Samsung Galaxy Note size comparison with HTC Vivid and GSII Skyrocket

I was testing out the Galaxy Note at CES 2012 yesterday and have to say the white Galaxy Note is great looking. I put the GSII SR next to his big brother and brought along the HTC Vivid as well.
The AT&T branded Note did seem a bit laggy, not to bad but I noticed a bit compared to my GSII SR.

Nice someone who was or is there lol. Anyway hopefully the lag is fixed soon, like the international note and did you test the spen calibration?

The international Note "lags" compared to the international GS2 too. Mo' pixels, plain and simple.

LOL, yeah on the road back home. Actually the pen seemed calibrated. Samsung removed the original stylus and they had the pen that will be a assessory which is like a regular pen. It was more comfortable to use.
Also once you were in the application there is no lag using the application, again this could be fixed or not, but its nothing that would make me stop from buying the Note.
Samsung really was pushing the GNote, as it was advertised everywhere.
By the way, there was a lot of attendees with the international Galaxy Note. I saw the blue one and liked the back color blue, but something about the white one that is just calling my name. The white one does look bigger because of the color compared to the black one.

They removed the S-Pen phone dock?

Yeah, the lag is really due to the 3X pixels it has to process. So just have to accept it when compared to the S2. Hopefully ICS will help it out.

The stylus dock is there, Samsung didn't put the pen stylus because at CES 2012 show, most likely they would disappear. Even though in the lobby Samsung had setup a charge station with some Galaxy Note phones to try, and out of all of them, only one had the pen stylus.
Here is picture of the white Note which is looking nice.

Note 2 theory

I've read a lot on here about people comparing the Note to the Galaxy S3. And the general consensus seems to be the same: They love the speed and updated UI but the lack of the S-Pen and smaller screen were the turn offs. Now consider when the Note first came out, the experience was like a larger S2 with a stylus so it makes sense to theorise that the Note 2 will be a larger S3 with a stylus.
What are everyone's thoughts on this?

Nope, that's just some kids imagination, nothing official at all. HTC has been failing lately so I'm much more interested in what Samsung will come up with.

Sgs3 vs SG Note

Hello there
I started this thread to make a comparaison between the two device to help people on chosing the model which more fits his needs
I own both and can't actually decide which one use as main....
Luckily i have 2 telephone numbers so I use both

so far i can elaborate a bit:
Both have ics (the sgnote has a custom icsRocketRom)
they are both very fast, but you can feel the sgs3 has more processing power and it is overall faster
when you type messages on the sgnote its easyer and you end up with faster typing
browsing speed seems about the same
ics version on sgs 3 is more modern and seems better
the battery on sgs 3 seems very good but i feel that sgnote has longer usage
the screen of the sgnote is huge and at the end it makes the main difference between the 2 devices
at the end probably any comparaison is not fair since they are not the same category of device
if they had same hardware and software it would only be a matter to decide : "Do i have enough room to carry a gnote"?

I am in the same boat. Got my .sg3 yesterday but after flashing liquid on my Note I miss my Note some. I think the Note 2 will be the one. Although I am going to use my GS3 as my main phone now

Its just the stock kitkat lockscreen for music. My galaxy s3 currently has it too.

Hey I noticed your reception wasn't that strong, has that been normal for you? I'm having similar reception and I saw we're both from jersey
