Hi all. I have an opportunity with an upgrade on my line and I was wondering if I should just wait or grab this bad boy now.
That is up to you my friend if it were me I would be too impatient to wait for the note 3 but we both know that the note 3 is going to be extremely intense.. even though the note 2 is already pretty damn intense as it is.
I personally see myself keeping this phone for two years or more ((the technology in the note 2 will hold up)... Correct me if I'm wrong.)
So I think it boils down to if you can hold out for the note 3 or not. if you can wait, Hell I say wait. but I coildnt... Lol

I am a smart phone junky!! I in a 3 month period I've gone from iPhone 4S to galaxy s3 to iPhone 5 and now I want the Note 2 lol. I have zero patience when it comes to waiting for new devices to come out. I know the note 3 is going to be an absolute beast but I have to say the note 2 has me itching to buy it this weekend. How is your battery life? I should also mention I love carrying 2 smartphones. I just recently realized there are more people like me lol.

Get both. If your a phone junky like you say you are, youll figure out a way to get your hands on the note3 when it comes out. I know I will. I always say "this phone will last me 2 years" and this phone will for sure. But like you, im too impatient so ill probably get the note3 also.

I always say I'm going to keep a phone for 2 years and I can barely last 2 months. I'm going to get the note 2 and deal with getting the note 3 at that time. Now that Verizon is starting their 12 month financing program starting Sunday it will be much easier to get my devices now. I have an ipad, iPhone and android tablet all within arms reach right now.

I absolutely love my Note 2, but I don't think I could go any larger (as the Note 3 is rumored to be). Any bigger than the 5.5 inches that we have now and I tihnk it will be awkward to carry in the pockets of normal clothing.

I called today to verify and after waiting for the rep to do some research he came back and said that it is indeed happening. There are a couple of requirements though: 1 account has to be in good standing, 2 there can't be a balance on the account, 3 you have to specifically ask for this financing program. I was also told that you can even add a phone to a line that is not due for an upgrade because you will be financing the full retail amount of the phone so I don't believe you will lose your unlimited data.

Well that was terrible advice. I know the frequency at which android devices hit the market and I would hate to spend full retail for something that wasn't worth it. I was just curious is all. I know each device gets better with each release but sometimes that isn't the case. Not all android devices are privileged to getting future updates and by worth it I meant any major design flaws that would make waiting a better idea. I was expecting some to say "don't get it because ......." or buy it because .......... " I don't know much about the note 2 and was looking for input from the forums.

S3 already has 9,000,000 pre-orders! Maybe this is the real iphone killer after all. Wonder if the success of this device will carry over to the next version of the Note? I am happy for Samsung cause they make great devices. My old Samsung Epix just recently stopped working after 4 years. Hope my Note makes it 4 years. I bet the Note will get 10,000,000 pre-orders.

I just don't get why people are asking for a new Note already. This note isn't even 6 months old and people want a new one? The note probably won't ever outsell smaller phones because the market for this size phone is small. As for phones being an Iphone killer, I'm tired of that statement too.

Why do u want to shell out more money i think its stupid to have new version of a phone every 6-9 months. . .

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.

This matches up with leaked specs for HTC's new 5" phone.
Those benchmarks look great, but I think I'll wait until we get screenshots and more info (SD card? Removable battery?) before I think about jumping ship or not.

At least you have a choice. Being a teenager I can't afford to buy an off contract phone and still keep up with paying for the part of the plan I pay for.
I guess I need to start thinking about carrying a murse (man purse) around with all these huge screens coming out, or maybe a fanny pack, or a belt holster . Or maybe those huge rave pants will become trendy again...

I hope it does have removable memory and removable battery but won't bug me to much if it doesn't have a removable battery if it's a good size. I think all HTC devices on VZW have those things and maybe could be a requirement for HTC devices on VZW? Plus the Dinc 4G did and that's a variant of the one series.

or, you could buy a smaller screen phone. Just because a 5" phone comes out, doesn't mean you have to buy it.
I've been with the Rezound for over a year now and haven't asked much from you guys but to me every little bit of info you give me is a wealth of knowledge. So wanted to say thank you and its been great, but its time to move up to different and better thing's (DNA). But buying the phone outright so I will have my Rezound still and will use it as a WiFi only device. Won't be upgrading due to lost unlimited data, so I opted to buy the DNA out of pocket. So till next time, Thank You All, Love You All..

I know it's always the next big thing and next and so on but when the phone the DNA should have been is coming out in March why not wait especially when paying cash for the full amount. 16gb upgraded to 32gb, bigger battery, better processor, to each his own I am holding out for this X phone from Google/Motorola if selling phones from the play store is going to be a yearly thing I will be doing that each year to keep my unlimited data. If Verizon tries to come up with some kinda [email protected] block and say if u buy from google we will take your data away if you don't pay the extra $15 a month I am taking my 4 lines and leaving. But if he likes the DNA its up to him I was just saying why not wait for the M7 he never wrote back so he is long gone.

I'm coming up on upgrades on my kids' lines next month so I'm curious to see what is coming down the pipe. right now, I'm leaning towards the note 2, but if this M7 comes along, it could be a great phone.
M7 and the M4 are rumored to support LTE "where available." meaning, verizon most likely is going to have it, and HOPEFULLY it's not going to be in the Droid line.
i'm excited for it. i think i'd rather have the 4.7 inch size than the giant 5.0 inch the DNA was. i loved the DNA, but i think the M7 is gonna be great. i'll probably end up buying one off contract lol

stupid.
This is a thread for people to post when they receive their Note III. I have one Preordered on Verizon but just put this thread here for people to subscribe (did not get mine yet) - when others post when they have gotten their Note III maybe that will help pin down when they start shipping.
I've never preordered, I've always got it release day. Hoping I get it a day or two early. Thought the other thread got a bit off topic and a little harsh.
I played with the AT&T one in store and I hope we get root and can bypass Knox counter.
I really was pleased with what I saw, but I don't know if I can have a phone I can't root or mod... been doing that since the old Windows mobile days, then with android since the HTC incredible, nexus and n2.
Well... here's to waiting, cheers...

I'm in... we will wait together
I keep getting grief about sticking with Verizon and my Note 3 preorder... I could get it sooner elsewhere... I could get unlimited data elswhere... but I have a sneeky reason for what I do
I live right behind a verizon store... and verizon has a thing about having a solid cell tower for the store... it sells phones
So sitting in my back yard... I have this... all day and all night

So I sit and wait... I don't care if it's the 10th... or the 7th... or the 12th of october... this month is freekin Christmas in Florida and it will be epic.
Sitting here, tapping my fingers furiously waiting, waiting, waiting. Hoping it does ship early. Thinking of sending my GG watch back when I get my bundle though, but can't wait for the GN3
Just pre-ordered mine through Verizon today. Decided on the black one without the Gear watch. The employee said that they might get them a few days early like they did with the two previous models. I don't know how good his word is, but at least it's something to hope for. When the phone finally drops there's going to be a lot of happy users on these threads.

My Verizon preorder is being billed to my Verizon account. Just got an email notification about the bill now available online. Checked - the charge for the phone is not on the statement...

Your bill cycle ends a few days before your bill is available to view. It should be on your next bill. Check your cycle dates.

Thats impressive ping on that test, you say thats a verizon tower? All the towers in my area the pings are over 100ms, usually between 110-130. Theres a tower in my backyard as well and i get the same speeds but the pings are bad to me. I done a speed test recently on one tower and got 56mbps down and the ping was 116. The at&t network in my area has pings half that of verizon, their network feels faster to me because of that. ( I had to remove the image from the quote, forum rule, I dont have 10 posts yet.)

I wonder how much out of packet when try to trade the current note 3 for that?..........
I wouldnt believe a rep from any carrier store as far as I could throw the store....
Only reason I would believe it would be because they did came out with a S4 triband version so never know they might come out with a note 3 triband version.

That's true also but let's see as for me I've grown into having a big screen and well I'm loving the s - pen and mind you I'm still on the note 2 lol but I don't think I'll ever jump back to the regular S line it's either gonna be a note 4 or something like that lg g flex but with a better screen resolution I've read and seen good reviews on it besides the screen resolution which is the only deal breaker.

When one considers that..
-->This s a niche device in a market that Sammy owns,
-->Silicon Valley's reaction to Spark is the same as the customer-base, tempered by believe-it-when-we-see-it,
-->The Big 2 are unafraid of this,
-->It takes years and billions to launch technological infrastructure and deliver it to the masses,
-->Cost-cutting continues with a vengeance, creating a user experience that looks nothing as it did a mere 12 months ago,
-->The balance sheet remains debt-laden,
-->Towers once owned are still leased back,
-->Customer churn rates continue at similar levels Q2Q,
-->Stuffing more Spark-capable phones in the pipeline when the vast majority can't use them makes little sense, unless you think it'll onboard more customers quickly,
What's the endgame? I find it quite confusing, as I can't figure out the differentiator in the marketplace. It used to be price, and a tolerable-to-decent user experience. No mas.
I get that owning bands unavailable to others is an asset, but if they can't be swiftly deployed, we are left with nothing but sizzle, or Spark.
I'd rather have a company that offered decent technology, a clearly definable lower price-point and superior customer service any day.
Instead, we're paying for sizzle for the few that have Spark.
So wait a minute, is tri band supported for the current note 3 or are they going to release a whole new note 3?

A new model of the Sprint Note 3 would like be required for triband.

More info on the Tri Band Note 3 !
To clarify the manager of the store told me this after I inquired to the rep that was helping me on the floor and started asking questions about Sprint Spark and which phones they had available that worked on the Spark Network. Also I am in Houston Texas which is a Spark Market that just recently became active. They told me they had begun pushing firmware updates out to the phones that were capable now and that the LG G2 was one of the first ones and the HTC One Max. They said they were rolling out the updates in waves of an undisclosed number of customers at a time. I guess maybe they are just doing it in areas that they activate Spark in but I am not sure about that. One thing that I do know for sure is that I will be getting a Spark capable Note 3 if and when I see one ! They were however definitively confident of there statement on this matter so I really think it will happen in the very near future. Why would Samsung update the S4 and not the Note 3 that would not make any sense. Especially since they will be selling these two phones even after the new ones come out just like they do now for a cheaper price than the latest and greatest. They also said they would be phasing out the single band LTE version.

Oh my little gullible padawan .... You will learn with time we don't believe anything sprint says until it happens ...I was supposed to have 4G a month after I got my HTC evo 4G wimax and same with epic then the evo3d ,epic touch then the galaxy s3 , galaxy nexus , note 2 , now note 3 and I have finally got some 4G .... believe me when we are a little hesitant to believe any thing that sprint says ... We have been down that road before

I'm perfectly happy with my current Note 3 LTE. Even if the Sparks Note 3 came out next month, can you imagine how long it will be before your area even has that capability in the tower? You would see complaint after complaint of "when is Sparks coming to my area"? "I have the Spark Note 3 & the rep that sold it to me told me that "it's coming soon" so I got talked into buying it....yada-yada-yada...
I'm less than 6 blocks from an LTE tower, but 2 blocks away from a 3G tower, so coverage here is outstanding...data & voice.
Give it a few years...two things will happen. 1. A newer technology will come out making Sparks a "thing of the past, now dying"
2. It'll take about that long for completion of Sparks technology, so you'll lose interest in it by then.
Unless you live or work in a MAJOR city, there's slim to none chance of making it work for you.
/By the way, what do you even NEED 40 or 50 Mb downstream for? Streaming high-def only requires about 6 Mbps & good LTE easily delivers that!
/My rant is over. NEXT!!
Even though I haven't read every page of the NA leak post, I've read quite a few posts that say it is enabling spark. I think that many people aren't in an activated area so they can't test it. I might be wrong but I'm thinking that the current n3 can do spark. I will just have to wait and see when an official kit Kat tar comes out. I'm pretty sure spark is active in my general area/market.
