One week left!
This thread is a countdown to the Note!
Everyone, share your favorite thing about the note!
I love the form factor. No sharp edges, large screen, thin, you know what im saying.
I love the size of the screen, the HD factor, the thin-ness, the glow that the capacitive buttons make on the white phone
!!!!!!!
I CANT WAIT!
!!!!!!!
Will it come on Friday for everyone??? That would be wonderful because I'm going out of town from Friday night to Monday night.

Damn you! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr....
Like a giant Captivate with GPS
For those of us longsuffering Captivate self-flagellators the Note comes just when I am happy with ICS.
BUT . . . can't wait for . . .
Screen I can actually decifer while browsing the web . . .
Still fits in my pocket (was tempted by the 7" Tab way back when as a phone and tablet combo)
Gorgeous screen to actually watch videos (that's the one thing I don't do on the Captivate, just not enjoyable compared to a tv)
using the S Pen, and all that it will do (screen grab and write notes on maps, etc., actually be efficient/quick taking notes in meetings, lunch orders, shopping)
Can't wait

I can't wait either. I think I have been looking more forward to getting this phone than I did the arrival of my first born. I hope that doesn't make me a bad person ...I'm just a crazy Samsung phone geek like everyone else here! Lol
Mostly everything that was said but hopefully wallpapers will fit on the home screen not like now on my inspire they are cut off.

This will actually be the first white phone that I own! I'm already getting a ton of hate from my friends and co-workers who think this phone is too big. I swear I must be the only one in my area interested in this phone, but that's just going to add to the unique value! So excited!

Yeah I haven't been this giddy about a device since I got my new laptop. I have been upgrade eligible since August 11' and I have been waiting for the right phone. This is the right phone.
Man I hope I don't get disappointed. Every time I get stoked about something its always turns out to be a let down. I'm gonna need to be more pessimistic about this phone.
i've been holding off on ordering accessories in case they didn't fit, but i think i might regret that decision!

Another Review
This is a review of the Candian LTE Galaxy note. Very good video 21 minutes long.

Would it be possible to include "Onskreen Cornerstone" in a custom rom for the Note since it it is made for tablets and has been ran on some tablets or would it not be useful on our screens?
I dont think it can be done. If it could, it would be piracy due to the fact that its a paid app in the play store.

Its open scource and its not available in the market and there is no apk. I think you might have no clue what I am talkin about. Here is a link to the Onskreen Cornerstone site http://www.onskreen.com/cornerstone/ I think it would be a great feature but not sure if our screens are big enough.
Onskreen
Well, it is available on the Asus Transformer in two different ROM's, and it is missing some of the features they show in the video, and it's very buggy. Also, I am not sure it makes sense to have that on a 5.3" screen.
On a side note, I am noticing that some apps treat the Note more like a phone, than a 1280x800 tablet. the CNN Widget app is one of them.

Lol my fault. I did read it incorrectly. I thought you meant OverSkreen from the play store. My apologies.
This is something definitely a dev should take a look at. We would actually have the best of both worlds of a phone and tablet.
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke
i think its scaleable down, but issue would be "where to put it" across the top? left or right upper? make it multi placeable? hmmm...i was thinking maybe something like onskreen across the top of the screen a little larger than the stock homescreen's clock...but IDK where to even begin..
onskreen on the note = 1 small screen next to 2 tiny a$$ screens = doesnt make any sense on the note
but as always, in any situation, to each their own. :silly:
So I got my Galaxy Note today, and as soon as I got home, I put it under my electron microscope, and to my dismay, I noticed nano scratches! I wanted to reach out to everyone to see if they noticed this flaw on their phones. I was considering using hydrochloric acid and a high speed belt sander to remove them. The only problem is, they are so small, they can't be seen with the nakid eye, and I dont know what to do. I paid $300 for this phone, and I find this flaw to be totally unacceptable. My phone should be absolutely, 100% perfect! I contacted Samsung about this issue, and they told me to suck it.
I guess it's off to AT&T, where I will open and inspect every single Note, until I find the perfect one. If they won't exchange it for me, I will lie and commit fraud to get my way!

Well played.
I'll take your messed up Note off your hands for $20. You pay shipping, though.
Kinda' funny.
You know, people can hate on iSheep all they want, but the fact is most of Apple's phones are PERFECT and uniform. Why do I mention this? Simple, the bar has been raised significantly for aesthetics and performance. Small amounts of burn-in, tiny amounts of black crush, overzealous memory use, uneven component quality -- with rare exception, iPhones don't suffer from any of this. While Samsung clearly has the better phone overall, bits and pieces still lag far behind.
P.S. I love my Note.

Thur u arrrrrrgh
Flawed Logik
To add to what the OP was saying, at least how it appears to me; I bought my phone the day it came out, I just couldn't wait until October until my contract would have let me upgraded. Went down to the At&t store, bought it. They had NO accessories for it, cases, screen protectors, nothing. Anyway back at the house I played with the Note for about 4 hours solid that night, running quadrant, downloading different apps, games; Anything I could think of I did, I gave my phone "electrical" hell that night.
Next day I went on eBay found a case for $9, screen protector for $5, got a mhl adapter and 2 generic spare batteries and a host cable. Later that evening the 1st un-official rom was released for the Note. I didn't have a second thought, downloaded Odin and flashed away, in fact been doing that ever since.
Then I started reading post on here: Hair line cracks on Note, black banding issues, sound woes, etc...
I guess I am wired different than everyone else; If I buy something, and it looks ok, functions ok and was what I wanted to begin with i'm happy. I am not a person that will nitpick something to death like someone with OCD on crack, it's just not me.
If a stranger is watching me use my phone and wants to check it out, I don't mind handing it over for them to try out. I take care of what I have but I don't baby it either, it gets used.
[ Just checked my flash counter and i'm up to 38 Odin flashes plus how ever many I have done with cwm. I wonder if i can get up to 100 ]

Really? Are you suuuure about that? I recall the iPhone 4 requiring a $35 bumper case to get decent reception. Not to mention the yellow tinting on the displays. Then there was the fracturing near the power button on the white 3gs.

This reminds me of your "Design flaw of Galaxy Note" and "Screen off center" threads...except this one is meant to be a joke.
El Diablo just officially turned on LTE for my part of Ohio. (I've had it on my 900 since day one, with fantastic speeds.) SGS3 feels like a disappointment, it feels like a beefier Nexus. I have one of those bolted to my HDTV.
This guy just really intrigues me. I'm afraid of a refresh though. I hate GB and those damn buttons on the bottom. But. I'm bored. Thoughts?
Get a note?
Should you get a Note? I don't have LTE where I live and more than likely won't until 2090. But there are sooooo many other things I love about my phone.

If you're afraid of a refresh, you'll never buy anything, because the next best thing is always just around the corner. Forget what might be coming (especially if they haven't announced anything about it) and get what you think is going to work for you.
I personally like the buttons, but I can see how some wouldn't. Anyway, they are easy to live with.
Finally ... GB. Haven't run GB in weeks. There's a couple very stable ICS roms out there for the flashing. I wouldn't even bother going back to GB at this point.
Go to the store and try the demo. If you like it, walk out with one. If not, get the one x.

yeah, I thought that was pretty silly too..
I honestly wouldn't, I feel like this phone is way too big and not very practical. There are great ROMs out there and the phone does have some bright points but I would much rather have a Nexus or something similar.
I should say I work out a lot and the Note has not been good for me in those regards, it's just too big to be comfortable. Also I have a lot of signal issues with this phone that have made me less than happy with it.
Just my experience though...
Stock modem is best for signal. If not, yours your service provider.

I "need" food and water to survive, not for you tell me what to do. The point of this thread is to happily listen to the various opinions posted, post my thanks for those posters for sharing valuable time, and decide, in time, what my next purchase is.
And the more I think on your post the more it infuriates the crap out of me. I'm extraordinarily curious as to what makes one "worthy" of a Note? Who appointed you the bestower of "worthiness" to the members of these forums. We were having such a nice discussion before you...
You know? I think it's time for a couple days off from the old XDA. Thanks much to everyone else who took the time to post, I appreciate it. We can close this one off.

Wow, I want some of whatever you are having.
Sure the "need" thing is arguably off-putting. But "worthy"? Did I miss an edit on the post that sent you off?
Eh, bottom line is what are your priorities? Don't think I saw what you were looking for in the original post. For me, I'd still have something with a real qwerty keyboard. I can't type with an iPhone to this date as it is just too small. When the Streak showed up, it was the first device with no physical keyboard I ever could deal with. The Note is the next step. As a bonus, it is the first Android device I ever saw or used that rivaled the ease of use of an iPhone (keyboard notwithstanding). Also the first device I had that weaned many of my iSheep friends away from the dark side. So far, all the converts are happy too. From lauding screen size, to app store choices, to not being annoyed about the speed of the device, they have all been happy.
So, what are you looking for?
As others have alluded to, posting something like this on the Note forum will yield predictably positive responses. Honestly, in this forum its approached i-Fan-like levels of blind following and I was surprised to see someone suggesting you not get it.
Am I happy with mine? Oh, hell yeah. Would I go to anything else? Um, nope. Unless the Note 2 ever shows up, and does something so much better than this thing. I'm currently looking to get a backup one, just in case. Even with as hard as Samsung is pushing this thing, the size isn't for most... I won't hold my breath (despite 5 million sold) that this becomes as popular as the iSheeplephone. I've got 2 Streaks on the shelf for the same reason.... Love the form factor.
I've been thinking about the Note for a while now. I tried to make a Pros/Cons list on whether to buy one or not, and ended up being a draw. Currently I've got a Galaxy Nexus.
I love the HUGE Screen, but it's still very "Samsung-y".
I like the big battery, but just bought an extended battery on my Nexus.
The Camera is really good, but not as quick as the one on my Nexus.
If I buy it, I'll have to extend my contract for 3 years, If I don't, I don't extend my contract.
There seems to be a counterpoint to every point in its favour.
All smart ass comments aside this is the best phone I've ever owned.

I was really up in the air about getting my note, I spent weeks debating it. Eventually I said screw it, I play around on my tiny galaxy S all day long -- the big screen will be so much better, so I got one and the big screen was so much better.
and I lived happily ever after.
