Just ordered the Note 2

So in a few days I'll be telling other people to Google things on a forum far, far away. With a stylus.
It's been swell. I wish you guys the best of luck with your tiny phones covered in silly buttons.

Heheee....I am soooo jealous of you...I just got to play a little with
one that a coworker got today.....MAAAAN...that is the shizwizz....lol...
However, you will have one extra physical button and lose one capacitive.
Some day, I will be so wealthy that I will afford one....lol...

I haven't played with one yet, but I saw this guy with one at IHOP earlier.
Not gonna lie I was a lil hesitant to pull my puny Hercules out.

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?

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Rarely. Operating it with one hand while trying to type can be tough, but that's the only complaint I've had.
I find the size troublesome about 5 minutes a week, which is worth the tradeoff of loving the size the other 6 days, 23 hours, and 55 minutes.

Will you ever own a "normal" sized phone again?

This may be a repost, but if you don't feel like repeating... Don't lol.
I've been with my Note 2 for about 3 weeks now and this is truly one of the best "first experiences" with a mobile device I've had. I've been rocking a screen in my pocket since the old Windows "Palm top" days. Remember those Windows CE devices that looked like tiny laptops? I Even had a compact flash 56k modem (maybe 28.8?). Now that was the sh*t.
So yeah maybe some of the "first" mobile devices back then did blow me away, but man I freakin love this phone!
I picked up and played with my Evo3D and I just dont think I could ever go back. Holding a "normal" sized phone just feels inferior. Not to mention having the Spen. I "grew up" using a stylus so having it is just a huge bonus. Granted a good multitouch, capacitive touch screen is great and practically makes a stylus unnecessary. It's still great to have it when you want it.
So how about you? Can you go back to a 4.0-4.5 inch screen? Or are you a permanent convert?

I dont think I could go back to a 4.5 or 4.75 screen. I could see myself trying out the GS4 just because it should have a 5" screen. I love my Note and the screen. I don't think I could go smaller but if I had to, a 5" screen would be my limit. And the only reason I would consider that is because occasionally the Note does not fit my shirt pockets lol.

I wouldnt ever be able to go back to a "normal" sized phone. My husband says the phone is too big, but I dont even notice it. I love having the large screen to watch movies on and take videos with.

I'm hooked on phablets I can't help but look at my EVO3d with contempt. My next phone will likely be the Note 3.
* I'm Rick James, *****! *

nope 5.5 is perfect!

I don't think I can.. I still keep my Evo LTE as a back up and from time to time I activate it to play with some roms and use it for a day or two and I can't wait to use the Note 2 again lol

I was an iPhone lover all the way. Got a new one every 2 years and was just now waiting for the next one to come out and I was going to buy it but then I saw the NOTE and in 5 seconds I had made up my mind to buy it and sell the iPhone. Bear in mind it wasn't JUST an iphone for I have a Macbook Pro, Apple TV, iPod docs, and so on..........but it was gone in a flash and I could never buy a phone smaller than this one, the Note 2. I also picked up a Note 1 I got brand new in the box, unopened for only $125 and threw it on another plan.
I do have an S3 which is almost as big but I am here just to find out how to root it and then I am going to sell it on a forum in my home city although its a great phone, its not as big as the note so i wouldn't keep it
Yes, its got to be a big screen all the way

Worth It?

Is selling my Nexus 4 for the Note 2 worth it? I highly doubt I need the Note 3 specs, so I might just settle to get a Note 2 and then the S5. What's a price I should pay for the Note 2 brand new? $450-$500?

Definitely worth note 2 in my opinion is still the top smartphone out just check out all the versus videos on youtube.The note 2 always comes out the winner

Just having the Note 2's screen size has made my experience with my new phone amazing. Yes, it is a little uncomfortable to text with but when I am stuck for hours somewhere, I put the Note on it's stand, lean way back, and watch a movie on a big ass screen.

You can still get aosp ROMs so you want be missing a thing from nexus 4. Bigger screen, bigger battery. Touchwiz, something you were looking for. Great phone. You'll get many ppl saying, its so big!!!! aha

Its a great phone. I bought mine off of craigslist for $450 with a otterbox defender. Brand new is still running above $700.00.

Paid 380 for a mint used last week off CL.

So if I go with something in mint condition, paying around $380-$450 is good? How about warranties, do they transfer over if someone were to sell a phone that's still under warranty?
