Friends,
I thought I should share this review video I came across. I have gone through so many galaxy note reviews, but this has been straight up the best. Really feel connected, and I think a lot of the galaxy note current users who love the phone would connect with the review a lot.. and those who are still thinking of buying a Note, definitely check it out.
Excellent review but you should have posted it in the review thread, I can smell the Ganja...
Interesting. I've come to the stage with the SGS2 where I need to gift it to my partner & get a new phone, it being a bit small now it seems to me. I've wondered about the SGS3 but that may not be a lot bigger, 4.65 rumor? So bottom line, the Note is really OK for everyday use?

the Note is supreme, the one to rule them all...The only thing I can see missing is IR port, so it could be used as a TV remote, then it would have been the complete phone..the ultimate..
Ericsson P800 had everything, it was supreme...crappy screen and touch function, but not far from the best.

That's amazing! I congratulate you on your great luck!
Same opinion, this Note is great.
So great that my Archos Tablet is lying on my table and I nearly don't use it anymore
A great review, and he's very entertaining! I agree with him about the size and power of the note making it more than a phone. Any future upgrade will have to be to something very similar to my note.

Great video. I think alot of people thought the same way when they first take a look at it.
Its funny how normal the note is once you get use to it. You only really notice how big it is when you use another device.
Great review couldn't have said it better myself!

Yeah i'm subbed to that guy....great vids! And yes....the Note is the BEST!
It is an awesome phone. I've had mine for about a month mine. Switched from an iPhone 4S. Took me a while to get accustomed but after trying multiple roms and kernels, I now don't think I'd go back to the 4S.
mine arrived yesterday, and its a great device, other than I am still wiping drool from it..
Love his quote: "iPhone, BE GONE!"

looks like white available again for people that want one.
The prices are down everywhere, you can get it new from multiple third parties at Amazon as well.
They need to make a limited edition all black Galaxy Nexus....would be sexy as hell.
This is one of the few where the white one doesn't look that good. Most likely because the front screen isn't white also......an all black would look sexy as hell
These guys seem a bit dubious. Better safe than sorry.

Dubious? How did you reach that conclusion?
They have almost 240k feedbacks (98.7% positive). If that's your definition of dubious, I guess you won't be buying much online.

Hello members, so i was reading about the GooPhone that is supposedly patented with the Iphone 5 design in China. They are apparently ready to sue apple once the phone is released.
Anyway it led me to a site that has android/windows/blackberry devices.
Now they seem legit, have looked around and seen that there are some reviews, only negative comments are about the long shipping.
My question is, has anyone here ever ordered from this site.
http://www.fastcardtech.com/
I was interested in maybe ordering a device playing with it for a while, then maybe sending to a dev to see if the components would match that of its US counterpart to see if custom ROMS would be able to be installed.
So please read, look, get interested, and chat about the site!!!!

Yeah. I've been looking. I think its a good deal. If phone works pretty well may get more like them.
Like I stated. I have an upgrade,I'm with TMOUS so right now not sure. Hoping the Note2 makes its way over. Soon

a 6" phone... holy crap... are these any good? My mother has been wanting a Galaxy note for the screen size but she uses none of the features of a smart phone other than basic calendar and to do tasks. This would be great....

If she really doesn't do anything on it then I would get out for her because 512mb of ram is the same a an IPhone which has fast enough speed for every day tasks not sure if she will need more than 4GB of space but there is a microsd slot up to 32GB so that might help 1GHz processor is beyond overkill for what you said she does so sure why not!

After some careful research, and some digging into chinese forums. These phones are complete fakes.
It seems that they may not ever make it stateside. They also have IMEI problems, so they may work for a week, but after that they seem to start having disconnect problems. Also looks like the GPS will not work, being that it is based in China satelittes will not transmit here.
I almost bought one today, like 3 times, but after more and more digging, I have decided not too.
This seems to be a complete scam. There are a bunch of sites claiming fraudulent accounts among the site as well.
What seemed so nice quickly slips away.

Ouch... Buzzkill... Guess I should've done a little more digging before posting those sites. BTW, do you have any reference links?
I first went on www.fastcardtech.com/forums and was reading the results of users. Alot sounded pretty upset. Although there are not very many replies, there are some feedback.
I asked a question about a device, and then asked the same question again 2days later, and got a different answer. I will do it again, and get a screen shot so that I can show you all. There was another forum in XDA about the site, there are some saying its legit, others not so much.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561534
Will post back with more.
I am still considering ordering one, just havent decided yet. I know as soon as I do that they will announce the Note 2 for Tmobile.
I have found a few more credible sites, there is,
www.koobay.com
www.exportandgo.com
Upon searching the fastcardtech site brands devices to companies that dont actually have these devices. For instance, I have found the HDC (china phone maker) and they list their products, then you reference the FTC site and there are thousand of HDC branded devices that are not actually HDC brand!
I've seen an apple S4 by them. The screen res is terrible.it had virtually no memory. Build was terrible. Do not waste your money. I'm sure no rom with work on them.

any of these knockoffs will not work with any of the regular roms, you would have to make a rom for that knock off device model.. as you can imagine without a lot of people owning them your chances of getting a good rom is slim.
Acording to gsmarena, our phone is getting some more colour options, just like the SGSIII. Here is the link:

Too little to late for me. Would have probably stayed with pebble blue anyway though.
Yes, but it gives me hope that Samsung wont forget about supporting this phone very quickly..And that will gain popularity.
True. Hope it motivates more people to get it. And that grey is very cool.

Here in Ireland they were selling the red one and the gray one is also available, I haven't seen the black one yet.
I've been trying to find some of the alternate colors for the Note 3.
I'm on T-Mobile and I noticed they only offer black & white.
After digging a little deeper it looks like none of the carriers have the colorful varieties.
Can anyone confirm this. Can I get the Note 3 in other colors?
As far as I know you are stuck with white and black for the initial offering with pink to perhaps follow. Pink phones don't sell well and require inventory space. Space is At a premium for most retail shops.
Maybe you'll get them when you lot learn how to spell colours!

I can understand that. But, I kind of feel it's a rip to not give us all the options that Samsung offered.

... Maybe one of THESE? 7 bux. I ordered one. Not sure why as it'll be in a case most of the time but oh well...

There are three colors and you can have two of them. So you're lamenting not being able to buy Blush Pink? Since that's the only color missing your thread title should be "No Blush Pink for the US???"

Gold is Best. Best! Best! Best!
After watching the drop test video, I ended up pulling the trigger on a slim Spigen case. I'm hoping that at least maybe the impact to the case would help minimize shock to the phone a little bit. I know that getting a flip cover to protect the screen side would be more effective, but I don't think that I'd really want to flip the cover open each time I want to use my phone.

No thanks. We're more efficient over here. We're better about removing excess letters that aren't even pronounced in a word.
I'd consider using a pink Note 3 /rebelgade
Also, I personally wouldn't buy one of those aluminum back plates since the phone is designed with its factory plastic back plate in mind. My two cents, anyway.
Just wait a few months that's how Samsung roles.
Color options always come later on, but given its the a Galaxy Note device its not as common place as the Galaxy S line in color options. Still it might happen.
Just wait a little and before you know it just like the s4 we will have a lot of color options in the states

Supposedly it screws up the NFC feature, which I don't really care about at this point. Thought they look pretty slick personally. And for 7 bux shipped, no big loss if it's junk...

If you were to speak English properly, you would pronounce them, albeit subtly!
It also wasn't a very efficient removal either since only half a job was done - Photo/Foto and Quick/Kwik spring to mind....
