Ir seems that Verizon released two new colors for droid maxx , matte black and glossy red. But with a big difference they come with 16gb instead of 32gb
What do you guys think?

I think they had extra Ultra stock laying around and thought they could sell it better by sticking the Maxx battery in it.
Well, I already posted about this in another thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51994561
But I think that Verizon isn't dumb. They know how many of the devices that they sell. They know that newer devices from HTC, Samsung and LG are probably selling well at the same relative price, so they can sell more Maxxes to people who might be more price-sensitive than looking for the latest and greatest devices, so they'll sell them at a lower price for the same great battery life with less storage. And, as I said in the other thread, at this point I'm only using 8 GB of storage anyway, so I could just barely scrape by with a 16 GB unit if that was the only choice that I had.
I do hope that they keep selling the current "black" 32 GB model, but I haven't been able to tell if this model was delisted or is just a third SKU with more storage and $100 higher price ($50 on contract.)
Less than a gig free here.

I was excited at first. Then discovered they cut the memory in half. And the red is glossy, no thanks.
Now if the unlock bootloader was available we may have upgraded another line to one of these. With a trade up ($100 vzw credit) and comcast promo ($150 visa, ends 4/31)of course.

Until 6/30 you can do mototradeup
Droid maxx correctly free through comcast with a $200 visa in 6-8 weeks
That's $270-$300 in free money
Not even including the $50 for isis, or the $50 a month you get back, or any of the other deals. I've gotten hundreds of dollars back quite easily.
Even have a $15 off $25 that can be redeemed anywhere you use your Amex or serve card!

Actually cut the storage in half from 32 GB to 16 GB. The memory is the same as it's always been :angel:
That said my 32 GB of storage is a hair short of half full which means if I had a 16 GB version, given the lack of a micro sd card slot, my storage would now be essentially full. So a 16 GB phone would not work for me. Its one of the reasons I went with the Maxx over the ultra to begin with.

That's what I meant.
And actually the droid ultra was remarked as using less storage since it only had 16 to begin with.
They do make micro usb flash drives at least.
Maybe some people could chime in with their actual available space?

It'd be over full, actually. Remember that the installed os takes up about the same 6.5 GB, so you'd be starting with about 9.5 GB free rather than 25.5. I'm using about 7.5 GB myself, but that's mostly because I'm testing two podcast apps and will eventually keep only one.

Anyone else notice this? Kind of strange... What is the new version?
The new version was just announced with a $50 price drop. I think the only difference is the SD card. The new one has a 2GB versus the 16GB of the original.
LOL, Yep, as of yesterday mine shows the same thing.
Kinda silly. Getting a 2gb card now would suck. 16gb cards are expensive to buy seperately. They should call our "old" ones the "better" version. Lol.

Hi guys,
I currently have an S3 and I have a buyer for it, I will be buying the Grey Note II very soon. However, due to the large number of games I have and the increasing file sizes for game data (in particular gameloft games) I would like to go for the 32GB or 64GB version. It is very inconvenient to always run out of space and have to move game data to the SD card. With the size of phone games these days, 32GB really should be the new standard imo.
I already have a 64GB memory card so please don't tell me where I can purchase one of these. I want the Note 2 in Grey with 32GB or 64GB internal memory. Do they exist? Will they ever appear or am I likely to be waiting indefinitely?
Now the buyer for my S3 is getting impatient and he wants it ASAP. I could sell it and buy the 16GB grey Note 2 now, but if there is any news regarding the 32 or 64GB version I will hold out for a bit longer.
Any information would be most helpful.
iphone users will be really jealous.

~i have almost the same case here...but as far as i have heard...the 64 and 32 GIG versions are not gonna be out till after 2012 ends...
Samsung are just about to start releasing an S3 64gb. Doesn't bode well for seeing a Note II anytime soon.
They seem to use the extra memory to even out their sales further into the phone's life, rather than maximize them at launch. Bloody annoying really.

I ordered this: KINGSTON SECURE DIGITAL CLASS 10 SDXC 64 GB
I will update this thread once I pick it up at the post office today
I was in the same boat. I wanted the 64GB with 64GB microSD, but it is really unnecessary. To use that space you would need A LOT of movies on the phone. Movies etc can be streamed from your home computer via the Emit app. You can also use dropbox, so even 16+64GB is moooooooore then enough space.
Im one hoping for the release of the 64gb variant soon.
I think samsung have dropped the ball here.

Grey Note II (FREE HANDSET)
300 Minutes

No, the one I ordered is 3G.
Thing is, I do not intend to use 4G at all yet especially since we can be sure it will cost a fair bit on top of our contracts. I have also heard reports that the battery life takes quite a hit on 4G. By the time 4G is standard across the UK and we have coverage everywhere, I reckon I may have the Note 3 by then...
farfromovin - I agree with you, I think 128GB micro sd cards are literally just a few weeks away now.
If your thinking for waiting before buying the consensus is that is too long to wait for most. We are greedy. But it might still be a good idea as next week ee launch the lte version, this may affect the prices but come November network prices will definitely be affected. Combined you might save £50 in 30 days. This is all skeptical I know so let's say the EV is around £25 allowing for a fall in hype too.

It's funny you say that. I was thinking the same thing. I sure hope so. If this is the case I'd be willing to go that route. Not only is it more storage it's a more future proof solution. In fact the difference between a 16GB and 64GB note will probably be roughly equal to the difference between a 64GB card and a 128 GB card.
... here's hoping.
Got my Note II today, what a beast of a phone. Takes the best things from the Note I and the S3 and combines them, and improves it some. :good:

The XC standard is supposed to be fixed regardless of memory size (up to a limit I forget) where the HC standard was different for each capacity. Wouldn't guarantee it but if 64 works then 128 (256, 512...) should be fine.

I am with Verizon. Will any carriers be shipping the 64GB version? I have pre-ordered it but it is only available as 32GB with Verizon. I think AT&T only has the 32GB variant too. I do not understand why... Can anyone shed any light on this? I want the 64Gb version!

That's probably because it's too expensive. People expect to pay close to $900 for an iPhone and carriers are willing to take the risk on an Apple product. Not so much with any other manufacturers.
Unless it's going to be a few months I will definitely hold out for the 64gb version. I have 16gb now which is horrible.
Too expensive is a load of BS. The price point between 16/32/64 is each one goes up $50-100 so a 64GB should cost $349-399 at most. People buy 64GB iphones though not as many compared to the 16/32GB options. The issue is people in the US are CHEAP, the average user just won't spend the extra $50 to get more storage, they cry they can put an SD card in which is only partially true, you can't put apps on that SD card which is WHY we want 64GB. I guess it will take another few years before Samsung drops 32GB and goes 64GB only
I had high hopes for LTE being the one standard to which we could all balance on but those telco's certainly like to screw us royally and will never agree on anything that takes dime out of their own pockets.

I dont see how it could be too expensive. I bought the HTC one 64 GB from AT&T pre-order with no problems. I actually got a hell of a deal on it too. Did it during the free Media Link promo they had. They took the 99 dollars off the 64 GB which made it like 250 and were supposed to re-charge me that when they shipped the media link. Well they never shipped it and never tacked that price back on.

Too little, too late. 32GB is the new 16GB. It wasn't that long ago when phones were 4-8GB. My Note 1 is approaching 2 years old, back then the market wasn't full of 1gig plus games, the camera res wasn't as good etc. To me especially with limited data bigger internal storage is a must.
And as you said an SD card isn't the same when you can't move apps to it, I have a 64gb card for music, audiobooks, pictures and videos and I still barely get by with the 16gb internal storage.
Not that I myself will actually use it...But the Note3 is said to be able to shoot video in the new 4K format. That's a space DEVOURER right there!

I don't disagree, but if Samsung hadn't removed the 16GB version the US carriers would have ordered those and NOT the 32GB. Like I say we need Samsung to just go 64GB + microSD and make it a big value.
My understanding is 32gb + LTE or 64gb + NO LTE
In which case it's pretty reasonable tradeoff to me...
but then I hear about 4 core CPU + LTE or 8 core CPU + NO LTE - now that is bullsh!t
Yes I noticed that. I wonder why or how they are related...

The color wars are fun to read, but what about size?
even if I did have the 64GB model, it still wouldn't house a quarter of my music library. also, the 32GB was easily available- I just walked into a T-Mobile store on the 19th, asked for the phone, and left 10 minutes later with my Midnight Blue in hand.
I was one of the few lucky ones who managed to get a 64GB from T-Mo on launch day. With that said; I opted for the 64GB because I knew I would be using this thing as a tablet. I've loaded some 1080p movies (I can't find 2K movies...) to show off this display and plenty of music to take advantage of the stereo(!) speakers.
64gb because there is no SD slot so more storage wont hurt.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/32-64-gbs-t2907215
I went with the 32GB for a few reasons. My LG G2 was 32GB, and the only reason I came even remotely close to filling it up, was because I had two full nandroid backups and a titanium backup on the phone with the game "Yesterday" included which is about a 1GB game. I have a fairly simple setup, outside of the stock apps I keep maybe 20 other apps/games on my phone. I keep 4GB of music on my phone just in case I get to an area without service and I want music.
I also figured the 32GB version would be easier to obtain.
How backordered is the 64 GB model from T-Mobile?

Ah thanks. I didn't go back far enough.
$50 extra for double the storage? It's a no brainer really, 64GB all the way!
64 duh
Its driving me crazy not knowing if ATT will ever get get the 64gb version.
I could have waited and gone with the 64, but when I sat down and thought it over, the 32 would be just fine. I came from a G3 and the only thing that took up space was a set of titanium backups and two nandroids; a stock based (CloudyG3) ROM and various flavors of the CM 12 test release. My music is up in the cloud, I back up my pictures to google and I don't really hold on to video files. All things considered, the only concrete reason that I had for a 64 was 'because moar'
So functionally speaking, that extra 32G of storage would pretty much just be a reason for me to just keep crap around that I would have otherwise deleted.
64gb for me but 32 wouldn't hurt since i have an 64 gb sandisk usb dual drive otg.
I would of gone with the 64Gb one if the Stores had it but they didn't so I got an 32Gb Blue one on Saturday. I had to pay $67 for the taxes and JUMP! from my S4 to my first Nexus device for the Stock Android and I love it! the front speakers are AMAZING!! Now I pay $24 monthly for this phone which is totally worth it in my eyes.
http://w2.dane-memory.com/mediastreamer/#&panel1-2
The 64gb is only 7.6% more than the 32gb. Why not? Sure, I'm completely unlucky and haven't even been able to order one yet but hey I'm patient. My rooted rooted S3 is running great so I'm fine with being patient and waiting to order a 64gb from Google/Moto.
To me, this phone is an investment and I plan on it providing me with years of great service like my S3 has. I know down the road I'll regret if I get a 32gb just because I was in a rush and couldn't wait a few more weeks. Also, if I ever want to sell the phone, I'm sure the 64gb will give me a decent little price premium.
Been using a 32gb Note 3 with a 32gb card for a year now and I think I could probably still get away with 32gb alone but I will get a 64gb model just because I'll have it for 18 months or so...
I'm not sure what I'm going to do.
Really boils down to how quickly I want a phone. I have no music and I plan to JUMP to the Nexus 2015 in a year's time anyway.

Hi, because the S6 Edge+ does not have a microSD card slot I am unsure which GB to get. 32GB or 64GB? The 32GB is £110 ($170) cheaper than the 64GB. However, many people have said that samsung phone prices fall rapidly after a month. So should I wait and buy the 64gb or buy the 32GB now? On my previous iphone 6 plus that I just sold, I used 31GB out of 64GB, however I noticed that apps take a lot of space on the iphone. Suggestions are welcome. Thanks!
Wait 64gb.

In my honest opinion, get what you will use. I sell my phones within 6 months to 1 year and I haven't seen a massive resale value difference between 32 and 64.
I personally get 32 on all my devices and it has been plenty good.
Just my opinion.
Ya unless u are use to using massive amounts i wouldnt think the extra 100 dollars is worth it. I have gotten by just fine on a 16 gig iphone 6 plus so im going to prob go with 32 myself

I went for the 64Gb as it was only another £3 per month on contract. I figured better safe than sorry, you just never know when extra storage would be welcome, especially recording 4K video.
