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

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

Yea, i would wait and see what is coming up next. Since i just upgraded this sunday i have a ways to go before i can upgrade once again.
ahh bummer! but hope you're enjoying the s3, I have no complaints! so don't get me wrong about wanting the note 2
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.
I want bigger too. This used to seem huge but it's normal now.

Hey I had an lg dare too! That phone was a beast at the time. I then went to an Envy touch. Then Droid X then Galaxy Nexus. I am content with the S3 now but I am considering a Nexus 7 for reading.
The S3 is perfect because I have big hands and the iPhone and most other phones are too tiny.

the good ol' enV Touch had a resistive touch screen still loved it back in the day!
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!!

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!

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.

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

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.

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 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.

Not everyone's a one-handed texter. I came from a keyboard flip, so I'm a landscape texter.
Can anyone give me some practical insight into the actual use of a 4.7 inch phone. Looking into Galaxy Nexus or HTC One X. They are both longer than the Infuse but not as wide and thinner I believe. How does they compare in terms of actual feel in the hand? Do they feel huge? Are they pocketable? I mean regular work pants not cargo pants or carpenter jeans. Have big hands but Infuse is a bit unwieldly. So wondering if I might not be better off with a One S. How is the petiole screen coming from an Infuse.
I cannot just go into a store and try these phones for myself as they are unavailable in my country. Have to order online.

I recently picked up an HTC One X to upgrade from my Infuse, and I can say that the difference is barely noticeable. You're talking about a very small size increase when you really think about it. 0.2" bigger on the screen, but more importantly is the size difference of the entire phone. The Infuse is 132x71x9mm, the One X is 134x70x8.9mm. So the size difference is 2mm by 1mm which I assure you, you wouldn't even notice.
Go bigger.. Just not to the 4.8..whatever you do. Imo.

Moving to Q&A
There's been a huge debate in the note forums about this phone and I wanted to give my thoughts in short form. Honestly, the only thing I miss is the screen size. The s3 screen is better. The s3 is snappier, it has a better camera and the form factor to me is better.
ill adjust to the screen, typing has been the biggest problem. I was going to wait on the note 2 but after the conference I was let down how little it was an upgrade. Don't get me wrong, the note is an awesome phone in every way, just giving my 2 cent. I had sold mine and was gonna get a note 2 but being a phone whore I figured I'd get something new!

Ikr i have small hands so this phone is more than big enough. I dont think I'd like it if i didn't have Swype.
I can't imagine the Note 2's 5.5" screen. Basically a bigger s3.
I just like big screens. Was just used to it is all. I remember when I bought the hd2 and thought it was huge!

You're not alone - when I looked at my Droid Incredible (i.e., same screen size as today's iPhones) the week after using my new Galaxy S III, it looked like a toy. But, I previously saw it as entirely fine from a display size perspective.
It still operates like a champ, though I can't see going back to a smaller display for my daily phone except as a temporary backup.
- ooofest
I bought a DroidX the day that phone was released & I remember all my co-workers who use iphones going holy sh!t that thing is huge!!
Now, I watch a ton of videos on my phone & I would buy the Note in a heart beat if there was a Verizon version available.
I use HDMI out to a bigger screen daily, but I don't always have that option.
I have the s2 and I love it but its starting to get slow and bogged down. I have 1 upgrade credit and im wondering is the S3 a good phone to get? Im through ATT....

small screens suck for a smartphone, apple should of went larger on their screens and to mention that we can mod the frack out of our phones.

Keep the SR for now, wait until next quarter when "supposedly" the S IV is supposed to be released. However having both the S2 SR, and the S 3, I love the S 3 immensely over the SR.
xxsicknessxx--do you have an SR now, or the regular S2? If you have the regular S2, moving to the SR isn't worth it. If you already have the SR and are thinking of the S3, I would just wait and upgrade to an S4 when it comes out. In the meantime, root and flash a ROM on your phone. It will give your phone some new life, IMO. :good:
As for the iPhone 5, to each their own, but it would feel like a letdown for me if I were to move to that.
My gf S3 on stock ICS(haven't updated to JB as yet) is a bit laggy, but I have played with my friends S3 with a custom rom and it's definitely worth it. I personally would wait for the next waves of phone releases though. They are definitely worth the wait.

That's why I was suggesting to root and flash a ROM, especially if that ROM is JB. My wife also has a SR, and after putting a ROM in mine (CM10 stable), has no lag, while hers feels sluggish with stock ICS. A wipe/factory reset might help hers a little, but seeing the TW skin and all the carrier bloat turns me off.
Woah woah woah now. I stopped reading anything below the op as soon as gee asked about the iphone 5 lol...... Really op? Why do you have an xda account everyone here is droid nerds
