Nice comprehensive review between the 2 top dogs.
http://www.mobiletechreview.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Number=41874
I imported the GSM Nexus, had it for 3 weeks, then sold it to get the note.
Once the newness of ICS wore off, it was just another average phone with a poor camera.
No regrets at all.

I've got both and agree partially. The nexus feels much better in hand though.
I can't wait for the note to have ics

Very timely!
Bought the Note today! Should be here tomorrow! Lisa in the video says she uses the Galaxy Note!
Nice review!! I dig my Note.. So sexy. Came from a Hero and when I hold the Hero nowadays it just doesn't feel quite right. Everything's better on the big screen I guess

She even went as far as to call it "Lisa's Christmas Toy" which I love! haha. She is a fantastic youtuber and reviewer in general. I always look first for her own reviews. I decided to buy it after watching that review, and her making a few statements about it on twitter
i have the note, my brother has the galaxy s 2, and another friend has the cdma nexus.
The note is the best of the three. The nexus is probably the best looking in my opinion and it also feels the best in your hand.
The SII has a much better camera than the other two though. The nexus is probably the most responsive as well although it could be because his phone was brand new and mine was already rooted and running custom launchers and whatnot

Had to google it to make sure its real. but thats got to be one of the best placenames ever
I have both the internation Note and the GSM Galaxy Nexus. I really like them both, I prefer the Nexus when it comes to feel in the hand and portability, but like I've said before overall I just enjoy using/playing with the Note. I know people moan and whine about manufacturer overlays like TouchWiz, but when it comes down to it it's just stock Android. People constantly add all kinds of 3rd party widgets and apps, and then none of them flow together, where at least everything has a similar style on a manufacturer customization. The Nexus is a little smoother/faster, but the Note has better battery life, better camera, little bit higher screen resolution, plus I feel like games and stuff work nicer on the Note. Also the whole stylus feature is pretty awesome. Oh also expandable memory. I switch back and forth between my Focus, Note, and Nexus. Out of the 3 I feel like I'd be most likely to sell off the Nexus first.
I think it's a bit of a shame that the Note doesn't have NFC, I want to get the Note soon but I'd like to be able to use Google Wallet with it too

In my opinion, these 2 features are in the same level of "overrated-ness" as annoying Siri.

Lol. Using the ATRIX is so funny. I am amazed I can type on thus thing. I do remember the ATRIX having a nice sensitive screen, a little bettrr than gnex and n4, but the note2 screen is so nice all across the board. Sensitivity, after putting in movie mode everything looks natural and I have hardly seen any black crush and watching videos does not put any hurt on the battery.

lol. i think we've all had a "i couldn't imagine using a phone that big" moment including non gnote2 users. iphone5 users are probably ****ting their pants with that extra row of icons. lol.
Would you imagine going back to a phone without multiwindow?? i just got used to be using 2 apps at once! Also the battery life is great! I can never go back! I just love my note 2! Every other phone looks boring for me. "Show me something i haven't seen...i got a note 2"
××**ches love note 2
my previous phone was an HTC Doubleshot (T-M MyTouch4GSlide), and having moved over to the Note2 for about a a week, I went back to the MT4GS so as to wipe it and install latest CyanogenMod 9. The MT4GS seems so small, almost like a toy, with its tiny display.
I ain't never gonna go back!
The "shock" is not the size of the Note but the cuteness of the phone you replace
That moment when I take my ex, SG1, in my hands again and think to my self "OMG, I used to tell people this thing has a huge screen??? I gotta find them all and tell them how wrong I was! :victory:"
Priceless!
you all think that the SGS2 or HD2 or anything else is small in comparison to Note 2? I have a Nokia XpressMusic 5800 at home! This is really small!
Hey everyone,
Just putting my thoughts out there.
I recently moved from the Note to the S4.
For 3 reasons:
1- LTE
2- Higher resolution screen
3- Latest Android version
Ill delve into each point.
1- LTE in the UAE is usually about 10 to 18 mpbs whereas HSPA topped out to 7mbps.
At worst LTE, it is still faster than HSPA.
2- I love high resolution and sharp images. I bought the Note because it had a huge screen with excellent resolution and PPI but the S4 beats it.
3- Funnily enough, I got the upgrade to Jellybean on my Note 5 days before I received my S4 LTE. And imediiately I noticed my device had become better in some areas (like smoothness of flow - project butter as they call it) but the menus and navigation within the device itself became laggy. So it was a double edged sword update. Fluidity was better but at the cost of general performance.
I have to say though. I'll still pick up my Note and look at its beautiful huge screen fondly and wish I could use it.
Sure the S4 is slimmer (than the Note and even the S3) and the screen is bigger than the S3 (but smaller than the Note). I know how they achieved this They did what Apple did. Instead of widening the screen, they simply elongated it.
Suffocation anyone? I feel claustrophobic using the Apple 5 and somewhat claustrophobic with the S4.
Sure the S4 is smoother (fluidity) but the device doesn't feel much faster than the Note (in terms of opening apps, switching to apps and so on).
Its nice but not nice enough to move from a Note to an S4 unless you got the funds. Otherwise wait for the Note 3.
For myself, I'll use the S4 till the Note 3 comes out, and if its on par or better, I'll get it and give the S4 to my 3 year old or to wifey or someone.
Therefore I have decided that I will probably get the Note 3 if it has the same performance (LTE + high resolution + high PPI) when it comes out.
Just my thoughts but damn I miss the Note screen size.

No they didn't, they actually made the screen larger, they slimmed the bezels.

I didn't understand what you mean
According to sammobile, the note 3 is gonna use the same design as the s4 including its features and plastic back. So its gonna be like the galaxy mega 6.3 with stylus and improved performance. So if any of you who can't afford a phone with the same or higher than the price of the s4, wait for the mega 5.8 or 6.3 in june/july and just get it. In terms of performance these phones can't handle it due to touchwiz crap. So if there is going to be cm support on any of the 2 phones then ill buy one of them. Here's a review of the Galaxy Mega 5.8 http://www.google.com.sg/url?sa=t&s...GconvWPvA807u9tZw&sig2=k8L14oRtMkOUJxtRiA3TeA and a review of the Galaxy Mega 6.3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-t2UWW_wx8
Galaxy Mega. This is it!
Thanks Juhan.
It all depends on functionality.
I was able to use the note I note II , but just barely.
Let's see how the note III works in the real life.
I meant this is GT-N7000 forum and stop talking about your S4 lol ! :good:
The gt-n7000 forum is pretty dead these days, but its fairly safe to say that those of us left are all waiting on the note 3.
Note 2 is a total joke with its downgraded resolution, s3 was a toy and the s4 while nice, is still not as good as an n7000.

And I don't need metal. A metal unibody will be great but I never had any problems with plastic!

Nowadays phones after the s3 seems to be more vulnerable to cracks and scratches.even though they have the latest gorilla glass. I was from the s3 and was dissapointed after it cracked even though it landed softly on a basketball court. Bought the note and and can't believe its still perfect even though I drop it more than twice with a heavy 5200mah battery. So now I'm also waiting for the note 3 and hopes that it has the 'unbreakable' screen

You are right for sure. My note has fallen on so many kind of surface so many times and its still going strong. Touch wood! It didn't scratch even with 5200mAh battery. I had thought the heavy battery would surely kill the note with a fall. But it didn't!
iv got the note 1 and i love it i also have the s4 and love that also but im waiting on the note 3 coz i know that will be amazing. once u pick up a note u cant use another phone because the screen is to small. i love big screens
That's exactly what I think!
Once you have a Note all other phones are "tiny".
And when you have big hands (like me) the Note is perfect for me!
And when I think about the Note 3 with full HD Display = WOW!

Same. Last time I thought my s3 was too big for my hands but after holding the note for more than a month and picking up my father's s3 I felt that it was really light. Then I hold my sister's s4 and it was effortless to hold. BTW sometimes I laugh when I see people playing games on that puny iPhone. There was once I saw 4 of my friends playing gravity guy on the iPhone. Then they tried the game on my note and it was more comfortable

I'm no expert but,
Note 3 n9000 apparently has no hardware knox counter, I don't need 4g as 3g is fast enough, I wont ned tovtake 4k videos ever, and the 4+4 core makes sense to me.

No, but again, this article is all supposition with no firm answers... Just a "leak" about what might be on it.
As such, my previous comment can be considered what could be due to the fact you can have lasers make holograms and the HOT smart watch does in fact allow your hand to be used as a handpiece to make/receive calls....

According to an article on Android Authority the difference between 1440p and 1080p is slighty noticeable on smartphones.
http://www.androidauthority.com/quad-hd-vs-1080p-comparison-359430/
But assuming the 1440p screen is a battery drainer, I would probably go for the superior performance / battery life on a similar 1080p device
