I was just wondering who came from the galaxy nexus and went to the att note and to see if you like the nexus or the note better. Im thinking about trading my note for a nexus.

I just did this yesterday! I've always had nexus phones (N1 to NS to GN), and I always thought they were the best Android experience. But the Note is a whole new level!
I miss ICS, though.....

I have a Gnex and have also had all the Nexus phones but, I just received my Gnote today. I'm still setting things up but, I think I'm going to like the Note better. ICS is nice but, I'm really liking the Gnote. Right now ICS and maybe the display is the only advantage the Nexus has IMo.
I have had the gnote since day one it was fast the first week or so but the more I use it the slower it gets and its driving me crazy. I came from the galaxy s2 and it was way faster. I don't think the S3 processor can handle the 5.3 HD screen. I just know the the nexus will have way more development then the att note and we won't see ics for 6 months.

IF your note seems slow try Supercharger script, it sped up my phone alot and no launcher lag

Also you might want to move apps to your sd as apparently the note has little internal storage

you can count me in on that one
didn't like the i9250 one bit, the T989 or i727 was way better even with the lower resolution screen
now the i717 is definitely beating the i9250 hands down
best of both worlds, all the goodies from T727 + HD screen
specially the microSD support

make sure to also ask for $100 on top of that since the nexus is selling for only $500

Not true
There's space for about 265 apps unless they are all games

I come from the Galaxy Nexus, I miss the notification light, the number of pixels per inch, the soft buttons and ics but that's it. Still, I love my Note more than the GNexus ;-)
thanks for the reply I think I will keep my note for now. The only reason I wanted the nexus was ice cream sandwich.

I don't think I can go back to my nexus now after playing with the note all day. With only 18% battery left, I had to give it a rest. That big screen will spoil you.
I've done this.. I have both running.. Frankly I love he nexus.. So light and quick.. ICS is amazing.
Now. I'm using the note, didn't take me long to fall in love with it. I absolutely love the large a screen. The s-pen is great for meetings and making notes.. I am however anxiously waiting for he ICS update

I had the galaxy nexus thru verizon.....ok phone this note blows it away..who cares about ics.....I left verizon when there insurance dept would send out reburbished phones....2 didn't even work..one had a sunk in screen...the other had the lining under the battery removed and exposed internals...the 3 one came in the mail I took it straight to Verizon. and had them open it up....to there very eyes it would hook up on data but voip (voice calls) wouldn't work with 2 sims cards and them talking with level 2 tech support...that got me out of my contract.....that service dept sucks...they send out phones that dont meet regulations and standards and I proved it to corporate ....no termination fee...and all credit sent back to me....

Just picked up the note yesterday. Coming from a Verizon GNex.
After owning all the newer devices I could get my hands on the note is good in alot of ways as the nexus is. Have to give the note more time and get use to the size adjustment.

I really like my note because of the gorgeous screen but Im thinking about possibly upgrading to the s3 but is it worth it?
Specs wise, S3 is not much better, correct?
Is quadcore worth the upgrade? I heard that the battery life for s3 is pretty good. The battery life for ghetto note is not too impressive.
So what do you guys think?

This falls into the shiny category.
The S3 is new, but has some dev work explosion atm. The note has a huge screen and spen.
Go anđ try a smaller screen for a while, you'll get annoyed quickly.
If you are going to get the S3, import it, as lte in canada isn't really anywhere significant.
I would stick with the note and wait for the note2 or whatever replacement some big dog lets loose.

Sell me your Note if you upgrade!
well i bought my note mainly for the size of the screen
anything less than 5.3 is not an upgrade for me
since you already have a note, all new phones that come out have the advantage of using the latest technology. once you get the s3,in 3 month,something better, maybe even a note 2 might release..... see where im going?? The only advantage is the screen: most new phones have the technology,most dont come close to the note screen size though. Like the 2020 iphone might fly in the sky on its own, but still doubt it will have at least a 5.3" screen (since they only make one phone and it has to appeal to ALL of its users)

I might could work up a "upgrade frenzy" for a Gnote II since, by the time it would be ready for market, it should be ready to intergrate enough new tech with even a sweeter 5.3" screen to make it too enticing to ignore. Until that day arrives, I plan on teasing as much pleasure from this gspot. ..(damn spell check),um er, from this gnote..as can be had by mortal man...... : ) ....

Contract coming up soon. Do I wait for note2 or go for s3?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I think that if you have patience and you prefer a larger screen, wait for that Note II is going to be the world's best instrument.
Wait for note 2 if you can?

When is note2 out? Any official dates yet??
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Wait for the note 3
The Note 2 wille be introduced begin August, available september/october 2012.
IMO the note is just too huge. Plus I will be honest.. I live in NYC and ride the subways with tons and tons of people everyday.. I notice things about them, what phone they have or what tablet or gadget they are using. And honestly... I mostly see women with the note A LOT more than men. I'm trying to think if I have even seen a guy with a note... yes I have like 3 or 4 times since it was released.. but have seen countless women with them. I have a theory about this too.. I think it's because guys really dont want to carry it in their pocket, and it fits perfectly in a purse. lol

Ima Dude, and i will be getting the Note 2........the note fit in my pocket just fine.
i do agree with the purse statement, its the reason i sold my mom on the LTE Note.
I dont know for you actually, but note is way too big for me....
Note 2 will be slimmer and smaller in size than note 1, though with a slightly larger screen.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Guess I will try out the original note in store and see if I think its too big.
Out of interest. Those that are saying go for the note. Is that down to any issues you have with s3? Or just that note2 will have a a better spec?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Bump... What are people's issues with S3? Anything to put me off getting it? Or is it awesome. Would particulary like to hear from people who came from s2 on improvements?
I like the led notification, but what about the speaker, is sound muffled like in s2 when placed flat down?
Any who jumped ship from the note for the s3? Worth it? I absolutely love my note and im wondering if its worth it. Don't know if i should switch...

Well, there's going to be a Note 2 later this year, and it should have similar specs to the S3 with an even larger screen than the OG Note.

I just sold my Note i717 and am happy with my decision.
However, I am one of those who was never able to get used to the immense size of the Note, so if you like the overall size of the Note (or if the overall size isn't enough of a problem to outweigh the benefits of the huge screen), then you probably will want to hold off buying anything until Note 2 is out.
From as objective a standpoint as possible though, I have yet to find any major flaws with the S3 and although I that I was just downgrading the size of the device while making a lateral software move, I was wrong; the software additions on the S3 as well as the form and function of the S3 are top notch to the point where it's almost hard to believe both phones were released in the same calendar year.
Not sure how much that helps you as it seems like so much rambling when I reread it, but.... Lol

I would prefer note 2. Note 1 has basically the same innards as s2 except the size. If buying new, buy a stronger beast..
SII is quite good enough. If I were you, I would stick with SII.
Note 2 is a much better option than the original note. If you can afford it, then Note 2 is the way. It's much better than S2 and the original Note combined together.
If u could afford the note2 i would have the s3. I wiuld have tge 4s but i dnt like how limited the software is.
