Supposedly it's coming out in July for Verizon

Pass ... Not a fan of Samsung build quality

With a dual core 1.2 ghz processor it better have a good battery that comes with it stock. I am not changing phones to just get battery life that is worse then the thunderbolt.

If it's LTE, I'll use my upgrade on it.

SII seems solid but the Droid 3 may be my Thunderbolt replacement.

The Droid Bionic supposedly is a 4.5 LTE monster...but blur and locked bootloader...no thanks

If its LTE yes.

I had the fascinate and I will not ever buy ANY samsung product. I even returned a samsung monitor I had back to costco.

I loved my Vibrant, I'd probably go back to Sammy if it was LTE.

It is surely tempting, to say the least.

yeah, had a fascinate. i think i'll pass on this. samsung phones feel cheap and they use too much plastic. just doesnt feel like an expensive device.

This. Worst phone I've ever owned, and I've had every android on VZW except for the Ally and Inc.

I'll wait until it launches, see what the developer scene looks like, before I make a decision. I won't be jumping on launch day, but I've been impressed with Samsung's recent actions, fast kernel source releases, donations of phones to developers, etc.

Nope pass

Fascinate was not that bad, minus Bing and the poor updates of course. Build quality is subjective.

For anyone looking to upgrade to the RAZR

If you are looking to upgrade I thought I would post this for you all.

How many of you plan on picking one up? At this price its tempting to add a new line.

Add a new line
I am super tempted, I hate waiting for the Galaxy Nexus. If I got it I would just return it for the GN anyways so.
But, when you add a line the price goes back up to $200 on contract. Still great, but not $111.

Cool phone, holding out for the Nexus though. Can't beat ICS + HD screen + first to update + no carrier/manufacturer crap.

am waiting for the nexus too

Unfortunately, the 111.11 price is only for NEW lines. Upgrades/etc are $249.

I really do like the razr but I may as well hold out for the nexus. I have yet to own an android phone that has received any sort of update. I started with the HTC Aria, moved to the D2G, and now the charge. I really like the fact of no bloat out of the box too and we all know the roms we are dying to get on our phones will be available almost from day one. Part of me is also wanting to try, dare I say it, WP7.

That's not even the price for new lines -- it's just for new accounts.
Upgrades and new lines on existing accounts are both 249.99 (which is still $50 less than buying it straight from Verizon, though).

Yea, me too.
I've been too spoiled by the awesome screen to settle for a downgrade like the Razr would be.
I also refuse to buy a phone that I can't carry a spare battery for.

Nexus 7 owner thinking about getting infinity pad

Hi guys I have a nexus 7 got it on release . It is my first ever tablet I love it but I find myself using my gnex more than it .I feel like it is an over sized gnex rather than a true tablet . I recently sold my dell xps 15 z and I really need something I can use to do word documents check email tweet a bit Skype my girl friend etc ..I was wondering if selling my nexus 7 to get an infinity pad is a good idea?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

I was deciding between the Nexus 7 and the Transformer Infinity for my first tablet purchase. The iPad was out because of the closed ecosystem, and I have already paid for android apps on my phone that will scale up well once installed on the tablet. The Nexus 7 was almost a no brainer for me, it has a great price, quad-core processor, amazing screen and great software support from Google except for the lack of
1. MicroSD expandability (gameloft games on average take up at least 2 gigs of internal memory)
2. HDMI-out (with apps like Netflix, Hulu plus, and HBO go not to mention flash support, being able to output that to a TV screen is a huge plus)
For about twice as much as the Nexus 7, the Infinity offers a higher resolution screen that's also brighter powered by a top of the line quad core processor. It also includes a microSD slot, 8 mp camera, microHDMI out and the ability to expand via a mobile docking station that adds additional battery life, full sized USB OTG support and a SD slot. I have to say that all the additional features are worth the extra premium. I don't have to worry about storage space and the tablet functions much like a laptop replacement for me. If you're on the fence between the two, I'd say go for the Infinity.

Thanks dude yeah I have the nexus 7 now ...idk it just seems like an overweight galaxy nexus ....I'm really leaning on getting the tf700

I had the same situation, I was wondering between Nexus 7 and Asus Infinity. Those were actually the only options I was considering.
Lets just say that finally the decision turned into Infinity because here in FInland cannot yet buy Nexus 7. Also because I already have a big screened phone (SGS3) i was thinking that the difference between phone and tablet would then be quite small.
My feelings are quite divided currently. On the other hand I love the screen, it is sharp and nice. I like to read books and magazines from it. But then on the other hand the Android system is very laggy. Not sure what is going on here but this is much worse than for example with Galaxy S 2 and no reason to put this on the same table with Galaxy S 3.
Also for example right now I just for some reason lost connection to wifi and this claims not in range. However I have Galaxy S 3 and ipad 1 just next to it and both are working just fine..
I truly hope this is just some sucky software, but currently can't say I am impressed...
Just watching videos about Nexus 7..should I..

Yeah, I had a nexus 7. It wasn't bad just didn't have enough space. It was surely an upgrade to the galaxy tab 8.9 I had before it. I gave my mom the nexus 7 when I picked up the Infinity, and the Infinity is great. The FFC on the Infinity is nice for Skype and the key-dock isn't bad. Its a little small but not hard to type on. I have extra-large glove sized hands and I never get typos on regular keyboards, but do get a few on the Infinity's. I wouln't want to write a novel on the Infinity but for short papers, emails, etc its not bad at all and beats onscreen keyboards hands down. Lots of luck in your decision making.

I have both...the Nexus 7 is fun to play games on and read on...also, there is a lot of development for it already and it's fun to flash new roms and kernels. It does have serious storage limitations and you just can't use it for anything related to productivity, at least I can't. The TF infinity is just a bigger. more meaty tablet...I'm typing this now on the keyboard dock, got a wireless mouse, and with the super battery life I'm getting, I really don't need a laptop. I'm running the Zeus rom and it's much smoother and snappier than before.

That's because it's impossible to answer a question like that - we are not you - we don't use the device the same as you would. How can someone else decide which device is better for you? That's a personal decision based on your usage and personal preferences!
Personally, I think the Nexus 7 and the Infinity are two completely different beasts. It's very hard to truly compare them. One is small enough to slide it your jacket pocket and one is more of a netbook replacement (assuming you get the keyboard dock). They really are geared toward different audiences.
So, to answer you question - go to a store and try them out and see which you would prefer! That's the only way to really answer your question.

I was in the same exact situation as you! I bought the Nexus 7 and really did like it especially the smoothness and the feel of jelly bean. But I have an Evo 4G lte 4.5 inch screen it just felt like a bigger version of it. So I sold the Nexus 7 and bought the Infinity and I've had it for a couple of days and I have mixed feelings. The screen on the infinity is amazing, but the lagginess and wifi dropping off is kinda getting on my nerves. The Nexus 7 did not have these issues I'm disappointed in the performance and debating exchanging it and trying a new one. I think in retrospect I should have kept the Nexus and the Infinity. Just my two cents.

I have the Nexus 7 and someone is offering me a swap and I only have to add 200 dollars for the 64gb version! The form factor of the N7 is unbeatable, it's extremely portable and easy to play games on. Surfing is a breeze and you don't feel tired when holding it for a very long time. On the other hand the screen has a lot less to be desired upon AND the screen flickering issue of the n7 is INSANE. I was just about ready to give up on the n7 but I just flashed AOKP build 3 and it might have just did the trick! I also brought my router closer and I think it does help.
I've been reading on the transformer and it has the same screen flickering issue so I'm having second thoughts.

I personally have zero screen flickering on either the Transformer Infinity or on the Nexus 7 (which my daughter has now appropriated). I believe that there are a number of units of both tablets with hardware issues but I've been fortunate enough not to experience them.

I am using the 10.1 with BT as a phone, the 5.3 is getting some rest
I am not a very heavy phone caller so that seems to work for me
Except the week end as I need to be light and pop the sim back into the 5.3

I use both, seems redundant but I haven't owned the 10.1 for long enough to make a decision.

I've been using the international note since the European launch last November, and I'm now thinking I'll go back to a "normal" phone when I replace the original Note. Maybe a Galaxy S3 or the next Nexus...
It does seem like overkill to have both, and the Note 10.1 is just spectacular!
Of course I may change my mind when I see the specs of the Note 2...

I concur with HasC... love this note 10.1, only wish I'd bought the 3g version instead of wifi (I ordered a 3g yesterday to replace my wifi version).
I'll carry the miniNote aroumd 24/7 and use it when megaNote use would be inconvenient or too conspicuous... but suspect I'll have and use megaNote with higher frequency than miniNote except for phone use.
In short, I think both have great utility and see keepung and using both.

I've got both as well. I still like to have the 5.3 for little notes for when I don't have access to my 10.1, plus its 100% reliable for me. I've been Bluetooth tethering to my 10.1 all day with no issues, the camera is top notch, no issues with the software, battery life is excellent, especially since its getting less use now. I thought about selling it for a Nexus, but I couldn't live without the great camera. I may go for an S3 if I can find a decent price on eBay, but otherwise I'll be satisfied with this for a while.

Use both in business daily.
I bought the 10.1 because of the 5.3.
Have them synced thru dropbox.
It's a powerful combination.

I have both Notes.
The 10.1 is not in any way a replacement for the 5.3 - It's a tablet, it can't fit in your pocket. The original Note can.
The N7000 is my phone, the N8013 is my tablet (well one of two... I also have a Nexus 7... Each device has its place. The N8013 probably won't get too much use beyond hacking until a combo Bluetooth keyboard/folio comes out for it.)

I've been using both. smaller Note 5.3 when I am walking around and the bigger note when i am stationary or really want to check out a web page or working in forums.

Nexus 4 and Nexus 10. Android 4.2

The verge just posted this, at first I was sceptical, but it grew on me now I want! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66-4uMQqerA&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Yes, glad they announced these.
I need lte and the best network in America and not a thick ass LG phone. Too bad, really, months ago I was eagerly anticipating seeing the next nexus while using a gnex. Loving my recently and freely acquired galaxy s3 but I could see a note 2 in my future.

I'm starting to really lust after the Nexus 10. I wonder how different it is compared to the Note 10.1. I like the dual-front-facing speakers, but the S-Pen could be cool to have.

ive been burned by the last 2 nexus devices and i won't be fooled again, not even for key lime pie. i also wouldn't even think of owning a lg device. the gs3 will get android 4.2 in some form or another.

officially i don't think we will ever get it. but i suspect the cm team will be working on it by years end.

I'm watching the video now, Google is doing a great job.

Google won't release source until the Nexus 4 is released. Then i bet the Galaxy Nexus will be the first to get a custom build going. THEN we might see some AOSP ports for the S3. Who knows when but i wouldn't hold my breath. My guess is Spring time 2013. Glad i still have my GN, might have to trade back with the gf lol.

We don't even have 4.1 yet, and there is no hope of a stable build till an official VZW release. All the AOSP JB roms you see have issues.
We can expect 4.2 on this phone by the time KeyLimePie is announced, if we're lucky.

off topic but i really want htc & moto to make a nexus. i was hoping the rumor of multi-oem's making them would come true.

Guess it comes down to how much hassle I want. If I used the cloud I'd have to only keep 1 or 2 movies for offline viewing, and recycle as necessary to manage 16gb. Gonna have to think about this one. $100 of storage versus $100 of accessories and play store purchases.
