I know this sounds like a fanboy comment, but in all honesty, the note 2 is the greatest phone ever. Like what michael Jordan is to basketball.
It has double the battery life (if not more), better screen, much smoother, better SPEN with a working handwriting. I hated the aspect ratio change at first but it's starting to grow on me. Besides, being thinner makes it "alot" easier to hold.
Edit: One more thing, No BLACK CRUSH/CLIPPING

Hi,
Coming from S3 & I'm not looking back
You will appreciate the battery life & much more :thumbup:
Guys notice that it's not even hot while using 3g voice call/surfing compared to S2/S3

You could easily sell your Note 1 for around 300 dollars, upgrading to the Note 2 for free.

Completely agree wih all of the above. Best phone I've ever had, a nice upgrade from my note1.Ive been using smartphones since the first kyocera phone/palm combination in the early 90s. First phone I've had in last 3-4 years, including a brief iphone stint, that I didnt feel after a couple weeks that I'd entertain an upgrade in 6 mos if something better came along. Really nothing of any significance lacking on this phone.
battery life is insane, performance is stellar, running jellybean, specs to the roof, big a$$ screen, BATTERY LIFE AGAIn cause its really impresive.
totally worthy...
its truly a next gen device.
much better sound.
much better battery life...
grearer screen
an accurate s pen unlike Note 1.
even b8gger screen.
16:9 ratio to make it EASY to hold....
i could just keep going xS
I was going to upgrade for sure from my international note 1 as soon as at&t launched the Note 2, but now that I flashed jellybean the Note 1 feels like a whole new phone! Jellybean in its self is an upgrade! I will try to hold out as long as it can but as everyone here states, it seems the Note 2 is a beast of a phone.... So I guess I'll have to see if I can resist when I actually touch the device! But seriously if you have the international Note 1 definitely try jellybean.... You won't be disappointed!

Wow.. thanks for the reply's... now I really can't wait. I'm using Straight Talk/Att Sim right now in an At&t Note. It's tough knowing I could walk into Tmobile tomorrow and grab one for $650 and unlock it and use it. My only problem is I'm wondering if I'll be better off with the At&t version.. for coverage reasons.. I'll have to check out radio frequency's and how easy it is to unlock the tmobile version. I figure I'll get about 300 for original Note and I'm gonna sell my Nexus 7 since I almost always reach for my Note first, should get 175 or more out of that then it'll only be 150-200 out of pocket! can't wait..

Oh, hey thanks. Sorry about that. Nothing was being advertised and I also complied with the forum guidelines thread, so I thought it would be helpful and OK. Can you advise if there's any policy against using the image of Malaysia's Celcom logo as a user's "MORE INFO"?
1) what happens if you need to perform a battery pull?
2)How is the speaker on this compared to Galaxy Nexus?
3)Biggest gripe minus LTE?
Thank you for the responses very much. So much on the fence to this phone or not.

Really though, if you can get your hands on one, you'll be happy.
1. Answered above
2. Never owned a galaxy nexus, but yes speaker is loud and clear
3. battery life. A custom kernel should fix this, but I haven't gone around to root it yet. Maybe a software update would help

It's what happened to me when I wanted to order one. I decided i wanted one and BAM it went sold out.
Then luckily a hour later, Google Play Store says its not sold out and orders resumed
Right on guys thanks for some responses. I'm at a Christmas party playing rob your neighbor. I think I'm going to get it or s3 I just hate that F N button on S3

I think the specs are great. If I can get 3-5megs I think I can be totally happy on at&t. It will work at my property and that means a lot. I've been at Verizon for a very long time makes me nervous leaving. Even though I know GSM is the way to go

I would certainly help developers that will actually own this phone if they wanted me to, but as far as getting this phone myself, the answer is probably not.
At least without me, your device won't have a cheesy code name like r2g2.
Considering the fact that this phone is going to be on pretty much all the carriers, it should be good to go when the time comes to development.

Hey there, how about CM/AOSP Support on this phone. I dont really see through this whole story with the Qualcomm/AOSP Problems.
The reason why I'm asking this question is that I dont want to make the mistake and buy a phone which will not get a cm stable version like the SGS2 I had so far....
Maybe someone can exlain this stuff to me. Thanks for your replies

This phone will suffer from bad timing like the optimus g. This phone should have been released earlier this year. Most people that love specs and raw power plus big screens are already set on the note 3, I like this phone but to buy it over the note 3 I can't see happening. Hope lg put in a good or decent camera because I love there phones but the optimus g camera was horrendous.

Totally agree with you on this. This phone will definitely suffer due to the note 3 being announced on September 4th. They will have the same specs but the note 3 has the stylus and more options to it.

Like a removable battery and sdcard slot. That to me means a lot. I hate having a battery I can't remove and/or upgrade. I rather buy a cheaper phone memory wise and be able to put a sdcard in it. $100 for an upgrade from a 32gb to a 64gb is just crazy. I can buy 2 64gb cards for $100 bucks and have 5 times the memory on hand. I am waiting to find out when the Note 3 is coming out and what it really has to offer to make up my mind.

The Note is much larger though, which will turn some folks off.
it is, but only by .4 inches. Its not like they are comparing the S3/S4 size against the Note 3. Some people will be turned off, but some people might like a bigger screen that has styus. I get turned off by smaller sized screens. Every phone that I have had has been bigger than the last except when I upgraded from the Evo to Evo 3D.
This phone will be fine. LG is quickly becoming Samsung chief competitor. They too make the Smart Tv's which integrate with the phones, and are basically able to match Samsung step for step. There are people who cannot stand Samsung for whatever reason and will be all over this phone. HTC has always been my preference but I'm gonna give this phone a thorough once over and may jump on board the LG wagon.

The launch time could be a blessing or a curse. The pro is that there aren't many flagship phones (read: not phablets) being launched right now and thus this will be ahead of most things on the market, unlike in Spring, when HTC and Samsung both release products with nearly identical specs. Unfortunately for LG though, this could mean people will wait for the next "Galaxy" or next HTC device (HTC 2? HTC One Jr.?) or maybe next Xperia.
Came here cuz I'm wondering about development too. The OG actually has a lot of development and development is just getting started in the GPro. Based on latest Note 3 rumors (take this with a grain of salt) the G Pro can hang with it and it is significantly cheaper. Being on all carriers will help the attraction. Just my 2 cents.

Would get, but I don't have enough money for this :/ If someone donated one that would be awesome
personally, i'm sick of the lag that samsung had in the gs4 and I don't really expect the note 3 to be any better. besides, I've got too many damn samsung devices hahaha time to move on. never had an LG though!

What options you mean? And stylus, why you may need stylus simultaneously with CM/AOSP, there's no wacom drivers for stylus AFAIK so flashing CM makes NoteIII stylusless. Am I wrong?

Yes. Don't forget that G2 is bigger than SGS4 only by .2" and Note III bigger than G2 only by .4" So no big deal in reality. BUT Note III will have lot heavier bezels and therefor will be more bulky and not ergonomic and less gripfriendly
Well we don't fully know what the note 3 will look like exactly, we only speculations so far. The G2 will be good for me though. But honestly I wouldn't mind a note 3 because my next upgrade is November. That's the only reason. But I would really like the G2 because I am in love with my GPro.
Lol, I sound like a kid up there.

Anyone have a vzw note 3 then pick up a g2?what did you think? How's the reception? I'm getting irritated with dropped data ect.
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
I came from a GS3 when they were running the free after instant rebate promo.
The G2 does have a more reliable signal, possibly a little stronger too.
I dont know if it is a big enough reason to switch...it could depend on your location, etc.
It is a fantastic phone though. I dont have the urge to crack flash either with all the UI customization possible witb stock.
Did they patch loki yet? I'm missing aosp and I meant to say I have a note 3. I have a nexus 7 just seems the note and 7 are too close in size. How's battery life?

If you are willing to trade a Note 3 for an LG G2, contact me.
Sent from my LG G2 using xda app-developers app
I did the opposite where I had the G2 and dumped it for a Note 3. If I'm being completely honest, I think the Note 3 is a better overall phone with more advantages. But of course it depends how you will use your phone.
I owned the G2 for a month, so I think I had a pretty decent sample size to give my opinion.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I honestly don't think they are even comparable, because of the size and the S Pen.
Sent from my LG G2 using xda app-developers app
It mostly depends on what you want to do with it. I have the original Note on ATT. I decided on the G2 over the N3 because of all the nonsense Samsung is getting into with not allowing us to flash and customize OUR devices. Since you are on Verizon, the vise is even tighter on you. Seems us GSM guys have it a little easier. Good luck with your decision.
Is this another Note 3 vs G2 comparison thread?
Aren't people getting tired of comparison threads getting locked?

I don't think you are up to date. The Verizon Note 3 has a bootloader exploit, custom recovery and custom roms already. In short, it's good to go.

I wouldn't call safe strap an bootloader exploit as much as a work around. Still no way to allow custom kernels

dont forget the thanks button if I helped out!!
But I worked with G2 , such a comfortable phone. Nexus camera is poor! But the design is perfect. Z Ultra is the biggest and lovely. But I have xperia sola and t and SP , they have poor quality on screen and camera. I really dont know

This has nothing to do with this forum at all, this forum is here to ask questions and get help with the Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
Asking what you would buy instead of the Note 3 Exynos doesn't excuse the thread.
