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??

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?
Alright guys, I recently picked up a new Galaxy S III with a nice new 64 GB microSD card. After about a week of using it, I began to not like it anymore. And the reason why I stopped liking it, is because I thought about purchasing a Nexus 7. And I thought in my head, like many Android devices, it would be fragmented from my Galaxy S III. Yeah, I could've put Jelly Bean on it. But I didn't want to. I bought the Galaxy S III specifically for NatureUX. I sold my Galaxy Nexus and my iPhone 4S so I could get this phone and then have some extra cash.
Now, I have a brand-new Galaxy S III just sitting in its box waiting to be returned to Amazon, and no smart phone. So I'm using my Nokia N95, which I'm kinda loving all over again. But I look over at my little box, and open it up and mess with the Galaxy S III and wonder if I'm making the right choice. There's a new iPhone on the horizon... There's even possibly a new Nexus device on the horizon. I don't know if I should just stick to my N95, and wait for something newer. I know the S III is NOT a bad choice at all. It's relatively future-proof and what not...
I would appreciate it if some of you weighed in on this, because I am prepared to send it back Monday morning. Let me know what you think, thank you.
yes, you are kinda crazy.
but old nokias are good so you can keep using it and later in the future remove the dust from your gs3

Maybe stop thinking about other phones and be happy with what you have, to put it into perspective
Are you well fed?
Do you have clean drinking water?
Do you have shelter?
Yes to all?........sorted
First world problems.
Sell it and wait for either i5 or next nexus if you already dislike it dude.. I would

What a dumb, self-serving thread. There will always be better phones coming down the pipeline. You want us to beg you to keep the S3 or something?
I'll tell you one thing that I've learned.
You can't keep thinking about future devices.
Every 6 months a new (maybe better) device is released.
If you keep thinking about the future, you'll NEVER buy any device, because you are always looking ahead.
Just stay with the best TODAY, and in the future, if there's a new device that you like, you buy it.
There's always people to buy your previous device in the future if you want to sell it.
Since you already packed it nicely, so just send it home

your wait for new devices will be in vain. you will be thinking the very same every 6 months. n95 is gonna serve you a very long time
Well u have already bought it, and personallly I love everything except the ram on this phone, if u already have it Y don't u just open it...

best phone I ever had. I bought my woman Iphone 4S, before they released the SGS3, tested it and I know the iOS and apple products are not for me...
No one can really make a decision for you I'd wait to see what the iPhone 5/Next Nexus bring then make your decision.
I would never consider selling a smart phone for a tablet... If it means no more smartphone (for the record I have a s3 and a n7).

Yup, a tablet is nice to have but a smartphone is essential. Think I'd feel lost if the all seeing eye of Google wasn't on or near my person at all times.

well the time has come. ill be getting a new phone friday, can't make up my mind between s3 and the q, I like both but can't decide, so I figure open a thread get some opinions from my buddies on here.....I'm on the fence big, please drop a line or two with your opinion, links, whatever advice you might have to offer.....figure this might help others who can't decide as well....thanks
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
I plan on getting a new phone in about 2 weeks also and the Q is not even a thought. I don't really like Samsung but I'll be getting the S3.
I recommend you stay with the Photon and not get a new one. My reasons are selfish though, because I don't want you to leave us as a dev!
Honestly though, my girlfriend has the S3 and it's amazing. I don't like how fragile it feels in comparison to the Photon, but I watched her drop it on concrete yesterday and it surprised me. It landed in the top left corner and the screen didn't shatter. It just has a couple dings and scrapes on the sides.

First, let me say, I loved your work on the photon 4g. Now that's out of the way. ***k the s3. I have a Q. In my opinion samsung needs some originality. Go to the store and play with them both, bigger isn't always better.

IMO, get the S3:
1- As far as I know is the fastest phone out there
2- Samsung has added some nice software features
3- It's about to get official JB
4- The development community is growing up day by day
5- You will support Samsung in some way after the crappy outcome of the Samsung vs Apple trial D:
Thanks for all your work spleef..we've really enjoyed having you as one of our amazing devs!
Wait for the lg eclipse quad core, 2 gigs of ram, 13 megapixel camera, and a display that rivals the retina display from apple oh and 2100mah battery stock.

S3 all the way. My mother in-laws has one.got to play with it for awhile.It's a sick phone. Hopefully my next one. No more Motorola for me
kind of feel the same way wanting to get away from motorola, but damn they make good phones....lol that lg sounds sick but I've never been much of a lg fan....usually I've only bought htc until this photon being my first motorola, but several of my friends have motorola and they are beastly.....leaning towards the q I like the keyboard phones, and the fact it is unlockable by motorola seems promising...idk...still on the fence got a few more days still

the note 2 will face the same changes the sgs3 did, there is no current quad core chipsets that support LTE, the newest and greatest one to do so is the MSM8960 aka the qualcomm snapdragon S4 tahts inside the one x lineup, sgs3 lineup, and many many other phones this year
Come to the light.
S3 so far has been a great phone.

Samsung's radios are garbage. I had the Epic, have since given it to my ex-wife, and after a year, the single sucked, on all fronts. the cell signal sucked, the wifi signal sucked, and even the bluetooth was flakey. The Photon (and I got mine used, so it's probably a year old now) is 10 times better in those respects. The only thing the Sammy has that bests Moto is the Super AMOLED screen.
Do you think that SGS2 will update android 5.0 some day?

My upgrade isn't until March 2014. May likely get the Galaxy Note 3 or the S5. Hopefully they have the 1080p resolution and the octa8 core processor. Also key lime pie. Then again other manufacturer's are starting to build better high end devices. Kind wanna see what they have in store for us in the future. For now the Galaxy Note is still an awesome device in my eyes.

The only reason I have so much faith in development is because when I gave away my captivate I regretted it because it has insane roms! The developers in this forum are solid too..
if they made a 4.5 to 4.7 inch 1080p phone that's fast as hell id jump ship
5inches is good..but for a year now rt I've realized I like the size of the gs3 or smaller way better

The gs3 is just a much better phone in general imo....
The i717 performs horribly in comparison.
I have both and the gs3 is my daily, the i717 tends to just sit in a box until someone will hopefully buy it. I put jellybean on it, played with it for a little bit but even still it was never as smooth or as battery friendly as the s3, not even on the same level.

Honestly when I got mine almost a year ago for 50 bucks though AT&T I'd take that offer. The price just dropped on the note one also. But AT&T just offered to take $100 off the upgrade price of the note two so, I honestly might take it. Told them I'd get back with them about it... Can't make up my mind!!! Ugh =(

You've got to be kidding. Development is booming. We're kicking 4.2.2 when a lot devices don't have 4.1 yet.
And the best ROM going for the GNote, we're not even allowed to talk about.

Oooooooh snap, you talked about it! Shhhhh!!! I agree with your statement though. It just takes a small amount of time especially with this device. Well mine I know (i717) but people just want the new and to flash flash flash. I'd rather the ROMs be tested toughly than have it bricked or something.
