I got the unlimited family plan last June and got the Epic for my wife and I. This family plan is now turning into a business plan as I'm getting phones for my guys too.
My issue is that I am a tech junkie and I am starting to feel phone envy with all these guys getting the note 2. I have another person to get a phone for and I'm realizing that instead of waiting another year and six months to upgrade I can do it now and pass on this epic.
The problem is that I love this community, and would like to start putting out some roms for a group that I think is going to be hurting for devs shortly. While I'm pretty sure the note 2 is not lacking in this area.
Am I worrying about nothing? Is everyone leaving this phone soon anyway? If I don't use this opportunity am I going to be the only one here in a year? :sigh:
I just feel like it's too early to leave now, but will be too late later on.

Reasonable to believe when S4 is released and if the specs live up to its hype, majority of users will consider the move. I am considering and upgrade and may not be on this phone at the end of the year. Only because it will be 2 years and trying to get the family on 1 cycle is the plan. Its an opportunity you should highly consider

That was the original plan, just wait it out, and get the latest and greatest, but my guy needs a phone now, so it's upgrade now or in a year and half. Other option is to use my best buy buy back to help with the cost of an out of contract phone when the s4 comes out.

I think a lot of its are in it till the s4. This is a great community though and I feel your pain. The note has a lot going for it but I have a feeling the s4 is going to knock it out of the park. We always need good devs and would hate to see you go. But do what you have to. I'm sure you'll be happy either way. Although with all these 4.2 rooms coming out and jb ota around the corner at some point soon this phone will be hanging around for quite a while. Good luck with your decision.

I love this phone but if I had LTE I would upgrade now. I also think S4 will be my next phone since it should drop around the time the Network Vision upgrades start here. Bottom line do whatever makes you happy. The community will carry on and more devs will jump onboard since our phone is cheap now.

Damn wish I was here earlier to see the whole arguments lol. To the OP do what you want bro do what would make you happy I'm also a tech junkie love every new device that comes out. I have a note 2 and I love it I came from the e4gt and had used my upgrade to get the note now if the S4 really calls out my attention which I'm sure it will I will sell the note and put in the differences and pay full price now if you think you can do that do it If you're a tech junkie a don't see the problem of hesitating on doing something wrong for yourself just do what you want bro.

Note 2 is down to $169 on Amazon Wireless right now! I can upgrade now but I got this device as a replacement for my 3vo and haven't had it that long. I really want to see what it's going to be like after the jb update. If for some reason we end up not getting it then I'll upgrade but really don't see the need to just yet.

The main reason I'm going to stick with this phone is because wimax. Sprint doesn't yet have lte in my area and if I upgrade I will be stuck with slow ass 3g. So unless lte gets up and running soon I'm just going to stick with the Epic 4G Touch and with this site it keeps me from getting bored

Amazon shows the Note II for $70 for new customers.
Print that, take it to BB for price match - even though you're an upgrade.
If you're lucky you'll get a steal on this phone! (One other person said he got on GN2 threads)

Geez Garwynn wish I thought of that lol! Not sure if it would've worked though. I'm still happy with my Note for $199. Wasn't sure if I should do it or not before but this thing is absolutely amazing! I thought the e4gt was a beast but my God lol! What a difference. You guys that are thinking about it just do it. You won't regret it. And if you're thinking you might want to wait for the gs4 I was right there with you but in all honesty I don't see how they will compare. This has tablet like features that the gs4 might not have. Of course we really won't know until the final spec sheet is released but either way it won't be this size. And it is beautiful guys!

Oh I did. Amazon had the note 2 for $170 when added to a family plan. I couldn't resist. It was worth the he'll I for from the missus.
What's great is all the wonderful people from this forum (like garwynn) that are over there now.
And there is nothing out like this phone now. Nor will the s4 match it. I don't think I'll ever be able to use a smaller phone with no spen again.

I'm an indirect dealer for Sprint, ATT and Verizon; I get to play with a lot of phones. You could not be more accurate. Not only is the Note 2 in a class if its own. It really is a "phablet". It doesnt need to be held close to the face, yet can fit in a pocket.
More importantly, the execution of Touchwiz is remarkable- its usefulness is beyond comparison, justifying every pixel of the huge display and proving it is not a gimmick.
As far as the E4GT goes, its second-life as a premium Virgin/Boost handset should prevent development from drying up.

I'm kinda on the fence about it.
I played with a customer's that brought one in from pre-order the other day. While the new Nature UX looks amazing and the device is smooth as butter, the size is a deal breaker for me. It's too large for my hands (twss). I almost fumbled and dropped it. :x
I'll probably stick with my Epic Touch for now and wait for ICS kernel sources so that I can get amazeballs battery life on AOKP. I'm rather enjoying this ROM.

I haven't compared the actual pics and videos but essentially the s3 has the same camera as the s2, just faster and with more options. People should really take the time to read the posts in the s3 section. Many people are reporting issues that shouldn't be happening with a new phone. Many are discovering that it really is just a s2.5. It's also experiencing lots of LOS (loss of service). If you REALLY want one, it would be wise to wait until the problems get ironed out in a real update. I'm not talking about the little security update that's going to get pushed to the sprint version on sunday.

I said all this once specs were announced it's the lte version of the s2. It's basically the same phone. The performance difference shouldn't be noticed. It certainly isn't worthy of my 2 year renewal as it's an equal gen phone to what we have now. Besides who can't wait 4 months for the nexus

From someone who has one, it's well worth it. It's nowhere near "basically the same".
sprint is releasing an LTE version arent they? I dont think LTE will be available until 2013 in my area. I cant see knowingly upgrading to lose 4g until the phone could be almost a year old.

Maybe well worth it if you are not coming from an s2. Upgrading to the s3 means you can't upgrade to a next gen phone. Next gen phones come out in q4 for Christmas season. It's like having an iPhone 4 and upgrading to a 4s sure it's nicer and more refined, but upgrades for most aren't yearly anymore and most would just wait for a true upgrade rather than some polishing.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
Debating with myself I am coming here to ask for advice should I jump ship to the s3 or keep my s2 and wait for the next generation. Do you think the minor upgrades are worth it or is it like going from an iphone 4 to a 4s thanks to anyone who gives advice

Agree, just wait till the S4 and anyway, 4G LTE is not completely finished. You can wait till a better phone and better service comes out. Just my thought
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
More or less, I'd probably stay with the E4GT. The S3 doesn't really have much over the E4GT, to warrant the 'upgrade.'
The single thing that stands out with the S3 is probably NFC and a bit larger screen. If you can get past those two, then you're fine. Just stick with the E4GT.
It sounds silly to say but the s3 is already "old", with the note 2 on its way to sprint in the near future, a plethora of nexus devices coming soon and the s4 being launched sometime in February its probably best to wait at this point.

To be honest. you should wait. If you have already some kind of wimax coverage, it'd be far wiser to wait for LTE to deploy into your area first or youll be stuck on a slow as molasses 3g network. If you don't have wimax then it's your choice but I'd just wait and see what nexus devices come out first.
I figured it would be kool to see all in one place all the devs/people that jumped ship and got a note 2 for Christmas
if there sa bunch of ppl i guess ill update the thread with them and perhaps what phone they came from and what they would be known for here on XDA.

That really was a remarkable deal for this phone. Too bad I didn't need a new contract at the time. Still they had it for only $199 for upgrades. Anyway it was on backorder at the time (and I HATE waiting for backorder) so I just went to Sprint and bought it full price. The good news is they gave me $90 for my old E4GT that I got for a penny on AMZN wireless so it's all a wash

On the box it's called the galaxy note 2 so it has something to do with the galaxy line. OP, Sprint won't drop the price for awhile. Maybe never. If you want it asap then look to other dealers or buying it used.
I doubt there's going to be a price drop on the Note 2. Not till the Note 3 anyways.. You guys are comparing a phablet to a phone. Price drop for the GS3? Sure, you can already get one practically free..

It's true. If you can't afford it at a certain price then don't buy it. But that's probably why they want to see it go down in price, because they can't afford higher price. Nothing wrong with that. Plus I saw an article that said s3 and note 2 aren't far off in costs to make. In the end the reason for price difference is the cell company trying to make more money cause phone is bigger. I guess it could cost them more but either way just look at the prices for the note 2, started at $299 for new customers, about 3 months and new customers were able to get it for $99 from Amazon.

He's not making up anything man. It IS called a phablet. Yes it's a phone too but it was designed as a tablet. I know the word phablet sounds really stupid but that's the chosen word I guess. How many phones out there have an SPen or have the features ours has? Think about it. Our device already does more than the gs4 ever will and once we get all the new software it will be even better.
Btw op watch the prices on Amazon.com. I got mine for $199 and I've seen it go as low as $169. It's different almost every day.

Well seeing for the last 2 weeks on Amazon it's been at $249 maybe it will hit $99 sometime around when the Note 5 comes out for the IDIOTS that want to wait that long! I'm happy for what I have at $199 thank you very much!

Its at 169 elsewhere yo so it'll get there
Anyone sticking around for the s5(or whatever the next s phone in the series is?) I got this phone a year late, and since everybody else is getting the s4, I was wondering if anyone is still gonna hold out for the s5.
This would be VERY cool if this is indeed a "leak." http://www.itechpost.com/articles/9801/20130527/samsung-galaxy-s5-specs-leaked-early.htm
What do you think? What will the next galaxy phone have? Will it be worth it to stick around?

Lol s5 leaks? The gs4 JUST came out like a month ago... but these seem like somewhat reasonable specs...

I'll be on the s2 for a year in September, and it'll be another year after that before I am eligible for upgrade.
By then, the s4 will probably be free, so that's probably my next phone.

Had this phone for about a year and a half. Don't see myself upgrading anytime soon. This phone has not lagged once on me and I have not seen either S3 or s4 as upgrade-worthy

Ditto here. My mom just got the S4, despite my protestations. She doesn't even know how to use half the features on her old phone. I tried to talk her into getting the S3 for 1/4 of the price, but she wouldn't listen.
My upgrade is up Oct 1 and I plan to get whatever is best at that time but nothing as large as the note 3. I think a 5" screen size is perfect for an all around device. Possibly the LG Optimus G2 or Motorola X. Still waiting for news on both.
I skipped the S3 b/c I think it wasn't a major-enough upgrade. But I got the S4 right when the preorders went live. I'll be using my upgrade for the S5 when it comes out, most likely. Kept my S2 as my backup phone and mom & wifey's still rocking the S2.
Im going to get my s4 tomorrow but im still torn between that and the note 2....

Windows phone, this android stuff is getting a little boring.
Just put girlfriend on my plan, and i got her the s3 for $30 on amazon. She keeps asking me "how do i _____" But it is one smooth phone! my upgrade is up next may, and you better believe im going to save money for the beefed up s5. (unless something else better comes out, which might be the new motorola phone. but i really enjoy sammys!)
Thank you woody for seeing the light. Because you just use android as you would an iphone. I bet you are not unlocking the full customization of the phone. Yeah for you maybe go simple. Such as iphone or microsoft. Hell even a flip phone. Goodbye now

If I ever bought a phone with a display bigger than 5 inches, please PUNCH MY FACE.

Great news on the design, but no removeable battery is pretty much a deal breaker. How does Samsung not realize what their best features are? Seriously, the removable battery and SD card slot are the core design features that separates their product from the crap Apple puts out.

I like how right after the article it has a link that says "Innovation Is Still At Apple's Core" sure it is... the only thing they've done since Jobs died is copy Android features.
Team Rejectz
my contract ends in october so if the g5 is reported to be within 6 months of that ill probably go with it, if not then ill probably get a s4 or htc one
