You're my age cut the capital D happy faces.
The Note is going to be like the dell streak. I thought it was way too big to be practical, and my predictions were correct. They phone/tablet had horrible sales. This seems to be a little smaller but I think 4.6 is max . I think 4.3 big enough already but holding a 5+ inch phone in your pocket all day seems like a pain.
Galaxy nexus is my next phone the moment it drops on the sprint network

When is CES? Now!!! Have you heard anything? NO! next event is MWC which is end of Feb. After announcement (if any ) it will be about 3 months till release ....might be even later due to geographical reasons ..
Get either of the phones don't wait its not worth it

Wait for CES? Serious? CES is pretty much over already. If you wait, you'll have to wait until CES 2013. Haha.
MWC is in late February though. Rumors are Samsung will announce the SGS3 then and there. We'll see.

Technically, you cant make a comparison between a tablet n a smartphone. But i have to agree it is a pain in my pocket to carry it all around the hall day ;( im searching for a small bag that can fit my Note and can hang on my belt. Hopefully i can find one.. ^^

"The Note is going to be like the dell streak."
-wrong, Samsung has already sold a million
"I thought it was way too big to be practical, and my predictions were correct."
-your reasoning for this is incorrect. The streak was marketed extremely badly,
shipped with an very old version of android, and had performance issues.
"They phone/tablet had horrible sales."
-Yes as stated above for different reasons which are not an issue with Samsung Note and as stated they have sold a million Samsung Notes already.
"This seems to be a little smaller but I think 4.6 is max."
-a pattern of you being wrong again and again...
The Samsung Note is 5.3 which is even bigger then the Dell Streak.
"I think 4.3 big enough already but holding a 5+ inch phone in your pocket all day seems like a pain."
-another assumption? It is not a problem to have this phone even in the skinny pants that I wear all the time and I am extremely physically active.
"Galaxy nexus is my next phone the moment it drops on the sprint network"
-another bad choice, most of the world uses GSM and for good reason. If your are going to go with CDMA at least go with Verizon who has acceptable coverage only in the US. AT&T with an unlocked phone is the best choice especially if you are worldly and like to travel.

so is it a pain when ur sitting only? or also when ur walking

Galaxy Note is way better than Galaxy Nexus because of the Mali chipset, Nexus chipset is a real deal breaker, in my country Note is already selling like hotcakes where as nexus is loosing its market value.
I am going to buy Note soon.

When i bought my Note, I thought I would use it primarily as a small tablet, and that I would continue to use my HTC Sensation as my regular phone.
I learned very quickly that the size of the Note wasn't an issue, and that when I used my Sensation I just found it felt small and cramped. So, I swapped my primary SIM into the Note, and now use it as a daily driver.
Consequently, I fundamentally disagree with your assertion that the Note is too big, because it really isn't noticable either in the hand, or in the pocket.

Dave

I am a Samsung galaxy note owner after having the S2 & the HTC desire HD.
I cannot imagine ever going back to my former devices after using the Note!
It is by far the best phone I have ever had and to be quite honest I thought that the size would be a problem which later on, as I discovered, was not.
It fits in the same pockets as my S2 without any problem...
No comparison can be made hardware wise and surely if someone gets to use it, he won't compare it to any other device in circulation...

i chose note becuz hardware is better than nexus... 4.6" is not enough screen size anyway... software is handled by upcoming update (custom roms kickass anyway)
i just finished going to the gym with the note on my shorts pocket... had no problem there...

Could the Note last you a good 5 years?

Before upgrading to the next best top model? All I see coming in the next few years are phones with more cores, better camera, the only thing I would replace my Note with is probabaly with a bigger screen.

I'll be happy if it lasts me a good 18 months before I'm ready to bounce to the next best thing.

You best be kidding. Samsung will be looking to make you salivate and throw money at them for the Note 2 when it eventually arrives.

Mobile technology is moving too fast to get 5yrs out of a device - especially if you are driven to take advantage of new technologies. (Which probably is 100% of the XDA member base).
I expect in 10-16 months the next generation Note will be out there. Will it be a worthy upgrade? Probably.
Will it be a necessary upgrade? Probably not.
The average person probably goes from Gen 1 to Gen 3... Gen 3 to Gen 5, etc. I'm basing this on my circle of friends, anyway, iphone and ipad users.

I usually change my phone after 3 years, most of the time cause its not supported anymore, or cause the new OS isn't optimized (was on iphone and iOS 5 ask more power than the 3GS can provide). I'll see with the futur phone generation, one thing is sure, i cant go back to something <5,3"

Maybe a year...another 6 months if you're not very passionate about latest devices....

I always get a new phone every 12 months, 5 years? I can't imagine how awesome a phone I'm going to have in 5 years time :-D

5 years!?
5 months might be a better time frame given how fast phone tech is evolving.
What I don't understand is why people lock themselves to a device. I make sure I keep my phones in mint condition and when I want something new I trade or sell it on craigslist.

Mobile tech is evolving too fast. I mean, with 95% of the app being simple 2D graphics what will you do with a tegra3 quadcore, honestly ? So much power for nothing, as phones can already handle 1080p HD videos and stuff.

I see myself with the note for like 1 year. Until,something spectacular comes out.

The difference is, Note is made by Samsung, its very popular and successful device already. Mark my words, there will be a successor to Note. Most probably this year itself.

I can see myself using this device for a very long time, or until it breaks. The Note has a nice balance of power, screen estate, and most importantly, battery life.
Until they improve battery technology, I will not bother moving on the Tegra 3 devices, even if the Note 2 will be quad-core. There's simply no need for that. Google is always playing catchup with making the best of hardware so in all honesty even if you got a quad-core phone, you'd probably wait a good entire year before it becomes fully optimized. =)

I will never be able to spend 2 years with the same phone. Reason why I try to protect my Note as best as I can and when the time will come I will sell it and go for the next one like I did with my last SGS1.

Last Android update this phone is going to get is Adroid 4.0. Android 5.0 will be out in 3-4 months. Samsung is not in business to produce any software support for these phones, unlike Apple. After 6 months Note is not going to get any android updates, like first Galaxy Nexus.

keep or sell?

Hey guys
I've been a gtab owner since January this yr, and I'm very pleased with it.
But now with the recent horde of tablets incoming I was wondering whether I should sell this now while I still can get a decent amount for it and buy either the tf pad 300 or the tab 2 - if its quad core.
Wat do u guys think?
Shall I keep my tab and wait for ics? Or sell now, and buy one of the new Samsung or Asus tablets.
Thanks
Adam
PS. This is just opinions, so no flaming please

I'm actually in the same boat, and I've decided to keep it. Unless you really want to play "demanding" games.
There's always going to be new better devices getting released, just something you have to accept.

I'll be keeping mine until the higher resolution tablets appear, especially the next Samsung one.
Then I'll pass this tablet to my girlfriend who doesn't care about such things.

Hmm yeh you've got a point. I wish Samsung would hurry up with the ics update. :L

I'm hoping for a google branded 10-incher with 3g, which would hopefully bring more timely os updates and no annoying vendor skinning. Failing that, I'm happy enough with my (pershoot cm9) 7500 to keep it a good while longer.

the galaxy tab 2 has the same specs as this. Samsung says the hardware is still good.

But, the Tab 2's might not be all there is. There's a bunch of rumors about "Espresso" 10.1" and 7" tablets that could potentially have quad-cores and HD displays becoming Samsung's iPad fighter/premium line. A tablet may be announced at the May 3 Galaxy event in London and that should provide some clarity.
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Wake...spresso-7-tablets-to-launch-this-June_id29071
For those looking at tablets, here's something to think about. They may all look the same but they aren't designed and built the same way. I've been following the Prime and while Asus represents great value there's tons of compromise in the process. Like AzureWave (vs. Broadcom) radios with no 5Ghz support, HannSpree displays riddled with dead pixels and LCD bleed, and truly questionable build quality. Here's a tear down of the Prime. You get what you pay for.

To get the price down, it'll be interesting to see what types of compromises Samsung accepted with the Tab 2's.

The transformer pad 300 has been announced, £399 pounds from early may. That is tempting, quad core keyboard dock and ics for 399. :L

I'm in the same boat too. I think I'm gonna wait for the 1920x1080 (1080p) tablets to come out from Samsung, Sony, Asus, and Acer and then decide on one of those. I hope one of them will have double the ram at that resolution or at least 1.8 - 2.0 Ghz Tegra 3 processors to push that res. They'll need it.

I'm returning this tablet, I just bought it three days ago. The lag on it kills me I already dislike touchwiz. Returning tomorrow and ordering the Asus tf300t. Plus better for less $$.

but as always the clean cut Bala has hit it on the nail on the coffin. hox and s3 are the best android phones of the moment and only enhance android even more

my friend has an ipad and he had a 3gs before he got his new s3. he loves android but still he is a noobie. same with me..before i moved to android last year i only had iphones...although the last year they kinda did not do anything to push the iphone to the next level i still highly rate them. so as you said as well. looking with very high interest what they will bring to the table this week coming. should be interesting to see what they will find as "innovating" and time to revolutionize

Personally, I think mt HTC One X LTE runs quite poorly for the specs and is not a good representative of Android.
The GS3 is amazing though and my old phone, the Xperia S ran quite well despite the older Qualcomm S3 chipset.

I already guessed what's the next ios/iphone5 look like/features are... the ios is going to be exactly same as is now. Same layout. Same icons, same ui. Iphone5 going to be same as is now with a larger screen. No microUSB, no MicroSD , non removable battery.... .... it's time people wake up

I hope thisnisnt the case though if history is any indicator then this is exactlynehat we'll see. iOS is so stale and its time for some big changes and ideally some sort of marriage between osx and ios for the ipad- while the ipad may be the most popular tablet with the most app support, it certainly doesn't have an ideal OS or even one that capitilizes on the available real estate.

Galaxy S III vs other phone out there today.

Hey guys!
I just recently lost my Galaxy S 3, and honestly I was thinking I will buy the phone again, but since I'm going to use my money to invest a brand new phone. Is there any other phone out there which is better than the S 3 today? I'm not interested in HTC One X.

I would wait for the Note 2 that will be unveiled later this month.
Sent from Galaxy Note using xda premium

Yeah, but Note 2 is taking to long time. I really need a new phone, you know...

If you need a phone right now and can't wait to see what apple has to offer in September or October then SG3 is the best choice.

No Apple product. Only Android phone, but thanks... Maybe I should consider and buy a new Galaxy S 3 after all?

Huawei Ascend D Quad and Ascend D Quad XL are definite contenders, but apparently not out worldwide until October.

SGS3 NO QUESTION
or maybe even GNex at a cheap price?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

If you cant wait definately the SGS III. There is no other device that is so well rounded atm. Nice screen, best ergonomic design in the android line (after 2 years with a DHD its a blessing to be able to power up the phone with the physical homebutton and shut it off on the side, no way to power on a OneX with only one hand of my size...), good battery life, exactly as much storage as you need: 16-128gb, nice UI and huge XDA support.
There were two other devices i was thinking about: The Huawei Ascend D quad and the Galaxy Nexus. But the huawei had cpu problems and was delayed - not a good sign imho. And what looked like a stock google experience first with fast updates, was killed by another bad looking sluggish UI, so we have no idea how fast they will bring out updates etc.
The Galaxy Nexus is only nice because it already has JB and is cheaper, but that will eventually come to the SGSIII as well. The small storage and the lower mpx camera were the turnoff here.
And you know how it is with Smartphones there is always the next big thing right around the corner... So after having the SGSIII for a few days i really feel like i have made the right choice! Its such a big step if you're coming from an older phone like the DesireHD. Everything is soo fu***** fast!!!

Alright, thanks for the advice, but from every places I have read, and heard personal from Huawei owner wasn't satisfied with the product. Either the phone died to quickly, or the battery just started to decrease, or yet... it just stop, or freeze, so they have to reboot all the time.
I used to own my GSIII, and the phone was nice. I wasn't unhappy with the product, except I didn't like the home button. It was small and narrow, and not so flexible like the GS II.
Personally, it would be more higher chance for me to buy the GS III again, but since the GS III just arrived out to the market for few months now, and I was thinking perhaps there might be a better phone which could stand against the GS III. Personally, I would love the phone have a good sound chip. The GS II suck so hard vs the GS I and III for the sound.

The only two complaints, although major, I had with the Xperia S was that it was using the Qualcomm S3 and the screen had a yellow tint problem. I didn't mind GB so much and the Qualcomm S3 was actually surprisingly smooth. The tablet S with a crappy tegra 2 runs incrediblly smooth with the ICS update too.
So I would think the Xperia GX and Mint will be the closest S3 competitors on the horizon. They earned some points with me. I am sure Nokia will show the windows phone 8 flagship soon as well.

Alright, thanks for the advice, but from every places I have read, and heard personal from Huawei owner wasn't satisfied with the product. Either the phone died to quickly, or the battery just started to decrease, or yet... it just stop, or freeze, so they have to reboot all the time.
I used to own my GSIII, and the phone was nice. I wasn't unhappy with the product, except I didn't like the home button. It was small and narrow, and not so flexible like the GS II.
Personally, it would be more higher chance for me to buy the GS III again, but since the GS III just arrived out to the market for few months now, and I was thinking perhaps there might be a better phone which could stand against the GS III. Personally, I would love the phone have a good sound chip. The GS II suck so hard vs the GS I and III for the sound.

Thats probably why Huawei delayed the phones. It should bother you if they released the phones in that state, not that they held off on releasing them to fix the problems.
