OK...I know...get a life. It's a phone. I told myself that many times, and it worked for the most part. But as much as I want to be a grownup about this, I was like a kid on Christmas Eve last night. I kept waking up to see if it was time to wake up and go get my phone. Who else is willing to be a fool and admit that you went crazy over this phone? (Note: I don't get a lot for myself. This is the one thing that I do each year, and it's exciting as hell!).
I'm still going crazy checking to see if my phone has been delivered yet while running around trying despretly to find a case. :banghead:

No trouble sleeping for me, but the anticipation is making my head tingle. Can't wait for the work day to end so I can go home and grab my N3.
by far this is the worse phone fever ever. lol. because i fell in love with the note 2. the last phone fever was probably the gnex. didnt go quite crazy for the s3 or s4.
patiently waiting for my best friend to arrive. lol.
I had phone fever for the Nexus and then I felt severely disappointed after getting it. This time the N3 beat my own expectations. And then got better with root!

I walked in lastnight to buy my Note and the sales lady greeted me. We talked about the note for a bit, went to the display model and gave it a quick whirl and then I went through with placing the order for my upgrade.
I was there maybe 35 - 40 minutes and during that time, the same display model that I had used earlier, was stolen. They just left the back of the case attached to the security plug and took the body/battery.
There had to have been about 12 - 15 ATT store employees there and no one saw anything. Ofcourse they have video and the IMEI number so as soon as the phone is activated they can shut it down, but that was just incredible to me that someone had the balls to pull a stunt like that.
Drama aside, I'm loving the hell out of my white note! I'm 6-1, 225 coming from an Atrix and now that 4" screen looks like a toy. My wife is appalled at the size, but she's an ifangirl so... what can ya do lol
Haha, an ifangirl eh? Have to work on that man! I'm loving this phone too and I'm also coming from an Atrix. HUGE improvement. Recently converted the parents from their isheepism to the dark side of Android. Now the dad is rocking a Razr Maxx and the mom is using a Galaxy Nexus (they are on Verizon.) I think I did pretty good with that conversion! Lol. They are addicted to Android now, like I am.
That's unreal it was stolen while you were there. You made a killer phone choice, enjoy.

I've been trying to convert the boss lady, but she's quite happy being told how her phone should work lol.
I've converted my 2 brothers and their wives to Android though, all from iphones lol. I think I've done a fairly good job!
Yeah, the person who took the phone is on video and that IMEI is effectively a paperweight at this point. I hope it was worth it to the thief... I almost feel bad for that craig's list /ebay victim if they sell it that way.
Lol kind of dumb for them to attach it just by the back.

I can pop the back off with my CommuteMate DashGrip pad. That thing sticks so well I was using it to vertically mount the Note for the drive home back from BestBuy. I don't have any finger nails to pry off the back so I can use it if needed, lol.
Congrats on your Note purchase.

Happens every once and a while in our store. We can't physically stop anyone who does it either.
And the security attachment is supposed to be on both sides of the phone

Yeah at my store in schaumburg, it happens literally once a month.... however, people are getting clever with it. This one guy stole an iPhone 4s but get this.... he replaced it with an iPhone 4! I tried to demo siri to someone and was literally like... dafuq is this? One other time some guy stole an lg thrill and we had a running joke that he was the one that got duped

And it I thought it was something exciting like you figured out how to get your Note to do dishes or something....
But from reading this forum I'm getting nervous. How's everyone's battery life? Is the overheating battery and 3-4 hour battery life after it over heats common? Screen staying on while charging normal??? I am coming from a droid inc2 and I think I'm ready for a different brand but I get really nervous lol. $200 is a lot of cash for me and I really don't want to regret spending it. Someone tell me not to buy it or everything will be fine lol. Any feedback back would be much appreciated.

I got mine about 3 weeks ago and haven't looked back. Even though I broke the screen and had to replace it.
Now down to the battery, I plug mine in at 11pm and plug it out at about 6:30 to 7:00am I use it all day for calls, email, twitter, Facebook, xda and lots of other things. Basically I'm on it all day and by the end of the day I have about 20-23% left.
On the odd occasion I will plug it in during the day for about an hour but really it's not needed.
Go for it, you won't regret getting it.

It's gigantic IMO to big for a phone, but that's just my 2 cents. Samsung seems to be selling them like hot cakes, so what do I know.
Its been nice knowing you guys. I was very excited for this phone. I was one of the many who cursed apple for delaying my pre-order and checking these forums constantly for any rumor of the awaited release. I had to return my first one after a week due to a few issues but have been very happy with my evo since. Aside from some LTE connection issues, the power button on my phone decided to crap out. Thankfully since i am running mean rom, the camera button does wake the phone so i am able to use it for the time being. Because of the 4g lte issues and the fact that i would like to take out my battery at will, i am going to request that I get a GS3 as a replacement. Its been nice knowing you all.
good bye and have fun.

When i seen my 64 year old mother with the GS3 i just had to rule it out as ever being an option.

I first joined the android crowd back in the Samsung fascinate days, then I went to IOS. Now I am back for a 14 day trial before I can return phone and get my money back. I am very pleased with this phone but I have a few questions. First the battery life is much better than expected but I have been using a case on my iPhone that actually contains a battery so I obviously never run out of juice in a day. Since we can't really replace the battery in the DNA, will we ever see something like that for this phone? I rooted and flashed my fascinate many times in the past, so once I decide if I am keeping this phone,I will probably do the same. Do you think the developers will jump on the DNA bandwagon and give us many options to choose for custom roms?

I'm considering buying this device, and I was wondering what people think of it, how the development is, and last but not least, how hard is it getting used to the size. I've played around with it for a little bit, but $300 is a little hard to swallow for something I'm unsure of. I appreciate any opinions... BTW I looked for a general talk thread before I posted here
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
I haven't read many complaints at all. I didn't have to get use to the size, it was nice right away.
Look in the development sections, it was rooted 2 or 3 days after release and the bootloader was unlocked a week later.
There are at least 5 or 6 ROMs out for it at the moment.
I have owned about 12 android phones since the OG DROID.... This is easily the best phone I have ever owned. The size feels normal now... Doesn't feel big at all. I could never go to a smaller screen now. This phone is stupid fast too.... All around awesome
Sent from my most awesome phone EVER!!!!
i have to say this is my best upgrade since going from the curve to the original droid. Ive had the droid x, thunderbolt, charge, and gs3, but this is just another world of usefulness. I havent turned my tablet on since getting it.
I have owned practically every Motorola android phone. This is my first Samsung. I am thoroughly impressed. It's absolutely awesome. At this point it would take me a lot to go back to Motorola - or a smaller phone. I love the size of it. It has almost replaced both my tablets. I would highly recommend it.
Sent from my Note 2 using xda premium
Best phone I've owned, I'm 6'5 so the size makes no issue to me. I feel funny holding any other device now. Don't forsee myself ever owning anything smaller. On the other hand, rumors of the n3 being 6.3in are crazy? This device is sized perfectly.
I was also able to haggle with Verizon down to $250, tell them you know a manager in another territory that can ship you phone on discount but you don't wanna wait, tell them you want to walk out with it today (when you go in). Discount is around $60 from a territory manager I know...
Good luck!

No regrets at all I was scared to jump on it but after having the phone for a little while it's amazing.
I think you'll have more trouble getting used to the size of any phone other than this one once you've used it. After one day with this phone I don't imagine I could ever use a smaller phone again. As for development, considering how new it is, it's pretty impressive. We have a few TouchWiz and AOSP roms already. I thought 300 was outrageous at first (considering all other high-end phones are about 200) but considering the amount of phone (feature-wise and physically) it is pretty reasonable. Just go for it. I am (almost) willing to personally guarantee you'll love it.

I just got this phone yesterday. I paid full retail price for it. I thought I would be disappointed, however I love it. I have had the OG droid, the Galaxy nexus, Droid bionic, HTC rezound... and now this. The OG droid was my favorite before this. All the phones in between were pretty bogus, none of them met my expectations. This phone is a massive leap in hardware and software compared to all the others.
You ask that question on this forum.. what results are you excepting? If people are here, they are fans of the device.
As for me, it's awesome. I got my teenage son one too, he is ecstatic.
I couldn't decide and finally just said **** it since Verizon extended the return period. So far I'm very happy. Came from a Galaxy Nexus...

im in the same boat , bought off contract to keep unlimited data. In coming from a gnexus I will say that I love love love the hardware but I hate the software. I've become such a CM fanboy that i think im just jaded to sloppy looking touchwiz and carrier bloat. ill be in heaven once some official cm nightlies start rolling out. for now the jelly beans rom and nova have hidden a lot of the touchwiz bs but theres still a lot to remove to be back to normal. I have to also add that im very impressed with the battery life of this thing.
I paid the full price for and I hate paying full price for anything and it was worth it. You part of the club yet?
