I'm a huge fan boy of Samsung.....amazing engineering and well priced for excellent product!
So naturally my first Samsung was captivate! then the skyrocket! Omg what a phone! Bigger screen crisper resolution.....no lag.....front facing camera! Thank you Samsung!
Then fate handed me a GNote! With a stylus! (my first smart phone had a stylus and I was devastated that they started phasing them out) this phone has a huge huge screen. Beautiful white body with great cameras. Everything and more then the skyrocket had. The phone does feel a tad bit bulky...one handed operation can be difficult...but once you get used to it....there is no turning back. I fell in love and the extra function of the s pen has added an extra dimension to smart phones today. I can take a picture of myself and customize a message to my wife. Not a generic template that every one with access to market place can use. But I can create a masterpiece and personalize everything for each person.
If you're thinking of getting a new phone the obvious choice is the GNote! How many processors do you truly need? If you need more then two...grab a PC. The real estate this phone offers is surreal combined with the ability to use the s pen to personalize every single message you send to someone is beyond worth the upgrade. Also the s pen can input complex formulas and mathematical problems that go into my calculus course....about to try it on my discrete mathematics class.
Go for it. Now who wants to buy a skyrocket??

ugh
I had one. Too big, and too slow. Went back to my rocket.
LOL! Funny - I'm going back from a Note to a Skyrocket despite the fact that there's allot I enjoy about my Note. I love the screen, but I never find myself using the S-Pen like I thought I would and it's just too big for me to take it around on my belt easily (I get out and about a fair amount). I really like my Note it and may keep it as a backup (if I can afford to), but it's just not working out for me on a daily basis like I thought it would.
Far too large for me..
I love my skyrocket

Well to each their own . You realize the hardware (processor-ram) is the same as skyrocket? So speeds are technically the same. Atleast I read they were. I could be wrong.
They are both great phones....but skyrocket is just too small a screen. I do alot of reading ebooks and webpages so the note is perfect for that.
So anyways...I love them both

I like the size of the note for playing around, but for ME it just isnt practical. That and the fact that me and my friends get a good laugh everytime we see someone holding the note to their ear talking on it.
I'm already close to my limit fitting my Skyrocket in my pocket yet alone a Note.. that thing is huge.
At the gym theres like a 30% chance that my phone pops out of my shorts lol.

I had a note. I use my phone A LOT. The note was hurting my hand holding it all day and using the pen. So I traded for a skyrocket. I really really tried to like the note. You can make smart phones as large as you want, you can make one the size of a bus that you have to put a sim card in. But there has to be a line drawn somewhere, and for me, the note was just to big. Not to mention I was never seld conscious until I was holding that thing to my ear. If you want real estate, get a tablet. For me, the skyrocket is about as big as im comfortable with. To each his own, but its nonsense to try and convince someone otherwise, everyone knows what they want and can afford out of a phone, and will buy accordingly.
I had a Note for about two months, sold it.
Sorry, but you (anyone) look ridiculous using that phone, plus it's laggy (even custom ROMs) and it garnered too much attention from people for my taste.
not interested in the note at all.

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?

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!

I don't know about calling them retards, as that's a touchy word. However, ignorant and misguided, yes.
This phone is truly the future. It has so many capabilities. The S Pen may be seen as gimicky by some people, but I feel that they are just jealous or uninformed that it is more than a stylus. The big beautiful screen may seem unnecessary to some, but I guarantee that if they actually used it for a while, they would see that there are endless benefits to it. Unless you wear girl jeans or some serious nuthuggers, the Note is definitely pocketable. And if you're wearing those types of jeans, you should also be carrying a purse, which makes pocketability a non-issue. Also, using a device one handed is nice, but is it really necessary? When is a time that you should REALLY be using your phone where you can't use two hands? If your hands are full, I'm sure you can either set the stuff down to answer a call, otherwise I'm sure that text or email can wait.
People complaining about the pentile display are just stupid. Yes, on lower resolution devices, it was annoying. I could clearly see the pixels on my Cappy, but I dealt with it because it really isn't that bad. However, on the Note, the resolution is so good that from a normal using distance, you really can't see the pixels. Anybody who thinks this statement is ridiculous, go play with the thing and see for yourself before bashing pentile.
Also, for those who are self-conscious about holding the Note up to their head for a call...really? People are more likely gawking at how awesome of a phone you have, and curious as to what it is, not judging you for using such a large device. And since when does what a stranger thinks about you matter so much to people? You're likely to never talk to them, and I'm sure if you did, the Note would be a great conversation starter, rather than a point for them to criticize you on.
Well today is the last day that I will be a GS3 owner. My DNA is getting here tomorrow and god knows how many times I tried to stay with this phone. The radio issues makes my phone experience terrible.
I really love this phone though but all I can say is farewell GS3.

I don't use my phone 24/7 because I work 10hr shifts,...but it should last me a day or two on moderate use. I also played with the RAZR Max HD and it was great..defenetly a phone to look into.

See, I disagree because I played with it today for at least 30 minutes. The Verizon rep kept coming to me asking me if I needed an upgrade lol...and I did not notice any lag. I opened Facebook and played a few games that were installed on the phone. I noticed that the phone needs a bit of tweaking with notifications and everything but other than that it was faster than the S3. I like the S3 because of the buttery scrolling but that is due to the scrolling affects. If I do not like sense I will just slap Nova Prime on it and be done with it
I dont know how to live with only 11gb of memory.... 3 nandroid backups... 2 rom zips, some music, some naked pics (of my girl of course) and i would be getting that annoying "insufficient memory" crap..

In all seriousness, get the Note2. Very nice step up from the S3. IMHO a 1080 screen is nice, but not worth all the other drawbacks.
You may not see lag at first but once you get all you apps and background services you'll see it lag. Htcs overlay really slows down phones. My s3 on the other hand hasn't slowed down yet even with a ton of apps and services running in the background. Also the s3 will most likely see more updates than the DNA.

Cloud storage is the next big thing for mobile devices, and if you're in a solid 4G area and don't have limited data, why not give it a shot.

I do not need a massive storage because I don't listen to music on my phone..I have a 32g I pod for that.

fyi - You could use "Sweet Home!" application to automatically send your pics in your gallery to your computer when you get to your HOME network and then you could auto delete it as well, if you want. Super neat app.
If you can get two days out of the DNA then you don't even need a cell phone, lol. If you left it sitting on your desk with no use it wouldn't last 2 days. The screen is nice but personally no SD card, hardly any dev support and a locked boot loader are deal breakers.
Spending 30 minutes in a Verizon store is irrelevant when they're making sure you get a sick WiFi and 4g signal!!
I will make a prediction of your actual usage - 24 hours on battery, 5 minutes of screen time!!
I have a friend who works for HTC and have played with every device they have. Personally I think the battery life on their phones make them useless.

Although it seems like a great device, I don't see that "wow" factor over the s3. I have like 5 upgrades that I could use and it still doesn't seem worth it. The software will eventually make its way over here. My hardware never seems underpowered and my battery life is great so my real world upgrade would be for a nicer screen.

Me because my Galaxy S4 screen broke.
Will be rocking this until my S4 gets fixed.
Although I bought a note 3 few months ago I keep coming back here hoping for some kind of miraculous break through.
You'll may think that I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. Lol

Rocking one in the drawer and one loaned to a friend... The amaze is treating me well so I will be looking for a buyer soon.
On this forum the miracle is when someone has enough money to buy another phone... lol.

I just got my Nexus 5 today. I'm going to be giving my G2x to my little brother. Hopefully he can enjoy it as much as I did.
Yup. Still rockin it fly like a G2X running skyrom and the wife rockin it with stock GB rooted... and the fact I can't afford a new phone since we got these both for free from a coworker who upgraded to iPhones...
Sent from my 32 Gb Nexus 5... ahhhh who am I kidding.........
I'm still dreaming of a stable JB at least. :banghead:
Still love this phone. I can easily get another one but I'm too busy to start over. I'm sure my next phone would be xda friendly.

I still have my g2x in case anything new happens with development although I don't know how many devs are really left lol. The nexus 5 is an amazing device.....it would have to be something really crazy in terms of development for the g2x to make me get the dust off mine and boot it up.

It stood well the test of time. I've reclaimed the very first Android phone, myTouch 4G from my cousin. I gave him my Nexus 4.
Anyway, I compare the G2X, still solid and smooth. The myTouch is just slow painful to use. How times have changed.
The other day used G2X on skype and had multiple crashes and phone has become very sluggish at running more than 2 apps. This is on CM7. The display and colors are bright and deep black colors. In my opinion, its a great display.
My main is Nexus 5. Still my favorite phone.
Jumping ship and getting the nexus 5 as soon as I get a job.

- 50% of paint on metal stripe around phone is gone
- the back plastic plate that says "8M" fell off, I superglued it
- microUSB port looks scratched around the perimeter
- slot of the backplate looks uneven from billions of removals
will be 3 years this summer, still refusing to get rid of it. I will use till it vomits in my face.
Nice! Almost 3 years for me also. Don't feel the need to spend hundreds of dollars on a new phone when this does what I need it to do. When it dies is when I get a new one lok

You can always spend $10+ on eBay for backplate and case replacements

naah. I love this feeling - at school, I've always had the crappiest calculator, the cheapest books in terrible condition I can find with human genitals drawn on them, and getting all the scholarships and research grants. I love this way of being. I love how everyone gets their new and shiny nexus and apple, and thinking now they are ready to make some good in their lives. Your belongings have nothing to do with it.

Agreed, belongings have nothing to do with the person you are, but that doesn't mean you should limit yourself to your material belongings when it truly serves no benefit upon doing so. With that said, I f***ing love my brand new Nexus 5 =)
