I just saw one in hong kong selling for us$650. Anyone has one? And how do you like it.
The only thing that is preventing me is the battery life... And of course the lack of large community support. I guess 2 things.

Will this device ever be available globally?
Also does it have NFC?

Is it only available in Korea only?
I don't know whether there is a global launch. I saw it from a llace where they sell import goods. Nevertheless, $650, seems to be a reasonable price.
Pretty sure it'll works in hk and us.
This is like better than the galaxy nexus with better camera and memory expansion and hd screen. Man....

With my knowledge, I think it's not a global launch. The vendor might take it from Korea??
It would awesome if Sammy launch all over the world.
yes it worked in HK.. u can even get it cheaper than $650 through Chinese website. this phone is great but just too new and lack of discussions and roms.. most of the mods and themes came from korean community...

An amazing place, laid out just like an apple store. More galaxy Note peripherals than I have seen anywhere. All the cases, batteries, chargers etc and of course the devices. They even run a service of engraving the back case with whatever you want (I got my name written on it!). Fantastic.
I wish Samsung would do this in the US.

Simply amazing. The store does look dedicated to the NOTE as well as other galaxy devices. I would def go to that store if i ever had a chance to. Look at all the accessories, like a kid at a candy store...
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke
Cases with ears, colors, books, wallets, plastic, metal, plain, with stands. Everything.
The engraving was the most fun!

Samsung will be setting up those here in Canada as well, it was already on the local news.
not sure if they have plans for the USA
personally i'm really looking forward to it, finally be able to buy unlocked phones direct from Samsung, and doing warranties straight to Samsung without all the annoying red tapes from the local phone companies
I have seen similar stores in other parts of Asia as well.
It would be great to have stores like this in USA also.
Looks awesome.

Now I want to go to that store badly. Hopefully they start opening some up in the US. Albeit...Apple may sue them for it...depending on how trigger-happy they remaining with suing.

Actually it was pink. I thought it looked awful.
Interestingly they have a note variant with an antenna for TV and an LTE version with the same processor as the internal version. But that's Korean LTE.

I'm Korean, and my wife helps me navigate Korean forums. From my past experience when I had the Dell Streak 5 before my i717, the Dev community was pretty big for the Dell Streak 5. The following and contribution from the Dev community blew up for the Streak. (I used to surf the Dell Streak 5 forum on XDA).
Being that the Note is a native product, I'm sure the dev community is pretty big. If I can get around to it, I will see if they have some good ROM dev going on, and maybe can liason between the Korean community and the English speaking community. (My English is better than my Korean, and my wife is vice versa, so we actually work well together. )
That would be fantastic!

There is someone local selling an unlocked international version on the GS2, with the physical button on the bottom. Is there any differences in the software between this and the TMO version? If I were to buy this, can I flash and root as if I were using the standard GS2?
thanks.
If that is the international version (namely i9100) then that is the standard sgs2. It had more development going on than the other versions of it.

I saw that, and read an article that kept talking about the Nexus 7. I had a G2X that a sold and picked up a Nexus S for $165. I don't like this damn phone, so I'll be promptly selling and using the profit for a top tier phone!
Does the S2 feel like the standard cheap Samsung while holding it? Or does it actually have some weight to it? Coming from LG's and HTC's, those things are heavy.
EDIT: The Galaxy Nexus is supposedly available again next week.

The S2 does feel flimsy when holding it, but you get used to it honestly... Dropped the phone many times, only have one dent on it.

For me it is decent enough to look at and doesn't feel cheap even though it's light weight. Hmmm, you should decide whether you want a fast update (GNex) or better hardware buy slow update (Sgs2). Sgs2 is a great phone but samsung has the habit of updating a device for a year and then stop (not 1 year but you get the point). If i had the chance i would swap my sgs2 for GNex but i'm in doubt since i am a heavy user and i use my phone for gaming. Also, GNex lacks External SD card which is a No No for me.

Well, either way, I'll look forward to the device. Having the international version will be cool since not a lot of people have it, especially in white.
There is also a guy selling a white Galaxy Nexus. not too sure which to go for, same price even.

I don't really care for the OTA's, I'll flash whoever put together a flashable version of whatever OTA is released...
I actually ordered a G. Skill 32gb SDHC Class 10 from newegg.com for my G2X, which I don't have anymore, now with the Nexus S, I have no use for the card! The SD write speeds on this phone are HORRIBLE, about 800k/sec!!!
I'm a fan of the non-carrier branded devices for some reason. My G2X had LG on the top instead of the traditional T-Mobile, and the screen hue while turned off was a brownish color instead of a blueish-gray that the TMO version had. I had one of each G2X's and in comparison, the screen for the LG branded was much more vibrant.
Now I have the Nexus S, again no branding, which is another reason why I want the Galaxy Nexus.
I'm confused, to say the least!
Well, if you don't care about updates then go for the international sgs2 (i9100). Great specs and still one of the best phone in the market.

The S3 is WAY to overpriced, I would just get that, but not willing to dish out around $500 for a non contracted phone.
Oh, another reason to stay away from the carrier branded for me, is that they won't get IMEI/ESN locked by which ever carrier!

Huh? i don't really care to receive Jelly Bean on the Nexus S, the DPI is atrocious on this phone. That, mixed with the screen type don't equal out to a good display. My G2X looked WAY better than this device.
The S2 will get a good Jelly Bean port before the Nexus S will, I'm sure of that.
Hey guys I have had a lot of fun with the Galaxy Player Community and I would love to say thanks to all the great developers like Rueben, tsunura, and Supermaster who have put out amazing ROMs and have been overtly helpful. But the time has come and I need to move on. I was really hoping to assist or independently develop a ROM for you guys before this event happened....But less fate had other plans...
Anyway as the title says I will be selling my Galaxy Player, and if any of you are interested here is the ebay link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/140808670010?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
However, fear not I will still be hovering around the Galaxy Player Forums and assisting you young lads and maidens in your quest for technological development. And if the time is right, I will put out at least 1 ROM for all of you to enjoy.
Anyway I would just like to thank all of you in the Galaxy Player Forum, you all have been amazing....Thanks
Good luck glad you enjoyed my ROM

Yeah if you buy it from the official Samsung site it is $230. But since I am including accessories such as an invisible shield that has already been installed I'm hoping to get at least $210.

you do realize you will be lucky if you can find someone to give you even half what they are going for now, unfortunately any non-apple device is typically unknown and ignored and no one these days will come anywhere near retail, hell i've got stuff (car performance parts) on craiglist for half what they cost new and the few emails I get people are only offering half that number.

I picked up a Used-Like New Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 from Amazon.com Warehouse deals on 07/09/12
for $148.03. When I received it it looked brand new in the box. They had 2 other devices listed in the same
condition at that time for the same price. I just checked again today and they have another one listed as
Used - Like New for once again $148.03. What is strange they have another one listed in the same condition
$189.05. And many listed as Used - Good or Very Good in the $179-$185 range.

I'm including some extra cables and an invisible shield full maximum which was $20 dollars so if the price range is $179-185 the price of the invisible shield bumps it up to $199-205. So if I offer it at the price you gave I will basically be ripping myself off, considering I have the invisible shield and other extras.

Now that there is confirmed news about the LG Nexus [Source], are you guys considering moving from the SIII to the Nexus ??
Don't get me wrong, the SIII is an awesome piece of hardware, but the lack of documentation from the Samsung Exynos team is a well known issue. That, to me, is the most important reason anyone would wanna move to the Nexus.
But I want to hear more opinions as to the advantages as well as disadvantages of the Nexus vs. the SIII.
no...
gonna shift to S4 when it comes......
we have the latest hardware and don't need move on some xx company's xx crap.......

I just wanted to say something similar - of course it will just be outsourced to some company in Asia and will not be very competitively priced (unless you have an internal deal or something) since Google does not want to alienate any manufacturer!
That being said the openness is an interesting advantage (after the problems that I had with my S3 - which I discovered it was a patched version instead of a real IMEI unlock as I thought when I bought it).
LG left a sour taste in my mouth a few years back so I don't think I'm jumping ship, plus the specs leaked so far aren't too impressive.
However that new HTC with the 5inch 1080 screen has me interested...

I just upgraded to a Note 4 and I'm loving it. The Note 2 was an awesome phone and I used it for 2 years but it was time to upgrade. My question is that how much should I ask for my white Note 2? I have an extra S Pen & 2 extra batteries & charger plus some cases. I can figure out how much to add for the accessories but what should I ask for the phone itself? It's near mint & was always in a case....Also, where is the best place to sell the phone: Swappa or eBay? I want to use the one that would sell it the fastest & of course the most...I will be using Paypal only as the accepted payment if that matters?
Thanks!!

I would look to see what one is selling for, on EBay or any of the the other sites that you can buy a used phone and that should gibe you a jump off point for the price. Also, what version of android is on it? Is the boot loader unlockable? Hell, if your not too high on the price, I may give you an offer on it for another phone for testing builds on. I have 2 galaxy Note 8.0s gt-n5110 and that really make it nice for testing out what works and what does not on new roms and mods.

Unfortunately the phone is locked however also rooted....I prefer using Xposed over another rom...It just gave me the freedom to completely customize what I wanted...and it was a nice work around to not being able to install roms with the locked bootloader. I also have a Note 12.2 that is rooted but tripped Knox...however it's stock rooted also...but the tablet is less imperative to be rooted. As for the Note 2...I also have several cases & 2 extra batteries & a battery charger to include with the phone. I figured it would be a great phone for someone's kid...powerful yet cheap enough not to break the bank like a new phone would... Thanks for the information!!
