I am giving up my Note.
I pay for my father's phone and his current one has died on him. Because his sight is getting bad he wanted a 'phone like mine' with a massive screen.
I have considered the Note 2 as a replacement or the S3 but am being swayed by the Sony Xperia T as I take a lot of photos on my phone and the camera was my only point of contention with the Note - the camera hardware/optics aren't that great.
Regardless, I'll be visiting another forum soon so I just wanted to say thanks to Chainfire, Dr Ketan and everyone else who has made owning a rooted Note such an amazing experience!

Basically we are so much emotionally attached with community so can't leave without saying see off. Just take it easy, I know other point of view too. But emotion is always beyond the control of we human beings.
So it's ok, may one common thread can be started to say goodbye to all or such kind of thread should be reported by op himself after some period to keep forum clean.
@op
Wish you happy journey with your new baby.

I'm leaving the Note as well. Why? I'm getting a Note II.
Dr ketan is right. I have seen other forums (such as the s5830 have a common goodbye thread.

A common thread for goodbyes would be useful. Generally I consider saying goodbye a nice gesture by the people leaving the Note forum.

Don't want to start any flaming but my main reason for saying goodbye was to thank those who give their time, free of charge or depending only on donations, to make our phone experience better.
Most people understand the sentiment of thanking someone for having a positive impact on their lives and experiences, but if you don't subscribe to that then just don't contribute!
My next phone will probably be the Xperia T, if I can handle the reduction in screen size that is. My Mrs has just got an Xperia S and its a great phone, the stock software is the best I've ever seen on a phone, build quality is excellent. Thing is things are just getting great with the Note development wise, so will be sticking here at least until the price comes down a little on the T.
Oh and another reason to get a Xperia T - Codeworkx has got one.
Enjoy your new phone, nothing like being new phone happy.:highfive:

I got the Xperia T in the end. So far so good - the half an inch less screen makes a BIG difference but the T is great and once I'd stopped using the Note for a few hours I didn't miss it so much. The camera is just amazing. I RDP to my PC quite a lot and was worried the smaller screen would be an issue but nope, it's fine, so I know it will be fine for everything else too.
This will be my last post in this forum because I can't be bothered with the likes of abhinav and because I'm moving on to pastures new.
Make sure you use the NEW off-topic thread in future guys
(mods: feel free to lock this!)
I'm sorry this post devolved into forum philosophy but hey, enjoy the new phone! For me, its Note or Note 2 for the time being... screen size being all to me!

Just wanted to make a thread to see how many people with accually answer.
The Galaxy S2 is by FAR the best android phone i have ever had,and i've had quite a few!!
AM WANT TO MAKE LITTLE SGS2 BABIES WITH THIS PHONE!!
pointless thread but agreed, this phone is the nuts!
VR + some ninpo magic makes it fly
It's my very first Android device, and at first I thought "OMG, amazing device *like*"
Now I got it for about ~2 1/2 months, and with every day I love it more
IMO this thing is as close to a complete PC as laptops are to desktops, i.e. there is just *SO* much one can do with it (esp. talking things that go way beyond just using apps )

Is this thread really necessary?
Nope. Thread closed
I make no apology for posting another very positive review of the Note, because it is well written and it shows everyone, especially prospective buyers, how fantastic the Note really is.

The Note is not bad at all, which is why there are so many positive reviews that should be posted to the forum to help newcomers decide whether to buy the Note or not.
I actually used some reviews from bigger sites to consider getting the note and also referred to 1 user review, none of them really covered the negatives or even atleast tried to go into that part (but I dont blame them) I dont fault samsung for this but only my self for not having enough information before purchasing, well actually the information was already presented to me before purchasing and I still took the plunge, good thing though Im getting my money back. Maybe the Galaxy S3 or Note2 can give me what I need.
@EarlZ: In your opinion yes - refund 9.02.12
So what ist the reason for such a destructive post?

Sarcastic or destructive, care to elaborate what makes you say that? The above statement the very gist of what I got the Galaxy Note.. based on good reviews from major sites that I trust and they failed to cover some points but it was already covered here in XDA but I still took the plunge, I found it unacceptable and asked for my money back.. isnt that what everyone does if they find the product unacceptable for their needs/expectation ?
But anyway thats your personal translation of my post, just saying what those reviews got me.

I agree completely. Finding it weird that someone who's returned his note and hates the phone keep posting to a forum for those who use it.

Yup, the only thing he's done here for the last two month is whining in every single thread, and if he doesn't even have the Note now, i really don't know why he's wasting his energy here.
Please move to the Galaxy Nexus section (where you'll experience the same problems).

No, it's not that bad. There are a few people who returned them, but I haven't counted too many.
extremely satisfied
if the size is not an issue go for the note
The screen is the most amazing i have ever used
The screen size is a pleasure to surf or watch videos or photos
Gaming is a pleasure
I also own the hd2 with a 4.3 inch screen and the
latest ics rom ported to it
But the moment i saw the note i was deeply in love again.
I dont feel like using the hd2 anymore its screen looks so dull and outdated.
The note is the god of all phones.
Not a single reboot. Amazing speed.great 3g surfing
I just cant imagine any reason not to go fo it

I have an S2 and a Note. I thought my S2 was the best phone I've ever used until the Note. I have read all the problems people have had but for me personally I have not experienced ANY of these issues.
The S2 was originally snappier than my Note but once I upgraded to LA4 its as fast as my S2. The S2 is a great phone but as someone else stated, if size isn't an issue I would recommend the Note. I love everything about it and still marvel at it each day.

Hey guys, will you stop quoting the Fickle Filipino Troll? Messes with my ability to ignore him.
don't be racist man, I'm Filipino and I hate EarlZ's trolling too. I agree that he doesn't have to spread his dismay on every freakin' thread.
I have att S2 and waiting for the Note. Been reading tons of great reviews, no one mentions to the cons. Should i keep believing they all great?
http://www.bgr.com/2012/02/13/samsungs-galaxy-note-is-the-most-useless-phone-ive-seen/
In case you don't want to reward BGR with page views, here's the summation:
The phone is too big. You will look stupid talking on it, people will laugh at you, and you’ll be unhappy if you buy it. I really can’t get around this, unfortunately, because Samsung pushed things way too far this time.

As above, everyone is entitled to an opinion. All i can say is that the two people in my office that made fun of the note before i got it now want one, and my wife is asking for one instead of iphone 4S (she has iphone, ipad, and macbook air). Maybe BGR has small apendages...

Sorry mate but you are a real no-go compared to OUR stylus
An article about the Note that affirms that you'll look stupid and people will laugh at you when you hold it is just stupid. The writer's lack of arguments led him to write such a nonsense in a news site. Come on.

This is a review, and as such belongs in the review sticky. I have copied the first post to that thread.
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?

Seems to me as though the OP was merely conveying his appreciation to people who had helped him in the play forums.
You on the other hand are flaming. How about being a bit more respectful.
I have the Samsung Galaxy SIII, but as much as I like that phone I am still keeping my play for the fact it`s still my favorite as a gaming device.
Not sure why other users don`t choose to have the best of both worlds too?
this was to show my appreciation from the users in the play forums and used the sgs3 for few days fast smooth and everything else but the play had the x factor because of the hardware buttons and everything else Keeping the play but wont be used as much as it has no sim now
