Not really of much use here, as the TMo Note will be using a Snapdragon CPU rather than an Exynos, making it more like the AT&T I717 Note than the N7000.

If I am correct, T-Mobile US released the HTC HD2 with some months of delay but the biggest bonus of that wait to customers was that they added more ram + 16gb sd card compared to the international version.
Now if their version of the Note is similar to the At&T, then I can't understand their strategy behind this release. I'm curious to see the official specs for their version of the Note.
T-mobile is fast!

Given that the Note II is likely to be announced and released in a couple of months, I don't see any point in releasing this model at all!

Not necessarily . Now with rumors ( I know) stating anywhere from a late August to late October release for Note 2, which I tend to believe based on 1 yr release trends of cell phone sequals, it seems that way for us tech freaks, but for the average consumer who doesn't care about xda, cpus, or rooting, they will love the OG note on T-Mobile.
Just my opinion

Nope.
Eww, and an S3 chip? Sounds like they're just getting rid of AT&T's stock.
We are destined to use the freaking EDGE. I'm fine with the 30kb/s download(I get around 256 kbs/s connection) You still can use internet, check email, read news, etc. But when it comes to Google navigation or searching for a location in Google maps, 256 drives me nuts....

I have the i9500 variant and my friend who has a note 2 asked if I wanted to trade. I know Note 3 is very near so even if I get the Note 2 I'd have to sell it instantly. I am on vacation in India and checked the prices.
Galaxy S4's, new ones cost about 35,000INR. Used ones sell for about 30,000INR.
Note 2's sell for 31,000INR. Used Note 2's sell at about 18,000INR.
I checked how iPhone was doing and saw.
iPhone 4S 16GB, new costs about 25,000 and used costs 20,000.
iPhone 4 16GB, new costs about 37,000INR and used for about 35,000INR.
So I am in a dilemma. I have about $60 worth of accessories with my S4 which I'd obviously giveaway. I do not wanna invest 10,000 more and buy a current highend device. I am eyeing the Xperia Z and Xperia Z Ultra but they say the display isn't nice. And Sony resale/support isn't good. HTC One is nice too but I think its expensive and HTC isn't good with updates.
So what should I do? How much should I sell my Galaxy S4 for? My friends offering me the Note 2 AND 15,000INR. So can anyone tell me how much would a 2 month old used Note 2 sell for?
Should I do it? If so, what should I replace my S4 with. I am thinking to get iPhone 4S and wait till Note 3 is out and sell iPhone 4S for Note 3.
I chose Apple cause they have good resale prices. I am thinking about getting the Nexus 4 too.. are their resale prices good too? betting on Nexus is risky as Google does price cuts wayyy often and there hasn't been a new Nexus in a while.
I need a good temporary phone that will sell well in about 3-4 months.
Opinions?
Note 2 is a bit of a niche phone. A lot of people can't deal with the size so obviously the s4 will have better resale value.
Unless there is a reason you don't want the s4 anymore then I'd just stick with that.
-- Sent from the mighty Note 2 --
If i were you, id stick to my S 4 till the note 3's up for grabs.price wise, i see the galaxy s 4 price is still high tho it was released few months ago.But its your call mate, decide what suits you best.
I guess I'll keep S4. Note 2 internals are bad too... but for some reason it is tempting.
I do love my S4 though.
Silentrazor why are you even comparing prices? If you have issues with your phone cool.. Why sell your high spec phone for older tech?

Note 2 internals are not bad they are just not as good as the s4. I do understand why you are tempted ... I have both phones and am finding it hard to sell one of them as they are both great. At the end of the day though the s4 is much more popular and will be easier to recuperate money on later.
-- Sent from the mighty Note 2 --
As long as it gives you what you need... Theres no reason to change your phone...
I would definitely keep the S4. It's a fine device.
Weird that the iPhone 4s sells for less than the 4. Or maybe you got it the other way round.
But anyway, if you like the note 2 it wouldn't be such a bad idea considering he's also paying you cash on top. Personally I prefer the S4 and wouldn't trade for any available phone.

If you think the bigger screen and longer lasting battery is worth, it then go for it. But remember the note has a weaker camera and isn't full 1080p HD

Wait for the Nexus 5, if its anything like the LG G2 looks and the same specs it will be the hottest device around running KLP.
I think you should keep S4 till the next generation. Think about it, you're changing your phone within less than a year!! S4 is still a beast device, so why not hold up with it a little more? I bet your warranty (if not rooted/unlocked) is still there!! Do you want my advice?
Wait for Note IV or something like this
Your device can still keep up with current generation and even further
Also, if you're really going to buy the Note III, sell the device to your friend, get a 50$ cheap one, and then buy the Note III! I think it's better than investing in a good phone and selling it later.

I will definitely keep my S4 and will go for Note III when it is launched,
Price of note 2 will drop again when note III is released, so better to stick with your S4 mate
S4 is a Good choice for now my friend Note 2 will loose it's charm once note 3 is released btw in bangalore india it's available at 27500 inr with bill :thumbup:

I feel it's not viable because of the high price.. in India is quoted at Rs.49990 nearly 800 USD .UNLOCKED... way too expensive... think Samsung has got the pricing absolutely wrong this time... 40k should have made me think off an upgrade.....

It depends on whether it has features which one really needs and which cannot be found on NoteII. Maybe you look at it from that angle.
Just wait till its available (25Th September on wards), 49900/- is the MRP should be available or around 47.5k give it lill more time till October end and u should be able ti buy it for 42/43k, most of the online store are selling sony Z1 for 43k where as its available for 40700/- locally.
Personally I won't be updating this time around. The only features which really grabbed me are the new note taking ones but I don't even use my note 2 for that. I have a note 8.0 which is much better for the purpose. Phone calls, texting and email work just fine on the note 2 and battery life is great so no reason to upgrade until note 4.
Sent from my GT-N7100
No. Maybe N5 or N6. I have my N2 for 6 months.
No , going to Note 4 or S 5
No, Note at All
Actually I am very happy with note 2.
Who will go for 49000 INR mobile phone.
Rather I may buy another Note 2 for my wife because I can get it at 28000 INR only.
Practically there is no app in the Google Play that could not be run perfectly on Note 2
I was going to but my dad just got an s4 and I've been setting it up for him. And honestly most of the new features are pointless and possible battery hogs.
Granted there's 1 or 2 i would like. But unless I can get it for say 50 quid plus my phone? I don't see the point.

That's just the launch date price and in store price. I buy my phones off of Amazon.es, since I'm here in Spain. They go down in price really quickly. The note 2 was 700 euros when it launched last year, in October (mid october) I bought it online for 540. Which is 160 euros off the list price in stores. 8 months later in store it was still 700 euros.
I think stores have to get more competitive or else they will lose more clients. I can't beat lower prices, free 2-3 day shipping and being able to buy stuff from home. I still go out and buy stuff, but really expensive stuff is a lot cheaper online. I found my current house thanks to a listing online! haha.
Back to the topic: I am thinking of the Note 3 as an update to my Note 2, but not this month or maybe even next. November? December? January? I love my Note 2. But I am also eyeing the Sony Xperia Z1 as well was waiting for the Nexus 5. After we get some proper reviews I'll think about it. But I honestly think that 550 is a good deal for the Note 3. I refuse to pay more than 550 for any mobile phone (unlocked of course). So just wait a few days or weeks or maybe even a month and you'll see the price drop quickly, especially online due to competition with other online retailers.
So... Are you going to buy it ?
For battery the LG g2 is also nice!

Just wait for the JB 4.3 update for your Note 2....then you will have a note 3...except for the tacky plastic simulated leather case. Admittedly, it may not run as fast as the Note 3....but it will do everything the note 3 can do....why waste your money if you have a N2?:fingers-crossed:

and then of topic the galaxy gear, do i need it? no.. do i want it? yes.. but both gear and note 3 prices were out today in finland so the note 3 will go for 750€ and the gear for 350€ and that is just too much for me , so will have to wait and hope the prices will drop fast
What and why Samsung you do this?
Until thill now we wait and was happy for new flagship release but now Samsung you just counthing money and sold phone?!
When you release few years ago phone they have new function and beaty now older phone have more choise then new.
When you see Note 4 vs Note 5 you will see more on Note 4 then on Note 5,small difference between this brothers.
I have S1,2,3,4 and then I go on Note line but after Note 5 I ask my self what now to buy when change Note 4???
#OFFICIAL No Note 5 for Europe,one more dissapoiting.
Best regards guys!!!
3000mah battery!!!! Samsung better fire som people!
Well . Thanks samsung for loosing a dedicated costumer!

For me bigest dissapoiting is displey 518 ppi note 4 515 ppi and battery 3000mah note 4 3200mah,Samsung going down,self touchdown,NOCKOUT.
LG 4 pro looks interesting... They compared to iPhone 6 plus... Which has more memory and with the new iPhone coming out apple could kill Samsung.... And iPhone updates are way faster.. Goodbye Samsung or or may keep my note 4 for another year by then I may get update to 5.1.1...and they thanked loyal fans.... And they listened to what we want?
I agree man
Samsung please leave glass................ use metal or plastic but leave glass
I noticed that for the first time there is no difference in design or materials used for building both the Galaxy S6 & Note 5, same design & same stupid glass.
look to the design of S4 & Note 3 ........... there is a difference
S5 & Note 4 ........... there is a difference
This year I think Samsung missed & made such a stupid step back & it will cost Samsung a lot
Say No For Glass
Agree but Samsung made too many mistakes now like battery etc

Probably not a rare piece, but it just makes the Note 5's value proposition look that much worse!
Note 4s are going for about $300-400 right now and do a whole lot more despite being last year's model; why not just keep buying them? Perhaps Samsung will get the hint when last year's model outsells this year's model by a significant margin.
As for me, I'm not even going to sell mine; I'll just keep rocking it 'til it dies.

You said it.
Suggest Samsung should come up with 3 Note models every year and deliberately tag them officially as below:
Samsung Note Classic
Samsung Note Sheep
Samsung Note Floosy Edge
Never change the Classic model on the core features, yes improve and evolve the design.
For Sheep and Floosy variants, go and fsck yourself and do whatever it takes to keep the drunk suites happy.
If they wanted to carry experiments, they should have done on edge version only. Damn why they don,t realize that note users want bigger battery n microsd.

Agree with this thread. I have had the note 2, 3, and just bought the 4. Bought the note 4 only because of what they were doing with the 5. Unless they get rid of the glass back I won't buy another one. I love my note phones but don't like the direction they are going now with glass back, non removable battery, and no SD card. If they wanted something premium seems like they could have gone with leather like LG or some other premium material that would at least let the back be removable.
Interested in the LG g4 pro but the display in their LG line doesn't seem to be as vibrant as Samsung's but will have to see what it looks like when it comes out. BUT for now will enjoy my note 4 as long as I can.

Hey Guys
Note 5 is now official and many of us are excited to get it in hands inspire of some of its short comings specially likeno SD card
But its a gorgeous device and a must have for phone lovers like me
Let's discuss its availability in India pricing etc
As per some review s it won't be available in UK but in US and Asian markets and I am quite sure Samsung will release it in India after all they got lots of their fans here specially for note 5
