Hi, everyone
Been looking around this forum for weeks and finally got the Note. We have a great forum here and everyone are very helpful. Came from Atrix forum and it was rough over there .
I got it rooted and had clockworkmod loaded. I got the unlocked international version, even though ATT version is just around the corner. I got constant download speed of 1.5-2.00 mb on ATT HSPA+. Im so glad it has a physical home button. It really help.
When I first held the phone, I thought I got scam and got a fake phone . I was thinking it cannot be this big and light. It took me about 5 minutes to get use to the size. I will never go back to any screen less then 5" again. Love this phone!!!
Anyway, just like to give a little feedback and how great this forum is.

Welcome to the Note family.
You are now using a normal-sized phone.
Whatever you're using previously is now considered TINY..

Welcome! I'm a fairly new Note owner too. And I agree with everything you said about the Note. Cheers!
Welcome and don't worry about people asking "does it fit in your jeans?", "wow is that huge", "is this a mobilephone?", "why do you carry a callbox with you?"
It's normal and it's the best smartphone i've ever seen and had in my hands/jeans
I am new too =) welcome
I just updated from a Dell streak, after waiting for like eternity to get a good enough deal on my local network, in the end settled for a unbranded one from Ebay and am quite chuffed as couldn't wait any longer hehe
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.

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.

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..

He was just asking who here plans on purchasing the Note 2 and, although there isn't much point to it, there isn't any need to get offensive. But, back on topic, I will most definitely not be purchasing the Note 2 (regardless of how much of an improvement it is) as I am on 2-year contract that won't allow me to get an upgraded device for another year at least. Besides, the Note does everything I've wanted in a phone, so what point is there in replacing it? As long as I get Jelly Bean, which this device should be getting, I am happy!
I skipped galaxy s 3 for note 2. So I ll be one of the early sparrow.
But somehow I feel like getting my hands on xiaomi phone 2. Its half the price compared to note 2 or S 3.but not available here. So my choice note 2
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
There was no official release yet about the actual spec of note 2. I could'nt decide..
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
I'm not buying the note 2 purely because its a waste of cash to upgrade after a year to something slightly better, which I will make no use of...for example, why would I want a quad core phone when my Note runs perfectly fine at 1GHz playing games etc? The battery is a different issue though, I would like the slightly bigger screen size but it won't be that much bigger.
Finally...I won't be buying a Note 2 because there is nothing new in terms of a 'feel good about' factor, just a faster processor and bigger screen will only make me smile for a week or so and then die away ...then what?

Maybe...I'm not sure. I'm trying to sell my current note as of now. Was thinking about picking up a galaxy nexus to be honest.
I don't know. My note is on eBay for now awaiting a good price...lol.
Haven't even decided if I will sell it for real. I guess time will tell.

Here's a weird-er answer.
I'll get it IF it has a better camera than the S3. If not...I have to say I'll be going towards the S3...
Or find something better to do with my money for a start.....
i know i should wait, and keep my Galaxy Note for atleast 1 more year. My boss, my wife and everybody that i know think i should wait...!
- But i cant...!
I have to have it... This has to be some kind of a mental illness.. But i need to have it regardless of the specs haha

Although possible, I doubt that by Christmas it will be 10 million. A good portion of the 5 million sales figure probably incorporates Samsung's distributors, carriers, and retailers. Nonetheless, this does project likely high sales, but again, I doubt 10 million. Regardless, I love this phone and I should be getting mine Monday! I'm extremely excited.
The Note 2 is without a doubt the best phone i ever had (and had a lot ). It`s fast, rockstable and can do about anything, allready out of the box.
Got my new Note yesterday, haven't been able to put it down since turning it on. A very impressive piece of technology. Have finally found a phone with a decent loudspeaker on it, which makes it worthy of watching movies on...just got to try and sell my SIII now

+10000000 on this. More OEM's should focus on features like this on their flagships. Cough HTC cough cough lg cough Microsoft cough cough apple. Just kidding about apple. But between apple and Samsung maybe other OEMS will figure it out before they lose more face. SMDH high end phones would still have sub par sound when at the very least loudspeaker could benefit from it, not to mention the audio codecs supported natively and then output in general. Did you all also know that noise cancelation benefits battery savings also? Thank Samsung for the high end noise canceling, audience chip, which makes for higher quality calls and doesn't have to transmit extraneous noise from the background so the person you're talking to enjoys a nice clear audio quality.

I have the S3 also. I'm debating the S5, but at the end of the day I think that I want a phone that's smaller than the note. The S5 doesn't have all of the features that I want (namely the larger internal memory), but I think it will be the best option out there. I'm also on the fence, but not sure I could wait until the note 4 comes along.
I'm on the Moto X, and I have my upgrade June 1. I'm at a toss up between the S5, M8, or waiting to see the X2 or Nexus 6. But I hate waiting...

I'm coming from an M7. I used to love HTC but this phone really upset me. Horrible signal (4G basically doesn't work and a SIM swap didn't help), not-so-good camera, and other slow down issues that really annoy me. I've had every HTC phone on Sprint since the Hero and none have disappointed me as much as this one TBH. I wanted an S4 last time but went M7 instead and now I'm just gonna switch over for the S5. Mine's cracked and a replacement would be $200 so I'd rather spend less and get an S5.
Im on the HTC Evo3D still and looking to upgrade and was looking at the One (M8) But the more I look at the S5 the more I like it. My mom has the S4 and being a bit of an HTC guy, I really like her S4. Plus I like the fact that the S5 looks to have an SD card slot as where the One doesnt. Not sure what to do just yet but in about 3 weeks I will be looking to upgrade to something newer. So far the S5 is in the lead. If it gets root right away, then im all in!

Coming from the s3 myself. I was hoping for more competition but I don't see anything else out there as good.
I don't like the sizes getting bigger and think the s3 size is right for me but there just isn't other choices in that range.

I'm sure there will be an S5 mini, or the Moto X is the same size I think.
Just upgraded to the HTC one max and it's pretty nice. There's not much development though. I'm getting the s5 for its waterproof feature and because it looks like the most balanced phone at the moment.

The S2 has been a beast and really stood the test of time I think, but my charging port finally gave out on me 2 weeks ago so i've been forced to make a decision so im jumping ship in hopes that the S5 has the same great community the S2 has had. I just hope i dont end up regretting it, for example locked boot loader keeping us from asop and etc. or maybe i shouldve opted for the note3... hmm.. too late now!
I sure will miss this versatile little phone!

The S3 and S4 are very similar in size and if I recall the S4 might be a bit smaller.
And the biggest thing that is putting me on the fence- Sprint Spark sucks if you depend on using data while on a call. This is kinda a huge deal to me and almost makes the S4 (Non-Triband) a better phone. But at the same time- S5 is kick ass other than that. It has the best battery life of any Android phone due to algorithms. But I may buy a S5 to get Framily plan- I know it sucks but it is something.
