Since my experience with my infuse was so horrible and I mean horrible (replaced 5 times) they are allowing me to upgrade my second line early so I figured I'd spend it on the Gnote, my primary line is up next January so I figured the note will hold me over for 11 months. How good is it? I've played with one briefly the other day and really liked it.

Its great so far , get it. You have 30 days to play with it just in case.
I'd like to think the abundance of positive threads in this forum attest to what a wonderful device it really is. I am absolutely in love with this phone, and haven't felt this way since the first time I played with an iPhone back in 2009.
Best device I've ever owned. No complaints at all

Good to hear...I just hope I doesn't look like I'm smuggleing Mac and cheese when I'm tooting this bad boy in my pocket.

You won't be sorry! I came from an iPhone 4S and I'm not sure the camera is quite as good but its still excellent. And the rest of the phone is far better! I'm in love with the screen and I'm just beginning to get the hang of editing pictures with the S-Pen. It's an awesome phone! I ordered two extra batteries and a wall charger from Amazon to go with it so that I'm never stuck to a wall.
I came from an lg nitro HD and this phone is awesome.I smile every time I pull it out of my pocket. And something really cool that I just noticed is that Swype rocks with the s-pen.

I really like my note alot, perfect size IMO. I have no problem going from my ipad2 to my note but using my note then picking up my Atrix or iphone4 and they look tiny!
http://www.bgr.com/2012/02/25/samsu...ceramic-back-with-simultaneous-global-launch/
ALLEGEDLY
still too small after having my note for a while now
If the rumor of simultanous launch is true, I'd gladly skip the GNote. The 4.8" screen is perfect for me, comparable to GNexus's 4.65", both without physical buttons. I'm sure the screen will be Super AMOLED Plus HD. Anything less doesn't deserve the GS3 name.
I was actually all set to pull the trigger on the GNote today until I saw this. I live the size of the GNote, but really wish it was a quad core. Also for someone that goes through as much battery as me through a day (almost 2 full batterys on my skyrocket a day), I didnt want the hassle of taking the back off the phone constantly since people on here have implied it being very difficult. Might just do GS3 until the Note 2 comes out
If everything in that spec list is true.... I'm getting one.

I care a lot less about screen size than I do screen resolution. 1280x800 or 720p would be fine - anything less is useless on a screen that size. It'll be interesting to see how it stacks up with the Note.
Also, I want to say I read that the photo in that article is a discredited 'shop-job, but I'm not sure. Having zero bezel around the edges of the phone would make it awfully difficult to hold and not create mis-clicks.
I'm pretty sure that's photoshop job but thin bezel is not new. HTC has two 4.7" phones with thin bezels, one for WP7, one for Android. None are being called too big by any reivewers
Gnote us the best phone sometimes its just best to get what u what instead of trying to keep up cause there will always b a better phone at the rate we r going

That's is a very subjective matter. I tried multiple GNotes at AT&T store. It certainly feeled sluggish in stock form compared to my GS2 in stock form with a lot of apps installed. GNote could have benefited a lot with a much beefier processor than the S3.
Interesting article. The ceramic and size info is indeed new and I have not heard any of that from my source
Right now we are expecting
4.65 hd screen and a new dual core, not quad.
I will poke around and see if I can find more

These supposed spec leak articles are a joke, designed to drive traffic to those site. They just speculate on the incredibly obvious. What phone hasn't come out with a slightly larger screen, a bigger processor,a better camera more memory etc. Its a given that if you wait another six months you will always find a "better" device. "Super AMOLED Plus HD"..lol.

Mr.Ed,
I wonder what happened to that Skyrocket HD (a.k.a Galaxy S2 HD LTE in Korea)? If this rumor is true about the launch, it makes no sense to release the Skyrocket HD at all. So, if there is no upcoming release schedule for Skyrocket HD, we can assume GS3 is coming to US this summer.

According to a leaked AT&T road map, the skyrocket HD is suppose to be released at the end of Q1.
I'm not gonna get too excited about it at this point. I'm not too ready to move on to the next big thing, specially if it has a smaller screen. I just moved from the streak to the Note, and on paper this is about twice the phone that the Streak was. However in actual usage it's not that much faster, and in some cases more choppy.
It's a better phone, don't get me wrong. I'm just saying that there's no point in waiting forever. There will always be something better on the horizon. And the Note meets my needs perfectly right now, and probly will for the next year

I doubt that one (probably imported from Korea) will have AT&T compatible LTE bands.
After getting used to the Note, I wouldn't want to downgrade to a smaller screen. I love how everything is huge on the Note. On my GNex, everything looks stupid small in comparison. I'd rather wait for the Note II with Exynos 5250.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA App
Look at all the hype the Galaxy Nexus/Nexus Prime was getting just to find out you couldn't expand the memory, only went to Verizon, etc etc.... I messed with Note a day or so ago and it wasn't as bulky as I thought. I was more curious about development issues. The Skyrocket and the Hercules (i727 & T989) are basically the same phones so from the development side there are more behind them. Not sure if an SIM unlocked Note can work on T Mobile or if T Mo is going to offer the Note at all.

Do you have a link for the Note 2 or is it mostly just talk as of now?
I'm most interested in the ceramic back. If it is durable, I think that could create a really interesting new path for Samsung in terms of design. I can just imagine a smooth, matte finish feel that would feel super sexy and high quality. Not that Samsung hasn't achieved high quality design using their plastics, but I would be really excited to see what they could do with some other materials seeing as they have really proven that plastics can be used to create a rock solid device.
An amazing place, laid out just like an apple store. More galaxy Note peripherals than I have seen anywhere. All the cases, batteries, chargers etc and of course the devices. They even run a service of engraving the back case with whatever you want (I got my name written on it!). Fantastic.
I wish Samsung would do this in the US.

Simply amazing. The store does look dedicated to the NOTE as well as other galaxy devices. I would def go to that store if i ever had a chance to. Look at all the accessories, like a kid at a candy store...
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke
Cases with ears, colors, books, wallets, plastic, metal, plain, with stands. Everything.
The engraving was the most fun!

Samsung will be setting up those here in Canada as well, it was already on the local news.
not sure if they have plans for the USA
personally i'm really looking forward to it, finally be able to buy unlocked phones direct from Samsung, and doing warranties straight to Samsung without all the annoying red tapes from the local phone companies
I have seen similar stores in other parts of Asia as well.
It would be great to have stores like this in USA also.
Looks awesome.

Now I want to go to that store badly. Hopefully they start opening some up in the US. Albeit...Apple may sue them for it...depending on how trigger-happy they remaining with suing.

Interestingly they have a note variant with an antenna for TV and an LTE version with the same processor as the internal version. But that's Korean LTE.

I'm Korean, and my wife helps me navigate Korean forums. From my past experience when I had the Dell Streak 5 before my i717, the Dev community was pretty big for the Dell Streak 5. The following and contribution from the Dev community blew up for the Streak. (I used to surf the Dell Streak 5 forum on XDA).
Being that the Note is a native product, I'm sure the dev community is pretty big. If I can get around to it, I will see if they have some good ROM dev going on, and maybe can liason between the Korean community and the English speaking community. (My English is better than my Korean, and my wife is vice versa, so we actually work well together. )
That would be fantastic!

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

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?
So, my friend (she's an iZombie of course) just asked if my phone was the "S4 Note".
I know this probably more because of Samsung's S4 fragmentation with the zoom/active/mini etc. models but I have noticed I've gotten quite a few funny comments/questions about this device, and so far no where to share it in my favorite XDA section!
Some of you must have a few humorous comments that you've received, post them here and share the laughs. :laugh:

You look like you're holding an iPad Mini to your ear (on days that I forget my BT Ear Piece)
Why are you using a tablet to take pictures (but that usually stops once they see the pics and I don't have to do endless scrolling on websites)
Apple is Innovative, just look at my perfectly sized 4" screen, to which I usually reply,,,,Android was innovative in 2010 when they started having 4" screens, and you don't see me having any issues holding my 5.5" phone.

I occasionally get the "wow is that thing big" but alot of people around here either have a s3 s4 or note 2 so it doesn't really phase them. When i first got it is when I got alot of comments because it was still so new. A friend of mine asked me to see it (when a hot girl asks for your phone you just hand it over hahaha) but she is tiny, by tiny I mean 4'10" and maybe 110lbs. Well it truly looked like she was holding a tablet. Haha. That's when I saw how big it is. But I can never go back to a smaller phone now.
People: "how can you use a phone that big?"
Me: "I'm used to handling big things."

here lately, there are more note 2's or s4's than iphones at the hospital so not as many comments as there used to be.
I get it all the time at the university I work at. Big screen tv, 80's boombox, table for our food. I just wait until one of my coworkers tries to show a youtube video, I go to the same one, and then put my phone next to theirs. That usually quiets those types of people.
