You might want to update the title or have the Mods delete this thread so people don't have to read the whole page to see that there is no new S-Pen.
You mean like I just did lol?
Or realize Note 4 came with new SPen with pressure sensitive. I've used it in draw apps & Snote. Pressure affects how the pen fans what you write. Makes cool calligraphy. Old Note isn't as fun now. They cover the new pen on product detail of phone
I saw someone mention somewhere that the tips included are different? Like different pressure.. Anyone have any idea whether this is true or not? I always thought they were just different colors..

I tried. I simply based it on the only article I saw at the time.
I had to actually break out the browser to do it since I didn't see a way to do it with the app.
Having looked at the potential, they could do some really cool things with this spen.
I wish it had a mic and small speaker on it, nothing crazy or fancy. I thought at one time there was a Bluetooth one you could answer calls on but I can't remember exactly

Try the other color.. they have a diferent feel to them, and artists might want to use the other ones. it was confirmed in a note 3 thread that the two tip types are slightly different, and are made of different materials.

Same here...
Also, SGS II was released on May(in Europe), i dont think they would released SGS III only 5 months later unless its not really the SGS III but a SGS I9102 or SGS I9103 or something like that which would be the same SGS II but with some selected less features to decrease its price, as happened with the SGS and their SGS I9001, I9003 and SCL...
Not to mention that i thought the released of the SGS 3 was announced to 2012(one reason, may be to analyzed Iphone's 5 new features and improve them on the SGS3)...even though they obviously may have changed their mind...
i9103 was already launched, it's the SGS2 with the NVIDIA Tegra processor instead of the Samsung's Exynos of the i9100. The S3 should be i9200.

Hello members, so i was reading about the GooPhone that is supposedly patented with the Iphone 5 design in China. They are apparently ready to sue apple once the phone is released.
Anyway it led me to a site that has android/windows/blackberry devices.
Now they seem legit, have looked around and seen that there are some reviews, only negative comments are about the long shipping.
My question is, has anyone here ever ordered from this site.
http://www.fastcardtech.com/
I was interested in maybe ordering a device playing with it for a while, then maybe sending to a dev to see if the components would match that of its US counterpart to see if custom ROMS would be able to be installed.
So please read, look, get interested, and chat about the site!!!!

If she really doesn't do anything on it then I would get out for her because 512mb of ram is the same a an IPhone which has fast enough speed for every day tasks not sure if she will need more than 4GB of space but there is a microsd slot up to 32GB so that might help 1GHz processor is beyond overkill for what you said she does so sure why not!

After some careful research, and some digging into chinese forums. These phones are complete fakes.
It seems that they may not ever make it stateside. They also have IMEI problems, so they may work for a week, but after that they seem to start having disconnect problems. Also looks like the GPS will not work, being that it is based in China satelittes will not transmit here.
I almost bought one today, like 3 times, but after more and more digging, I have decided not too.
This seems to be a complete scam. There are a bunch of sites claiming fraudulent accounts among the site as well.
What seemed so nice quickly slips away.

Ouch... Buzzkill... Guess I should've done a little more digging before posting those sites. BTW, do you have any reference links?
I first went on www.fastcardtech.com/forums and was reading the results of users. Alot sounded pretty upset. Although there are not very many replies, there are some feedback.
I asked a question about a device, and then asked the same question again 2days later, and got a different answer. I will do it again, and get a screen shot so that I can show you all. There was another forum in XDA about the site, there are some saying its legit, others not so much.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561534
Will post back with more.
I am still considering ordering one, just havent decided yet. I know as soon as I do that they will announce the Note 2 for Tmobile.
I have found a few more credible sites, there is,
www.koobay.com
www.exportandgo.com
Upon searching the fastcardtech site brands devices to companies that dont actually have these devices. For instance, I have found the HDC (china phone maker) and they list their products, then you reference the FTC site and there are thousand of HDC branded devices that are not actually HDC brand!
I've seen an apple S4 by them. The screen res is terrible.it had virtually no memory. Build was terrible. Do not waste your money. I'm sure no rom with work on them.

I've been trying to find some of the alternate colors for the Note 3.
I'm on T-Mobile and I noticed they only offer black & white.
After digging a little deeper it looks like none of the carriers have the colorful varieties.
Can anyone confirm this. Can I get the Note 3 in other colors?
As far as I know you are stuck with white and black for the initial offering with pink to perhaps follow. Pink phones don't sell well and require inventory space. Space is At a premium for most retail shops.
Maybe you'll get them when you lot learn how to spell colours!

Gold is Best. Best! Best! Best!
After watching the drop test video, I ended up pulling the trigger on a slim Spigen case. I'm hoping that at least maybe the impact to the case would help minimize shock to the phone a little bit. I know that getting a flip cover to protect the screen side would be more effective, but I don't think that I'd really want to flip the cover open each time I want to use my phone.

No thanks. We're more efficient over here. We're better about removing excess letters that aren't even pronounced in a word.
I'd consider using a pink Note 3 /rebelgade
Also, I personally wouldn't buy one of those aluminum back plates since the phone is designed with its factory plastic back plate in mind. My two cents, anyway.
Just wait a few months that's how Samsung roles.
Color options always come later on, but given its the a Galaxy Note device its not as common place as the Galaxy S line in color options. Still it might happen.
Just wait a little and before you know it just like the s4 we will have a lot of color options in the states

Supposedly it screws up the NFC feature, which I don't really care about at this point. Thought they look pretty slick personally. And for 7 bux shipped, no big loss if it's junk...

Nice troll post.
But, with the amount of kernel development going on behind the scenes in various threads, the second screen for AOSP project, monthly ROMs, the ability to update without losing root, and the many other things floating around the development section, I'm inclined to say you're wrong.
I don't agree that the device is dead, it's still popular and really is a good phone. It's fairly new and LG will keep it updated, so many will continue to use and customize it for a while.
But me personally, I can't wait for the Note 8!!! [emoji3]
