So I have the s3 and I love it. I also have the opportunity to get the note 2 for $100 but would have to give up my s3 for it. I'm thinking of getting the note 2 until the s4 comes out, then selling the note 2 and buying the s4. Any thoughts from the great xda family?

If you're fine with the giant screen, go for it. The Note 2 is better in every other way. Also, it will have the higher value when selling it. Even though I love my S3 and couldn't deal with that giant screen, I say do it.

Do the swap then sell the note 2, buy the LG Nexus 4
If the note 2 works fine, I would trade for it, give it a try, and see if I like it. If you don't like it, you can definitely sell it for way more than your s3 and make a profit, then get another s3. Or just keep it til the s4 comes out, either way you'll get more money than your s3 for sure.

I'm not crazy about the note 2 just because its so big, but I like the idea of making some money on it and getting the s4 when its out.
What's particularly special about the nexus 4 and would it be better then the s4?

I have the Note 1 smartphone and love it. I also like me iPad, but am thinking I might like the galaxy note 10.1 better. Am thinking of putting my iPad on eBay and buying this tablet. Any words of advice?

The ipad 2 is old news.. its time for an upgrade. treat yourself to the note 10.1 ... if u like your note than u gonna love the 10.1,,
Here are a few reasons why..
-true multitasking,
-bigger screen,
-more power,
-more ram,
-bigger battery
-the best android tablet on the market right now
the Note 10.1 has many other feature too but u will have to get it to found out..
depends what you want to do
disclaimer: my house has the ipad 2, 3 and 4 plus two SGS Note 10.1s. 3 of the 4 adults in the house are apple fanboys and the other is android (me). The older kids (11 and 9) just asked for the notes for christmas and now prefer them over the ipad whereas the younger kids (6 and 4) have only used the ipads. The things the older kids like about the Note is drawing, the multiple windows and so many more free apps. :end of disclaimer
IMO- they are all great devices depending on what you want to accomplish. For me, the Notes are much more productive and versital like a laptop (allowing you to have multiple windows open at the same time, Polaris office, etc.). I hate how itunes controls a lot for apple but I haven't used it for 4 or 5 years and it was a lot more buggy back then on my windows laptop (prob better on a mac). Recently I have used the ipad on trips and sometimes at home. Other than not being able to view flash, the ipads worked great. If you are into drawing/graphics and writing by hand then the Notes blows the ipad out of the water. If you are only going to watch movies then the display on the recent Ipads is better (although I like the speakers on the Note better and the lower resolution doesn't bother me that much). The ipads are a hair smoother and maybe more consistent but I never noticed it that much. Anyway, you need to decide what you want to do with it and the answer should be clear.
It's great to have an iPad and a Note 10.1
I use both as they both have useful feature that the other doesn't. I do muchly prefer the Note but the iPad is useful for a select few things the Note can't do.

I would hold on to the Ipad 2 if you can afford note 10.1 buy one from best buy. In the 29th day from purchase date decide if you want to keep the note 10.1 or return it because BB has a 30 days return (no restocking fee) "here in Los Angeles".
My experience with the Note 10.1 is really great. I use it mainly to play games and snapshots/jot down notes on the image/use it for shopping. Also I haven't used my Moto Atrix 2 other than to make a phone call, mainly because the tablet is more convenient to use rather than my android phone. I'm actually thinking of downgrading phone or getting those good camera phone like nokia 808 to replace my atrix 2 and remove my data plan.
Hope you make a good decision ^_^v

Uhhm the one thing I know of is run "Speak for Yourself".
As for the original poster.
When Steve Jobs said "Who wants a stylus?", I said: "ME".
I wouldn't think of using a tablet until the Note came out, ( well OK the Thinkpad Tablet, but that was a bust )
because 80% of what I want to do on a tablet require a good pen.
I would say that if there are a lot of things you want to do that require a pen, think about getting the Note.
It is after all the premier feature and if you don't need it then even switching from Apple to Android you could find a better tablet.
Then I would consider the applications you use on the IPad, are there good enough equivalents If not can you live without them. If you can then seriously think about getting a note.
I made the switch and found the note to be much better for reading PDFs, drawing notes, etc. However, the ipad is far far better for Web surfing, since it seems to render Web pages better and faster.

Multi Window feature is awesome. JB has also made using my Note more enjoyable as well.
I officially sold the iPad and am now very happy with the Note. I will say that web browsing is smoother on the iPad, but overall experience is better on the Note. This thing really is cool, especially after flashing a stock based custom rom.

If I don't mind having LTE or not and a non-removable battery. Should I sell my S3 and buy a Nexus 4? My only concern is Speed and can't take pictures at night .

r u kidding off course go for nexus4
are you guys sure that N4 is faster ?
Just get a dslr because s3 to nexus 4 is just aint worth it
The upgrade isn't worth it the s3 has great devoloment and its a great device

It is more of a price diffrence. When you buy a Nexus 4 (unlocked I might add) you are getting more for less.
I think both phones are awesome.
What I dont like about the S3:
AEOLED is too young. It burns out, and the pixels actually die out (happened to my S2).
Too expensive.
Way too big.
What I dont like about the Nexus 4:
No SD expansion (but everything is becoming cloud based anyways, which means CW Recovery must be a pain).
Poly-whatever battery (can't remember the name). Just like AEOLED, the technology is still young. The battery is dangerous, and also loses charge capacity rather quickly.
I prefer the N4 over the S3. With a little salt as well.
These are my observations. Please click thanks if you found this useful at all.
I switched from a s3 to a nexus 4 and i love it!. I will probably only buy nexus devices from now on! I love the clean look of having no physical/capacitive buttons on the front! :victory:

Hah from now on pretty much any phone I own will end up on PA. Anyway, to bring the thread back on topic I don't think it's worth it if you have to pay anything, but if it's free then I personally would do it.
Save your money for the S4. That is my plan, though i have been stuck on a Bionic for almost 2 years...
save our money for S4
Nexus 4 is a good choice
If you aren't losing money, then the Nexus 4 would be a good alternative. I, personally, would rather have a Nexus 4, but Verizon botched having the Galaxy Nexus, so that won't be happening.

I dont know how about your country, but in Ukraine it's very expencive, so better save your money if S3 suits you
Its been 2 years since I had my nexus. It was a great device and didnt really feel dated to me until this year. I already have my iPhone 5, so I guessim going to use this upgrade for a galaxy note 2. But my question is, what do you think would be the best successor to this device? I'm not sure if I'll even hack at this point anymore because my house now has WiFi and using my cell as a hotspot was main point.

i guess the N4 comments are from people that didn't read he has SPRINT!!! Note2 seems to be the popular one of course... send me a PM, when you're ready to upgrade... i might have a hookup for ya
Got nexus4, note 2 , galaxy tab 2 7.0, 10.0 and note 10.1, tf300t , nexus 7 and GS 2.
I say go with note 2, small enough to fit into or pocket, not bulky to play games on it, closer to handheld console than large tabs, not too small. I love the spen.
Bottom line. If I could take only one device. Note 2 would let do all that I would wanna do in both phones and tablets.

Sold mine on Swappa. Got less than what I wanted, but it's all good. I definitely got my money's worth out of my Note 3. There just wasn't anything too remarkably different from the Note 2 and Note 3. I like trying different phones. I swap between this and my Moto X. I should be good now until I get the new X coming out later in the year, now. I am taking a break from Samsung products
Man I would love to get rid of my note 3 for the m8... just can't afford it.

I got the M8 off contract for $600 and sold my Note 3 for about $150 less than that. So for the 6 months I used the Note 3, i definitely got my money's worth (I bought the Note 3 on contract pricing).
Same here, I went gs3 to note 2 to sg4 to note 3 now to m8...couldn't be happier. I wanted to use the s pen more, just didn't find it was all that functional. Really love the idea of it, but I rarely took notes with it and other than that, really just kept it in the phone.
I'm thinking of making a mass thread called "what phone did you come from and how does it compare?". I just love conversations like this on xda XD

Yeah I came from the note 3 and I still have it until I decide which I like better. Part of me misses the size as it's hard to get used to smaller size. I'm having issues typing but I'm sure that will get easier. I will say this phone feels so much nicer in the hand. Anybody tried that light bright case yet?
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk
I have the "light brite" case. It's actually really nice.I'm used to using the sview case but I like this case much better just for the different look it has. The flap is a little annoying but I figure it will get worn in and be a little better awhile
