There is something wrong with me.
I returned my galaxy note due to the fact that it wasn't as snappy as an S2 and i missed the huge selection of roms... and while I'm happy with the S2 overall (again).. i have found that nearly a month of using the note has shifted my priorities.
I now find myself missing the big screen size more than I thought I would.
Here's my dilemma.
I kind of want the note back. But I've done 2 reverse upgrades already (i'm indecisive as ****)
I got this S2 from walmart because the ATT store here didn't have the original S2 (lte market)
Will walmart let me do a reverse upgrade do you think?
and then would ATT still let me upgrade again?
Would you go back to the note if you were me?
I'm stupid. Feel free to make fun of me.
Call walmart and ask. Then call ATT. There is nothing we can do here.

Was really hoping for some opinions.
We all had the lag when it came out, but I'm oh SAUROM, overclocked etc and the Note is SUPER smooth! Not kidding, we're talking butter here...
Literally, ZERO LAG!
There are some seriously slick themes being made, too. Couldn't be happier!
No idea if you will be able to finagle any more upgrades, but if not, you can borrow my S pen to stab yourself in the heart!

I have a rusty butter knife. I'm not worthy of the s-pen stab.
Could have told you that lol. Anyone who was considering going back to a S2 after having a Note is Crazy!
Is there a tiny tiny bit of lag once and a while, sure but nothing I'd give the phone up for. I'm on the stock ROM btw. People get to crazy with the "lag" theory. Mines fast as hell, I just clear the RAM once and a while no probs.

Yeah, I'm realizing now that I would trade this smaller screen and zero lag for the bigger beautiful display and slight lag every once in a while.
The rom thing isn't as big to me as I thought it was.
I really hope I can reverse again.

you can.
i'd say get it from best buy if you have one near you. i'm biased (i work there selling phones) but i think it has great value.
typically you get someone who is more knowledgable (it varies, not everyone is a phone nerd)
you have the option to get a really good protection plan (no deductible, unlimited claims, water damage coverage, loaner phone, etc.)
and the option to get the buy back which will give you guaranteed $$ back when you trade in your phone w/in 2 years based on retail (its $60 normally, but if you have the protection plan for at least 1mo you get it half off, for $30. minimum you would get back is around your upgrade @ 20% of the RETAIL value which is $799.99)

Yeah, I did confirm through customer support that I can do it. I made sure they notated it on my account too.
I can't freaking wait. I want that big screen again. I'm gonna rub my genitals all over it.

But then again honestly is there a girl that owns the note? I haven't met one (actually I've met no one with a note) but all the girls that see it are like wow that's too big... And im like don't worry. Im not just compensating, although my note would definitely entertain you longer.

Yeah, my girl owns the note. Since hers is the name on the account, she got the upgrade/re-up price. I was 3,000 miles away when she got em, so she's had hers a week more than I've had mine.
I admit I turned her onto the Note... I just couldn't stop blabbering about it compared to our Streaks. But she found the Streak not too long after it showed up at Best Buy, and after I went and abused one in the store, I gave the OK to go with the 5-inch candybar. We've had matching phones now for just over 2 years and she'll never be able to go to a smaller phone again.
It's a hoot at dinner parties when one of us takes out the phone (as it has been for a while) and someone, inevitably, comments; "My god, what is that? Is that a phone or a tablet?" Whichever of us had taken it out replies; "Yes, its both (Streak and Note... same difference for most people)" Then the person comes back with, "Wow, I've never seen anything like that before. That's almost too big, how can you use that? I doubt anyone could carry something that big. How do you carry it, does it even fit in your pocket?...." Then the other one of us will take out the other one. All conversation at the table stops. The inevitable iPhone comparison ensues.... 4 iPhones = (not really, but in screen real estate, close enough) 2 Notes. Pictures taken (if there are any phones left after the comparison laying of small useless phones on the big ones), jokes made... on both sides.... lol. "Wow that's so big" Me: "that's what she said" Her: "Why do you think I keep him around?" Them: "Are you compensating for something?" Me "What, both of us?" Them: "I'm not sure I could use something that size" Her: "Oh, I thought so too at first, but after a week or so I was used to it, and I could never have something smaller." Yeah, they are great icebreakers too... at anything from dinner parties to business meetings.

LoL @ over2land's story.
It is a conversation starter though - I've pulled it out standing in the back of an elevator with three people, and the guy standing in front actually came and stood next to me. Three guys shoulder to shoulder on the back wall of the elevator was pretty awkward.
The only other time I've ever had anyone stop me to ask about my phone was when I had the first generation iPhone [when it was still around $400 and not ubiquitous].
In the past three weeks of having the Note, I've been asked about it more times than ever with the iPhone.
This is why some people shouldn't have choices. Apple makes it easy for you... one new phone a year. No choices, no second guessing. And I can see why some people are happier with Apple for this very reason. But if you are going to be an Android user, you need to grow up a bit, make an informed decision, and be happy with it.
Then come to XDA and push that device as far as it can possibly go
My gf has the white note and never looking back. Her best friend bought one after playing with hers, she dumped her 4S and loves the screen size as well.

So I got my Galaxy Note today, and as soon as I got home, I put it under my electron microscope, and to my dismay, I noticed nano scratches! I wanted to reach out to everyone to see if they noticed this flaw on their phones. I was considering using hydrochloric acid and a high speed belt sander to remove them. The only problem is, they are so small, they can't be seen with the nakid eye, and I dont know what to do. I paid $300 for this phone, and I find this flaw to be totally unacceptable. My phone should be absolutely, 100% perfect! I contacted Samsung about this issue, and they told me to suck it.
I guess it's off to AT&T, where I will open and inspect every single Note, until I find the perfect one. If they won't exchange it for me, I will lie and commit fraud to get my way!

Well played.
I'll take your messed up Note off your hands for $20. You pay shipping, though.
Kinda' funny.
You know, people can hate on iSheep all they want, but the fact is most of Apple's phones are PERFECT and uniform. Why do I mention this? Simple, the bar has been raised significantly for aesthetics and performance. Small amounts of burn-in, tiny amounts of black crush, overzealous memory use, uneven component quality -- with rare exception, iPhones don't suffer from any of this. While Samsung clearly has the better phone overall, bits and pieces still lag far behind.
P.S. I love my Note.

Flawed Logik
To add to what the OP was saying, at least how it appears to me; I bought my phone the day it came out, I just couldn't wait until October until my contract would have let me upgraded. Went down to the At&t store, bought it. They had NO accessories for it, cases, screen protectors, nothing. Anyway back at the house I played with the Note for about 4 hours solid that night, running quadrant, downloading different apps, games; Anything I could think of I did, I gave my phone "electrical" hell that night.
Next day I went on eBay found a case for $9, screen protector for $5, got a mhl adapter and 2 generic spare batteries and a host cable. Later that evening the 1st un-official rom was released for the Note. I didn't have a second thought, downloaded Odin and flashed away, in fact been doing that ever since.
Then I started reading post on here: Hair line cracks on Note, black banding issues, sound woes, etc...
I guess I am wired different than everyone else; If I buy something, and it looks ok, functions ok and was what I wanted to begin with i'm happy. I am not a person that will nitpick something to death like someone with OCD on crack, it's just not me.
If a stranger is watching me use my phone and wants to check it out, I don't mind handing it over for them to try out. I take care of what I have but I don't baby it either, it gets used.
[ Just checked my flash counter and i'm up to 38 Odin flashes plus how ever many I have done with cwm. I wonder if i can get up to 100 ]

Really? Are you suuuure about that? I recall the iPhone 4 requiring a $35 bumper case to get decent reception. Not to mention the yellow tinting on the displays. Then there was the fracturing near the power button on the white 3gs.

This reminds me of your "Design flaw of Galaxy Note" and "Screen off center" threads...except this one is meant to be a joke.
El Diablo just officially turned on LTE for my part of Ohio. (I've had it on my 900 since day one, with fantastic speeds.) SGS3 feels like a disappointment, it feels like a beefier Nexus. I have one of those bolted to my HDTV.
This guy just really intrigues me. I'm afraid of a refresh though. I hate GB and those damn buttons on the bottom. But. I'm bored. Thoughts?
Get a note?
Should you get a Note? I don't have LTE where I live and more than likely won't until 2090. But there are sooooo many other things I love about my phone.

If you're afraid of a refresh, you'll never buy anything, because the next best thing is always just around the corner. Forget what might be coming (especially if they haven't announced anything about it) and get what you think is going to work for you.
I personally like the buttons, but I can see how some wouldn't. Anyway, they are easy to live with.
Finally ... GB. Haven't run GB in weeks. There's a couple very stable ICS roms out there for the flashing. I wouldn't even bother going back to GB at this point.
Go to the store and try the demo. If you like it, walk out with one. If not, get the one x.

yeah, I thought that was pretty silly too..
I honestly wouldn't, I feel like this phone is way too big and not very practical. There are great ROMs out there and the phone does have some bright points but I would much rather have a Nexus or something similar.
I should say I work out a lot and the Note has not been good for me in those regards, it's just too big to be comfortable. Also I have a lot of signal issues with this phone that have made me less than happy with it.
Just my experience though...
Stock modem is best for signal. If not, yours your service provider.

I "need" food and water to survive, not for you tell me what to do. The point of this thread is to happily listen to the various opinions posted, post my thanks for those posters for sharing valuable time, and decide, in time, what my next purchase is.
And the more I think on your post the more it infuriates the crap out of me. I'm extraordinarily curious as to what makes one "worthy" of a Note? Who appointed you the bestower of "worthiness" to the members of these forums. We were having such a nice discussion before you...

Wow, I want some of whatever you are having.
Sure the "need" thing is arguably off-putting. But "worthy"? Did I miss an edit on the post that sent you off?
Eh, bottom line is what are your priorities? Don't think I saw what you were looking for in the original post. For me, I'd still have something with a real qwerty keyboard. I can't type with an iPhone to this date as it is just too small. When the Streak showed up, it was the first device with no physical keyboard I ever could deal with. The Note is the next step. As a bonus, it is the first Android device I ever saw or used that rivaled the ease of use of an iPhone (keyboard notwithstanding). Also the first device I had that weaned many of my iSheep friends away from the dark side. So far, all the converts are happy too. From lauding screen size, to app store choices, to not being annoyed about the speed of the device, they have all been happy.
So, what are you looking for?
As others have alluded to, posting something like this on the Note forum will yield predictably positive responses. Honestly, in this forum its approached i-Fan-like levels of blind following and I was surprised to see someone suggesting you not get it.
Am I happy with mine? Oh, hell yeah. Would I go to anything else? Um, nope. Unless the Note 2 ever shows up, and does something so much better than this thing. I'm currently looking to get a backup one, just in case. Even with as hard as Samsung is pushing this thing, the size isn't for most... I won't hold my breath (despite 5 million sold) that this becomes as popular as the iSheeplephone. I've got 2 Streaks on the shelf for the same reason.... Love the form factor.
I've been thinking about the Note for a while now. I tried to make a Pros/Cons list on whether to buy one or not, and ended up being a draw. Currently I've got a Galaxy Nexus.
I love the HUGE Screen, but it's still very "Samsung-y".
I like the big battery, but just bought an extended battery on my Nexus.
The Camera is really good, but not as quick as the one on my Nexus.
If I buy it, I'll have to extend my contract for 3 years, If I don't, I don't extend my contract.
There seems to be a counterpoint to every point in its favour.
All smart ass comments aside this is the best phone I've ever owned.

I was really up in the air about getting my note, I spent weeks debating it. Eventually I said screw it, I play around on my tiny galaxy S all day long -- the big screen will be so much better, so I got one and the big screen was so much better.
and I lived happily ever after.
Hey everyone,
Just a short summary on me first and what gadgets i've owned before..
Every single iPhone, the 2G, 3G, 3GS, 4, 4S, Every single iPad, 1,2,3,
The HTC TItan Windows Phone, also I have the new Lumia 900.
The original first Motoroal Droid, and the Nexus one, the LG G2x, the Samsung galaxy S2, the Motorola RAZR MAXX.
As you can see I love gadgets, I don't have an ounce of fanboy'ism in my blood period.
Android in itself actually upset me, i just got tired of all the BS...that's why I hopped around phones a lot.. i got tired of resetting them.. battery pulling..etc etc...the Sluggishness of the UI.. etc.. The SGS2 was really IMO the best Android phone out of all of them that i've ever used.. i loved it.
Now we are here to the Galaxy note... WOW..JUST WOW.. i'm blown away by this thing.. maybe it's the screen size? or the gorgeous looking screen in general?
The build quality is NOT CHEAP.. for those of you reading this.. i was worried about that looking at videos b/c it LOOKS like cheap plastic.. trust me it's not at all.. coming from the RAZR Mazz which is supposed to have a solid back? that thing was garbage compared to this build quality.. I even love the feel of the clicking on the Power Sleep button.
Software-, I used it for 2 hours out of box, and was pretty turned off.. i was thinking to myself.. oh god here we go.. So i RUSHED to the XDA forums looking for roms.. i asked around nobody really answered or helped me so i figured it out on my own.
I ended up choosing the Team perfection Objection (RC3)..
i'm BLOWN AWAY... it's so smooth and fast... EVERYTHING WORKS.. i love it..
I can honestly say this is definitely going to hold me over until the iPhone 6 gen comes out. And it might take a miracle to pull me away because i have a feeling i'm going to fall in love with the huge screen size..
Camera-, it takes GREAT pictures.. i'm sure you guys already know that.. but i just had to confirm for those still thinking about buying.. coming from an iPhone 4S i don't feel bad about this purchase at all..
All in all.. my only frustration is that i don't have an LTE signal yet where i live... it's frustrating b/c it's literally 10 miles down the road! I could literally travel down the road and it picks up... it's also not where I work... =-( I hope ATT gets it's act together.

Software-, I used it for 2 hours out of box, and was pretty turned off.. i was thinking to myself.. oh god here we go.. So i RUSHED to the XDA forums looking for roms.. i asked around nobody really answered or helped me so i figured it out on my own.
I ended up choosing the Team perfection Objection (RC3)..
i'm BLOWN AWAY... it's so smooth and fast... EVERYTHING WORKS.. i love it..
I can honestly say this is definitely going to hold me over until the iPhone 6 gen comes out. And it might take a miracle to pull me away because i have a feeling i'm going to fall in love with the huge screen size..
Camera-, it takes GREAT pictures.. i'm sure you guys already know that.. but i just had to confirm for those still thinking about buying.. coming from an iPhone 4S i don't feel bad about this purchase at all..
All in all.. my only frustration is that i don't have an LTE signal yet where i live... it's frustrating b/c it's literally 10 miles down the road! I could literally travel down the road and it picks up... it's also not where I work... =-( I hope ATT gets it's act together.

The iphone seems like a toy now in comparison to the note.

Everything feels like a toy compared to the Note. My Infuse has a 4.5 inch screen which not so long ago was a monster phone, and now that just feels silly to use. Haha.

Imagine how I feel, I'm coming from my old trusty HD2 running Android... Been holding out for the longest and yes I'm happy I did. When I first purchased the HD2 I was amazed at the size.... Now with the Note, I think I purposely walk around with it in my hand so that everyone could see it. I kind of look forward to hearing comment like "Damn thats a big ass phone! What is it a tablet?". I think thats what get me through the day.... Can't wait till the devs get the official ICS for i717!!!
I really need to root this thing. Had it about a week, switching from Sprint, so we are trying it and ATT out for a bit to see if we want to leave sprint. And I have to say as the phone stands out of the box it's good. But other then the screen it didn't blow me away. But I have a feeling once I start flashing roms its gonna be great.
Not sure i could even entertain the idea of going back to a 4 inch screen iPhone 5 = FAIL

Dude use the Team perfection objection rom... omg... i'm freaking loving it.
As of right now the best rom for the galaxy note is Flappjaxxx's. I've tried 5 of the top roms here and his is BY FAR the smoothest and most reliable..not one single force close on any app and everything works!

imagine how I feel! I went from the note to the iPhone 4s! lol
I wanted Siri... hehe As soon as the Note has an official Samsung released ICS ROM, I'll switch back, or might end up with the gs3.

I'm sorry ....are you serious?! You switched to an inferior device for the sole reason of an app? You know we have voice command and s voice on our ICS roms right?

That is subject to personal preference but Flappjaxxx's rom is superb. No question about that.

What's the difference between Flappjaxxx's rom and Team perfection's objection?
I certainly love my Note and I get random glances and questions that I never got with any other phone. With that said, am I the only one irritated with people callimg it a tablet?

Same here... I was using a Samsung Galaxy S 2 Skyrocket and that's no small device. My wife has the same phone. When I hold it in my hand it feels tiny. At this point, the iPhone is a joke. A fragile device with little ability to customize and a tiny screen. No thanks. I know several people who left Apple because the iPhone is archaic and they don't regret it.
At first glance I fell in love with this device. Its sleek, has an amazing screen, beautiful design and very fast. Also has a okay camera (prefer my s3 way more). So whats not to love? Well after 9 days and mixing it up between devices my G now has a dead pixel, shuts off and is sluggish. I have no idea why because the phone has never been dropped or exposed to any kid of water. So needless to say I called AT&T and because I am within my 14 day period they are exchanging it even for a New Titanium Galaxy Note 2. Really wish it worked out, loved the phone. So you can catch me me back in the sammy forums for now, still might get another OG.

In most cases the issues of one does not represent the issues of many. Nevertheless, enjoy your Note II.
Cool story bro. Thanks for letting us know. Have a nice day.
No matter how good of quality a device is known for... there is always a bad batch that comes off the assembly line.
This applies to cars, phones, electronics, any consumer product...
I think that in this case, you are one of the unlucky few who got on one from the crap stack.

Just looking at the OP's "devices" in his sig makes me think he isn't happy with many many many devices...
Why people feel compelled to post these kind of posts is beyond me. You know what? No one really cares that you traded your phone.
Good for you. Enjoy.

Anyone that has used an iphone is never satisfied, hence why the iphone 5 was lower than the s3 and OG on the consumer reports (LGOG was number 1 in case you were wondering)

I don't think you should.
He had a freak occurrence defective device.
So he exchanged it.
I think that is rash, but his choice.
Impacts us in no way.
It is a shame he didn't get to appreciate the true OG.

In now way am I bashing or downing the OG. I would have gladly accepted another G in return. As a matter of fact I miss having it, I thought it was a great phone. BUT when I called AT&T and they offered a new Titanium Note 2 as the replacement why would I decline it. Especially if it dsent cost me anything. Like saying " I'm sorry sir that your new Honda Accord is a lemon, would you like this new Corvette for the replacement". Who is going to say no. Not only that but I wanted the note 2, havent had one before. And for the smartass who said " look at all his devices" If you had know that a majority of the android phones were bought and donated to the developers of those devices and that I am sorry I can afford to get the new phones when they come out. Get off my nuts bro dont be jeleous.

Definitely not "jeleous" about your English vocabulary.
Have fun in the Samsung forums with your ohsoridiculous amount of money. Hope you find less things to complain about with the Note 2 instead of making pointless posts on their subforum as well.
So they replaced a $100 contract phone with a $300 contract phone? Also, not jealous about the devices you have and have had as well as on your nuts about it, as it was a simple statement, that was a nervous assumption on your own, because you're in a corner defending yourself. I'm having fun feeding you as well, due to you being an obvious troll since you've provided nothing informative by making this topic.
Ye best start believin' in troll threads... Yer in one.

I have the Note 2 and the OG and I have to say the Note 2 is not as nice as the OG.
Only plus side is that it will have much more development support.
LG Optimus G E971
I just sold it, that's it I got tired of waiting for the devs's this phone is top, but will never get support because of LG stupid way of handling advertisements.
They make the phone and its like they don't want to sell it. Stupid LG will never buy form them.

That's why I still have my SGS2. I get to flash like crazy when I get the itch, plus, have an awesome backup in case something happens to this.
