I juts got the Galaxy note, but am very interested in the recently announced HTC One X. Do you guys think that it will be released within the 30 day period I have to exchange out my Note for a different phone?

Hard to find too much appealing in those specs over the AT&T note. Aside from ICS.

I must be blind, I am not seeing a difference in processor or camera in the AT&T version
Edit: oh wait, found it : http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/305954/20120228/htc-one-x-samsung-galaxy-note-mwc.htm
according to this article there is a delay http://www.tmonews.com/2012/03/rumor-htc-one-x-one-s-delayed-due-to-chip-manufacturing-problems/
I got tired of htc, all their bootloader locking rules and stuff like that are annoying+I dont like the design of the phones
If anyone really considers that crap (in my opinion, sorry to offend anyone), i suggest he/she should wait for the Samsung S III is much better.
I highly doubt it. It is rumored that the AT&T variant of the HTC One X has been delayed due to a problem with the manufacturing of the Qualcomm S4 chipset.

Note is the Qualcom S3 while the HTC will be the S4. It should be faster just haven't seen benchmarks yet other than from an Xperia S sporting the same chip.

Smaller screen.
Smaller battery.
NO removable battery.
NO micro SD compatibility.
Marginally better processor speed and camera.
Why would you want the HTC?
My contract is up with Sprint in 6 months. AT&T said they'd "rebate" me $75 to switch back to them.
As soon as the early termination fee from Sprint matches that, I'll be tossing my Evo into the junk drawer that afternoon and getting a Note.
My wife has the Note and I am shellshocked at just how good a phone it is...
The One X looks like a really nice phone but how can you ever go back from a 5.3in screen?
If I would ever abandon my note (not very likely), it would be for the Asus padfone. I owned a transformer and that thing was awesome. The padfone looks to be much better than the One X design-wise, with roughly the same specs. Also, Asus rocks at updating their Android devices.. only ones who get updates faster are nexus owners.
Can't replace battery and no memory card option. Yuck! And I like HTC.

People seem to forget the fact that other phones have smaller batteries because they have smaller screens. You don't need a 2600 mah battery to get the same results as the Note with a smaller screen. Also, I would say the processor and camera are far from "marginally" better considering the processor outperforms the tegra 3.
Also, it will ship with ICS instead if having to wait for this carrier bull****

I thought about the HTC one X. But honestly i am not a huge fan of their design but this one looks cool. But going down to a 4.6 display would prob suck. I dont use my camera that much really. ICS is what intrigues me. Not really worth it IMO.

It will be over priced, have the crappiest display ever and probably the same 800mah battery they have been using in all their phones since the touch pro.
6 months later they will release 3 more versions, 1 won't have a front facing camera, one will lack LTE and the other will have a smaller screen but the supply will be so low only a handful will buy it.
3 months later those 3 phones will get updated with faster processors and less ram and they will all have the same screen size and then they will stick 4 cameras on their note refresh and announce a line of accessories in partnership with jay-z's rocawear clothing line shortly before being bought out by LG.

Sense 4.0 might actually shine on a note like phone, but like all HTC's lately the speakers and the battery would be major problems.

more like a huge textbook instead of note.
when i think htc, i think HEAVY THICK CRAPS!
They just better bring their A-game. I'd imagine them using the S4 PRO, HD screen of some sorts and the usual other jazz. It really comes down to battery life and their software. Software is what's been killing the OneX in all comparison tests.
I'd imagine a name like the HTC One-Scribe or simply Scribe...since it will come with the scribe pen.
Regardless, competition will only make the Note 2 that much better. I personally wont switch to the HTC variant no matter what the specs.

Fine... Maybe HTC is copying the Dell streak lol
Samsung is ahead in the android game. But HTC is a close second and they're trying to get back into the top spot. So why not compete in the phablet category? (tablet phones = small and new market). The more (options) the better I guess. If Apple jumped on the tablet phone category, they would have a huge market.

Since I've gotten my Note, I'll probably always be looking for a 5"+ screen for every future phone ... so I love any future where multiple manufacturers compete in the 5"+ phone form factor.

+1. If Samsung decides to discontinue the Note after the first one, my options will be probably limited. We need more 5 inch screen devices.
I've had software/hardware issues with my last two Samsung phones which is why I haven't purchased a note. Whether it's HTC or another manufacturer building a note like phone it gives me another choice which is good. Competition drives development = WIN.

Interesting find. Though I am disappointed at how Verizon and HTC are handling the whole incredible series. It has become a budget phone, with the qHD resolution, 1.2 GHz S4 processor and all when other phones are touting HD resolution and 1.5 GHz processors. I hope this is priced at $199 because $299 will be WAY too much for this given that it will be outclassed soon. Well, it at least has the latest processor, albeit underclocked, unlike the dinc2...

Hopefully the price does reflect the lower clock speed and screen size, but I'm hoping that the no-so-large screen and underclocked cpu results in some great battery life

And pushing fewer pixels might even make the phone even more responsive. Who knows. I don't mind the smaller screens and the screen resolution bump is about all that could be expected.
LTE is a deal breaker for me. Phone will be in the same situation as the Rezound and not have AOSP. I'd imagine battery life would be terrible as well, wouldn't be a HTC otherwise.

No because I already have 4g and a phone that meets my requirements.

People are acting like they are trying to play crysis or WoW on their phones, in the end they need to remember that its a PHONE and not a COMP.
I would REALLY like to know why people have the need for a quad core phone? A few answers would be greatly appreciated. Maybe dial out faster? Pick up a call quicker? All joking aside, I'd really like to know.
After owning the Galaxy Nexus i will never buy a Samsung phone again, I paid $480 for it and gave it away for free that's how terrible it is!
Plus HTC is coming out with a beast soon so i'm holding off for that
I wouldn't upgrade to a Samsung device due to the radios. I would however consider upgrading to the new HTC phablet or whatever Nexus phone is coming out this year.

Quad cores offer greater performance and also greater battery life believe it or not I'm not trying to run crysis but hate to tell you but that thing you hold in your hand is more of a computer than a phone. We want quad core and two years after that we want 6 cores... And so on. Bill Gates once said 64mb of ram is more than we will ever need now look at us with 16gb. In other words, if we stop pushing, we will never see how great this smart phone technology can be in the future

I have a GS3. It owns the Rezound.
Battery life is about 2x better for me. Signal is very good. Much better than the Nexus. Not quite as good as the Rez, but it is worth the tradeoff.
No lag even on stock touchwiz (which actually is pretty nice).
Thinner & lighter.
Screen VERY visible outdoors.
Meh, I like the GS3 but unless my rezound broke and I had to pay for a warranty replacement I probably won't be buying one... It's not enough of an upgrade in my eyes to spend more than an extra 100 dollars on. It's def a nice phone though no doubt about it. I liked the GS2 a lot as well, and it's still a good phone.
In reality the rezound isn't really that dated yet (eh more so on paper kind of). I mean it's not a 1XL or a GS3 but it's close enough and still has higher ppi and than both, now I'm hoping I can hold out for the next GREAT phone that Verizon gets. Like the rumored HTC phablet thing or the next Nexus if its like a GS3.5ish(or better) type phone.

Note 2 is a good upgrade if you are not looking for faster hardware, but more specialised features like the s-pen.
If you don't need the features this second, I would advise you to stay with your SGS3 'til the Note III comes out in August/September(or just go with the SGS4/other similarly specced phone once it becomes available).
The note 2 is a good upgrade because of the 2 gig of ram thats why everything is faster..alot of people forget we have only 1 gig
Nope, wait for s4 much better since less then half year to go

Are you planning on being without a phone until the SGS4 gets here in April/May? The S4 is better if you want a smaller device, best dev support, and don't need the s-pen. This is all pure speculation though as neither of these devices have been announced.

I believe ergonomics make all the difference between two devices. If you frequent a tablet for daily use, than Note series offer a good fusion of a smartphone and a portable tablet. Otherwise, Galaxy series should be preferable. As such, S4 would be the best upgrade.

The note 2 really isn't an upgrade as it's the body of a SGS3 in larger form. With S-Pen. S4 would be an upgrade or Xperia Z

The short answer to that is it is actually a good upgrade.
But, if you're asking if it is a WISE upgrade, then no. Because we're seeing 1080p screen phones with 2gb of ram and A15 architecture cropping up everywhere, so the note 2 may be better than the s3, but there are others in the market of the same price with better specs. HTC butterfly for example.
I dont like anyone should possibly switch from s3 to note 2.. How i see it it is a 2gb of ram,larger screen,s-pen s3..

IMO is not a good upgrade since is almos the same sh*t but if you want a bigger screen at same resolution (less DPI) and s-pen stuff then yes itsa good option, but is not an upgrade, is just a different phone with almost same hardware.
Usually I call upgrade to get a better phone, not just a different looking phone.
The G2 thread is quite popular with some good discussion going on, so I thought I'd start a discussion about my next device; the Note 3. It's going to be introduced at an unboxing event on Sept 4th in Berlin, Germany; just ahead of the IFA 2013 the conference the previous two Notes have been introduced from. The specifications are hefty:
5.68″ Full HD Super AMOLED display (1920 x 1080)
Octa-core processor clocked at 1.8GHz (depending on the market)
3GB of RAM
13MP back-facing camera with OIS technology
ARM Mali-T628 MP6 GPU
4G LTE
16GB/32GB/64GB storage options
microSD slot supportable of additional 64GB
Android 4.3 Jelly Bean
3,200mAh battery
I'll be using Verizon's Device Payment Program to both upgrade my device early and retain my unlimited data.
Who's in? Who's not? Why or why not?
Note 3 ?
Nope. The next device is always cooler. Once you come to grips with that, you won't pine for the newest thing.

Really this is stupid it hasn't even been announced. It could be Christmas before this phone comes to Verizon ask then.

My next device surely won't be from Samsung.

It's not a matter of chasing the next device. It'll be a two for one upgrade. I'll be giving my S4 to my son.

Try using some punctuation before you call something stupid.

As the OP says...why???
No. Sorry, but a screen/device that large is simply too big. Also, Samsung can pack as much horsepower they want under the hood in terms of specs, but they really should focus on the software optimization to get a truly great phone. That's where performance is lacking.
With that said, no, the S4 will stay for now. Outside of a bigger device and screen, I probably wouldn't notice much difference.

As the guy above me basically states, the phone is crap if the software isn't optimized. In a perfect world I wouldn't resort to modding my device. However, with all the stuff Samsung loads in I need to because I feel a degradation in performance compared to previous devices. Samsung just makes the software and hopes that the high end specs will make for a smooth experience. This just won't cut it anymore. People can complain about the iPhone all they want but with the "meh" specs its packing Apple makes up for it with their excellent software optimizations. Not sure what my next device would be though.

Nope, not me. I'm waiting for the Note 4, which is gonna be so much better than the S5. Haha Just kidding...
Seriously though, I'm probably going to jump on the Note 3 when it does come out. I like having the newest thing... and I love me big screens!
I am considering the HTC One Max if it is indeed VZW bound

Sonys xpera z ultra would be nice. If they found a way to lock down the s4 for say ever then the note 3 will most likely be the same way on launch.. unless of course they launch a developer edition when the s5 comes out lol
