I have been using the Note 1 for the past year & used the s-pen a lot.
But writing with the s-pen on the Note 2 is simply brilliant. Very smooth & super responsive. A huge upgrade from the Note 1 s-pen.
Well done Samsung!

Wish people would stick to the right forum, when posting, or maybe this is simply bragging "ohh lardy doo has a new phone that's newer than yours is", why don't you stick your spen up your nose and sing hurrah I'm a lumberjack, it would be a lot more interesting, now go away.

Thanks.I think I can get use to it.I had the note 1 but it was to laggy thats why I got rid of it.
Just that the screen looks a little bit sharper and punchier in S3 because of it's smaller screen.

Came from s3, after 2 months sold my s3 and went for the note2. Took me 3 days to get used to the size. Note 2 is like a super charged s3! Im lovin everythin on this thing!

I came from a GT-I9300 international white S3 to my GT-N7100 international titanium Note2.
The S3 was FAST, most of the time. There are still android stutters here and there, like with animations ect. Even after updating to the newest Jelly bean 4.1, it made the phone smoother especially scrolling in the browser but the micro stutters are still present.
The Note 2 is almost stutter free, (much better than the S3). It rivals the iOS in the 4S and 5 for smoothness in my opinion.
The battery life on the S3 was great, the Note 2 takes it to the next level.
I used to have the International Note 1 before my S3 and I never used the S-Pen because frankly it sucked and was a pain to use. It was inaccurate, not sensitive enough for writing or drawing well imho and was too small to feel comfortable in the hand. You literally had to press it up against the screen with a fair amount of pressure for it to register.
The S-Pen on the Note 2 is a million times better, no joke. I use it ALL THE TIME now. Browsing the web, scrolling through my song list, browsing my photos. It is such a joy to use that I always take it out and use it. It's that good! Writing with it feels natural and realistic.
I could go on and rave about it endlessly but I need to go back to work...
Is it worth it over the S3? Unquestionably. This thing is absolutely the best phone in the world and in my line of work, I have the pleasure of owning and using almost every high end android phone that comes out.
Im previously a user of Note 1..was thinking to get S3, but change my mind.. not because of the awesomeness of S3 feature SW and HW, but because the screen is small to me..what people are saying that u will never go back to small screen after get Note 1 was true..lol..so now Note 2 which im consider oversized of S3, had make my dream come true! U will never regret it, not until Note 3 come out of cause..lol

Yeah, the S3 isn't at all laggy. My partner has an S3 and it's on par with the Note 2. The Note 2 is slightly overclocked but I would NEVER say that the S3 is laggy. Ufff... haha.
I also came from an s3, I have zero regrets and will be selling the gs3.
I agree with others who disliked the launcher redraws and lack of ram.
love the note 2 screen, the stylus is great and the battery life is much better.
Overall all the benefits of the s3 but refined and improved. imho

Owning a sgs 3, considering buying note 2
I've heard from different sites very different opinions about the screen. Now I think it's better to ask someone who owned both devices, since theoretically note 2 screen should be better.
Someone says that s3 screen is sharper, is it true? And how it's it with the text sharpness and whites in reality?

How many people think that the Note 2 battery could have been a little bit better? Perhaps 3300mah to 3500mah? Same as the Droid Razor Max HD which gets close to 24hr battery. The note 2 gets about 13-15.

So basicly I wanted to see how many people came from the original note and upgraded to the note 2. Maybe even some people that came from the S3 since its nearly the same smartphone with a larger screen. Or if this is your first note
And maybe share your experience so far
I came from the S3. Loving the Note 2 especially the S-pen feature. At work I need to take notes so Ive set the Note 2 up that whenever I take the Spen out it automatically opens the S Memo so this is perfect for me. The faster processor and bigger screen makes browsing, playing games and watching videos better. I do find it slightly big to use as a phone but the pro's out weigh the cons. All is all I am very happy with it.

I'm seriously planning to buy a Note II and I currently own a Note I.
However, currently I see there are almost all new features that are available in Note II are now available for Note I (based on N7000XXLS7 rom update), will buying this now will really be a worthy upgrade?
Considering only on features and not on ROM Capacity , Processor type and clock speed?
Any comments would greatly appreciated.

While original note is an amazing phone, just for battery life is well worth the upgrade. I used to average 4 hrs of screen on time on my note but on note 2 i average 7 hrs. Throw in hardware upgrade and JB and its an easy decision.

Agree completely. If you like your note1, you'll love note2. I thought note1 was reall, really good. Note2 is the best phone I've ever laid hands on.
I think the upgrade is debateable.
I made the leap. The power, speed, camera, features,.. amazing.
The 1... is still good.

I wondered and thought about gn2 upgrade and thought it wasn't really worth it but still got it on 1st day it was released in the UK and so glad I did
Note 1 is was and still is a great phone but even with jb it still wont be as good as note2 only thing I could tell the difference was going to 16/9 screen I could telk it was just a bit narrower but after a few days soin forgot plus the screen on the gn2 soon made me forget
You wouldn't:thumbup: be disappointed

You won't regret the upgrade. Trust me. I've yet to hear a person who has regretted buying the note 2.
Having said that, the one disadvantage of the note 2 over the note 1 is the inability to move apps to sd card in the note 2.

How?
The thing you'll like best with the GN 2 is peace of mind. Forget about battery life, just use it... and use it... and use it again...
Battery Life

Narrower design is more pocketable - when i ride my motorcycle, i can't tell it's there.
overall- i'm happy with the upgrade over my old GN1
To be honest, I regret buying the note 1 and sold it after a month. However, note 2 is way better and think I am going to stick with it for a very long time. Best phone right now imoh. So go for it man.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
I'm finding the note 2 much easier to hold in 1 hand, and the speed is pretty awesome. Although I'm using cm10 so the rest if the Samsung features didn't really lure me in.

I'm thinking about it as well. Had my Note on EBay today and took it down as I have JB now and the prices will be dropping soon. Costco has the S3 for 129.00 . Black Friday deals could be worth waiting for. I don't see the advantage of the International version anymore except for the FM. Tough decesion. But the longer I wait the better idea I will have on which TW Rom will take the lead as well

I am 100% happy with my Note II and I think anyone who buys one is unlikely to be disappointed, however I didn't get that "blown away" feeling that I got when I first switched from SGSII to the original Note.
I Broke the screen on my Note I & have not got around to fixing it, so mine needed replacing anyway, before I broke the Note I, I absolutely loved it and feel it was probably the best smartphone I'd ever used ( and I have used plenty) I feel the Note II is for all intents and purposes the same phone as the Note I with a few tweaks, and since I prefer to run CM10 I have to say I barely notice the differences between the two - this is not a slur against the Note II , more praise for the Note I.
Maybe if you are a fan of Touchwiz & all the S-pen stuff then its a different story, but my experience is like an iPhone upgrade - simply more of the same with a few tweaks.
In daily use there is little difference for me, personally. My gf has the 1 now, and i am jealous of her extra 80 pixels.
