still worth buying?

Hi!
I want to upgrade my DHD, and I'm looking on all the options.
So I want to check about the Note.
Is it still worth buying? I don't want to buy and after 2 month there will be Note 2 and this one will get old.
Do you recommend buying this device in two month? (I'm not talking at the device as it is, I did all that research. I'm talking only on the fact it's 7 month old... in two month it will be 9 month old)
Thanks!

Will there be a Note 2 ????? Me thinks it was one off test the waters so to speak. What would make the note better is what I ask. Apart from the latest 4.04 yeah perhaps a fast quad core proc but this thing blazes through everything as is. Only thing really different is the software look at the S3 what's the major diff is the software. (ignore quad and screen size) its the apps.
Buy the Note.
Ps just brought my note last week instead of the S3 and sold my S2

you will get used to the 5,3' screen and you will not want a phone that is smaller than the Note!
I also have HTC One X, quad core Tegra 3, 4,7' screen, but I use Note (of course on CM9) it's simply better to me

I don't want the new software, I'm only afraid there will be no more support here on XDA, as on my DHD. There are no roms coming out!
More people?

We have official cm9 support and a custom kernel..What more could you ask for?
Buy this phone now!

Sadly I can't buy it now... only in 2 month. Will it still worth buying? The device will be almost 1 year!

No need to think over it.I had bought it just 3 days ago and i love it

Why no need? If i will buy it the beginning of Aug, it will be 1 year for the announcement. You don't think they will release a new one a bit after?

I know there are lots of great phones coming out, note 2 won't be out until fall at least if at all since they're releasing the true 10 inch tablet version next. This phone is all about the screen, aside from excellent hardware. IMO you'll have a phone that'll easily last another year before you start getting jealous. It's awesome, there's nothing like it.

so you all thinks roms will still be developed?
i think i will buy it, the low price got me.

It's got some real old school devs for this device as well as the infamous cm9 as mentioned previously. Once we get stable Ics kernels there's no stopping us!
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Just got mine two days ago. Definitely worth buying now, it will be a while before the 2 is released. If it is. This phone is amazing, now other phones look puny not to mention the amazing display. I thought I was looking at an old nokia when I was on my wife's iPhone 4 earlier lol
Development wise it's still very early days and already progress is being made although I am holding off root as it still seems too risky at the moment. Waiting for it to be as straightforward as the Desire was even without unrevoked.

We have CM9 nightlies which should only get better once ICS Kernel sources are out.
Also, the note has exceptional demand, this surprised everyone - even Samsung.
I am sure there will be another 5.1-5.5" Note 2 in about 6 months.
Samsung hit a sweet spot with the note size that appeals to people who like large screen and the ability to make calls.
Personally I am getting the S3, and when Note2 comes, I'll just switch to it.

Guys I'm thinking of buying one cause of this great price http://www.ebay.com/itm/36045880681...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_11855wt_922
Question is will this work on T-mobile?

to the OP...stop contemplating about what may happen tomorrow, get the Note today and enjoy. Life is too short. Technology will change and if you wait now, you will wait again because you will worry that a better technology will come out later.
get the Note.......and be happy with it.

im sure the note 2 wont be the best for long, but i just to want to buy and after 2 month there will be a new one and developers will stop the develop.
in the other side, the note 2's price will be much higher.
more opinions?

Development will stop?! How new are you to xda?! Go look at two threads, the Desire and hd2. As long as there are users there will be devs don't you worry about that!

i have the desire hd, and now there are no developers
once in a month there is an update for some of the roms, that includes only new apps and update of apps (as play store, g+ etc.).

Once you buy it, you would never wanna go back. It is the best out there. As far as tech goes, it keeps on evolving at a rapid pace. And GN is nothing like the iPhones where the older version seems outdated the moment newer version is launched. What we see in GS III should essentialy be in the Note II or whatever they call it. I bet it would be the same (maybe a bit tweaked) as on GS III, quad core (A15 dual core might be better than quad but it won't hit the normal, non geeky consumer. General belief: Quad > Dual, More MPs ~ better camera), maybe the same 8MP as on S3 again and such stuff. I hope the design is more in line with Note than a hybrid of S2 and GNex.

im almost sure it will be lighter, and thinner and a screen with a higher resolution, but i dont care about all this, because there will always be a newer and better device.

Galaxy Note or Galaxy S3?

Hey everyone,
I was wondering which phone you think I should get. I currently have the HTC EVO 3D but I think I want to try out Samsung for at least a year. I have pretty big hands, so the Note wouldn't be too big for me. Should I wait for Sprint's Galaxy Note, or Sprint's Galaxy S3? Thanks!

..... CLOSED...........

I went for G note in the end
I had the GS2 and had the exact same diliema of choice. I saw the GS3 on Friday and I think that it is really good and worth having a look at. I decided in the end to go for the note and I am very happy with the decision. The note is just so versatile and the extra size is a real blessing. Basically the note offers a flexibility that no other device has out there.
I would really have a good test drive on both phones because the GS3 is still quite amazing.

wait for GS3 IMO.but then again the choice is yours

hopefully the galaxy s3 for sprint comes out by july. if not, then I think waiting for the galaxy note for sprint would be a better thing to do.

SGS3 is superior to Note in every aspect except the screen size. Larger screen size is not a simple flavor tho. Everybody agrees once u get used to it u can never go back to anything under 5,3" . So if you could wait then wait for GNote 2 but there is no release date for now. And if you can't wait get both phones in your own hands and decide if you can settle down with smaller screen size. If you can settle with 4,8" then go for SGS3 with no hesitation. Otherwise i have no clear suggestion left to make as it's a tough decision. You can search youtube for SGS3 & GNote comparasion. 4,8" doesn't sound small compared to 5,3" but when u see both of them next to each other you will recognise only 0,5" makes huge difference

I am using both Galaxy S2 and Note. I use the Note more because of the big screen. If you prefer large screen then the Note is better. If not then the SG3 is better.
THREAD CLOSED........ this will just start flaming..... sorry

Which Phone do i consider if i want to trade my galaxy note off.

Which Phone do i consider if i want to trade my galaxy note off.
I would ideally want a cheaper option or preferably in the same cost bracket. i cant go for s3 or iphone 4s as they would be expensive. what i was planning is getting a galaxy nexus. Is it worth it? is it better than note, if i am looking for change? Please help

Note 2 or Note 3
edit, if you want a phone in same cost bracket go for s2 / galaxy r or ace 2

Htc one x or v.
Google nexus is also a good option. SII worth a shot also if you want to go cheap.

S2 would be a step backwards.. atleast with google nexus it would be amazing shape and i ll get the latest updates.

GNex. As somebody already said, S2 will be a step backwards, and for that matter even GS3 will be. Yes it has some cool stuff but for lots of us, its still not an upgrade. Go for Nexus or the Nexus 7 tablet and a cheap phone. Why I recommend 7 is because I don't know how you will manage with small screens now, for me it's next to impossible.

If you don't know what phone you want, why are you selling the Note ?
Anyway, how about new Sony Xperia handsets ? They're pretty nice.
Or Galaxy Nexus, this one seems to be perfect.
Or get the Galaxy S2 and Nexus 7 tablet if you don't mind carrying two devices with you. You should be able to get both in Note's price. I know many people consider S2 as "step backwards" but honestly i don't see the difference between S2 and Note in terms of performance...

I was getting slightly bored with my note. i love the device though and i am not hell bent on exchanging it. just wanted to explore options.
As for nexus 7, i dont see myself carrying 2 devices. so i would prefer only a phone. moreover i dont like tabs

Don't want HTC .. just don't like it. And ya I know, note is the best and I hope I don't regret trading it later.

After doing my research, i came to a conclusion that i would be stupid to trade my note for anything below S3, HTC one X.
But i really want to try GNexus. the downside is it isnt available here in india, n i'll have to use it without warranty.

You Can Try Samsung Galaxy S2 For Your Note. Galaxy S2 Is Much Better Than Galaxy Nexus.

S2 is so similar to Note in terms of form.. it is indeed a great phone, but wanted to try something different

Next phone after S1? S4 mini??

After using my beloved Galaxy S1 for more than 2 years I feel its time for an upgrade. I'm currently on a tighter budget than last time so Galaxy S4 is out of my reach. I've always been impressed with Samsung's build quality and memory reliability, and am worried about moving to another brand.
I've come across a cheap contract deal with decent enough minutes and stuff for a "Samsung Galaxy S4 mini" for £20/m in UK. I was going to go for a Galaxy S3 same price but compared, the S4 mini was that bit faster on youtube videos I watched. I like the look of S4 mini as it feels very similar to S1, not to big to handle, and faster.
What I want to know if what other people (on a budget) think of S4 mini and what phone they would upgrade to next while being on a budget?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

Hi,
someone in my family got an S4 mini and it is very great device...the camera is very good and it has a good performance...dual-core up to 1,7 Ghz and a few more RAM like our "good old device"
When i would upgrade i would prefer s4 mini or nexus 4 , maybe nexus 5 (should be released in the next weeks!) ... but it is my opinion...

For the contact price I don't think I'll find a higher spec device. I would also like to try the Nexus but I can't afford the phone outright and have yet to see it on contract.
S4 mini here I come. And RIP beloved S1. And many many thanks to the developers of the S1 who have made using my S1 a very pleasant experience.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

hey, why dont you just save up a few extra and get the Nexus 5? Its going to be cheaper than other high end flagships i hope and its got the best specs on the market and its a nexus! Just save up the extra money you need to reach $350ish and wait it out for the N5!

Or like GalaxySN00B:0 said you wait for the release of Nexus5 and look if you can get it ...
When all the speculations are right, it will be a great device for the half of the prize of an iphone and so on ...

Remember that Ruffbuster's on a budget... Maybe as he said the Nexus 5 is out of his reach for a budget.
So yeah, the S4 Mini sounds like a good plan.

who follows the main galaxy i9000 phone?

good morning, I open this thread to ask and know who leg continues with this phone, the samsung galaxy i9000 as the only and main mobile. a cell phone that has marked for me a time, I hope your answers[emoji2]

I still use it as my main phone.

Im use it too

thanks for your replies！

Me too. I bought a Oneplus One and used it for one month. But it was too big and the sound quality was really not as good as the GS1. So I sold it and I am back to the SGS1. Small, light, great sound quality.

If I earn cash i will buy a Lumia 630 or 820 ;D

I got a HTC One mini. It started to break on me after 3 months! Took HTC 3 more months to admit it was their fault. Then got a HTC One as a replacement, but after the crap service I had from HTC I sold that and came back to my 4 year old Galaxy 1 which is still working great! And compared to higher spec phones is still a beast! Long live the Galaxy 1!!!
Also S1 has a huge dev section and still kicking with some good devs pumping out some great work!
If I do upgrade again I'm thinking Galaxy S2 for the extra RAM. Really cheap to get off eBay. Spending 400+ £ for the latest phone doesn't make sense unless your rich or want to play the latest 3D games..

I am still running my S1 as my backup phone. It is 4 years old. I am using it now, as my main phone is broken. I have installed CyanogenMod 11.2 M9. It is a little slow, but still works fine.

im using a galaxy s i9000 too. its internal memory is dead, but i installed the ROM using a external memory card. everything works fine. running kitkat 4.4.2 . i love the i9000 display. :laugh:

Use it as my wife's main phone. Running MIUI. Still works very well.

Started to use GS again. Bought Huawei Ascend p6 and its gps is worse . Dont know how they managed to do that. Huaweis kitkat roms are horribly buggy too, and thats why I switched back to the good old GS1. Might go back to p6 if they release a real update to kitkat. Got bored of the upgrade downgrade cycle.
GS1 CM nightlies work much better, no crippling bugs so far. And ive been using it for years.

I've started using my SGS phone again.. After installing Mackay ROM, everything feels much smoother.
About to update to KitKat now

I still use it as my main phone. I want to add the galaxy s2 or s3 depending on how one can run android L on them.

Honestly I stopped using it in April because I bought myself one SGS3 (rocking!!!) and gave it to my son. But it is running 4.3 and the kid is happy as ever with it. I had it since it was released and love it since then!

It is still my only phone, but the only reason I still do so is because I transitioned to small tablets (both Nexus 7 and now the Galaxy Tab S 8.4) as my main mobile computing devices. The only thing I do on my phone is calling as well as occasionally chatting (even though I do that mainly on my tablet too) and it provides data for the wifi only tablet.
Even with that limited use I gonna buy a used Galaxy S3 LTE (or better) before this year ends. The S1 is just to damn slow for me and a little more screensize will probably make me chat a bit more on the phone instead of taking the tablet with me all the time (even though the later will remain my main device).

Is my spare wheel
