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.

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.

I dont have a tablet so thats why i was thinking i should order it. Thanks for your reply.
Definately worth it.. Only downside is after using one for a bit you'll think your GNex is too small!
Technology is never an investment. Two, three, six months later the latest hotness is two years old and worth a fraction of what you paid. Don't buy something as an investment and expecting to recover any expenses in the world of Technology.
As far as being worth the expense of being a useful gadget you will enjoy, yes it is very much worth it. If you spend any time browsing the web, youtube, games, or movies on your phone, using the Nexus 7 will make it a more enjoyable experience and not kill your phone in the process. Tablets are still limited to being media consumption devices, i.e. dont expect them to do everything a PC can, but they do have a viable need in the gap between a smart phone and a laptop or desktop.

Coming from somebody who's screen magically cracked without me dropping it, I would still say the N7 is one of the best tablets out there, hands down. Initial product release is always a risky time for consumers, and I knew that walking into it. You can say that it should be perfect from the get-go and yeah I would agree, but replace the N7 with anything else, whether it be the iPad, a TV, a Chevy pickup truck, it doesn't matter. Lemons exist, especially during the initial run. Couple that with the fact that there are thousands of people who never complained about their N7 and the greater picture becomes a little clearer. Forums by nature tend to attract enthusiasts of that product as well as negativity since users with issues tend to seek out a place to vent (forums being a nice target), whereas the majority of people wouldn't bother to seek out a place to speak highly of the product - they'd rather utilize that time USING that product. I think my opinion is further swayed to the positives because ASUS *did* fix mine under warranty. Granted, I called them a few times so they knew my level of frustration before they even had a chance to work on it, but the end result was a 100% functional fixed unit. I'm a fan.
Love my Nexus 7. Only complaint was that I was cheap and purchased the 8GB version. The 16GB would have been a better match.
Just got mine yesterday and Im loving it, its a c80, the only problem I found is the crackling sound that it makes when I unlock it or select something, only problem so far, hope not to get one of the other major issues...
I unlocked and rooted mine the day I bought it (a week ago).
All went well via RomManager Premium, until I tried flashing a Rom.
Which then took into boot loop for a day or so.
Eventually got it back to life via Nexus Toolkit (Wugs).
Now left it in Stock mode using NOVA Launcher Prime and all is good!
Best 7" Tab ever, and I used to own a Sammy 10.1 Tab.
Awesome value for money.
Thumbs up to Android/Google! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Same here. I'm so tired of seeing all this negativity through the Nexus 7 threads. My device is literally perfect. I've had it for about a month the now and love it more each day. No issues whatsoever, and receiving my Portenzo Bookcase in the mail the other day was the icing on the cake!!! I love this thing. Very affordable, and for the money, I got much, MUCH more than I bargained for. I'd gladly pay 250$ or even a bit more for a product of this caliber.

Why are you switching from the note? the reasons why could tell you, or us, if you're making the right choice.
Didn't the Note 2 come out literally 2 weeks ago? Unless you are made of money, no you aren't making the right choice.
The Note 2 is a solid device that you should keep if you enjoy it. There will be a new Nexus next year if you can't live without OS updates, and at least you will get a year out of your device. (This is assuming you are not planning to sell your Note and recoup EVERYTHING you paid for it)
And to answer number 1, yeah it might be sold out. But it won't be an iphone level of craziness, you might have to wait a week or two. Not a big deal.
The reason i am switching is because tmobile service sucks and i hate touchwiz
Returnung the device tomorrow and plan to get the nexus on straight talk....
Plus this phone is just too too big. I like big but not this big. 4.7" is my sweet spot.

I've owned every big phone (GS4,HTC One, N4, etc) and I can easily say this is the best phone I have owned. Super smooth with every task and exceptional battery life. I have not had one frame drop in anything ui or gaming based so far. I would highly recommend it to anybody and I have most of my family upgrading to it.
I thought it was supposed to take a while to load facebook and games, this phone has no lag at all.
I've had the Galaxy S3, Note 2, and HTC One before the Moto X. For me, the Moto X has the best call quality and volume.
O have an Xperia S but I want to buy a MotoX it really worth to buy it? Or only for the camera should I stay with the Xperia S?

I will admit having to find the work arounds for the features I was used to from HTC (IE Facebook Contact Pictures) was a bit of a hassle.
I probably didn't give the phone much of a chance I only had it for 48 hours, but the lag and the fact I got offered a iPhone 5S, Galaxy Note 3 and a Nexus 7 (2013) for it, made the decision easy.
What phones have people decided to move too, either by trading or returning there Galaxy S5?

You got offered all three? or chose one of the three? - 48 hours isn't much of a test I gotta say, I'm actually toying moving to it myself (M7>Note 3> Nexus 5). I ordered an M8 but.. problems with delivery + CPW being idiots I cancelled it.. however I'm in two minds still as to switch to the S5 or the M8.

I got offered all three for the S5, so it was kind of a no brainer. I'm now toying with the idea of trading the iPhone for another S5, and trading the Note 3 for an iPhone, seems long winded but that's the only option. I need an android phone and a phone with iOS.
Regarding the lag, I've read a few places (reviews also) that it can be pretty bad, how true is it? - surely a phone with such a high spec shouldn't lag even with TW bloat?

Well, I've owned one for about a week now and I don't have all this lag that some people are talking about. Sure there might be a tiny hiccup here and there and some of the native apps take a second or two to open up from a cold start, but I don't have any major issues.
It is nothing out of the ordinary and it's an overall fast and smooth device.

It's all simulated lag. Turn off double click to start S-Voice. Disable My Magazine. Turn all animations down to 0.5x and BOOM, "lag" gone.
I actually did this side by side with the M8. I noticed the M8 was ridiculously fast at opening and switching between apps and the S5 was always slightly behind. After changing the animations on the S5 to 0.5x, BAM same speed.
I went to the s5 from the s3, as I skip every other galaxy. (s1-s3-s5). I have to say, what a difference between this and the s3. Dont get me wrong, they are both similar. But a 1080p amoled is stunning, the phone also feels great and is a beast. Also, not sure why so many people are complaining about the finger scanner, I can easily unlock using one hand and my thumb. Great phone !

I'm trying your tip. There's some lag in the s5, I can't deny it. I didn't have that with my n5. TW probably doesn't help here, although this is an awesome phone.

Make sure to reboot your phone too. Phone was laggy as hell when first booted. The only thing that is a little slow for my taste is opening the multitasking list.

I can't wait for the customs ROMS, I'm not used to TW really, When opening phone it's not that smooth and some little stuff.

Personally I think it's a fair trade off. I had the M7 and it has bare bones software features. If they would have added more software functions like multi window I probably would have got the M8. Realistically the M8 is the M7 with a depth sensor. They didn't really need to upgrade the processor because it ran fine on the 600 chipset. At least I know Samsung is trying to utilize the power of the 801 chipset.

It's all simulated lag. Turn off double click to start S-Voice. Disable My Magazine. Turn all animations down to 0.5x and BOOM, "lag" gone.
I actually did this side by side with the M8. I noticed the M8 was ridiculously fast at opening and switching between apps and the S5 was always slightly behind. After changing the animations on the S5 to 0.5x, BAM same speed.

If I use apex launcher I take it I don't need to bother going into touchwiz and disabling My Magazine?

I'm still curious where and how the OP got offered such a ridiculously good trade...

When people see new devices it's like an ora of "I want" - you'd be surprised what some people would offer for something so that they can get their hands on it straight away. Crazy offers aren't that uncommon tbh.
