I'm asking for your opinion on the device with Stock Android Experience.
Not asking if I should buy it or not.
They would have to use lower spec parts to fit with the Nexus Line prices.
Edit: Nvm its offering at $650. WOW!

I agree. It would be really nice to finally see these great phones running aosp without the need for a custom rom.
Hopefully, this one is going to come to Canada eventually...
Frankly I think it is good that they are doing this but I would rather have a nexus 5.
I'm hoping for nexus 4 prices with
2.3GHz processor
2+GB RAM
5.3 inch FHD Screen
32GB storage
Metal build
Key lime pie
Multi window
Then and only then will i replace my nexus 4. Dont really care about fhd though and the s4 is no faster than my OCed nexus 4
It will be incredible if google goes with the Exynos 5 Octa
Will this come with other features from the original s4?? Not the touch wiz but other stuff

I like the idea, but not the price (and based on the audience reaction...neither did they). I mean you can get an unlocked HTC One for around $560ish. From there, one could root/ROM it and be good to go. Now if the price drops to say $500 or less, I'd be willing to shell out the cash. Which I hope the price point will change. This is a great start to offering a bloat free device, without having to root/ROM it. This would be great if other manufacturers followed suit.
Good move nonetheless!
A true Nexus Samsung phone would be the only way I'd buy another Samsung phone. Getting rid of Touchwiz is easy, but I just can't deal with the lagging of releasing updates.
Boo... too expensive, too mainstream, to dang normal. Optimus g pro version would be nice that's bad ass or version of Sony z... both would be better all around and could be at $500 Google price. I was so disappointed! I just returned my nexus 4 thinking they were going to release something better. I'll stick with my note!!

I asked this in the galaxy nexus forum also...just trying to weigh my options..
Id say no but depends your needs. Ics wont change your life. Nice but not enough reason to lose sd expansion and a gorgeous screen. Ics is coming to note soon enough. Faster if you use a custom rom.

Coming from a Galaxy Nexus I say pass. I loved the Gnexus but the Note walks circles around it. I do however miss the on screen buttons and vanilla ICS but having stock ICS will come when we get the official release.

The three biggest advantages of nexus are
1. Software availability - they have full support of Google.
2. For me Google wallet is a big plus - that alone makes me consider a trade sometimes.
3. True penta band - if you are on T-mobile then this is a great thing too.
Hopefully over time all of the above will be available on Note (perhaps some alternative carrier backed payment system rather than the wallet and the modem from t-mobile Note) - but do you want to wait?
I love the note and don't want any of my friends to see this post but want to be objective here.
On the flip side, I've seen many Nexus users complain about lack of sd card, and the curved screen means you cannot get that cool glass on glass screen protector. Also no LTE for AT&T if you care about it. Tough call, sure
With alpha 2 ics ROM PLUS the tablet mod dagr8 just put out I would never consider it. I love the combination more then words could say

Because once Samsung officially releases ICS, they will be forced to release source code which means we will start seeing REAL ICS development for the Note like Cyanogen or other AOSP projects.
Im personally still completely stock and unrooted because every rom out there for the Note is basically just a themed rom with a few tweaks. I want freedom.
Now, once a complete AOSP version of Android is available, the Note will look just like the Nexus except it will get better support than what Google offers (my brother living next door to me has a Verizon Nexus and is still on 4.02), receiving updates probably at least once a week if not even possibly nightly.
Oh, and my understanding is that Google wallet is still not working on the Verizon Nexus. As far as Google wallet working on the Note, Im not sure if this is a carrier related thing or software related. I know the Note can do NFC, maybe Google prevents it based on what kind of device you have (similar to the Chrome beta).
Just get both.

im thinking about get the galaxy nexus also...$399....tempting..
Only thing that's hard for me to say do it is the camera, this 8MP is gorgeous. I don't know why Samsung put a 5 MP camera in the nexus when they have already had a great 8 out. This by no means it's a replacement to a dslr, but when I do use it, I'd like it to look good, already better than my old Evo's 8+5. I saw it for sale direct from Google for 400 and pumped the brakes when I saw that. They carefully word around it like 1080 and HD, but I don't want high definition blocks. Even this camera to an extent doesn't look GREAT on a 55".

If note 2 is released you can also ask: Note 2 or wait for Galaxy Nexus 2,

Have to agree. There will always be something new coming out. Get the GSIII. Its an awesome device. You can always sell it if you really want the Note2 when it comes out.

There will always be something a bit better around the corner.
I'd recommend the GS3. Not only is the hardware very good, but because so many people have bought them, there should be plenty of pressure to support the device well, remove any minor residual bugs etc. Enjoy it now.
like people said..it depends on what you prefer. The S3 4.8 screen is perfect for me..fits just nice in my pocket any bigger it wouldnt be that comfortable to carry around when I dont have my bag with me.
I will be certainly getting the Note 2 no matter what<<
The key is you have to know what you like. Would the phone fit your life style. If we all said yes and you bought it because of our vote. You will blame us if you didn't like it afterwards.
If you like to switch phones around, You can always sell and trade.

That's what I said about Samsung and seeing their iteration of the Nexus (all plastic). Pretty much came to terms with ****ty build quality now (I've been skipping out on all Nexus' since the N1, so can't really wait any longer heh)... I'll give LG a chance.

The hardware in LG phones is second to no one.. However their software if behind the rest of the pack.

Just saw this on MobileSyrup, looks like there may be another Samsung Nexus phone in the works called the Nexus 3. According to some pics that were uploaded on Picasa using the Nexus 3 by Samsung. Interesting, but 3.2MP camera? Probably not a finished device yet.

Now that T-Mobile already shows up their new line-up for this holiday season, which phone will you get if you're eligible to upgrade?
I was initially torn between Note 2 and Nexus 4... Now I'm heading much more toward Nexus 4. lol... Note 2 starts at 370 while Nexus 4 starts at 200 Especially after watching this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66-4uMQqerA&feature=plcp
I am going to vote for Nexus 4 for myself
What's your next phone after the Amaze? Trying windows phone maybe?
Gonna have to stay with my Amaze for just a little longer and then sell it by Christmas. Hopefully a 32GB Nexus 4 gets released by then. If not, I'll go with the 16GB. The Note 2 is a beast of its own but it's too big and too expensive and I'm bored of the GS3. As for Windows Phone 8, meh.
I'm done with HTC and their BS unless they come out with a Nexus phone of their own.

Lol... That's pretty close to summing up my thought. :highfive: Note 2 seems too big and expensive especially considering I got a Nexus 7. The only downside for me are the microSD and battery I couldn't careless about LTE since T-Mobile doesnt even have it (and LTE just sucks up battery)
I would also wait a few weeks or a month just to make sure I am aware of the problems especially for the first batch
Am I the only one that is gonna stay with my Amaze? lol. I sold my S3 because my Amaze was so much better.

Trying to get some opinions here. I have a ATT unlocked Note i717 and a guy wants to trade his brand new Nexus 4. I know to some this may be a no brainier but from what I've seen it's not all that. And it's made by LG. I was thinking it'd be a advantage to get and trade for something else but it's not that popular in my area it seems. And granted you can get it for $300 for the 8GB and $350 for the 16gb (which he has).
I love my note and don't have any issues with it really. What do you guys think?
I would do it, especially if it is a straight-up trade.
Yes, it is LG, but Nexus 4 and Optimus G (and pro) are very well-made phones.
Nexus 4 will get updates right away, and has better specs. In the long-run, it is a better phone to keep. As much as I love my Note, I would trade it for a Nexus 4 in a heartbeat.

Well didn't keep the guy waiting and did the trade. It's almost as if I walked in the store and bought it myself, that's how new it is. I'll give it some time to see if i'll grow on it but so far it was definitely a good trade. No cash involved just a straight trade. The guy was happy with it.

yet the nexus 4 was just labelled as #1 most likely to break... atleast 2-3 times a week i see people posting their broken glass nexus phones, happens way to often.
any phone made of glass front and back is not worth it unless your getting some hefty ass case for it. no clue why lg didnt learn from apples mistake with ip4/4s glass backs always broke, same happens here on nexus 4's/lg g's
and yes it will get STOCK ota update faster, but most people run aftermarket roms which get updated just as fast, so i have no clue why people try and use "gets updates first" as a selling point to people, esp on xda
but to op, id go into a carrier that has a lg optimus g and see how you like it before trading just to be sure your ok with smaller screen, i got an s3 recently and gave it to my sister 2 days later, the screen size was to much of a deal breaker.
I bought a nexus 4 a few months ago and was able to get $360 for my note on eBay.
Took a few days to adjust to a smaller screen size but I got used to it.
No LTE kinda sucks but I've been getting over 10MB down on HSPA+ so I can't complain there
Battery life has been somewhat disappointing but the N4 charges very fast and I never find myself going that long without access to a charger
Other than those gripes the phone is really, really good. I wouldn't hesitate taking the N4 over the Note and I loved my Note.

Getting an s3 was the best decision I ever made. So much smoother and better imo.
That being said I would take a note 2 in a heart beat.
Flop? The note is probably not going to see official jb and ics is laggy.
The sales of the nexus 4 are insane, the gpu/cpu destroys the notes.
I would make the trade just for the specs the of note is great especially with a custom ROM but eventually it will be outdated you will get more life with the nexus 4.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Well I took the trade and haven't looked back. This is a way ahead of the Note in terms of specs. The screen size was not a issue at all. Don't take this as dogging the note cause I'd pick one up any day, but as far as the market is concerned this would be in the top picks.
For all the comments about the build and it breaking, well to each their own. I've had zero issues with mine. Some people don't really use caution when handling already cheaply made devices. And it goes for any phone that it's possible to come with defects from the factory.
As far as LTE, the Nexus 4 is capable of. With the .33 radio and a custom rom it's no stranger. T-Mobile has only launched LTE in a few cities but it'll soon get around.

I just sold my note today. Waiting for my nexus 4 to ship. Hopefully it doesn't take long. The reason I choose the n4 over the note is that development over at the n4 forum is pretty busy.
