IS SPRINT GETN THE s2 NOTE?

Ive been with sprint for a very long time,customer service is what keeps my buisness with sprint. There awesome in this regard. Cell service sux tho...
More to the point,at&t sux all around were im from. Thats 1 mans opinion. BUT!!! They now have a phone thats caught my eye....the galaxy NOTE! With all its 5.3 in screen glory,its hard to NOT drop sprint like a bad habit and run on over to at&t to accuire this phone. I currently have the epic 4g touch and love it. 4.5in screen is awesome! But 5.3 with a smart pen! Very enticeing...
So,has anyone heard anything about sprint pickin this wicked little phone up? A slightly modified version maybe? Or do we galaxy freaks have to jump ship to get our hands on one? Thanx 4 listening to my yammering

There is a rumor sprint will get the rebranded note, the galaxy journal.
5.3 samoled sexiness I'm all over it!!

I hope they do and from what has been said we will

It's been rumor after rumor after rumor with no substantial evidence. I hope Sprint gets it, because I would love to have it, but it isn't looking likely.

LOL galaxy journal....What's next? Galaxy diary?

Yes, they are. It won't be until May 19th or after that. Possibly early June.
Sent from the guy who will never buy Klipsch again.

Like I said before, I'm waiting to see what the s3 will be and what CPU the journal will have. If its a snapdragon like the att version, I will pass on it.

Im sure the day it comes out our friends will find a way to root,rom and otherwise pimp the journal. I want it,im tempted to start a at&t acct just to obtain the dam thing. We have all these leaks and what not,why not a leak about this? Leak a release date

I'm hoping the s3 comes with the S pen. Looks very cool on the Note!

Well ill be dammed,diary it is then. Whtever the case. I gots ta have me 1

I personally think the Note is too big. A coworker of mine has one, and when she uses it as a phone, it reminds me of the giant cellular phones from the late 80's and early 90's.
Plus, you can't exactly drop it in your front pants pocket without looking like a dufus.

U can't even notice it when its in ur pants pocket u need some quality time with a note its pretty manageable

Wouldn't Early June mess with the EVO launch?

Since it's rumored the L710 is the note maybe some can answer this. Why does the SPH-L710 no longer show up on the Wifi certification site?

Before we get bombarded with the GS3 threads again, let's make this the thread where discussion goes for it. I'll update the OP tomorrow in more detail. Any thread started about the GS3 (including reviews, release dates, variants, prices, etc.) will be shut down and redirected here. We already have a GS3 section if you want to read more about it. (That's my section also )
The rules still apply and I'll be sure to post them up again.

If we had SIM cards we could just swap out then, heck yeah I would totally do this. As it stands I will still hang onto my E4GT even if I buy the SGSIII as this is my standard *insurance* plan.

I hope this is legit
documents received by Sammy TODAY concerning the patent on the Sprint Galaxy SIII version dubbed SPH-L710, which we've known for weeks already clearly contain the specs and design, and Exynos #5250-L is listed as the processor, btw that's the exynos DUAL(EDITED @ 3:33) +LTE.
Please note also Sprint changes their mind like Kim Kardashian changes boyfriends. Even so, yes, there are benchmarks of this device, and even with that processor, it once again left the EVO in the dust so to speak. The beauty of Samsung technology is that it's so well written, that while the EVO HAS to have quad to run at GS3's level yet doesn't, the gs3 is just as capable on dual as the quad. My guess is that the 16GB version will run dual but the 32 GB will run quad. Btw the price difference in the 2 is gonna be about $150 making the 32GB cost from $349-$375 with renewal with new contract. The dual core benchmark score of SPH-L710 was based off a dual core device and the overall score at only 1.3 of its possible 1.7GhZ was 9175

Your input SGS3 to buy or not?

Father's Day is coming, so is the S3 and Evo LTE. My contract expired in April and I'm eligible for an upgrade. So my wife asked me, do you want me to gift you the S3...
I am perfectly happy with the S2 and beside the NFC of S3 I'm not too thrilled. The question is: (a) get the S3 or wait for something special might pop up around Christmas time?

I would get the s3. Even just to play around with on wifi if you want to use your e4gt still. I plan to do this, as I get (ok) wimaxx but am not anywhere near any of the first roll out areas for lte. Just my suggestion. This phone is great, but I want to play with that new too lol. If you are near lte tho then it is no question. S3 imo.
Sent from my Blu Kuban powered Epic (4g lol) Touch

there already a few threads open about this fellas..

It's the next "big thing" so I would get it unless you are considering the iPhone 5. You could always get it and sell it on Craigslist for like $600 and keep your S2.

I don't know, the ET4g and sprint in general have left a bad taste in my mouth with radio issues... I'm thinking my next phone will be a HTC or maybe a moto.

Man I would LOVE those speeds. I'm at around 3.5-4.5mbps on a good day. 3g is horrid tho, under .1 sometimes, as high as .4 rarely. In the process of reading up on the PRL tweaks tho, that should help a lot on my 3g. But I'm that guy that reads everything about stuff before I try it, so I'm slow

My strategy is, IF I get the s3 (kinda doubtful), the decision that would make the most sense, would be to WAIT until LTE is fully deployed and active in your area. If not, you will be stuck on 3g for quite a while until it happens, whenever that might be. Don't be in a rush. I know how hard that is to practice when you're a xda kind of person, but that makes the most sense to me on many areas. So many people are very frustrated with 3g performance lately, it wouldn't be logical to force yourself into that mode for god knows how long. For me, the deal breaker is the camera with the not such a big deal improvements done to it. Yes, faster camera is better but no substantial improvements with low light, better f stop, I will pass. When I had it, I loved the iPhone 4s camera, but the cons outweighed the pros IMO. Even if you have to wait up to another year for LTE, the s4 might be around then and I would hope that one would be a lot better than the 3. With my experiences with a couple of htcs, they are too temperature sensative and prone to hardware failure issues when compared to all the samsungs I've owned. I'm not a Samsung fan either, I've just had much less problems with them and they're much easier to do custom things to like rooting and roms.
Besides, you said it yourself, you're happy with what you have already. Also, pentile s3 screen, eww.

Well if you know you want that phone get it asap so your new contract starts being used asap.... Means new upgrade sooner down the road. I just got mine in October or whenever the iphone came out. Personally the s3 and the galaxy nexus are the only two phones that I would consider over the et4g. As you can tell I am alittle partial to Samsung as all my previous phones who weren't Samsung I've had problems with excluding the HTC sensation

Could Samsung Just Leak Source?

Samsung has already flexed its muscles by dictating to the US carriers what the GS3 will look like and be named. Despite this, Sprint seems to be calling the shots with this Epic Touch ICS update right now by holding it back for the GS3 launch.
It is pretty clear (to me at least) that FF18 will be the OTA release for ICS. I think at this point Samsung should basically just give the finger to Sprint and "accidentally" leak the source for FF18 for the Epic Touch.
I mean really, what do they have to lose?

Its all about the Benjamins you know the motto.... If they leak the upgrade now you may or may not want to get the GS3 but if they hold off and the GS3 is your only way of getting ICS then hmmmmmmm...
Let the GS3 hit the streets for a week or two and they get their initial money and then they will probably give us our upgrade to ICS. You know how it is, just like record sales or movie sales the first week is usually the big one.
Bottom line I think its all about how to generate the most revenue out of this

You dont bite the hand that feeds you
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

Sprint is doing the same thing to the Evo 3D users too, hold off on the update & sell as many Evo LTE's & GS3's as possible, I don't like it either, but its business. I'm just hoping that Samsung will release source early like they did for Gingerbread on the Epic last November, we had source almost 3 weeks before Sprint pushed the update.
Sent from my CM9 powered E4GT using Tapatalk 2

Why would Sprint drop ICS on the S2 before the S3 with ICS hits the shelves? Thats the dumbest business move ever. Of course they are gonna wait a bit for the S3 to generate some cash then when they feel they have pulled enough subscribers, theyll give the older ones their treat. Yeah Sammy could screw Sprint over and leak the source but that would not make Mr. Hesse happy and Sammy doesnt wanna do that. Like edlivian said Sprint brings Sammy a decent piece of the pie. Why would they intentionally burn that bridge?

Thank you! I guess I'm not the only one that understands business. Someone said the same thing last week here in general and i told them damn near the same thing you just did.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

I'm not interested in them releasing the OTA before the GS3 has its turn in the sun, guys, just source. Most people don't know what to do with source anyway so how can it hurt?

I might be mistaken on this but there is another legal aspect:
GPL was mentioned on another thread regarding the eMMC fix that stated it would violate GPL to release source if the official release did not match. Since no official confirmation has come from Sprint that FF18 is the OTA I don't think they can legally do it until that is given to them.
Oddly enough the i777 source hasn't dropped either so it also might be that they're holding back until a solution for the eMMC lockup is both in agreement, developed and passed to carriers. That is purely speculative though as follow-up inquires to OSRC, Mr. Sumrall and Samsung R&D have so far been unanswered.

I understand they want to make money but hasn't this phone not even been out a year yet? I don't know about everyone else but really, who the hell can upgrade to the gsIII or evo lte without going off contract and paying full price?? U guys make no sense. It's not time for our upgrade yet!

If u have bad service where u live well that just sucks. But as much as we hate to admit it Sprint really does have the best plans for the price I think. I get pretty decent service where I live. Never had wimax and definitely will never see lte but that's ok. I'm probably not alone on not seeing lte. Unlimited 3g is still nice though. I just don't see how people justify them not giving us source because of the gsIII. I don't know about u but I don't have 600 bucks to throw away when I haven't even had this phone for a year yet.

exactly lol.. my point is also in retaining its current customers.. yes we have unltd data which is nice.. and seems like were in the same boat! but sprint is delaying our ics source because of the sgs3.. way to treat your loyal customers who bought the sgs2 last year.. i bet the ppl with sgs3 wont get jelly bean for a while until sprint releases there first phone with jelly bean lol.. we will be left to using ports and custom roms which in my opinion are better than anything sprint can throw at us.. they should give us what we want, and will still generate revenue from new sgs3 owners at the same time.. and lte will attract new customers however late sprint is jumping on that ship.. but what about us? that was my point lol

yeah im not sure why so many people are complaining. If u want the official ICS that badly go blow ur money on the GS3 a year after u bought the GS2. Otherwise you have to wait just like everyone else. Don't expect the newest technology to just be handed to u on a silver platter just cuz you own an earlier version of it. Sprint doesn't owe you a thing. No where in your contract with them does it state that they "owe" you and OS upgrade in x amount of time. They do OTA upgrades as a courtesy when it makes sense to them. They are in the business to take customers away from other carriers and keep their current ones mostly satisfied on the side. If that's not enough then thats the beauty of capitalism. Find another carrier and pay more. You can't have it all.

Well like I already said I'm happy with Sprint. They have good price for their plans which r Truly unlimited. And I'm running ics right now so it's all good.

And from what some people with that device have said they aren't that impressed anyway.

Does it really matter when samsux releases the update. T mobile still has to push it. And dancing on the broken record line, as long as people selling new phones control the updates..........

Sigh, still kind of vague. I'm waiting for the push backs of December then they will say early 2014. Feels bad man.

Just smoke signals. It is getting old to be left behind on updates with new phones. Time for carriers to focus more on updates rather than sales.

While I tend to agree,
Updates don't make money for carriers, phone sales do. Why would they change that dynamic?

Because happy customers=repeat clientele. Although I've never been a big Apple fan, I now realize how important Steve Jobs was to the tech industry.

If you want updates get a nexus, otherwise be happy with your cool big screen phone with a pen

What a good consumer you are... surely every corporation would dream that the entire world be filled with carbon copies of you.

Maybe it's just this will be the third time I have gone through this. First with the behold 2, was promised to us that we would get froyo, which never happened. Second with vibrant, which was promised gingerbread, which also never happened. After that I went through nexus s, nexus s4g then galaxy nexus. Gnex was a bad daddy phone that still can hang with the newest. I was on the fence whether to get nexus 4(which my wife has) or the note. I decided that the screen and pen were more important to me then having newest software. I knew 100% what I was getting into. In the past I have complained to tmobile, signed petitions, complained to samsux, with null results. You may call me a corporate sheep, while I call myself an educated consumer.

Although Samsung is grosley behind the Nexus line up. To be fair Samsung probably has the best track record in terms of updates. The GS2 is still being supported and rumored to get 4.3. And T-Mobile ain't bad seems like we get updates faster than the other US carriers. Although I am using At&t note on T-Mo. Who cares I am sure I will get 4.3 long before official update from any carrier.

one scenario would be once samsung releases the final build -- cyanogenmod gets ahold of it and and puts together a tmobile port for it -- and they start charging for roms maybe. they are in business now to make money and their stable roms tend to be just that.. i'd pay a reasonable amount for a stable rom with all the bells and whistles. I said CM since they went public as a corp- other modders have great roms too

Doubt cm will port an OEM ROM, and especially now that they are technically a OEM. Their goal is to sell the cm experience. Now that they are a corporate they are now for profit. Now no one knows exactly how they are going to acneive that goal. Ads, teaming up with an OEM like Google does with lg and has done with Samsung and HTC. Maybe they will have their own app store. Maybe charge for the installer. Who knows

Some what good news, there is a 4.3 leak for att note 2. No root method yet. I definitely don't recommended flashing if Cuz it will have ARF modem. I plan to flash soon. I have unlocked att note. Pretty sure if a leak doesn't come out there will be flashable zips soon which will make its way to T-Mobile
