that's a given with a one year newer device.

It's interesting that there are fanboy groups within fanboy groups. It's like fanboy Inception.

Samslut has a huge following. I just went to a T-Mobile store. Every single employee had a Samsung phone.
Every. Single. One.
One of them, I know for a fact, had ordered a Nexus 4 back in December. Hater.

Most people equate price with worth. If something cost more it must be better. If something cost less it must be worse. Look at all apples stuff. Cost an arm and leg for their "premium" junk. Cost more, must be better.

Well, their hardware and build quality is top notch. Mind you, they leave out things for a while like LTE, NFC, etc.
It's just the software... :shudder:
Also, that elitist mentality based on ignorance that seems to come with the device kind of blows.

With the exception of the N4 there really isn't a much better option on T-Mobile than the S3 for high end phones. Everything else there is mid-low range.
I think Samsung's success comes from:
1: They are a household name. They make everything. People can relate.
2: They advertise the crap out of their phones.
Most people aren't tech savvy. When they see non-stop apple and samsung commercials they believe that they are the best things out there. They just don't know any better.

Absolutely. I couldn't agree more.
That just goes to show you that advertising works. It's OK, all the haters can suck it.

I own a nexus s and I've recommended Samsung to everyone I know for about the last year or so....when I told my friends I wanted the LG Nexus they all looked appalled that I would recommend one manufacturer to everyone, then suddenly choose a device for myself from another. Some people just don't understand that not everyone cares what brand an item is. I picked a Nexus 4 because I wanted to stay with the Nexus family for its open nature and amazing development community. I pick devices for my needs. My needs are not the same as any one of my friends. They all like to buy a phone and keep it unrooted, etc. And that's fine. But I like to mod the living piss out of mine. If I could have remotely unlocked the bootloader while it was on its way to me I would have lol
This is what makes android so great, and it is why iOS will become known as an epic fail. Variety is the spice of life If they keep shoveling crap in front of people and expect them to just choke it down without even considering the fact that they may not like the same thing as the person next to them, they will eventually fail.

Yeah it's all about the advertising.
iOS advertising is condescending. People see the commercials and think they are elite for owning one.
Samsung ads have been more of the attacking/put down variety. People carry the bashing to the real world. Even if it means bashing other Android devices.
Advertising is a powerful tool...especially to the layman.

I had the option to pick whatever phone I wanted and went with the Nexus 4 because I can't stand touchwix and the note is just too big for my taste.
I didn't want an S3 knowing that the S4 is around the corner and not knowing when the S3 was getting future updates.

Couldn't be happier with mine. Just switched from the one s, nobody was making any Roms for the the US one s and got tired of waiting on tmo to release their jellybloat. This is my first nexus phone. Well i take that back the first one had a defect in the screen that looked like a dimple in the pixels.

I'm surprised HTC doesn't have more of a cult following as their phones have some of the nicest build quality among the phones I've used. Samsung phones are nice too but I just can't get over the overly plastic feeling in their designs. I prefer a heavier phone for some reason; something that doesn't feel hollow behind the screen. To each their own at the end of the day... those same haters are gonna be the cry babies in the Samsung forums wishing they had the fast Android updates and Google support we receive with our Nexus devices. Tell them to have fun with their Samsung source code and move along.

HTC has a few things against them
1) They put out phones slowly.
2) Slow software updates. It takes forever to update Sense.
3) Almost no advertising or other aggressive marketing.
4) They just don't have the funds or clout that Samsung has.

I am happy with my LG made Nexus, at the end of the day, I don't care, I mean all these phones are mainly Korean made, and LG is no slouch or small mom and pop shop.
But I will admit, that HTC has been making some really good designs lately, the One X in my opinion was the best looking Android phone of 2012, and the new One phones looks really great. I would love to have HTC back on the next Nexus. But if the Nexus-Five is another LG produced phone, that won't stop me one bit from buying it.
