Galaxy Note...Are you switching?

Just curious how many of us out there are going to move on to the galaxy note. 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?

Hmm... I'll make the decision once ICS comes out for our phone and compare.

Depends on Dev Support there!!!! And obviously my Bank account!!!!!!!!!

I'll be jumping ship. I wish i knew how much it'll be off contract. I want to sell my skyrocket and pay the difference out of pocket? What's a good price to sell a skyrocket ? I was thinking 350.... ????

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

Well then.... ****.
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

[Q] Phone to replace my NS i9023

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.

Galaxy Nexus would be the best, no doubts. Don't go for N4, it doesn't seems to go good so far. A few bugs have already been discovered.

Isnt it a bit ... big ... ?

If u wanna stay nexus, go galaxy nexus, the prices should even be lower due to the n4 being out
Sent from my awesome Nexus S

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

Sadly, no because the new flagship doesn't even intend to stand near the Galaxy Nexus. But the price is fine enough for such an amazing device. :highfive:

I think Note 2 is the best choice!

I would go for the Galaxy Nexus. :good:

Galaxy Nexus is €295, Nexus 4 is €458, its more than €150 difference. And the inability to change battery with N4 is bad too. Looks to me that I will go for Galaxy Nexus.
BTW should we even talk together? Your country keeps our citizens arrested for espionage!

Keep in mind that the galaxy nexus has poor battery life.
We hold your devs hostages! Pay the ransom so we can solve our financial problems!

Thoughts on choice of phone

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?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

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?

thinking of returning 4 n7

I got a note 8 last Monday I'm thinking of returning it to get a nexus 7
What do you guys think.
would you guys .

No, got mine yesterday and love it. But I'm also doing graphic design so the pen is awesome.

I came from a N7 to this. Love this. The N7 is OK but this one in terms of speed blows it out of the water. That and the fact there are a lot more accessories for this (in my country at least) make it a no brainer. The only downside is my wife loves it more than the N7 as well and has already installed her games so it looks like I wont have it when I am at home

I prefer the Note 8 over the N7, so for me the choice is clear. I like the pen, speed, and screen size of the Note.
A new N7 with a 7.7 inch screen is supposed to be released soon though. If you are thinking of returning your Note I would suggest you look at the upcoming nexus, not the old one. Of course this all depends on your needs so you be the judge.

I too came from a nexus 7. The Note 8 is way better. Speed, memory card slot, screen clarity, screen size, pen, etc. Bear in mind that the on screen buttons on the nexus make the screen seem even smaller. Then the difference in size between a 5 inch phone (gaLaxy s4) and a 6.x inch nexus seems pointless.
The 8 inch screen on the Note is awesome.

The only advantage the N7 has over this thing is price. So unless that couple of hundred makes a difference between you being homeless or having a roof over your head, the GR8 is the better choice.

My wife has the N7 and it is a very nice tablet running stock android which I definitely prefer. We both have S3 phones. Wifes phone is stock, I'm rooted running cm based roms. If I could mesh the two tablets and get cm on the GN8 like my phone with all the functionality that Samsung has baked into touchwiz I would be in heaven. That being said the GN8 is still better than the N7 in all other aspects even running touchwiz.

I had an N7 for a few months but gifted it away. I never stopped missing it. For me, it was the perfect size (for home, not for work). I find the Note 8 just a tiny bit too big and heavy. But I need it for taking notes. The s pen and a slightly larger screen is a must for me at work, so the Note 8 is my preferred device. For now. If the next nexus 7 is released with a shell that is no bigger and no heavier than the old N7, but with the promised higher than retina ppi, I will buy it. I really like the iPad 3 for the high ppi screen, but wanted something smaller and just slightly higher ppi for reading and a less boring OS. And the next N7 is rumored to be just that. At half the cost of the Note 8, I think it is a much better buy for people who don't need the s pen. But if you need to take notes, the N7 is just too small.

I'd consider trying the N7 out for a bit. GN8 has it beat it every way.

Both are good. However, i prefer Note 8 more than Nexus 7 as it has high speed and larger screen. Still, it depends on you, which is more comfortable for you.

Hi,
Its depend in you personally .
but to reach the right choice , you should think of :
- what you DID NOT like in Note8 !!
- what did you miss off Nexus7 , that no more available in Note8 !!
Personally , I had Nexus7 , and now I got Note8 .... I like & enjoy Note8 .. It give me more

So when the new nexus 7 came out, I got it. But returned it and went back to the note 8. The extra inch is what made the difference for me

I hear the nexus 7 has a whole slew of issues with multitouch and after having owned a Transforer Prime, I'm weary of buying another tablet manufactured by Asus.

There's a real price difference between the two devices. I say $150 is not worth it for the average consumer. I like reading often so the annotation capabilities are really a plus for me.

It's $329 at staples and you're not limited to memory because of no SD card on nexus 7. It then becomes $70 difference for better quality, s-pen, extra inch, and Haptic feedback

I loved the old N7, but the N8 is a superior device. I was tempted to pick up the new N7, but just can't justify it. I still think the N8 is a better device.

Also curious to see what the nexus 5 will bring.

Right now; my wife & I both want a Note 3

I am extremely intrigued by the recent Nexus 5 rumors. A 5" display in a phone smaller than the Nexus 4? I would love that. 2300mah battery is a bummer though...

I thought the s4 was getting close to the limit of screen/bezel ratio but I guess not. Very intrigued indeed.

Right?? If it comes with at least 32gb of storage and costs $300-$350, I'll almost certainly be getting one.

Well 2 different purposes IMO, but I'll give it a try......
S4 is 1080 p - Note 2 is 720 p
No S-pen obviously for the S4, but with the AIR gestures, you still can hover with your finger to preview things and it has eye detector features such as Smart Stay/Pause/Scroll which I believe are not on Note 2.
Battery life is better on the Note 2, as it has a bigger battery than the S4
That's as far as I know about those 2 beasts
Edit : I just remembered this video ... that Tony Stark guy made a good comparison :
