22k with 5 months warranty left. White colour.
I think its good value once samsung already slashed price for new.
Mine is also offered for 23k (purchased in Nov11).
though i get some extra benefit in purchase/sell just b'coz mine place is very small and have personal relation with samsung dealer. I think will get note2 in few days too.(@ DP)
But still not decided to sell or not , as I wish my daughter keep note with her instead she wants SGS2. So my experiments on Note still continue.
for now i will stick to note 1 will wait till note 3 comes into market..

My reception was terrible, and kept having 1-2 bars, skipping between h+ and g. drained ~50% in ~7 hours with moderate usage (checking messages every 10 minutes or so, couple phone calls, about 30 minutes of video and about an hour worth of trying to browse the net with the messed up reception).

I guess you need to calibrate your battery and try to monitor out again.
This works on N7000 don't know if it work on Note 2.

Glad to hear battery life improved significantly.
Switching from big to small not a problem for me, as i switched from Nokia 3310 to 8210 happily. Lol...
Joke aside, that's the con of note. Difficult to switch back to smaller size.

I know this sounds like a fanboy comment, but in all honesty, the note 2 is the greatest phone ever. Like what michael Jordan is to basketball.
It has double the battery life (if not more), better screen, much smoother, better SPEN with a working handwriting. I hated the aspect ratio change at first but it's starting to grow on me. Besides, being thinner makes it "alot" easier to hold.
Edit: One more thing, No BLACK CRUSH/CLIPPING

Completely agree wih all of the above. Best phone I've ever had, a nice upgrade from my note1.Ive been using smartphones since the first kyocera phone/palm combination in the early 90s. First phone I've had in last 3-4 years, including a brief iphone stint, that I didnt feel after a couple weeks that I'd entertain an upgrade in 6 mos if something better came along. Really nothing of any significance lacking on this phone.
battery life is insane, performance is stellar, running jellybean, specs to the roof, big a$$ screen, BATTERY LIFE AGAIn cause its really impresive.
totally worthy...
its truly a next gen device.
much better sound.
much better battery life...
grearer screen
an accurate s pen unlike Note 1.
even b8gger screen.
16:9 ratio to make it EASY to hold....
i could just keep going xS
I was going to upgrade for sure from my international note 1 as soon as at&t launched the Note 2, but now that I flashed jellybean the Note 1 feels like a whole new phone! Jellybean in its self is an upgrade! I will try to hold out as long as it can but as everyone here states, it seems the Note 2 is a beast of a phone.... So I guess I'll have to see if I can resist when I actually touch the device! But seriously if you have the international Note 1 definitely try jellybean.... You won't be disappointed!

Wow.. thanks for the reply's... now I really can't wait. I'm using Straight Talk/Att Sim right now in an At&t Note. It's tough knowing I could walk into Tmobile tomorrow and grab one for $650 and unlock it and use it. My only problem is I'm wondering if I'll be better off with the At&t version.. for coverage reasons.. I'll have to check out radio frequency's and how easy it is to unlock the tmobile version. I figure I'll get about 300 for original Note and I'm gonna sell my Nexus 7 since I almost always reach for my Note first, should get 175 or more out of that then it'll only be 150-200 out of pocket! can't wait..

Oh, hey thanks. Sorry about that. Nothing was being advertised and I also complied with the forum guidelines thread, so I thought it would be helpful and OK. Can you advise if there's any policy against using the image of Malaysia's Celcom logo as a user's "MORE INFO"?
So, will you?
Its a nexus device so development will be strong there, as well as timelyGoogle updates vs large screen and stylus and touchwiz?
True HD IPS vs RGB super AMOLED
Quad core snapdragon vs quad core Exynos 4
How is this "Speculation"?

Also the display isn't "true" HD, it's 720P, not 1080p and both use RGB and not RGBG (Pentile).

Well,its a matter of perspective...
Just my opinion, nexus 4's snapdragon is much faster than exynos 4. .just saying
seems a little disappointing from the reviews. Was expecting the bechmarks to match that of the optimus g since its built really similar to it and share similar internals. Still a great phone for the price, but wont touch the note 2.
hmm.. where are the benchmarks that say it doesn't match the optimus g? was actually thinking of buying this for someone as a xmas gift..

I have a Galaxy Nexus and I will check 4.2 on it. Not missing original Android at all.
Smaller screen with huge on-screen buttons making it even smaller...
Many homemade roms and kernels that dont bring a lot besides gadgetry and bugs.
No Sd card, no replaceable battery, unproven build quality.
The longer the list the better the Note 2 is looking.
I guess yeah if you are into going from one buggy rom or kernel to another one every two days maybe you need a Nexus 4 for that.
Good homemade roms/kernels can be counted on the fingers of one hand for each phone.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
Engadget claims that the battery of the Nexus 4 is half the battery of the optimus g and phone arena already stated that the note 2 has double the battery of the optimus g. So the answer is no, I don't want to downgrade from 8h of screen on time to just 2 or 3 hours.

www.engadget.com/2012/11/02/nexus-4-review/
checkout the performance and battery details..no where as good as our beast!
To all those people sagging about the performance and battery life issues, the reviewers had test units with totally beta software. in the review of the verge the device is even seen to have a software update available which hasn't been activated.
So:that's not an issue. the hardware is quad core snapdragon and 2GB ram, same as on lg optimus g,which is a beast in performance and battery life, and that's on ice cream sandwich!
Until then, take these reviews with a cup of salt

I had the note 2 previously i miss the battery life & the size of the screen it's great for watching movies/shows.

If you've already waited this long hold out for the note 3 see what they do with it.

This is the thing..
Well, in the last two weeks I found the note's size quite annoying, and this is the main reason why I am thinking about replacing it..
And what do you think on this upgrade? Is the s4 better? What are the advantages of the s4 vs. The note 2?

If this is the reason then dont even think more. Just upgrade to s4! Personally, the main reason I don't use a note 2 is size and thickness. 5 inch personally is the sweet spot for me. The screen is big while still easy to hold in hand. Specially when your hand muscles get used to the s4 after a week or so, You'll also agree that this device form factor is perfect.
On the other hand:
If dependant on note exclusive features like Spen or Great battery life, then you will definitely miss those. Just keep that in mind.

My Advice
Sell the N2 for a Good Price
Buy the S4 for a Good Price
a few months later.....................
Sell the S4 for a Great Price and Get the N3 (Second Hand value N2 vs S4, S4 will always be Higher)
Best tactic is to trade note 2 for iphone 5 then either sell it for 500 unlocked or just find somebody that wants to do straight trade for s4.

In daily usage S4 for sure, much more hands friends but keeping a big screen.
Note 2 screen size is a great advantage
Note 2 screen size is a great disadvantage.
Great robust but once you have a fairly sturdy case on it was just too big for me.
Battery life not so good on the s4 but the screen size is a compromise between the smaller HTC One and the Note.
No regrets in swapping so far.

where i come from samsung is not holding its price well. so for 6 months used S4 you wont get enough money, or even close to buy N3.
I have 3 device in my hand. 1st one samsung Galaxy s4, Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and Samsung Galaxy R. Didn't even think to switch when u hace 5.5 inch screen at one hand and the fastest processor in S4 with official Cm10.1 support in Galaxy R.
