Hello all,
I'm due an upgrade in June and have my eye set on the Galaxy Note or the Galaxy S3. The one thing that compels me is the size of the screen on the Note, so I'm probably more inclined to the get the Note.
The only thing is, I don't want to buy the note and have the note 2 come out 2 months later, lol.
Maybe you guys can help me out here.

If you like to read and browse on a big screen then the note or the next iteration of the note is the solution. No contest there, anything less than 5 inch to me belongs to more of a phone. I am using the 4.7 inch HTC one x and the note, the 0.6 inch difference is missed when using the x. there are some occasion I wish a carry a smaller phone but on most occasion I am happy to fit the biggest size phone. The Samsung galaxy tab 7.7 on some occasion is perfect, yet the 5.3 for all occasion is perfect. Note 2 (700$~800$)won't be out international till November ish since that is when the original note got released. Buy note when possible keep it in good shape, resell and buy note 2. Dual core in euro note and lte note is adequate for most. So buy now and love life.

I agree - best phone on the market hands down... It's blazing fast, and there's really no need for quad core for any current use of a smartphone apart from tegra games, which you can run through chainfire. There has been no word of a note 2

get the note if you need/want the s-pen features.
Get the S3 is that's what it is, or get the Galaxy Nexus for ICS and JB
Don't wait for the Note 2 it wont be out till next year at the earliest.
There isn't any official information about the Note 2 yet, so you should go for either the Note or the upcoming S3.
Get the note, Samsung didnt realise how popular the note would be as such they never rolled it out quickly accross all the regions instead taking a staggered approach. The chances of a note 2 this year would be slim so enjoy what we have now
I think you should get the note if you love big screens like most of us here or get the S3 if you want more power and probably better spec which I am sure is going to be more expensive as well. But remember that there is always a better phone around the corner.
you should wait for the note 2
in the mean time use a string telephone
There is no announcement about the Note 2. Go buy the Note 1 now and skip a generation for the Note 3 and that way you'll always feel a significant upgrade.

What a pointless question! Should I get an existing only just released phone or wait for a fabled unicorn? Only you can answer that buddy. Personally, I'd go for a phone that is on the market (and amazing, by the way) rather than wait it out for the next generation which could still be years away!
S3 or Note - again only one of them is actually for sale (or has any firm specs) so you can't really make that decision either. If your contract is up in June, wait until then and see what is actually available at the time!
Pretty much everyone who has a Note will tell you how happy they are with it though. (Apart maybe the spoiled children who aren't happy we are having to wait for ICS )
Just get the Note. You could wait for Note 2, then for Note 3 etc. And the fact is that Note 1 is already amazing.
what about 3
You should wait for the note 3.... I dont understand people... You can also wait for the 4 i have heard it should be better...
Bought the Note now, it won't hurt you.
In matter of fact I do think this is one of my smartest decision i made. Definitely useable for work, for fun or just take a simple sketch

Whatever you buy and whenever you buy it, there's a always new model just around the corner, so there's no perfect time to buy. I can say that the Note is by far the best phone I've had - better than the S2 I had.

note 2 is planned for 2013. For 2012 samsung said they stay with the Note 1.
and atm there is no big update possible. later this year with A15 quadcore maybe.

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?
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

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....

Logically it just like note 2 and the only porb is its battery life that's it otherwise its smooth and fast
One of my friend want to purchase my note on a acceptable price
I also feel that my note has bigger screen becoz its little wider then note 2 and the home screen is much better then note 2 ( note 1 has 5*5 and note 2 is 4*4 just like s3 )
I like my note 1 should it worth to upgrade
Because my main concern is screen and note 2 screen is little smaller in front my note
Guys help me plz

I upgraded (not really an upgrade in my opinion) to a note 2 from my beloved note 1.
The only good thing about the note 2 is the 2gb ram. I hate led notifications so turned that off. Really missed the wider an in my opinion better screen of the note 1. The spen on the note 1 I much preferred I guess I just got used to it the note 2 spen is way to over sensitive even if you do adjust the potentiometer inside. Hate air view just annoyed me. Ok the battery life is better but the screen width on the note 1 for me is perfect.
i wouldnt upgrade for now when so many new phones are round the corner
even i thought to upgrade to note2. i borrowed my friend's note2 for a day and realized that note 1 is better.
now im waiting for S4/Note3. will compare the phones with xperia Z(i luved the water and dust proof design) then upgrade from my note
Thanks guys, I guess, I should stay with my note for a while...

Note 3 for me, note 2 was not an update. They just refined it for those who didnt have the note and were interested in getting a phablet.
Yes i like the note 1 screen and its design as compared to note 2. But i am not satisfied with the plastic of my phone. So changed my mind to wait for note 3 rather i will go for the motorola X phone.
There have been rumors that a touchless interface is to be incorporate in the s4, so it will explain if its something worth having.

I upgraded from a Note 3 and I am glad I did! Much better performance and battery life. Best of all, no bloatware that I'll never use I would highly recommend the Nexus 6
I went from the 2 to a G3 to this. Very happy.
Note 2 two years....Note 4 for a month...then Nexus 6. Glad I made the move.
Note 3 for a year to note 4 for about 2 weeks then to nexus 6 for me. Make a list of what you want out of a phone and then go from there. Happy camper.
Note 2 L900 straight to Nexus 6. So worth it.
How does the screen brightness compare between the two?
That's the only negative I can think of about the Note 2... brightness is a bit on the low side.
Plus I'll surely enjoy the powerful speakers on the Nexus 6 (not saying that the speaker is bad on the Note 2 'cause it's not).
Brgds...
Had the Note 2 for two years and loved it. Upgraded to the N6 on Christmas Eve and haven't missed one thing about Note 2. Definitely a huge improvement. I never used the multi screen on the Note so I don't miss features like that. Pure android is so much better. It's worth the change just for that alone.
Iphone 4 > Nexus 6
I JUST got my nexus 6 two days ago, straight from an Iphone 4. It is freaking incredible. So glad I upgraded.
