This will replace my note since no cm support
http://mobile.theverge.com/2012/10/...nning-5-inch-1080p-j-butterfly-phone-in-japan
It's presuming a lot that this will receive better support, and who knows what form it shows up as in the U.S. Current rumors are mostly about a Verizon only device...so that'll be locked down.
I am interested though, since I'm on Verizon...will be waiting for both to come out and give it a look. Hard choice.

This will only come out in japan. And will probably recieve no cm support because of only chinese limit, and HTC unsupportive.
And stop making "faults of GN2" "why not to buy a GN2" "this phone kills note 2" threads! If you dont want to buy a Note 2, dont! These pointless threads are superflous nowadays :/ just go back to your own forum and contribute, and help, but dont tell people who own a Note II why not to buy a Note.
Thanks!
Thing 1: note2 has cm support..
Thing 2: its just a hoax of htc..full hd screen on 5inch screen is ridiculous and has no point of that high ppi as a human eye cant detect it..
Just 2000mah battery on this mammoth of a device u better be used to see it switched off most of the time..coz it cant and wont last more than 3hrs screen time..
And samsung now has the best support in d world..
I had one x for last 6 months and got 3 updates..
I have gn2 since a week and I got 3 updates already..
And be ready to wait 2 months atleast before htc releases its kernel source code after an update..
All d best with ur sh!tty switched off brick beauty..

Don't get me wrong. I live my gn2 , love it
Thing 1, Where can i get cm for it?
Been let down sooo many times by HTC, that I am very reluctant to go back....despite its 5 inch screen. There is no way the 2200mah battery on their new 5 inch screen phone will be adequate for it's screen size and processor. To me, Note 2 got it right to increase battery size from Note 1.
HTC for me means poor / v. limited updates/support and all too often, poor battery. Been there with HTC Hero and Diamond. Touch Pro 2 was only bearable one in terms of battery. HTC Flyer 's official update to Honeycomb completely disabled it's touch sensitive buttons. I love the software and build of HTC products, but that is about it.

Sure. The ROM zip link is the same in both yours and mine.
So you can cross "no CM support" off the list of complaints, I guess.
Ill stick with my note 2, never cared for CM anyway.

Was waiting for this phone since March when Toshiba announced their 5" 1080p panel, but seeing as how there's a smaller battery and lacks the S-Pen, making this just a really large high-res screen, I think i'll still go with the note 2, although I wish the note 2 used a 5.5" 1080p panel, but at this point, the res is just getting ridiculous (coming from a guy who used to have a Vaio Z... two years before 1080p 13" laptops were standard)

10MP camera with dual LED flash

Honestly, it kinda looks like a kirf droid. For AT&T's sake I hope the specs are amazing, we need a strong phone from Motorola .
Not a bit, but I do like that widget. Anybody know what it is?

anyways about the phone, it kind of looks dull and boring adn the operator logo is there just to waste space? wouldnt it be smarter to put capacitive buttons there instead of wasting the part of the screen

Capacitive buttons? Soft keys on the screen is a better option for ICS. However, I agree that the carrier logo is ugly as ****.
well, soft keys just waste space on the screen for instance look at the htc onex, lg optimus 4x, and the sgs3 . All have dedicated buttons (gotta say i dont like the hard home key on the sgs3 though), which looks better and more useful at least in my opinion

Not a smartphone, not a tablet, ...the future of pen and paper.
The modern day filofax?
It obliterates the competition.
To qualify, been a htc fanboi since spv. Loved how the wife's iphone keyboard never makes a spelling mistake, despaired how htc keyboard was useless. Blown away how everything just worked with the wife's ipad 3, unlike cheap android tablets. This leads me to this ultralight technological revelation, the Note 2. I've never used anything that you can write with a pen, that is so accurate. In business we still write so much on paper, this really feels like the future. Okay, I admit I'm blown away by it. And I never liked samsung mobli's before.
One criticism... this god awful cheap and nasty plastic chrome ring around the phone. Hellloo? 550 quid, give us some metal. The silver back of the iphone 5 is soo blinging tasty. But if metal adds weight, leave it off, the lightness of this device will make your jaw drop.
Happy rant over. Lol

Whenever some says, 'is that your phone?' I always say, "yes. It's more of a pocket tablet though".
My own rant: current media definitions of phone/tablet/phablet are STUPID.
Since when does something suddenly become 'something else' if it is .1 inches wider?
Does that happen with any other piece of technology?

I would describe it as the new Jesus Phone!
its a mini tablet, or a big smartphone. or phablet
OP, if you are impressed by this, try the Galaxy Note 10.1! It's incredible as well. Much better than any iPad I've ever touched.

I will always consider anything smaller than 7 inches a phone. That said, a 6 inch GN might be too big. So it's a phone you can use IMO, no need to zoom in to everything. At least that's what I'm expecting it to be.
When someone says wow is that ur phone ... I say if u think my phone is big .. well u can guess the rest lol
Only kidding

I just received my Note 2. I purchased it to replace my 10.1" tablet and I couldn't be more pleased with it. My ASUS TF700 & kbd dock go up on eBay today - I won't miss hauling it around.
I tend to think of the Note 2 as a mini tablet more than a phone but I'm hoping that perception changes a bit as I carry it the next month or two. If I can see using it as my phone and tablet in one device I'll be purchasing the T-Mobile branded version with my upgrade when the Note 2 is released through T-Mobile. My .16 year old son really wants one of these things as a replacement for his WiFi Ipad 2 (we're not providing him with data for his phone - he'll need a job for that) so I'll trade him my international Note 2 for his Ipad if I doget the T-Mobile version.
Maybe it's a phablet. Time will tell.
GN2 is A Phone or Tablet with Magical stick (Jadu Ki Chadi).....:thumbup:

So which phone would complement the Note 2 well..

Not a bad idea . Although personally, I'd grab a Windows Phone 8 phone when they come out, only because the UI is refreshing (Android and iOS are starting to look like one another). Although if you wanna wait, Jolla says they're going to come out with a hardware device soon (and the N9 had a REALLY nice looking UI and concept of swiping to get things done).

I won't because Samsung is not helping open source devs by releasing Exynos sources. Exynos is not open source friendly at the moment and the power of Android is the ability to customize your phone and install different types of roms, if i will have to wait Samsung to release an Android OS update after 6 months or live with stock based roms which are all the same apart some build.prop tweaks and deleted apps what's the point of having Android.
I'll personally send a big f**k to any new Sammie products and will wait until the next moto nexus or iPhone 6 whatever phone will be the best for me.

No source available for devs. Plus it's a f*****g shame to wait so long for official update of a FLAGSHIP phone.
You know S2 is dead and 4.2.1 will be the last version provided by CM for our device? This phone is one year and a half old and it's already dead. I will go for a nexus next time, that's for sure. I want a decent product follow up which is not the case on Sammie product and especially with their closed BS exynos chips.

I'd like to go for it, but as these guys pointed out, I'm annoyed about the closed nature of Exynos. To be honest, my ideal phone would be a nexus device but with expandable memory. Unfortunately that's the deal breaker for me.

Until Samsung changes it's way of operating (not making their exynos projects open source) I won't be any Samsung phones. I rather go with Nexus devices. Keeping exynos closed source is a real setback for the majority of developers which in return limits the amount of innovation in roms.
S II is gonna get a lime pie update, remember that.
Now, about this s4 thing....is it 8.5 mm thick? it weights less than 116 gr? if not, sticking to S II.
I don't care for non-capacitive-buttons devices. How the hell would I know when to unlock my JB leak screen otherwise?
Actually my s2 is working pretty good for how I use it now, def need a new huge battery for the extra fun I could squeeze out of.
top comments do have a point but seriously with the active xda community, top rated forums r screaming Samsung all over.
Yea they're not so open , yea they're taking their sweet time with updates n such but seriously its a big thanks to all the devs who help n make what u have even better.
Back on track will I buy the next Sammie, depends on how much better it is... The s3 wasn't much of an improvement so I stuck with the s2 Currently running rootboxs version of jb and they're doing a great job , add to that dorimanxs kernel and u have a top of the line phone with the best options to tweak at hand for daily use/battery/performance/ no bloat what so ever.... The list goes on
Sorry for the long post I just had to get it out ^_^

If Galaxy S3 is released, I'll spend enough money to buy it, maybe the budget between 600 > 700$ :laugh: :laugh:

I will go for it !! As soon as I win the lottery :crying:
Sammie behaviour is not a deal breaker for u? Personally I won't allow the same company to f**k me twice in the a*s.
When I buy a flagship phone I want a premium support which is not the case at all.
I do expect a lot from the moto nexus. Or Sony maybe which is friendly with devs. Otherwise I'll return on the apple side waiting for THE Nexus phone,
And I don't speak about the lack of respect to the devs community after having offered them some GS2 promising a good cooperation and making me believe a bright future and a long life for this phone, they just get BS communication and disappointment. This lack of respect to the guys without who will would have this bull**** version of android made in Samsung. They have spent a lot of times to offer for free a great android version and they deserve a big thanks for all of us running their work on our s2. And now most of them are gone, some to the nexus others to Sony side due to Samsung behavior. I can not understand how a CM user may think of buying a Sammie phoen again.
It's time for my upgrade!! Any suggestions?? I was kinda eyeballing the Razr M.

Xperia Z.
All the way.
I can't speak for you, but after my bitter xperience (pun intended) with Xperia P, I'd say ANYTHING BUT the Xperia line.
I was really disappointed with Xperia P and since then I've lost interest in anything starting with the word Xperia.
Except, of course, for Xperia Play which was made by a different company - Sony Ericsson.
EDIT: Oh, and I'd defo pick either a Razr or a Nexus if given the choice.
to be honest , i'm waiting for a new phone with a gamepad ! ( i hope someday samsung do that ... ) cause xperia Z,p,s,U ... and galaxy s2 , s3... are just a phone .
i can't do anything without a dedicated gamepad ...
I'm going for the Galaxy Note III (when it will come out), such a bad-ass screen
Though I would've by far preferred an Xperia Play 2, sadly such a possibility (if it ever happens) won't be for soon.

He's on Verizon, and they don't sell Xperia phones unfortunately. He'd have to go and buy one from SE if wanted it.
I chose the Galaxy SIII, and it's pretty nice. I've heard bad things about both the Droid DNA and the Nexus 4, so I chose something else. From what I remember, they both had hardware issues. The Nexus 4's glass backing will break easily, and the DNA... I don't remember what was wrong with it.

Go with Samsung. The dev support is top notch. Plus I'm not sure about the rest of the Xperia line but flashing kernels and roms on pretty much any phone other than the Xperia Play has been so much easier since it can all be done through recovery. Keep the Play for emulators and stuff though. That gamepad is hard to give up even for a nicer screen.

I buy phones out right, and then go on a sim-only contract.
Having phones as part of the contract ends up costing a fortune in the long run.
My contract currently is 350 mins, unlimited texts and unlimited internet. All for £7.80 a month from T-Mobile.
You'd never get anything even remotely close to that if a good phone was thrown in as well. ><
Not the xperia ion lol dont get it its so buggy jellybean should fix that hopefully

If your planning on sticking with Verizon, choose a RAZR M or HD/MAXX HD

Motorola locks the bootloader on their phones, which in turn kills dev support. Seeing my friend go past 2 days without a charge on his MAXX makes me jealous though.

Sure, they release their kernel sources pretty quickly, but their dev support isn't the best, for one they still haven't given us the Exynos Sources, So CM10.1 speed isn't the best, not by a long shot, I would say Google gives the best support, end of, if you want good dev support, Nexus 4, if you want a device with almost everything thats brilliant, Galaxy S3 (Camera, Screen, size, design, etc).
Galaxy Nexus. Dev support is awesome. Razr M /HD has very little dev support.
EDIT
Sorry, forgot that they don't sell Galaxy Nexus anymore. So Galaxy S3 or wait for the S4

Thanks for all the insight. I decided on the RAZR M. Seems to be a pretty solid device. Actually the first phone I've had that I didn't want to root for one reason or another inside of the 1st hour of using it. I'm sure that will change down the road The S3 S4 are just too big for my liking. Wish the Galaxy Nexus was still available and there would have been no question.

There's this sweet phone out called the Xperia Play. It has a slide out gamepad made for gaming.
You should get that one.
I don't know why I did this, I have a pretty awesome phone already
