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.

Welcome aboard. This phone is a mini computer that does everything I want.
Screen is such a good size. I couldn't adjust to it for the first week or two, I thought the screen was too big.
Welcome aboard. My wife had the iphone crap 4. And I traded that thing in asap. Bought her a Samsung s3. Which I do run note 2. Iphone is over priced and crap. The hole time she had that phone. She had nothing but problems.

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.
I guess you ALL once an idiot?? LOL, I'm head of my household and my last name is "GALAXY", my wife and 2 daughters are named Galaxy S3, my son named Galaxy Note2 and myself...well still Samsung Droid Charge! hey at least I still with Samsung generation...at least!

Since my experience with my infuse was so horrible and I mean horrible (replaced 5 times) they are allowing me to upgrade my second line early so I figured I'd spend it on the Gnote, my primary line is up next January so I figured the note will hold me over for 11 months. How good is it? I've played with one briefly the other day and really liked it.

Its great so far , get it. You have 30 days to play with it just in case.
I'd like to think the abundance of positive threads in this forum attest to what a wonderful device it really is. I am absolutely in love with this phone, and haven't felt this way since the first time I played with an iPhone back in 2009.

You won't be sorry! I came from an iPhone 4S and I'm not sure the camera is quite as good but its still excellent. And the rest of the phone is far better! I'm in love with the screen and I'm just beginning to get the hang of editing pictures with the S-Pen. It's an awesome phone! I ordered two extra batteries and a wall charger from Amazon to go with it so that I'm never stuck to a wall.
I came from an lg nitro HD and this phone is awesome.I smile every time I pull it out of my pocket. And something really cool that I just noticed is that Swype rocks with the s-pen.

Got real bored with apple not doing anything new and getting boring and also no jailbreak so I switched to Note II after dumping my iphone 5! could not have been happier, love the phone and now everyone in IT wants one, after rooting my phone and new rom from Scott, this phone rock's.

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.

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.
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.

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.

Any indications? I have only seen a few people out and about with the N2, much more s3s. Verizon is so picky about picking up phones, I don't want any problems with them getting the Note 3. Now only if they weren't the last one to get it like the Note 2.....

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.

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.

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.

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.

My friend just recently switched from the 4s. He has been am iPhone fanboy, even though he claims he wasn't a fanboy, ever since he got his first iPod and iPhone. He just got sick and tired of Apples little walled in garden with the iPhone even when jailbroken. He saw my Note 2, played with it for a couple weeks and then made the switch. He is absolutely in love with hos Note 2 and says there is no way in hell he will EVER go back to an iPhone!
The only thing he dislikes is there is no way to sync his iTunes music, playlists, pictures, and videos. He was using Kies but since he flashed Vanilla Rootbox, which he has been on since the 3rd day he had his phone, he cant find any app for syncing his music tjat works with a USB cord.

There are certainly more (and a lot of times better) accessories for an iDevice; play music thru the media cable, earphone/headphone buttons auto detect the device, more choices when it comes to cases etc
