i know these two tab are very different due to the size and os but i am stuck between buying either one. i would like the flyer because its portable, fits in my pocket on the go and is easier to manage when in public. but i feel the flyer is not worth its price, its basically outdated due to the fact that its single core and it runs on 2.3 not honey comb. so i am afraid it will crash often like the tab 7 use to do to me. i would love the galaxy tab 10.1 i already seem what samsung did with the tab 7 so i cant imagine how much better this can be. i would love honey comb seem to be very stable and smooth running on dual proccessors. my only one con is that i think its big and yes i have read else where that 10.1 will only be good for couch surfing or home.
so what should i do portabilty, gps, can take it to work and not be in my way, or 10.1 tab
Good questions. I bought my Tab last Friday and I can tell you that it's not too big. Yes it's bigger than a kindle or nook, but because it's so thin and light, it's not overbearing. I've been using it on my train ride to work and my hand doesn't get tired. I think you'll be okay. It's definitely a nice piece of hardware.
If you are not in a rush to purchase a tablet, then wait for the 8.9 to be released.
I bought the Flyer and took it back a few days later. In this day of Honeycomb, the Flyer really did feel like a big phone and that's about it. The $80 pen was a ripoff and not very useful since there are only 2 apps that worked with it.
I figured the Flyer with pen was $580, and 32gb Tab only $20 more, so picking mine up on Friday.

I returned my flyer as well. Nice but slow and the pen software isn't that great. In scribble mode the discard button is where I rest my wrist and I lost note after note because of that. Tool it back and pre ordered the Toshiba Thrive because I think the Tab 10.1 is a no go with no sd slot.

hands down IMO the galaxy tab is better than any other tab out there. If you're looking for something a bit more portable wait for the 8.9.
I have both of these. I have a HTC Flyer and a Google IO 10.1 Tab.
They are very different beasts.
In terms of stability and speed the Flyer really flys. I had no crashes, no performance slow down and its portable and has 3G built in. Yes it does feel like a big phone - it even lets you send text messages here in the UK but... it feels so much more stable than the tab.
The tab is much bigger and much thinner but it crashes and freezes more than the beta IOS5 on my iPad 2. It is really disappointing.
Both tablets show slow downs when orientation is changed but given the choice of only 1 of the 2 I would go with the flyer. Hands down.
Yes it is single core but it really isn't noticible, if anything the tab feels slower.
Of course the best tablet is still the iPad 2 in every aspect but not everyone can have all 3 tablets like me!
I thought the GT10.1 had GPS?
The Flyer is dreadfully overpriced in my opinion, especially to not even be running Honeycomb. I'd definitely pass on it and wait for the Tab 8.9.
Also: ^^ Yes, the GT 10.1 has GPS.

How is the iPad 2 the best tablet? Didn't see that coming LoL Of course it is not the best tablet.
Anyway, I agree that the flyer is a totally different tablet. I also have both. I use the flyer for on the road, as my PIM and for note taking (love that) and the Galaxy Tab for all other things. Have hardly had any problems with the 10.1(v) . But then again, I mainly use the built-in apps.
the tab is a great piece of hardware held back by a very young os. Right now the flyer is a better choice, but in a month it might be a totally different story.
hey guys,
from your own experiences, do you think it's worth it to own both devices?
i already have a Galaxy Note... should i pick up a 7.7? (i've wanted one since september lol)
let me hear your thoughts!
I have both. I use the note mostly when i need to go to places where i need a device that fits my jeans pocket. other than that i use the 7.7 both as my phone and mobile internet device even though i have to admit, i wish they would have made it a 7'' instead of 7.7''.
For me 7.7 is perfect, it is better than 7 ^^
@Kibosh
"I think" you should buy it otherwise you'll never stop wanting it lol.

I'm in your same sitution and i'm also thinking what to do
I have both devices as well. As it stands, I use my 7.7 to majority of the time, mainly because I feel that the Note is really held back by Gingerbread in terms or truly harnessing its power and taking full advantage of its capabilities.
Perhaps it might help you to have a read through of my 7.7 vs Note comparison
I don't want to sell Note for 7.7, i want Note AND 7.7 because i want to use Note outdoors and 7.7 at home but i think they are similar in size and don't know if it's right to have both!

I have the Note but Im returning it due to the screen defects but if it were in a better circumstance id have both note and tab 7.7, one for mobile and one for home use.
I have the Gnote and the 7.7 is on order...
I am also betting that the 6800 will fit in my front pocket just as well as my old P1000 did.
Intend to.enjoy both devices....
I don't use my phone much, and I don't like it's coarse resolution (Skyrocket). I live in an LTE area (20K down, 8K up, so not full speed, but good enough), so I'm thorn between the ATT Note or the International version. Speed vs XDA support.
Or maybe I should just keep the skyrocketas a dumb phone and use the 7.7 as my main mobile reader/browser? Decisions...

One thing both the Note and Skyrocket (and the Skyrocket is pretty awesome in my opinion, lower resolution notwithstanding) have over the 7.7 is the camera. The 7.7 has a really crappy camera and is really the only major disappointment I've had with the device. Granted, most people don't do much more than casual social media uploading with tablet cameras, but with the smaller 7.7 some people may want to use it as their all-in-one device so it's a shortcoming.
traded my beloved note to a dealer for the 7.7 as I justified it would be more appropriate given my usage pattern which includes significant travel, lots of donut shop time, high data consumption, and and very little phone calls. I figured giving up a phone wouldn't be difficult with 7.7 and bluetooth headset.
After a few days I feel naked without a real pocketable phone even though my 7.7 is always with me. I had to start carrying around my very old g1 as a temporary. If you can afford both, but it's a nice pair to have.
That said, with the 7.7 now I will unlikely buy a new note as there is a lot of overlap in functionality. I'm eying an xperia ray to partner with it for its size and camera when needed.
I PM'ed this to Kibosh3 earlier:
It's definitely worth it if your aim is laptop replacement. For word processing and reading documents (especially complex ones with quality photos), the 7.7 is a huge improvement. The 7.7 can even be slipped into a front or back pocket when walking around so that you can keep it secure in public places. In fact, I've been bringing it in and out of my pocket in public places to read stuff on public transportation, but you have to be much more careful than with a regular phone. The only time I regret the 7.7 is it's much less practical to quickly whip it out of the pocket and put it back every second--to find out what time it is, nervously check messages, etc. If you absolutely MUST have that permanently convenient availablility (as in, you need to be on the phone all the time), you'd be sacrificing that comfort for the larger size, despite the 7.7's pocketworthiness. But unlike a full-size tablet, it is light enough to operate comfortably for an extended period. And it's easier on the neck to read than a little phone because it stands tall when I put it in my Note's spare battery charger/stand.
...Galaxy 7.7, via tapatalk
I do this too (checking the time often). But I never use the smartphone for this. I have a watch.
sorry if i revived this thread again. but i need help too regarding this matter.
i just sold my iPad 64GB, so i have money to spend. i have a galaxy note here though. my question is... what should i get? should i get the new ipad, iphone 4S or the galaxy tab 7.7?
things that my note can do:
- call, text, browse the web, download youtube videos
what it can't do:
- video call through YM (beta version has a lot of bugs, need YM cause most of my relatives uses YM)
what it barely does:
- type documents (too small for me)
- battery life.. lasts only like 7-9hours unlike Apple products
what i need:
- something with good battery life
- call and sms capabilities (7.7 seems good here)
- very good video experience (new ipad or 7.7 here)
- portability (iphone 4S seems good)
torn between these devices appreciate the help friends!
Galaxy note might qualify when it comes to portability. Ipad I guess is a good choice since it has a longer battery life than 7.7 and the P6800 and galaxy note has identical features. Video feature is better too. :-D

exactly why i am torn between these devices hehe
if i get new ipad:
- can only get the 16GB version
- nice screen
- big screen
- no 3G
- hard to lug around
if i get the 7.7:
- can get the 16GB (also have a stagnant 16GB microSD at home)
- nice screen
- call and sms function
- kinda portable
- not-as-good-as-ipad document maker (iWorks is awesome and there is the official MS Office already for apple)
oh man.. think i should save my money and spend it on other things instead (like food, clothing hahaha)?
Google docs or Polaris office not enough for you. With bletooth keyboard and stand you can satisfy most of the "office tool needs". Ics helps here greatly as well...

i don't know, maybe it's just me liking the smooth official MS Office and the iWorks from iPad. downside for apple is its really restricted unlike android. but yeah i'm open to things. i'll try fiddling with Polaris right now hehe. thanks for the reply sir! keep the advices coming people! :good:
EDIT: ok i tinkered with Polaris already. yet to see Google Docs. hmm.. maybe the smoothness of iOS is just getting to me. *shrugs it off* another factor could be that everyone in my family (except me) uses Apple iPads.. i'm the only one who doesn't have facetime and imessage. tried to convince them to use Skype so i could join the fun. will read more about these products (still tempted by the 7.7 though). been reading for 2months already!

Just got a Galaxy SIII as an upgrade and sold it on Amazon (only online for 30 mins) so I've got £450 sitting in the bank waiting for the Galaxy Note 10.1 to ship.
Do I keep my "Baby" note as a phone and run it alongside the 10.1 or downgrade to a Nexus S or similar?
The Note 10.1 has both the features I value most on the baby Note: S-Pen and big screen.
What would you do?
I plan on getting the note 10 next to the note 5
I think that both Notes are different devices. Having both beats the purpose. The original Note fits both phone and tablet worlds. The new 10" Note will not work as good as a phone.
In other words, both devices are for different market niches.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
I'm planning on having both as I use it heavily for work, especially note taking. I will probably use the 10" one in the Office and the 5" for when I travel to different locations.
Any idea when Sammy are going to release the damn thing?

If you have a pc / laptop in the office you won't need a tablet, just my opinion.
Ok, i have a 10" tablet (before the note came) and i have a note. I take a lot of notes and work with plenty of docs. I must say that when i'm on the move i use my note for everything but when i'm at work or home i use my laptop. No need for a tablet... Untill now the tablet is "resting" in the hands of my wife and daughter since i don't need it for now.
Just to make life simpler: when i'm working at home or work i have my note plugged in and use the things i wrote before. No problems here.
Hope that it helps you in making a decision, 450$ in the bank is always welcome for a rainy day..........

That maybe true for some, I tend to make a lot of handwritten notes as I feel more comfortable this way. The note taking is just one of my main uses however, when I am at home I like to use a tablet for browsing etc especially when lying in bed, it's more comfortable than using a laptop and the battery lasts a lot longer.
I also read a lot of PDF documents that I annotate, for this I would prefer the larger display and the s pen. I am currently using the Asus transformer for this but a friend of mine will be buying this off me when I get the 10.1 note so hopefully won't be paying the full whack for it.
The attraction for me is all that space to write notes and see a page full at a glance without scrolling around. I've been using Lecture Notes for a week or so and it's perfect for my needs if only the screen were bigger. I wouldn't type on a laptop in a customer meeting as it would be inappropriate but writing on a screen is unobtrusive and feels natural.

Having purchased 7 different tablets and 3 different phones in the last year, I can say that the note is the perfect device. I do still have a 10 inch tablet but rarely use it now.
The note is a great phone and a great everyday tablet. I tried lugging around a 7 inch tablet, but the reality is that it is still too cumbersome.
You should find a tablet you like and stick with the note imo.
You won't find a device this portable and powerful.
The only other device that makes sense is the padfone.
Good luck.

Both. I love my current Note as a phone.
I often use my Tab 10.1 when I want a tablet - the Note 10.1 is the first device with the potential for making me want to ditch it.
Is a separate cell necessary?
Would it be possible to use a bluetooth-enabled headset with the Note 10.1 to make calls? In other words, do you really have to have a separate cell device? Does any major carrier support cell service on a pad?
I know the Note 10.1 isn't near as portable as a cell phone, but, I rarely go anywhere without a bag, and I really like the idea of having a device like the note easily available. It seems a bit redundant to have both the pad and the phone (especially for the cost).

Can't imagine carrying a 10" tablet everywhere. The idea of the Asus Padfone sounds good but it seems from recent reviews that it's not that good in it's initial offering.

You should see my kids. They carry their laptops everywhere they go.
The Note 10.1 is going to be absolutely brilliant with the pen. Even the 5.3 Note is not bad and some of the new feature like Formula Match are really nifty. Imagine all that on a 10.1 device. I hope Samsung pushes the software hard and makes paid versions of their S-Memo and S-Note apps with more features while still keeping pre-installed free versions. I think there is a huge potential for domain-specific apps with pen-support for maths, photo-editing, diagrams etc.
Despite all this I will probably hold out for Windows 8 convertible tablets. What I really want is something like the Samsung Hybrid, recently announced at Computex, which works as a regular Windows laptop and also a removable tablet with pen support. This could be the machine I have been dreaming about for years.
Depends on your needs. I hate carrying two devices with me so my Note is a phone and a tablet for me. But if you have no problem with carrying 10" device with you, then get a smaller phone, you probably won't need 5,3" screen when you have 10" one right beside.
You shoud be able to do this as long as Note 10.1 enables this function, it's not related to the carrier. Take the HTC Flyer as an example, HTC seals its function as a phone, but developers bring this function back in the custom ROM.

I would probably switch the baby note for an S3, the main reason i got the note was to be able to read ebooks on confortable screen, having 10.1 would cover that aspect, so i could get back to using my smartphone confortably with only one hand
I'm going to wait for the Windows 8 Tablets. Samsung already do the Slate, but with Win 7.
Something similar, but lower cost and maybe 10.1 inch would suite me. Having Office etc. make it better for work and I still have Note for when on the move.
It does depend on how good and how expensive the Windows 8 Tablets are, when they start coming out...
Zuber
I think a win8 pro tablet with stylus and Onenote is simply too much for the note 10.1, and the possibility of launching desktop programs like ansys and catia is a deal breaker for me ( engineer student)

Hey guys,
I'm thinking of buying a Note 10.1 with the Note 2 in my pocket I find it useful and fun to use, and I perfect selecting text etc with the S-Pen.
However I've got some reservations. I've looked at one 3 times (I know WTF am I doing?) and I've been resitant on buying one as all of them are running 4.0.4 and I'll be honest I found it a bit clonky, and not as rapid as the Note 2.
Now with mention of a possible GT-N8200 which is a possible successor to the N8000 is it wise to buy one? with rumors of the Nexus 10 screen, an updated spec and possible S-Pen improvements I'd hate to buy one and the N8200 pop up 2 months later. One of my reasons for such hesitations is there £379 here in the UK and haven't really dropped in price since there introduction is this because there isn't a replacement or are they just expensive,
When there is the likes of the Tab2 for £265 and the Nexus10 £319 While neither offer the S-Pen I found all in store demonstration models on 4.0.4 are quite laggy and not responsive enough with the S-Pen detection being too slow to realistically use it for drawing I'm finding it difficult to spend more when the S-Pen doesn't seem to work in a way where i'll actually use it.
Can anyone give me a unbiased opinion on how well it works, I know this is the forum for it, but I'm hoping you guys and gals will be able to tell me how it is, as in store demonstrations don't make me want to part with the cash and buying one blind without trying the 4.1.2 up date is financial suicide imho.
TIA
Luke.

so I have only had one tablet, this one and I bought it a couple days after its release. the 4.1.2 update definitely improved just about everything for me. ~10 hours per charge, another after the update, and expanded multi window. I understand your reservations about buying now and having a newer model. The display isn't good enough for some, and adequate for others look for the nexus 10 vs. note 10.1 thread, it is debated ad nauseam. perhaps is because my eyes are beginning to fail me somewhat but the screen works fine for me. keep in mind higher resolution requires more battery and cpu usage. fwiw, this note was announced Feb 2012. and took 6 more months to be released. my honest opinion, you won't see the next note 10.1 till July- August time frame. that's my gut feeling.
I find the s pen to be plenty responsive, there is a thread with art work done in the note 10.1 and I'm amazed at what people create.
Like I said I have only used this tablet and have never regretted my choice. my advice would be to peruse some of the threads reporting problems, but honestly there don't seem to be as many of those threads as opposed to some devices.
don't trust the store displays, watch some you tube videos, I always have power saving on and it never slows down.
good luck!
Please don't trust a unit in the store! When I went to worst buy to play with 1 the screen was covered in jelly lol. I love mine & could care less about retina displays. Whenn they come out with the note 10.1 2 I will buy it but until then I'm happy with my purchase. There will always something else newer coming out when you buy a tablet. Hell I bought the galaxy note 2 & now they already talking about the galaxy note 3

Thank you for taking the time to give me an idea what the Note is like.
I will go get one based on this new information, I really wish stores would update the devices they sell as Jellybean seems to have transformed the Note by what I can see, meanwhile the general public see them and obviously prefer the iPad, is it any wonder when some of the Android devices are running so badly.
Even on ICS I was impressed at what this baby could do compared to my old transformer prime. Jellybean has turned this baby into a multitasking beast! Thank god I didn't get the Microsoft surface. Lastly the speakers on the front of the tablet is something I've been hoping a company would do forever. There's nothing worse than having to cup your hands at the back of your tablet to get the sound to fire in your direction

I love my 10.1. I did however buy a different stylus (the Wacom Bamboo feel) because writing with the original stylus can be a little awkward due to its size and shape (for me, anyway). But for school, it's been a great alternative to carrying around multiple notebooks, and I can use my Note II hotspot to easily connect to the internet when not near a router.
I think the note 10 is the most underrated tab around, I had the original n7000 and this is considerably quicker, I even like the touch wiz implementation (mostly) on it, something I never thought I'd say...
It also made me realise I didnt really need a phone with an spen, as I used this one 100x more than the note one.
Use it for drawing all the time would like a higher res screen though.
They have been reduced btw, argos were selling them cheaper, and Samsung were doing a rebate on top of that for uk purchases.
Check old hotukdeals.com topics for those.
Not sure when I'm down in London next, other wise I'd say you're welcome to try mine out,

Please dont listen to these bad reviews written by apple twats. If your in the market for a 10in tablet. You will love this

Have to totally agree as well. Was about to get the Nexus 10 but I am really happy to get the Note 10.1. And the screen size and quality is more than fine for me...
This is the first time i have really used a tablet for my various hobbies. The Spen magic is great as well.
I just wish we get the Android updates for multiuser feature and bluetooth 4 LE support
i can't live without this tablet, take it everywhere i go i love the note series.
yeah, love it so much, and now, i'm running on ReVolt ROM and love it much more ^^
I completely ignored the reviews about the note 10.1, so many complaints about the screen being poor etc, what a load of tosh that is, there's bugger all wrong with it imo. I picked the note 10.1 over the nexus 10 and I don't regret that decision one bit!

Snagged mine on eBay for £204 about 3 months ago, it's everything I need in a tablet.... I came from the tab 7.7 with the amoled screen which was lovely but still prefer the note 10.1 as more horsepower and bigger screen = happy gingerdude + with my note 2 gives me everything on the go.
To those who say screen is poor, try it for yourself is more than ok.

What a great device. And its a shame that some people maybe put off by the some of the pathetic reviews ive read on this device. Its stunning.
My s4 is faster. Higher res screen etc. But when it comes to browsing video etc theres no substitute for real estate.
Please dont listen to these bad reviews written by apple twats. If your in the market for a 10in tablet. You will love this

Couldn't agree more... just got my Note 10.1 a few weeks back - had been debating upgrading my original Tab 10.1 for a N10. I'm so happy I didn't - not sure where most of the bad reviews come from: screen is fantastic, the device is super-responsive, feels great in the hand and well-built, expandable memory (running a 64GB card in my 32GB Note = all the space I could ask for) - and for someone that uses his tablet like a notebook, the pen is fantastic to work with... Highly recommended. :victory:
What would make this Tablet permanently on my person, is if it could Seperate into 2, for portability. The 2nd half of the screen could serve as a giant battery, or the 2 halves could have Bluetooth link to each other, so you could do a lot of new things tablets can't do, for (a light-hearted) example , PORTABLE BATTLESHIP GAME SET! XD lol. Just think how creative Samsung could be, once they make those flexible displays commercially available. Also, when Google Glass becomes reasonably priced (I don't think King Midas could even afford it right now), I think some really awesome usage integration between one's glasses, computer, smartphone, and tablet, is inevitably going to be one of the driving catylsts in how commercially available tech will evolve/unfold.

About the screen: the only reason Samsung didn't make it on Par with competitors, is because they couldn't find any that could work well with the specialized Wacom digitizer (which is what makes the s-pen superior to a magic wand XD), while also being cost effective. It's a tradeoff that anyone who goes this tablet a fair try, wouldn't care less about. Friggin' Apple extremists think the iPad screen makes photos look better than looking at something in person with your own eyes. Lol.
Opposite for me. I got my S4 and now I use my tablet less. It's not because it's a bad tablet, it's just that it's easier to whip out the phone and browse sometimes. I use my tablet for lots of other important things though so it makes up for that..
i sold my gn10.1 a few months back to get the ativ 500t and 700t. there isn't a day that goes by that i don't miss it. i've almost bit the bullet a few times and gotten a refurb for $300 (i've seen the refurb 32 for ~$350). i really wanna wait to see if they come out with a bigger screen, but i really miss my gn10.1. i missed it so bad that i bought a gn8 to fill the gap that will be left after i sell my nook hd+.
it was the greatest tablet i've owned and thought i'd finally found one that i'd keep for more than a year. windows is great since i can play just about any format and have an alternate selection of games (can't say better b/c that's subjective) and i love the bigger screen. i do hate that windows desktop isn't very finger friendly and that modern ui sucks so badly.
maybe i'll cave it and get another. hopefully i can tame the desire and wait a few months to see how much the ativ q will be or how big the new galaxy note tablets will be.

I just got a Galaxy S4 about a week and a half ago. I find myself using both my Note 10.1 and S4 about equally but for different things, for productivity apps, such as the S-pen apps and office apps, the real estate of the 10.1 can't be beat. for speed, fast browsing and social apps I lean toward the S4. One note though, the S4 just came out with an update that lets you move apps to SDcard, which the 10.1 does not have (hopefully it will come in a future update), however this update locks the bootloaders so that the S4 then cannot be rooted (as of yet!).
Same here. Galaxy Note and S4. In many ways they compliment each other. S-notes automatically show up on S-memo (albeit read only) and reverse also. S4 is always there when Note is not practical. Note wins for meetings. S4 wins waiting for the airplane door to close, and riding in the car.
I even got the small point stylus (ikross brand) designed for the S4 and it works nicely.
In geek heaven here .
