I'm normally not one to run out and pick up a device right away, but this one was calling to me. Though I have to admit I'm a little worried is that there seems to be a almost no options as far as cases go. There's the official Acer one, and then there's a +$100 case, but as far as cases built for the A500 that's all I can find. Is that fairly common for a tablet that's been out as long as ours, or is it a sign that ours' will not be very well supported by the accessory makers?
I just bought the crappy Acer one. It's better than nothing. I for one hope otterbox makes one.

yes indeed I have the commuter on my Inspire.
I just posted to the Otterbox facebook wall asking if they planned on making one. Maybe if enough people also posted they might take notice.

Here in India, Samsung is going bonkers with advertising campaign for note. You see it every day on almost all satellite channels. It has reached the point where people have actually started to recognise the phone in public. Everyone knows its Note.
Kinda feel bad as its not something rare or unknown beast that surprises people anymore.
Spewed out using effin awesome Note.

Lat time I traveled in Europe I had three! One for my Oz account with my email / WiFi & contacts, one for my UK / Europe account (because Oz account charge a fortune over there in most countries), and one Sat Phone for use when I was at sea in the Med.
It got so bad I almost gave it all up and went of a Sat Phone all the time, but the reception is useless inside any building.
My neighbors jaw dropped lookin @ my phone..
Funny, I keep explaining to others comparing the same with iPhone, for me its my first Android phone, and I am running ICS and end up showing stuffs pretty much and there will be a crash or something crazy..!! lolz, though after two days I feel other phones are so tiny.
Now imagine this: i show my note and everyone asks:" how much did it cost? " and i simply say:" it was free... Won it in a contest on Stuff.tv site"
And everyone thinks this: Damn you bastard... I never win anything!
And guess what? I already made new friends because of it LOL

The only stranger who ever gave my Note more than a moment's glance was a guy I was sitting beside in a seminar. I was using it both to take notes and record audio, while he was using his GS2 to record, and one of the Galaxy Tabs (I think 8.9) to take notes. He was looking over to it constantly, surely with the thought that it must be a great combination of the two devices.
As far as non-strangers are concerned, my wife (an iPhone 4 user) is jealous about damn near everything I've shown her on it. She might end up with the pink or white Note.
I was really surprised with the amount of positive feedback that people gave to the note, including iPhone users etc.
Something interesting I noticed was that at my campus there seem to be a lot of folks with a phone+iPad or phone+playbook or any other tablet etc. (even my gf falls into this category). It just seems sort of silly to me to carry around two devices everywhere.
To be fair, though, I would never use the Note as a primary note-taking device, and have definitely seen iPad users use their devices for this purpose. Like some other users have mentioned, a 6" screen would be just fine in my book, as long as it still made calls.
However, if I didn't have a stereo bluetooth headset I would notice the size of it when using as an actual phone much more...
Ha. How about this one, I was on the phone with the Note on Thursday afternoon in the foyer of our business complex (talking to ATT nonetheless) and saw a Guy walk past me looking right at the phone and is massive size up to my ear and COMPLETELY forgot to open the door to go outside and slammed right into it.
I laughed and said holy crap bud you okay? He said nothing and ran out the door!
This is what the Note will do for you.

Yesterday my friends made jokes about exactly this situation all evening long - and yet could'nt resist to playing arround with it. It got the attention from both Galaxy (SI & SII) and iPhone users...
Hi,..guys,.
I was just wiping my phone with microfiber cloth and to my sharp eyes...just above the power button...I stumble upon an object that is stuck between the bezel or the bezel it self has a flaw?. it measures about 0.5cm straight vertical line. I tried to take it out with a paper ...it's the only object that is thinner to pass thru the side of the bezel...but the object wont budge. or maybe it was the plastic bezel it self. Can I return this phone? And get a replacement?
Pretty sure that Google wouldn't replace the phone as its physical damage and it isn't necessarily defective by any means. Just get a case and cover it.

I think it's a manufacturer's flaw....that object wound't be there so deep...at first place. or maybe it's the plastic bezel it self. Well I payed for a phone that doesn't come with a flaw right? So that's my justification.

I don't know what it is or how it got there. You're best thing to do is to ask them to see what they would do for you. You didn't notice it until just recently it could of due to user fault. The bezel affects absolutely nothing on the phone and is a cosmetic problem.
Like again, just contact them and see what they can do. No body here can say otherwise

Not only does that phone need to go back, you should also start an online petition and force Andy Rubin himself to answer for why a 0.5cm line could possibly make it through Quality Control.. Google fails us again

Can't blame them. They had to meet supply for its demand. At least on a good note they have a really nice rma. You get to keep your phone while they send your replacement in with a temporary charge. When they receive the original device they take the charge off.

Every device or product made will have some sort of manufacturing defect. Nothings perfect. What matters is how the company responds to it. Like I said, they have a good rma service and they should be able to take care of your problem
Production for Nexus 4 is done in South Korea not China. They don't use child labor there or overwork them on ridiculous hours.

Temporary charge so they assure you that you send your device back otherwise you'd be charged with two of them. You'll get your money back.
I don't understand why you make such a big deal about it and then you're worried about a TEMPORARY charge? It's there so you don't keep two N4s.
For units that have been damaged after delivery, you may be charged an additional restocking fee of either 25% or 50% of the original purchase price based on the severity of damage. If we receive a return which has been damaged beyond repair, we may return the item to you without issuing a refund.

YES!!! I'm not Stupid posting this DAMM, not doing anything, this is not my first Android Device,
You probably just got it from a shop with a bad batch of Nexus 7 FHD units. We have a "family/free4all" Nex here, been using it for 2 months and is in perfect working condition... I'm even thinking of buying my own.
All companies will have this sort of problem not just Asus because of the way they do Q.C. now (or should I say lack of it for some companies). My only advice when buying one is try asking for the latest revision and latest batch. I've personally never had any problems with Asus, infact, my old 2012 Nex is running fine as well, same with my 4yr old RoG motherboard.
I love my N7 . Despite its issues, its money I already spent and forgot about spending a while ago now.
Great device for under 300.

Usually if a tablet has a problem with the screen, that gets noticed pretty quick. Why not just return it to the retailer instead of dealing with RMAs?
I'm sorry but the people claiming they have a flawless device, are they manufactured in September?
cause if it isn't and it's a July/Aug batch then you're just ignorant...

I do find the glass on this is more prone to scratches. It has a quite a few tiny scratches on the screen that you cant see when the screen is on. It is pretty strong, since it didnt break when it was dropped face down onto concrete
So for those without problems, are you 100percent faultless...without random stuck touches and very random ghost touches and non responsive touches?
Mine is pretty perfect but it does have random instances of issues. Turning on the show touches option u can see the stuck pixel sometimes. And in some games its weird when u can see touches but the game doesn't recognises it. Kindda feels more software than hardware to me
I dont know if this is the first "gate" fiasco for this phone but it definitely sounds like the glue is coming undone! Worst part is that I just pulled the phone out of the box. Everybody better check their screens. Im calling it Glue-gate

Kind of true and kind of false. Some of these stores are 3rd party retailers. They have their own inventory and at times have their own promotions. For example the one near my house smells and looks like T-Mobile, but it's owned and operated by a different company.

I've heard this from more than one source, it seems like the GG5 is less prone to breaks, but more prone to scratches. On a hardness scale I seen it got scratched at 3 and the S7 edge was like a 7 or 8. Mine is sitting in the box til I get my Xtremeguard and either The Spigen I paid for, or the promos Rinke sent me to review.
