does anyone know if you have an upgrade on your account must you use it under the phone number that has the upgrade or can anyone on the account use it?
I upgraded to the GS three just a few months ago but would like to get the note 2 and give my wife the GS three

You can use another lines upgrade

Has anybody seen the branding on the Verizon version? They actually put the Verizon logo on the home button and the logos on the back are huge. If sprint does this I won't get it, Verizon managed to make a great looking phone into crap. I really don't mind the back, but really on the home button?

But there is no carrier logo on the sprint version

Haven't seen it yet, I'll get it if there isn't any. Love that sprint is doing so well now, first to get jellybean and start rolling out 4G faster. Happy I stayed

I am in December. That's when I'm paying my ETF and switching to either ATT on contract(I actually might buy the phone outright from them) or t-mobile prepaid, where I'd still have to buy it outright. I'm just fed up with Sprint.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

sprint's been doing good with 4g rollout and 3g speeds in san antonio, so i may pick it up. 5.5" is huge though!! (that's not what she said)

Bigger screen with the same resolution as the S3, pass.

Bigger screen is nice in bed watching youtube and movies, but you could have a tablet instead, and keep a phone for calling and stuff.

Phone has nice specs but with S3 and a 7" tablet w/pen functions I don't need it. I can see how a device like this could really catch on in the business community though. Wish I could put it in the hands of all my field techs but the cost of data plans is still too high.

I want to see what the lower dpi screens about. Also probably won't get cm10 for note 2 and even if we do probably won't get the s-pen working. I might pass and keep the s3.

I second this, that's too much, his Note 2 is used as well.
I have found deals on craigslist that have people trading their GS3 for Note 2's plus $100 cash.
The Note 2 is not much of an upgrade honestly, sure it has the quad core CPU, larger screen, the stylus and such, but it's not much over the GS3 IMO.
If you can get him to bump it down to $100-150 cash, then I think it would be worth it.
If his is not rooted and yours is, use it as a bargaining chip.

I'm with Spartan on this one...
Yes, you do get 2 extra cores (Same Speed), little bigger screen and a "magical" stylus, but with all that brings faster battery drain as well.
Also, don't forget to use cases, screen protectors and such as extra bargaining chips.
Good Luck Brother

i read the title of your thread, and immediately this question came to my head.... "why?"
meaning why is your friend a drug addict trying to squeeze every penny off you to feed his addiction for a smaller device that does everything the note does.... except dual view. except that.
also, hate to say it, the note 2 is FUGLY....... freaking-huge-and-ugly
it is already gigantic. hope you have big pockets.
it is heavy. pretty much say goodnight if you drop that thing without a case.
oh ok yeah put a case on it!!!.... hope you have even bigger pockets.
sorry, just not an appealing device to me compared to what the s3 is and does. like somebody else mentioned, hardly an updrade... besides that s4 and and 300 class GPU...
if you are PURELY looking for hardware updrade, then tell him the s3 plus 100... both devices are used. there is no reason to give him a $300 device + $200 cash.
sounds like he doesn't like the product he is trying to sell you, to be quite honest.
BOOOOMMM!!!! -cb out... rofl

Short answer, 250 plus the s3 is way too much in my mind. I I wouldn't give more than 75 plus the s3. But then again I love my s3 and prolly wouldn't trade at all.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

Pointless. Enjoy the S3 and save your money for the S4

Well long story short, I didn't go through with the trade. Thought about it day and I just couldn't justify giving my GS3 with a stack of cash on top of it for the Note 2. He actually got some guy to trade him a Note 1 and $250 for the Note 2 on CL. O well...
Thanks again for the advice everyone. A "Thanks" will be added to all! Haha

Your past posts says different.
But even if you only did what you said, I wouldn't want a Note 2 that as been flashed with custom recovery. Just my thing.
I always try to check things out before buying something. But that is just my cautious self speaking.
BTW - Did you get your LG Nexus 4 yet? How do you like it? And how is the battery life?

I doubt he got it yet, I ordered an 8 gig for the wife Nov 27th, the second round of sales and got through at 5:01pm, mine says its going to ship Jan 2. The 16 gigs may be different, though.

LOL, this has been humorous how Google arranged to have low stock of N4 so that they can be sold by other retailers at the high cost while having just enough to maintain high buzz during shopping season.

Trade my Galaxy Note 2 for 2 LG Optimus G?

What you guys think, fair deal or what? I'm only considering it because although I love my Note I get frustrated with how it feels during one handed operation.. Small hands here lol. Also I could replace my sisters busted up Evo 3D or maybe even sell both for like 400 a piece and get S4 off contract..

That's exactly what I was thinking. Plus I have two upgrades coming in Oct anyways. I honestly wanted to trade for the S4 but I saw that offer and just thought the value was higher for two Optimus G than one Note. I could off them, get the S4 and probably have some cash to spare.

I want something different now. Also I might not go Note 3. My main reason to drop Note now is I have difficulties handling it with just one hand. Almost dropped this badboy tryna text while carrying groceries with the other hand. I love the phone and tried to adjust but it's not going well. Certain spots of the screen I can't reach unless I'm doing two handed operation.

That is a very good deal but I don't know if I can see myself without my note . . . I've gotten used to its size and other phones don't feel right in my hand. But if you need something smaller by all means go for it. Just have them checked by a sprint tech to ensure you aren't getting a pair of lemons.

Coming from the note 2 you won't like the lgog much I had one and battery life is a downright joke. The processor is a bit snapper but not much, the screen is gorgeous though. But if you want to sell the pair to get the s4 I get it. I was tempted by the S4 but I'll hold out for note 3 instead as it will have the same guts but a bit more powerful with inch larger screen than s4. My whole point is don't be rushed. Have them check for water damage and most importantly CHECK ESN.

No really because it will have full 1920 X 1080 resolution and it will have inferred so it can replace your T.V. remote.

I am expecting the Note 3 to have the S4 International guts. The Sprint S4 essentially has the same guts as our Note 2. I would like the S4 for one reason, easier to fit into my pocket and keep away from the kiddo lol. With that said, I will probably find someone to trade my Note 2 with for there S4. May add a 50 $ bump haha.

That's how I got my Galaxy Note 2 today. I only had my Galaxy S3 for 13 months but I still got the Note 2 for free. The catch was I had to increase my plan by $26 for 24 months. I also enrolled in the jump program. So I ended up spending around $60 today and I kept my GS3. They offered me $190 for it.

wait i thought with the JUMP! program, you had to trade in your old device?

Honestly, T-Mobile always sells phones a bit more expensive then they actually retail for.
If I had seriously wanted the S4 I'd root my S3 that's in flawless condition with a Balistick SG Maxx case, have it prerooted stock 4.1.2 and sell it for 350$. Then go on eBay turn around and buy the international unlocked version of the S4 for like 250$ more. It's more expensive out right, but much cheaper in the long run.
Been on my mother's T-Mobile phone line since I was a kid and had a Motorola RAZR v3. So more than 12 years for sure when she started using T-Mobile. Somewhere in 1999 I fink.
