I can get one for a slight discount at wm and wanted to know how worth it is a nook color? Is it easy to flash or more difficult than a phone. Just need some opinions. Thanks so much!

Basically the easiest thing you can root. Burn an image to your SD card with a couple clicks then drag over a couple files the stick it in and go through the flashing process. Completely unbrickable as long as you dont break the SD slot.

I'm going to go for a refurb with one year warranty and an sd image I have no reason to not get. Getting next week when I get paid. Just curious how is the performance in.cm7? How is 3D performace? Decent over clocking options? Sorry for the questions! Just trying to justify it when i have this phone. This tab is just so cheap and so much development! The answers are appreciated! Thanks so much.

I don't know much about 3D performance but with mine overclocked to 1.2GHrz I see no problem or lag with any game I've thrown at it. You can even play the games made for Tera CPUs using Chainfire. Most Nooks overclock to 1.2GHrz just fine.

Thanks so much! Do you know what you score quadrant? And with sd install its much eaer to revert.of you have issues and need warranty exchange correct?

Make sure bearing in mind that the NC is a pure e-reader that can be turned into tablet.
Must know that it has no hdmi, no gps, can't make phone call, no camera whatsover, .....
For 150 i can't be picky! Just making sure its worth it. I'll prob just do sd install for safety. Thanks for the help everyone I'm defnitely geting one next week. Is there anything like some models are incompatible with sd boot or anythng? Or if i order a refurb from b&n on ebay will I be all ready to go?

If you decide to run off the uSD, get the legit Sandisk class 2 or 4
Alright thanks. Would you reccomend actually flashing

I would recommend flashing to internal because it is much easier to upgrade, back-up, and troubleshoot. Also it is more stable. Check out the Link in my Sig to get started. You can always return to stock by just making a clockwork card as the Nook has SD boot priority.

I looked into it as the LTE was very tempting, however, the processor was a deal breaker for me. I'll wait until AT&T has a Samsung phone with an Exynos processor and LTE. Good Luck and enjoy your note. Its still a good phone.
Nevermind...

Had the Streak 5, good phone but I sold it to buy SGS2. I would not trade my SGS2 for a Streak even though I miss the 5" screen.
Buddy of mine just got a note and although the screen is amazing, my SGS2 just feels more speedy. I would trade for a note, but they would need $50 extra to convince me.

Its just most of us are here cause we like our phones, if you go to the note they will tell you they love the phone.
If you go to another section its going to be the same thing for the most part.
Go to the store, play with it for a good amount of time and see if you like it.
Personally I thought it was too big for me.
You can always try it out and see if you like it. I still think its a little too big but that's me. Everyone's opinions will be subjective. If your going for the international version that will be a different story. The AT&T version might not have as much support.

Isn't their return policy 30 days with a $35 restocking fee? If your willing to eat that, than yes, I'd definitely at least try it out. Other than LTE and a huge display I don't really see what this phone offers over the OG Galaxy SII? The screen isn't Super AMOLED Plus, its got that pentile display which isn't as nice. But you never know until you try it. Hang onto your GSII just in case.

It is. Super AMOLED only I believe. But they changed it because it offers a higher resolution, like the Galaxy Nexus.

Playing with my buddy's skyrocket I noticed a lag throughout the home screens. It wasn't bad by any means but it kind of felt like it couldn't keep up. The OG SII had no problem. Games will also perform better on the exynos processor as well.
For some its not a deal breaker. You be the judge.

Then you should be fine. Are you upgrading to the Note or buying it off contract? If so, I would't get it from AT&T, as you'll pay an arm and a leg.
Is anyone planning to upgrade their device and is looking for a replacement to their current phone? What would it be? And why? I'm planning in a few months so I could use some opinions!!

I've been using IncS for just over a year now. I still think my phone is pretty good and fast for me. Now with ICS, it's even better. I believe it can at least last for another year.
Changed phone to one x. Nice ICS.

Was all in for one s but found the coating chipped problem on the black version, so decide to wait and see.
To me, give my IS duo core, a little better camera (It's already quite good), I will be happily stick with it for another year, it is just so overall nice compare to other phone.

Duo/Quad core with slightly better GPU and I'll use it for another 3 years.
My phone is currently with HTC service for changing USB port /mainboard. Depending on the condition it comes back,I'm sticking with my current phone.
Edit.
I mean I intend to stick with my IncredibleS. Served me well for a year, still has good value & mileage to last for another year,easily.

I just got my phone back from HTC, I sent it in because my power button was a bit dodgy, and my warranty is running out
Anyway I got it back, more than a month later, and it had a new motherboard, s-on with HBOOT 2.00.000
I had planned to sell it, and buy an Evo 3D, but after I took pictures for ebay, I decided to keep it, and I downgraded and rooted it
As soon as ICS arrives, I will be happy

Like everyone would ask!! If you used your one x as much you use incredible s daily what is the battery life you get??
Sent from my Incredible S using Tapatalk
Nexus Family is one of the best candidates.
My friend moved from InS to Galaxy Nexus for a month, And he told me that he wouldn't buy any other brand but Nexus.
The only current phone I would upgrade to would be the One S, and right now I have no plans to retire my Incredible S for the foreseeable future.

Well my IncS sure had a better battery life.
I would like my onex's battery to last longer, but I can live with it.
And the speed and smoothness is so much greater on this one. And I am running completely stock and not even rooted.
Also I am one of the lucky ones having almost none of the reported issues with the OneX.
So its clearly an upgrade I would recommend

The rezound is a Verizon US only phone.
My contract ends this time next year :/
IMO the galaxy s 3 looks ugly, if I wanted something else I would get a one s
It just looks good, fast, and cos the one x is too big
Looking to buy a new phone soon, and just wanted your views on whether this phone has gone aged.

You could also consider the i9001 (Galaxy S Plus), which looks exactly the same as the i9000 but has quite different hardware. At least on paper it's quite a bit better and not nearly as expensive as an SII. I've got one of those and am really happy with it
Yes but the i9001 only has slightly faster CPU and slower graphics you can easily set the i9000 to the same clock speed as the i9001

A rooted Galaxy S I9000 is still pretty good, but if you can afford it I recommend you the Xiaomi MI-2.
I personally think that the i9000 is a great phone. It was my first Galaxy class and is still with me
I rooted the phone and switched over to running JellyBean (SlimRom version) and think it is just great. I do prefer the S2 just because it is that much faster, but finding it hard to part with my trusty original
Good all round phone but a little slow on some of the major games (I believe - though cannot vouch for that)
My friends, I'm thinking that I really need a tablet to complement my SGN2. I don't want to close any option before I hear from you. I'm an advance user, and I'm looking for something that really gives me more that my sgn2. I used to have an iPad I sold it because only my children were using it to play around, but since the anounncement that office 365 was out in USA, I'm thinking to get me an iPad mini. Another choice might be an w8 tablet, since I want it only to get my job done (lots of reports and presentation, microsoft dominates my working environment). I was thinking also to let go my SGN2, get an HTC one and buy a note 10'. What do you think?? Please help me out here.

It's a work based tablet. You shouldn't be buying a tablet for work though
I am using galaxy note 8.0 and HTC one. You just can't get wrong with the combination.
