and it felt TINY!!!
it was really a mind bender. the phone that was at one time the biggest and fastest phone on the market felt like a tiny slug. it was pretty surreal... 3 weeks ago the Evo felt big... now it feels tiny.
I am loving the GNote and haven't had a second thought about the purchase (except that i am exchanging the blue for a white one)...
This reminds me that back in mid-2010...I nearly switched to Sprint because of the EVO. I remember that I was drooling over it after testing one out for a few minutes.
But, I decided that it wasn't worth the switch just for the phone...due to the rather spotty coverage and slow data speeds in LA.

HAHAHa i can top that. I had to use my GF's iPhone 4s for a day YUCKY! Damn it was insanely small. I am thinking about exchanging my white note for a black/blue one. My GF talked me into getting the one. I think it looks really nice and flashy and will deff grab more attention when you whip it out. Ive already gotten in like 4 convos with people about it this week lol.
But i like how the black is slick and clean. Not sure though yet Did you have to pay a restocking fee? I'm gonna have my GF call tomorrow and see if they would wave it being i paid $650 cash for mine.
What made you want a white over the black/blue?
Agreed.
Gotta admit the truth that most phones are starting to look like pieces of toys to me right now. After using the galaxy note for a moment, I started to have the thought of "Isn't this phone starting to look a bit small to me now?" When I looked on the other side, someone's Iphone4,then again I realized it was the galaxy note that have deluded me in such a way that the size of it is comparable to any other phones out there which is in fact not the true case.
Before using the galaxy note, Iphones and other smartphones look decent in size and nice to use with, but after getting my hands on the galaxy note, just felt like..."meh...aint that just another 'toy' phone right there? (takes out my galaxy note and start using it)".
Doubt I could use any other smartphones right now due to their sizes unless emergency issues arise...

I got into 5 convo's with random people since Saturday about the phone. People are fascinated by it and always laugh at how big it is. As soon as they pick it up and start playing with, seeing the screen and what not, they all realize that.. wow... this actually works as a phone.
I look at it now and I say to myself ----- perfect
re: note
You know how girls are.......they get really excited around something BIG. They don't get that privilege very often
You think that is small. I looked at my wires iPhone yesterday and couldn't believe how small it was.
My wife has the HTC Magic, with a 3.2" screen. It really feels tiny and slow now. The screen is dull and with such a low DPI small text looks blurry.

I borrowed my roommate's HTC Aria for a visual aid to a speech in my Public Speaking class, and it's soooo comically tiny compared to my Note. It got a few chuckles out of the class when I held them up next to each other, but I think it really drove home the point that Android offers a wide variety of sizes that will suit anybody and everybody. It's crazy to think that our screen is 2.1" bigger than that of the Aria though, and so much higher definition.
Also, since his screen was cracked, I offered to fix it for him. My fat hands had such a hard time taking it apart, but it took me about a half hour overall, and he now has perfect glass again. I think I would enjoy taking apart my Note so much more with the size of my hands, because there would be so much more room for my fingers. Haha.
Holding my Infuse now feels like a joke. I can't believe it was the biggest screen for android not that long ago. I could never go back to something smaller than the Note now. I am fully adjusted to it, and my thumb can reach the whole screen; it really is the perfect size for me.

I have a buddy who is an iPhone fan. Just likes not having to mess with stuff and having stuff work. He liked the Dell Streak I had, but wasn't a big fan of how much I messed with it. This weekend I let him play with the Note and he loved it, his kids both loved it, and now they all want one. Then I took his iPhone and laid it across the Note to show him that I had a little more than twice the screen real estate.
Even messing with my gf's Skyrocket, it feels like a toy now. I can't believe how BIG I used to think 4.5 was. They called it behemoth, gigantic, super-sized display and now...its Standard. "Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke"

Also, random people are stupid.
I actually like the feel of the phone better with the large battery. I've accidentally dropped the stock G1 a few times because it was clumsy to hold, haven't had that problem with the extended case.
Everyone is used to these smaller devices now, Nexus One, IPhoney, etc, etc.
Thats why there is "phonism", which translates into phone racism. hahaha

We can safely expect our mobile devices in 2020 to be running smaller 10NM dual i-7 processors with 2GB of DDR3 RAM, Nvidea 9800GT technology, HD holographic display, 14MP camera, stereo speakers with small built in subwoofer, AN ACTUAL 3.5MM out, full keyboard [of course], HDMI out [already around on mobile phones...] and perhaps a small built in toaster oven.
Oh, and at a length and width of perhaps an i-Phone and a thickness of a couple credit cards stacked onto each other.

Mine worked fine and a lot of people laughed before i showed them my phone and how i could listen to Pandora ALLL day at work and still have battery lleft while their blackberrys only worked for 1hr max. jaja. but then again, the cases i got were so weak, i went through like 4 extended batt covers in weeks of using it, then i just started using superglue, tape, and not putting it in my pocket. By the way... anyone want to buy these 3 extra ext batteries i got laying around? lmao jk
I have an N1 now but I have 2400 battery for my G1 that I use ever so often. It's funny how people react to it, they are like WTF is that. Once they realize how much I use my phone (the way it was intended) they understand because they have battery issues and I don't; well with the g1 with the N1 that's a different story.
Also I have my g1 taped up to stop the creeking and the fake back I got for extended battery broke so its tapped as well so it looks like a hobo brick

I've had mine since the week before the official release. I'd had a Behold II under contract and thankfully fussed at the right T-Mobile corporate people at the right time, and they basically gave me the Vibrant to shut me up.
Anywho, this thing has bounced off of countless things as well as survived a bathtub dump and an accidental washing with the laundry (disassembly required for proper drying out afterwards on both occasions). Has two tiny nicks on the chrome trim and one tiny scuff on one of the backplates.
Still runs like a champ! Best phone I've ever had.
I agree. My dad got this off a friend for 100$ flat and neither him nor I regret it. After all its been through it only has some minor nicks on the crome sides and a small scratch on the backplate. Best phone ive ever had

Hope it can last just one year longer. Then I'll be getting myself an iPhone 5.
My device as stood up against a couple of small drops. There are 1 or 2 dings in the chrome bezel, but, other than that... it's still flawless, and I've had this thing since a day or two after US release. I stopped using the rubber case, since I'm usually pretty careful (except the 2 dings)... and what's the point of buying a super sleek, ultra thin phone, just to bulk it up with giant case. I also don't use screen protectors, and my screen is still flawless. I mean, the Galaxy S series has Gorilla Glass... which is scratch resistant. Besides, screen protectors reduce picture quality, and touch response.

I love my vibrant but the only reason I like it is because of our awesome devs. before I learned how to flash and everything I ****ing hated this thing. the nexus phones are the only ones that work great out of the box and even then I think it needs tweaking before everything is great. I'm going with the iPhone next because I want something easy out of the box that doesn't require much work.
the way I see it is
Rooted, flashed and tweaked android phone >>>>>>>>>>>> iphone
out of the box
iphone >android
only by a little though
I like android more too, but with every device there are tradeoffs. I'm willing to be in apple's walled garden for now haha
I got my Vibrant right around when it launched. Put a Zagg shield on it and that Samsung carbon fiber looking case the same day. Actually replaced the battery on it two months ago and i finally took the case off to clean it. Not a scratch and still looks new. I didnt even pamper the phone. I just think the hardware was solid and im sure a good case helped keep the plastic looking shiny. Hope my new GNex looks as good in another year.
I dropped mine in molten lava, let it sit for a day in a bag of rice, and its good as new.
Vibrant is a freaking defy on crack. I've stepped on it, last Christmas I dropped it slipped from my pocket onto a pile of rocks I was on top of my garage, its tooken a million and one drops. It bounced off my stairs once and my little nephews flung it across the room. Amazing phone. :')

So I've been living with the Amaze for a couple of weeks now and the design has certainly grown me. It's a bit of a foray from the more traditional, plastic clad Android handsets out there but it never really shouts "look at me!".
So my question to all of you fellow Amaze users is, "What do you think of the design?"
Personally, I quite like the beveled edge with the screen sitting above the bezel but that's just me. Let me know what you guys think.

You've posted in the right place so no worries and i love the design, i think its one of the best looking ive used to this day. but since HTC has made these designs (sensation, amaze) how the whole back comes off. these phones have much issues. like my sensation for example, the whole digitizer would press down onto my LCD so i sent it back and got this, the issues i have no is what everyone else is suffering from lol

I'm fairly impressed. I really like having all the buttons on one side with charger on the other. Wakeup with camera button is a great feature for a phone with a great camera, plus the video button is handy too.
One oversight is the camera flash being too close to the camera lense. I also dislike using the phone without a case because there is no traction to hold the phone on the edges.

The Amaze replaced my Nexus S. It took some adjustment but I really like it. I feel I need to be a bit more careful with it as I'd hate to drop it and I don't think it would survive very well due to it's heavier weight.
Still waiting for my gel case to arrive.

I like the sturdy quality of the phone, but when the backplate creaks it really ticks me off, especially when the snap-on plastic back cover of the Samsung phones don't creak nearly as loud or as much. Overall, it's a good looking phone, I wish it wasn't as heavy and bulky looking though.

Probably from removing the back cover numerous times to battery pull and/or swap micro SD's, it doesn't creak when in normal usage but when pressure is applied to some points then it's a pretty noticeable sound for me
I handled an EVO 4g LTE today and I have to say I would have preferred the 4.3" screen size of the 3d with the internals of the EVO lte of course with hd resolution.
I have one on order on my sprint store and not sure if I will upgrade. Don't get me wrong the screen is awesome looking but I am not sure about the size.
With the galaxy nexus, gs3, and EVO lte as the top high end phones are we going to be forced to a larger screen size if we want the latest technology? Will anyone come out with high end phones with smaller 4.3" screens?

Honestly, I don't mind it as long as it fits in your hands well and slides in the pocket smoothly. Personally, I prefer bigger screens as long as they're not too big.
No sir this TINY EVO 3D is killing me... I hated the fact that it was not as wide as the OG EVO. AND I SLIGHTLY WISH it was a 4'8 or 4'9 inch screen
think of all those stupid iphone users. lol. They think they have rock solid phones. lol. soooooo small. could never go that small. However, I put mine in an Otter Box. The smaller and larger the phones get... means breaking phones. Maybe they'll come out with a phone with OLED that allows us to pull out a screen of our size and is paper thin? of course you know some jackass company like apple will put a patient on that and claim it belongs to them when WE INVENTED IT! NOT THEM! then no one will be able to use the technology!
My first phone was a Evo 4G, so 4.3" is what I started out at. I'm ready for an upgrade in size. Especially after playing with my friends Galaxy Nexus that he just got, I'm SO jealous of that screen. It's huge and videos look ****ing incredible on it. Even with it being that large, it's still very easy to handle in the hand. Especially since Samsung is smart and puts the unlock/power button on the side instead of on the top.
I use to say 4.7 is the "barely usable size"then I held a ONE X... Now 5 in and up to me is unusable.
4.7in is perfect for me lol

I bought my wife an Evo 4G LTE as a mother's day gift (thank you customs for dragging out that surprise...) And I have to say I'm kinda jealous. The size isn't bad at all. Maybe it won't fit in your pocket if you wear tight, pulled down, tapered jeans but that's who iPhones are for ;p
The battery life also beats the 3d hands down. We were running down the battery and the darn thing wouldn't die. It was about 5 hours of screen on time over a 2 day period. Very jealous! Lets see what the rest of the year brings. I'm not to excited about the GS3 so I may get an evo as well.

I'm pretty sure that's how the SGSII and SGSIII's screens look like too. It's just that you need a digitizer + glass in the front or else you'd be poking into the screen.
Give me a galaxy note

I bought my wife an Evo 4G LTE as a mother's day gift (thank you customs for dragging out that surprise...) And I have to say I'm kinda jealous. The size isn't bad at all. Maybe it won't fit in your pocket if you wear tight, pulled down, tapered jeans but that's who iPhones are for ;p
The battery life also beats the 3d hands down. We were running down the battery and the darn thing wouldn't die. It was about 5 hours of screen on time over a 2 day period. Very jealous! Lets see what the rest of the year brings. I'm not to excited about the GS3 so I may get an evo as well.

I gave my wife the 3D and have the LTE.
I was concerned it would be too big. It's absolutely not. I love it.
Use it for a week and you'll think the 3D is too small.
It's actually closer to the original EVO 4G. Which I liked for size.
The slight difference in size makes a huge difference on making less mistakes on the keyboard.
My biggest gripe with the LTE is they removed the Search and Menu buttons at the bottom and added a Most Recent apps button. Really stupid move.
Some people have remapped the most recent apps button to MENU.
Yea when I use her LTE I find myself missing the menu button. I couldn't, with a good conscience give my wife my 3D and keep the LTE, hehe it was Mothers day! I used my line upgrade for it too! Her upgrade comes in September. I'll have to hold out! On the bright side,i can see how the development scene goes, Haha.

The original 4g was the sweet spot....it was the perfect size. The 3d has always felt too small in comparison and the portrait keyboard isn't easy to type on like the 4g. Now, as for the new LTE......they can keep it.....I have no desire for it whatsoever. It's too big and I have great WiMAX. No LTE til probably late next year. Additionally, after playing with one, it quite honestly doesn't feel like much of an upgrade to me. No thanks!

Is there a forum for the EVO LTE?
or will they just use the EVO 3D forums.
I agree there's a limit to how big a screen can get for me. I'd take more battery life and better picture over size. The note is too big. The LTE.. I'd say isn't too much.

I really miss the size of the OG Evo. 3D is too small. Not getting the LTE though. Will wait and see what else is coming.
The guy at best buy let me play around with his working sample unit while he set up my preorder. That camera is amazing. I have wide hands and not long fingers....it was a perfect fit. I thought the N7 was good but the N8 just seemed to fit better. Can't reach everywhere on the phone one handed like I can on the N7 but that's ok.
I like writing it more than the N7.
It I mention the camera is amazing. 2x is just a game changer.
The black is a monolith.
I got the fingerprint friendly grey.
always bet on black
ill have the alcantara case on the beast so fingerprints matter not.
appreciate the johnny on the spot review boss... :good:
ok just checking but you said, "I thought the N7 was good but the N8 just seemed to fit better. Can't reach everywhere on the phone one handed like I can on the N7 but that's ok."
So it fits better than the N7 did in your hand, but you cannot reach everywhere on the screen like you could on the N7???? hmmmmm
I have no expectation of reaching everywhere on the 8.
It feels better....that's all I can say.
I still have my 7 and took it to Best buy to compare.
I can still handle it one handed, but like on the s8+, I sometimes maneuver it on my hand to reach parts of the screen. I don't mind that at all I'm used to it.

I love the way the note 8 feels in hand and I have the s8+ I always rest my phone on my pinky and my 3 other fingers are on the back of the phone.. so I can handle the big phones quite easy

It's not pinkish, is it? If so, I think it's my favorite color for this phone.

No it's because my lifeproof case on my s8+ was mirroring onto the back of the note 8

If anything, it's a bit lavender. Looks better in person than in pictures.

Definitely right about it looking better in person then on pictures!!
I just got to check one out at the Samsung booth at best buy. I have a Motorola Z Force, had the N7 and previous notes before that. I miss the pen. I was surprised to see that the width is pretty mich the same as my Z force. Its just about 3/8" taller when eyeballing them one ontop of the other. But the amount of screen real estate you gain is nuts. I like it, even more than he N7 and I was glad to read that I can get the bonus stuff wihout having to get some sort of phone plan/payment plan.
I watched the Destiny 2 trailer on a display model today and it was gorgeous. I didn't think much of the infinity screen before, but it's super sexy.

It is such a huge night and day difference with less bezels in terms of looks, but I usually run a case on my phones so it has never been important to me. But I do enjoy how the overall size of the device benefits from this. The taller slimmer profile will take a bit of getting used to though since my Moto Z feels almost square next to the N8. I guess I better order a good case to protect those nice curved panels.
diggin the positive banter on you experienced cats who are no stranger to the note series. this is my first ever samsung phone and its good to hear the long time users still loving it.
