Anyone know when this phone will come to ATT?
I think this will be the best phone to end the year and start off the year for Sammy.. Anyone think the GS 3 is still the flagship ? cause I think this is the best phone now.:good: thoughts and opinions Plss

It has only just been announced and on blogs they're saying sometime in q4. But specifically for AT&T, no one knows.

Mid October likely. But I could care less. I'm quite content with the performance of the current Note, we have a well established and thriving dev community, and the current screen is better than the new one. And I have a GNex arriving tomorrow. I'll be good on phones until either the next nexus, the next galaxy s, or the next note.

Do you know if they will be releasing the north american version with the quad core since its compatible with Lte now?.
not feeling the 16:9
Some time next year. We usually get android devices in the U. S. a few months after the International version has been released.

Honestly, we don't know anything about the AT&T version. We can only speculate based on what we gather from IFA2012. So it'll actually be quite some months until we hear anything that might be truthful.
I hope people don't start with the: "I know a rep from AT&T and they said...."
The only Quadcore processor that can run with LTE is the Snapdragon S4 Pro currently. I'm thinking the US variants will have the Dual core snapdragon s4 like the GS3 and HOX but clocked at 1.6mhz. But if it does get the SD S4 Pro quad...it will fly!

Mid 1st quarter, 2013.....
AT$T will ride the GS3 bandwagon as long as possible..including the Chiristmas holiday season, as sales for the GS3 are far from over....IMHO
they dont want two flagship devices running at the same time. the back to back approach is common for them....g

Even though the GNex is already a year old almost I think it's a great phone with JellyBean and ONLY with JellyBean because I saw a lot of lag when using my friends phone (which has the original software on it).

Didn't the guy in the video post specs and it said the quad core exynos will support LTE (in selected markets that have the connectivity?).. i'm hoping it will have LTE connectivity. But battery ahhh it will destroy any battery even if it's 3,100 mAh...... *sigh*

I've played with the Verizon version on ICS and it's still buttery. Your friend probably had something else causing the lag. And you think I would really stay stock? Haha. I'm excited to get it. It will still get the next version of Android no doubt, and by them I'll be ready to buy another phone anyways. The nexus is for me too get into developing as well...just figured it would be best to go nexus for that. My note and nexus will last me plenty good.

His GNEX had virtually no apps except maybe 2-3 i saw on his one home page (yeah weird right? LOL)... the transition going from main street to the app tray was a bit laggy and scrolling through menus was a bit choppy too. maybe he had the original firmware on it therefore it wasnt updated to the latest ICS builds.
I'm still thinking about a Nexus with JellyBean. Seems to be pretty futureproof with project butter in place.
You wouldn't be disappointed. Just received mine yesterday, and I have no desire really to flash anything custom. JB on the nexus is simply amazing.

I plan on getting one. Even though it's already a few months old, I feel like it's one of the most "future proof" of current phones on the market right now.
Things like Exynos CPU/GPU, 1 GB ram, NFC, effectively maximum speed HSPA+... My Captivate runs quite comfortable at 1.3 GHz w/ Cyanogenmod and still beats the pants off of any stock Android device currently available in the States. That's 2+ versions of Android ahead of what it launched with (2.1 Eclair), and a 30% overclock of what the stock chip came with. By similar logic, the GS2 should last through Ice Cream Sandwich and beyond...
The Note looks awesome but if I wait for it then something better will be right around the corner, besides, been sitting on this upgrade since July

I thought the Note wasn't an actual phone. But meant to be something in between a phone and a tablet. I get why it's awesome. The display resolution.
But I'll be picking up the AT&T SGSII when it comes out. Can always sell it later when something much better is released.
I will be getting it on or close as possible to Oct. 2nd I have waited this long and learned my lesson. I WON'T be waiting for the next best phone from attention after this one, I will fork out the cash for an unbranded phone. Maybe the prime or SGS3 IN the near future

I'll be getting it on launch day for sure. I was debating on waiting for the Nexus announcement but the likelihood of at&t seeing a nexus device near launch is slim to none. I know there have been hints dropped about it launching as both cdma and gsm but there is no concrete evidence. So just going by history it will likely be a few months before at&t sees the prime.

Nexus Prime/iPhone 5 for me atm... but theres still a 10% chance that seeing the Att Attain in person could wow me into buying it but I highly doubt it. Don't like Att/Samsung giving Americans the middle finger by taking 6 months to bring it to the U.S.

It's either buy this on release date or wait for the Nexus Prime or HTC Holiday/Raider 4G for me. I've been phoneless since March so I'm not sure that I want to wait much longer for such a trivial upgrade (SGSII -> Prime/Holiday).
What do you guys think?
Is there any trick or loopholes in att contract that we can exploit to get an early upgrade? Or is there any way like may be paying something around 100$ to get an early upgrade?

Because it has potential, higher resolution is a big thing which is the only thing missing from sgs2.
Also 5.3 sounds big, but you never know it may be the sweet spot between a phone and tablet. It is definitely going to replace both my phone and tablet.
And then there is the stylus which is kind of cool to have and might come handy in lots of places.
The only thing which is disappointing is the software. I would have liked to see ICS, but they are shipping with ginger bread.

Leak pics and introduce on 05/22/2012 of the SIII? I usually change new phones every quarter until i got the Galaxy Note. I will certainly stick with this untill Note 2 coming out just because of the screen. Anyone here have the same idea?
SIII Specs:
Quad-core processor – Exynos 4412 with ARM Mali-400 GPU
4.8-inch Super AMOLED HD display
8MP rear-camera, 2MP front-camera (as suggested by a supposed image taken with the SGS3)
2GB RAM
4G/LTE
Ceramic Case

The screen will be the same?
But i agree... I will stick with the note as well. And i switch phones a lot too.

Wow, now those specs are awesome.. Just wish the camera was 12MP instead... But I def would cave in throw $300 @ that w/o a problem off bat. Might just completely hold out for this , the -.2" screen real estate wouldn't be missed coming from the Streak....
I feel like this is just a photoshop. Home button, power button on the opposite side? The home button especially. Doesn't fit in with the prospected worldwide launch, as I'm sure they would do away with the physical button for North America. To me the physical button in reminiscent of old smartphones. I'm certainly keeping my Note but if the s3 actually looks like this I won't be getting it as well. I have 3 upgrades to use this year lol but I'm not going to get a phone with a big clicky home button
Edit: This is definitely a photoshop. The volume buttons on the left are not shown from the side profile shot, showing the power and camera which would be on the wrong side.
I will pass not willing to give up on my 5.3 inch screen. Love my note.

Def getting the S3 when it becomes available, love the note just loved my beloved S2 more and miss it. Cant wait for the S3.
The leaked pics are BS.
Qualcomm doesn't have a quad-core chipset available yet.
Unless this runs on their 8960 chipset [that has an integrated LTE chipset] the performance of any S3 released before Q4 2012 would probably be very similar to the Note.
The leaked pictures are just mockups, and it's a good thing too. They wouldn't sell many with a phone that looked like that.
I, for one, won't be changing - I've been through three Android phones in the last year and finally found one that I love enough to keep for some time.
My wife, however, will be able to upgrade in August, and at that time I'm guess it will be curtains for the iPhone 4; I think she'd like the HTC One X but no one touches Samsung's screens right now, so it might be this one, if it's out by then.

If that's true (and they don't need to use Qualcomm) then scratch everything in my previous post.
That phone will blaze, undoubtedly, but I still don't foresee myself going back to a sub-5" screen again.

I'm pretty sure that was one of the concept pictures to the iPhone 5 that was all over YouTube before the 4S came out.

The S2 and the Note are already "valid" iPhone competitors.
The only thing apple has over any current android phone is a smooth OS, but that only lasts until the next major iOS update, at which point you're forced to get a new phone.
IMO, it's another bogus spec of SGS3

this time i'm undecided
normally i'm jump right into the next best Samsung device without much of a though, but without knowing what's in the bag this time, i'm not as eager to get it
however if it's really a Quad core and runs on AWS 1700, then i'll sure hit it
the problem is there are no official quad core exyno CPU announced by Samsung
and Tegra 3 or Tegra 4 is a no go, nVidia doesn't like open source, so do not expect any updates for your Tegra devices
and the Qualcomm S4 / S5 quad core doesn't look like to be ready yet for this year, it's been relatively quiet in that front
So I don't know if you all got this, but for some reason I wasn't billed the upgrade fee for my galaxy note since you could only preorder the note on a contract and not without one. If I am able top do this with the s3 I will probably sell the s3 and wait for CEA 2013 to roll around the corner.
Sent from the best phone in the world Galaxy Note!!!
I just bought an AT&T Note today from XDA but I'll be really tempted to switch to a SGS3 if it comes with Samsung Quad-Core & LTE. If I'm able to control myself, I'll wait to see if what Note 2 comes with.
Come july 1st i have an upgrade on sprint. Now i have been following the news surrounding the galaxy s III closely and when it was released, almost imediately i was sure i wanted it. However now that the us version has been released and reviewed I am not so sure. The specs on the galaxy s III on both versions are miles ahead of my original epic's. But, i am not so sure about the gpu of the us version. Its using a gpu from last year's (galaxy s II) phone. This is an issue for me because I like to play the gpu intensive games (at least the ones that my phone can run) nova, me, gta ect. I don't want to be put at a disadvantage when the adreno 300 series comes out later this year aswell as other new gpus. Also i am extremely woried about the gs3 fragileness. I was extremely fortunate that the epic was built like a tank. I dropped it a lot, while talking, texting, out of my pocket ect. It has survived through a combination of luck, build quality, and the active x seido case. However the gs3 from what i have seen breaks easier than an iphone 4(s). I am also not a big fan of svoice. I think the google speak thing works better. So as you can see my cons seem to be stacking up more and more. I don't care that it is dual core vs the quad core international, because quad core isn't optimized but like i said b4 the gpu on the s4 is old. Also I saw the upcoming specs of the lg eclipse and it seems better than the gs3. If it were by any other manufacturer, it wouldn't even be a question. I would just get that. But because i hate lg here is my question(s)
p.s. i hold onto phones for the whole duration of the contract so my next phone HAS to last me the two years
1. Should i get the gs3 or wait?
2.If i wait should i get the lg eclipse or no because lg software and build quality is crap?
3. Any chance the new nexus phones could have the specs i want?
A new nexus is around 8-10 months away and LG phones suck like crazy
And if you can play ganes on your of epic I'm pretty sure they will play nicer on the gs3
Its less worth it for me going from an et4g to the gs3 but I'm a phone junkie ill get it
And I'm pretty concerned about the easyness in breaking the phone so ill get some sort of protection plan

GS3 All the way
I love the GS3. I just got it the other day and it is an awesome phone. Very fast and blows my old Nexus S 4G away. I don't game much so I don't know how it performs playing a game. I ran a quadrant benchmark test and it ranked #2 right under the ONE X, but I believe that was for the international version.
It does seem a bit fragile though. I'm ordering an Otter Box as soon as the Defender model comes out.
All I can say is I love the phone and I would recommend it to anyone.
I just paid $550 for it because I didn't have an upgrade. I came from the s2 and I wouldn't say it's a huge upgrade but it's definitely a awesome phone and I'm glad I bought it
A few things are preventing me from getting the S3 now. The major one is Sprint's network as in Sprint's delay with LTE deployment and (currently) molasses slow 3g. More minor: I have an OG Epic and know that I will miss my physical KB. The last reason is I am hoping to see the 28nm low-power LTE chip phones, which will happen in 6 months or so but this is not a deal-breaker.
Wife's VZW S3 is on order.

If you're referring to the video made by those case makers I'd take it with a grain of salt. The GSIII is pretty tough, although it might be more fragile than the GSII.
Sprint's 3g is crapola here in Seattle so I can't do without the wimax on my E4GT. Lately 3g has gotten worse and wimax is better. I have an upgrade in September so I'm going to hold out until then. I might have more options like a new Nexus LTE rumored for November or maybe a Galaxy Note 2 on Sprint.
See whats worying me is i asked this on a forum for the phone itself. I would have thought i would have gotten a bunch of biased yeses. If i asked on the evo4glte forum i would expect to get a bunch of biased nos. But i seem to be getting maybes and yeses. So this is making me more afraid to take that step to a new phone.
So I see some rumors that the Galaxy Note II is due out in October - I've only had my Note for about 9 or 10 months but already starting to covet it. I could use the hairline cracks as an excuse, but really I just want the new features.
The other part of me things that it is a waste of money - in another year or so, the Galaxy Note III or some other phablet will be out, and the Note II price will drop, just like the Note price is about to drop.
Are you going to upgrade to the Note II? What are the reasons?
[Side question - is Samsung shooting themselves in the foot by releasing new phones every 4-6 months? I think it's a little crazy. I wanted a GSIII until I saw the rounded corners and felt the "tiny" screen in my hands.]
No. I'm perfectly content with my note. I'll probably upgrade next year. Maybe something even better will be out.
It just isn't enough of upgrade for me.

No, I mean the thing where you take a picture, and it actually takes like 5 pictures and let's you choose the best face of each person in the shot.
I want it for the battery life. the battery life in the current note is an absolute atrocity. but if they still have it charging at only 1 amp there is no way I'll buy it because it'll take an even more pathetic amount of time to charge. My phone is on the charger more than it is off the charger. literally.
I say no as well. The hardware upgrade is minor and any software features we could want will eventually filter into roms built by the XDA devs. I see no reason to leave the Note yet.
I'll wait until next spring or summer for the s4
Ha ha I'm upgrading just cause I'm an asshole and I have three lines available for upgrade in Oct Nov and Feb. Nothing better to do!?
Currently after seeing the specs, quad core with 2gb of ram, i want it.
Like my current phone i want to play with it at the store before buying it.
Hopefully it feels faster.
People say the performance is similar to the Note 10.1 and hopefully a bit faster since it will have Jellybean.

I may only upgrade of I can get the European version with LTE, quad processor and 2gb ram for UK use.
I think at this point, if you have a Note 1, you're off contract or at least upgrade eligible. I was wowed by the HTC One, and looking forward to the event last night for the S4, but I was looking for a more significant hardware change. Samsung seems to be more interested in adding more and more features, but none of them were "must haves" for me. I'll be going with the HTC One for my next phone, and will keep my Note for work.
If this is the S4, the Note 3 will likely just be a larger version, probably around 5.8 inches.
Ironically, Samsung seems to be following in Apple's footsteps - they've found success with a particular design, so they have no impetus to push it forward, while HTC is designing some pretty amazing things, partly because they've always done that, but mostly because they need to do so.
When I saw the S4, I immediately thought of Samsung's dig at the iPhone 4S in one ad - "If it looks exactly the same as the last model, how will people know I upgraded?"
Plus, with all of that software, I doubt the S4 will get Key Lime Pie in the same year it's released.
Here's hoping for a $99 Note 2 in the near future.
I'll be getting the s4, the s3 has a ton of dev support and I'm sure the s4 will have just as much.

Honestly, no, while I love my Note, I don't like the look of the the S IV or Note 2. I don't like the button and I want something that looks like it's awesome. I've been eying the HTC One quite a bit and as the HTC Hero was my first Android device it seems only fair that I go with them. However I don't want to go down on screen size. I'm not greedy enough for Huweai's (sp?) 6.3 inch screen, but definitely no less than the OG Note's screen. However the final deciding factor for me is how the whole JB thing has paned out. If I'm spending premium $$$ then I want the best for my money's worth, and that means the latest and greatest software. I'm not a mindless consumer that doesn't demand the best bang for my buck. Not only do I demand it, I also put my money where my mouth is.

Same here...
In not thrilled on the look but im tired of the og note and im sure there will be a ton of Dev support on it like most galaxy phones. I think the ONE is cool looking but I need a phone with removable battery and SD slot. The ONE doesn't have that so that's a no.

I'd have to agree with a couple of the posts above - the button doesn't excite me one bit. At the same time however, the Note isn't starving for power though. I know the Note 2 and S4 have much better hardware, but I just don't need it right now. We'll see what the Note 3 has in store for us, and then I'll go from there. For once though, I don't feel I *need* to upgrade.
I almost hate to say it, but I agree. This is the second time I've been burned by samsung (OG captivate owner) and I think I've learned my lesson here. The S4 does have some nice software features, but it didn't wow me as opposed to the S3 over the S2.
I think i'm waiting for the new Nexus phone or possibly the rumored Moto X phone. No replaceable battery or Micro SD is a deal breaker for me so I'm hoping at least one of the phones above support that though i'm not holding my breath on the nexus.
I love the speed of the JB roms, I just wish we had the drivers to have the roms stable. I gotta say that HTC did a great job with the One, if that thing had SD and removable battery, it would have been a grand slam.
MWC this year should be interesting.
Why don't you guys like the button? I don't mind it at all, to be honest. The super thin bezel is sweet too

If Nexus came out with a larger than 5 inch screen I'd jump right on it. Until something like that happen I'm going to keep on watching who treats their customers right and when it's upgrade time that's who'll get my money. I'm in love with the stylus and the screen size of the Note, but customer loyalty is a big factor when it comes to spending my shekels. You treat me good and I'll spend good money.
As far as why I don't like the button, it just seems old school and takes away from the elegance I want for $200 + device. And as far as the unremovable battery and lack of sd card slot...I can deal with that because you can't even really move apps to the sd card any more. And my N7 is the same way and we get along marvelously. All in all it's a preference thing.

Considering the Note 3 comes out in September with a 6.3" screen I'll just wait for that. Got the note 1 in August so I can upgrade my phone when it comes out.

I don't see any reason to upgrade just to have the newest thing. (Think about it SERIOUSLY. The "S" phones are Samsungs fanboy phone really. This is the phone that the AVERAGE user buys just because it's "new"....mostly Iphone converts and people that just want to have the "newest thing" to show off) Honestly, when I saw the s4 I was thinking, "wow, nice Note2 with a faster CPU". I didn't look at EVERYTHING the s4 is offering (software and all) but if I were to upgrade now (I have 4 upgrades I can use anytime I wish), I'd just get the Note 2 and be done with it. After using the OG Note (and the Dell Streak before this phone), I just can't see going to a smaller screen. Like dvdivx said, the Note 3 will be here before we know it and the S4 will look like a kids toy compared to what that phone is going to bring. They can call the S4 the "flagship" all they want but if you have read anything about what the N3 "is going to have" and then look at the specs of the S4 you can see that this phone is nothing but a little brother to the Note3. To me, the S4 release changes a lot of the N3 "rumors" to FACT and because of that, I'm not interested at all in this phone. Not to mention that there will be as many people walking around with the S4 as there are IPhone users. "I have the S4! It's the newest thing"......yeah well, I stopped thinking like that when I walked away from Apple FOREVER.
I'll be holding on to at least 3 of my upgrades though because there are BIG things coming at the end of the year from everything I've been reading. This might just be the year that changes what a smartphone looks and feels like. ( I'm sure there are some of you that know what I'm talking about)

I won't be getting the S4. I'm looking forward to the Note 3, hopefully 6"-6.3" screen and a bigger battery than the Note 2.
Ive had my note since launch day and I have 1 upgrade available now another another in November so I can't wait. I love my note 1 but I want some official JB and I kind of miss TW after playing with a coworkers note 2.

The S4 just isn't bleeding edge. It's just got some upgraded components that all the other phones are getting. Not interested. It would have been an awesome phone a year ago. It's an S3+, but the lemmings that will buy it have no clue.
I'm not eligible for an upgrade until early 2014. I just purchased the s3 on eBay and I'm planning on parting ways with the note 1. Next time I do upgrade, I'll probably go for the s4 or even the note 2 since they will probably be much cheaper by then with a contract extension

Why bother? The US version will probably not have the dual quad, just single quad.. So yes, more CPU than the current S3 but not a big deal. Same ram. Software I couldn't care less about.
Might as well save money on an S3, it's otherwise basically the same phone.
That said, nope. Maybe the Note 3 sometime, unless it's much bigger than it is today. I like my Note 1, but if it gets much bigger I'm not sure it's feasible.
Maybe we'll see

The fact that only the international version will come with the exynos 5 octa core while we'll get the Qualcomm in the US is a disappointment for me, and will be the only reason that as of now I'll say no, not getting it.

I will not get for the s4 either.
I definitely want to wait for the note 3 though. I can't get anything else now that I am used to the note. But, will the note 3 really get that big of a screen?

I myself want to get the note 3, but not so sure, if it will have a 6.3 inch, that's just to big to carry on the front pocket. That is .7 shy of carrying a 7 inch tablet in your pocket.
