I haven't put my Note for sale on swappa but, I did list it for sale or trade locally and was offered a very good condition 16gb iPhone 4s + $300 for my Note.
I know I should be able to get $600 for the Note but, I think the 4s is only worth about $200.
Would you all make the trade?
I wouldn't just because I couldn't do the tiny iPhone screen. However if you're okay with it then that's actually a good deal.the iPhone runs 300 still. I would try for 350 though to make it a great deal.

Bad trade. At least get the 5 and not the 4s. W/ that said, going back and forth to the 5 from the N2 it's retarded tiny screen really bugs me lol.

I guess if you really need to have an iPhone for work or something consider it but I have both my Galaxy Note 2 Titanium and my 64GB iPhone 5 in black sitting on the desk in front of me and I would never EVER consider trading my Note for an iPhone. The Note blows the iPhone away in every aspect except market content.
No contest.

+1 did the same the other day idk how people go thru the day with those tiny screens. I picked up my gnex yesterday though and typed on it and had a hard time and i had that for over a year and made it fine so i guess it all prefrence. But an iphone is much different then a gnex.....bottom line wouldnt consider trading my note for an iphone 5 straight up. NEVER!!!!

Its all perception. You would cringe at first, but a few weeks with an iPhone and you would get used to the screen size. Back before Android phones got giant (Think around the Droid Incredible/Droid X days) the phones like the Incredible (3.7in) felt normal and the phones like the droid X (4.3in) seemed gigantic. Now that you are used to the Note 2 it may be hard to go back to 4in but when you had a 4in phone I don't think you always cringed while looking at it.

lol, exactly.
I still have a mint condition TP2. I was playing with it the other day.
i can't believe I loved that phone so much. Now, it just seems so small/laggy etc....
Honestly, if I was to trade phones "AT THE MOMENT" the only phone I see worth of trade is the iPhone 5. Anything else would need cash on top. The iPhone has a better build of materials. And to be completely honest the software "Apps" on iOS is still dominating Android. Especially in the game department...
Any other phone trade would need cash on top.

I completely disagree with this. Although I agree that when the first 4.3" screens were coming out I thought they were huge, I feel that you can get used to the bigger screen, but it doesn't work going back the other way. I went back to my Droid 2 after my GNex's touch screen stopped working and tried to live with that tiny screen for 2 months before the GS3 came out and I bought that. OMG I was so happy to get a decent sized screen back again. I feel I could confidently go back to a 4.7" device without much fuss, mainly because I miss being able to completely one hand a device, but anything smaller nowadays and you're just missing out.

My 2 cents... Who cares. Let them get whatever they want. It gets old arguing about what phone is better than the other, and whatnot. The only thing I dont understand is why people need to validate by posting that either a phone sucks and they are getting rid of it, or the fact they need to be talked into moving to something else.
Trade them even up for an iPhone 5 and be done with it.

I'm also wondering if I should go back to the iPhone 5. I like the apps on iOS and are missing some that are not on android. I also found a bunch of themes that I like for the jail broken IPhone 5. I'm trying to decide but afraid that I'll regret going back to the iPhone. Keep in mind that I already have a galaxy tab 2 7.0. So I feel like I have two tablets lol

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.

Nobody is crying here. Quite the opposite...I love my Note. I paid more for this phone than I did my TV. If your television had a bad screen when you bought it then it is ok because it isn't a movie theatre. Right? Other manufacturers don't have this issue and the leader of the cell market shouldn't either.
Does the S3 have this issue? If it doesn't then that means it is possible that the Note 2 might not. This is a media consumption device. The screen isnt this big just so you can make phone calls.
It also means the Note 2 might have a better processor which supposedly saves energy.
I would like to see the technology of the S3 incorporated into the next Note because I prefer the size of the Note.

I watched the LG CES 2013 trailer video thing on youtube, and general speculation is that the G2 will be announced with a 5.5" screen and bumped up specs from our precious G. What are your thoughts? Will it be a Note 2 competitor, or a G replacement? And how do you think it will affect our updates?

It's called competition. The Note phones have proven there is a market for phablets. I'm going to guess you're not studying economics or business.

Then I guess this will blow your mind: http://t.co/91c3vTNA
I believe with LG's newfound success regarding the G, a direct attack on the Note would be fantastic, as well as possibly a new tablet. The G2 would fulfill the phablet competition that currently hardly exists. The LG Intuition is too wide, but a form factor like our G with the larger screen would be fantastic. Add a pen display, as well as having quickmemo, and the Note has real competition. Considering LG Displays is suing over the Note 10.1 in Asia, this may indeed be their plans in a nutshell. As HTC slowly falls (sad but apparently true), it's time for Samsung to have a true competitor in the Android market. I would love to see Motorola to come out of the blue, but that seems doubtful to happen. LG has an opening, and I think they should take it. I've been a Samsung fan, and still somewhat am (the siii disappointed me), but I think nothing makes products better like competition. The iphone is competition of course, but there needs to be android competition, or devices will get progressively worse.

... I'm not talking about tablets. If I was talking about screens in general, I would be complaining about laptops, desktops, and tv's as well. But I'm not. It's a personal opinion, and a personal opinion of a few others, that a phone doesn't exactly need a huge screen. To each his own if they prefer that size. Apple has a ridiculously tiny screen, so I'm not really sure why they were even brought up lol. Considering I'm a girl, I have naturally smaller hands and have no desire to hold a phone that I need to doublefist. And even some men agree, it's too much.

Sorry, not trying to be nasty. Just trying to point out that just because you (and for that matter, I) have small hands doesn't mean that everyone does, or that there's only one size that the market wants (as Apple seems to believe). Everyone thought Sammy was crazy for putting the Note out there, but since it and its followup have been very successful, it's only natural that other OEMs want a piece of the action. I'd like the big screen (even if I did have to double fist it), but there's no way I'd be comfortable having that thing in my pocket, and I'll be damned if I'm wearing a holster for a phone.
I'll be honest, I can't reach the whole screen of the OG with one hand, but I don't care. I arrange my icons to be close to my thumb, and use two hands when I have to. :shrug:
Didn't mean to offend. :angel:

Except not, haha. I guess I'm in luck with the whole small hands + long fingers thing (my grandma has always told me I have piano fingers). My only fears of extending my fingers is that it slips out of my hand and falls on the ground. I have a case, but I still use at least one hand to balance it. Can't get too ballsy with this phone.

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.

Mostly based on area for that it's the other way around for me only seeing iPhones everywhere I go but see maybe 2 Android phones.

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.

I mean they don't sell as well as the galaxy s3 but we still sell around 10 per week. We sell more note 2's than htc DNAs or Motorola RAZR HDs.

Obviously sold well, I purchased one!
I do see the note and note II everywhere. Makes me happy.

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.

That's awesome. I'm glad so many people are seeing the light over Iphones. My gf wants a new phone she has the iPhone 4 I think I convinced her to get a S4

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.

I was at the vet the other day and this old man was there talking about how he was turning 85. Then he pulls out his iphone and starts showing me pictures. I pull my n2 out and he's like "is that the Galaxy note 2 or the S4?!?" He said he was so tired of how simple his iphone was and wanted to switch. Was so surprised someone his age new so much about phones. This guy was a true techie. Lol

He sounds like my grandfather... the man is a genius with windows, especially for being 72. Its funny how many people start looking out of the corner of their eyes when the note 2 comes out to play lol.
