Got mine sometime ago........actually two months now
... still "undecided" if I want to let go of my INFUSE (unlocked + rooted) ,,,,
>>few noteworthy things come to mind..
CONS:
1) Kernal LOCJED DOWN
Note= seems semi-locked ...seemed complicated to root >>like in Moto phones , where as Infuse = was easy peeze to do
2) Email on Note = shows "inbox" only on the main " EMAIL VIEW" screen
(if you have mutiple folders - you have to go around a complex way to see the other folders - Infuse shows them as like u see in NORMAL GMAIL page...
3) After installing SKYPE
(it adds a link in "DIALER" section - so you this weird choice to use SKYPE or NORMAL DIALER to make calls - sucks as MS now owns SKYPE - so guess they plan to make things in Driod world just as messy and windows...)
4) HD videos are MV (as in MS phone version) not Mp4 for real 1080P movies and videos....
Pro:
1) my 32GB card is fully supported - infuse is limited to 16GB (tried to swap over Sd cards infuse only sees 16gb from note so CON for Infuse )
2) NICE BIG SCREEN .. luv it for movies !
3)...
still playing around
Cheers

Wow I found rooting very easy and Odin cwm simple also
Kernel flashing just well a flash. But each to his own I love this phone. I had the capitivate,thena streak then infuse then a xoom then a skyrocket and now the note all were easy to root and cwm. I always say read and Google and YouTube it may save u a brick.

I did the exact same thing. She wanted the White One. She used it for about 2 weeks and then I couldn't stand it anymore and went and got one too. Awesome concept (5.3, S Pen) and an awesome phone.
Note

Im in love with mine. Traded my sensation and ipod touch 4g for it. Best trade i have ever done through craigslist. Root and custom Rom was easy to do. Running seraphim Rom love this phone. I've had alot of phones. This one hands down the best one.

I had the 3vo and it is purely a gimmick phone. The Photon is just a nice piece of machinery. If you are still on your 30 days just try it out, you can reset your 30 days 3 times. You won't want to return it.

Yea that was what I though it was but "Dj" said you can do it 3 times if so I asked where I can get that info so I can printed and have proof to show at the store if and when the Samsung Epic Touch 4G aka the Samsung Galaxy II comes out I will probably jump on that since I am a Samsung fan boy.

If buying at Sprint retail, they will only allow 1 exchange (for a different device) you CAN exchange for the same device multiple times (with device issue). Best Buy, I have personally done 3 different devices within that 30 day time frame.
Just tell em "look, I'm gonna be stuck with this phone for the next 2 years...so wanna make sure I'm gonna be happy with it."

I guess coming from a Samsung Epic, my definition of "laggy home screens" is a little different. From my perspective, the Photon is incredibly quick in every instance, including scrolling between home screens.

I'm on my 3rd EVO and it still has the same problems the others had. Screen freezes, green pictures, dark pictures in bright sunlight, piss poor reception which not only makes the phone useless but also kills the battery stupid fast.

Gave my 3devo back....suck phone, call dropping, screen freezing, no-add to the contact list, 4g dropping when 4g signal is stronger than 3g, battery lasting *maybe* 4 hours POS.
Yea, it was a nice toy, it just wasn't a phone in any aspect.
I will never own a HTC device again, they had thier chance and failed hard.

I was going to say the exact same thing - and there are many different launchers, widgets, etc that makes it very sense like anyways. The sense type dialer is important to me, and the Motorola one is strikingly similar.

You also need to keep in mind that somebody different has used that phone every few minutes and who knows what settings they may have changed. Widgets can also affect any phones' response, so you might want to strip those when you test. I don't have the slightest bit of lag on my phone using blur.

Working with, repairing and selling both phones I see it as a wash. If someone is looking for a "in your hand" media phone, I push the Epic. It has an attractive screen and media optimizations that the MoPho doesn't have. If someone is looking for "and the kitchen sink" phone, I push the MoPho. It's screen and media playback falls short of the Epic but has amazing expansion capabilities. Granted I avoid iPhones like the plague (sheeple products annoy me) but if the customer can barely understand their hero/moment then I point them towards an iPhone. If I didn't need the MoPho's feature set I would have gone with the Epic.
(Please note that the 3D abomination is not in the above paragraph. That's one POS I will not sell to anybody. Almost every 3D that comes in for service ends up getting replaced.)
I ended up going through 4 evo 3D's before switching to photon. That phone is a POS. HTC really let me down man and I got that sucker on launch day. After the Evo 3D I used a Nexus s for a month which was another plastic POS by Samsung (also garbage). Photon was my first moto android device and they won me over...for now. That said, I agree with the guy above me 100%.

Just random issues Samsung phones usually have. At home I can get a solid 9mb on 4G consistently and her ET maxes out at 4/5mb tops right next to mine. Signal isn't all that great in our home (same problem I had with the nexus s). Phone feels very cheap as compared to the photon or 3D. She likes it but then again she likes whatever phone you put in her hand. I'd say she's not the most tech savvy person out there so she wouldn't know what works etc. I know though...the small issues drive me nuts lol. Maybe I'm just spoiled by the excellent radio moto has in this thing now! Sammy's are known for weak radios just ask the original iPhone 4 owners

if having a phone that lags on its own OS, has a screen that looks like bees painted it with there asses, has very little dev support, no plans of getting ics ota update, and has a return rate of 45% (at my store)... I don't know how u would even think about calling this phone an upgrade over the galaxy s ii.
The only thing holding this phone off from being 100% crap is its radio, GSM card slot, and it being sold in stores (best buy, target, and Walmart) for only $50 to $100 bucks.

You mad bro? Lol
Motorola hasnt denied any of its latest phones only stated which ones are getting it first for sure. They made this very clear with an official statement. I believe this phone will see ICS q1 2012 same with the epic touch (which is a plastic PIECE OF **** with a nice screen). That's all Samsung phones have going is the screen. And dev support? Who says we don't have any? We have enough dev support; let me guess, you're one of those people who thinks a new rom is when someone takes a base, removes a few apps and adds a theme? (i.e the evo 4G/3D forums). This phone has webtop, kernel devs and a dedicated cm7 dev and others chip in. What else do you need?
Epic touch is a joke with a shiny screen, I can say that because I have one right next to me. Get real kid..

Who has had a Galaxy Nexus and went to the att note

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.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
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.

So I went from my ATT Note to BB8130 on VZW and found that had just traveled back in time to a time and place where things just werent easy nor connected.
I begged my friends for loaners and got the Droid X again on VZW and still no signal....but atleast is android...I don't feel too bad.
But the screen size, the crispness of that screen, and the Samsung calendar are features I mess greatly.....and I can't believe I'm saying this but the ATT network is what I miss most!
So now trying to switch either back to the Note or a GS3....

I'm not too happy with AT&T's network in my area at the moment. The cell towers can't keep up with all the tourism. A few months ago I could easily get 49Mb/sec down, but now I'm lucky if I get 400Kb/sec, or even a data connection at all. Ugh.

Had an s3. Thought I missed ios and traded my s3 for a 4s. Terrible idea. Ios is so boring. Nothing worth getting the iPhone 5 unless you want a crappy smaller phone. My gf gets pissed at her 5 constantly. Battery life on it sucks

The whole iOS is boring doesn't mean to much to me anymore I don't really mess with my phone besides rom updates. I was curious about the battery life.

I had an Evo 4G. Was curious about the iPhone so I got an iPhone 4. It was cute for a while. Then it's charm wore off quick and it just became dull and boring. I sold it and got an Evo 4G LTE. I soon after discovered the Galaxy S3 and fell in love with Android all over again.

Had a iPhone 4 (jailbroken), switched to GNexus and was surprised how good the phone was besides the battery life (and thats lol when u compare the Gnex to the Note 2) .. I could do a lot more things on the GNex then the iPhone 4.
Once I switched to the Note 2, it wasn't even close.
Don't go full retard imo
I'm glad I'm getting some opinions that aren't blatant fanboys. I was playing with one and don't think I could do it. Not to mention iPhone guys who wanna trade want money on my side (I have over $200 in accessories for my phone already)
Edit: You never go full retard.

Hahaha nicely said. I love my old iPhone. But it's a paper weight compared to any recent android phone. I love both phones but this phone is a legitimate computer

My friend just recently switched from the 4s. He has been am iPhone fanboy, even though he claims he wasn't a fanboy, ever since he got his first iPod and iPhone. He just got sick and tired of Apples little walled in garden with the iPhone even when jailbroken. He saw my Note 2, played with it for a couple weeks and then made the switch. He is absolutely in love with hos Note 2 and says there is no way in hell he will EVER go back to an iPhone!
The only thing he dislikes is there is no way to sync his iTunes music, playlists, pictures, and videos. He was using Kies but since he flashed Vanilla Rootbox, which he has been on since the 3rd day he had his phone, he cant find any app for syncing his music tjat works with a USB cord.

There are certainly more (and a lot of times better) accessories for an iDevice; play music thru the media cable, earphone/headphone buttons auto detect the device, more choices when it comes to cases etc

He is currently using iSyncr but the problem he is running into with it is that it doesn't sync any metadata, like how many times a song had been played and all that good stuff.

My wife had an iphone 5 and she thought she would love it because she likes her ipad so much but right away she noticed that she can't see it too well because of the small screen. So she traded it for the note 2 and loves it way, way, way more because of the size. She says it was a great trade.

I went from a 4s to the N2. I have no regrets, and I thoroughly enjoy this phone.
