So this is my story, thought maybe someone would enjoy hearing it. And this story involves my s3, but I'm telling you guys cause i like this forum better lol.
My mom sent me to the Mall to see if the line was too long for my sister to get an iPhone when she got home from college today. (Line was super short compared to when i camped out for my ip4, shameful i know )
I was leaning over the railing looking at the first floor ( Apple store is on second floor) I was texting my mom about the situation on the line, when an older gentlemen came up and tapped me, he asked "Do you like your phone" I was like of course I love it. He then asked was I going to be trading or selling it for the iPhone, I was like no way i fell for that with the ip4 then a month later traded it for the original galaxy and haven't looked back since owning every galaxy. He said me either then pulled out his I.D. he worked for Samsung Atlanta, and he flashed me his galaxy, and thanked me for my loyalty to Samsung gave me a $25 mediahub credit and gave a smirk to the fools in line haha. Not much but i thought it was cool

So I was helping a guy at the home depot I work at. I saw the Guy had a S2 skyrocket and asked him how he liked it, then I showed him my Note I just got. Turns out he works for AT&T corporate. He new about the Note but wasn't really familiar with it, so I got my gadget geek on and showed off what the Note can do and then talked about the network around Atlanta.
So I went into work for an hour today to help out on a special order and I had a message with a contact number. So I call and it's someone from at&t, she told me that Guy I helped was so impressed with my knowledge and passion on mobile that he gave the info he had on me to her. Now she wants me to come in and discuss opportunities with business sales. It's face to face stuff mostly (not a call center).
Update: Got an interview on Tuesday at one of their corporate offices.
Update2: So I interviewed with them on Tuesday and it went very well. They said they have some in house promotions about to happen in a few weeks to a month and they would be contacting me again when they know more about the upcoming opens on their floor. It would be a 8-5 job with base salary and commission with business sales in the mobility division.

I could sell the sh*t out of some phones. Haha. It's funny how uninformed the sales clerks are at some stores. I literally saw an At&t employee trying to sell an iPhone to a guy based purely on Siri, and couldn't even get it to work. Her explanation was that "it just doesn't work sometimes, but it's still a really great feature"
Sad thing was, the guy walked out with an iPhone that day. If only I could have saved his poor soul...

Thanks! Definitely will keep you guys posted.
Got my interview scheduled and she asked me about being able to work full-time. So I think that's a good sign.
I walked in lastnight to buy my Note and the sales lady greeted me. We talked about the note for a bit, went to the display model and gave it a quick whirl and then I went through with placing the order for my upgrade.
I was there maybe 35 - 40 minutes and during that time, the same display model that I had used earlier, was stolen. They just left the back of the case attached to the security plug and took the body/battery.
There had to have been about 12 - 15 ATT store employees there and no one saw anything. Ofcourse they have video and the IMEI number so as soon as the phone is activated they can shut it down, but that was just incredible to me that someone had the balls to pull a stunt like that.
Drama aside, I'm loving the hell out of my white note! I'm 6-1, 225 coming from an Atrix and now that 4" screen looks like a toy. My wife is appalled at the size, but she's an ifangirl so... what can ya do lol
Haha, an ifangirl eh? Have to work on that man! I'm loving this phone too and I'm also coming from an Atrix. HUGE improvement. Recently converted the parents from their isheepism to the dark side of Android. Now the dad is rocking a Razr Maxx and the mom is using a Galaxy Nexus (they are on Verizon.) I think I did pretty good with that conversion! Lol. They are addicted to Android now, like I am.
That's unreal it was stolen while you were there. You made a killer phone choice, enjoy.

Yeah, the person who took the phone is on video and that IMEI is effectively a paperweight at this point. I hope it was worth it to the thief... I almost feel bad for that craig's list /ebay victim if they sell it that way.

LOL.. I could always elaborate...
I have somehow managed to convince an iPhone 4s user and a Nexus user (both close colleagues @ work) to switch to the AT&T Note just by allowing them to play with my toy. The Nexus user is a Verizon customer that is now seeking to switch to AT&T. That's pretty special IMO.

It does feel good when you show someone your phone and they automatically love it. I had a Dell Streak before the Note and converted 2 people from iphones to the Dell Streak. My dad even got the Streak but he converted from blackberry. Now my dad and i have the Note and we each have showed someone and both people got the Note when it was on sale at frys for $199.

I had a random awkward encounter today, but it still put a smile on my face. I was waiting for my next class and reading xda on my note, when a completely random girl, who I noticed had been standing nearby for about 5 minutes, walked by and simply said "nice phone" on her way into a neighboring class. I only had time to say thanks before she was in her class, but it was cool that she apparently knew what phone it was and acknowledged it.
Not that I'm looking for attention at all, but I love the simple conversations it can start with people, and I think people are really starting to realize how awesome Android phones can be. I enjoy showing people my Note and the awesome things it and Android can do.
With Android in general, I have loved being different from everybody that has an iPhone, which is seemingly everybody at my college. Even more so, I like how the Note stands out even more, as I guarantee not a single other phone on the market would have piqued that girls interest around my school, as all you see are iPhones, nor would she gave distinguished it from being any other old regular Android phone. This phone is turning heads, and people have taken a huge liking to Samsung recently.

I'm still getting uninitiated attention in public randomly. This has carried over to the Note from the Streak.
Like if I'm in a regular shopping-type of center, and just standing around using my phone, some random passerby's will notice me and ask about what I'm holding.
But I definitely think this would stick out most in a university lecture hall type of environment.
From asking some random local at&t store sales reps, they said a good share of both genders have purchased the Note. I initially was guessing that it would be mostly guys buying them.
While we're waiting for our phones, I thought I would start a thread where we could just talk without worrying about going off-topic. If you want to talk about how other phones compare to the Evo, rant about rotten fruit and the vegetables that use them, etc, than this is the place.
Just please remember that all of the forum rules still apply here though.

lol, I've been preparing for this moment for a long time
My ex old lady used to always say she thought I was psychic afterall, or was it psycho.. don't remember
I've been having problems with my OG Evo for like a month now. I didn't know about the charge dock problems even though I'm always here flashing new roms. I was anxiously waiting for the new one and then all of this happened. For a while, I was seriously considering cancelling my order but then I realized that that would be a win for Apple and I could not contribute to their gain. I decided to wait patiently for my phone.
In terms of the patent I think its BS, and this is coming from a software engineer. I don't want to go deep into that discussion but working with code is a whole different ballgame.
In terms of the whole GS3 vs. EvoLTE vs. iPhone5 thing, I think both the GS3 and the EvoLTE are good phones. I don't know much about the iphone5 specs yet. What I can say is that apple products are not that unarguably better overall for them to have so much money and crazy fanboys right now.
The best apple product was the iPod by far. It revolutionized the industry. Everything else from there has come off branding. You can argue about the OG iPhone and iPad being nice too but that feels like a century ago. Like I said, everything else is marketing. Its funny people buying expensive macs just to log in to facebook and serious customers run parallel half of the time to use windows programs.
Right now, we have competition and we have android developers working their a** off to get a small share of the pie and that's why I can't cancel my order. After I read this, I was shocked by how this blind fanaticism is hurting the industry around the world. I don't wanna be a part of that. Like I said, some Apple products are great, but they are not unarguably so ahead of the curve for them to be squashing everyone that easy. My two cents...

Awesome I guess, but who cares thats not off topic man!
Lets continue the talk about Nascar ... Yes I saw all the branding and yes it ticked me off..
Now watching the New cars at Indy, wow they are funny looking. I can't get used to them. They do go fast though, unless of course your car has a Lotus motor in it... those suck. Chevy is dominating! YES!
I got a new job that came with a company car and an iPhone.
I am very happy about the car, the iphone not so much. I gave the iPhone fare chance (3 weeks) before deciding that I officially hate it. I have decided that I will be keeping my personal line (Evo 3D) and only use the iPhone for business stuff. I really don't see what the obsession is with the iPhone. IMO the iPhone 4s is crap when compared to my Evo 3D. The only thing that I like about it is that it feels like a solid phone, I don't think it could withstand a drop all to well though.
When I went into the apple store to buy a case for my iPhone this weekend the person asked me how long have I owned this iPhone for and I told her about 3 weeks. She then asked me how do I like it and being the honest person that I am I told her that its the biggest pos on the market right now and if I would have spent my own money on it I would have returned it the first day. I don't think that she expected to get an answer like that because she had a look on her face like I just shot her entire family. Needless to say she didn't help me pick out my case.
Question for anyone thats ever been in an apple store, doesnt it feel like you just walked into a cult. These people are like mindless sheep just grazing on the BS that is apple. I don't think I ever want to go back. Well that the end of my book.

I once went into an apple shop to have a look at the Iphone 4 when it came out.
Someone came over and asked how i was finding it, I said I prefer Android phones.
He then said "No-one ever says the "A" word here".... Made me laugh
Regardless of where i shop if a person in retail is nice to me i try to be nice back. Dealing with the public is difficult and i'm glad i don't do it anymore. You were an ass and should go back and apologize.

So being honest about not liking something when you were asked is being an ass and deserve an apology? Wow...

No a simple it's not for me would have been fine. It's the biggest pos is overkill. The girl didn't build the phone,design the phone, or is tim cooks sister. She probably makes 10 bucks an hour and has a boss breathing down her neck about being nice to people. It's the same in any store be it a fruit product or an android product, or mcdonalds.

I thought that was funny.
I get the same feeling when I go into the local Att Store. 3 or 4 people standing there doing nothing. I have an Att Data plan and went in there to discuss some problems and they told me to call Att. I said well isn't this Att?
I ended up having to call some tech in India. "Mindless sheep" is right.

I wasn't nasty to the girl, I just gave her my opinion. I didn't yell and I wasn't trying to be a **** it just came out. You are under the impression that I went in there with an additude and I was trying to be a jerk. I was just trying to make conversation. I didn't say anything negative towards her at all. If someone asks me how I like a product that they are selling I am gonna tell them how I like the product.

You know he may not have said the actual words or even pos.to the person people do change stories to make them more dramatic even if they don't mean to hell he could have said its junk but put pos to give us a laugh. Also if she's making 10 a he at a iPhone store then I'm doing something wrong being a vet and making 10 a hr. I have worked in a grocery store as well and I understand the customer.thing but I NEVER ever expect someone to say I'm sorry for crap. Why because if they are rude to begin with I know they won't say sorry because people are selfish manors are a thing.of the past sadly for most people.

I'm sorry i read your post wrong I just don't like it when people are jerks. Many times i've walked up to people working who have been berated by customers and told them to not worry and they did fine. There are too many a-holes in the world. Think if it was your son or daughter who was working the counter. It's still just a phone or a burger or whatever.
Congratulations for your new Job and car and sorry for your iPhone.

I wouldn't apologize dude, you're spot on with your comments. Shame on the OP for the over-dramatization, but congratulations on your new job, car, etc.

I bumped my comment not the thread. Thread is fine.
*here I'll go back and say something.
Only people I recommend iPhone to is those that aren't very tech savy because as long as they can tap icons they can work an iPhone. I can't have a phone with so much user limitations as the iPhone.
I remember one day I was with a few friends having dinner. Total of about 12 phones. 5 of them were androids.. Nobody's android phone looked the same physically and the homescreens were all nice and customized. The iPhone users were about 7 and they all looked the same. Most even had the same wallpaper. Reassured my love for Android.
I have nothing against apple.. It's just not for me.

Either way, people choose (directly or indirectly) to work in those jobs. They knew the risks of dealing with the public.
About 80-90% of everyone in the general public is an asshole. You gotta be able to take a joke when you work food service or retail.

I just got an iPhone 4 for work. I was hoping that they would do anything Android but no. After jailbreaking it isn't the worst thing in the world... Not for free anyway.

Lol. When I went to pick out my first smart phone it was between the iPhone 4 and the HTC evo. I had done all the research and it came time to actually go to the store and look at the time. I was honestly going into it with an open mind after putting my apple hatred aside. I looked at the iPhone first and while it did have a very nice design, it just felt so boring. All you have is a background with a bunch of icons laid over it. I told the lady I wasn't impressed and I was thinking about the evo and she goes oh well we will have the HTC aria very soon I think you would like that. I kind of laughed and walked out lol.
Then I went to the sprint store. The evo blew my mind. The screen was HUGE, and I'm a sucker for big screens. Then it had all the widgets and the live wallpaper. And it had a freaking kick stand! I was sold right there.
Since then I've only grown to love android even more and everything you can do with it. My brother bought me the new iPad for my graduation and while the screen is incredible, again goes back to my first thoughts of ios. It's just so bland and boring. Browsing the web is very nice but that's about all I use it for.
