[Q] Galaxy SII or Galaxy Note?

Yo!
So, i'm looking for a new phone to buy but i can't decide between the Galaxy SII (the white one which IMO looks hawt) and the Galaxy Note.
I can't decide if i want a 5,3" screen or 4,3". I know, it's stupid not to go for the 5,3" screen, but i'm not sure on size of the device itself.
What whould you buy? (Btw, is the Note's bootloader open/crackable?)
(Mods, i know i'm in the wrong area with this post, but i want to check what my homies here @ Off-topic think)

Either way your getting an absolute f******g beast of a device....
Not sure if the note would be just that little bit too big for a phone but I havent handled one so I can't really comment...
The white one looks putrid though (jm2c)

Yeah i know! But i've tested the Galaxy S WiFi 5" and it's huge, and the Note is even bigger BUT it's way way thinner, so.. i don't know! But.. but.. just LOOK at that screen!

I've got the S2 and absolutely love it, but I would (after a try) probably swap for a Note if I could, so I voted for that.
Either way mate, like Conan said you're getting a BEAST! Get one of each and then give me the one you decide not to keep

Even tho i think the note is WAY WAY WAY TOO BIG!!!
I voted for it as it is faster

Hmm, looks like the Note will be my new device! The only thing i'll have to do now is to wait...
It's not released here yet.. Booo!

i'd have gone for a Galaxy Note, if they made it for the Tmo USA AWS 1700/2100 network

Yup, i'm super into the Note now after reading Engadget's review and watching a lot of YouTube videos. I must have it! Come to papa!

Either is great but the Note has a Pentile screen so some say white looks green especially whe magnified (Best iimage I can currently find) But either choice is awesome

Because we are talking about a Super AMOLED display and not a Super AMOLED Plus, the display is based on a so-called PenTile pixel structure, where pixels share subpixels. A PenTile OLED panel was recently introduced with the Samsung Galaxy Note, and we were not impressed. In real world PenTile means loss of details and sharpness, as well as a bluish/greenish tint around letters (depending on the background color). See how it looked on the Galaxy Note in the picture below.

Either of them are way better than my current phone (htc wildfire), but if I were you I would get the Note

Galaxy Note for Far!!!!
Note is a DII bigger and with Stylus!!

I don't care about the stylus, and i bet i'll never use it, but that screen... fap fap
But yeah, Note it is! Just have to wait a couple of weeks.

Darn!! Too late for my opinion

Got my Note yesterday. It's awesome and it fits easily in my pocket

Actually, yes it can. Don't know if you've tried to hold it, but if you have "normal" man hands it'll work fine. I can do most things with one hand except writing on the keyboard.
And remember that the Note is only 9mm thick, so it slides easily into the pocket

Sir,
3.3 - 1.5 is 1.8 not 3.14.
and the rumour said it has Super AMOLED screen. Wow.

lol, can't you see it is 3.3" HVGA TFT

LOL someone is just read that from the first post.
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_mini_2_s6500-3883.php
I don't think it would be a super amoled, but it's written there.

I don't trust galaxy mini 2's leaked specs, also if it's true then it will be + 110% more expensive.
If anyone dreams this I only suggest is to have patients & wait for the future for more hyped phones.

The S7550 is great for the average user who doesnt require all the glitz and glam that comes attached with the high-end devices, your Galaxy S2's for example.
I was expecting a disappointing smartphone when I purchased my Galaxy Mini, I knew it wasnt going to be like my prodocessor phone, Galaxy Ace but it surprised me. Its probably just as good in many ways, and with custom ROM attached is the same.
Only downfall is the screen quality, if its set to improve then I might just get the new one.

It doesn't really seem worth it, its not that different too the mini
and the AMOLED will make it a bit more expensive, so it won't be 'mini' the mini is supposed too be cheap!

Now here's 800Mhz processor version of Galaxy Mini (Named as Galaxy Pop Plus S5570i)
NB: Galaxy Mini in India is known as Galaxy Pop.

That new device will cost as much as the first Mini when it got released. Everything gets better and cheaper. If SGS2 were released 5 years ago I'd cost like 2k$. And AMOLED is nothing special nowadays. I think there is Super AMOLED+ now.

No one really sets out to buy a crappy phone but you won't really know it's a crappy phone until you start using it...lol. I think that's the case most of the time.

Samsung Solstice... yuck. I mean, you could use it, but as far as non-smartphones go, it was far inferior to even standard non-touchscreen phones. You're either a smartphone with a touchscreen or you aren't.
The best non-smartphone I ever owned was the Samsung Messager II when I had Cricket service. That phone was actually REALLY good. It was the only cell phone I ever liked before getting my Galaxy S2 earlier this year.

Only one reason not buy Google Nexus 7 !

Nexus 7 is good ! and most of people say, a lot of reasons should buy it, e.g Cheap, Quad core cpu, 1280 x 800 display (216 pixels-per-inch), and android 4.1 ! it is only apply on people who don't have tablet on hand !
but I only have one reason not buying Google Nexus 7 ! the screen is too small, I already have hp touchpad, it have 9.7" screen display, 7" it is too small if compare with 9.7" or 10.1", it is no point to spend other $248 to get other 7" tablet！
if google release 10.1" Nexus tablet, it will be different story！

cool story bro

I've the Hp Touchpad as well and I use it for reading mainly and ocassionally for browsing. However, I find it too heavy for reading and it isn't comfortable to hold while in bed. It's true that it runs ICS but there are still issues which probably won't be fixed. I'm seriously considering buying the Nexus 7, since I paid only £89 for the touchpad anyway.

Really, a tablet for reading?

I personally prefer reading from a self lit screen rather than having a separate source of light (small lamp attached to Kindle for ex.). Also even the newest e-ink kindle's dpi isn't perfect, the pixels forming the letters can be easily distinguished! That cannot happen with a screen with higher DPI.

Note 3 or iPad Air

Hi there guys. I got a weird problem. Hope you can help me. My contract is expiring and i can have a new gadget though only one. I can either have the note 3 or ipad air, but i'm really confused.
Now, if you are in my shoes, which will you prefer. Please don't base your decisions on my personal needs, but to your personal needs instead. Imagine you only have the Note N7000 and a PC as your gadget currently.
Please choose and state why based on your personal needs.
Thanks guys. Appreciate everyone's help.

That is not a valid comparison.
Phablet vs Tablet?
Reasons for a Note 3:
Customisation (roms, launcher, status bat etc....)
Cellular features that are more than just data (call, text etc...)
S pen (percise stylus good for note taking, doodling and doodling)
Ture multitasking with multi window
Better quality music for audiophiles (Wolfson 3g variant + 200+ dollar headphones ONLY). The Qualcomm version isn't bad just not as good but still better than the iPad Airs out put
Flash support with 3rd party browsers.
13mp camera with LED flash and a set of advance yet easy to use features.
It's non - restrictive meaning you can use your phone as a computer to download all sorts of files even P2P with bitorrents, extract zip + rar, download videos from youtube and extract it on board or simply use it as a USB flash drive.
Sending files over bluetooth
Being able to use your phone as a remote
Micro SD slot to cheaply expand storage rather than $100 dollars per twice the storage.
Those smart gimmicks that are useful like smart rotate and smart stay.
Reasons for the iPad Air
The larger screen 9.7" Retina display (bigger + higher than the 1080p in that of the note 3 IGNORING dpi)
It's a closed eco system meaning more quality control of apps and higher levels of security
iOS user experience will be more constant and smoother than that of any android device especially with the A7 power house.
Apps are generally more optimised so the software takes all the advantage of the hardware
Created a one code one screen size policy so the tablet apps are genuinely redesigned for tablets and it's screen area.
Better GPU in combination of better optimisation means it will be a better performer for graphics such as games thus more future proof
It's 64 bit so some CPU intensive task will perform better
Simplistic approach to UI (as technology was intended to be)
Higher 2nd hand resale value
It Is backed by worldwide hardware warranty no matter where the device was purchased as long as it was on this planet
At the end of the day, it is up to you to decide which one is better for you.
