I really like my note ....but im i also luv the 7.7...so im asking for a opinion from you guys....is it worth the trade.....
This belongs in general not development...
Anyway, I prefer the size of the 7.7 screen, and the fact that it's not pentile. But the stylus and ICS make the Note very attractive.
I have them both the note is better for phone functions and the 7.7 is better for tablet functions, easy answer buy them both and while your at it you might as well get an asus prime so you also have a 10 inch tablet !
I have them both but only using my 6800 now.
Thanks for all the input ive been looking for the perfect solution i like the tab and want big screen plus make calls.
Do you think its worth a trade . .would it be pretty even .

Only thing making me keep my note is just as a backup. also really wanting ics...
Moved To General
Please post in the correct section
keep your note with you please.
Its not that tab is not good,
but note has good developer support, while this tab has very poor developer support.
Even it has less support from samaung itself very less updates, where as note has good samsung support.
i will advice you to not to trade your device for this.
Its your choice.
Good luck
I would recommend sticking with the Note if you are into custom ROMS or ICS.
thanks for all yalls help ...hopefully i can stumble upon a INT version pretty cheap and get that one .....and patiently wait for the note 2....
now should i get the 7.7 since its been annouced that ics is coming ....btw anyone interested in trading 7.7 for a note ....
I can't believe I'm considering this, but---possibly...
-----------
The indefinite microcosm becomes the indefinite macrocosm in a definite manner and by definite means...and vice versa.
I REALLY like this tab. I LOVE drawing on it. Its NOT too big, but I keep tearing the rubber from capacitive styli... and pressure sensitivity..... that was the big toss up for me, the pressure sesitivity... it's running ics now? I have a p6800 and I LOVE it. Can I give up the extra screen realestate for pressure sensitivity? Forum? Can you help me decide if I should make this trade? This is probably where PM'S become good. But now let me REALLY research the Note and I'll get back to you.
Got the 7.7 yesterday. I have been debating it for months. I still have the Note... will be keeping both! Screen is amazing on 7.7...just like the S2. Also, unlike many tabs, the 7 screens are preserved and it is not cut down to 5. There is a tiny bit of lag sometimes when transitioning screens, hopefully this will go with ics update. But, it wont be the end of the world if it doesnt. I like the handiness of the mini app tray and having some ability to personalize this. Thought i would miss the IR function (which has been taken out of the final 7.7 UK model), but i dont. I have no issue with other styli not being pressure sensitive...i am impressed with writing and drawing ability on 7.7. However, unlike many on here, this function is not essential for my lifestyle or my work. I plan to use my 7.7 as a phone and media device when at home for long periods or travelling. This will save my battery on my Note ... I will use my Note for work.

Yep the default launcher lags during transitioning. The default TW launcher is the worse of its kind. Any other launcher you could find on earth is better than it.
They said ICS will be there for 7.7 next month, but even so why torture your tab with TW launcher anymore? I recommend GO Launcher HD, or you could try Lightning.
Yeah well the offer still stands if anyone wants to pm me . . . .tab for a note . . .

Thanks for the recommendation. Will check out the Go Launcher HD app
to see if it can kill the lag

Honestly now, who really uses the S Pen on a regular basis? And for what functionality?

I use mine regularly to scratch the insides of my ears. Beats having to carry q-tips!
I use daily for typing, scrapbook, action memo and pen window. I love the pen improvements over note 2

I am now trying to use it for typing (writing). I like the browsing better with pen than fingers, actually, because I always keep the Desktop version of the pages and click with SPen is way more accurate.
I don't know, though, if I will keep doing forever. Have had the phone only for 6 days.
Samsung Slate 7 pen with erase button
Mostly I use an external S-pen from my Samsung Slate 7 win 7 tablet or the internal pen but nearly never my fingers, and not only because the pen does not smear the screen. I bought the Note 2 and 3 only for the pen support as tablet and don't have a sim inside. As phone my wife and I use a Samsung 5722 Dual-Sim cell phone which can last up to a week, to avoid beeing out of battery when we use the Note extensively.
Handwriting recognition is faster then typing and as good as my Samsung Slate 7 win 7 tablet. The erase function is supporte n Note 2 and 3, but requires the erase button on the opposite site of the pens writing tip. Thats why I have a spare pen from my Samsung Slate 7 win 7 tablet right next to my writing pen.
Besides typing and notes taking and small drawings I use it also to scratch my nose.
I take all my work meeting notes etc. on it at meetings. This is a major reason I got it. If you use a normal phone people think you are texting etc. With the pen people can see you are taking notes, setting up appointments, creating tasks, etc. Then you can do multi window and do some surfing in the top while you do all this.
I have the Note 3 and the Note 10.1. I won't own any other type of device anymore because I use the pen so much. It is a game changer for me. I think it may be a bigger thing for business and education, and not as much for everyday consumer.
l agree Spen is a game changer

Not as often as often as I'd like to.
Swype is faster than writing with the pen.
Most webpages are mobile device friendly. Meaning buttons are late enough to press with a finger. Same goes to the android OS.
It's like WinMo 5 or 6 that absolutely required you to use a pen to do regular menial tasks.

+1 to the above plus I haven't touched the phone with finger since I bought it.

I use it 95% of the time. For anything: Writing, drawing, general control...
I'm a Wacom Intuos4 user, which I often use instead of a mouse on my laptop, so the Spen feels natural to me.
Bonus, I can eat a sandwich and still use my phone. Also, no smudges on my lovely screen when watching a film in HD
I use it alot ....

+1 to the "+1." If it weren't for S Pen/S Note I'd most likely have a LG G2. I have about 100 items in various scrapbooks, tons of S Notes, I use the pen for entering text unless I'm "moving" where I'll use the keyboard, I use it capture items from e-mail, MMS, and the web to either save or forward, and the list goes on. I've been doing this since the Note II/Note 10.1 and now have a N3 and am getting a 3G Note 10.1 2014. Samsung's said 60% of Note-series buyers use the S Pen daily. It's fantastic for productivity users and creatives.

I wish I had a bit of creativity in me or design ability eh eh I am In graphic art business but totally on prepress and IT side. My wife grabs my N3 and is sketching, drawing etc. She is an iPhone 4s user but it's like a Mickey maous in comparison with N3 and slowly I change her lol. I believe this day next year I will be with N4 and she will have my N3.

I use it to:
Take notes, mostly in meetings etc.
Occasionally I'll use the action note to set a task for myself, although without a sync, tasks are a bit lame.
Some games are better with a pen.
I find myself opening the calculator in a window quite often now, much more than I used to when you were forced full screen.
Handwriting recognition is pretty amazing
The handwriting recognition is pretty amazing. (If yours isn't working, install the Stylus Beta app). using teh stylus, click on the small stylus icon on the top left of any text input area.
Works in German too.
MyScript Calculator (from the Stylus Beta people) is an great calculator that uses handwriting recognition
Just a few...:good:
today I accompanied my elderly mom to the Doctor and as he was rambling off all these Medical terms I whipped out the ole S-pen and created a Action Memo to capture the Dr's instructions.
A similar incident a few days earlier I was outside at a weekend fair...and the nurse called me with important info...I could barely hear with all the noise but put my phone on speaker, jotted down a contact name and phone number on Action Memo. Later I converted that to a contact..JUST like the commercials!
I used the s-pen a few days ago to draw my home's basement layout for some design work and square footage calculation. Very helpful when showing the flooring salesperson.
Also working on a small business adventure and the S-pen is very handy to sketch out my initial product designs thoughts.
Actually s pen is the only reason why I am using note series. I am also learning to sketch so s pen is really helping me out. Taking notes with s pen daily is also making life easier. If you look at software design structure of note 3, samsung want us to use s pen all the time.

I sign PDF docs on the fly, using Repligo Reader from the store.
I rarely used the S-pen in my Note 1. Just taking screenshots and writing notes on it, or clipping parts of screens. I didn't like the horrible handwriting recognition it had.
Note 3 on the other hand, I use the Spen regularly for Action Memo and hand writing. The hand writing recognition is brilliant in Note 3. Jotting down a date/time and converting it into an appointment. Jotting down an address then searching it on Google maps.
For my birthday yesterday I received a "virtual keyboard" from Brookstone. I have not had much of a chance to use it yet but it sure is interesting. I will report back on my experience. Does anyone else have one and what do they think? I have uploaded a photo of my daughter trying it out...

Only real problem with those is that some people will not like the fact that since there is no actual keyboard, when you type you won't feel any keys travel since its just a flat surface. I was able to adjust to it but I can see how some would have issue with that.
I have had a chance to use it. This is the one from Brookstone. The engineering is amazing. The connection to bluetooth is instant. It doesn't miss a single keystroke. The image of each key even slightly changes to display that key in a depressed state when you tap on it. For what it is, it has no drawbacks. If you want the feel of a real keyboard, then no virtual keyboard will give you that. I give it two things up.

Some clever XDA guys in the S4 thread managed to port Note 3 SPen apps to the S4 (using finger or capacitive stylus instead of SPen).
So I tried their apks on my Tab Pro 12.2 and got Note Pro style ActionMemo working without problems (ie. with draw-around lassoo-actions for handwritten text).
I could not get "air command" pop up window installed or working, or scrapbook to work by drawing round a part of a window. (It works with the full window send to scrapbook). They say you have to open air command with a gesture app or shortcut widget, since of course it cannot recognize when you take out the pen.
I find my normal capacitive stylus works really well on my 12.2 screen (Handwriting, Sketchbook etc) so if the port works between Note3 and S4, it should work from the Note Pro to the Tab Pro.
Has anyone else tried this -with success- on a Tab Pro?
Yes... I could have just bought the Note Pro, but I got a REALLY good price on a slightly used Tab Pro (T900)!
post a link and lets discuss. i didnt buy the Note version because it was $100 more when i went shopping and just couldnt justify it and have a Note 3
