White T989

Well after a long wait, I'm really happy to say that T-Mobile has released the white Samsung Galaxy S2. I've been waiting for this for a really long time. Time to scour Craigslist for people who are willing to trade a white one for my black one. Here is the link:

SO HAPPEH! <3

Very nice. I told my wife about it and she gave me evils.

Does GN has problems? Keeper or not?

Hello everyone my brother got this phone for me for my birthday and I havn't used it yet till I receive my case that I have order from incipio and case-mate. Does the phone have battery issues? Cause I see alot of people here want to buy the extended battery. How is the screen? Do I need screen protector? Should I keep it or sell it get galaxy s2? Any advice would be much appreciated

Every phone has problems. The battery is fine on the GSM version. You will probably want a screen protector. Everyone wants the extended battery because it is bigger and hardly adds any bulk to the phone.

My GN has spectacular battery life. I haven't been on stock long enough to do a comparison, but a good custom rom + good kernel will result in spectacular battery life. The screen itself is great but has the negative properties of Super AMOLED screens. Still, at 20%+ brightness it is the most beautiful screen I have ever seen on a phone. A friend of mine actually just switched from his GS2 to the GN and he loves it. Actually upset he didn't switch earlier

Maybe wait till CES in case something really awesome is announced.

When is ces?

Officially starts Jan 10.

CES would be worth waiting for if phones are released during CES.
However, they're just announced there... then you have to wait months until they actually hit the market

The thing is that whatever is being announced at the CES won't be available for the next few months.

And no matter what, they won't be a Nexus!

What a nice brother you have there. No, the battery will last like other high end smart phones after first few charges. Even greater battery life if you install custom kernels.
I don't recommend you going back to S2 as S3 is coming out in a few months and your s2 is going to be outdated by a year.
I personally like my GNex, but its up to you for what you like.

re: sprint galaxy nexus

re: sprint galaxy nexus
Today we had to take an online training for the sprint galaxy nexus...I kept trying to worm a release date out of my higher ups but their very tight lipped :x or maybe they don't know lol
I have a good feeling its going to be verrrry soon...who's jumping ship? Do u want the galaxy nexus or the rumored rebranded note, the journal.

No thanks on all of them. Happy with my E4GT till the S3 Drops

If the E4GT had an HD screen I would keep it forever no joke

5.3 inches of amoled I cannot deny!!! Although the gs3 is really a whole different ball game!

To big for my hand honestly. I can nicely handle the gs2 with 1 hand and not have any major problems doing it.

Agreed...however, for me personally it would replace my tablet entirely. although I am guilty. I am also a musician and am seriously considering an ipad3 purely for garageband :x

My friend, apples BS is for the birds don't get me started on what I say to the customers about the iPhone rofl. But for what I need it for it fits the bill nicely. Do you know of an app comparable to garageband for Droid?

Probably give them both a try just to pass time until the GS3 surfaces...

I can't keep a device for more than six months, it's a problem. But I can't see getting the nexus at this point. If it does have the 4470 in it, I may halfheartedly consider it. But I'm really liking the gs2...I think I'll be keeping this thing for a while as I don't trust/expect Sprint to get lte to my home or work area any time soon. And I'm definitely not in the country.

Galaxy Nexus can't come soon enough.

Honestly, I never saw a use for an iPad, until I bit the bullet and bought GarageBand for my nephews to try it out. It's amazing, and is the only thing that would make me even consider an iPad.
although, I'm still not going to buy one. lol
As for the Galaxy Nexus.. I'm waiting for the GS3, I'm very happy with my phone.

The note even tho the screen size isn't too much bigger than the et4g my dad has one and I like it alot its a pretty cool device and not as huge as it seems the smart stylus I think is the coolest feature its very accurate when drawing or writing and u just flip it over to erase when u make an oppsie

GNote FTW

No point in trading for a phone with HD at this screen size. HQ video is crystal clear in YouTube and HBO go looks great as well. Totally not worth the downgrade on the camera and processor

Hey, its not the size its how you use it.

I played with it too. I'm in the process of being hired as a sales rep and yes it does make any 4.5" phone look puny. For some reason the floor model was laggy. Actually they all were. Probably some demo software installed on the phone. But the screen was beautiful and spacious. WANT.

My wife and I are eligible for upgrade at the end of January and I'm torn between the S3 and the Note 2. We are bother getting the same phone. My wife's idea is to get the cheaper of the 2 while I'm all about the tech. I'm leaning towards the S3 though just on principle of making the wife happy.
Sent from my wickedly awesome Galaxy S2 using my fingers. Duh!!!

i love everything about the note 2 but will need to try to see how it fits in my pocket. i wont care how i'll look with that thing against my face when i talk on the phone. which is rare and usually not for long.

Bro just get a cool fanny pack for it

I've had an upgrade burning a hole in my pocket since July and decided to wait for the S4 since the S3 wasn't much of an upgrade. I thought about getting one of these but it is ridiculously huge especially because I use my phone to play my music at the gym 4 days a week. I can't imagine walking around the gym with a small book in my gym shorts.

Plan on selling my GSII for the Note II myself.

That phone seems a little large...and im not sure the stylus will be useful to me...specially once i load CM or something on it...wont that stylus become useless with an AOSP rom?
Im eyeing the Optimus G(though i hear it has a locked boot loader which means no roms)..and the Nexus 4...I have to upgrade by dec..Cause a friend is willing to pay 400 for my SII + Mugen battery + case, which covers my remaining balance on this device with my carrier

Lol, its not a bad deal i think. The mugen battery is 100 the phone is still 600 brand new, the case is 35. I may lower it to $300 though for all of it.

I've been lucky enough to play with the note II daily at work and I have to say that the phone is awesome in every sense. Much better than the GS3. I'm very tempted.

Is N2 worth it?

I'm selling my s3 for $640 this week and wants to get a new phone not sure to wait for xperia z or note 2. Has anybody switched from s3 to note 2? Big difference?

Xperia z= no spen, no multi Window, scratch prone and untested. This is a no brainer. I can almost guarantee 99% of the people on here will agree that the note 2 is the best phone they have ever owned.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

I was a proud supporter of HTC for a long time. I bought the GS3, and two days later sold it. I didn't like how the screen made TW feel incomplete. Then I bought the N2, and damn, TW is amazing!!!! I don't see myself ever going to anything other than the Note series. As long as Samsung keeps updating, I will always be one of the first adapters. Honestly, I was sort of ashamed of myself I waited so long to buy it (bought it DEc 27)
I will say this, after using this phone, even the GS3 has a small screen. My old One S is super tiny, and lets not talk about iPhone's, those are literally toys in size compared to the sheer massive screen. So be prepared to never go back to anything under 5.5

Who the hell would buy a an s3 for 640....it retails for 549!
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

I came from s3 and iphone 5. Note 2 hands down is the best phone and best choice. Phone is amazing. You will love it.
C.S.

I still have my s3, but since I got my note 2 it has been in a drawer for over a month untouched. The note 2 is so awesome my s3 just seems like a phone I would give my 10 year old daughter because it is of no use to me. Definitly won't regret going note 2. It is a badass phone man. Seriously this phone is awesome.

Went from the s3 to the Note 2. If you want the best......well, there it is.

I have an old bracelet from my father that is worth the world to me, for you most likely not worth anything. Moral of the story go get yourself a note and try it out. Nobody can tell you the worth of one of YOUR items. That is if you end up getting it of course.

Who would have thought that one could swap a S3 for a Note II and actully make a few bucks. You can buy a brand new, unlocked N2 for $627.50.

I would be concerned this guy is gonna report it as stollen get a new Note 2 from insurance company and have your imei blocked giving you a $400 paper weight, I hope for your sake I am just to cynacal for my own good, and that you just got a great deal, but I always think if a deal seems too good to be true it usually is.

I have had every phone worth having since the first IPhone and the G1 and this is by far the best one hands down. I got lucky and got mine for free from TMobile loyalty department because my sg3 I broke and they didnt add the insurance like they were supposed to. They were gonna just send another sg3 and I asked if he could send a Note 2 instead and he said sure lol I was lucky as hell.
