    People commenting about the size of the phone...

    +1. This phone may be difficult at times to operate with one hand, but holding the phone up to my ear with one hand still works just fine. I'll start wearing a bluetooth more often than just while driving when I need two hands to hold up a "phone" to my ear. I'll admit the image of that is...

    Official Otterbox Commuter Case Thread

    I am pleased to report that the rubber layer does not appear to attract any lint. :D

    Samsung keyboard on Note 2 gets "stuck" in handwriting mode

    I had the same issue, but I found the fix accidentally. If you press and hold the second button from the left (the one with the settings icon), above the s pen writing area, it brings up more options, including returning to the keyboard.

    Official Otterbox Commuter Case Thread

    I did not see a thread for this case, but I thought it deserved one as soon as I put this on my Note II. This case is AWESOME! Just arrived today. I've had Otterbox Commuters for my Droid Incredible and Rezound, and this one beats both of those hands down. Everyone is familiar with the...

    Best place to buy a case in person

    That's a good call, byrds8, about getting the case off. I just tried, and the only way that worked was to begin taking it off at the corner near the stylus, since the case has a cutout for the stylus. I can see your points, too. It's not for everyone, I guess. This Seidio Active Case was...

    Your first impressions of the Note2 (Give us your review!)

    I got my Note II on Thursday, as many of you did, and I really couldn't begin to enjoy it until yesterday. I had added a line to my account, in an attempt to move my dad's number to my Rezound, and my number to the Note II. Well, I didn't know that as soon as I turned on the Note II, it...

    Best place to buy a case in person

    Yesterday, I found the case that I will use from now on. It's the grippy "Shell with Kickstand" case from Verizon. Verizon does sell this one in their stores. This one, unlike similar cases Verizon sells for other smartphones, does not include the holster/belt clip part. I think it's the...

    Obsessed

    I'm obsessed, too. I stopped off at a T-Mobile store on the way home from work to try out the Note II. Wow, what a phone and screen. I could definitely and quickly get used to its size. It was the perfect time to move on from HTC.

    Officially Shipped Thread

    I don't have a good solid reason- maybe just wishful thinking. :) Memphis is 530 miles away, which doesn't seem far to me.

    Unlimited Question.... After all the reading confused

    Thanks you guys for all your responses. I was referring to the plan that bbudnick was thinking about and Mitten explained very thoroughly. Those prices are coming back to me now, after looking at some more examples online comparing the old and new family plans. Financially, it makes sense to...

    Officially Shipped Thread

    Mine was shipped and picked up from Memphis at 10:30 this morning. It's on its way to the Chicago burbs for delivery by 7 pm on 11/29. There's a chance it comes tomorrow. :D

    Unlimited Question.... After all the reading confused

    I have a similar question about saving unlimited data. I currently have a single line with unlimited data on my Rezound, but I rarely go over even just 1 GB in a month (office job, very infrequent travel, wifi at home). It's possible that my data usage could increase though once I start using...

    It's offical, 11/29 is launch day

    Pre-ordered my Note II on Nov. 24th and noticed today at 4:37 PM CT (Chicago) that my cc had a pending Verizon charge. (I didn't see it there at 4:36 PM. Just kidding- noticed it sometime before 5 PM.) My order page also was updated to show "Status: Your order will ship by 11/27/2012" with no...
