because one year later, they going to release Note II for T-Mobile user...

it'd be a shame if that were the case.
it would actually be ironic if Verizon got the Note II right off the bat (with the typical little Verizon delays of course) and T-Mobile had to wait for the Note to have adequate exclusive shelf time. xD

because they could get some quick sales off of it. ATT had a 6 month exclusive on the Note.

That said.. why would u buy it when the SGS3 is sitting beside it? The S4 chip is bad enough.. but to buy a $250 phone with an S3 crapdragon in it? Hell no.

If it were exynos, I'd buy it.

that's what i'm saying. xD

it just couldn't be an original Note at all.
not with an S3.
not with an Exynos 4210.
the SIII just completely outweighs any variant of the original Note.

It's ashame it has an S3 processor; I have a friend who just returned his GS3 (yesterday) because I told him this would be coming out on August 6th or 7th (okay, I was off 1 day).

I'm still waiting on the G-Note 2 on Verizon :)

9. KingKurogiii posted on 30 Jul 2012, 11:41 1

he should've stuck with the SIII.

He has a "size" fetish; like many of us. Agreed, the processor and ppi should be better on the Note (especially for what it's supposed to be).

He paid full retail so, either way, he's not locked into a term contract.

The Note is very similar to the SGS3. Camera is slightly different but other things are very close.

They are not very different. RAM is more on the SGS3, however, Screens are very similar and 99% of people will not notice the difference. The resolution is better on the Note. SGS3 has fast burst on the camera, which I already mentioned. I have a Note and had the opportunity to get the SGS3 via ATT at no cost and still took the Note. When you root and rom your Note with Rom's like CM9 and soon CM10 performance is great.

Lastly, most people don't care about the latest and greatest when a previous model is still good, so its not stupid for T-Mo to get this device. Common people are still going with the SGS2 because of cost and other reasons. The SGS2 is still a great phone.

dude...you're wrong. the SIII and the Note have processors as different as night and day. the SIII is immensely more powerful than the Note and while screens are mostly the same the SIII uses a more refined version of the HDSA Display at the SAME resolution as the Note. the only advantage the Note has at all is the extra half inch it has on the display front. is it worth it? when considering the trade-offs hell noooooo...

The international Note was announced and released in 2011. The AT&T Note was released earlier this year. It will be a while before the Note II comes to the US. Their are many people who are interested in the Note on T-mobile, look at all the videos on youtube of people going through alot just to hack their AT&T Note on T-mobile network. It will do just fine.

I doubt the NOTE II will be released on Verizon, their has been rumors that they are working with HTC and LG to release something similar.

8. KingKurogiii posted on 30 Jul 2012, 11:40 1

it was a while before the SII came to the US too but Samsung made sure that didn't happen with the SIII so it would be safe to assume that they've taken the same precautions with the Note II. anyone that's smart wouldn't take a Note over an SIII. anyone that buys a Note now is pretty much screwing themselves.

just because HTC and LG are releasing Phablets on Verizon doesn't mean that Verizon doesn't want a slice of what Samsung is offering, especially after the heat they got for not offering the original Note which was supposedly coming as the Journal if i'm not mistaken.

The Note and the SIII are in two different categories of phones. I don't understand why people continue to compare these two. Would you compare a Note to an iPhone, im sure that answer would be a NO.

you mean because the screen is half an inch larger? don't be ridiculous. next you're going to tell me that the SIII isn't comparable to 4.3" devices and btw yes, everything gets compared to the iPhone. bad example.

Thumbs up if you want our Note II to be able to dual boot with Windows 8 and Jelly Bean...It would blow Apple in big times :)

4. KingKurogiii posted on 30 Jul 2012, 11:16 1

yeah, it's a Note, it has an S3. that's why i've been saying to not even bother with this.

15. e.wvu (unregistered) posted on 30 Jul 2012, 13:14 1

And yet, most people won't care that it has an S3 processor.

16. KingKurogiii posted on 30 Jul 2012, 13:14 0

they should.

Why should they? Most buyers don't even know the differences between the two processors.
