There is no doubt Samsung Galaxy S is one of the most threatening competitors against the iPhone 4. It seems Samsung won’t stop with the nagging ads, but will step even further – give away a free Galaxy S to unsatisfied iPhone 4 users. Beat that, Apple!
Samsung UK offered free Galaxy S to a few angry iPhone 4 users on Twitter. Those people posted some complaints about the reception issues and later received a message to send their details and receive a free Galaxy S. This comes directly from the official Samsung UK Twitter account. Nice, eh?
I got my iPhone 4 a few hours ago and the first call I made dropped due to my natural handgrip. I’m certainly not surprised but really – the first one?! And it happened in an area with some perfect network coverage. A further inspection on the “death spot” shows all bars dropped to one, just by touching it on that special spot.

So if anybody tells you there are no reception issues, take it with a pinch of salt. And if Samsung wants to give you a Galaxy S because of your iPhone 4 problems – take it too and spread the word about it. I know I would.
well i'm sure the catch is to RETURN their "defective" iphone4 back to them, for them to receive the "Free" SGS i9000
You might want to consider carrying a spare battery if you're a real heavy user like me. As to switching off the data over 3G, You might want to try out SwitchPro. It's only a dollar.
Edit : sorry reply to the wrong thread. Ignore this.

Haha, I'll be please to give them my SGS if they give me their iPhone 4. . Big difference in cost. Althouh, seriously, I want both of them as they're both very good phones.
Mate my bro gt iphone 4g and my galaxy s beats the s*** outta it and he regretfully admits it too mwahahaha
If they're giving it free to disasatifield iPhone 4 users, hen I'm one of the dissatisfied one.
Oops I haven't got my iPhone 4 yet, but I will be and I will be dissatisfied. . I'm happy to be bribed.
Welcome to modern age marketing.
Funny how all of the people who have been given the free phone are all known tech bloggers, and not average customers.

Unintentional awesome:
I was just trying out google voice search for the first time. It all worked flawlessly, even with my aussie accent, except for one longer search.
I said: "Samsung Galaxy S Froyo Firmware Update"
It searched: "samsung galaxy s free iphone update"
Does it automatically look for popular searches or something if it's a bit confused?!
it may since its interpreted by google's server
As the title says, I think it would be interesting to see where our new Galaxy S II community is coming from.
I'm personally coming from a Galaxy S 1.
So, what was your previous phone before the Galaxy S II? You can select multiple options if you have multiple phones simultaneously, but only vote for phones you had DIRECTLY before getting your SGS II, not ones you've had in the past.
EDIT: Samsung option should say '2010 or newer Android', includes other Samsung Android phones from 2010. Oh, and obviously by Galaxy S II I mean Galaxy S...can't imagine anyone is already moving from an S II to an S II...
GalaxyS 1: My Current
Iphone 4: Backup
both will be sold soon for the sgs2
I got talked into all the hype about iphone 4 now that i have had it for 6 months i cant wait to sell it, ahhh i hate apple.

When I got my Galaxy S on contract last year, one of the attractions was that Optus here were using unlocked, unbranded handsets for it so there was the option of selling it and grabbing a new unlocked phone before my 24-month contract was up.
As I'm doing right now for the S II!

I was never a fan of Android before, but now I'm making the plunge from an iPhone 4 because the GS2 looks awesome
My Desire started overheating with GPS & 3G (known hardware issue), but I won't be anywhere near a service centre I could use for months. Guess that's gonna get passed down to my wife once I can get it fixed.
Now I just need to find a place to buy the SGS2 somewhere in Malaysia or Thailand (with a intl. warranty). Any suggestions?

Gah, wish I could edit the poll.....forgot Blackberries too!
Big fail on my part.
i was just reading articles (on korean news web site) and it was saying that
samsung will not introduce galaxy s3 in MWC but they might display Galaxy note S instead.
The article also stated that the Galaxy Note S will have ICS, better camera and quadcore CPU..
Now, I don't know if this source is regit and trustful.. but i am definitely interested in, and probably even consider, changing my note to the quadcore ICS Samsung galaxy note for sure
imo i dont think samsung will introduce another note before s3 also i dont think samsung is willing to put an alternative to its own product while it is sales are good.
That would be suicide in my personal opinion. They JUST released this device 3 months ago, and they're going to announce the next one? Do you know how many people would be pissed off, myself included. Especially after paying top dollar (in my case Euro) for a device that they would supposedly be phasing out for its new big brother Note S?
I count this as pure speculation, and it won't happen. I stand corrected if it does, and I would have also lost complete faith in Samsung if they do! That's just bad marketing!!!

+1, you are 100% correct. The Galaxy Note only just came out, only had mine a few months so it's very unlikely they will release another one.
In fact the Note hasn't even been released in the US yet! How can they bring out a newer version when the original is still to be released in America?
I'd say 2013 at the earliest for a Note replacement, not anytime soon...
It's most likely a fake rumour or the Galaxy S III...
Rumors make the world go round.
I don´t think that after the huge success of the S2 and the Note, are the Samsung Mobile managers in any hurry of releasing a next device. From the Note there are already over 1,5 Million devices sold and the phone is not even out in the US.
At the moment the market will stay stable for a while there is really no real competitor to Samsung. HTC is no where near at the moment with their products and LG just failed in my opinion giving the customers the support they deserve.
The strategy is pretty simple. The web will be filled with rumors and speculations for the S3 / possible Note2 just to build up momentum and discussions about it.
Samsung has placed its self as an Apple alternative nr1 at the moment. They will only release an S3 or a Note2 when Apple decides to release the Idumb5.
So expect both devices (Idumb5 and S3) at about the same time (estimate mid summer).
Customer support is the key to success. Give the customer the feeling he is valuable to the company and you will try to keep him satisfied. Especially if he has payed some 600€ for a fricking phone.
i totally agree with you, the new note s won't be in market anytime soon, but i was thinking that samsung might introduce note s in MWC and produce it in the 4th quarter? then again, i have no idea if the writer has regit sources.. but hey, quadcore note.. im totally buying it lol
From what I heard, the Samsung Galaxy Note S was the smaller version of the current Note. Although that's very doubtful because that sort of is the Galaxy S II.
Releasing this phone any time soon would simply mean less money for Samsung, as the Note is still being sold alot, and needs to be sold more in the US too.
I sure hope the Samsung Note S is just a rumour if it, indeed, is the bigger, quad core version of our Note. That'd devastate all the current Note users..
quit whining
Guys,
I am really surprised at the attitude here, why would anyone not want them to release a newer updated version of the Note, a product that is already good but like anything can be made even better.
Technology marches on, the note was announced early summer 2011 yes some of you have only just got them but there will still be people buying galaxy s2 even after the s3 is released or announced.
do you really want to stop progress, it would be like saying our parents saying i dont want anyone to invent CD's because I have just bought a nice tape deck.....
Grow up, quit whining and stop trying to fight the future.
I'll flog my note to some technological dullard and buy a quad core, super amoled plus hd ( non pentile ) rear plate cmos camera equipped G Note S the moment it comes out.
Now a real question is does anyone know if the S-pen will retain pressure sensitivity using the ICS native api or only running wacom drivers......
MG
I am not against the future or development of technology.
I just hope that Note S don't come out TOO SOON. Got it? NOT TOO SOON!
'Cause I don't want my beloved Note is soon defaced by a stupid-same-size-and-design thing!!!
I wrote about this few weeks back,GNote with its 5.3" screen has created a completely new class,and looks like its becoming a hit fast,so Samsung just cant sit back and watch some another company come up with same form factor but with better specs,they have to keep themselves in the lead by beeing few steps ahead of the compitition.
Hence my prediction that we will have a new GNote sometime in the 4th quarter,and ,of course, i will be there to get one ,which also means cutting back my beer consumption,since this thing doesnt come cheap!!.

The Note was first announced in September 2011 and released in October 2011 (black version). Most phones were delivered in November / December first time and the white devices were first in December there.
We are at the start of February the phone is at the hands of most owners for a maximum of two or three months.
I am one of the owners who frequently changes phone, mostly because its a hobby but I really like the note and I would like to stick to it longer than 3 months before I loose a huge amount of money just because a newer version is out.
I can see a successor to the note only in at aprox year from now as a bigger S3.
These could be a Galaxy Note S or Plus or whatever but I don't think it will be a replacement for Galaxy S2 but just another addition in Samsung product portfolio.
As I wouldn't be happy to get 5 something inch screen because it's too big for me if we speak about phone
http://samsunggalaxys3review.net/long-rumored-white-samsung-galaxy-nexus-officially-announced/
there was an official announcement sometime back on sammobiles, or I should say maybe that was an unofficial news, but the Note S will be unveiled later this year in q4, They just started selling in usa and canada from feb, and invested millions in the super bowl ad, its impossible for note release.
plus its just announced that samsung isnt showing anything at mwc. cheers !

Hah! Funny people. Do your really think that Samsung is that stupid? They've invested A LOT of money into the Note, and it sells pretty well, and you think that Samsung will unveil a new model when the US version just got released, and they advertised at the freaking Super Bowl!?
"Yes, let's advertise this product and release a completely new model in a month and burn some serious money".
If they did that people would stop buying the Note and wait for the "Note S", and Samsung would have massive losses. Do you think it's cheap to build and design a phone? No. It costs millions upon millions of dollars.
The natural thing would be to unveil the next gen Note in september again; 12 month after the previous unveiling, like they're doing with the Galaxy S products.
And i'll end this post with a quote:
"When pushed, Ryan Bidan, director of product marketing at Samsung, said that while he wasn’t sure what the model count for his company would be in 2012, he agreed that phone makers should drive down the number of phones. “Sheer SKU proliferation is a problem,” he said."
Maybe it could be the rumored Samsung Galaxy Journal rumored to be coming on Verizon and Sprint (USA). Same 5.3" display and all that but CDMA w/LTE support.
Yup, that might be the case.

Firemaker please keep up.
There was plenty of articles and discussions about samsung note back in august last year and the note or smart-tab-phone ( translation) was allready shown at a number of trade shows in korea througout the summer ( Anyone could read about it ahead of the official release even in mass market blogs like engaget )
Its now february half a year later and I dont understand the alarm and negative comments this is causing.
1) most buyers of these devices dont even read these geek only sites and just buy what they see in the stores... they dont care what *might* be available on worldwide import or other geos
2) very few of the notes users pay 600 anythings £$€ as they just buy phones on contract so its no real loss for them if there is an update
3) Surely any reasonable individual would be pleased if sammy annouce an updated note taking advantage of refreshed technology, we are not talking revolution here, purely an evolution to the current state of the market for a premium device. ( how could any non luddite aurgue this isnt a good thing ?)
4) people are whining they are loosing money ....WTF you bought something its great, so chill out be pleased, something better will come out soon, who cares you havnt lost anything ...if you buy a dell pc and intel release a faster processor six months later will you get upset if dell include it in that model......
we should celibrate these refreshes and be pleased for constant innovation otherwise we would all be still walking around with wap speed data on our tft ipaqs and sony clies instead of hspa oled hd notes.....
maybe they announce TW5 and ICS
May be they will announce a Galaxy Note S with SuperAMOLED Plus?
All the 'S' phones have SuperAMOLED Plus display. YoU never know,
Hi all!
Well, the time has come to move on to the next toy to play with
By pure chance my contract is up for renewal just as Samsung are doing they're nice little swap promotion.
Probably going to pick up a HTC One... although with all the delays with O2, I might get a sneak peak at the s4 stats and change my mind
Just wanted to let you all know, I was worried about the firmware/ROM when sending it off so I gave Samsung promotions a call.
They couldn't care less what its running as long as it is running and in good nick
Also, it states in the t&c's all parts returned have to be original, so confirmed will take my 2000mah original battery too! (thank god, can't find my old one...)
So now I'm just waiting for my white envelope, can't wait to play with my new Samsung smart camera £199.00 strait swap!
oh, and if you send off for it, their email response isn't working so don't freak out you didn't get one (like I did lol)
Is been a pleasure to be part of the s2 community ! And there are a lot of faces I'm going to miss, Conantroutman has helped me more than any one could want for, thanks again m8.
God speed with all future development

Actually, its not about the life quality, its about your budget. As an ordinary employee, your salary wont be enough to follow the tech-toys, you know. And the biggest issue on this topic, as our mate here mentioned, is the taxes! Since importing of such devices takes a very big slice of annual Import digits, the government applies high rate of taxes on cell phones. And also the growing appetite to new devices of people here, makes phone dealers and distributors more "Greedy", hungry for much more profits than any other country. So, this is it, a brand new S3 and S2 has almost the same price.

I've just bought a note 10.1, I know its not listed... Lol but that was going to be my argument if it came up.

Have to say, she's felt awfully slow on the last few ROMs (namley Rootbox & pa)
I keep telling my self its for the best.
I guess this is going to be the last hold up thread for KitKat since Samsung decided they could probably get more Americans to buy the billion new Galaxy Note devices they've launched instead of giving the original Note 10.1 a update.
< My N8013 is on Android 4.1.2 and has been that way since I got it April 2013 and it auto-updated from 4.0.
I am surprised how long its been since Samsung has updated this tablet. My previous tablet that was riddled with problems (ASUS Transformer Prime/Infinity) which is how I became a Samsung user, that tablet at least got Android 4.2 before ASUS moved on.
This is a lovely tablet. I hope the delay is due to Samsung giving us the best KitKat update, with all the apps that the current Galaxy Note 10.1 receives.

Nobody is sure that it will. Seems Samsung is updating 3g 4g devices and those sold by Carriers only.
I predict Samsung will Drop support for every device below there new S line in the near future.
Ive only had my note 10.1 lte just over a year. its a shame there isnt an update yet.
i'm fine with my N8013 running the KitKat build from the N8000 right now for the most part. The only thing that bothers me is that USB devices won't work properly on this build.
If Samsung ever will release KitKat for my N8013, I'll be glad to update, but until then, the XDA forums has done a nice job keeping the device relevant

Yes . but there is a Solid trend.The tablets they are updated are the ones that have data services or SOLD By Cell Carriers. the n8000 n8020.. they updated the g tab 3 Carrier Branded model number..
I also have a note 2 phone on 4.3 t- mobile. I suspect it will NOT Get another update. Thou like some on with the 10.1 there are some roms out there from the at-t Varient that works . But there is a twist and it could be the same with some people in here. There are random number of people who brick there phone flashing said roms when they follow the instructions exactly right. Has me a bit scared. Its suspected some of the note 2 t-mobile phones have a different board level components that is causing this.
anyway Sorry for my Ramblings
They are only Thoughts and nothing solid.
I dont know, i never would buy a carrier variant, and I dont have to because we dont have that kind of business here. What I have understood the carrier thing actually delays updates, because they need to build those differend kinds of variant firmwares that have to be tested and accepted by all parties.

Oh and the supposedly most up to date N7 hasn't been upgraded with 4.4.3 for the LTE version. Its the only N7 that hasn't received the update. Seems I always get the devices that the manufacturer releases and forgets.
The update of the 8010 which is wifi only is a good sign for those of us with wifi only versions. I have an 8013 so maybe there is an update soon for us.

Unlikely. Big corporations aren't run directly by top management like that. Unless we hear of a major shakeup that affects the tablet division, it's more likely that it's just delayed or deferred. What makes this so surreal is that the N8010 is essentially identical to the N8013, neither are 3G devices - so it's weird that the 8010 has been updated, but the 8013 hasn't.
Still if it never shows, you can always upgrade using the 8010 ROM, annoying as that is.

When you buy their flagship, you expect that it has also premium support. But no, even their crappest cheap plastic frisbees have gotten better support.
I dont know, but I probably buy a new android phone when I replace my Note (yes this is also my huge phone) and for a tablet, im thinking about getting Surface Pro 3 and maybe iPad Air2 if they have fixed the problem iPad Air has alot... but what ever I do, Samsung hasnt anything to do with it.

I'm kinda liking what LG is bringing to the table. I have the NOTE 3 but the G3 is pretty impressive phone. If LG proves itself with a good tablet and good software support, I will jump ship and go back to LG like I was before smart phones emerged.

So it is easy to lose track of time. The other note 10.1 2012 models have all been updated over a month ago. Did we miss that train? Or do you think it still might happen for the gt n8013??
gt n8000 48 days ago
gt n8010 36 days ago
gt n8020 33 days ago
gt n8013 ??? nothing yet.

+100 ! I have the Note and LG Optimus Pro. I have NEVER flashed away from LG stock because it is such a good phone and stock is just super. Its screen is 10x better and I realize what I have been missing. EVERYTHING on the LG just works ALL the time...
Cannot wait for LG G3 and dump Samsung. LG updated to Kitkat so long ago (calculated in XDA waiting days!!)
Samsung is a slipshod operation with hyper advertising..... The truth is they were the only one to take Apple on, but it does not mean they made great products.
OK, enough ranting !!!
