Took me a couple of seconds to find the Note in the nightstand picture.
I figured we needed a happy review around here with all of the negative reviews coming out!
wife has had the note since it first came out
gave her **** for a while but really must have been jealiously
can't wait to get my note - only thing that might be a downer is the screen resolution compared to my HOX but im sure will just take getting use to
You won't have any screen resolution issues ..
You'll be amazed how good the note looks, and you'll wonder why you waited so long.
And welcome too the note forums .....g
Good call slacker, now get in tge kitchen! Jk =P

can you still update these phones using kies? will be on straight talk so no OTA updates i assume
i just got a lumia 810 about a month ago and gave my wife the note thinking it wont be hard taking it back since all she has been doing is make fun of the size and not even wanting to hold it for more than a second. although i like windows phone 8 i have nothing but regrets. now my wife is being a ***** and wont ****ing give my note back. yea. i called her a *****. im pissed.
i know once people use a galaxy note for at least a couple days, they will get used to it. I was hoping she wouldnt be one of those people. **** it. I was wrong.

I got my note off eBay last month. I use straight talk and had to update with kies. No ota was available for me. Update to ICS went fine but I was my data didn't hallways work even with recommended ucle2 radio. So I tried a couple cm and cm10 based ROMs and data has been fine. I don't know why I had problems on stock but am glad is now working correctly.... plus it was a good excuse to play with the phone
Yup in the same boat, my baby mama did the same thing. I cant tell much of a difference between hox screen and note (a side from the obvious size lol) htc has been a big let down for 2012. Lets hope 2013 is better because HTC does imo make the best phones in terms of build quality not that it matters I am with my gs3 for another 18 months lol

Note 2 has bigger and brighter screen, and longer lasting battery than S3. Other than that, they are very similar.
DNA doesn't have a removable battery or allow you to add more storage. You're pretty much stuck with 16gig, which is what the Note 2 comes standard with, but the Note 2 allows you to expand up to an additional 64 gigs.
This topic HAS been beaten to death...but the Note 2 still wins
Sent from my Inverted Beans ROM @ 240 DPI
Don't forget the s-pen! That's the main reason I went with the note (along with screen second and battery third; and wanting to leave iOS - unrankable).
You might also wait until march to see what the S4 will offer. If you dont want to wait, most people a very very happy with their Note 2. I especially love the Note 2's battery life.
Whatever your choice is, good luck. And please search before you post. There are several people that dont mind helping, but it can be frustrating to help those who dont help themselves.

The SGS4 is likely 6-8 months off at this point. Their last release was in the summer, and every release before that was in the summer in the US (late spring internationally). If you want a phone now, I'd say get the Note 2, if you can wait, this coming summer/fall looks like it will be amazing
Well as of right now that's a rumor that the s4 will be out in March. Also I have a lg revolution which is the worst phone I ever bought

The international release has been 3-4 months before US Carrier release so far, so the earliest you'd see it is June/July in the US on VZW.

Lol I remember selling that phone when I worked for Vzw. It was great at the time but now...well you already know. I got my note2 on Xmas eve and I can't think of any other device I would own at this point. The spen opens up so many options. I find myself officially spoiled after owning this. No other phone on Verizon in my opinion can rival the Note2 unless you can't deal with the size.
Even Verizon and lg said the phone sucked. That's why the released the spectrum so quick

I wasnt saying the phone will be out in march. I said wait until march to see what it will have to offer. I was referring to it being announced in march. Either ar MWC or its own event.
Just to be clear: I agree the S4 will more than likely not be available for purchase until July in the US.
On a side note: my gf cousin works for a company that plans big events for corporations. They have been working on something big for Samsung. He was in town for christmas and was pretty much on the phone (ironically an iPhone) the whole time having teleconferences with Korea. My guess is the S4 but they dont get told the actual product until a couple of weeks out.

I think the Note 2 is the best phone out right now. All phones have compromises. S3 only has 1gb of RAM, DNA doesn't have expandable storage and battery life is so/so.
I've only had the note 2 a few days, but I've been a little disappointed with battery life. I'm coming from a Rezound with extended battery (2750mah). The battery life is similar to that and the Rezound got bashed for poor battery life. I was expecting a little more. Guessing it might get better after a few charge cycles. I find myself having to charge about an hour a night. The good thing is that it is a 2amp charger so it charges fast.

The S3 and the Note 2 should never ever be compared. They are totally different devices in almost every way possible. Not bashing you kintwofan, or anyone in particular, just saying these 2 devices should not even be in the same sentence.
It's more like DNA vs S3/4, or do I want a mini tablet with a Wacom pen.
Personally at this point I recommend you wait another month for the S4 reveal and see if that floats your boat OP. I would never recommend an S3 to someone, it's 2013. Especially not a US variant S3 which has horrible specs compared to most devices released in the last 6 months. So you want someone who owns a Note 2's opinion OP? Wait a month.

Im on Clean Rom, and since the phone is near perfect, hasnt really been a need for any of the devs to do any work.
I have both the Note 2 and S3 and prefer the S3 over the Note. Both phones are great, but I personally like the S3 better. The S3 is stock / rooted and the Note 2 is stock / unrooted which may have something to do w/ it. It seems there's more to do with the S3 as far as the Dev community, it's not too big and I have never had any issues with it. I've had the Note 2 for about 4 weeks now and sometimes it won't send a text message until I restart the phone.
Who has received their phone shipping confirmation yet? Just got off the phone with Verizon and they wouldn't allow me to upgrade my shipping to overnight... What is that about @verizon? Please keep the thread on topic.
Mine has a delivery date of 10/10. I'm pretty sure thats the day its released.

Mine automatically came with overnight but I think it had to do with ordering through a business account.
You should get it a day early I believe. I think if I remember correctly I had regular shipping on s4 pre-order and got early so should be fine

Same here. I ordered slightly before noon on the 6th with a business account and I am still showing 10/10 with no email either. I'd expect I would be in one of the early batches.
Got mine pre-ordered this past weekend. Was able to get upgrade and keep unlimited data. Yipee! Verizon has said even though it was a software glitch, they were going to honor all upgraded that were placed and approved. Shows shipping by 10/10 but I've heard leaks that they will most likely ship earlier. I've had the Note since a week after release and it's been great. I still use it daily and it's still in great shape. If the Note 3 life is similar I will be quite happy.
Kinda wondering why Samsung felt the need to artificially inflate the benchmarks ~ http://tinyurl.com/l5jxj2m
So many threads about pre-orders. I decided a long time ago that I wanted to go pick this one up myself. Are you going to get your Note 3 from the store? Post here about your experience. Going early? Was there a line? Plenty of stock?

I'm at my local BB, no one is here! They open at 10am. I will be first in line. I bought the LG G2 last thurs to replace my note 2. Big mistake!!! Once you go Big you never go back.
The G2 felt extremely small, even with the 5.2" display it just felt wrong! I used it for about an hour and I still haven't taken the protective film off. It's been sitting in the box on my desk for a week.
Hopefully it's an easy exchange process and I'm out quickly. I gave my cousin my note 2 in exchange for his upgrade and I've been using the iPhone 5 from my business line.
10am can't come fast enough!!!!!!!!!!!
UPDATE:
2 people just pulled up! They are sitting in their car. It appears we are sizing each other up. I'm pretty sure I can beat them to the front door, they look out of shape! It's raining here, so no one wants to stand outside. This might get ugly!!!!! LOL

I read about your situation in the pre-order thread. That absolutely sucks and sounds like something that would happen to me.
