am I the only one who finds these videos pointless and stupid? amusing to watch sometimes but pointless, nonetheless. Here's a shock, glass breaks when dropped.
>:3 SGS II is pretty durable and in reference to a fall test the plastic actually absorbs impact. Meaning Iphone's glass which is brittle/not flexible takes the full on impact. Meanwhile the SGS II just sorta bounces since it is far lighter/bendy if you will.
I have a wife with a cracked iPhone 4S screen, and I have a beautiful GS2.
Whether or not this is defect with my wife or phone is still up for debate.

Before her iPhone 4S she had a Captivate.
I never heard the end of her constant complaints about the device, so I wouldn't let her buy a GS2. I just don't have the patience.

I guess I can consider myself lucky that my wife is pretty tech savy so for the most part, I dont need patience because she can figure out most of the stuff herself.
The SGS II has Corning Gorilla Glass that is very impact resistant. The screen is not plastic. I'm not sure what type of glass the iPhone has but its obviously not impact resistant...

the iphone is almost fully covered in glass, which means it will definitely break easily. I dont know what kind of glass it has but I dont think it would have mattered much.

Lil ol SG2 is so thin and light it feels like a delicate toy. Light is a great attribute to have when it comes to being dropped . An ant is small, light, and delicate, but you can drop the joker off a second story window onto concrete and it will still walk away. being heavy and made of glass however, is not so great for dropping lol.

I have somehow managed to convince an iPhone 4s user and a Nexus user (both close colleagues @ work) to switch to the AT&T Note just by allowing them to play with my toy. The Nexus user is a Verizon customer that is now seeking to switch to AT&T. That's pretty special IMO.

It does feel good when you show someone your phone and they automatically love it. I had a Dell Streak before the Note and converted 2 people from iphones to the Dell Streak. My dad even got the Streak but he converted from blackberry. Now my dad and i have the Note and we each have showed someone and both people got the Note when it was on sale at frys for $199.

I had a random awkward encounter today, but it still put a smile on my face. I was waiting for my next class and reading xda on my note, when a completely random girl, who I noticed had been standing nearby for about 5 minutes, walked by and simply said "nice phone" on her way into a neighboring class. I only had time to say thanks before she was in her class, but it was cool that she apparently knew what phone it was and acknowledged it.
Not that I'm looking for attention at all, but I love the simple conversations it can start with people, and I think people are really starting to realize how awesome Android phones can be. I enjoy showing people my Note and the awesome things it and Android can do.
With Android in general, I have loved being different from everybody that has an iPhone, which is seemingly everybody at my college. Even more so, I like how the Note stands out even more, as I guarantee not a single other phone on the market would have piqued that girls interest around my school, as all you see are iPhones, nor would she gave distinguished it from being any other old regular Android phone. This phone is turning heads, and people have taken a huge liking to Samsung recently.

I'm still getting uninitiated attention in public randomly. This has carried over to the Note from the Streak.
Like if I'm in a regular shopping-type of center, and just standing around using my phone, some random passerby's will notice me and ask about what I'm holding.
But I definitely think this would stick out most in a university lecture hall type of environment.
From asking some random local at&t store sales reps, they said a good share of both genders have purchased the Note. I initially was guessing that it would be mostly guys buying them.

I really think this is payback and does more good than harm. All of us put together couldn't do much (read our efforts on BBB complaints) but thanks to M$, we may very well get some well needed payback... However, I am disappointed that the ban doesn't effect newer devices. It seems to be effecting only 3G devices... Is this something related to the radio technology?
I don't effing care if Motorola can never sell a single device from now on, since that is what I exactly want. What do they say, oh yeah: Payback's a *****! Hellya!

This is such a non-issue. All Motorola had to do was import enough inventory before the ban took place to cover the future demand.
Slap in the face to Moto, that Google (parent company of Moto) went to Asus to make the first Nexus tablet.............. just saying
My Droid X ear piece speaker crapped out yesterday so I called to get a replacement and they told me there are no more X's in stock which the VZ rep even said he finds that hard to believe. So instead they are sending me a Droid X2. Don't if them suddenly not having any X's in stock has anything to do with the ban since the X was also listed.
I watched the LG CES 2013 trailer video thing on youtube, and general speculation is that the G2 will be announced with a 5.5" screen and bumped up specs from our precious G. What are your thoughts? Will it be a Note 2 competitor, or a G replacement? And how do you think it will affect our updates?

It's called competition. The Note phones have proven there is a market for phablets. I'm going to guess you're not studying economics or business.

Then I guess this will blow your mind: http://t.co/91c3vTNA
I believe with LG's newfound success regarding the G, a direct attack on the Note would be fantastic, as well as possibly a new tablet. The G2 would fulfill the phablet competition that currently hardly exists. The LG Intuition is too wide, but a form factor like our G with the larger screen would be fantastic. Add a pen display, as well as having quickmemo, and the Note has real competition. Considering LG Displays is suing over the Note 10.1 in Asia, this may indeed be their plans in a nutshell. As HTC slowly falls (sad but apparently true), it's time for Samsung to have a true competitor in the Android market. I would love to see Motorola to come out of the blue, but that seems doubtful to happen. LG has an opening, and I think they should take it. I've been a Samsung fan, and still somewhat am (the siii disappointed me), but I think nothing makes products better like competition. The iphone is competition of course, but there needs to be android competition, or devices will get progressively worse.

... I'm not talking about tablets. If I was talking about screens in general, I would be complaining about laptops, desktops, and tv's as well. But I'm not. It's a personal opinion, and a personal opinion of a few others, that a phone doesn't exactly need a huge screen. To each his own if they prefer that size. Apple has a ridiculously tiny screen, so I'm not really sure why they were even brought up lol. Considering I'm a girl, I have naturally smaller hands and have no desire to hold a phone that I need to doublefist. And even some men agree, it's too much.

Sorry, not trying to be nasty. Just trying to point out that just because you (and for that matter, I) have small hands doesn't mean that everyone does, or that there's only one size that the market wants (as Apple seems to believe). Everyone thought Sammy was crazy for putting the Note out there, but since it and its followup have been very successful, it's only natural that other OEMs want a piece of the action. I'd like the big screen (even if I did have to double fist it), but there's no way I'd be comfortable having that thing in my pocket, and I'll be damned if I'm wearing a holster for a phone.
I'll be honest, I can't reach the whole screen of the OG with one hand, but I don't care. I arrange my icons to be close to my thumb, and use two hands when I have to. :shrug:
Didn't mean to offend. :angel:

I'd rock a holster like a fanny pack. :B
Except not, haha. I guess I'm in luck with the whole small hands + long fingers thing (my grandma has always told me I have piano fingers). My only fears of extending my fingers is that it slips out of my hand and falls on the ground. I have a case, but I still use at least one hand to balance it. Can't get too ballsy with this phone.
No new smartphones from LG announced. The tease was a smart remote. Nothing more.
