So which apps are you speaking of. I see this thrown around all the time yet find very little too back it up. Usually when I ask which apps are so much better people say garage band which always confuses me. What apps are so much better on iOS? FYI I don't use Twitter.App selection is still higher and better quality on iOS in many cases. It's not uncommon to see the same app on iOS look better and have more functionality than its Android counterpart. Also apps tend to come out on iOS first and sometimes never make it to Android.
On tablets it's not even close and if you have an iPhone and an iPad most apps are universal. Also if you use iPhone, iPad, and Mac iCloud and apps are very compelling.
I have owned every iPhone made and many, many Android phones. Right now I have an iPhone 5 and Note 2. Oh, and an iPad 4 and Nexus 10. ;-) I like the Nexus 10 but its nowhere near the build quality and forget about service and support, any decent app selection, and it lags.
Love the big screen on the Note 2, multi-window, and the pen, but especially the many different roms available. I do see some lag on the Note 2 as it comes out of the box but clean up the bloatware and it goes away for the most part. I don't like the cheap plasticky feel of the case and buttons. At all. A thin case makes that not too noticeable though.
Literally 90% of what I see Android users say about iOS is factually incorrect or hasn't been true for years and many seem to have a really immature attitude about it. On the other hand iPhone users don't seem to think much about Android at all.
I'm one who doesn't know. I'm considering switching for the bigger screen, but not sure it's worth the hassle of switching. I don't really care about customization. Background colors, skins, etc. just aren't that important to me. Another concern of mine is one handed use, that's important to me. What have you found that you can do with the Note 2 that you couldn't do with the iPhone?I just picked up my wife's white model today. She loves it and traded her iphone 4 in. ios is great for many but I suspect they don't know what they're missing with the current android os.
I'm also a little worried about the size but i think i will get use to it. I usually keep my iPhones(3g and 4) and just get another phone just incase i want to switch. But seeing how the note 2 will be 600+ dollars i think i will sell my iPhone 5. Just not sure yet lol. I would prefer to wait and hope that black note 2 comes out!
There's several threads about the size and getting used to it. Looks like about 98% of people do in a few days, then can't bear the thought of going back to a tiny screen.
I don't think you'll have much luck with a black Note 2, though, they've already announced the new colors, brown (WTF?) and ruby:http://www.sammobile.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/8388667736_a5e7468158_c.jpg
Boooo I want the black one!!! LoL
One is a pocket computer the other is a phone with apps. Watch this and you will see the difference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nh2NSLgaII&feature=youtube_gdata_playerI'm one who doesn't know.

I see the Note as an alternative for when you're out or away from home. You can't put a pad in your pocket so the Note is much easier to carry and more likely to be with you.
oh I agree but where things are headed is pretty awesome. And having a phone that can do what you are asking plus a whole lot more is pretty cool. This phone isn't for everyone but what it does is opening up a whole new way of using technology. The iPhone is just the same stuff all the time.I agree that is incredible, I just don't see myself needing to do any of that with my phone. I guess I didn't have an iPad, that kind of capability would be more compelling for me. But when I'm travelling or hanging out around the house and want to do heavy browsing, watch videos, or read books on my Kindle app, I use the iPad.
I have the Solo HD. To be perfectly honest, I can't really tell the difference between them and regular headphones. My wife spent a lot of money on them so that's why I use them. But the earbuds that came with my Note 2 sounded better.

Just last night I took my sister to get a galaxy note 2. Color me impressed! I left my iPhone 5 for a Droid DNA briefly in December, but came back. Beautiful phone, just wasn't for me. After playing with the Note 2 and giving it the back pocket test, I'm sold...well almost. Battery life is still the one thing that I'm not sure about. I know it is good, but I have no real world experience in the way I use a phone (which is hardly considered power use). I am definitely thinking really hard as I have another upgrade coming the 21st. After iOS for the last 3 years, I may be able to finally make that jump. Plus, have you seen the size of that screen!?!?!
