Best phone so far.
3 weeks ago I sold GSM Galaxy Nexus for $350 and purchased a Galaxy S III on 2 year contract with T-Mobile for $200. I would do it again in a heart beat.

You should have paid 99$ go back to the store and ask for a price match, that's what i did and they credited my debit card the 100$ difference

I have owned every Android phone that T-MOUSA has ever released and by far this is the best of them all in every sense. This is the first Android phone that is buttery smooth from the box. I also have always hated Manufacturer UI overlays but have grown very fond of TW 4 or what ever it is called.
Ofcourse this is my personal opinion.
Yes yes yes

Wait for the Note 2. But if you can't wait, the S3 is a very good choice.

absolutely agree....This phone stock is badass and everything just works on top of that is buttery smooth. this is the first stock rom that I stayed on and said wow I could get used to this. I stayed on it for quite a while but then had to venture off to cm10 also our development is getting better by the day. Our cm10 based roms are pretty much daily drivers which is awesome cuz a lot of phones either have audio issues or data issues...again everything pretty much just works. The camera on this phone is so amazing especially in low light that definitely wowed me. To sum it all up it is the best phone on the market imo and the best t-mobile has ever had.... Just get it!!! No right now op get in your car and head to the nearest t-mobile store and grab this bad boy

The rest of the thread kinda caps the overall view of the phone and I'd be lieing to say anything other than perfection. Like mentioned a few times already its power and clarity is just amazing and it even makes you wonder if its even worth rooting from first impressions as this community has such an obvious influence over the systems functionality.
Multitasking is a breeze, it handles everything you throw at it and still offers more when you ask for it. Im glad I bought it as much as everyone else here does.

oh lol it was a customer and we had galaxy nexus on sale for new customers to buy gnex for 299.99 outright. but she was existing customer and i said ill sell mine for 320. and she said ok than i said no i dont want to sell it she left and came back like 10 times and i finally sold it cause i decided to get the s3 and i got it 3 days ago
Would that actually be a step backwards?
No LTE? How 2010..
I was looking at it (virtually) briefly but what draws me to the Note II is the S-pen functionality. No other phone except maybe the Note I offers that at the moment. So there's not really any comparison out there!

1+ and the screen is too small. I, personally find it difficult using phones with screen sizes smaller than the original galaxy note after using that device for over 6 months.

Indeed. It is a horrible trend. Losing features and options we had before...why even go back like that , just plain dumb.
i have one on the way; i use 2 phones one for work and the other for personal stuff and i want to see how the N4 compares to my S3 (e.g., to be the personal phone). that is, how it compares in person in every day use. i've used the previous Nexus devices only to give the S and GN to my kids because of the low in-call volume. (i still have the N1 in pristine condition). the shortcomings you guys mentioned definitely weigh against the N4 being "my" second phone, but the only way for me to be sure is to try it out.
Considering the device costs half as much as the Note 2 on the play store I'm sure plenty of people will find it an attractive product regardless of the lack of external sd, removal battery, LTE, etc. Also because it's a Nexus device Google will likely support it for a long time to come.
That being said, had I the option of both devices and price wasn't an issue, I would take my Note 2 any day.

Please create a thread on your thoughts comparing both even though most would say no comparison lol.
Also, I thought nexus was suppose to have difference devices from different companies.

well... not sure if i'm getting mine now. got the "back-order" email and then an email that said it should ship today without tracking numbers. if it doesn't ship by Friday, i'll cancel and stick with the SGS3 & GN2. can't go wrong with that combo.

That's a badass combo for sure... Probably the two best phones on the market to date. I too had ordered the N4 and got that email and just canceled and went with the Note 2 and could not be happier. Looking back, I just got caught up in the hype... would have been a huge mistake to go from the One X to that phone.

So yesterday I traded my note for the optimus g. MOD EDIT profanity removedThis phone had so much promise but just fall short on every turn. Some things I was looking forward too.
Better screen
Better processor
Cooler look
Smaller
And I wanted to try something new. I've had Samsung for 3 years now. And I haven't tried anything else.
Where I was wrong:
Screen sucks! Yeah it has more ppi.. but the screen on all videos has this grainy look to it. I understand that the superamoled is high contrast, but it wasn't the colors it was the video itself.
Screen= fail
plus this screen is now to small... I can't believe how perfect 5+ inches. Is.
Processor = alright
It might just be LG software but this phone isn't as quick as I thought I should be. I mean come on this s4 pro kid such a badass... not really I have to give it to Samsung for making everything in house.. I feel like they are the gods for now on mobile devices
All in all the phone isn't want the note is.. plus I hate seeing 53% battery in only 4 hours of using my device instead of 14 or 16. Well sorry just wanted to make sure no one ever leaves this place... until the next big thing comes out. But honestly this phone is the best hands down. .

Dont do the one x+!!! I originally switched from note 2 to the one x+a couple months ago. I returned it in like 5 days. It was so laggy I couldn't believe it. I loved the build quality of it but battery and performance was awful. Only phone I have used with better performance than the note 2 is the iphone 5. Back on note 2 now and living it.

Ive been on iPhone my whole life till now. Ive always had to jailbreak to get all of the features I wanted and with android even with out root it is much more customizable. Plus the iPhone 5 is a piece of garbage do not ever consider switching from this big beautiful powerful phone that we all love.
How was the camera on the Optimus G? I've heard bad results. I love how Rogers says its the fastest phone in Canada which is what everyone is using on their Kijiji adds. Yet they are selling for 400 and under lol.

I've played with both the HOX+ as well as the LG Optimus G. Honestly after having this phone and playing with those others I don't see how you guys were even curious lol. The S4 Pro is a good chip but its not nearly as oower efficient as our Exynos, and while touchwiz isn't the most attractive overlay, it's easily the least resource intensive and most feature filled. I consider myself to be pretty heavy into the mobile scene and I have yet to find an all around better device than the Note 2.

I currently have the S3 and while I do love the phone, I want to change my phone plan (Telus) and the only way to get the new deals is to pay out the S3 and get a new contract. They are selling the Note 2 for $99, the HTC one for $99 and the S3 for $0, so my choices are between these three phones. Since I already have the S3, I think I would like something a bit newer, but if another S3 is in the cards, I won't be hurt too badly.
I am leaning towards the Note 2 as I want a bigger phone and I like the idea of the S-pen.
What do you like about your phone and would you recommend it to others? Don't forget, I am currently using one of the best phones out there, so I have been spoiled for the last year.
Thanks for the info,
Ian
I went from an S3 to the Note 2. One month later..so did my wife. Even though the software is practically the same, the screen size and S pen make it worth the upgrade.

hey
i like the htc one but there are a few things one it has NO sd card so what you have for room is what you have no extra room next is there is no WiFi charging as you can get with the note 2 also with the note 2 you can get a larger battery for more time if you need but you really don't need to
remember the htc one has no removable battery or sd card . smaller screen but you know that but htc one has a great set of speakers also the htc one has better low light camera for pics .. and it is a new er phone ..
be honest if you can wait for 3 months the new note 3 will be out it will have the faster ram CPU and gpu and is only supposed to be going from 5.5 to 5.7 in size

These 2 comments say it all; htc one is cute, small, and nice speaker design, but no storage, no battery change, and htc is in big trouble..
there is absolute NOTHING that any other phone out right now, does as good as or better than the Note 2.
End of story..
Many thanks for all the input. The only thing I am hesitant about going with HTC is I had the SGS before I got the S3 and I am used to the way Samsung does things on the phone.
Is there mush of a noticeable difference between the pentile screen and the non-pentile screen?
It's going to cost me about $100 to pay off my S3 (on a trade-in) and cancel the contract. The Note 2 is $99, but the plan is a lot better. Now I have 'My Fav 10' and 100MB of data for $50/month. The new plan is unlimited Canada wide calling and 3GB of data for $60/month. I almost always go over my 100MB limit, so I am paying an extra $10/month anyway.

Everything excluding battery life ?? My friend...the one cant even accept a memory upgrade...are you serious ??

Obviously your opinion is biased and inaccurate...
HTC made a valiant attempt with that device...
But it appears that sales are not doing well....at all...
And once again HTC remains in serious financial trouble...
Stick with the winning team...
The one that allows you to actually look at your battery...or add that fresh 64 GB class 10 Kingston card...
Please don't try to convince us that an inferior device wins out over the most innovative, and best running device on the market today...
That attempt would be...well...embarrassing...g

I don't blame inspiredbyhtc for his input. I would also praise the S3 on a forum if someone asked. I love my phone as he loves his. I have never used the HTC One, so I said I would consider it when I upgrade and he gave his opinion.
But, on the other hand, I guess he had it coming since he is in the Note 2 forum. That's like a Montreal Canadian's fan going to New York and cheering for the Canadians and getting beer poured over him.

I'm very impressed with the note 2. Just switched from the htc one x. Htc phones are not as easy as samsung to root and unlock. Delt with the same things as the one, cant change battery, no ext storage. I'll be sticking with samsung for a long time.

Hey guys!
As it happens, my Note 2 is now feeding crabs in Mediterranean sea.
I've had a long journey with that phone, got a couple of extended batteries for it, a case, a protection glass and was not planning to change for at least another year, but as it happens, now I need to go for another device.
At first it was a no-brainer to go for Note 3 because of it's similarities, but I've checked the other phones and I'm really intrigued by Nexus 5 and LG G2
Basically, just want to hear what you guys think on this...how much can I get a used Note 2 for, btw?
