And also a copy/paste of ad:
(Note 3, AT&T, BLACK trade for iPhone 5****, 32GB, BLACK, Sealed!)
Ok fiends check this out.
I've seen a lot of posts on here about this same trade so here are MY rules.
1. Don't down play my Note like the iPhone 5**** is some glorified, advanced piece of equipment with your "even trade + cash" offers. The minute your 5**** can do half the stuff mine does and last twice as long, then we can talk a "+ cash" deal.
2. The Note 3 have yearly releases, not something seasonal like Apple does. So you'll have the latest Note 3 for a whole ****ing year. Your 5**** will probably be outdated by the Spring.. but you know this already.
3. My batteries lasts me a whole day and I'm a Banker. I live on my phone. You're on FB and IG and it only runs for 4 hours before you need to pull out you short-corded charger to get some life back in your iPhone 5****.
4. Let's be honest for a minute and admit that Apple died with Steve Jobs. I get it, you still have "Hope"..but this isn't Cancer and you're not Steve Jobs, Apple is dying. Be smart with your investments and admit that Samsung is now leading in technology with super advanced products.
To conclude, my Note 3 is better than your iPhone 5**** but I am willing to do a special person the favor and exchange my precious, mint, not a single scratch on the screen phone for your piece of crap iPhone 5**** SEALED! Yes. And proof of receipt. Other than that, I am perfectly happy with my phone, can live with my phone until Apple releases a new one. It's your choice.
My Note will come with the box, case, new screen protector and charging cord, and the s-pen tips with the pen included.
Email me, serious inquiries only.
He's right about this - "Apple died with Steve Jobs".
I'm confused if his gn3 is so rad why doest he want an "I ****"?

Perhaps he wants a phone that fits in his pocket. I'm not hating on the n3 but it'll be entering our family because my wife wants it. I'd personally go s4 but even that's abnormally large now that I think of it does Samsung have a high powered small device?

Try the mini and active series.
That ad was classic, I wonder many people trolled him though...
This prob belongs in the n3 ot section though.
That was funny. As for fitting in the pocket, I sometimes forget that the phone is in my pocket, it's soo thin.

Big? When I'm not using the N3 it's in its holster. Hardly notice it unless I'm buckling the seatbelt in the driver's seat.
If I'm in a situation where I'm on and off it, it's in my shirt pocket. With my glasses, pen and usually a couple of other little things. (And, no, I don't have shirts with mailbags sewn on.)
But when I need a large screen, or a fast CPU, or loads of storage (not even counting the SD card), I have it.
The original CL listing was from NY? Makes me a bit ashamed to have come from NY.

Lol I'm from Syracuse, grew up in Minoa until I was about 5, I still have family that live in Fayetteville. My mom was telling me she went shopping there a few weeks ago. I used to go to the Fayetteville mall when I was a kid before it turned into a car dealership or whatever, ate at the friendlys at least once a month and used to feed the Ducks and birds and **** at the little town pond thing. Lol learned how to swim at Green lakes. Lol got a lot of roots there. Real pretty little town.
Nice to see a fellow CNY'er here.
I don't understand, if the iPhone sucks so much then why would you want to trade for one? Maybe he just regrets his choice?
Wow...how is this satirical Craigslist add missed by so many of you smart dudes?

SJ is just too proud to admit that there's a design flaw in the iphone4. Besides the stupid Apple fanboys are still buying it despite the flaw.
Wait, what flaw? There's a flaw with an apple product, nahhh; couldn't be!
I showed this fanboy my evo and he actually wants one now. Hah.
I almost feel bad for the few I know with the iPhone 4.
Almost.
Just give them the damn bumpers like you have for some in the UK.
Still doesn't fix the actual problem but it will help .

I never had anything against apple or steve jobs UNTIL this problem showed up. The issue with the iphone 4 just justified everybody's assumptions about steve jobs and his fan boys. I lost any respect i had for jobs when he made the stupid decision to ignore the antenna issue...
He should have just given everybody free bumpers, that would have been the cheapest and most viable solution...Now he's screwed

You mean, like, by touching OSX in a no no place it won't boot anymore or something?.
why not
just move that gap to the bottom of the phone on futur models? I mean who puts there fingers on the bottom of the phone when making a call or even the top for that matter. The top might even be a better choice. Also isnt the antena a bad thing to be touching most things I read say not to have the antena to close to your face.
And lastly with a case its no longer the thinest smart phone.
Wait one more. How can we call this phone a smart phone with such a stupid flaw, im not even sure we can call it a phone, maybe a mini ipad since it dont make calls lol.
Its like nintendo when the wii first came out, first they gave everyone free better lanyards for there wiimotes, and then they gave eveyone Free bumpers for them. (although the nintendo thing was more of an operator error than a major design flaw)

Its incredible how fan boys will see past the MAJOR flaw and still decide to get the icrap 4. I had a co worker pre order his, so i decided to inform him of the issue. Mind you, I showed him about 5 different websites. He said and I quote "yeah but the new version of itunes will fix that" WTF??? So today i sent him a link to CR duct tape solution and left him a roll of duct tape on his desk....lmao

Yea your buddy is just like any other apple fanboy, stupid and wouldn't know a real smart phone if it hit them in their nerd glasses.
Apple doesn't really care about the problem on current phones. They will have it fixed on the 4g version. Same reason they didn't put a higher res camera on the back and the front. Just more reason for fanboys to upgrade again. Then the 4GS will have the video over 4G instead of wifi only and again another upgrade. Its perfect strategy for apple. Its always worked for them in the past. Why change now??
I was waiting for an appointment when several of the people noticed my Galaxy Note. I was amazed at all of their comments about how great it was to have a phone like this that looks more like a tablet and could you actually use it as a phone. They all called it my little iPad, very funny! Not one of the women commented on it being too large for them to use. The owner of the shop asked me where I bought it and proceeded to go online to Handtech and buy one, he's an iPhone 4 user. Most all the comments were made with a note of amazement. I was surprised at the general public's knowledge about unlocked phones and their use outside of the United States. Just wondering how many of you guys have had similar experiences. Everyone there wanted to know when it would be available and from what carrier.
similar experience with my phone whenever people notice it, a buddy of mine thought he was top dog with his 4.52 inch samsung galaxy s2 epic touch.... he said he wanted to do an ETF and buy this phone. Everyone also calls the phone "a little ipad"
I've only had positive reactions, especially when I show them how easy it is to go in my pocket. 1 week on, it just seems like a normal sized phone until I see someone else's.
I, also, have only had positive reactions. Several people did make ipad references (come on people, learn the word tablet!) When people ask how much it was and I tell them a little over $700 they typically are shocked, so now I've started answering "about $50 or so more than an iphone." The average American just doesn't know crap about cell phones and the subsidy model our carriers employ has them thinking smartphones cost $200. So rather than taking the time to explain how cellphones, including the one they're holding, actually cost $600-$700 and they're paying for it spread out over months without even knowing it, I just answer in terms they understand. And sometimes I'll explain how I bought a $200 icrap, sold it, and used the money to buy the Note (even though it wasn't actually in that order.)

I had two fanboy's come over to me today while I was using the Note at Best Buy, they kind of get sad,quite and a little depressed and walk away.
I'd say people either fall in love with it, or they are kind of not wanting to even try it.
I handed it to an iphone user whose first comment was, 'Wow, this keyboard is just wonderful'. (thumb keyboard 5" landscape).
One of my friends was mocking the size until I let him play with it and he started web browsing.
After some nodding he start mumbling, 'This form factor is quite nice, actually'.
My two best show off things are:
1) PDFs of the manual to show off text reading
2) playback of a movie trailer
I don't think you REALLY appreciate the note until you try to go back to a regular smartphone.
I started using my mytouch 4g the other day and after 5 minutes, I was thinking 'What is this? is this a joke?'

I used to get that with my Archos 70 (iPad?!) and now with my EP121 (iPad?!?!)... Eventually I won't get as mad as I do now!
Yesterday i met 2 Koreans in Germany and they where blown away.
They asked tons of questions and i was impressed by theyre reaction and my smile gets bigger and bigger
In my opinion they are 2 groups:
Group 1 fell in love with the galaxy Note.
The other group says its too big.
I was at the radio city music hall today - Two of the security guards approached me and were really interested in it. As they were pretty big guys, they were immediately attracted to the big screen.
My friends (all iphone users) totally flipped out when I first played them the immortals trailer on my phone.

The usual remark i hear is that ots a phone on steroids...and 'wow thats a good screen..' even from apple reps wanting to know what its like.

Ok I'm looking for some honest information without all the flaming n name calling so please be kind in ur responses.
I'm thinking about getting the iPhone bc I'm getting fed up with androids issues, I love Android to death, I've owned the mytouch 3g, Droid2 and now the EVO but I need a phone more stable without all the tweaking n modding to get things to work the way I need them to. Android has major battery problems n the only way to fix it is to buy more and/or bigger batteries, a lot of newer phones have gps n signal issues like the e4t and I just think Android has some kinks it needs to work out before they get to be reliable without having to root n flash roms, overclock etc. What I'm asking is for honest opinions on if I should step over to Apple for a year or so til Android gets there issues more worked out or just stick with this n wait?

Peace out.!!!!! Android rules!!!! Have fun with your apple......
If you really want to switch to the iphone, then go for it. Both Android and iOS have their problems. When Sprint got the iphone 4S, I thought about switching to it. But then I played with one in the store and was shocked at how tiny the screen was, and how awful it felt to hold in my hand. I live in Minnesota, so having the front and back made out of glass (along with the sides being metal) is a big downside because the device gets really cold in the winter. Plus I don't like the idea of having to sync the device to a computer. A phone should be able to be a stand-alone device.
On the flipside, my father hated his HTC Hero and switched to the iphone 4S a few months back. He's not really a techy guy, and he loves his iphone. The only downside is that the iphone 4s also has battery life problems, so I am not sure if you can escape that problem. In the end, it kind of comes down to a personal preference between the 2 OS choices. Both are matured enough that there doesn't appear to be a clear and obvious winner at this point in time.

I think the first two paragraphs of this criticism of Siri sum up how I view Apple products in general. I prefer control and Android. And more $$ in my pocket.
I use my Epic for work and play. No way I could use an iPhone for the work part of the equation!

Well, be my guest!!! I told a friend of mines "lets do a contest to download an entire album in the queickest time" He said "well is gonna cost me $12.00 on Itunes" on my EVO using Download and music search app, was free and with 4G at 9mbps it took me 7 minutes to have al 13 songs.
I phones are for nerds.
Id rather run naked, soaked in lemon juice and run through a football field size garden of roses than to use one of those funny iphone devices.
i switched to the iphone as well after deving some alphas for my evo that im going to make public soon i love android and i miss it a bit after 11 days with the iphone and 8 with the galxy s2 i see that ios is much more stable then android as its closed source and kept maintained and updated regularly by apple and the response and structure of the system is much more organized then that of android but i miss my open source allot i miss the apps and the roms and flashing and deving! i hate waiting so damn long for a god dang jailbreak !!! thats so hard to crack it takes teams to find and xploite its really agonizing to own a iphone 4s but if ur up to it u can stand the wait and the lack of change of roms and ios is lovely
Go get an iPhone, use it for a few weeks and see if you like it
i definitely would tell you DONT... but it aint for me, so what i care...

I'm really feeling torn here lol.

I tinker too much to like the iPhone. Custom kernels, ROMs, etc. Then again I would probably sleep more if I had an iPhone ...
I can easily get 9 hours. Im not a heavy user most of the time, for example I am on 22% and I took it off the charger, probably 50 hours ago, but I havent been doing too much, 5-20 min convo's here and there, playing around with a few apps, streams a bit of music while driving into the city, a hundred txts or so. I have easily been talking on the phone for 6 hours straight and only lost 15-20%. Pretty recently, but I am also running ASOP.

No u have 14 or 30 days to try it and swap or return it idk if sprint made the change from 30 to 14 days yet so check when u buy
Edit: and all u need for your evo is a new battery if yours is draining that fast its because it is old and has lost its spunk, u can buy a 3500 or on eBay you can get 3 1800mah slims for about 20$ with an external charger much cheaper than buying an iPhone that wont do anything you really want and wont let u use anything for work if your work uses windows cuz iPhone wont let u do anything related to Microsoft except check your email

I know yall probably saying that im crazy but i knew my note was going to b temporary until the Galaxy SIII was going to be released. i sold my ipad 2 a few weeks ago for the newest ipad but i spent the money lol. so now i have an old school flip phone that i love cause the battery last for days hahaha. But just wanted to share this and tell you guys have fun with the note, it is an incredible device!

I also sold my HP touchpad for a mini itx board. I'm building an undertv media PC with my old Q9450 quad core processor. I could not sell the processor for a good price so I figure I'ld use it for something. Tough to beat a 65watt quad core for a media pc.
To each their own....if you can hold your iPad 3 up to your ear and make phone calls, then I guess you made the right choice. Apple is about as corrupt a company as they come, however...and I refuse to touch anything they make...ever.

Wow you are 1 emotional fella. Yea i made a thread about ICS release on the note but it wasnt a rant it was impatience for ICS on the note. For someone who supports android and the open source youre very close minded. Reading your post i was laughing with my friends lol. Anyway i love tech stuff in general and i used to own the 3 first iphones. But when the nexus 1 came out i chose android for phone and never looked back. (Probably wont any time soon). But as far as tablet goes , in my opinion, the ipad is the clear winner. I like having an android phone and an ipad, as a consumer i get the best of both world and that what makes me happy But you probably dont understand that cause if you knew how to read and understand, i will get a Galaxy SIII which is guess what???? Android.

smartphone, yes....but smartuser, no ;-)
to each his own! God I hated the iPhone. I had 4 break on me They were crappy. But I have to say: they just worked. But wait! I haven't had a phone "not work" in years. So... I guess people can stop saying that. Yes, it's simple. But my roommate has a Blackberry 9900 (because I had one, and he loved it) and he was an iPhone 4 user, too, and was constantly frustrated about what they allowed and didn't allow him to do, multitasking, etc.
I understand why some people might want an iPhone or iPad. I personally dislike the iPad because it's just a GIANT iPhone with LESS features!
Regardless, I hope you enjoy your device By the time the SIII is released, the SIV will be in the making and then we'll all wait for that. And by the time they announce the SIV, the next device will be almost nearing its completion...
I personally don't care! I get the device I want when I want it because something better will ALWAYS come around!
The note is just FANTASTIC. It's fast, stable (no crashes!), battery life is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than ANY OTHER (smart)phone! The camera is great. I love typing because it hardly ever makes any mistakes. I don't know what else to say I love this device.

You should not conclude where this person goes by not even having the proper evidence to deduce where he carries his iPad with him. So to you smartphone yes, but smart responder no, and I render your argument invalid.

W/o the iPhone we would've never gotten this far in mobile technology, there may be Apple haters, but we all have to admit that the iPhone started it all, and most if not all of us once thought that it was the best device in your life. And also why didn't your friend jailbreak his, there are much better things to that replace the iPhone's "multi-tasking", I forgot what they were, since I haven't used an iPhone in so long. BB should just go die in a ditch already.
Personally I will never consider having an iPhone just because I'll feel like being in a prison. You cant even have a widget, for god sake were in the 21st century...
The same way I don't like tablets, whether it's an android or apple. First of all you have to hold it with 2 hands, you have to carry it in a bag and finally its really annoying while browsing when you have to click on a link in the middle of the screen.
I read alleged specifications of the SGS3 and I don't think that I'll consider getting rid of my Note for it. Smaller screen, quad core yes but on the other hand we all know that it will take ages for developers to fully take advantage of it.

I run into people all the time who see my phone and have no idea what it is or even that it's a phone readily available from ATT here in the US.
They have no idea. Most people actually like it and want one. A handful think its HUGE. I am so used to it don;t find it big. I find the iPhone and my SGS2 extremily small now.
It appears Samsung really doesn't push this phone like they did the S2 and now s3.
I am beginning to wonder whether or not a "Note II" will be released.
Anyone have the same experience when other's see their phone?
Yep here the same, a lot of ppl i met did not know that device here in Germany as well. 10% think its to huge but i tell them in even 3 days after i got my SGN i never touched my other SGS1 and SGS2 incl. the SGT7
Well first of all remember that 80% of the population barely pays any attention to gadgets. So it's not suprising that a relatively new device like the Note is still not well known. I guess it also depends on the level of promotion. Samsung ran the Superbowl ad but I don't know how heavily advertised it's been after that.
In India the Galaxy Note has been massively promoted right from the start, something which surprised me at first. However it's been a big success and even regular people seem to be aware of it. Whenever I show it to people, the reaction is generally very positive.
I don't think there is any question that the Note has been a big global success. I think there will be another massive round of promotion around the Olympics and I will be surprised if sales are less than 10 million at the one year mark.
There will definitely be a Note 2 though possibly it may not come this year. There isn't much serious competition yet in this category and Samsung may decide that the Note will continue to sell well. In that case they may postpone the Note 2 to sometime next year when they could ship with Jelly Bean. My guess though, is that the Note 2 willl be released around November this year.
yeah in India, Samsung has done proper marketing for this phone. It has sold well too. I see a huge number of people using it here..
Most people I meet, just look on and are surprised GNote fits in my standard trouser pockets! Confused with a 7" tab.
Hi all. I really hope that a Note II comes along. I'm absolutely loving my GNote. The size is perfect!! I'm from Trinidad and the reactions that I've had have been split 50-50. For everyone that wants one, someone else thinks it's massive and they wonder....how can that fit in your pocket?!? Silly question really...standard pockets have ample room for the GNote. Unless you're a chick....or a guy who's metro or something....
Here in the Netherlands there is an amazing amount of people who have the Note.
I see them literally everywhere.
Sammy has advertised a lot on T.V. and bus stops.
It's unbelievable, they keep popping up.
Although it is a device not so hard to miss right
In Malaysia, Samsung did a great promotion. My company have around 40 staff, we have 7 staff using galaxy note including myself.

Here in Belgium i'm the only one in my surrounding who has one.
Commercials do come but rarely.
The reactions are they make fun of me like, wow you have brought you'r tv ? and so on, i dont think its funny but hey, everybody who steps out of the circle will be mucked i guess ?
I just went to thailand and there is a ginormous billboard ad for the note outside the Bangkok airport.

People who say that Note is too large, do not have it :d
Everybody is a comedian these days
There was a report of 250.000.000 note sized phones by 2015. I guess it will be the note 4 by then. Apparently from more manufacturers.

That's so true I'm also the only one in my surrounding who has a Note and they all make fun of me.. "Whoah you bought yourself a boat!"
It's sad that the advertising for the Note hasn't been that big in our country.. people don't even know what it is & that's a damn shame.
it takes a special sort of person to have a note - it is so large that it is a statement about your confidence and knowledge of technology
i look upon those with smaller devices with pity
and i drop change for people with a windows phone...

I bought one because one of my collegues just bought one, I was damn impressed and the Note is just what I needed.
But they do make fun of it indeed, at bars they ask me why I brought my laptop.
I mostly answer that I can't afford glasses or an iPhone.

With any luck, there will be a Nexus Note.
