Hello everyone I thought about posting this in the Nexus section but decided here would be better. I just recently traded my Rezound + $60 for a Galaxy S3 which I feel was a really good deal. The phone came with everything and a really nice case and a ghost armor screen protector.
Today I was messing around on craigslist, and seen a guy offering a great condition Galaxy Nexus(Verizon) and Galaxy Tab 7" 1st gen(Verizon) both with cases and chargers.
My question is would you do the trade with your S3 if you had the opportunity.
Thank you guys for your help in advanced!!
No, not at all. Maybe in a year, but not while his phone is basically unbeatable.

I wouldn't. The tab is too old, and the Nexus really has poor battery compared to the S3.

We have a first generation Galaxy Tab and it's nice, but more or less stuck on Gingerbread. Great for parties or long trips that can keep the kids and/or their friends occupied.
Adding that up with a Galaxy Nexus does not give you a S3, IMHO. Your daily phone would essentially become a Nexus vs the S3 and I've not read of anyone who considers them in the same ballpark in that regard (despite the Nexus' positives).

Thank you guys very much. I think I will stay where I am and grab a nexus 7 for my tablet needs.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
I also have a nexus on my second line and it's a fantastic device, but it totally outclassed in every way by the GS3. I would keep the GS3 and play around with JB on it. I've been using JB on it the past week and rather like it even despite the occasional hiccup.
I have yet to install JB on the Nexus but seeing as it is not my phone, I don't think rooting it is a good idea.

You must go to some pretty lame parties if you need to bring a tab to entertain you...
Lol yeah I actually had a nexus before I got my Rezound and liked it but it had issues with data while in my house. The Rezound and now my S3 do not. Loved the nexus but with getting great battery life with a huge screen is hard to beat lol

That's the only thing I'm concerned about too will the note be too big as a everyday phone? You know what we really need is a s-pen on the skyrocket!! ! That would be sick !!!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
I would, but I cant afford it though the screen size is too big for me since the Skyrocket is a perfect size for me.
Now that I'm on a decent rom and get better battery life, I will stick with the skyrocket for a while.
I've had two Notes over the past couple months. I sold it, and then bought another a few weeks later. I tried my best to keep it as a daily driver, but the bottom line is that it is just too large. The screen and speed are fantastic on it, but it was way too cumbersome to handle as a phone - at least for me.
That's what I keep telling people.
If you want to try it and have not....just go to a local best buy and fondle the I Samsung 5" media player. The note is bigger
They even let us try and put it in out pocket etc

I can't wait for it.. I wish it was the size of a Galaxy tab 10.1
Personally, I think the Note is pointless.
It's too big to put in your pocket (comfortably) and any holster, or pouch, for it would make you look like an uber-geek carrying it on your belt.
I say, if you HAVE to use two hands to dial, the device ceases to be convenient and has no business being a mobile phone.
The SkyRocket is barely useable with one hand as it is.
Why waste money on something like that when you can have a real android tablet, with a bigger display, for not much more?

So not a waste of money. Bigger is better. Who cares if it doesnt fit in the pocket comfortably. I dont. The skyrocket doesn't even fit comfortably in the pocket. And i would have no problem with an uber geek looking pouch.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
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!

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?

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

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

And more people would rather have inferior hardware. Phone is already beastly as it is. Don't know how much more you could possibly want out of a phone performance wise.
An unlocked bootloader and root? Impossible right now on the new firmware. The HOX is a beastly device and Joe public has a lot to be happy about. However its not an ENTHUSIASTS device. AT&T made sure of that.
Hi,
I believe the title says it all. I was pretty sure my next phone will be Google Experience. I really love the community and opportunities with this. I had Sony Xperia for about a month and it was terrible with support. But Nexus 4, apart from being much more expensive when bought from a shop and not from Google (which doesnt sell to Czech Republic), has one thing that I really hate - a battery that cant be easily replaced. Im used to carrying one spare (or more when on a longer trip) on me and I can easily switch them even when staning on a crowded bus. I couldnt do that with N4.
So, do you find this to be such a serious issue I consider it to be? And what other phones would you recommend, please?
Galaxy Nexus. Or hacked Galaxy S3 as a second choice. Maybe an HTC One X with CM10 could be a really sexy phone too.

The Nexus Series has its own reputation and of them all, its Development support. While the Nexus 4 is claimed to be bugged with buzzing sound and no Out-of-the-box OTG, it couldn't be considered better than the Galaxy Nexus. The same being the reason for me to buy Galaxy Nexus too, in a month or two.
I too find Note series a bit big for a smartphone to carry in our pockets. No offense to anyone's opinions
