Since my experience with my infuse was so horrible and I mean horrible (replaced 5 times) they are allowing me to upgrade my second line early so I figured I'd spend it on the Gnote, my primary line is up next January so I figured the note will hold me over for 11 months. How good is it? I've played with one briefly the other day and really liked it.

Its great so far , get it. You have 30 days to play with it just in case.
I'd like to think the abundance of positive threads in this forum attest to what a wonderful device it really is. I am absolutely in love with this phone, and haven't felt this way since the first time I played with an iPhone back in 2009.
Best device I've ever owned. No complaints at all

Good to hear...I just hope I doesn't look like I'm smuggleing Mac and cheese when I'm tooting this bad boy in my pocket.

You won't be sorry! I came from an iPhone 4S and I'm not sure the camera is quite as good but its still excellent. And the rest of the phone is far better! I'm in love with the screen and I'm just beginning to get the hang of editing pictures with the S-Pen. It's an awesome phone! I ordered two extra batteries and a wall charger from Amazon to go with it so that I'm never stuck to a wall.
I came from an lg nitro HD and this phone is awesome.I smile every time I pull it out of my pocket. And something really cool that I just noticed is that Swype rocks with the s-pen.

I really like my note alot, perfect size IMO. I have no problem going from my ipad2 to my note but using my note then picking up my Atrix or iphone4 and they look tiny!
A customer gave me their old blackberry 8520 and I have been using it for about a week and a half and hardly miss android or my Amaze.
Im sure its just that its something new to play with and it will wear off, but sometimes its nice to have a tool and not a toy
Damn lol.... So u gonna stay with bb for good?

you want to sell your amaze? i might buy if its in good condition and the price is right
I took it off the charger monday night and I am at 50% so yeah its pretty awesome.
I think Ill keep my Amaze and wait to see what the warenty replacement becomes for this older BB.
It may not have all the games and what not but as far as talk, text and emails its pretty nice, just wish it wasnt a pinkish red color lol
I can honestly say the only thing I miss about BB is battery life. I should get out of work with 80-85% battery, with my amaze I get out of work and it'll be around 25% equal usage =[

Im sure if I actually got rid of my Amaze I would miss it, but just having it to play with on wifi may be enough for now LOL
had a bb 8300 when they first dropped, loved that phone. now i regularly cheat on my amaze with my mytouch running the goodness known as MIUI
I sometimes go back to my 9700. Miss battery life and I don't care what anyone tells me, the physical keyboard is just better and I am pretty fast and accurate on my Amaze or mytouch4G.
I wish and hope BB does well. May pick up a BB10 device .....maybe, lol!

BB curve 8900 was one of my favorite phones ever... If it had the bold 9000s radio capability it would have been the perfect phone. Haven't messed with bb since the original bold... Disliked it that much. The curve would be fun to go back and play with it. I never hacked one (moto cliq xt was first hack as test before rooting mt4g)
Btw... HATED THE 8520.. cheaply built feel, slow data, and I HATED the buttons compared to 8900.

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.
♥★♥ My phablet Galaxy Note ♥★♥
Well my only problem with that is I can't afford the Note 2, thats why I asked about the original Note.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda app-developers app
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
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
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!

Got 2 upgrades next month and another in February..

Hi, I bough the HTC one when it came one on T-Mobile, then after 4-5 days of use I decided to return. The reason was I had the Galaxy s3 before and thinking that the Galaxy s4 is much better watching online reviews. And I went and bought the international version of Galaxy s4 i9500 for $775 cash. Thinking its octocore and it has to be unbelievably fast. Now after using the GS4 I realized that HTC one is a much better and faster phone. Everything on the one is PREMIUM.
Now Im trying to get rid of the i9500 and get the HTC one back.
Just sayin dont trust any reviews on the youtube they are all bull****

So we should trust you because you think One is better
Honestly I own both and they are good phones in their own way. For some One is better and for some sgs4 is better, why do we have to get into the my phone is better than yours debate?

I also have both phones. If I had to choose I would pick the HTC one. The s4 is a nice phone but the ui isn't as smooth from my experience.
If the ui on the s4 was just as smooth as the HTC one it would be hard to choose. The s4 has a lot of customization.

I will never buy a phone with non removal battery. Its stupidity. Here in europe you get 2 years for warranty and 6 months for battery. If you are unlucky after one year and battery is gone you have to pay to much for a replace battery or if you try to change it by yourself you loose warranty. Thats stupid in a phone of 700 or more euros. And so far i saw from comparison s4 is slightly better. Thats all because I say. Lol

Why be so childish over a phone? If you don't like the HTC one then why are you on this forum? No need to bash other phones just because you "think" yours is better. I have the HTC one and I love it because it's for me, my girlfriend has the gs4 because she's used to touchwiz and I've played with it and it's also a great phone. Stop all the bashing and just enjoy your phone. It's all about personal preference.

Because Android and iOS have polar opposite philosophies. Android offers users choice; and choice leads to freedom, ultimately entitlement. iOS says my way or highway. Capitalism vs. Communism.
Just came from the Nexus 5 (and I loved it too... just have wanted something that felt solid, for years).
I love this phone... have had it for ~3 hours.
Good day

I agree. I'm very impressed with this phone overall. Even the photo quality is much better than I expected and is seriously being downplayed in all the reviews. I wish we had r/w access to the file system, but I can accomplish most of what I need to with an unlocked bootloader and root, so I'm content.
Yeah its a kickass phone. Much more premium than my n5. Also much better designed than the s5 or note 3.
Agreed. I'm very happy with it.

Just spent my first full day with the device and I am blown away. The hardware is excellent. Feels great in my hand without a case (case coming soon though lol) battery life is excellent. At 4% battery right now writing this post and I've had 3 hrs 20 minutes of screen time in addition to using play music for 1 hour at the gym, YouTube videos, Web browsing, texting and the works and the battery is clutch. Screen is miles better than the AMOLED on the s4 I just switched from. Shame on me for switching away from HTC for my last phone. Very pleased.
Oh and Sense 6 has made huge leaps from sense 4 the last time I owned HTC. Software is well done, buttery smooth, and has great features that I have always wanted added to sense.

M8
I ordered mine yesterday AT&T is telling me that I should be getting it on the 3rd. I am also coming from Nexus 5. I have had a lot of HTC phones like the Aria, Inspire, the Vivid, and the ONE X. I left Vivid and went to the S2 skyrocket cause there was something about the Vivid that I cant remember that I didn't like, then when the One X came out I had it for a little bit and I didn't like the direction they were going so I went to the S3. I have had a lot of phones in the last 5 years so I hope HTC don't let me down with this ONE. I'm gonna keep ahold of my Nexus 5 tho..
I just got mine a few hours ago and love it so far!
To root, I just need to flash twrp then flash superuser right?

JUst got the M8. COming from the S4 and then the note 3. Loving everything about this phone. Might be the first phone I do not put AOSP in. HTC Sense is very minimal, and the tweaks they have made I find to be very helpful. I am loving the HTC camera as well as the knock features.
I left my beloved 5s for the M8 and couldnt be happier! The larger screen is the way to go
I've had Samsung for the past 3 phones. Love them but now want something new to play with. Seeing how much people love the m8 I'm going to go back to HTC. It looks really awesome. Just hope they have it in Stock at the stores.
