[Q] Upgrading from GSII...Note vs Note II opinions?

Hey all, I like my GSII a lot, but I feel I need an upgrade. I skipped the GSIII because I knew something would be along soon after. Now I am looking at getting a Note, but i'm wondering really hard whether it's worth it to spend the extra $150-200 to get the newer Note II over the original Note. The original really isn't that old, and the specs are still pretty decent. It's the software that seems to be the biggest upgrade. That split-screen feature looks frickin awesome.
Now, I like the squarer design of the original Note, but I like the extra features of the newer one. I wonder if they will be able to port the newer ROM to the older hardware?
Anyway, anyone thinking about doing the same or have any opinions?

Thanks for the reply.
I actually like T-Mobile. Why do you think it's not good? I live in NYC so I guess I get the best coverage they have, but I also like their low cost 4G plans. I have the Walmart plan right now.
I am leaning towards the Note II though. It just looks so OP.

Between the Note and Note II, Note II hands down. Better processor, bigger screen, twice the RAM and an improved S-pen.

Also, the Galaxy Note 2 is apparently prepared for future LTE upgrades that T-Mobile might make in the future...
So that might be something to consider

Hmm... yeah that is definitely a plus.
I guess i'll go for the Note II. Just means i'll have to wait a little longer to save up enough money.

You know I have the same question I like the s3 and the note2 and really dont care about the screen size. If the note2 have all the same features like the s3 gestures i will jump on it.

What's the off contract Note II price?

I'm pretty sure the "full" off contract price is gonna be around $700. They have one listed on Amazon for that much http://goo.gl/d9vMg. But when you add tax and shipping, you're talking almost $800. I always get mine from Craigslist though. Usually a high end unlocked phone will go for $500 on there, but I think the Note 2 might be as much as $600. If you're vigilant you can get a good deal, plus you save yourself tax and shipping.
Edit: The unlocked white one is even more expensive at Amazon http://goo.gl/JepOC

[Q] Should I buy the Note 2 again?

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.

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.

Note 7 BOGO

Do you think they will actually offer the buy one get one promotion for the Note 7? Leakster Evan Blass said they would.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA-Developers mobile app

Not until sales slow down, I don't think sales will be as good as the s7 and edge

Friend/manager at t-mobile said he was given an outline for three months and they didn't mention anything of the sort for the note7. Im stumped.

ATT is doing this right now, not sure if its for new customers or just for buying a Note 7. The wife and I just did this yesterday, we are leaving tmobile and doing the direct tv to get the unlimited data. ATT is not advertising this deal for some reason but if you go to a store they will fill you in.

So far Target seems to have the best deal. Buy N7 get $200 if you trade in any working device, $100 gift card and a free gear device.

I'm very confident once iPhone 7 will be released or right before we will see all the BOGO deals for note 7. Knowing Samsung and how competitive they get.

Last time on the S7 release we didn't find out about the BOGO deal until right after the phone was released. People who pre ordered were not happy but I remember someone saying on XDA that he went back to the store with his phone that he pre ordered and they let him get the BOGO deal.
I want to pre order and get the SD card but i don't want to miss out on the BOGO. But if they don't have the BOGO I'll miss out on the SD card too.

Does your friend at T-Mobile always know about these deals ahead of time? At the T-Mobile store an associate told me that they only find out about the deals the day before. But he was just an associate. Ask your friend if there is a chance of a deal that they are not yet telling him. I imagine they would want to keep that as secret as possible because if everyone knew they are having a BOGO deal after launch I'm sure that would hurt pre-order sales.

That makes a lot of sense. The iPhone is supposed to launch in September and the Note 7 Launches in late August so it would make sense for them to offer the BOGO right after launch or within a couple weeks after.

I got a pair of Note 7s BOGO. T-Mobile dropped the ball and is making it up to me.

I highly doubt we will see a BOGO deal anytime soon. Especially with how well pre-order sales have been doing. Unless they start slowing down on sales, and if the iPhone 7 is something amazing to compete with, then maybe we will see a good deal. Otherwise, if sales are consistently hi and the iPhone 7 happens to be a flop, Samsung will pick up all the converters moving from iOS to Android.

Didn't hear about that. When was it?

The bogo last sat was for everything but note 7

I spoke to the head of loyalty and was informed there was a one day BOGO event on THE NOTE 7. He was able to get me a BOGO deal for some mess ups on my acct.
---------- Post added at 01:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 AM ----------
I know which event you are talking about because I got my s7 edge on BOGO as well. Could have got a tablet as well today, I'll see if it's worth the extra $10×24 commitment.

10 X 24 is only $240.... I'm sure you could easily sell a note 7 for $600..... A freebie is free $.

I got one note for free. The tablet was free with a 24×$10 commitment, sorry for the confusion.

Dayum... that sounds even better

I can confirm, I was this close -----> | | <------ to doing it with the same Direct TV/unlimited data on 4 lines deal. I had 2 note 7's and 2 iPhone 6s's on BOGO, and would've had to pay the taxes had I signed up.
But I didn't. So there's that.

Does anyone in the community reading this know someone at T-Mobile that can give you a little inside information that can be shared here?

Worth upgrading to note 7

Hey
So I have tmobile jump on demand, got the s7 edge like 4 months ago and it's a beast of a phone. Wondering what your guys opinion is if it's worth getting the note 7

Sadly I don't think it's much of an upgrade from s7 edge
But i still couldn't resist pre ordering it. I have the s7 edge will let it go to my Mrs and sell her s6 edge plus
Still can't wait till it gets delivered lol

If you have JOD, why wouldn't you do it? T-Mobile will do it for $70. I have one more JOD, for this year, and I'll probably do it once more. I love the S7 edge and getting a new Note 7 @ $900 for so little means I'll love this one too.

I still have to pay a down payment? When I got JOD for the edge, rep said I only pay down payment once and whenever I upgrade to something else, I don't need to pay my down or tax anymore

I'm also a JOD customer, and when I originally pre-ordered the phone it was with a $70 dollar deposit. Long story short I had to upgrade to an S7 Edge when my note 5 stopped charging and i was headed out of town and needed the phone. That included cancelling the pre-order.
When I called back, I was told that exact thing. As a JOD customer, I don't have to pay the down payment. I honestly asked to go back to the $70 down to lower the monthly and they said it wasn't possible anymore for JOD. So maybe he/she did it before they came out with the updated pricing for JOD customers.
Now, all that being said. I've had the s7 for about a week and a half and do love the phone but am missing the stylus as I've been an avid note user since my first Note 3. My fiance was originally going to do the Note 7 but she liked the phone I have so much she's going to go for the s7 Edge instead. I'm definitely upgrading because of the stylus, slightly larger screen, and iris scanning. And, I'm actually surprised to be looking forward to the Edge screen because I wasn't sure I'd even like it coming from the Note 5.

Yea i called tmobile and they said i had to pay a 70 downpayment and if i dont, my monthly payment is 38$ which is absurd. I was under the impression that when i'm on JOD, i could get the phone at their regular monthly pricing without paying the down, otherwise not worth it

Note5 here... Its pretty much the same thing... A bit faster, a bit better camera, a bit bigger battery and a screen that's a bit curvy-er

Yeah it's worth the upgrade the note is actually a computer and has a lot more access you need MSN Excel PowerPoint all of the above.. ... .z. . x.... .

Over on android forum a guy just pasted a price of £740 on release in the UK. Lol
If I sell my S7E I probably would have to stump up another 300 quid for the addition of a pen.
I'll enjoy my superb Edge a little longer until prices have dropped ... or the S8 is announced .
Motorola V20 might be interesting too.

Not until they fix the awful memory management, if any.
Coming from Note 4 or 5, probably yes, from s7e u probably better wait for V20 or any other phone.

IMHO these questions are ones that only You can answer.
From what device you are upgrading from? what you want from phone? Which values you more, Note 7 or the money you need to use for it.. And so on.

S7 Edge Exynos user here,
I was expecting to buy the Note 7 in launch but it is not offering enough reasons to make a switch. First and most important of all, i wanted to get rid of EDGED curvy display but it is still there in note7. The cpu/gpu and ram is the same.Camera havent changed. I dont find spen any use. Unless they release a Note 7 with flat screen, exynos 8893 and 6gb of ram, better and higher mp camera, i will wait for S8 to be released. Hopefully they would release the S8 with 5.5inch flat display.

I think it's worth it but you need to really take a close look at what you use your phone for/want to use your phone for. I think the Note 7 has a lot to offer if you plan to use it in a certain way (basic example: would you use a stylus?).

Replacement Note 7's catching fire?

So now that numerous replacement Note 7's have also been reported to catch fire or 'blow' up, what is the best course of action for the consumer?
I got my replacement at a Verizon store on 23rd September, and so far haven't had any issues.
Please advise

I'm a vzw employee. I love this phone but unfortunately I think I'm going to return mine. Mainly because I usually sell a year afterwards and I don't think there will be a market for this phone a year from now. I don't know what I want, had a 6p before this. I might go with pixel xl unfortunately.

As a VZW employee, do you know when the LG V20 pre-orders are going to be up? I'm going to return my Note 7 but I want to put the money down on a pre-order for the LG V20.

I just talked to verizon chat to setup my return. No swap. No other device. Return. End of story. The next stop after that will be to return the samsung branded accessories to bestbuy.

What phone do you think you would get? I am considering going back to the S7 Edge.

I just went back to my HTC 10. Took the refund route rather than forced into a phone at full price I don't want.

My only backup phone at the moment is an HTC M8. I don't know how long I can last on that.

Mine is the N4. I will keep the N7 until they do another recall then turn it in. If they release the N7 again I will get it... sometimes **** happens but no other phone beats the N7....

Won't they just blacklist all the IMEIs on major carriers eventually? You cannot sell or buy Note 7s on Swappa now!

There's already a thread in news forum - http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-note-7/how-to/samsung-looking-recall-t3475723/page1 would be easier to just keep things together.

when is the V20 coming to verizon? I think many of us are looking at the Pixel or V20?

I'm on the same boat. I keep phones for a year and sale them after I purchase the new device. In this case I don't see myself being able to sale it, which makes hard for me to keep the phone despite of how much I want to keep it.
I will consider the Pixel XL... I just don't want to give up my Note 7. Phone is beautiful, Samsung Pay, water proof.... Just too good of a phone.
