Don't think it's coming in 30 days.. Also have you guys noticed how big that phone is?! It's crazy.

I have both. I got the GNote for Christmas. I did not really use it as a phone until this week when I went back to work. I planned to switch my SIM out every other week or so.
I am due to switch to my skyrocket next week and I do not really want to. The GNote is awesome!
- Screen is fantastic! HD resolution makes the skyrocket icons look like that cricket phone for old people the icons are so big in comparison!
- Bluetooth is fantastic again! I can use my Jawbone and car bluetooth again. The Gnote works as it should with bluetooth. My skyrocket is useless.
- HSPA+ speeds on my GNote are good enough. I thought I would miss LTE but I have really not.
- Battery life is amazing! 2500 mAh battery lasts and lasts! Not sure how LTE will affect the US variant. Will be better than the skyrocket though.
- The only real downside is that there are not many cases etc for the GNote unless you import them and you really do not know the quality as most are made in China. Hopefully ATT will keep the size the same so we will have more cases to choose from.
- I am not even talking about the S pen, S Planner etc. Very cool stuff you can do with theses apps and more.
- I predict the GNote will be a huge hit in the US! Hopefully all carriers will get it so all can enjoy it!
Not ditching. But planing on adding. It. Yeah the note is badass. 5.3 inch hd amoled. Awesomeness. And you can get the international version now. As he has. But the att version wil have the same cpu/gpu we have, and LTE. Also the note was confirmed for ics just like us.
One funny thing is the comments you will receive. The funniest are when ladies say something like OMG, that thing is huge! hahaha!
or is that the ipad 3? lol!
I'm thinking of adding it also...btw how is the GPS...the skyrockets GPS outta awesome..

i thought about that before. i borrow my friend's note and try it. Everything looks great except i can't really put it on my pocket, and it looks so weird when i hold it for phone call. it feels like i am holding an tablet. I wish they have skyrocket + note merge version lol. One more last thing, i really hate that physical home button.
I'm 50/50 right now, would depend if I can sell this for a reasonable price
i just signed a 2 year contract (more than 30 days in). I want the note bad but I am stuck with the skyrocket. not a bad thing though.
anyone have any idea of an ETA for the note?
I had the TITAN for 3 weeks and I thought that was huge. Looks awesome but I don't know if that 5.3" screen would fit in my pocket

One thing you could do is find someone who is still in their 30 day period (like me), have them return their Skyrocket, buy the GNote, then trade the Gnote with your Skyrocket (and you pay the difference to them, plus maybe a bit for the hassle).
Not saying I'm volunteering necessarily, but it's an idea!
why even talk about this phone here. i dont get it....
Cause its the next Sammy that att is getting...

I can't decide which one to get right now
It was rumored to be out by the end of this month, followed by the nexus by the end of March

So here we go, another Samsung/T-Mobile fail. Why do they always do this. They always bring out the same headset with just some minor changes.
Why not get the Galaxy Nexus already?
If T-Mobile didn't have such good customer service and cheap plans I would of cancelled a long time ago. We always seem to get the short end of the stick.
Guess what's gonna happen when this is released. Even less development, that's what. Grrrr.

Lol probably 720p screen thing is it probably the same phone with 720p display. So when we get new roms so they will as well. With a simple convergence zip.

You must be *****ng me, god damn carries these days..
Yeah it's the same as the sky rocket HD for att just a higher screen resolution but we will must likely be able to use their roms to so I don't mind

Wasnt it two days ago that people were praising att for having so many galaxy options
i'll legitimiately be upset if all it has is a better screen. That's all this phone needs

Lol. Havent you guys ever noticed art and tmobile always get similar counterparts as far as phones go. Don't know why people complain and say they get more. We got amaze and they got rezound. They get this new HD and we get blaze. They have similar bbs and other phones. Just throwing out my perspective. Oh and stop *****ing and just don't buy it. Don't people keep phones for more than a year now.

Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
The most puzzling thing is that it has the same specs as the T-Mobile Galaxy SII, but is branded as a Galaxy S device.
I'm sorry but as valid as these responses get thus is ridiculous. Just return the phone and wait if it bothers you so much. This phone prob won't be out for another six months. By then when you buy it some "better" phone will be announced. What are you hoping to buy that is future proof?

Yeah, this one should come with ICS since there is no Nexus yet, but of course it won't.
Like previous post it has the same specs, but this one will probably have an HD screen on it. #lame
I doubt this will be out in six months, I'm guessing Feb/March.

It seems to me like this is a dumbed down version of the GSII. First of all they are calling it a "Galaxy S" instead of Galaxy S II, and the screen is called "Super Amoled", but not Super Amoled Plus or HD.

i just hope this isnt what T-mobile is getting instead of SGS3, that will be my next phone even if i have to buy it un-locked, the Nexus has ICS but comes with so many fails in my eyes , not enough for me to sell my SGS2 and get one

Samsung probably figured out how to fix our screen issues with the lines and blotches and decided that instead of admitting fault and having to fix all the sold phones with the issue they could just release a new model with no issues and a better res to make money instead of losing it... guess ill probably wait for the galaxy s3 hd blaze... n this whole galaxy fiasco is starting to remind me of the iphone adding a letter or number to the end without really even upgrading anything in the phone
Just curious how many of us out there are going to move on to the galaxy note. I'm still in my 30 days with skyrocket and trying to make the decision to return it and go back to my old phone until the note comes out. I love the skyrocket but I switched to it for bigger display and LTE and the note accomplishes that even further. Soooo what do you all think?

Hmm... I'll make the decision once ICS comes out for our phone and compare.

If it has an S3, I'm staying far away from it.
The Adreno 220 is good, but terrible at higher res, look at the Rezound, it lags on anything.
The Note won't be any different...
The note didn't lag on me at all...and battery life was amazing ...I was on it for two hours straight
Its an amazing device....but I am waiting for the galaxy s3

Mr ed,
Were you on LTE when you tested it? How was the reception on LTE? I wonder if it is any thicker than the International version? I may sell my skyrocket and get the ATT version to go with my International GNote if the battery life and reception etc all review out well. I will wait a month or so after the launch to make sure I see all the reviews before moving forward.
Once you get used to the GNote, the skyrocket does not cut it for resolution and features.
Yeah after only two hours with it my skyrocket seems so wimpy

Ill be switching. Ive had something warm for the Note since its release but couldn't justify buying an unlocked unwarrentied phone (I party too much) My skyrocket has performed amazingly and it seems from the numbers the Note will too. I had an ATT sgs2 and then the skyrocket and I couldn't notice any difference in the processors. Ill have the ATT Note on launch day and Im sure Ill love it.
Hmm... according to red in another thread, AT&T is getting the GNexus.
I seriously hope that's true, so I'll wait a month or 2 (also gives the Note time to mature, and get some dev going, I don't like being an early adopter.)
Sorry if that came across that way...they are NOT getting it

Well then.... ****.
I can get the International GNexus, or AT&T GNote... this will be one tough choice.
I'd love to switch, but just got the combo Skyrocket + Galaxy Tab 8.9. I suppose I can't return just the Skyrocket now. The 30 day return window should be up by next week.
My only option should be selling the skyrocket on ebay. How much are they going for anyway?
Aww man the G Note, i am really wanting one but the screen size is giving me second thoughts. Maybe if i see one in person i would probably have a better decision. If not the G Note i may just hold out for the skyrocket HD with 4.65 screen it could be the perfect size for me.
Mmmm Note is very attractive but I'm going to wait the price get lower....can't wait

Any skyrocket devs going to the note? It would be nice to have some guys familiar with the hardware cooking for this monster. Im hoping that there just has to be some recompiling done to the skyrocket roms to accomadate the larger hd screen. I would guess the faux kernel would work since it says it works with pretty much all GB sammys. I almost which sammy sprung the release on us like they did with the skyrocket lol this wait is killing me
I hate it when you buy a phone like the awesome Skyrocket, and find out that within the next 2 months a better version of the Skyrocket is coming out. The Skyrocket HD. I came from Verizon and had the HTC REZOUND. The HD DISPLAY was awesome. But even though the Skyrocket resolution is a lot lower something about the super amoled plus screen is amazing. My question is should I dish out my own money for the new Skyrocket HD WHEN IT COMES OUT? Or just live with the one I got, which I love? I really love hd screens. Especially coming from the Rezound. Help?Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
If you want the HD ...get it. Its your choice.

I would just wait patiently. Theres a rumor its not going into production. So all you can do is wait until its announced by at&t. That it will be available for pre order
Did I start that rumor?
I think it is going to release as the S3...we will know soon. none of these sammy guys had even heard of the skyrocketed hd

it was already announced by att at ces, its on their website as coming soon. the sky hd was just stupid for att because they might as well just get the gs3, which they probably will in q3 or q4
Samsung is aware that it was at ces ..they made the thing....think of it as the concept car that never hit production....or eventually does but with a different name
If you haven't seen my posts regarding the S3 look again.
I have no doubt we are going to see an hd phone. ot will have the same processor and a 4.65" screen. it will Prolly be called the S3 or the skyrocketed hd.
It isn't going to be quadcore....there will be no mind blowing spec changes.
No...these guys at Samsung won't give me exact info, they could lose their job....but they have always given me enough to speculate with 95% accuracy.
Something is coming, another mad rush of device releases...otherwise they would not have been looking for outside device testers etc.

We have the top of the line phone right now. Phones and tablets are constantly getting better like computers were a few years ago. Might as well wait and get the next top of the line phone next contract.
Just my $0.02
Example: the transformer prime is already old news. A much higher resolution one with wifi/GPS fixes is on its way later this year.

Well I, like many of you, have had my phone now for just over a year and I think its about time to look for something new. Restarts are becoming increasingly frequent and my SIM tray has become exposed to the harsh world that is a pocket as my back has snapped in two. After hundreds of reflashes and ROM installs, the phone is finally starting to give in. Anyone else experiencing similar circumstances? With the last sliver of plastic barely covering my battery, I've been looking for a worthy replacement of the BEST phone I've owned to date.
So, that being said...
What phone are you guys itching to get your hands on?
For me, I obviously see the S4 as the strongest phone, spec wise, to be coming out this year but with a release date said to be sometime after May, I may need something earlier.
HTC M7- meeeeeehh. I'd get it if it was the only 1080p phone AT&T will bring in.
Any LG Phone- nope.
Xperia Z- I reaaaally like how this phone looks and with all its specs, its tops on my list. Who knows though, by the time it comes to the states, octacores will be standard and it'll sell like the x10.
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S4
Tablet:Nexus 7 cuz of price and space

I still think those rumors of an 8 core are false, that chip set design is VERY new. And at the earliest itll drop in may, we may see reviews and sneak peaks in March however
Maybe the next Nexus, if they're able to keep the price down again and meet demand.... or if a smaller G-Note ever comes out.
I'm in no hurry though. SlimBean has been rock solid for me. I'm also getting great speeds on T-Mo (even faster d-load speeds than my friend's G-Nex) in the Bay Area.. and I have the option to go back to ATT's LTE if I ever wanted to.
