Hello all,
I'm due an upgrade in June and have my eye set on the Galaxy Note or the Galaxy S3. The one thing that compels me is the size of the screen on the Note, so I'm probably more inclined to the get the Note.
The only thing is, I don't want to buy the note and have the note 2 come out 2 months later, lol.
Maybe you guys can help me out here.

If you like to read and browse on a big screen then the note or the next iteration of the note is the solution. No contest there, anything less than 5 inch to me belongs to more of a phone. I am using the 4.7 inch HTC one x and the note, the 0.6 inch difference is missed when using the x. there are some occasion I wish a carry a smaller phone but on most occasion I am happy to fit the biggest size phone. The Samsung galaxy tab 7.7 on some occasion is perfect, yet the 5.3 for all occasion is perfect. Note 2 (700$~800$)won't be out international till November ish since that is when the original note got released. Buy note when possible keep it in good shape, resell and buy note 2. Dual core in euro note and lte note is adequate for most. So buy now and love life.

I agree - best phone on the market hands down... It's blazing fast, and there's really no need for quad core for any current use of a smartphone apart from tegra games, which you can run through chainfire. There has been no word of a note 2

get the note if you need/want the s-pen features.
Get the S3 is that's what it is, or get the Galaxy Nexus for ICS and JB
Don't wait for the Note 2 it wont be out till next year at the earliest.
There isn't any official information about the Note 2 yet, so you should go for either the Note or the upcoming S3.
Get the note, Samsung didnt realise how popular the note would be as such they never rolled it out quickly accross all the regions instead taking a staggered approach. The chances of a note 2 this year would be slim so enjoy what we have now
I think you should get the note if you love big screens like most of us here or get the S3 if you want more power and probably better spec which I am sure is going to be more expensive as well. But remember that there is always a better phone around the corner.
you should wait for the note 2
in the mean time use a string telephone
There is no announcement about the Note 2. Go buy the Note 1 now and skip a generation for the Note 3 and that way you'll always feel a significant upgrade.

What a pointless question! Should I get an existing only just released phone or wait for a fabled unicorn? Only you can answer that buddy. Personally, I'd go for a phone that is on the market (and amazing, by the way) rather than wait it out for the next generation which could still be years away!
S3 or Note - again only one of them is actually for sale (or has any firm specs) so you can't really make that decision either. If your contract is up in June, wait until then and see what is actually available at the time!
Pretty much everyone who has a Note will tell you how happy they are with it though. (Apart maybe the spoiled children who aren't happy we are having to wait for ICS )
Just get the Note. You could wait for Note 2, then for Note 3 etc. And the fact is that Note 1 is already amazing.
what about 3
You should wait for the note 3.... I dont understand people... You can also wait for the 4 i have heard it should be better...
Bought the Note now, it won't hurt you.
In matter of fact I do think this is one of my smartest decision i made. Definitely useable for work, for fun or just take a simple sketch

Whatever you buy and whenever you buy it, there's a always new model just around the corner, so there's no perfect time to buy. I can say that the Note is by far the best phone I've had - better than the S2 I had.

Hey guys!
Do you think it's too late for me to buy the galaxy note n7000 (international version)?
I know that the N7100 (Galaxy Note 2) has been released and will launch mid-October~mid-November..
It even has pre-orders started on UK sites such as clove.co.uk and handtec.co.uk
I'm just wondering if you think it's a waste of money to buy the n7000 right now as opposed to paying 200 more dollars and buying the N7100.
I did the math and the Note n7000 in brand new is $540 at expansys-usa.com
and the Note 2 N7100 in brand new is $740 at clove.co.uk, handtec.co.uk...
Do you think I should go with the original or the new one?
ALSO!!!!!
******Do you guys know if the original note N7000 will have an update along with Jellybean such as the airview, new camera update and other features from the N7100?
I think u should wait for note 2 if u have more money better hardwear and yes note 1 wilk have jelly bean update i think in nov likr in a month and half so its all ur choice
Development-wise, I'd say go for the original note. If you look at our forum here, we have ripe roms, kernels, mods, and tweaks what not that are sure to cater to everyone's tastes. That, plus It'll take a while for development to start with the note2. And if you'll have a look at azrienoch's latest vid, (if what he says does come through, which I really do hope does not) things aren't so rosy.

the new note won't get airview and won't get camera updates making it faster cause there are hardware improvements required for those updates.. You better buy the note 2
if you ask me this is just the right time to buy note if you find with reasonable price. because note just got a decent rom LRT. has enough hardware power and versus note 2 for me i prefer 1280 * 800 over 1280 * 720. but dont forget my reasonable price requirement. here in Turkey they still sell it from 880 USD.

if money is not an issue, I'd say you go for the Note 2. Clearly... it has all the best and right features that the original one has yet to get. Hardware wise.. the original one isn't even comparable enough (we'll unless you overclock it, but still.. it has a limitation to it). Software part.. the new Note 2 has the official stock TW JB 4.1 installed already... Something that all of us here using the original one is still yearning to use and experience. Yeah there are a lot of custom JB Roms out there... but nothing still beats the official JB that Samsung has released already for the new Note.
So yeah, Go for the Note 2.. that is the best recommendation I can offer you.
P.S. Don't ask for any ETA updates when Samsung will release the official JB, co'z it's anybody's guess when they're going to release it. It might be this next month.. or next year.. who knows.....
Its already been launced in India y'day and estore price $758 (offering free bluetooth headset)
But usally in open market you should get 15-20 $ less to it.
Indian user may get some benefit by raising Rs value to $ since 1wk, i think its at least 2.5Rs / $ in last 5 days. ultimately make cheaper Rs1500 or more.
Back to topic
In my point of view, Note 2 is worth to spend 200$ extra
I agree, You should ideally hang out for the Note 2 if you can afford it
Thats not to say the Note 1 is becoming obsolete ! The Note 1 is still an awesome device with plenty of life left in it.
And if you can get it for a great price, then you wouldnt regret it !
Im going to get the Note 2 and give the Note 1 to my misses. (she thinks she's getting the Note 2 because its her time for a renewal ! my my my, How wrong is she ! lol )
It's too early to buy the N7000. After the launch of the N7100 prices N7000 will decline significantly. If $ 200 is not a problem I would advise to buy N7100.
I got my Galaxy Note 2 weeks ago and very happy with it, The reason I didn't wait for the Note II is that I don't really need all the new features of the Note II.
As I said before my Note serves all my needs and also the new apps added in the latest ICS 4.0.4 makes the Note alot better and smoother.
At the end it is personal preferences.
Regards

Once jellybean will added to note 1, then you can't say 200$ is worth to pay for note 2.

For me the only disadvantage of the Note is the burn in problem. And that has not been solved with the Note 2. Ok there is quad core, nfc and lte. I don't need those but I cannot speak for you.

I have just upgraded to a galaxy note 10.1. I can honestly say that I prefer the size of my 8.9 to the 10.1 but really wanted the s pen and multi screen. As I am in need of a new phone I've put my 8.9 on a swapz site hoping to be able to swap it for a good android phone. I have had a few offers but not sure what to go for. I have been offered an S2, a note 1 or an S3 (obviously he wants cash aswell for the S3). Which would you guys recommend I go for?. Obviously what ever I go for, it won't be stock for long

You can have a whole note family. S2 is awful, dont take it! And if you would like to pay, get the s3, but i would recommend note, it is better for gaming because of the huge screen.
The decision is yours!

Thanks I had the note before and loved it but did think it was too big as a phone .... But the S3 feels about as big. Thought the S2 might be a cheap alternative but see the Note 1 is fetching about the same as the S2.
If its a s2 skyrocket get it. I love mine.

You probably ask this question in the Galaxy S7 Edge forum.
But there is an app that is called Smart TV Remote or something like that. It uses the dlna to communicate with your Samsung Smart TV.
Good buy, i wish i had the money but i'm totally broke atm Do they really ship S7 along with Gear VR? It seems a good deal for its price!

Why didn't you wait for the LG G5?
I wait for the Note 6 to be released. I want a S-pen in a phone. Probably I get myself a second hand Note 5 first. I had the compleet Note-line so the Note 5 need to be in it also.

bc why would he, i dont mind the lg g5, but i think it's useless, and the s7 edge much better, other stuff just a gimmick
One could get the G5 and look at the rear side and show other people that how pathetically could one design a phone. God knows how people compare them at first place.
Anyway, congrats man. Good phone S7 is, but after using Note series for long enough to understand and realise that I will not leave it, especially for the S Pen and screen size. But best of luck to you all the same and congrats.

I've currently got an s8+ that has no issues, however I'm really interested in the note 9. To those of you that have it would you think it's worth upgrading to from an s8+?
Yes.... Had an S8+ before my Note 8. Note 8 a definite worthy upgrade to the S8+, Note 9 a definite upgrade from the Note 8.
Note 9 is the best phone available right now. If you love Note phones, you'll love the Note 9. Lots of upgrades over the S8+ with this phone.

I upgraded from the s8+ to the 512 gb version, just for the storage increase. I think it was worth it.
I think it's a worthy upgrade. I got mine thru Verizon and got a decent trade in for the S8+ witch made the monthly payments only $1 more than Samsung financing. I originally gave my wife my Note 8 last week because I purchased a new Pixel 2xl. That didn't work out so good so I returned that and went for the Note 9. I've only had the S8+ for a few days but can say just for the extra screen size and camera it's well worth the upgrade if you don't mind the bill. I can't comment on the battery yet but can say the S8 was doing good for me there.
Thanks for the advice everyone. I've never owned a note but I'm interested in this one for the camera, batter, and s pen. Is the s pen really as awesome as most reviews make it seem?
Best phone ever. Only flaw really is sealed battery.

Ii say definitely, coming form the Note 8, the small upgrades actually have big impact.
I agree. Have had s8 plus and Note 8. While it's not a ground breaking advance over last year's phones it is just a little better in almost every way. If you can afford to, it is 100% worth an upgrade.
As far as the s-pen goes it is something you'll either play with for a week and never touch again, or it will become something that is invaluable to you. I've used Note phones since the 2. Skipped the 5 because it didn't have an sd card slot and was devastated when I had to return my Note 7. I use the pen almost every day at work and while I could live without it my workflow would become less efficient for sure.

i came from the s8 plus and i have no regrets. More storage, better battery. A little bigger screen. Brighter Screen, Better speakers. S pen ( if you use it ), More ram ! better processor ! come on homie. Make that switch
I say if you can pick it up go for it. A lot of people who has a Note 8 can't justify the move because of the price point but I made the switch. This is coming from a guy who was trashing Apple for their iPhone X price. The Note series are the only phones that excites me and all of the added feature did not make me hesitate (maybe a little)
