Hello all,
I had a T-Mobile T989 (Galaxy SII) that I bought nearly a year ago and now I am wanting to upgrade to the Galaxy Note II but I have a concerns about upgrading.
The Galaxy Note 2 is large too most people. And this following question is for men only (sorry female community). I am 6'3" and weigh nearly 200 lbs and I have large hands. Is this device too large to fit into hands and pockets? I have deep pockets (not figuratively) and I don't want a $700 device hanging out of my pocket.
Next Question:
Is $570.00 too much to pay for an early upgrading price? I just added a new line to my plan about a week ago so my contract is still viable for another 2 years so if I do this it will renew the 2 year status. Is this bad or good pricing in comparison to full retail prices?
Last Question:
I love XDA Development of custom ROMS. Will this device see a lot of custom roms such as AOKP and Cyanogenmod? Is the hardware in this different than the ATT, Sprint, Verizon, International variants? (Besides radios for the bands they run on?)
Thanks in advance,
Hunter

im 5'6.5 and 130 pounds and i wore skinny jeans with deep pockets and had no problem, the phone is a little wide though since im used to the tiny iphone 4
I bought the AT&T Galaxy Note 2 a few times before returning to my iPhone 5. I have grown to hate my iPhone 5. The only thing I love it about are the cases I have. It has AppleCare+ on it which I really like but that's not cutting it. The phone has a very loose power button which causes a rattle. My iPhone 5 has also had dust in the camera lens since day one. Call me OCD but I've actually gone through about 5 iPhone 5's since sticking with this one. Apple QC is absolutely atrocious. I've had my issues with Samsung phones but not like Apple.
I absolutely hate the screen on the iPhone 5. I hate it!!! I don't think I can wait until the Galaxy S4. I want to be back on the Android ecosystem so that way I will have an easy transition to the S4. I also loved the S Pen, as I've had the Note 2 before. I returned it because I was bothered by the lack of cases and support for it. I always go back to that pathetic iPhone.
So is the Note 2 still worth it in Feb 2013? I don't think any other phone can come close in performance yet?

Not sure if you want to wait a little bit but some signs point to a new Note 3 soon (but if it comes to AT&T, it might be a little bit before it reaches these shores). Otherwise, there have been some really good deals @ Best Buy and such. Or... you know... stick with your iPhone, you sheep LoL
http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/429737/20130131/samsung-galaxy-note-3-release-date-launch.htm
I feel that you'll be fine because I don't think the s4 could replace your Note 2. The only reason why I say this is because of that extra half inch that the note would provide. For sure the s4 will be a lot quicker than the note 2 but was the note 2 ever slow to begin with. I also feel the same way with my i phone 5. I went from iPhone 5 on Sprint to s3 on ATT then the iPhone 5 on ATT then I am using the Note 2 on ATT now. I feel that since in previously years I've been using strictly Apple on my devices switching to the s3 and note 2 is real "innovation."
I also feel the same about the lack of any real nice cases for the note compared to the iPhone.
All in all I think you'll be fine if you decide to pickup another note.

I was hoping to get the Note 2 until the S4 comes to AT&T to hold me over. I wonder if the Note 2 is selling higher than the iPhone 5?

Both are $199 (2 year agreement) with a $50 gift card from Best Buy... with the $50 gift card, that's the best deal out at this moment (changes every week everywhere)
Edit: But of course, if you're buying outright, shop around... Amazon has some pretty decent prices

It would be outright. Can't seem to find the AT&T version outright anywhere but AT&T. The N1700 is fine but I have full AT&T LTE here.

You can basically get the phone at any retail shop outright but they never go on "sale" outright. Check the websites, click on the phones, then select the "no contract" option and it will show you the full price (e.g. Best Buy... btw not trying to push them it's just that I was doing the same thing you are a few days ago for another phone... has the Note 2 AT&T for $799.99 and the iPhone 5 outright for $699.99 16gb on both). As for the international version, I'm not too sure how this will work out with that retarded bill that passed about unlocks and whatnots.

AT&T has the best price. $649.99. Best Buy I wanna say is $799? :0
I buy phones outright all the time so I'm pretty familiar with it. I just can't find anything cheaper than $649 anywhere.
No way the Note 3 is due this Spring. The Note series is typically released late Summer / early Fall. I expect the Note III in Aug / Sept.
Now the Galaxy S phones are released in late Spring mostly. The S IV is rumored for a April worldwide release. And May U.S. release.
I would get the Note 2 right now, best phone ever. And the S-pen rocks. Amazing battery life, super fast smooth.
Or if you gonna wait, wait for the Note 3 = better upgraded version of the S4, bigger screen + S-pen.

Yeah that's insane! AT&T is the way to go... damn I should look there (I for no reason at all assumed they'd be the priciest)
If you live in a fairly big city you should look on Craigslist for yours. I was so ready to pay ATTs price of 649.99 but then someone on Craigslist sold me a brand new one for 500.... Honestly I couldn't be happier with this phone, love it.
Sent from my SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
I don't trust craigslist phones myself and like the option of maybe returning it if i need to. I would go to att and t and buy from them. It is the cheapest price around that I found. I checked best buy and Amazon. Best buy was ridiculous. I ened up buying outright from at and t..not happy about the $710 but such is life. Resale on the Iphone will be way better for a longer period of time.

Let me get this straight. You went back to an inferior product (iPhone5) because of the lack of cases. What are you, a 12 year old girl?
Yes the Note2 holds up very well, in fact I think it will be topic spec even next year.

Would you price match AND do the $50 gift card special? Otherwise, I don't count Best Buy (mobile or otherwise) to be around much longer to support unless they go private or get bought out.

The $50 offer is with doing an upgrade through best buy mobile. Nothing to do with the actual price of the phone. **** you could upgrade to a free phone and get a $50 gift card. And is that really your determining factor for whether we'd stay in business or not. Lol not that I care much because I'm almost done my degree but BBY is gonna be around for a while. Even if it doesn't get your support. Still the number one electronics retailer in the world. That just isn't a super strong statement right now.

Nono... Just a strong observation from a former employee of many years who has seen bad decision after bad decision over the last decade and got off the boat before it tries to turn itself into radio shack when they themselves are failing. There wasn't much money in the bank when I left and looking at the last 2 quarters, it dwindles down even further as the stock that used to be around 40 went down to 15 (almost to 10 last week) in a very short amount of time. Guess who went through the same thing? CompUSA and Circuit City and what you get left is either a buyout which would shrink the company to make a profit it would need to stay viable, or bought out to be Amazon's showroom for a fee instead of free like it is now. The more BBY/BBYM price matches, the more profit margin is lost so that money has to come from their bank to break even. Keep on this track and it will go off a cliff. Don't get me wrong, I want BBY to survive and all but becoming Radio Shack is not the way to go.
Congrats on your degree! You can now watch from the outside instead of in objectively.

After making my phone auto roam about 50% of the time over the course of a year. I finally got the we are terminating you letter today. In March of 2012 I got a warning letter, called them and explained that I get very spotty sprint coverage near my house and was told not to worry about it and that they would note on my account that a little extra roaming was ok. I guess they finally had enough of that. Can't really blame them, not mad at all, sometimes change is good, I'm kinda tired of relying on my airave at home.
The only carrier that has decent coverage here is Verizon, any suggestions on my new phone that I'll be picking up this weekend? I'm currently thinking either GS3 or Note II. Although I have never seen a note in person, if it looks too big to wear comfortably in my pocket that will be out.
I would say a gs3. The note #
2 is nice and all but it is a bit to big.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Congratulations. Many sprint users pray for that letter.
May not be possible for you to do but I'd try to go prepaid until the gs4 drops or see what's going to happen with the HTC m7.
Note 2 will probably have a better resell value if you're looking to get a new phone later this year
Definitly wait a bit if you can ... HTC Butterfly/Droid DNA, HTC m7 Sony Xperia Z/ZL, Samsung Galaxy SIV, or my favourite ( so far ) - LG Optimus G Pro! Last year phones are also gr8, but I'd force myself to wait a bit ...
Congratulations! It took me 3 months of 100% roaming to get that letter.
I've been really happy with VZW except for their awesome update policy.
I would go for the note 2 personally because I run a business on the side and the spen would be amazing to have for credit card transactions. It's kinda large but still fits OK in pockets unless you're one of those hipster types in skinny jeans. My only gripe was that it's like holding a book up to your head.
We had an extra one on the corporate plan at work so I checked it out. Very nice, fast and OK battery life.
Prepaid, wait for the next nexus IMO. You will never have a better experience than with a nexus device.
I know what you mean about VZW being the only carrier with reception, that is how it is here too. I was in the VZW store this past weekend playing with the phones. I definitely like the Note 2. I understand not liking the larger screens if you have small hands or something, but I have large man sized hands. The phones are going to have to get bigger than 6" before I jump on the "too big" bandwagon.

Maybe a crazy thought, but since both sprint and Verizon are CDMA, is it possible to flash my sprint Gnex to be used on Verizon? Or even US Cellular. Both work good in my area.

I know people do that with phones that have a bad ESN, so I don't see why it wouldn't work...
I'd be the worst person to ask, though. I've never heard of someone flashing a phone with a clean ESN that came out of a contract cancellation.
I'm tempted to let my phone download a couple of gigs a night to make them term my contract.

I'm still hold it not ordering the Note 4 to see Note Edge. Now i'm not sure if $100 extra worth it for the small curve screen. Stop by couple ATT store today but none of them have the Note Edge display model
Also kind of waiting for the ATT Note 4 to have root
When both phones were announced the Edge appealed to me because it was so different. I decided against it for a couple of reasons.
Price. It's the same as the Note 4 so you're literally paying for the "edge."
Awkwardness. Cases, docks, covers, and GPS mounts are going to be odd and not optimized for the display. I use a car mount and can imagine how goofy the Edge will look in it.
Updates. Samsung has terrible track record of updating their "limited availability" devices; even worse than their mainstream devices. Add AT&T to the mix and it's scary.
Software. There's a nifty API developers can take advantage of to maximize the Edge's "edge." How many will with so few sold? And regular apps are going to look funny on an unbalanced display - "flat" on the left side, "shiny curved black border" on the right.
People should buy what makes them happy but, for me, this is the first time in my mobile device purchase history I went practical (Note 4) over intriguing (Edge).

Wholeheartedly agree! I was so psyched to learn about it at first but upon reading about the device, all of your points quickly became apparent to me as well. One thing DEFINITELY worth mentioning is the different materials used, plastic-based over metal-based was the biggest drawback to me. I believe originally it was $50 more as well.
I'll probably trade my note 4 plus boot off for one

I totally agree with you. I'm getting one, but it's foolish not to consider all of your points before deciding if this is for you. I have had the first 3 Notes and honestly the Note 4 did not excite me. The 2 phones that excite me are the Edge and the Nexus 6. But I can't live with a 64gb phone with no removable battery and no card support. So that leaves the Edge. I'm keeping my Note 3 and trying out the Edge. If it doesn't work out, I'll trade it or return it.

There probably wasn't much there to begin with. It's more likely "limited supply" rather than "massive demand" that led to a sell out.

I'm still a bit unsure if I will like the Note Edge, but I figured I would try it. In the store they said I could trade in my online purchased Edge in store for the Note 4 if its within the 14 days for a $35.00 restocking fee. So if it's been within 14 days I don't see the issue.
And if your on AT&T next, you could probably pay out the remainder if you've had it longer then 14 days, and upgrade with nothing down but taxes.
My note edge will be here on the 23rd or maybe sooner can't wait for this awesome device.
If you pay the remaining amount for the Note 4, then wouldn't the trade in value be maximum $300 from AT&T?

If you pay the remained and then upgrade, you do not give them back the Note 4, you would then go sell the Note 4 and cut your losses I guess is what he is saying. I am within my 14 days by a lot still so personally I am thinking about going in and giving them this Note 4 back , eating the 35 dollar restock fee and then getting a N6 and paying 8 dollars less a month. My reasoning is just I cannot have an Android device without root.
You might as well purchase the device for the Retail price

really ? it looks odd , geeks like me will love it
I can handle the extra lag going from Nexus 5 to touchwiz but I had to return my edge because of the lag opening folders/apps from the edge panel. It drove me freaking nuts.
Just ordered mine from ATT today, should be here sometime this week, excited! Like someone said before, I got it because it's different, smartphones are all getting to be about the same these days, and my rooted Note 2 was still working well for me, did everything I wanted and needed, really had no incentive to upgrade until I saw the Edge!
Just got my Edge in the mail today! But not opening it til Christmas. For one, I feel bad having a new phone while my wife still has a old one (ill be getting her a iPhone 6) and for two, im probably get nothing for Christmas, this will be my only present
So I just finished winning from eBay my Note 4 for $550 shipped. I was just sniping deals and putting in low bid offers and picked one up.
FYI search for Note IV because people rarely use it to list things it doesn't pop up on eBay's radar to promote it. Anyways I'm ecstatic, I'm coming from a note 2 which I love so I hope this fills my note 2's shoes. I can't wait for custom software.

Hate to rain on your parade, buuuut it doesn't look like the AT&T Note 4 will have root for a while.

That is about all it's worth without the ability to root and Rom....I would not even pay that much.
It's a little different in this community but $550 for a note 4 is still a great deal if you can deal without root for a while. I'm talking to a guy about buying his t-mobile note for 550 but only because he owes payments on it & can't use it on T-Mo anymore. I'm just gonna unlock it for at&t so it's a win win
Hell ya. Maybe I should post my Note 4 locked down bastard on ebay since it's sitting in the drawer.

Lol I still haven't switched over from my Tmo Note 3 on at&t because of a few root apps i depend on.. Unfortunately I can't sell my at&t note 4 b/c Samsung gives them to me to demo & if they happen to ask for it back (which they never have yet) & I don't have it, I'm out of the program..
