Contract coming up soon. Do I wait for note2 or go for s3?

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?

Because now it will be almost impossible to move to a smaller screen.
It's huge, sharp, bright, has wacom support, high contrast, and completely perfect. There's no going back....
Anyone else feel the same way?
It's gonna be hard to go to the inevitable sgs3. I plan on keeping my note throughout though, as a Wi-Fi tablet/ in car media center
I don't even have mine yet and I agree. I played with it for 15 minutes or so yesterday, and now I can't wait to upgrade from my Infuse. And the size is so perfect. I know that the Note will only be able to be replaced by its successor when Samsung releases it. I hope they continue the series, as I will be a Note user for life if they continue it. Hell, I could even go for a slightly larger screen if they manage to figure out edge to edge displays that will fit in a similar sized package. Samsung has nailed the future of mobile devices with this one. Completely secured my loyalty to them through the Captivate, Infuse, and soon the Note. I can't get over how awesome of a device it is, even though I don't have one to call my own yet.

I have dreams of full CM9 w/ the S Pen apps baked right in.
I didn't realize i had missed the AMOLED screen from the cappy until i came back to it with the 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.

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 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.

best of both worlds, all the goodies from T727 + HD screen

I don't think I can go back to my nexus now after playing with the note all day. With only 18% battery left, I had to give it a rest. That big screen will spoil you.
I've done this.. I have both running.. Frankly I love he nexus.. So light and quick.. ICS is amazing.
Now. I'm using the note, didn't take me long to fall in love with it. I absolutely love the large a screen. The s-pen is great for meetings and making notes.. I am however anxiously waiting for he ICS update

The Note II was rumored to be a monster performance and S III leave to dust, you might wait. But if you prefer a smaller screen buy the S III.

I think it is not possible to answer the question because every few month
a new generation appears.
If note 2 is released you can also ask: Note 2 or wait for Galaxy Nexus 2,
if Galaxy Nexus 2 is released you can ask: Galaxy Nexus 2 or wait for Galaxy S4 ...
The right time is never found, or buy now or never ;-)
Have to agree. There will always be something new coming out. Get the GSIII. Its an awesome device. You can always sell it if you really want the Note2 when it comes out.

There will always be something a bit better around the corner.
I'd recommend the GS3. Not only is the hardware very good, but because so many people have bought them, there should be plenty of pressure to support the device well, remove any minor residual bugs etc. Enjoy it now.
like people said..it depends on what you prefer. The S3 4.8 screen is perfect for me..fits just nice in my pocket any bigger it wouldnt be that comfortable to carry around when I dont have my bag with me.
I will be certainly getting the Note 2 no matter what<<
The key is you have to know what you like. Would the phone fit your life style. If we all said yes and you bought it because of our vote. You will blame us if you didn't like it afterwards.
If you like to switch phones around, You can always sell and trade.

I think they sold great. I saw many many people in my daily commute trains with Note 2. Surprisingly, many are girls with verizon white version.
I see people with N2s all the time. Might be areas had less advertising? I do see people with more S3s than n2s though. I would say I actually see more samsung phones than iphones now a days.

Exactly, I see more Sammy phones in my area than iPhones now. Before the release of the S3 and Note 2 it was the other way around. I predominantly see people with AT&T and VZW Note 2's, a few S3's, and maybe 1 iPhone on my trips to town. In fact my local VZW store only keeps 2 iPhones of each size/color in store because they sell so slowly.
Honestly I think the N2 on VZW sold like hotcakes. Possibly as good or, hopefully, better than the S3.

Check Craigslist. Used GN2's STILL sell for $500+. I like to bounce around phones and try them all. What's the point when the N2 does everything? I'll probably switch to the S4 soon but that's not to say I wont get the N3 when it comes out. Samsung is doing it right.
Apple is losing market share, HTC is barely hanging on (sealed battery doors and no expandable memory - WTF??), and Motorola is doing it's thing. They build great phones but the locked bootloader is a NO for me...although Google is in bed with them now and recently someone "cracked" the HD/M military grade bootloader so we need to watch out for new stuff from Moto. But my money is still on Sammy. Same for my Allshare Cast, GN10.1, laptop, and TV.

I don't think that well. Two months after the release VZW knocked down the price $100. doesn't seem like they would do that if it was selling really well.
Every verizon store I went to in greater Orlando area never had some left. The flipcases for white were always also sold out but they had plenty of the itanium or whatever flips and 1-3 of those in stock.
Also on swappa theyre selling fast...and on ebay too so! Its doing well. Maybe some like me ordered oem parts and did a part switch to remove branding or its just hidden behind the flip/case.
Everytime I pull out the phone people comment about it, so I decided to stop bieng vzws free advertising.

Not sure where you're getting your info, but it's still selling at the release price of $299.99 and it's 5 months out. They might have run a sale or special on it at some point, but the website still lists it at $299.99 right now. It's more expensive than the S4.

I think that price is the only thing keeping it from retail bliss. Everyone who doesn't want the note to begin with thinks its an oversized S3. So....they would go for the s3 at 50 bucks versus 4x as much for what they think is nearly identical....when its not.

I purchased one also, and at full damned price! My main reason for that was because VZW and Sammy refused to acknowledge the radio issues, which made the S3 unusable at my house while the Note 2 gets as good if not better service than the Motorola phones I have used, and when I asked if they would send a different S3 out for me to test and see if it was just an issue with my phone they refused and offered to send me an original Razr...... I decided that I wanted to keep my unlimited, I had an upgrade, and actually be able to use my phone to make calls so I gave in and bought the Note 2.
I must say that this is the first phone I have been 100% happy with after using it for 3 or 4 months, usually something better has come out and I get fed up with the bugs but with the N2 I can fix the bugs myself, what few there are, and it is the first phone that has actually fit my hands perfectly.
This phone sold like hotcakes when it first came out in my town, for the first 6 months they would sell out the day they got their shipment of them in the store. They sold so fast here that the store had a list of people wanting it and they would call when they got a shipment, it takes me ten minutes to get to the stores and by the time I would get there they were all gone. Walmart and Radioshack were also always sold out so I finally just had to give in and order it off Verizons website. They still sell extremely quick here but now they usually have at least 1 by the time their next shipment I comes in.

The typical font size on the Note is definitely easier on the eyes than the iPhone or even 4.3"screens for me. My vision isn't bad to the point where I need reading glasses, but when I switch between phones the size of the Note is really easy to like.

Oh, also if you hate having people looking at you and saying "WOW! That is a big phone..." or "What is that?" or "Is that the note?" You might want to reconsider. Wait till they see the mega LOL!!!
