Hi folks, Anyone have any idea whether the current version of the Note will start shipping with ICS at some point or will users always have to upgrade from GB?
yes, there's a possibility. the galaxy S2 manufactured from April onwards have started shipping with ICS (atleast in India). So I'm sure Note will also come with ICS on-board. But you may have to wait a lot.
after much consideration i decided to get samsung note in sg, but dont know when the stock come in with ICS installed
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?
In my opinion, keep your cash for now. Wait until some review sites get the device and check if there are any manufacturing defects or nasty software bugs. Its a temptation i know, but try to hold on for just a little longer. You can expect that soon after you get the device the new Nexus along with the new android version will be announced.
As far as the jelly-bean update for the Note is concerned, we are as clueless as you, there aren't any leaks yet. The safe thing would be to buy the Note II.
Note 1 will get the JB update very soon. Many of the software updates in Note 2 you should see in the Note 1.
With the Note 2 expected arrival, Samsung has already dropped the price of the Note 1. The Note 1 is still a awesome device.
Get the Note 1, I say.
Note 2 if you can afford it I must say..
Sold my Note 1 2 days ago for 22k and ordered by Note 2. It is officially launched in our country yesterday and will arrive in 3-4 days at my shipping address.
JB will be available for Note 1 also in a short time but not the hardware features lol.
Go for Note 2.
When you're waiting for the Note 1 to get JB, Note 2 comes with it preinstalled.
Not to mention that hopefully all the issues with the first Note have been fixed in the Note 2.
Although the price of the Note 1 will probably continue to drop, the cost of the Note 2 will be worth it.
I'm almost certainly buying the new Nexus when it comes out. Knowing that the Note will probably move into a "secondary" phone position for me, is the Note 1 a better choice?

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

Oh note ll is priced around 40K in india or around 750$... Its too costly right now

The Note is still worth it's money. If the Note 2 is too expensive for you then go for a Note. You won't be disappointed.

Right
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.

Hi guys. I recently got a galaxy note 5 SM-N920G from Samsung 64gb variant from Amazon India for 53,900rs.. I installed the phone info Samsung app from it and found out in the refurbishment section that the phone is original and not refurbished. But my concern is that the charging port used was shown as 7 times and headphones section as 5 times. Is that normal?
Can someone please provide ur valuable suggestions?

I saw somewhere that it is normal for new phones to have this charging port used..may be they test before shipping...
Is there any way to recognize the reversion Note 5? SAMSUNG said there is a reversion Note 5 according to the complain about the backwards s-pen. As mention there is a new design to the s-pen detenction sensor on the motherboard. Anyone know how to recognize this? Im a new note 5 user here, and i bought it last week, just wanna know if mine is the reversion or the old version. :fingers-crossed: Sorry if my english was bad!
Yes the English needs a tweak. By reversion you mean revision. Better yet "Revised Version" of the Note 5.
AFAIK there is no way to tell, short of taking the phone apart, or sticking the pen in the wrong way.
Although you can check to see if there is a build date on the box or the phone. The newer the better your chances I'd imagine.

Yes, the Note 5 in the left side is the fixed version.
Ok guys, so i got it. The newer version maybe has the chance of getting that moddified s-pen sensor. Since i bought this Note 5 last week, probably mine is the revision Note 5. Hopefully.. :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
