AW: iPhone 5 to Note II "Loving IT"
I have had my iPhone for like three years. All what Apple gets is complete ignorance of their customer needs. Even for new products or software updates, the so long awaited release was found to be at the end an integrated Facebook and a poor stupid maps app!
Bull****!
I got Galaxy S i9003 and it was superior to iPhone 4S!
Currently, I am a happy user of Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note 10.1.

Congrats. My wife wanted to switch to an iphone after two Android phones. She got the 5 and hated it when she realized it couldn't do half the things she wanted. I tried to tell her ahead of time. She swapped it for a Note 2 and couldn't be happier.

This baby replaced my ipad 3 and my Iphone 5.
No wonder apple stock has dropped so much, the way they are going they will the thing in the past. Just like what happend to windows mobile when iphone came. Samsung is taking over with help of android and google.

I switched in 2010 from the OG Droid to the iphone 4 and loved it. However ever since then Apple has been slow at evolving their OS and Android has been catching up until now when Android in my opinion is superior than iOS.
My iPhone 5 was a great reliable phone but without a jailbreak I just couldn't take it. I've been rooting/jailbreaking my phones since the OG Droid.
I did try out the Galaxy Nexus but it was a bit too laggy for my taste. However, the Galaxy Note 2 is by far the best phone that I have ever used.
I'm currently using Beans B6 and love it. Enjoy your Note 2. It's an amazing device.

If I could only have one phone, it would be the Note II but I also love my iPhone 5.
Yeah, I bought an iPhone 5 and returned it after 3 weeks. I'm no Apple hater, but love my Note 2 a lot more.

Getting a new AT&T phone on Tuesday and can't seem to pick between the Galaxy Note or the Galaxy S3. I know the specs for each and will be replacing the stock firmware with AOSP, so I'm pretty indifferent about stock software features.

Have you played with both phones in the store. All things considered i would get the not because you can't do anything on an S3 that can't be done from your note, but there are a lot of things the not can do that the S3 can't

I'm actually getting the gs3 in addition to the note I already have! My wife will take one and I will take one. Havent decided which but with Google sync I think we will switch back and forth because they're both great devices. I don't use the touchwiz spen apps at all Cuz I'm on aokp and will be on the gs3 so aside from the slight screen difference I really dunno what the diff would be

:silly: funny that every time a new size comes out we like its perfect. I can remember when 4 inches was the hotspot and 4.5 was too big, then 4.5 was perfect and 4 was too small. now 5.3 vs 5.5 lol. One thing everyone can agree on tho is iphone 3.whatever is way too SMALL.
I don't know how people get around playing with that tiny iphone, it's like tryng to eat a meal with a kid's toy tea set.
OP go with the note and we'll help you root it, overclock it, and flash a smooth as silk rom... You'll be saying SG... what?

Just like everyone else here I am absolutely loving my note. Hands down the best phone I've had yet. But I was wondering if anyone is curious about the Xperia Z. Watched a few videos, visited the site and just went through the specs. It might not be all around as great as the note 2, but its going to be a close competitor. With the 13 mp camera I am positive I'll be using my upgrade in October to get one, assuming Verizon offers it.

I've been looking at it to, it's a sweet looking device! The only thing (as usual) is the less than steller battery compared to the Note 2.

No not really, its a sweet lookin phone but the Note 2 is a beast. Also I thought it wasn't coming to Verizon? And I'm hoping the Moto X kills every phone when it finally hits, rumored to be sold on the play store with a low non contract price, killer specs and to be the first real Moto/Google phone since Google bought them and unlockable. I believe this will be my next phone.

Note 2 has bigger and brighter screen, and longer lasting battery than S3. Other than that, they are very similar.
DNA doesn't have a removable battery or allow you to add more storage. You're pretty much stuck with 16gig, which is what the Note 2 comes standard with, but the Note 2 allows you to expand up to an additional 64 gigs.
This topic HAS been beaten to death...but the Note 2 still wins

Don't forget the s-pen! That's the main reason I went with the note (along with screen second and battery third; and wanting to leave iOS - unrankable).
You might also wait until march to see what the S4 will offer. If you dont want to wait, most people a very very happy with their Note 2. I especially love the Note 2's battery life.
Whatever your choice is, good luck. And please search before you post. There are several people that dont mind helping, but it can be frustrating to help those who dont help themselves.

The SGS4 is likely 6-8 months off at this point. Their last release was in the summer, and every release before that was in the summer in the US (late spring internationally). If you want a phone now, I'd say get the Note 2, if you can wait, this coming summer/fall looks like it will be amazing
Well as of right now that's a rumor that the s4 will be out in March. Also I have a lg revolution which is the worst phone I ever bought

The international release has been 3-4 months before US Carrier release so far, so the earliest you'd see it is June/July in the US on VZW.

Lol I remember selling that phone when I worked for Vzw. It was great at the time but now...well you already know. I got my note2 on Xmas eve and I can't think of any other device I would own at this point. The spen opens up so many options. I find myself officially spoiled after owning this. No other phone on Verizon in my opinion can rival the Note2 unless you can't deal with the size.
Even Verizon and lg said the phone sucked. That's why the released the spectrum so quick

I wasnt saying the phone will be out in march. I said wait until march to see what it will have to offer. I was referring to it being announced in march. Either ar MWC or its own event.
Just to be clear: I agree the S4 will more than likely not be available for purchase until July in the US.
On a side note: my gf cousin works for a company that plans big events for corporations. They have been working on something big for Samsung. He was in town for christmas and was pretty much on the phone (ironically an iPhone) the whole time having teleconferences with Korea. My guess is the S4 but they dont get told the actual product until a couple of weeks out.

I think the Note 2 is the best phone out right now. All phones have compromises. S3 only has 1gb of RAM, DNA doesn't have expandable storage and battery life is so/so.
I've only had the note 2 a few days, but I've been a little disappointed with battery life. I'm coming from a Rezound with extended battery (2750mah). The battery life is similar to that and the Rezound got bashed for poor battery life. I was expecting a little more. Guessing it might get better after a few charge cycles. I find myself having to charge about an hour a night. The good thing is that it is a 2amp charger so it charges fast.

The S3 and the Note 2 should never ever be compared. They are totally different devices in almost every way possible. Not bashing you kintwofan, or anyone in particular, just saying these 2 devices should not even be in the same sentence.
It's more like DNA vs S3/4, or do I want a mini tablet with a Wacom pen.
Personally at this point I recommend you wait another month for the S4 reveal and see if that floats your boat OP. I would never recommend an S3 to someone, it's 2013. Especially not a US variant S3 which has horrible specs compared to most devices released in the last 6 months. So you want someone who owns a Note 2's opinion OP? Wait a month.

Im on Clean Rom, and since the phone is near perfect, hasnt really been a need for any of the devs to do any work.
I have both the Note 2 and S3 and prefer the S3 over the Note. Both phones are great, but I personally like the S3 better. The S3 is stock / rooted and the Note 2 is stock / unrooted which may have something to do w/ it. It seems there's more to do with the S3 as far as the Dev community, it's not too big and I have never had any issues with it. I've had the Note 2 for about 4 weeks now and sometimes it won't send a text message until I restart the phone.

The Note2 is light years ahead of the iPhone 5. Apple has a lot of catching up to do!
Yeah I've been an Android user since the g1 and couldn't think of ever using an iPhone. My wife loves her iPad but was tired of carrying that thing around so she traded her Samsung Alias (old ass flip phone) for the iPhone 5. After two days of use she complained about how small it is and her eyes were hurting from looking at it even with the enlarged font. So she went back to Verizon and got the same phone as me, the white Galaxy Note 2. She's been loving that thing since she entered her gmail address into it. She loves the size because its way bigger than that iPhone yet smaller than her tablet.

Same here, bro. At first I was like, what did I do, this thing is too big, can't use it one handed, but after 1 solid week of use, I was in love. Now after 3 months of use, I can't imagine using anything else. The "bigness" goes away very quickly. It looks normal size to me now. Anytime someone says,Damn that's a big phone, I am like, whaaa?
This phone seems small to me now that ive been using it for 2 months lol
I've had this phone for 2 weeks now and finally got used to the size (but I just picked up a UAG case and it feels big again). Switched from an iphone 5, but iOS is crap. Loving all of the customization with pacman rom.
