Because now it will be almost impossible to move to a smaller screen.
It's huge, sharp, bright, has wacom support, high contrast, and completely perfect. There's no going back....
Anyone else feel the same way?
It's gonna be hard to go to the inevitable sgs3. I plan on keeping my note throughout though, as a Wi-Fi tablet/ in car media center
I don't even have mine yet and I agree. I played with it for 15 minutes or so yesterday, and now I can't wait to upgrade from my Infuse. And the size is so perfect. I know that the Note will only be able to be replaced by its successor when Samsung releases it. I hope they continue the series, as I will be a Note user for life if they continue it. Hell, I could even go for a slightly larger screen if they manage to figure out edge to edge displays that will fit in a similar sized package. Samsung has nailed the future of mobile devices with this one. Completely secured my loyalty to them through the Captivate, Infuse, and soon the Note. I can't get over how awesome of a device it is, even though I don't have one to call my own yet.

Not just ICS.
I have dreams of full CM9 w/ the S Pen apps baked right in.
I didn't realize i had missed the AMOLED screen from the cappy until i came back to it with the Note.
My girlfriends atrix is impossible for me to use anymore since the screen is so dark and small. Only thing I'll ever miss is the notification LED

Anyone returning their G2 for this?
I am really thinking bout waiting it out-- the gpu on that beast is 50% faster.
It'll take a few months (4-7 months(?)) for AT&T to get this phone.. unless you plan on buying it unlocked/international
I've spent way too long waiting for my GS2. I'll be keeping it for at least a year if not 18 months until my next upgrade. The Prime looks awesome but at some point you have to just enjoy what ya got... for a little while at least.
Nope. Quite happy with this little awesome monster.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
depends on how soon it comes out for ATT. if it comes out before Nov. 2nd i'll be the first in line to do an exchange.
Not sure how the curve screen will work on flat surface, like lay flat on top of table.
Also, i think 4.65" might be a little too big, lol!

I agree with it being to big... that was the reason I waited for gsII and did not get infuse. If u want size get a tablet

been trying as hard as i can not go to get the SGS II with my upgrade and hand my infuse down to my wife before tuesday, when the prime is finally unveiled...
but if it's gonna be on verizon, i might as well go get the SGS II first thing tomorrow.
Yea, looks like vz exclusive.. I bought the gsII already but i still have still the 3rd of Nov to return it-- so we will see.
Kind of odd of Samsung to release something so much more powerful than the sgsII when the SGSII was just released a week ago.
This phone has all the power you could need plus that screen is way too big...imo
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
If it's compatible with AT&T and I like it enough I'll buy it unlocked, like I did with the Nexus One. I'll probably give the Galaxy S2 to my wife or keep it myself for fun. :3
I don't like the way it curves...
Infuse is already too big. Can't see a 4.65" phone being very usable.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium
You guys have to remember that the screen may be 4.6", but there won't be any capacitive buttons; all screen and minimal bezel (according to rumors, and how ICS is supposedly programmed). So the actual phone may not be that much larger than the SGSII. Which imho, is awesome: Large screen with minimal increase in phone size; best of both worlds.
There's nothing on the Prime that would entice me to return my SGSII for it. If I didn't already have my
SGSII this would most likely be a different story, but the bigger screen wouldn't sell me on it as its perfect already on the SGSII, IMO. The battery, however, if it were to truly be 2000mah or above probably would.

Well its only the USA that got the sgs2 late. Its been out around for a while now.
Im opting for the prime as it has a bigger screen. My first android phone was the dell streak5.
And i love the big screen. I was actually hoping for the galaxy note but i dont knw when that will come out
Guys, the screen is the same size as the sgs2. Measure sgs2 with the buttons and you get 4.6.

If the rumor of a dual-radio gsm and cdma is true, I am for sure buying one to use on ATT
Not to remind you but it is a NEXUS device - updates will be out as soon as they are available. With the SGS2, you will be waiting months before Samsung gets around to doing it - if it ever happens.

I have a Gnex and have also had all the Nexus phones but, I just received my Gnote today. I'm still setting things up but, I think I'm going to like the Note better. ICS is nice but, I'm really liking the Gnote. Right now ICS and maybe the display is the only advantage the Nexus has IMo.
I have had the gnote since day one it was fast the first week or so but the more I use it the slower it gets and its driving me crazy. I came from the galaxy s2 and it was way faster. I don't think the S3 processor can handle the 5.3 HD screen. I just know the the nexus will have way more development then the att note and we won't see ics for 6 months.

I was having a problem with my Skyrocket and decided to exchange it for another one. While I'm at the AT&T store, I thought I would play around with the display model Galaxy Note...long story short, I upgraded my Skyrocket to a white Galaxy Note. (wife is not happy at all). Nonetheless, it's a great device. I will admit that upon initial impressions, I was not a fan of the Note.
To start, the phone is enormous, but once you get past it's caveman-ish dimentions, it's actually a great device. The screen on this phone is beautiful. It's 5.3" of HD SAMOLED+ lovin. In my opinion, this display is the best of both worlds...an Super AMOLED + display with high resolution. It's a pleasure to look at.
I'm getting used to the size of the phone, the more I handle it. I've been able to type one-handed with little difficulty, and typing is much easier on a 5.3" screen, because there's more room to type. For people with big hands, (like me), you know what I'm talking about. I will report back in a couple of days, with a more in depth review.

Welcome to the club.
This is my SECOND 5" phone. Dell hasn't a clue how to market what they had.
I got my note (international) in December. Once you go with a 5" screen, kind of
hard to go back. I know I looked at the SG2, but even though it is a great device, that screen just looks TINY compared to what I am use to now.

Hi, I was hoping for a little help with my decision. I am up for an upgrade this coming Monday and it works out that I can get an original Galaxy Note for $50 on contract. I can also get the Gs3 for the same price, but I love the size of the Note. So basically is there a lot of development for the Note? Is everyone here happy with getting the Note and would they keep their Note over a Gs3?

Wait 2 more months for the Note 2.

Well my only problem with that is I can't afford the Note 2, thats why I asked about the original Note.

My reasons for choosing the note over sg3:
Big screen (don't think I could go back at this point)
S pen
This may be weird, but I don't like the button on the front screen of the sg3.
Hardware is fine, even though sg3 is a little bit nicer.
The Rom community for the note is very active.
Either way, you're getting a badass phone

Thanks for the information, I was worried about getting a year-old phone and not having much development for it.
We know the note is a great device.....
And we "think " the note 2 will be a great device ...
Call me old fashioned .... but I like a device with a track record ....and this device has one.
I'd buy it again in a second ...g

I had the same decision and jumped on the Note. It's impossible to beat that price and I don't think the Note 2 will be worth $150 more than the Note 1. I'm also betting that most of the additional Note 2 functionality will find its way into the Note 1. I've gone back and forth between the Collective ROM and the OnlyOne which I understand isn't being worked on anymore. It gave me S-Voice and other SG3 functionality that I can't remember right now. Like you, I've got the TP running the latest CM9 nightly and the Inspire 4G running the latest Jelly Time. The Note is far and away my favorite. The screen is amazing.
Would you happen to know if CM10 runs well on it as well? I really appreciate all of the feedback and advice. I usually leave my phones stock for a month or do, then its flashing time! So I'm hoping the Note had a lot of choices when it comes to custom ROMs.

I've been running PA (found in the original dev section) and it's great, a couple of small issues but the phone is soo smooth. Also there's been an announcement from Samsung that says they'll be putting out an official JB ROM. Personally I love the Note and I'm still not sold on the next one. If you want to get an awesome price, wait for a couple of weeks before the Note 2 is released, you should be able to get it for next to nothing.
As it stands now I can get it for $50, brand new on contract. Thats a great deal I think.

Just my two cents i have owned both the GS3 and the Note and so far i think the note blows away the GS3 it is nice and as quick as my GS3 was.
The thing is huge but after a couple days you become used to it and will not notice its size also the screen is beautiful processor seems solid battery life is good and i pound on my battery streaming surfing the web and playing music and i get a solid 5 hours and thats constant use if i leave it alone it will go the whole day which i couldnt with the GS3
Sound quality for the speaker is so-so but ive come to expect this from phones now when i plug my headphones in the sound is crystal and sharp
Also running CM10 some weird issues but nothing that is a deal breaker all in al i say you cant go wrong
I'll probably hold out on CM10 if JB is coming soon, but thanks for the help. You guys are all making my decision so much easier!

Oh, one more thing. I have heard people saying that the stylus scratches their screen. Is there any truth to this?

I have had mine since march 4. Never had a screen protector on it and use the pen daily. No scratches at all.
