Sounds like a good deal if you ask me. The ones on Swappa.com are going for ~$400 right now

If its s-off and boot loader unlocked , then surely go 4 it.
If not then be happy with stock ROM.
I also came from GNex, its a big jump in specs from it. Iam lovin it.

If your DNA in on 2.x you can't boot loader unlock it , can be done through a hardware hack , Google for dna JTAG

350 is about the going market rate at the moment. As someone else said, make your buddy give you the friend discount to 325 and jtag for 45. Big jump from your Nexus.

In my opinion its worth it if you send it off and get it JTAG'd before anything else.

Not much of an upgrade. I'd wait until the new series of phones come out (HTC One-X, SGSIII).

This... Hold out for a little longer and you'll feel like you really upgraded instead of just changed phones.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I'm thinking of this too. If the size isn't an issue for you then I'd say go for it. Better screen res, bigger, bit faster, it's god damn sexy. If I had the cash I'd do it today, but I have to wait a bit.
better wait for SIII
change to galaxy note now? from an sgs2
sgs3 will come in march. htc one x is there
there is no reason at all to step back to an old phone
I would definetely wait for the SIII! The SII isn't an old phone so i would just wait a few months until the SIII becomes cheaper. But if you really love the GNote, then just go for it
I made that upgrade and I just love my Note, screen size is just perfect for me. Im not waiting for SGSIII I'm gonna hold to this Note and upgrade it when Note II/or Note S is out
Played with Note few days and first impression is that it is slower than SGS2 but with better screen..........it is too big for my taste and everyday use so i will stick with SGS2...........
Note too big for me.
will keep using gs2 until gs4 or 5, until gs2 get old. get slower when android os upgrade to 4 5 6.......

Don't do it! Reconsider! Read some litera...ture...on the subject!
Sorry, from a song, but still. Not worth it, especially if you're planning on getting the white Note again?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Got a HTC One X coming from my Galaxy S2 the day they came out for AT&T. Took it back a week later and picked up the Note because I just wasn't quite satisfied with the HTC ... never looked back - much much happier with the Note over the One X.
(I know they are not the same phone, but most would agree the One X is better than the One S)

From what I heard at best buy today from some lady that was some Verizon district something, you can move your upgrade to another line and upgrade that line. Then at home go to my Verizon and swap the numbers around. I'm pretty torn. I want to jump all over the note 3, but idk. I played with it for like 20 minutes and its pretty awesome.

Considering a Nexus 5 and a jump to T-Mobile. Still have until May on my contract though, so I'll be waiting to see what's up by then.

[Q] Should I keep S4?

I have a stock rooted S4 I got as a replacement from asurion, for a S3, it's on ME7, I have not activated it. Just thoughts from the community, I am a long time aosp user, anti touch jizz since fascinate days. Should I keep the s4 and bear with it on rooted stock or send it back and get another S3?

Put nova launcher lol.
It's much better device however I will patiently wait for few months then hopefully bootloader will be unlocked.
you can try to exchange it (or sell it and buy) for a mdk s4

Why wouldn't they? People buy the one. It's just an htc one with a note 3ish size screen and larger battery + sd card slot finally. I just want reliable and fast 4g again, something I can't have with my s4.
Edit: just read some reviews on the one max. Disappointing. Now I really don't know what I'm going to do for a phone. Maybe back to my rez.

mint condition. Never dropped. No scratches. Kind of undecided what to do with it now. The only thing keeping me on the s4 is 5in screen and battery life. Was definitely getting rid of it before I read the one max review, now I'm not sure what to do

Yeah, first you gotta figure out if you selling or keeping.
I honestly don't see any reason for any other phone at the moment. If I can get it unlocked I'm straight for a year or more.

Yeah I know. Your best bet may be a dev edition. I really don't think an unlocked bootloader is coming unless samsung leaves a door open for someone to get into in a future update.

Yeah I don't know that One design just doesn't scale well. I mean look at a One compared to a Moto X, it's a joke. They have the same screen size but the Moto X is almost the same size as an iPhone while the One is bigger than our phone. So the BoomSound speakers plus the 5.9" screen means it massive. It only has a Snapdragon 600 after all these devices are coming out with the 800. It loses OIS, which ruins the whole point of their "UltraPixels" with the larger light aperture, in favor of a fingerprint reader which so far hasn't been reviewed very well. Apple integrated the reader into the experience of the iPhone by putting it right on the home button, the One Max makes the same mistake as the Motorola Atrix. Furthermore, it doesn't even retain the best part of the One design, the unibody aluminum shell. It features a plastic ring around the phone like our S4 as well as an apparently spotty removable back that doesn't even feature a removable battery. Very disappointed in the One Max.

Is it worth it?

I have been using an s3 for 6 months now and I found someone on Craigslist that will trade me my S3 for his Note 2. I will be throwing him an extra 50 bucks. Is it worth the trade or no? Thank you for any help.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
i would trade in a heart beat, once you get use to the size you will never go back to a smaller screen.
If it were me, I'd check to make sure the boot loader was unlocked, then I'd say its worth it. That's my personal preference.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk
You can unlock the bootloader yourself.
I just came to the note2 from an s3 and love it. I don't know if I'd give an extra 50 $ though. Negotiate that down to 25 if you really want it. It was a worthy upgrade as far as I'm concerned.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk
Is it hard to unlock boot loader? I did it on my Rezound but my S3 came unlocked. I know the Note2 is not messed with at all just stock.

It's very easy to unlock.. as long as you can read and follow instructions carefully. The most important thing I'd say would be to make sure the phone is 100% functional.
Do it! Just Make sure It has a clean esn

I have IMHO moderate skills with android, I did S-Off on my ReZound and it was painful ( hotwiring the logic board). I was just making sure that there was no big exuberant process. I am excited for tomorrow. Thanks again guys I am looking forward to joining the Note 2 XDA community.

While the specs are very close, the additional gigabyte of RAM makes this phone amazingly smooth (even on the stock ROM). Assuming you like the super-sized screen, I'd say you'll be very pleased with the Note II as an upgrade from the S III.
Do it, worth every penny!
Night and day difference between the note 2 and s3. Take the leap it's such a solid phone. Best android I have owned yet and I have had 15+ phones in the last 2 yrs. That and phenomenal battery life.

The s3 has 2gb of ram as well. The CPU on the note 2 is the difference. It has a quad core as opposed to the s3's dual core.
Sent from my KitKat note 2
Apparently there were some variations depending on carrier/nation. It could have a quad core or a dual core, 1 gigabyte or 2 gigabytes of RAM.
In any case, I find the Note II to be very worthwhile. I recommend taking the plunge if you're looking for a large screened, well-built phone.
