Note 2 coming to 5 big boys in november - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Anyone care? I will be sticking to the GS3 because the size is just where I like it anything biger would probably be too much...
http://www.phonedog.com/2012/09/19/...rriving-on-five-u-s-carriers-by-mid-november/
EDIT: I just read it will have a 1.6ghz Qua core Exynos CPU... I may very well want that in my life!

Can't wait until November, loved the original Note....might be leaving sprint to get it if they don't roll out lte in NY by then.

Take it from me you'll get use to it fairly easy, and whoever said they couldn't fit a note in their pocket is lying, I normally wear skinny jeans and never had a issue with the original note. Only thing I will say is that it will look fairly ridiculous holding it up to your ear to talk, but I've never been one to worry about what people say or think, and I got plenty of compliments about the phone on a daily basis while commuting in the city.

Yea I'm jumping ship as soon as it launches
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

im very interested in this and conflicted on what to do...
i never even held the original note, but i dont mind the bigger size at all... the more the better to me, and with those specs, wooooo...
might have to hold onto one in the store before deciding what to do...

One thing I'm looking forward to is the stylus, I haven't had one since the touch pro 2, I liked it a lot. Less fingerprints, but I don't like how it's on the Bottom? why would they make it come out of the bottom, it's going to wear out and simply fall out eventually... kinda stupid but whatever...

Yup, I'll be selling my S2 and S3 to pick one up as soon as they come out!

S3 not much better than S2???? You decide ....

Got my (blue) S3 yesterday, and I'm sending it back and sticking with my S2. It's too big and too ugly. I think a lot of people are going to have a shock when they see the bright purple menu button for the first time. And the overall the shape is just too rounded, which makes it unnecessarily larger at the sides. Screen is great, but other Incremental improvements over the S2 just don't swing the extra £15/ mo cost for me

Galaxy Nexus Waterproof case?

Does one exist?

So I don't think so. I'd try eBay, maybe some Korean or Chinese seller has one.

I personally have taken my phone under water using a generic water proof bag. They were 3 for $10 USD. the only problem I had was if the water put pressure on the screen it would go crazy..... I just added more air to it and held it so I had to push through the air to select what I want. Ie picture or video

Well but the skin is definetely not made for a daily use i reckon, I mean to make sure it is 100% waterproof you always have to use a new strip of sealing tape after charging, right?
Would be good to have a modified battery cover for contactless charging. I´m starting to work on a diving base for the next 2 months, and would be good to have something covering my GNx from water.

This is true. The lifeproof case cost over a million USD to develop, and they lucked out that the iPhone 4s was compatible. Not nearly enough people own enough Gnex to make it profitable, plus the GSM would need a completely different case from the LTE. FInally, my own experience with the case sucked. You can only take it off/on 50x before it breaks (not waterproof) and it destroys sensitivity. It's something you only want when theres water around, but you can only take it off/on 50x which sucks. Also, you have to test it every time before you submerge it. The waterproof bags are way better IMO.

Issues with T-Mobile galaxy s3 quality control.

So... I bought my galaxy s3 from tmobile customer service. With a full upgrade I've only paid $ 179 of 16gb.
I've wanted the white one but they were sold out in 16. So I've went ahead and placed a exchange of the 32gb.
The first (white 32gb) had many dust stuck under the sceen... and interfere with the camera as well... so I've called to get me a same but different one that isn't defective this time. (New in box course) now the new one has huge gap on the metal bezel area... I could fit like 5 business card.
So I called again and placed another one...
This time I've told them to put a notation on my account so that the manufacture date is most recent... (both of my defective white phones were made in 7/4/12)
Where as my blue one is perfect...besides the dark pixels.
I really think Samsung's quality control isn't as what they claim to advertise as... I understand that no phones are perfect... but at least do a better job at hiding... lol
So in my opinion I could be getting a bad batch or just unlucky... I will keep you guys updated with my next replacement in white.
Please tell us your experience with similar problems.

No he's not, he's paying for a new product so it shouldn't have any defects or problems. What's the point of a 720p screen if it has dust underneath. My 2 yr old g2 doesn't have any dust whatsoever so why should this.

No ****. How close do you have to have the phone to your face to notice "Dark pixels?"
I wasn't aware that these screen panels could have dust considering the digitizer and screen are fused together. Hmm... :sly:

Mine already has cracks in the bezel, only issue so far. Much better than the Galaxy Nexus screen issues or the first batch of One X ones.

Went from the OG Note to the 2

Today I gave my son the OG Notr and bought the Note 2. Fast is the first thing that crossed my mind onbstock no less.
I received the multipane update and works fine. It almost feels like a smaller phone than the OG. I guess because its a tad more narrow. My smaller hands like that. Battery life noticeably better and I dont have power saving enabled but am on auto brightness. Speaker a little more clear and crisp. Voice calls are not as muffled. Screen looks good. Camera improved with HDR and extra features. I have a feeling a lot to read about new spen but will do that.
I bought this at BB for 249.00.

caution

Guys put a case on your note 2. A case that is in a higher altitude then your screen. if not and you drop it once on the screen or any of the corner, the screen will crack. I dropped it once and it cracked. :crying:
Guys. Put a case on any smartphone that has a glass screen. If you drop it on its face or corner it will likely smash.
Its common sense. Like driving a car drunk. You might make it to your destination safe but your likely going to crash.
Not trying to be an ass, but if you want a phone that doesn't smash get a flip phone
