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
It just hit me today, that I want to get a Note 2. Im wanting a bigger device and for awhile I've been wanting the DNA and also am waiting what the M7 has to offer. But i know that will only be a 4.7 in screen. I still don't know 100% yet. But the Note 2 looks sweet and I've heard great things about it. So anyone that had the galaxy nexus that made the switch happy with their choice? Its hard to leave a device that gets updates quite often but I can always root the note so just curious what people here think

I'm liking alot of the features - but many seem software side and I'm sure the devs would be able to port it over pretty easy....
theyll be a s4 rom for s3 most likely.

Only complaint i have cosmetically is those ugly black dots at the top of the phone minus the front camera. The two on the s3 don't bother me but more? I know there censors or something but I think they could have done a better job and making them not so visible. Just my 2 cents. I'll still upgrade, cause I've gotta have the latest and greatest!

S4 is not worth the upradeI would like to see if I can put the battery in the s3 though
Will get it asap I skipped the s3 glad I waited for a better resolution screen and new features.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
Although it seems like a great device, I don't see that "wow" factor over the s3. I have like 5 upgrades that I could use and it still doesn't seem worth it. The software will eventually make its way over here. My hardware never seems underpowered and my battery life is great so my real world upgrade would be for a nicer screen.
What are your thoughts? I didn't like the broadway presentation much lol but the phone itself looks impressive

Definitely agree, I believe us GS3 users are not as impressed as others. The gs3 set the bar so high, it's kinda hard to notch that with the s4. The obvious hardware upgrade is nice which I still don't believe android is ready for quad core, octa-core processors and again we might the least powerful one. All the camera stuff if you don't voice chat, then all that doesn't matter. Also the air wave is kinda overrated bet most of us won't use it,cool idea though. Might be stuck to stock browser too and for some reason I have never used it on this phone or previous one.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Not going to make me switch. I am actually more impressed with the HTC One due to the build quality.
I love my s3, but IMO most these features they have are gimmicky and I would hardly use majority of them. I will say the camera looks good, but also have been impressed with the Ones camera.
Honestly Id rather have a Note 2 over this.
I am sure it will sell well though.
Sent from a galaxy far away!
I'm not as excited about the S4 as I was about the S3. But that doesn't mean I won't get it! This phone will be too dope to pass up... Once I get that sexy beast in the palm of my hand, there's gonna be no going back. (that's what she said) Does anyone else think it's slightly weak that Samsung releases the S4 so soon after the S3? Obviously they know people like me will buy it anyways, but still.... Who wants to take a guess at off contract pricing for the Samsung Galaxy S4? Over $700.00? My guess is the $650.00 range.

The SIV looks just like the S3, that's the only downfall!
Other than that, yes.
I'll be getting the 64GB Version w/ a 64GB SD Card.
Don't get me wrong, its going to be a great phone for anyone who is not using the s3...
I just feel the "upgrades" are nothing plausible compare to the concept of s3...i mean i do not use all of the motions of s3...few additional ones are not going to change that because well...I wont' be using them. I do not voice chat so all the pretty camera things are cool.
Do I want it? yes...will I cough up another 200 bucks? Heck no! hell it wont be 200 considering t-mobile will probably sell it at what? 350? 400?
Its not plausable to the point I will drop my s3 and run after it...s3 set the bar too high for even samsung. This is like Iphone 4 and Iphone 4s...the s4 being the 4s...expect the gs3 blows the iphone out of the water so we wont even get on to s4.
Perhaps if the s5 comes around, we will talk
For me, I don't even like the Samsung software anyway, so all I pay attention to is the specs. Which means for me its just another notch up in the seemingly never-ending screen size growth of android phones; and some modest hardware upgrades.
I will say that the processor, new sensors (temperature, humidity & some others) and camera sounds pretty awesome, but nowhere near anything good enough for me to switch.
And Samsung with all its gimmicky software features is nothing in my eyes worth looking at trying out TouchJizz...
I won't be switching any time soon. Especially since I just upgraded on January 27. And it was a tough decision between this and the Note 2. Went with the S3 cause I got it for $99.99 at Target.
Sent from my wickedly awesome Galaxy S3 using my fingers. Duh!!!
I might be tempted to switch if they got rid of the soft buttons on the bottom of the phone. I'm constantly having to be wary of them and still managing to hit them and mess up what I was working on despite being careful...

^^ Likely due to all the bickering and digressions...
Understand the frustration cause there are no updates at all. That's just the nature of rooting I guess.
When the 4s was being jailbroken at least we would get periodic updates via Twitter.
Have no doubt the s5 will be rooted though. The devs here are extremely talented. And rooting gets done way quicker than jailbrakes so it's relatively a short time if you look at it that way.
My 2 cents.
Paid 2 bounties for the HTC one and I will pay this one too.

I've had little issue adjusting to no root with the S5 and am quite happy with the purchase.

I too, bit the bullet, and bought an M8. Which, except for the camera, I'm loving. Still keeping an eye out here, in hopes that the S5 finally gets cracked, but for now I can feed my flashing addiction, and cured my jones for a new phone.

I'm back LOL. I traded in the Note 3 last week for another S5 and I'm here to stay this time. Root will come sooner or later. The good side of not having root is the phone must be pretty secure. No one has to worry about Kingo or Vroot stealing info or spying. I agree, the camera is great on this phone. I was having a tough time taking good pictures of my black dog with the N3 but they come out nice with the S5.
