Galaxy Note 2 short hands-on

Hey there,
I just thought I would share this with you people. I work for a carrier (don't even bother asking which one ) and we received our test unit today!!! It's the grey version and it looks totally awesome. The screen real-estate is just outta this world. I put it side to side with my S3 and looking at them, I became a bit pissed at my purchase as when the Note 2 was announced, I had thought that we would never carry it (ok, I've already said enough)!
I'm sorry I can' really say much but I had it in my hands for about 5 mins...! It was a 16gb model. I witnessed popup s note, popup browser (NICE), the new menu when you pull the pen out...oh yeah and this thing is FAST!
I have no idea about the release date (they wouldn't tell us), although I find it a bit strange that we are receiving a unit so soon. I've read on several sites that it would be next November...!

Read properly. November, must be USA

I know what carrier you work for

One question, have you noticed any bugs so far with your "test device"?

You must be in the united states, you said several sites said November ( that's US release month) and you said you didn't expect it so soon ( Europe is expecting it starting this Friday, going on next week). I'm gonna take a wild guess and say you work for.....sprint or at&t but I'm not sure which one

Nothing is ever certain in this world...
I didn't actually have enough time with it (5mins) to notice any potential bugs (and mind you, we only received the phone today). I can ask my colleague who's in charge of the device though to see if he notices anything odd.

Awesome, hopefully it means it'll get released October.
If you're saying you weren't expecting it to come in I'm gonna say you work for WIND, or as someone already said, Videotron. Lol

I do have that info. It seems that even my employer is announcing it on its website so the info is already in the public domain. So here goes: SGH-T889V.
You won't find much when googleing that, except for a reference related to Samsung's Smartview app.

My cousin's sister, well, her best friend has a dog ... the dog's veterinarian has a receptionist whose mom died and the pastor that officiated at her funeral is gay -guess what --> his lover is a TV repairman who fixed the TV of a guy who works in the same building as Samsung headquarters. That guy swears that one day he overheard two lesbians discussing when our update would come - and that date has already passed! So the morale of the story is, don't trust lesbians and don't trust every bloody rumor you hear!

Hey what's with all the naysayers? ! I actually find this post useful and interesting news in my case anyhow. And OP did specify UK!
Anyhow thanks OP. Okay so I'm not in the UK (close though) nor with Three. However I've the international unbranded version, so maybe it'll be released for that version in about a weeks time then the same time Three get it. I'll be on the look out.

I bet he do not know one thing about a 4.3 update.

I never claimed the evidence was correct but its more than most offer.

I am surprised at some of the replies. Quoting 3 UK doesn't mean I work for 3. It is not a hear say thing too as I posted the screen shot of my interaction. Posting it here was only to say that Samsung are definitely releasing an update to 4.3 in a week confused: yeah I don't know what it is)

I was referring to to the man you talk to: "ThreeUK" not you.
The man on ThreeUK is the the one trolling you.
Edit: ask for some detail and you see he do not know a thing, its just a trick to get people to use 3.

Why would anyone sign up to 3 for a 4.3 update?? That's the most moronic thing I've heard here so far.
If anything, the 3 post gives more credence to an update that sammobile and all other unofficial blogs.

Thanks for the info, obviously it's not guaranteed but good to get some kind of timeframe. You've been a member long enough to know there's a lot of simple people about, they are irrelevant, though this could have been tagged onto 1 of the other 4.3 threads.
Cheers anyway

Just to way in, if memory serves the 3 support chat lied to me several times saying the note 2 they sold was lte compatible when only Orange sold the n7105.
Be it miss information to them, or a fraudulent sale, I don't intend to ask them anything speculative anytime soon.

They did for a long tume indeed tell people the N7100 was compatible with 4G and dc-hsdpa and there is a thread about it I with a few other people managed to get our complaints that high they exchanged pur phones for the N7105 version so I wouldn't trust what they say on twitter also Ros is a woman lol

That poll result is extremely expected since I've only seen such hype preceding a phone when Apple was about to release the original Iphone. Apple was in a much better position though as nothing comparable existed at that time ....
Lets just say everyone was wayyyyyy too optimistic about the current speed of progress

Ppl were too gullable regarding the pre release leaks.. If there had been no leaks, I'm sure more ppl would've been satisfied and at worst indifferent towards the new s5

Were discussing the results of a poll in which the majority didn't like it, as far as I can see it was roughly 80/20 split, in the UK this would constitute a majority.

And I said that you can't base anything on these polls. You got those who genuinely don't like the S5, you have fanboys (HTC, Sony), you have trolls ect... If you wanna base anything on something concrete wait till you see how many units the device sell. These polls are meaningless.

Someone didn't proof read.....

Found this on the display in Kroger today, I guess some one was trying to future proof their ad. It does go to show that android 5.0 is designed to work on weaker devices if it turns out to be true.
Sorry that this isn't specific to our n5, I thought nexus users would find it more interesting than anyone else.

Actually this just shows who doesn't read the news and specifically about which phones are going to be getting Lollipop. Moto E is on the list

Perhaps the OP should have posted it in the moto forums, but I am not him.

I was more posting it in regards to the rollout of android l, or 5.0. It hasn't even been officially released, yet even prepaid providers, like net10 in this case, have already updated their advertising to reflect the change.
In my mind, that directly correlated to meaning many phones being updated quickly and less overall variance of android version across the phone world.

They actually did a small bit of research and they probably didn't want to spend the extra money to redo the features. Technically in saying it'll run an OS that's not even out yet, it implies to anyone technical conscious that it'll be upgradable, thereby making it a better buy. Plus it's good marketing saying "this phone is future proof and will run the OS that's not out quite yet."

If you're discussing the Moto E, it belongs in that forum.
