would you like to hop into the quad krait bandwagon remix? hehe I have my eye on that LG superphone though.

nope. I dont throw down final judgement until we get commercially released reviews and benchmarks. We have a good idea of what to expect with the note2.. the LG still has a bit of "faith" involved that they've upped their game.

The Note2 is still probably too big for me. I'd have to play with it. The note1 just looked like it would be annoying in my pocket.

remixfa there is nothing coming out with a E5 this year. They didn't even mention that mystery tablet they were talking about.

Quad-core S4 Krait Pro is coming out in 2012 the E5 dual-core is 2013. I figure sometime before Q2 ends. For the quad-core E5 it looks like it's going to be this time next year.

Wow Qualcomm has the mobile processor on lock this year & next year.

Q is always first out of the gate. Thats their advantage and Achilles heel at the same time. They get lots of excitement and a space of time all to themselves, then they get pummeled by the other chips being more powerful.

Nope, that was my best hope for an E5. Unless there is another surprise, It looks like by Q2 is now my best guess as well. BOOOOOOOOOOOO.

I just need a device im excited for... none of them are good enough for my $$ yet. I dont want to compromise on jack.

remixfa if you think like that you will never get anything. Remember nothing is ever the best for long.

Just think of it this way, (I know it helps me) everything you buy in theory is already obsolete because if it's out in a store that means that the OEM is already working on or is about to release something more kickass than that.

thats why the last phone I bought was the SGS1. It was exactly what I wanted. strongest specs, best screen, lots of development (though since i got it day 1, i didnt know that would happen... but i had faith :) ), and a surprisingly agile 5mpx camera which was still considered top end at the time.

I would have gotten the S2 or the S3 had they not been reduced to reject status by the chip trade out and power compromises... the quality issues of the S3 are a bit of a turn off as well.

I'll get what I want and exactly what I want. If I'mma shell out 600 for a phone its going to be darn near perfect. :)

I will wait until the multiple nexus announcements that are around the bend, that is my next great "hope" for a device that really gets my engine running. I will "settle" for a Krait quad or maybe even Pro if the rest of the device is perfect, otherwise I'll likely be holding out for an E5.

I love the idea of the Note2 and its features, but its a bit too big for me. Kinda spoiled by how thin, light, and pocket friendly my Vibrant is. I literally have to check my pockets half the time to make sure its still there because I dont feel it.

I am a tech nut. Cant help it. Its like OCD. You think I know as much as I do because it floats into my brain at night? lol. Always lookin, researching, comparing. Shyyyt, im supposed to be studying my Med/Surg book right now and im here yackin about new tech instead. lol

buy what? the note2? I just said its prob still to big for me :) I'd have to handle it to see though.
Way too picky. Cant help it. I'm one of those guys that researches every tech/car/ect buy to death, pouring over comparisons and reviews for days before i make a purchase.

I know. I am impressed Samsung released it with Jellybean, not ICS. Great phone with huge screen, redesigned stylus, latest Android on board, best specs on market, can't really complain.

Aside from the lawsuits, it is has been a fabulous year for Sammy. Wish them luck.

For us Note users, the Note 3 will be our upgrade. At least that's what I'm going to do. I will skip 2 and wait for 3. I'm also disappointed because There's no Note 2 with WP8...

It technically has a lower pixel count, but it uses the RGB matrix instead of Pentile, so it should actually look clearer than the Note 1's screen despite the lower pixel count. And then there's Jelly Bean, Touchwiz UX, OC quad Exynos (the best out right now), 2 GB RAM which make it almost guaranteed 2 years worth of updates, and the advanced S-Pen abilities... I'd say it's a pretty decent upgrade.

They would probably release later on other color options just like on the galaxy s 3

"While we were waiting with bated breath for Samsung to announce an HD Plus screen, meaning a regular RGB matrix, it seems to have quietly gotten rid of the typical PenTile arrangement with the Note II, yet employed something different than standard RGB stripes."

It's not Pentile, but it's different from standard RGB.
