Giving it to me right? Just kidding. Don't get the One because it's worse than your note 3. I would say the Nexus 5 is a good choice because there's a ton of third part development. I have no clue what the Secret Note is so unless you have a really good idea on what it is don't buy it. As for the G Pro 2, you could get it, but you might as well keep your note if you're looking into that

Eh... its all white back. What's the point? The whole idea was all black. Is this a dumb way to try to imitate that other company phone?

Welcome and enjoy!!
Man, that white battery cover is sexy as hell. I so want it and can't seem to find it anywhere online.

I also got the white one for AT&T.
One thing you'll learn quickly is that with the official radio on the i9020a, the data speeds are capped in the ROM. You should probably read this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884
You will need to unlock the bootloader and root the device in order to apply the fix but after that you will love the speeds you can get on your NS.
What radios are working well for you all? I haven't had a chance to read up on them yet.

I've got the white one on ATT as well...
i have it and love it! Although, I am considering getting the Galaxy S2 unlocked

From what i've read so far, the KB3 radio is the best for the AT&T version (i9020a)
One month later.
Do you guys regret paying full price now that the nexus s is officially on at&t. I did for a minute but then I was reminded that it have the white one so I don't regret.

I backed it on kickstarter awhile ago. I'm getting a dock and a carry case with my gamestick as well
I can't wait to see what color will be voted in, I may just get black though.
Hopefully once the actual console has been distributed to the devs there will be a forum here specifically for it.

If you're interested in it, I believe they are setting up their site to allow you to pre-order one. You might get it later than the 'backers' but it's a start.
So guys, how many of you getting this !!

If given a choice, which would you take. HOX+ or GN2

[SIZE=+2]So you're given the choice of the AT&T HOX+ or the AT&T Galaxy Note II.[/SIZE]​
Which do you choose and why?

The second one is the galaxy note 1 not the 2. I would choose the gnote 2 because samsung is actually providing support to their phones. The htc sensation still might not get Jb, and the gs2 will

Why? I would take the note, you know how i feel about the build quality of htc, superb. But the support and locked bootloader of htc makes me want to choose Samsung.

Well I'm a big fan of Samsung 2 but would only purchase a unlocked. :laugh:
Note 2. The software included in it is awesome. The multi-window feature is very good .
Definitely note 2, because I'd already bought it 4 days ago, lol! and now already rooted and using custom rom from Alliance team, and the experiences are overwhelming
besides, Htc cannot use external sd card, CMIIW
cheers

Yaaay

Got mine this morning on Three UK. Not sure it it's branded yet.
I don't want to open it, it's so new lol :good:
Thing is, do I keep this or keep my Note II? Decisions decisions

Well, in all honesty, I actually think the S4 is cleaner, crisper and more sharp. It is very very good.

Thanks for that.
I had the Note 2 also & now have the HTC One & that shows up how fuzzy the Note 2 screen was - Not missing that at all.
Enjoy your S4, It looks very nice

What phone shall I buy?

Hi.
Got a note 2 now and love it except for the fact that my bluetooth call audio doesn't work and Samsung refuse to send me a replacement for a handset which is clearly faulty. Im not prepared to wait 3 weeks for it to be sent away for repair. Anyway...
I want a new Android phone with removable sd slot and decent battery life and something which isnt a Samsung as I don't like the customer service.
Suggestions welcome.

As long as it has Snake it's all good!! Tip: a color display eats up battery, go for black and white!

That's why you should buy a phone from a Chinese company like huawei, they usually have excellent customer service.

But seriously, you can't expect serious responses when you're posting in the wrong forum. :silly:

You are asking for us to recommend you a non-Samsung phone in the Galaxy Note II forum.
Um, this is off-topic and why isn't it closed already.
