and I freakin love this mega 6.3! Was waiting and looking forward to the Note 3, but when I was at ATT testing the Note, I found myself drawn to the Mega. $98 at Walmart, I couldn't pass it up. I really liked the S4, but anything smaller than the Note 1 wasn't an option.
I see some fellow Note 1 converts on here so I'm sure we'll get some dev support in due time. I'm happy with the phone out of the box really!
First thing is to go into apps and disable all the crap apps. I also run Apex Launcher.
I came from the note 1 and the mega was an awesome upgrade.
Yes, such a brilliant upgrade! Absolutely LOVE IT!
Up here in Canada, the Mega sells for 400-500 dollars... 98$ at walmart? you kidding me?!?

I would believe that comes with a contract for that price as walmart also have phone plans.

I'm another convert from the Note 1. So far I'm very happy with the Mega, and I got it new for only just over half the price of the smaller Note 3
It fits in my hand and in my pockets, the 720p screen is easily sharp enough for me, I very rarely used the stylus and it has all the power I need. Why would I want anything smaller?
In heading over here soon ... Still gonna have my note 1 as well but cant wait to see what cam happen with the mega ..be here in about 2. Weeks
my addiction:Flashing.

you are right probably not the right forum, BUT it was helpful for me !! grabbing the SG3 now !! ( not getting rid of my note just an addition to my phone family )
5.3 vs 4.8...man thats 5" inches of screen you're definitely going to miss.
Note owners...DON'T DO IT! Unless you really need a smaller phone. Lol.
That deal is pretty good (been thinking of grabbing one at work)
But still ... Not going to make it fit in my front pocket so it would still go in the back ... so keeping this beast as my daily
Agreed, very tempting deal. Thanks for posting! Being tempted by newer technology is part of the fun of being addicted

You can easily flash one of the many ICS Roms. I did and my Note runs super fast with zero lag or issues.
I agree that the Note should have ICS from ATT since they are now selling a newer phone with ICS.

I really wanted the note because of the S-Pen and size but after using it at best buy it seems too slow - after using GNEX and int. One X. Does ICS HONESLTY make it significantly better? 2 years better...?
I found out you can upgrade from a Note I to a Note II for $299 with AT&T and then submit the old Note I to Samsung for a upgrade rebate of up to $200. So essentially you upgrade from a Note I to a Note II for $99.
Of course with a two year leash.

I remember when the original note came out, people were saying that AT&T was allowing them to preorder it and renew their contract at the lower price even if they just did it a month previously. Doesn't look like we can do it this time around. It was either a bug in their system or they were trying to boost the note's popularity.
Early upgrades are allowed 6 months into your current contract for an additional $250. Unfortunately, every store in my area won't allow the early upgrade unless its for an iPhone.

Exactly, I see more Sammy phones in my area than iPhones now. Before the release of the S3 and Note 2 it was the other way around. I predominantly see people with AT&T and VZW Note 2's, a few S3's, and maybe 1 iPhone on my trips to town. In fact my local VZW store only keeps 2 iPhones of each size/color in store because they sell so slowly.
Honestly I think the N2 on VZW sold like hotcakes. Possibly as good or, hopefully, better than the S3.

Check Craigslist. Used GN2's STILL sell for $500+. I like to bounce around phones and try them all. What's the point when the N2 does everything? I'll probably switch to the S4 soon but that's not to say I wont get the N3 when it comes out. Samsung is doing it right.
Apple is losing market share, HTC is barely hanging on (sealed battery doors and no expandable memory - WTF??), and Motorola is doing it's thing. They build great phones but the locked bootloader is a NO for me...although Google is in bed with them now and recently someone "cracked" the HD/M military grade bootloader so we need to watch out for new stuff from Moto. But my money is still on Sammy. Same for my Allshare Cast, GN10.1, laptop, and TV.

I don't think that well. Two months after the release VZW knocked down the price $100. doesn't seem like they would do that if it was selling really well.
Every verizon store I went to in greater Orlando area never had some left. The flipcases for white were always also sold out but they had plenty of the itanium or whatever flips and 1-3 of those in stock.
Also on swappa theyre selling fast...and on ebay too so! Its doing well. Maybe some like me ordered oem parts and did a part switch to remove branding or its just hidden behind the flip/case.
Everytime I pull out the phone people comment about it, so I decided to stop bieng vzws free advertising.

Not sure where you're getting your info, but it's still selling at the release price of $299.99 and it's 5 months out. They might have run a sale or special on it at some point, but the website still lists it at $299.99 right now. It's more expensive than the S4.

I think that price is the only thing keeping it from retail bliss. Everyone who doesn't want the note to begin with thinks its an oversized S3. So....they would go for the s3 at 50 bucks versus 4x as much for what they think is nearly identical....when its not.

I purchased one also, and at full damned price! My main reason for that was because VZW and Sammy refused to acknowledge the radio issues, which made the S3 unusable at my house while the Note 2 gets as good if not better service than the Motorola phones I have used, and when I asked if they would send a different S3 out for me to test and see if it was just an issue with my phone they refused and offered to send me an original Razr...... I decided that I wanted to keep my unlimited, I had an upgrade, and actually be able to use my phone to make calls so I gave in and bought the Note 2.
I must say that this is the first phone I have been 100% happy with after using it for 3 or 4 months, usually something better has come out and I get fed up with the bugs but with the N2 I can fix the bugs myself, what few there are, and it is the first phone that has actually fit my hands perfectly.
This phone sold like hotcakes when it first came out in my town, for the first 6 months they would sell out the day they got their shipment of them in the store. They sold so fast here that the store had a list of people wanting it and they would call when they got a shipment, it takes me ten minutes to get to the stores and by the time I would get there they were all gone. Walmart and Radioshack were also always sold out so I finally just had to give in and order it off Verizons website. They still sell extremely quick here but now they usually have at least 1 by the time their next shipment I comes in.

The typical font size on the Note is definitely easier on the eyes than the iPhone or even 4.3"screens for me. My vision isn't bad to the point where I need reading glasses, but when I switch between phones the size of the Note is really easy to like.
