Some Galaxy Note II units are shipping without the split screen multitasking feature

I'd assume it would be part of the phone when it launches in the US. Its just an issue since it just launched. Guess they just made this update as they were doing final boxing and only some units got it. No worries.

Right!! Ive never said this, but this phone is sexy lol. You can call it weird, but it worth noticing that Samsung may want you to jkeep this phone well beyond the time your capable of upgrading

Most people keep phones for at least a uear before they upgrade or buy another at full price. This is the type of phone you can keep until the wheels fall off............maybe lol

+1 on expecting the U.S. units of the GN II to ship with dual-screen multi-tasking. With this latest news, I will definitely be getting the GN II. No wonder Apple is wanting to get sales bans in place against Sammy. Sammy is eating Apple's lunch. First the GS III, now this. I can't wait to see the look on the faces of my friends who got iP5s when I pull out the GN II and show them the dual-screen multi-tasking.

Jealousy Gallito. It's always been pure jealousy. iPhone users just know how to mask it properly.

Right said ilia...

Some iPhone users aren't as good as others at masking their jealousy. I know a few who were downright envious when I would see e-mail attachments before they could courtesy of LTE service.

Now they will continue to be envious when I am composing a response while keeping the attachment open on the other window.

why jealousy if I wanted an Android trust me I can buy one. is my decision to stick with Apple...it seems that is hard for people like you to understand that there are people that don't like big screen that constantly lag.. but hey they multitask.. wow

Gallito - the GS3 does many things. But one thing it simply can't do. It can't lag. No matter what you do.

dude unfortunately you're wrong, i have a galaxy s3 quadcore and my brother an iphone 5. s3 is so smooth coming out of the box but as you use it it shows occasional lags like scrolling on pages, zooming in/out of photos and you have to kill apps every now and then. however, capacitive buttons react better than my xperia s. as for iphone 5, it's also smooth when it's brandnew, 4 days of using and double clicking the home button shows lag as well. playing graphics intense game however is better in iphone 5. take grand theft auto for example (bcoz there is no infinity blade on the play store)

lol, talking about jealousy... samsung almost always include iPhone in their ads...
those flowy multitask is just an ads, in reality it will be laggy, and you'll be very lucky if it doesn't freeze on you...there's not enough 'butter' from google for all those droids :D

contrary to some reports, there are reports of many i5s being returned for galaxy devices.

I hope one day there are real numbers on the return rate.

Apple fanatics love the i5. People that know jack squat love the i5. People that look around, do comparisons, or pay attention at all rarely go for an i5.

you write alot but show no evidence like usual of what you say... making it .. your own opinion..

55. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)

lmao that coming from you, who believes everything apple say is fact

android and lag....thats no longer valid, maybe 3 years ago it was, you know the same time that the iphone was an actually competitor...no longer the case now

76. BillyG (Posts: 305; Member since: 24 Sep 2012)

yeah, by many you probably means < 20 out of 5 millions right?

59. THETECHTEAM (Posts: 82; Member since: 12 Dec 2011)

They do care believe me. Cause they want what we can do on androids that's why they jailbreak them. So yes they do care!

You are talking as if Note 2 is quite a bit bigger than SGS3.

21. AliNSiddiqui (Posts: 382; Member since: 19 Sep 2012)

There is a huge difference of 0.7 inches... it is super noticeable dude... especially in your hands... this is a great device but too big for my taste...

51. remixfa (Posts: 14600; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)

im on the fence about the size. I thought the SGS3 was a little big. Not sure if I can stomach the Note2 though it has everything I want... IN THE US VERSION.. WOO HOO!!.
lol

The ONLY thing that I can find to bitch about is its size since I dont know if I can deal with it. For me, thats amazing. I find too many flaws in pretty much every phone that disqualify it from personal purchase.
The only other american phone I've had super low complaints about for its time, is my SGS1 that I'm still using.
Im not a fan of compromise at $600+. :)

size and build quality make it a definite no when thinking back to what HTC offers.....

Breathe, hide your frustration/jealousy/envy and relax.

Ive never seen a high end samsung device lag. Even my brothers 2 yr old sgs1.

14. SleepingOz (unregistered)
