At first samsung mentioned, about the availability of 2 models, 16 and 32gb versions. Then slowly over time, i stopped even hearing about the 32gb model. is it possible the 32gb model is cancelled or maybe delayed?
Who knows they increased the cpu to 1.2ghz so people dont complain about the lack of 32gb variant. Anyone can chime in.
It's still listed on their Samsung Galaxy SII microsite, even after they updated the photow last week. I have no doubt that you will see a 32gb variant though it is looking to be that the 16gb will be out first.

I would go further and guess the 32 GB version will be released the day iPhone5 is released.
I'm pretty sure the 32gb is still in the minds of Samsung. Guess its safe to play safe and wait 'till June when the iP5 comes out.
I wonder if the 16GB is costing this much, what will the 32GB version cost.
Perhaps like Apple, they will add another $100.00 to the price tag.
Edit...
Double Post.
A lot of people are speculating that iPhone 5 won't be out until September...
Then I think this would be a perfect time for Samsung to push out the 32GB version in the market in July, to capture those customers who have not purchased the 16GB version. I am sure the price will be reduced to match the cost set at launch of the 16GB version.
So I'm switching to T-Mo hopefully within a couple of weeks, and I really like the S3 and the One S. I like the S3 more, but I don't know if it's worth the extra $130. Opinions?
The SGS3 is for sure worth it. Fantastic phone!!

If you're cost conscious, get the Galaxy Nexus for $350 from Play with t-mobile's $30/month, 100 minute 5GB prepaid plan (supplementing the 100 minutes with a google voice caller like groove ip). Over the course of two years, the lower plan cost would save you approximately $1000 (assuming that you would've otherwise gotten an $80 plan, not unrealistic including taxes).
Why the Galaxy Nexus? Because it's pentaband. Unfortunately the unlocked versions of the S3 and One X don't support t-mobile's frequencies as far as I know. You could buy the t-mobile version up front, but you'll eat an extra $300 that way for a phone that won't even work with any other carriers if you change your mind. You'd still save $700ish, but it's hardly ideal.

I own a One S and have used an S3. My opinion is that the S3 is only superior in its display. Speed-wise, the S3 and One S are neck and neck. Some tests even show the One S beating out the S3.
At the speeds these phones are at, you won't notice a difference in the overall experience between the 2. However, most people tend to get the S3, since it's the newer phone and has the nicer screen. I personally chose the One S since its screen is only 4.3 inches, which makes it much more comfortable to hold.
Either way, you can't go wrong. Both have good mod support and plenty of ROMs that range from modded stock ROMs, all the way to CM10/AOKP/AOSP roms.

I'm waiting for the Two hah
Seriously though non-expandable memory kinda kills it for me on the One S and reading the display isn't as sharp as the s3 is a deal breaker for me. One S with non-removable battery cover? Sealed? Ugh what a nightmare..
my answer is different.
if you have big hands or like touchwiz, then use gs3, BUT if you don't have that big of hands(me), or like sense 4(me), then use one s as that is smaller
and even though gs3 has removable storage, it still cannot be used as ext. so all the people you hear saying that sd card is good, I have just shot down half their aurgument
so if you buy an 8 gig galaxy s 3, you actually have less storage space than a one s as you 64 gb SD card is useless except for games and movies
so recap: if you has big hands then get galaxy s 3, if you has small hands get one s
or be me and wait for htc one x+

an external sd can also be used as swap partition serving as more ram. you can also install your apps on the sd card instead of internal memory. s3 is probably the best phone out there so far.
S3!!! HTC uses cheap material, i had the HTC G2 and thats my last!

SD card is always cheaper.
I agree, I want something bigger than 16gb (10 usable) as well

Does it matter? There are a variety of reasons someone would want more than 16gb internal. Even with the extra 64gb, I am pretty sure I will max mine out almost instantly when I get it. Some people use more memory than others.
And no, no word on the 32gb model yet.

64 gb that quick? May want to re think that and see what you actually need on your phone.
Also, there is 50gb of Dropbox space. You won't run out.

Yes, I have tons of data, including files needed for school, work, entertainment since I'm gone almost all day, every day.
50gb of dropbox data is nice, but I like to be able to always access the files physically on my device. Additionally, I have tons of data and this is barely 1% of what I have. Also, for obvious reasons, it is better to have apps installed on the internal opposed to the SD, but 10gb is not that much. The point is Samsung/or the carriers should have delivered on this. Aside from KR and JP, it doesn't seem like any one else got the 64gb version. If that is the case, Samsung may as well say they have a 1tb version of the phone.
I have a macbook ultra, as well, but loathe lugging it around all day. Sometimes it is just nice to have one device that does it all without having to constantly hook it up to the computer, delete files, etc. etc. Aside from that, I don't really question how others use their phone, but can see the need for more data. I know I wouldn't be a [email protected]@ss and tell others to reevaulate their phone usage, though, especially when Samsung makes variants with more available data.
The Verizon Rep said that Galaxy Note 2 on Verizon, like with other USA carriers, will be only 16gb internal storage for right now.
But I do agree that these devices are our computers on the go. So even with 16/32gb SD card the 16gb internal storage is really not much when you see it that way.
Why Samsung thinks that Americans only want 16gbs of internal storage? I don't know. But the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is still the most awesome device at this point in time. Just which service provider do I want (stay with Verizon or go for T-Mobile?).?

If you use 50gb or more per month on Verizon to access that 50gb Dropbox your bill will be sky high. Until we truly get true unlimited data, data storage within your device/s becomes vital. I understand that you have SD card. But system internal memory is much faster. That is where you want as much data for your apps to be. So the more internal memory the less of a need for your apps to store its data within your SD card and the faster the apps can get to its own data. This allowing you to use your SD card space to store music, podcasts, videos, documents, etc. This way you won't have such of a high bill accessing your data in the cloud.
When it comes to rethinking the usage and needs of any PPC aka Pocket Personal Computer aka Smartphone, I don't see limiting the usage with the device but I see using the device to benefit me. These devices are really PPC aka Pocket Personal Computers with both cellular and WiFi radios. So why not use these devices as a Pocket Personal Computer? A computer you can listen to music, Internet radio, podcasts, watch videos, video podcasts, create and edit documents, manage your daily life, communicate and keep up with other people, give your self a relaxing break, store your data, and so on... So why not use your PPC aka Pocket Personal Computer the same way? The only difference is that your PPC is a mobile device with cellular radio that is with you at all times and is smaller. Smaller size and having a cellular radio (for voice and data) allows the computer device to be mobile for you. And having a mobile Pocket Personal Computer allows you to manage your life and do the other stuff on the go where you need and want them. That making these Pocket Personal Computer devices even more important to have the local space for your stuff and for the applications' data.
I would have to say to you "Rethink what these Android devices really are and what you can do with them having more data storage space, including more internal memory space." And don't be fooled by the fact that these devices have cellular radio. They are really Pocket Personal Computers aka PPC. I personally feel that Samsung Galaxy Note 2's features really makes that point clear.

Alright everywhere has wifi now. Why use 4G LTE when it drains the battery and really isn't anything special. Maybe when you're on the road and can't access it, or if you don't have wifi at home. Not everyone is going to use their data on accessing that dropbox,
I never go over 2-3gb and i'm constant checking email, facebook, netflix, etc. On and off data.
Maybe it's just me, but i dont see how people use so much data or space.

Because there are people on the go. That means that you are not at home at your WiFi or sitting at the Cafe shop w/ WiFi. And most work places don't allow to use their WiFi, if they have it. That is the reason for the cellular radio to have access to voice and data where & when you need and want it. These device are not for people that stay at home. That is what tablets are for. These PPC devices are for the busy people on the go. That is where you need and want the data and other stuff when you want it without having to pay the large bill to access it. That is where large local data storage on the PPC devices becomes valuable and vital.
If you are just using the device to check email, facebook and watch netflix only, then why use such a powerful productivity and power user device as the Gallaxy Note 2? The features of this device is really designed for the busy people on the go, heavy business users, gamers, heavy media users, artist types, and for the geeks (basically for the power users).
This is where I find the divide between the casual users and the power users. Casual users don't really do anything with their device that they couldn't do with a feature phone. This makes PPC aka Smartphone a true waste for the casual user. While the power users really need the storage space and functionality of the PPC aka Smartphone devices. Another issue is calling Pocket Personal Computers as "Smartphone" devices. Microsoft was trying to compete with Apple's, back then as the new, iPhone. So Microsoft came up with the term "Smartphone" to dumb down the cellular Pocket Personal Computers to be more marketable to the casual user as a more friendly device. That was the big mistake that caused people to think of these devices as more of a "phone" than a computer. This also causes this same divide in the current world of Android.
There are number of true power users that need the functionality, large storage, high CPU power, large RAM, and the power of having a true computer in their hands at all times to need the PPC device. And there are a much larger number of casual users that don't need the PPC devices, more of a feature phone types, that uses PPC devices because they cooler to use. Those casual users are the ones that bring the sales higher, but still can't relate to the power users. This is the same story with laptop and desktop computers.
But just understand what you are holding is really a computer and not just a phone with features.

I agree. I'm worried that as soon as I start downloading all of my apps, I will be out of storage. On my 16GB Nexus 7, I couldn't download all of the apps that I have on my Galaxy Nexus before I got a low storage warning. I have the basic apps I use daily, and then several games that are rather large. I don't like being limited by the storage, but there is supposedly a work around that can switch the internal memory to the SD card memory so that storage isn't an issue.
The only thing I've heard about the 32GB and 64GB is that Verizon will most likely not sell those versions unless the 16GB versions sales warrant adding those models. However, that could just be rumor. I doubt that if they do decide to release those versions, it wont be any time before the New Year.
I ask because I'm trading up from a 32gb gs3. I just don't want to feel like a step back. I know I could not be lazy and move rom files and stuff to the 64gb card I have but I can't help but feel it's a step back... Blah.

Plus I don't see a $400 Note 2 32gig being a big seller on Verizon. $300 is the max I would pay right now.

It isn't an Apple product, lol. I would expect the 16gb only to be $50 more. 349.99 which imo, is still a bit much, though. I think the Note2 should've been priced at 249.99 and 300 for the 32gb.

I wouldn't count on that for a few reasons:
1.) as advertised the msd slot will make it so many people do not have this issue.
2.) i don't know why you think that'll happen around feb. the s3 hasn't had a price drop yet either and that phone has been out approx. 3-4 months. so in feb the note 2 will have been out 3-4 months, so i don't know why they would slash the price just so they can give us a phone with more memory for the same price.
3.) they are already talking about the S4 in March 2013, so if the phone releases in <1 year, there will be no point for upgrading the memory to 32gb on the N2 since anyone looking to upgrade probably will just wait for the N3.
4.) as said, depends on the #'s of N2's they sell. i don't think this phone will sell extremely well compared to iP5/S3, so i don't see why they would even care about releasing the 32/64 variants since it won't bring in that much extra revenue.
5.) so far, isn't jp and kr the only countries that have different variants in terms of memory? last time i was on the international n2 board, it seems like almost people only had the 16gb version.
6.) vzw sucks

1.) The GS3 has a slot and they still have the options. Onboard ROM is faster and also some people would want the extra storage for music.
2.) I wouldn't be surprised if they lowered it around then due to competitor's phones - and to entice people to buy it that haven't. Just like they are adding color options to the S3. The success of this phone will definitely lead to other manufacturers getting in on the 5.5" scene.
3.) Most people aren't going to wait 6 months or so to upgrade.
4.) They already sold over 3 million before AT&T (and Verizon) got it. This phone is selling more than they expected, I'd bet.
5.) Since they already have the added memory in the GS3, putting it in the Note 2 won't cost much - it's not like they'll have to use anything new.
It shouldn't surprise anyone if a 32GB eventually comes out. I wouldn't wait on it or anything but it's definitely quite possible.

1.) gs3 is a lot more marketable. even though we all love n2, most likely will not appeal to the masses. it is like if they made an iP5 that is 5.5", i wouldn't expect it to outsell the iP5.
2.) i would. vzw touts superior coverage + better LTE speeds. they will just say this comes with the territory.
3.) 6 months? who knows when the N3 will be announced. if all goes according to the rumor mill about S4 we could expect that as early as march 2012. if they announced the n3 on the same timeline as the s4 (which obviously i doubt) then i bet many people will wait out for the n3. of course people who don't know may snatch up the note, but i'd bet those people are just up for upgrade and i'm placing my money on more people having upgrades available to them during late q3/early q4 opposed to early q1 where we see a lot less phones being released. obv. companies want to cash in during the holiday season.
4.) still not over >30 mil like the s3. the #'s are good for a phone this size, but then again maybe some people will switch after having a 5.5" phone on next upgrade since there are not many phones available on this size. i think the sweet spot now seems to be around 5"... the n2 is huge in comparison to most phones, even the s3.
5.) like you said, 10 mil sold and the only place you can really pick up a bigger variant is in kr/jp. samsung has advertised it in various nations in various sizes, but there is little to no reason why they advertise it coming in those sizes/not having any stock available. there was a guy who got torn apart in another part of this forum for creating a petition for samsung to release the bigger sized variants. i would say with the expandable memory most people will not care about this. i don't think many people are going to wait to upgrade 3-4 months for a bigger sized variant/it might not be worth it to release it later in terms of sales. it isn't like i said an ip5 or s3 which sell like hotcakes.

"
During the past two weeks I have spoken to two people in upper management at Verizon Wireless regarding the GN2 release. This post is for those that care about the conversation.
Both conversations happened with individuals no further than 3 levels down from the CEO. Keep in mind that many of the same questions were asked or mentioned multiple times and the same answer was not always repeated and thus I had to read between the lines.
Here is what I gathered.
Verizon did not sell the Note 1 (as we know) and was not confident enough that it would work on their network as planned so instead of releasing it when other carriers did, it instead allowed 1) field testers to use it for the past month as they have with much success and 2) allow US Cellular to sell the gray version (to test) since they share many towers.
Realizing the white version is much more popular, US Cellular is not allowed to release it until/after Verizon does (to avoid customers switching to US Cellular). Apparently Verizon and US Cellular share A LOT of towers and if you are in an area without VZLTE, USC may be a better option.
The release is targeted for Christmas shopping and VZ did not see enough demand to warrant releasing it any earlier (ie: prior to Thanksgiving). Given the comment that was made about needing to test the phone, I'm not sure this would have even been an option.
Throughout both calls, both mention that the phone will be released on the 27th and also will be shipped on the 27th but also mentioned that it will be released on the 29th. I purposely did not try to pin down a date since what we have heard is that it will ship by the 27th and release on the 29th. I'm not familiar with Verizon so I'm not sure if a Tuesday release is possible. The Droid DNA is to be released on November 21 so we know Wednesday is an option.
All of this does not help us get our phone any sooner but I ended both conversations felling more aware of why Verizon postponed the release and confident that it will be my next carrier on the 27/29th of November."

I was bored and looking on the Samsung website and I saw in the phone area that it shows that there is a white version of the Verizon s4 in a 32gb. I was just wondering if they sell it anywhere or was that just a generic post on Sammys part.

I may be wrong but I don't think Verizon carries them...I believe they are 32 GB s4s set up for Verizon that you have to purchase at full price from samsung
Ok I'm kinda thought so. I don't get why they don't have different options on the space size like apple but what can you do. It love my sammy. I would be better off getting the s5 play edition for that kind of money. Lol

Agreed. I bought my gs4 when it launched and only the 16gb was available at the time. Come to find out actual usable free space was closer to 9 gb which is why I am at odds with samsung right now. I love my phone, but need a 32 gb internal storage phone at the minimum! Using a 64 gb external sd card only goes so far as most app data is still stored on internal memory. At a crossroads here.

Agreed! I love my sammy but as you say 16 internal is becoming obsolete as del or cds. The note 3 came with 32gb and it's not the flagship or "the next big thing" so why would it get the bigger storage.

Thanks for the info...I didn't think anyone carried them as everywhere I went only had 16 GB versions...but after owning my 16 GB have never really needed anything more...but I'm also running CyanogenMod on mine which uses less than half of what stock touchwizz does
The 32GB version was on verizon's website which is where I got mine for $250.

I got mine through radio shack for 18$ after trading in my s3...that's probably why I never found a 32 GB one...I stopped looking after I found a deal like that

I'm such 'a pain in the neck', within one week I owed two Note8 phones, sent them back and finally now: I ordered a spankin' brand new 9+! See, once I designated the money some ten days ago, for that first, new, N8 for $650 during Amazon Prime I was the happiest dog on the face of Earth. Then came a big disappointment, that phone would not pass Google's integrity, was uncertified and had very spotty BT, couldn't play music in my car. It went back and I ordered the N8 DS International for which I'm still waiting 4 days on, no show. I'm in contact w/ Amazon, told them about the deceptive trackin'/emails the '3 party' vendor is sending to me since. I mean, a classic 'buyers beware' situation. They advertised that phone for $620 under AmazonPrime partnership as a new phone, blah, blah. So I told Amazon now it's their responsibility if they're allowing 3 party people to do such a diversions. They agreed, I will get my money back and when the phone shows up, I'd just send it back right away. And I will get a one month of free Prime for my trouble. (Late delivery)
Now, "the happy days are here again", I ordered the S9+ unlocked, (has the lte band 71) directly from Samsung: 128GB(only$50 over the 64GB:laugh:
What helped me to make this move was this promotion-deal: Chromebook 3 11.6” (32GB Storage, 4GB RAM) for 29.99, so am hoping to sell it in orig. pckge on eBay for at least $150-170 to smooth over the $950 price for the S9+(incl.tax). Got free MicroSDXC EVO Plus Memory Card w/ Adapter 128GB with it, too.
So, decisions -decisions, I think I've made a good one, I usually stay with one phone for several years. I'll be seeing you around our Galaxy!
No matter how bad it gets, I'll NEVER give up a Note for a S+ device. I can not give up my S-Pen.
I'm sorry to hear about the difficulty you went through. Had I been in your shoes, I'd have traded in my Note8 for a Note1 before going to a S9+

I really wanted that N8 but got frustrated with amazon vendors making you believe that you're buying a "new" phone, as I tried twice, and then it turns out to be a lemon(x2). Official Samsung price was still around $950 for the N8 and with that am't of bucks to part with I had to do some reasoning in my head.
For S9+, 128GB, next gen Soc, better camera(didn't know for sure about that then - buy it really is great) and a few other things, the sticker price was $890(+$60tax) including about $250 of 'perks': a 128GB redEvo SD and 32GB Chromebook. I put the chromebook on swappa and it took only 2 days to sell it for $170, shipped it out earlier this morning and my final, total price (state tax included) for S9+ w/ 128GB SD ended up @ $840
I'd agree with your reasoning, but I know that I'd soon want to get something with an S-Pen.
