i think im getting the prime regardless.. lol. the HD screen and ICS will be enough to tide me over for now. Been playing with the SGS2 hercules.. i think thats as big as i want to go for phone dementions.

Well, they both have HD screens. So, you're real reason for getting the Prime would be ICS and a smaller screen size. Although if the most recent rumors of the Prime are true (TI OMAP processor), the Note would then be the more powerful than the Prime.
One of the things I cannot wait for is Samsung's ChatOn service which is premiering with the Note.

there's two things you're missing, LTE and the contacts on the side that are rumored to connect to a larger Tablet.

If you look up the specifications for the Galaxy Note it has the option of HSPA+ and LTE. Also, the need for a tablet wouldn't be there if you had the Note.

it doesn't mean that it'll come to the States with it. plenty of phones can use LTE but they won't for some reason or the other. i'm sure plenty of people would rather have the versatility of a smaller phone that can become a full sized tablet than meeting somewhere in the middle although the Note will please some people who want just that.

Oh, dont get me wrong, I like the note, but without actually playing with it, I think it might actually be too big, even for me. Like i said, just going off the hercules demensions which are smaller than the note's, thats about as big as i can go and be comfortable.
Also, many of the rumors are now pointing to the Exynos 4212 chip being in the Prime. We will find out for sure on the 19th finally though.
That and I think i just want the constant updates that nexus's bring. No more update drama.. id always be updated. :)

You must be high if you think the Nexus Prime will be Verizon exclusive.

it's supposed to be an exclusive for a limited time, with the other carriers getting it later.
Nexus phones being exclusive to a carrier isn't anything new.

It won't be. Verizon has not done anything to deserve exclusivity of the phone for any period of time over other carriers. T-Mobile got excusivity because they were the first to carry Android when no one else would and they are still a very strong supporter of the platform. Google will not ignore their relationship with T-Mobile for Verizon's deep pockets. After all, Verizon subscribers like you that overpay for service are the reason they deep pockets at all.

News flash... the DROID brand did more to spur the growth of Android in the US than any other. So while T-Mobile may have been the first, Verizon helped push it mainstream. All they need do to deserve a Nexus is lay off the bloatware.

Implying the Nexus S wasn't exclusive with Sprint for the longest time, and technically still is as you can only buy the AT&T version through Best Buy.

the Nexus S came out for T-Mobile first and then came to Sprint w/ WiMAX a few months later.

You're right I was thinking of another phone. WHOOPS!

verizons doing a droid upgrade thing that if you stay loyal to android you get earlier upgrades. They do deserve it.

And Verizon has put out more Droid phones than anyone else. What's your point?
There's more money to be made with Verizon. If Sammy and Google see money it, and Verizon's willing to pay for an exclusive, they're going to do it.
It's not like Nexus phones have been exclusive forever. AT&T has one and so does Sprint.
Don't let your hate for Verizon cloud your judgment. It comes down to money - nothing more, nothing less.
