Since I'm selling my laptop and gettings a desktop I'm now seriously thinking about getting either the Galaxy Notes or the Tab 7.7. I'm really undecided though.
Since I already have the GS2 I would sell it if I got the Notes, so this would probably be the least expensive solution. But since this phone is not sold in Brazil there is no way of knowing if I will find it too big to use it as a phone on a day to day basis.
On the other hand if I was to buy the Tab 7.7 I would keep the GS2 and use each device for it's specific purpose (the Tab for navigating around the house, watching videos when I travel and the GS2 for everyday use as a phone and for watching video and listening to music when I go to work).
What do you guys think?
P.S - I've looked for the price on both and I could only find the price on the Note on Ebay for around 800us$
Galaxy s2 + tab 7.7
Accidentally sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA Premium
Keep the phone and buy the 7.7 tab
Hi everyone, I have been stung now three times buying S-Pens, they all seem to be fake. From Hyper Direct Ltd online to twenty_four_seven_shop on eBay.
Ebay one was awful, button didn't work, tips not removable, while the Hyper Direct one was very convincing - only realised when there was no pressure sensitivity.
Amazon too seems full of fakes and Samsung itself don't carry them anymore. So can anyone recommend a reputable shop that doesn't sell fakes, or fakes that are pressure sensitive!!!
Thanks
John
The NotePro Spen is identical to the one in the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition, so you can also look for that one.
(The Note 3 pens are shorter and will get stuck in the Spen slot. But they do work.)
An option is to simply walk into a Samsung Service Center and ask the staff. They can usually dig up an old Note 10.1 2014(!) pen somewhere, as those were far more popular.
Alternatively, if you don't mind keeping it separate, you can also buy the Wacom Bamboo Feel For Galaxy Note.

Thanks for that,
Didn't know service centres were open to the public like that. Ill try and find one here in Belfast.
The bamboo feel is also very hard to find here in the UK and at least £30 not including postage from US. So I can't really justify that price.
Thanks

Should be listed here: http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/support-centres/#nearestStore
Sometimes they're inside provider shops, but they're independent stores.
Ah, yes, the Bamboo it is quite expensive. I paid 30 euro's for it two years ago at Staples, and that was just the basic, not the Carbon. They're made by Wacom, so it's not really surprising.
I don't think they make the Bamboo Feel anymore, the new one is the Bamboo Smart For Samsung Galaxy Note. Still bloody pricey, though.

The smart is not certified for the note pro I'm afraid.

Anything that works on a Note 3 works on a NotePro. They're identical (in terms of specs).
Did not know that - that might make it easier.
Samsung centre quoted me at least £30 for a replacement stylus, and interestingly, about £30 for an original 30 pin cable for an old 10.1 2012 note I have!!
Not the greatest advert for Samsung ever!

Hello my fellow Aussies,
This thread is an open discussion from the day you've ordered your Note 7!
Feel free to share ideas like roms, tips, accessories, past & current experiences etc.
Having created a thread like this for my Galaxy S6 it was a great place for information, ecspecially for software/carrier updates.
I'll start off by saying that I'm very excited to owning my first Galaxy Note. Reason for changing to the Note is the awesome design, bigger screen & battery life, which was terrible on the S6. I've pre-ordered it in black, because once you go black your gonna need a wheel chair (White Chick's movie joke) ??
And also ordered the Spigen neo hybrid crystal clear case.
Hi, great idea!
All threads i read are US based....mainly.
I have ordered my Black note 7 direct through Samsung online, so at the moment due to arrive 19th. I wish it would ship early....but highly doubt it.
I have also ordered genuine Samsung screen protector and a clear case. Not sure if i will like the case, had one on my Note 5, and didn't like the feel in hand.
Has anyone seen an OUTRIGHT pre-order deal that has the gear fit 2?

No. Only deals I've seen available to AUS have the 256GB Micro SD card. I was personally hoping for a Gear VR deal
Anyone going to get the Dubai dual sim model?

I was in two minds about colour. My Note 5 I got in Silver, for something diffferent. I like i, but i dont like how prominest marks are, i have a clear film cover on the back and any scratches/marks show up a lot. This time i have opted for the Black on the Note 7
just pre-ordered mine from Telstra with the SD card, I decided to get the black one. It is a thing of beauty.
Sadly still need to wait 9 more days
Fingers are crossed for early shipping!!
I eagerly awaiting June 19th.
I pre-ordered a black one on Sunday and they that I would get a case and screen protector besides 256GB SD-Card.
I also got a SGP Neo Hybrid Gunmetal case 5 days ago.

Where did you order the Samsung screen protector from? Cause I went on the Samsung website and didn't see a buy option. Unless I didn't look hard enough lol

Sweet thanks man ?
I initially ordered one from buymobile then read some reviews on them and went into panic mode and cancelled the order. It was $200 cheaper than Samsung and Hardley Normal but no MicroSD deal so I cancelled it pretty much straight away. I want warranty with this phone and I think with the outright buy price it's worth having warranty although I never needed it with my international Note 4 I got through yatango. Never needed it on any handsets, touch wood.
I then went to the Samsung site and black onyx was sold out so I ordered one from Harvey Norman. 8 or 9 days left but not counting. Much. lol
Have ordered a UAG cover in black for the 7. I've had them on my last two Samsungs and they are brilliant cases, a little bulky but saved me a few times with a few drops, pretty good asset if you ask me.''Really interested in what model of handset we will get, starting to think it's the end of ROMs for me but you never know and that's why I'm still here.
I have to admit that I was extremely disappointed that Samsung Australia opted not to bring the Coral Blue color and for me this was a deal breaker, after waiting so long to replace my Note Edge and eagerly reading every single leak from eveleaks and onleaks and looking at the beautiful blue color that was rendered by eveleaks and was voted as the most popular color in a poll that was done by Ausdroid and they decide not to bring it....for once you could choose a different color than the usual boring silver/black/atrocious gold and they opted not to bring it grrrrrr!!!! damn you Samsung Australia!!!! I was ready to forgive for not having 6gb of RAM and 4000mAh battery as was leaked heavily months before the launch but not to bring the blue color was the deal breaker, you've stuffed it up S.A!!!
4000 megahertz battery huh? That's a pretty high frequency.

Wow, Black sold out on the AUS Samsung site? Glad i got in early there.
Same as you, on my internations Note 5 that i got online, they did have a warranty, but never had to use it. I looked at buying the note 7 from the same international supplier, but it was only $200 cheaper and i though to myself if anything does go wrong, i can go straight back to Samsung without any huge issues.
Do we know if the 930G is the Australian specific model?
Sold my Note 9 last night for the equivalent of 640 USD in my local currency. The retail price of the S10+ is 995 USD, but there's a pre-order cashback for about 70 USD, and the free Galaxy Watch (not Active, just a 42mm Watch) will help cover the difference. Never really cared much for the S Pen anyway; bought the Note 9 because of the massive battery and it was starting to disapppoint in that regard. Until the S10+ comes, I'll be back to my S7 (flat). Anyone else upgrading from the Note 9 to the S10+?
I also traded in my Note 9 EXynos for the S10+ 128gb Blue Unlocked Snapdragon! I never used the spen... ??
I always say I'm going to skip one of the models each year and I never do. I'm going from Note 9 to S10+ as well.

I can tell from your username lol.
Seems like an unnatural upgrade path unless you didn't rely on the S Pen. But then that raises the question, why buy a Note at all? I'm trading my Note 8 and plan on selling the S10 (waiting for N10). In the meantime I'll try to find a cheap N4 to sketch on.
Doing the dame thing here. Pre booked the 128/8Gb Prism White.
Preordered the s10 128gb version. As i live in Australia, I'll be getting the exynos variant.
For preordering, samsung is throwing galaxy buds on top for free - not bad at all.
Im interested to see how the snapdragon and the exynos versions compare in terms of performance. Will be upgrading from an A5 2017 which i have been barley using a year
trading in my note 9 for the s10+ white ceramic. I always wanted and liked the s pen but i still hardly use it. Bought the 10+ from samsung, unlocked. I was gonna give my note 9 to my gf but she's tired of the hand me downs ?. Maybe I'll get her the note 10
Doing the same with my note 9 for the plus will probably get the note 10 as well
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Me too!
I just sold my note 9 to pick up the s10. I wanted a slightly less wide phone and barely used the s-pen. The S10 feels just right! I hope the battery is the same or better.
Same here. Leaving my note 9 to s10+.
I love the note serie. But the s10+ is a good compromise between note and galaxy serie. Plus the battery is massive and hopefully it feels this way.
I gave my two months old Note 9 to my younger brother and bought a new S10+ in blue I have to rock the S8 now and trade it in later
Same deal here. Sold my Note 9 and pre ordered the S10 plus 1TB in ceramic black.
Note 9 prices are in the toilet.
I ordered the S10 plus but am also keeping my copper Note 9...no way Im getting rid of this beauty!
Keeping my T-Mobile Note 9 but I'm gonna be using my S10E until I buy an Exynos Note 10 sometimes around February next year when prices will be right. I can't do this unlockable Samsung phone anymore since Google killed call recording. I can still do it on my Oreo Note 9 (not updating it anymore) and I still have my rooted One Plus 6T so call recording is still in my hands when I need it.
Reason I ordered the 10E is because of how great it felt in the hand when I was testing out the display unit at Best Buy last week. Just going to be nice to use a smaller phone like that for a while and get used to the new UI stuff, that great new camera stuff and the awesome new display tech.
The S-Pen is the main reason why I've been a Note user literally since the AT&T Note 1, so that's why I'm keeping the Note 9 around in case I get the itch to use it again. Plus, I have my Tab S4 which also has its own S-Pen.
I traded my Note 9 for the S10+. I'll probably still buy the Galaxy Note 10 too! :laugh:
I am trading in my note 8 for the plus, but I will always love the note series. I suspect I will be just as anxious to get the note 10 when it's announced and will probably give the wife the 10+ at that point and go back to the note series. You all know the note 10 is gonna be amazeballs

Went to pre-order on the Samsung website and it's only showing the 128GB version available. Spoken to Samsung on Live Chat and apparently it's the only version available in the UK?!
Probably not sure when it will be available here in Australia but I am really excited if I end up picking this up I may start work on getting a device tree and twrp built and work on developing custom roms.
i preordered the plus version yesterday in germany with 256 gb but wifi only. will i see if i can support some custom roms for it i think good base is what jesec was doing for s20

I talked with samsung and the biggest e-commerce in norway. I was told that for some countries it takes some time before the 256gb model is available. According to Komplett.no it should be available here in norway soon for preorder
I pre-order yesterday the S7+ 128GB Wifi Black by the Samsung site in the Netherlands.
I was looking forward to ordering the S7+ with 4G/5G with 8GB and 256GB storage but guess what? It's not available in the UK only the 6GB 128GB model which is inferior to my Tab S6 so I'm going to pass on this model which is a shame. What is wrong with Samsung UK?!!!
Same here - I won't be buying one in the UK until Samsung release the 8GB RAM version. I imagine that may never happen, though, as they never released the higher spec Tab S4 in the UK either.
This will bring me back to sammy after Huawei screwed its US based customers on the M5 series. My prior device was the Note Pro, and i loved it, but no new support and ROMs were iffy.
I've been holding on to my Pro 12.2 for years now and just sold it on Ebay. I'll use the proceeds to order my S7+ once it is available in the US. I wonder if Samsung will give a trade in allowance for the S4, which is a great tablet.
Pre ordered the s7+ 8gb 256 gb with the keyboard cover for just 1034 euro. The original book cover comes free with this tab as a promtion in the Netherlands.
It is available now in the US to be reserved on samsung.com, looks like the only incentive is a $35 instant credit for accessories. I definitely want it but want to see if anyone else has better offers
Just put in my pre-order for the wifi 128 gb Plus in grey. They also offered a $300 Trade in for my Sprint S4 and a small military discount which will go toward taxes.
Since it's just a sign up for a pre-order, there's no downside to ordering and then not completing the order if you find a better deal elsewhere.
I'm trading in my tab s6 and getting 450 for it, I only spent 500 when I bought it so i'm happy. Reserved tab s7+ 256 mystic silver for 408$. Tbh I'm still a little worried about the size. 10.5 inches was already BIG though I did get used to it. Hope I get used to the s7+ as well.
I'm sure we will get a pre order bonus, I just wish it was coming out sooner. Sucks we have to wait so much longer than in the US.
Just saw on Samsung's website, least from the US side $300 credit on a Trade in for the S4...
Truly hoping I can get the 256GB model here before the end of the month at Best Buy (release supposedly Friday). Get 10% off the device then can just sell the S4 out right.
pre order the bronze s7+ tab in Singapore. only delivering from 7th September. black one started delivering
I have ordered the S7+ in bronze. Due for delivery today ?
Really looking forward to it. Hope the increase in size isn't overbearing but it's smaller (just) than my surface pro so it should be ok.

Isn't it a free book cover? ie not the keyboard cover?
I'm also getting mine tomorrow (Monday) and I also made the mistake of thinking the pre-order gift was the Keyboard Cover as well but nope it's just the Book Cover so I'll probably end up going for the Game Pack as the pre-order gift and then maybe buy the Urban Armor Gear Metropolis Protective Case for the S7+ instead. There really aren't that many decent cases out for the S7+ yet, I'm seeing plenty for the S7 but not many for the S7+ so the Urban Armor Gear case is the most decent one I've seen so far. £70 though which is about the same price as the Book Cover would be.
