[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

so why do u post it again

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.

They must have found a very petite person, a child, or an adult with abnormally small hands to match that keyboard. Holy bat turds.
As for the OP, they're out there, but that kind of far and few between. What I think you're wanting is some kind of slideout keyboard attachment like the Naztech Bluethooth Slideout Keyboard, but I've only heard or seen these for the iPhone. I haven't seen anything close to it for the GN2.
You're not going to find something you can walk/stand and use with the GN2 without something to set the GN2 down on. If that's not an issue, I would look into portable blue tooth keyboards. There are lots of choices. I personally use a Freedom Pro.
As for the problem, you're hitting the same problem that has plagued vitural keyboards forever. Although, I find portrait mode, I can only see the keyboard. I prefer to see the app so I can see what I'm typing. I find when using the GN2 virtual keyboard, I either to do the one figure typing or the two thumbs. Both are only for short typing sessions. You may want to explore third party virtual keyboards such as SwiftKey. It's a bit easier to use as for as virtual keyboards go.

Yeah, from the shape of the hands looks like a kid.

You could use an2an (Android app from the playstore) and glue a droid 3 or droid 4 to the bottom of your phone. But it would be a massive brick, lol.
Seriously though, I would love something like that naztech slideout keyboard for the note 2.

Amazon has flip cases like the folio style with a removable flexible rubber BT keyboard attached to the inside flip cover for the note 2. I believe they were in the $80-90usd range search for "galaxy note 2 keyboard case"

Meh, no microSD, no Note 5 for me.

So not only no MicroSD or Removable Battery but ALSO no IR Blaster???
Bloody hell Samsung!

So it's basically just a giant S6 with an s-pen. Note 4 > Note 5.

Yup . yuck. Not premium at all

Well chaps I'm going to reserve judgement.
I'm a huge fan of the Note 4, but I also quite like the looks of what you can see in the pictures of this so called Note 5.
I'm not sure where all the negativity comes from sometimes towards Samsung, I think an awful lot of their products are top drawer! Lol

Not even USB 3.1...

Well i dont see an IR blaster and thats odd lol. I really enjoy that feature on my note 4. I'll wait for the note 5 to completely fail and wait for the next phone samsung releases that respects customers. Worst updated device ever (note 4).

The string of Notes in my signature ends at 4. Samsung totally phucked this one up. I'm gonna miss the SPen but that new Moto X Style will hold me until the next Note shows up.

That looks like an iPhone 6+ with an S pen.

Superglue

Any other option?

Ya i would just assume only option is a little super glue and push it back in place. I would contact samsung first and request a replacement. Phone release date was less than a year ago so it should be a no questions asked replacement i would think

I was writing with my pen yesterday. Just a really quick note. I went to tap the button on the spen and this happens! I owned three different Note versions but have never seen this happen. Incredible!

This is amazing, so three people so far that I have seen here have broken S-Pens? How much are these phones? And this type of thing happens? Way to go Samsung! This should not happen to a single persons S-Pen at all. As a matter of fact, that part of the device should have been made out of a metal with tiny slit windows to allow for RF transmission to the phone. Personally, I would call them up and tell them how unacceptable this is at this price point, and that they are to send you two extra pens on top of the replacement that they are going to send you. Hold them accountable.

This hasn't hasn't happened to me (yet), and I've had every previous Note without problems, but i don't know why the SPen isn't made from metal....especially since the Note 5 was a big step up in build materials.

That is a really good number. But, I wonder how many non XDA members have had this problem?
I have not seen any one complain about the previous devices S-Pens breaking. Though, that does not mean anything. As there are non XDA members. And some of them could have broken their other devices S-Pens.
I know that the S-Pens is a heavily used part. Heck, on my 10.1 2014, Note 4 and Note 3X, all of the pens get used regularly and heavily. The worst that happened in regards to the pen is that I lost the Note 3 pen.
I do wonder about the machines that make them. If they are shut down at some point. Maybe in the gluing process. Maybe some pens don't receive enough adhesive. And then they are still passed on to the phone for shipping. I know they say that there is a quality check. But not every single product that is made gets checked. Only every so many devices per a determined amount get checked for an overall check.
Any way, just thoughts.

There is circuitry in the pen and it's possible that would not work if the pen casing is metal - as it is used for transmitting a signal to the pen...
