I need to upgrade both my old Android tablet and phone and am seriously considering getting the note 2 rather than 2 separate devices. I'm wondering if anyone who has the Note 2 finds they're using it exclusively rather than in conjunction with a tablet. I was an early Android tablet adopter, getting my tablet before buying an Android smartphone. At first, I'd take my tablet with me and use it at WIFI hotspots. I now find that I just use my tablet at home. The idea of a phablet is intriguing, but I wonder if any of you with a Note 2 find that you still need your tablets. TIA.
I probably would, but I do still use my Nexus 7, and use my phone as a hot spot.

I have the original iPad and have found that I never use it anymore. The N2 is a great device for catching up on news, watching YouTube etc.

Don't get me wrong. . Although not a tablet my laptop. ..But so many times my laptop is beside me and I still use my phone. I loved my note but the note 2 is on a league of its own atm. My 2 cents

I tested the waters with a TouchPad last year. Now its for the kids, and I use only my Note. I was already headed that way, but the Note finished that transition. Outside of work I have only used a computer once in the last month: to root my Note II.

Im using my note 2 for nearly everything now. I have the p1000 and an acer a501 and don't use either much. Except for maybe the odd movie on my acer a501 and ebay.
I love this phablet and very happy with it.
Hope that answers your questions.

One device, can't go wrong.
When Samsung says it's the best of both worlds they weren't lying. I can't wait to get mine for Christmas. I had to be pulled out of the AT&T store because I wanted to play with the phone all day. Definitely can be used as a tablet replacement, but only if you already have a computer.
Sold my SG3 to move on to the Note 2, I love my Note, but still find my self using my Galaxy Tab 10.1 , just not as much. I use the Note when
Im out and about and use the tablet at home. But if I did not already have the tablet I would have no issues just using my Note
I've pretty much stopped using my iPad 3 completely since getting the Note 2. Really is the best of both worlds.
Obviously the Note 2 wouldn't be able to completely push away my Transformer Prime with it's keyboard, ports and additional screen size, but any thoughts of wanting a Nexus 7 disappeared once I had the Note 2 in my hands.
Original iPad only gets used by my wife and kids now, I almost never use it, honestly could live without it now.

The Note II is an AWESOME device and in many ways is faster and smoother than my Asus TF300 (w/ dock). Even so I still prefer to do certain things on my Tablet with it larger screen.
Now if I didn't have a tablet I could get by with my Note II (though I'm looking forward to seeing what the Next Note 10.1 has to offer).
Actually, after falling in love with the screen real estate of the Note 2, I purchased a Nexus 10 and now tether from my Note 2 to my nexus 10
Yes don't use tablets anymore.

I purchased the Note 2 for this exact reason. I wanted a tablet and a new phone and I decided just go with the Note 2. I just ordered it today and it on back order. I will let you know how it works out once it comes in.
Have a ipad1 and ipad3 and a iphone 4s. Dont really touch them at all anymore. I got the note2 because my ipad one is pretty much obsolete and I travel 2 weeks a month for work so its a perfect fit for me.
Sup fellas just a quick question to all my people here on the tmobile forum I got. $550 to spend from my taxes I got , i pay all debt and my bills I saved 200 bucks for emergencies now I can't decide which one to get ,nexus 7 has a bad a$$ quad-core under 200 bucks , nexus 10 has the best resolution in the world but its $499 and it has a dual core ,me and my kid watch a lot of show on net flix ,plus he plays a lot of games from the play store on my phone any advices would be appreciated.

From a owner of a 7" and 10" tablet (Nook and Toshiba Thrive), the 7" meets my reading and gaming needs, but the 10" is better for watching movies and streaming video. I personally only use the 10" now. I read on my gs3 now. Best part is I bought my Thrive from an apple owner who didn't like android. It was released in the summer 2011 for $600 (32gb) and I bought it for $200 and it didn't even look used. It has full sized HDMI, usb, micro usb, and I'm running 4.1.1.
One Dev worked on it for 6 months getting everything working. I've rooted quite a few Nexus 7 for my friends and they are great tablets as I'm sure the 10" is, but for my uses I didn't need the latest tech. So in the end if you can afford it screen size can never be to big. (That coming from someone who just bought a 70" TV because 60" just wasn't big enough).

Bought a nexus 7 for my daughter in fourth grade. Works wonderful for all the games, movies, streaming..No lag at all. She doesn't have to close out apps or worry about anything, just works.
So for the processing power...the 7 works great. Only thing I can compare it too is kindle myself...which it blows away.
Not disappointed is my point I guess. No idea on the 10.
She plays Netflix, Comcast on demand, and Spotify. As well as any game she wants from store, and the hd hack version of YouTube for the 720p.

Personally, I would go with a Nexus 10 (thought about trading in my iPad 2 for a Nexus 10, but it was too much hassle for right now). But it might be better to wait a while...the Nexus 10 is in its first generation and there are rumors they might release a refresh. I'd also take a hard look at the next generation Windows tablets...the ones with the full x86 Windows 8. I'm planning to replace my laptop and iPad with a Windows tablet, surface 2 if it's good or something comparable. Makes lots of sense to me to replace two devices with one, and have my main computing power in my desktop!
Cool thanks , my kid wants a big screen hd and I want a power ful tablet lol ,still undecided but for sure we're getting a tablet tomorrow..
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
The 10 is better in almost every way, I however went with the 7 due to it's portability. Either way you can't go wrong with either device
Well I just got the nexus 7 for 119 bucks,
At staples with some coupons and a ecash that someone gave me at the store. ..well can't Waite to go home and root it lol , and when the nexus 10 2nd generation comes out im getting it, I'm give this one to my kid...now lets see the good stuff peace out....

Hey bro glad to here about your latest android addition. However I need to let you kmow about a problem a lot of the Nexus 7's are having. I got one for X-Mas and started doing all the normal things you would do with a new device root, rom and some research. I found out that a lot of them are having problems with the screen lifting off the bezel. So about 2 days after I got it I noticed the screen was getting loose. So I held it up and looked at the edge and my screen was coming up. I could push the screen down and it would just push itself up. There are some guides on how to fix it at home but they never lasted for me, the problem just came back. I ended up taking mine back. I hope you dont have this problem. But I would look into it just to be safe.

I have the Note II and I'm getting a tablet but I'm not too up to speed on the tablet scene.
Anyone got any suggestions on which tablet out right now would be the best choice.
I'm thinking the Nexus 10 or the Galaxy Note 10.1 any other ones I should consider? Out of the two I listed which would you pick? I'm OK with spending up to $600, so the price really would not be a deciding factor.

If you like your phone to always have the latest version of android then go with the nexus 10. Otherwise I would go with the Note 10.1 or one of the Asus tablets.

+1 on the galaxy tab 2 10.1. They also have an ir blaster on the wifi only which allows you to use it as a remote. Although most find it a gimmick I love it. My model number is gt-p5113.

I also had the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and now the Galaxy Note 10.1...fyi the Note 10.1 also does the remote IR blaster thing and it works very well, though I don't use it as I already have a bad-ass programmable (and fully programmed) touch screen remote control for my entertainment system. but it's there. and it does work nicely.
Yeah it works great with dish network I can browse my guide and set dvr and preview right from my tab even stream my dvr recordings over wifi

You laugh but I got my daughter the nabi2 because I felt it was future proof. It has better specs than either tablet you are looking at, plus it accepts an sd card.
It does require rooting to get play store, but once you do it is wide open. If you have a kid, get this tablet. If not, it's up to you

I said thanks for the laugh because the tablet is for me, a 38 year old, 6 foot, 200 pound male. I don't really see me carrying the nabi 2 around and I have no yong kids.
As far as specs, I looked them up and I'm pretty sure the Nexus 10 and Galaxy Note 10.1 both have better.

Bought the wifi 5110 model 3 days ago. Had it all set up. stock not rooted. Watching a video on you tube the sound made a popping noise. reboot, factory reset did nothing. Returned it for another one, so hopefully no more problems. Should have stayed with my transformer tf101 hope it was a dud as I'm loving it otherwise. Did anyone else encounter this problem?

I've had my note for almost 2 months now and in that time, I haven't seen anyone mention this issue before. Sounds like you had a dud. The TF101 was actually my first tablet. Loved it, but it was eventually time to move on. I upgraded to the TF300T and had two of those tablets burn up on me. Asus makes a good product, but seems to have alot of quality control issues, also with the transformer prime nightmare. So i jumped ship to the Samsung and got the Note 10.1. That was a great tablet until it was stolen :crying: So I moved on to the Note 8 for better portability and love it.
Glad to hear no issues. Let's hope it was a dud. Thanks for the reassurance.

Samsung hasn't been real good on the update game for a while now, T-Mobile... ehh. The fact that it's finally is in the pipeline surprises me tbh. If it wasn't for my love for my note 2 I would be back on nexus devices... the battery on these phones, SD slot and screen size are just to nice to turn away from, been looking hard at the nexus 5 but still haven't been able to pull the trigger.

the screen was small, the camera sucked, the speaker was soooo low which was probably the worst part. lack of multiwindow was killing me and i missed my spen. AOSP is just too boring IMO.
also the front camera was a POS as well.
the only nice thing on the hardware side was the screen and the snapdragon 800 chip
