Uh, you have to be more specific. What do you want to do with the tablet? Are you an Apple person, or an Android person? 7'? 8.9"? 10"?

you can try the galaxy note tablet

I'm looking for an android tablet. Either a 7" or 10". I was looking between the galaxy tabs 2 both in 7" and 10". Kinda read mixed reviews.

I would YouTube galaxy2 tab vs galaxy note and use spec difference. My personal opinion the note would be my choice because galaxy tab can be hassle with fc even in basic stock. But you gotta find the difference there
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

I have a tab 2 10.1. It hasn't had any fc or problems. It also doesn't have very much dev support. It runs well for me, it's rooted, and I use it for watching movies and surfing the web.
Look into the note tablet and the nexus 7. Those are better tablets as far as specs go. They probably also have more dev support. Up to you though, the tab 2 works just fine for me.

I'm in Canada, so not much. It's actually $10 more than the Google Store, but I didn't want to wait any longer...

Just got myself a nexus 7. Can't give a review or anything as I haven't even unboxed it yet. Personally, I wanted the nexus 10 but its just not in my budget right now. Little brother has an account through newegg so settled for that. Same price as it is through the play store too.

I've had a nexus 7 for a few months now. I love it. The constant android os updates are a huge plus for me. There's pretty good dev support, too. For the price, I'm shocked at how much I like it.
There are a few bugs with the screen. Some users report a horizontal line of burnt pixels developing, and other users report blurry edges. My nexus 7 developed the horizontal line last week. I made a three minute phone call and a new nexus 7 arrived two days later. Not bad at all. I've read the screen issues have been fixed as of now.
Oh, it's also easy as heck to root and maintain. Rooting took me less than 10 minutes from start to finish.
Edit:
It depends if u really want a similar experience as the skyrocket. I imagine the Samsung tablets may be a good pick. I found the uber clean stock Android 4.2 system on the N7 was simple enough for me to bounce and forth between the skyrocket and not go bald or blind from stress.

[POLL] Who's gotten their free tectiles and flip cover?

So I was just wondering who got their free cover and tectiles. On the note 2 forum there are pictures of people getting it already, so I was wondering if any of you guys got one yet. I still haven't gotten mine.

I haven't

Got mine yesterday fri 25th
Hey just wanted to mention mine did finally come in yesterday for my S3. Pretty cool promotion honestly. I got 6 tectiles(a 5 pack plus one loose sample stuck to a postcard thing, that launched the playstore to download the official app for the textiles. I was pleasantly surprised that the sample one could be reprogrammed, and I could use "NFC Task Launcher" as opposed to the official app.

Nice! Mind sharing what state? Im in california and still haven't gotten it. Hopefully it comes sometime soon.

I got mine in today, in a nice shiny padded reflective envelope. I wanted the blue flip cover but they were out and got the orange instead.

Still waiting on mine as well. I don't mind though because it was completely free :laugh:

Every time somebody writes tectiles for some reason i read testicles..... I am sick and tired of confusion....lol

Got mine today in North Georgia.

Wanting to switch my galaxy nexus for a note 2

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

Yes. Use either ExynosAbuse or CF Autoroot.
Exynos Abuse is about as simple as you can get

I switched from the Nexus to the Note 2 about 3 weeks ago and I have to say I loving it. I liked the Nexus, but the Note 2 is better in every way. Love the screen, awesome battery life, easy to root and unlock, pretty good development. I can't think of a negative right now.

Ya sometimes I wonder if there are just so many different things that you can do with the note 2 I wouldn't know what to do with it Haha. But yes, a big battery and an SD card is a plus for me. I'm a very heavy user on my device and it would be nice to have one last me all day without a charge.

Yes, multi-window, smart stay, S beam are all available on the S IV. Very unnecessary thread though.

then have a mod delete it...I was just happy to see the thing in person

I think the thread is necessary. It's nice to see the actual phone up and ready for a carrier. Means we're that much closer to it being released.
So thanks!

Why couldn't it be the international, Sprint, or T-Mobile variant? Just because it isn't Verizon-branded doesn't mean it's AT&T's. I mean, I hope it is, but I really doubt it.

this is a picture I took...the connection to wifi is because ATT phones automatically connect to ATT hotspots so u can't see the 4G logo to verify...this was at an ATT store in Durham, NC where I'm at for training on the new BB Z10

I hope that means that the ridiculous logo that pops up letting u know ur using an ATT hotspot is gone...or maybe this isn't the retail version. we didnt get to touch the phone, he simply displayed it for customers and of course he kept his mouth shut about release dates...

I sold my Note 3 to pay for the M8, yes. Had the Note 2 before that, too.

I left it for the M8. No regrets, the note was just too big.

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
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

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
