The device is in a dummy box just like Samsung did to cover the design of the s3 look closer at the first pic and you will see that the top and bottom is curved but I'm not sure about the LCD.
The nexus one didn't have a curved screen and only Samsung has made curved screen nexus. I would like a curved screen though, and that true IPS display will look amazing

It's unfortunate you included so much identifying information here, as the phone will probably get remotely disabled now if it is indeed a prototype.
Well, looks like the device is Mako and the firmware could be called adudani. This is epic.

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.

The three biggest advantages of nexus are
1. Software availability - they have full support of Google.
2. For me Google wallet is a big plus - that alone makes me consider a trade sometimes.
3. True penta band - if you are on T-mobile then this is a great thing too.
Hopefully over time all of the above will be available on Note (perhaps some alternative carrier backed payment system rather than the wallet and the modem from t-mobile Note) - but do you want to wait?
I love the note and don't want any of my friends to see this post but want to be objective here.
On the flip side, I've seen many Nexus users complain about lack of sd card, and the curved screen means you cannot get that cool glass on glass screen protector. Also no LTE for AT&T if you care about it. Tough call, sure
With alpha 2 ics ROM PLUS the tablet mod dagr8 just put out I would never consider it. I love the combination more then words could say

Because once Samsung officially releases ICS, they will be forced to release source code which means we will start seeing REAL ICS development for the Note like Cyanogen or other AOSP projects.
Im personally still completely stock and unrooted because every rom out there for the Note is basically just a themed rom with a few tweaks. I want freedom.
Now, once a complete AOSP version of Android is available, the Note will look just like the Nexus except it will get better support than what Google offers (my brother living next door to me has a Verizon Nexus and is still on 4.02), receiving updates probably at least once a week if not even possibly nightly.
Oh, and my understanding is that Google wallet is still not working on the Verizon Nexus. As far as Google wallet working on the Note, Im not sure if this is a carrier related thing or software related. I know the Note can do NFC, maybe Google prevents it based on what kind of device you have (similar to the Chrome beta).
Just get both.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
im thinking about get the galaxy nexus also...$399....tempting..
Only thing that's hard for me to say do it is the camera, this 8MP is gorgeous. I don't know why Samsung put a 5 MP camera in the nexus when they have already had a great 8 out. This by no means it's a replacement to a dslr, but when I do use it, I'd like it to look good, already better than my old Evo's 8+5. I saw it for sale direct from Google for 400 and pumped the brakes when I saw that. They carefully word around it like 1080 and HD, but I don't want high definition blocks. Even this camera to an extent doesn't look GREAT on a 55".

Hello.
So, Yeah. I'm going to get something new.
After I had unfortunate accident when my Droid RAZR broke in my pocket without any crash, I'm receiving new one for warranty and decide to change something, because I hate when phone breaks without reason
I live in Poland, so I need something that reach europe.
What I need... Specs comparable with RAZR (CPU and RAM. Some nice GPU would also be nice), Screen at least same quality as it and overall nice quality.
It would be also welcome to be easily moddable with decent amount of Custom ROMs for it. Official/Unofficial CM support is also welcome.
And one more thing. No SGS2. I'm tired of it.
So. Any propositions?
Thanks in advance!
Galaxy S II is old, why would anyone suggest it with the Galaxy S III is out? If you're tired of Samsung then go for an HTC One X. If not, the Samsung Galaxy S III is waiting to love you. I'd suggest a Nexus but you seem to be pretty content with rooting and ROMs so I guess it isn't necessary.
How about Galaxy Note 2? Supposed to be announced at end of month

If you like rooting and roming, go with the Nexus. Otherwise, Galaxy S III or One X.
Ooh, go for the Xperia gx. Actually, scratch that. I don't think it's available in Europe yet... maybe the acro s... damn I'm not really sure when it comes to Europe.
Sent from my X10i using xda app-developers app
go for the one X, but rooting it might be a bit difficult, if so, then go with a nexus!
I would suggest a Galaxy Nexus. Nexus devices always get the official updates first and will be supported for a long time (for example: Nexus S got JellyBean, Galaxy S which has almost the same hardware has not even gotten official ICS...)
Get Galaxy Note 2. It will be released in few days.
Galaxy s3 is an awesome choice too.
Sent from Samsung Galaxy S3 T999
The nexus s is very close in spec to your RAZR. The camera isn't as nice, but fantastic device none the less. You can get them cheap right now too.
The SGS3 is an incredible device. It blows away the RAZR in performance from every angle.

If you can get a Galaxy S III go for it because Samsung just came out with the official jelly bean OTA , otherwise Galaxy Nexus ftw...
The Galaxy Nexus does not have a gorilla glass display , only a scratch resistant one...I haven't really tested mine by putting it in my pocket with my keys lol, but If you get a decent screen protector you won't have any problems...
Gorilla Glass is a big plus , but its a small price to pay for the software experience you're getting out of this phone...Pure AOSP Android experience , you will get the latest updates FIRST, and not have to wait like with the SIII for example...or any other phone for that matter...
Plus its a pretty powerful phone..well worth its money right now if you don't care about the mediocre camera...(which I personally think is fine...1080p video at 30fps , with decent lighting it records great... Photos are OK as well so...)
OR if you're good at waiting you can wait for the new nexus to come out that might have a GG display, but Google hasn't even announced it officially yet so...

Your leak on the original Note was spot on, so I'm excited to see what you dig up, even if you don't get a chance to take pics.

aww dat sucks, oh well hows the da to day running of the tab? is it efficient, much lag?
I have been using it for reading and browsing mostly and it works really well. One thing I noticed is how accurate the colors are on the screen. I compared it to my Nexus 5 and it seems the colors are more accurate on the Venue. (I compared my favorite teams colors.) I think for daily activities this tablet works good thanks to the speedy 2Ghz processor. I haven't done any gaming though. Overall, I like it.

Wow, so I got to play with one of these today and while I like the size, my goodness the screen was unusable. Not that it wouldn't take my input its that it would hit somewhere else on the screen. It was a floor model so naturally it was messed around with and in German but I could not for the life of me get the Gallery app to open.
I want to have tablet as a portfolio of sorts for my photography so I wanted to see how images looked. Sure I could get the Nexus 7 with its higher resolution but I like the size of 8" tablets. That 1" really does equate to more screen room. Heck 7" isnt much bigger than my 5.2" phone. The only real other options are the Samsungs Tab/Note which I am not found of and the LG Pad/Tab 8.3 which would be my first choice except the price.
I should receive mine in the next few days! Hope that a dev will also get one and start looking at it

That 1" really does equate to more screen room. Heck 7" isnt much bigger than my 5.2" phone. The only real other options are the Samsungs Tab/Note which I am not found of and the LG Pad/Tab 8.3 which would be my first choice except the price.

May have been a bad unit or may be it was lacking the firmware updates (there were 2 since launch). The gallery app works as it is suppose too. While the resolution isn't the best compared to a 1080p screen the colors look very good. Not in "saturated" good but in "natural" good. You're right about the extra inch: 8 incher feels more like tablet than the 7 incher does.

Anyone know about getting 4.4 on this thing?
I'm all for rooting and what not, but I really want the photo editor of KitKat. Im a photographer and that editor looks super cool so 4.4 is important to me.

I've read somewhere that it will get it in the future. Ah, found it: http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/02...-7-and-venue-8-android-tablets-prices-set-a/

Good find. But seems like thin info and unless I don't know about them, I don't believe there are any models with 4G as noted.

I think 4G models will be available later.

as with all newer phones and tablets, remember tech companies like samsung, dell acer, etc like to push out updates for their newest devices first then going backwards to slightly older and continuing till they want to cut em loose with the updates. so that means 4.4 will be released to the venue 8 is thats only inevitable, the question just remains when? maybe not till holiday season is over though simply because im assuming dell is gonna have a goood ole time keeping up with production once tomorrow and the weekend hits.
who knows? just enjoy it till then.
so excited for toorrow to order
btw how long does shipping usually take? (if anyone ordered in in canada yet)
