Pentile Display - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Seems like a fair amount of people dislike Pentile Displays. I've read the wiki and the only contraversy published, has to do with true resolution ratings. Other than that, why is the Pentile display disliked? I love the display on my Note. It's gorgeous.

Pick up an atrix and you will understand the hate

It's just people nitpicking. Pentile is fine.

just moved from the Atrix (morrislee rom) to the note. i find i like the display better on my note then the atrix.
the only issue i find with my note is whether to root/unlock/rom it! other then that, i love it! this is by far the best phone OUT OF THE BOX that i have ever owned.... iCrap 3G (jailbroke after an hour of owning it), Atrix (waited 4 months to root, another month to rom), and now my Note....

Low-res pentile displays in the past have looked terrible.
The newer hi-res pentile displays look gorgeous. The hate is leftover from the first displays that came out.

Thanks for the input. I couldn't understand why people didn't like Pentile. As for the Atrix, I can understand why people are saying that. The display on the Atrix was horrible.

I don't understand the atrix hate, I had the atrix before my note and the display seems amazing with certain roms but then again we all have our own opinions

I went from the iPhone 4 to the atrix so I had good reason to hate the display. I didn't really fall in love with my atrix until a week before the note came out but it was too little too late. The latest cm7 and cm9 builds are amazing but the early builds were too buggy.
I'm very pleased with the notes display, tho ibwishbi could lower the brightness more.

Highly doubt they were privileged shots of the GS3. Just a mock. Amazing how the GS3 is garnering iPhone like levels of mock ups and rumors.

This has been on there site for awhile and I'm sure its just to inform people when the device actually comes out, they plan on making a case for it, so think of them in the future. I'm sure in no way do they have access to info before anyone else. Seems like it would of taken off more if it was true

Since I sell phones I would def agree about them going downhill however, I just got a One X and its a pretty amazing device. I'm keeping my Note for sure because I love it but I wanted to try something new as well. The 1x is easily the most beautiful phone I've ever seen. I got it in white and can't stop staring at it.
I'll get the sgs3 launch day too because I do prefer Samsung

Razr Not Bad At All

So guys i was surfing through youtube, and then I came across this on youtube, Razr vs S3.
Now we all know Razr is no competition for S3 but after watching this video aI am very proud of My Razr and I am sure you all will be .
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25xL34ybAfk&feature=plcp
The Galaxy S3 didn't shine in my eyes so Razr It is.
Samsung galaxy collection always sucked and will suck.
Razr for the win.

Dan: I disagree. I had the sgs1 and the support on here and other sites was huge. And the ability of the device was good also. The fact that nexus s will be getting 4.1 means the sgs1 will probably get a port. The sgs2 and 3 are evolutions of the original and although the samsung build quality isn't as good as moto, they are still great devices.

RAZR looks better. that, for me, is good enough.
edit: but, boy, that live wallpaper must've sucked a bit of battery juice, doesn't it?
I owned the Vibrant and the SGS4g and they were both slow as hell. I know the S2.and S3 are much better, but for me my Maxx us the best phone I have ever owned.

If you didn't have the Note or Note 2, what phone would you most likely be using now?

For me, I think Samsung Galaxy S III hands down. Runner up would be the HTC One X. That's also a very good looking phone.

Same.
I would probably have tried to get a HOX if I didn't love the note so much.
Probably some cheap flip phone. Kinda getting tired of paying 190$ a month for 2 phones when neither me or my wife make calls and send maybe 500 texts a month and now wifi is at 9/10 of the places I visit.

Reminds me of a time before these nice android tablets, I got a Samsung Q1 Ultra and hated windows and linux on it, so I ported Android-x86 donut to it.
Just a little after that the Streak came out and I felt like I wasted my time and money.
I had an AT&T HTC One X, but I got it early and I kept getting emails from people saying that they tried calling me but I never got the calls.
I returned it and got the Note.
I would probably also be on an sgs3.
HTC one x.which I have... tried the s3. Didn't impress me at all.. still waiting for my perfect phone. If the one x had a SD slot and a battery u can swap out. That would be my perfect phone.

Trade for nexus 4?

Would you guys do it if you had the chance? P.s not asking for volunteers to trade my nexus 4. Just want your opinion.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
considering that the screen is no where as nice and that its lower storage with base model, no, but mainly because it will not work on verizion lol. I love my DNA and its basically the same phone spec wise aside from battery, camera, and screen. This is my opinion of course.

Not a chance. The one thing I don't like about Nexus devices (and I may be the only one) is that all the roms are AOSP. There's really no variety. Back when I had my Gnex I was incredibly bored since all the roms looked and acted the same. I know it's getting better and that a lot of new features are popping up (especially in PA), but I like having the option to run Sense or AOSP. And I have a huge soft spot for Sense, that's something that you'll never see on a Nexus device.

It all depends on what you want. If I were on tmobile I would seriously think about it but since I am on Verizon its not an option. I love AOSP and thus would love a nexus device. The nexus4 also has aws support for non 1900 farmed areas.
