I can't believe I'm not in a hurry to jump ship to the Galaxy S2. The Cappy has been such a good experience as a phone and it's still able to do whatever I need it to do. When the Fuze came out I couldn't help but be there the first day to pick one up. I was compelled to have the latest and greatest, and the abilities a new smartphone would allow. The same happened the release day of the Captivate.
Sure, it's had its issues (GPS and capped data speeds come to mind) but between the performance of hardware and the constant ROM updates from the dev community, I just don't feel that compulsion to move on from the Captivate. For me it's been a great phone and it's made me a big fan of Samsung's products. Oh I'll get a Galaxy S2 here in a month or two when the price comes down a bit. But I'm still happy with my Captivate and I'll keep it around as a backup.
ditto
i will likely wait until december unless the deal is too good to pass up.
Want to see what develops with the nexus prime.
Some info claims it will be a Verizon Exclusive but i am skeptical. I think that it is more likely we will see it launch exclusively on verizon with a 30-60 window before other carriers get it....so i am not giving up on the prime....the solid metal body construction alone will be worth the wait...just hope ATT gets it.

That is what has my attention as well...Galaxy Note.
I don't feel the need to upgrade from my Captivate either. Its a weird feeling, I use to be such a phone whore, now I look at new phones and feel they can't do a whole lot for me (personally, I know the phones are actually huge upgrades) that my Captivate can't do.
I HATE how ALL of the new phones being announced are so huge! 4.3" isn't TOO bad, but I do prefer my 4" screen. They're just getting bigger too, I want the Nexus Prime so badly, but there's no way I'm getting it with a 4.65" screen. My upgrade isn't until May 2012 and I'm questioning if there will even be a phone out there I like by then.

I'm with you guys. Once the GS II finally came out, I am not as excited. The last ROM I put on is great and until that note comes out, paying 200 for the GS2 isn't so alluring.
Especially with LTE on horizon and the Note, which will be awesome.
It's like an old friend, even knowing something is better out there, I'm not ready to trade in my old worn in shoes

The article says 4.6". It may not be so bad since that probably includes the buttons at the bottom, I'll just have to see it in person, but I still think it will be a very large device.
I'm a captivate owner and I really love it. I will not change it in a while..
The only two things that I don't really like in Captivate are very bad sensitive buttons (well, I replaced screen after it was broken, and than buttons were like that) and very bad battery life, especially with MIUI
But speed and functionality are just grear. And still love the screen with maximum brightness. I think I will buy Galaxy Note or Nexus Prime, will see...
I'm with you guys, but not by choice. I have a contract to fulfil.

I'll also be waiting for the Note.
I just looked up the Galaxy Note. Wow...! That thing looks amazing. It might be just a bit too big but I'm really considering jumping on that.
I'm with you guys. There is no real reason to upgrade just yet. With a good custom ROM (Cog5), it does everything I ask of it, and does it quickly. The screen is just amazing, and only the SAMOLED Plus beats it, if you ask me. Since I'm not on contract, I can switch when I want, but I see nothing out there I just gotta have. The Prime may change that, but if it is CDMA, then I'm out. Big Red is too expensive for my blood.

Great idea for a thread. My Captivate was my first Android phone. When I got it, I immediately started hacking it. Right now it's semi retired. My Galaxy S 2 is now my main phone.

I was in the same scenario.
sold my captivate and got a free iphone 4 from my company. I dont miss the phone bills but i can honestly say the Cappy ****s on the Iphone. ****ing hate this thing
I just used one for a while, I do not like it. It is too large.
If the Nexus S4G had the internals of the Galaxy Nexus I would keep it forever. It looks like I will be keeping it for a while longer, I don't really see any other viable options at this point.
Discuss.
I actually like it. I have big hands so it feels good to me.

Well you'll be waiting a longtime for that amazing phone with a smaller screen than what's been coming out. In case you are blind to trends, every new top of the line phone that's been coming out for the last few years, the screen size gets bigger and bigger. But don't worry, you'll fit in with the rest of the grandparents who don't stay up with the times lol. btw when I say "you" its just generally speaking for all the other people who are waiting for the next bad ass phone with a tiny screen.
Sent from my Nexus S 4g using xda premium
I have tiny hands (only 5'6") and while I agree the SGN is large it isn't unmanageable. That coupled with just how awesome this device is I would urge people not to pass it up as being too large without trying it in store first. It really is an epic device
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I had the Evo, and I thought that was even too large. For me, 4" is the sweet spot for phones.
I'm well aware of recent trends, just stating personal preference.

Nothing wrong with personal preference lol. I'm fond of our current screen size too but I'm up for change unlike a lot of people here who refuse or totally **** talk a phone because of the screen size and ***** how its garbage and going to wait for the next best phone (which will just be bigger than the last lol) I think the current phones out now will be the standard size for screens 4in to 5.x in. Any larger than 6in is just not that practical.
Sent from my Nexus S 4g using xda premium
Why, hell yeah I do. Sure it's ****huge, but I can deal with it. If I had the money, I would've bought it instantly, so I'm just gonna get the next phone once it is out.
But with that said, it's completely understandable if it's too big for most people.
But now that we run ICS, I'm still completely satisfied with this Nexus S.
I tend to agree. In my opinion the form factor of the nexus s is close to perfect. If the galaxy nexus was exactly the same bit instead with a 4 in screen it would be absolutely perfect.
tapa tapa tapa
+1 to what mrhaxx1 said. ICS works very well on my Nexus S. Realistically, I can't justify forking out another $600 or more for a Galaxy Nexus right now, so the NS will do me for the foreseeable future.
As for the size of the Galaxy Nexus, although there is a sizeable minority that agrees with the OP that it's too big, for most people the added screen real estate and resolution compensate for the inconvenience when using it one-handed. I'd love a GN if I could afford one, the size wouldn't bother me although I don't have very large hands.
Whilst it's nice and powerful, I've used one for a bit in a shop and I must say I wasn't really that impressed. Maybe it was a faulty model but it was pretty laggy, and I was shocked at how dull and muddy the screen was. Nice res so it's pretty sharp, but I found that my TFT Blade was actually brighter than the Galaxy on full brightness, never mind my S-LCD Nexus S...
I have a tablet, so I typically use that for my more Internet-intensive activities. My issue isn't with how it feels in my hand, but how it feels in my pocket. The Nexus S is perfect for what I typically use my phone for, which is checking scores, phone calls, and SMS.
I have an epic touch and I like it alot. But I love a galaxy nexus. Like more than any phone ever made kind of love. Like I might move everybody to Verizon and pay 1000 dollars kind of love.

I like Galaxy Nexus very much but it's too expensive.
So my solution is Nexus S + ICS 4.0.3
I think it's too big but i will buy it if it comes to Sprint.
Has anyone who has actually seen and used the phone noticed that even with the elongated screen and on-screen soft keys, that there is still enough room below the screen for Nexus-S type soft keys?

I love that phone. I can't wait for sprint to get it. Alot of people are mad at things with the phone. At the end of the day I dont think Google wants it to he a nexus vs iPhone battle. Its Android as a whole. That's why I think the camera isnt a big deal. Remember the nexus are developers phones. I don't feel they are for doing battle with iPhone. While the camera lacks a bit its a easy trade for knowing we will get updates fast.

Really, this isn't a solid argument for the Galaxy Nexus over the iPhone.
Haven't played with one, but after reading some reviews, I'm disappointed in the camera. Indoor pictures aren't that great and while most phones are using 8mp, GN is still stuck at 5mp, why is that?
So far ICS is working fine on the NS4G and who knows when Sprint will get it. So, I may just wait til the next Nexus to come out (hopefully it'll come out exclusively to Sprint first, longshot though).

Mega pixel have nothing to do with a cameras performance. The epic has a 5mp camera and the HTC evo has an 8 and the pics looked and came out so much better on the epic. Its all in the optics used for the camera.

So bought my Skyrocket back in october the first day it was released, dont get me wrong, i love the phone, but I recently moved on. 2 weeks ago I bought a galaxy note after trying a friends for awhile and grew to love the size. After using my note for 2 weeks I cant see having a use for my old skyrocket, especially since holding it in my hand makes it feel small. I cant imagine going back to anything smaller which sucks, but I love it for the time being. Anyways I got off work today and met up with someone on craigslist who bought my skyrocket, so I just wanted to say thank you everyone for al the help, glad you guys finally got ICS, and hope that us note users get it soon too.
Good bye, you lucky bastard.

This was almost me. My friend got one. I fell in love with it and bought one too. Two weeks later I tried the ICS leak and realized how much I missed my Skyrocket, so I switched back.
Samsung Skyrocket i727 - ICS Leaked - XDA Premium
Skyrocket feels small? Really? Been two months and it still feels like I'm holding a surfboard. Hopefully I'll get used to it.
Enjoy the Note.
I actually went from the SR to the note and came back to the SR. I found the size made things like taking pictures, docking, finding a decent case, and even privacy with people being more able to see my screen too much. Traded it for a SR, ipod touch, camera, and some wii games for my kid.
Bedt decision I made.
Hopefully you like it and don't end up regretting it like I did! Good luck!

You would be surprised how many times I get asked "does it look or feel weird making calls on it?". I simply put it up yo my face and always here either "oh that's not too bad" or "that's actually pretty good".

Been there. I just couldn't handle the two-handed operation and risk dropping it when I tried using it one-handed. The case I bought did enhance the grip but it didn't make enough of a difference. Plus it was heavier, some apps didn't line up correctly with that resolution and the lag was noticeable even after I swapped kernels.
That said, if my wife still complains about her iphone and the new SR HD or SGS3 isn't out yet, I may need to repurchase a Note and pass my SR to her. Purely out of necessity though.
The note is a nice piece of hardware, but like others have said. It's a bit too big. I think the 4.5" to 4.65" range is as big as a smartphone should be.
I'm 6 foot 1 and have big hands and I find it sometimes hard to use my SR with one hand. I can't even imagine a 5.3" screen.
Its funny you mention it being laggier, for some reason my stock SR did 1800-2200 quadrant, then 2800-3100 with faux kernal. My note constantly hits 3100 stock. I know others have complained about lag issues, but guess I'm one of the lucky ones. Waiting for a ICS leak before i root it

I came to the SR from a dell streak - the size got old for me. Wanted a phone i could easily text one handed with and fit a little better in my pockets With a tablet, no need for me. But the note looks like the great best of both worlds device. After a 5 inch device, yes - the skyrocket even seems 'small'

I posted my SR on kijiji looking for a trade with Note... figured someone would be dissatisfied with the big screen... but I love it and want it lol
I do have to question your particular choice of timing, haha. It's a fun time to have a Skyrocket.
But the Note's a great (big) phone so congrats. I felt like it was too big when I played with it, but I bet if I had it for a week I'd get pretty used to the size and spoiled by that big screen. And my DrawSomething compositions would be epic.

Ok well the migration time is coming, not an upgrade just a move on... I'm thinking between the HTC One-X and the Samsung Galaxy Note... I'm kind of stuck between the two because I do want a bigger phone than my infuse (I have bad eyes and have glaucoma so a bigger screen is a definite plus). Even though it is a plus its not all I'm looking for. I am looking for screen, specs, build (solidity of the device), company reputation the whole shabang I'm leaning towards the HTC one-x but then again the note is quite tempting so any advice will help, and thanks again XDA for everything.

I moved to Verizon and got a Galaxy Nexus a couple months ago and while it was by NO means a downgrade, I did notice the slightly smaller screen size compared to my Infuse. However, IMO the Note is a really big phone, if you use your phone one-handed a lot you might enjoy a smaller phone like the One X, the specs for the international version are amazing. Others who moved to the Note might have a completely different outlook, that's just my 2 cents...
I have a tablet also so I want a phone that is a reasonable size; when I want a bigger screen I move to my tablet lol.

Yea I understand where you're coming from lol the note is huge, I played with one in best buy and put my infuse up to it and just walked away without saying a word lol. Its a giant phone, a little too big for me because with my infuse I can type comfortably with one hand and with both if in a more leisure like environment, but I tried the note and it was far too much a stretch for me, I have never gotten my hand on a galaxy note though, all I know is what I've heard about it with battery life and what not, that steered me away from it and Verizon. So I may go with the One-X because of the specs and slightly larger screen over this infuse

Agreed the Note is great if you don't mind holding it with both hands lol
The GNex definitely does not have the best battery life stock, I ranged 10-12 hours on a charge, but I got if for the Nexus experience/development and LTE so I can't complain. I got the flush fitting extended batt and flashed the CM9 nightlies and I can easily get >= a day on a charge.

i feel the same way, i started with the LG Dare(dont laugh), then i upgraded to the iphone4 and now i went with the S3. I think my next phone will be one with top of the line specs and a bigger screen. So it seems the Note if it continues to be up there will be my next. :laugh:
Agreed! I'm tempted to find SOME way to get the Note 2..whether that's selling my s3 or whatever. But with CES coming up, I gotta see what is coming

At first I thought this was large. Now I am so used to the 4.8" and could not ever see myself going back.
I think it's the perfect fit. Plenty of screen space, and just the right size to reach all 4 corners of the device with one hand.

Definitely excited about the S4, especially if it has the 5in edge-to-edge display you are talking about
Prior to getting the S3, I had looked at the Note2 and the only downfall that I saw was that it was only 2 inches smaller than my galaxy tab 2. Felt very large when talking on it. Then again, I could have just gotten a bluetooth for calls. I think the S3 is a perfect size for what I need it for.

It's one thing for the iPhone to be bigger finally, but with the screen not getting any WIDER, it still just feels tiny. One advantage of android's selection of phones; there's one size for everyone!!

So I started with an enV Touch..upgraded to droid x2; the 4.3 inch screen felt huge!! Especially compared to my friends' iPhones. Then I upgraded to the Galaxy S3, and once again, the screen felt huge, in a good way!
Does anyone else want to go bigger once again or am I the only one?! That is one MAJOR appeal the Note 2 has on me. Thought others might suffer from this want to always go a little bigger

My progression was a bit different, it went like this:
iPhone ATT
iPhone 3G ATT
iPhone 3GS ATT
iPhone 4 ATT
iPhone 4S VZW traded after a month or so for a
Galaxy Nexus VZW
Galaxy S3 VZW
I finally got sick of Apple not adding features that were now common place in the Android community such as a larger screen, the Nexus was an outstanding phone but I wanted larger screen with better battery life and better signal reception so I jumped to the only bigger screen available at the time, the S3, had I stuck it out with ATT I would have had the OG Note, I wanted so badly for it to come to VZW but it didn't, now that the Note 2 is on VZW I will be moving to that by the end of January!

Will definitely be considering the S4 if its announced. I will probably draw the line on size at the S4.
