I've been checking out the development for ROMs for the Samsung galaxy tab two recently, looks like there's a lot of work going on over there.
Has anyone here messed with one in person? Or is or anyone here that is gotten rid of their OG galaxy tab to go with the new one? If so what are your opinions and thoughts?
I'm thinking about picking one up at Costco to screw around with it to replace my current one, but I'm not seeing Sbradymobiles mods, and that makes me a sad panda. Lol
I'm needing large icons for my usage in my car, and Sbradymobiles mods make the og tab work pretty good a an in dash device.

Don't waste your money. Get a Nexus 7 instead as the specs are way better. Unless your one of those "sdcard slot or its ****" people. If so, by all means waste your money.
I had this exact dilemma until I/O. Decision made.
Also updates.

Unfortunately the nexus 7 really isn't an option right now. This is an in dash setup in my car.
On my current setup I've got over 18 gigs of music, podcasts, and video.
If a verified method to use external storage and charge at the same time comes around for it, I would probably go with it.

Is the nexus 7 also a phone like the Galaxy Tab original?
Nope.

I picked one up yesterday at Costco, 90 day return window so I should have plenty of time to see if it meets my needs.
I'll be running the og tab still, but with development falling off so much, and the numerous bugs I've reported (at 240 dpi), I figured I'd give this one a chance.
I ain't leaving!

It has no radio for data, only WiFi... best you could expect in terms of using it as a phone would be to use Skype or something similar!

I have an iPad 2, as well as a N7 and I'll tell you the 7 inch form factor is so much easier to use in various situations and orientations. I really love mine'. Well I also got it for free since I was t Google IO =)
Mine was defective with a dead pixel, I got it replaced the next day. Great device.
I think the battery could be better, honestly it's around 20% now and I've been using it for around five and a half hours.

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

You could easily sell your Note 1 for around 300 dollars, upgrading to the Note 2 for free.

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"?
I am thinking about buying the n4. I love my n7 but reading some of these forum's it seems quite a few people are unhappy with it. Oh what to do?

That why you only see post about people being unhappy with it..
Most of the time, people wouldn't post anything about the phone if it's working fine/happy with it..
But then you do get the occasionally positive/*this phone rocks* reviews :victory:
I end up selling my N7 after awhile I got my Nexus 4... cause is such pain getting game saves around.. !
Getting mine today :good: First things to do: unlock it, flash recovery and SU and off course Franco kernel. Had it before and liked the phone, the only bad thing about this phone is the camera quality and the washed out colors out of the box.

You will not regret buying this phone, and a custom kernel should increase batterylife quite a lot. And you can set the colors to your own liking
As far as reports of problems go, there are just as many in the Nexus 7 forums. People with issues are simply more vocal.
I for one am finding this phone to be a perfect companion to my Nexus 7 and it's also as near to a flawless specimen as I could have hoped.

Okay I been reading up more on this phone and I can't find a good reason not to get it. Price is great specs are solid and the support and development are going to be off the charts. I'd like to know what case to get, I have been using otter box on past phones but wanna try something different.

To be fair, most of the people in this forum are nexus 4 fanatics, so our opinions may be a bit biased

I would honestly suggest a soft gel/rubber case.. Hard cases ruined my hox, too much pressure to get them on, ended up breaking some ribbon on the board, so the screen won't turn on unless the housing is partially removed.. Which is how I have to use this phone until I fix it or order a nexus 4 if its not fixable for free/really cheap.
The only thing I'm losing is LTE. Which I don't use/rarely use as it is
You should if you can get it for $350 at Play Store. I'm happy with it, very good price for a good phone. If you can live with no LTE, non removable battery, no external SD card, somewhat low/tinny speaker output volume and just average camera quality you'll be happy with it.
I would buy it again. The price is unbeatable. If you can live with the lack of OTG (Which may be fixed eventually) and camera quality then you'll love it. I think the washed out colours thing is due to peoples love for very saturated screens. As I said in another thread, take a photo of something, look at it on the screen, if it's brightly covered in bloom, then it's over saturated. Just because the Nexus 4 is less saturated doesn't mean it's washed out.
All right just ordered it from Google. Can't wait! 388.00 total but that's cheap compared to the other ones I've had bought. Not to worried about the camera I have a camera for that. I'm still not sure on what case but thinking gel case something that won't scratch it n can clean up n not bulky. I don't know what plan to go with being in northern Mn there's not too many options.

Well I got mine about a month ago and I love it. Even more so than my s3. Not worried about lte cuz it's not around here anyway and it does lack storage but I been using drop box. I haven't rooted it yet tho I am fine with it the way it is. No issues with it at all. Beautiful phone with great features and price. They got it right with this one. Love it.

I recently got it and I absolutely love it.
Things to consider though:
1. no SD CARD, got the 16GB version and im still struggling with space.
2. battery life is below average, I'm coming from a Motorola defy which had much better battery life.

Well what's almost as good is when your wife is supportive of you taking a 50 mile drive to pick up one of the only 32gb models available in my area at best buy. Before we got married, like a month into the relationship, my wife bought me an Xbox 360 with second controller and a couple of games. This was years ago but I still get surprised with nice beer purchases and a couple of instances of her "peer pressuring" me into buying various guns for myself because "you deserve it."
