Galaxy Note 2

[anon(94115)]

didnt want to start a new thread so I'll ask here
Son has a iPhone 4S and he wants a Galaxy note 2. So I'm looking to by it contract free.
Question: Can I use the sim from the iPhone 4S , take it out and if a adapter is needed or not, put it into the GN2 no problem?
Also we have the 2GB $30 plan for him and this wont mess with our plan at all im assuming

It will not change your plan at all, but I am not sure about the sim. Even if you need another, verizon will not charge you for it. Either go into a store and get it or call them up and tell them to send you one

iPhone 4S used a micro-sim same as the Note 2. You should be able to go seemlessly from one to the other.

Any early deliveries on your Note 2s, guys?

I have decided I have to be more open minded and not opinionated. I have never liked Samsung phones because they didn't keep signal in my home area, but that was also a few yrs ago and am hoping that has changed. I would dial and lose signal in the middle of dialing, can't have that! Now that HTC DNA specs are out and not removeable battery or SD card slot, am not upgrading with HTC. I don't like Motorola phones or LG so that leaves me with Samsung. I am thinking of the Galaxy 3 or the Note. I can upgrade in March, so have time. I like how the Galaxy looks and it is as large as I comfortably want to go. It is a phone to be first. I don't have a home phone and need my cell phone to function well and also be comfortable in my hands. I have small hands. So we will see. I don't mind the Touchwiz....I like my Galaxy tab and the screen is so awesome. I was playing with the 3 today and it is sweet and of course, would want the white one. Want to see the Note and then will decide. Nut I think either one would be good. I definitely like the 3 price better as well.

I see a lot of reasons in your post to go with something other than the Note 2. Besides, you say you have a tablet - I want the Note 2 because I do not have a tablet anymore. I'd rather have 1 device that serves both purposes well enough: phone & small tablet.

Jude, stop in any Verizon store and play with the S3. It's an awesome phone. From all that I can tell the Note2 is really the S3's big brother(or sister). I love this phone. I personally hate touchwiz but this is the first phone where I could actually live with it. That also made the Note 2 a real possibility for me. Then playing with the note at the AT&T store around the corner from me sealed the deal. Supposedly the S3 will be getting full S-Pen and multi-view support in the future but I wouldn't particularly hold my breath on that one. Overall my advice is this...if you're not eligible for upgrade until March, wait to see what the new offerings are. I'm sure there's a Galaxy S4 on the horizon. Oh and forget what you know about Samsung's horrible reception days. If the S3 is the example we're supposed to use from here on out, then it's smooth sailing.

Jude I was in the same boat as well. I hated Samsung phones, but from talking to alot of people and hearing how much they loved the phone I am gonna give it a shot.

1) The bendable LED screen hasn't been created yet. They've done the bendable LCD, though.



2) You can shut off any shutter sound by rooting(even if you don't run a custom ROM, you can delete/change the shutter sound)

3) Suuuure, can you leave a million dollars on my doorstep? Preferably in unmarked non-sequential bills.

Just run a 3rd party camera like camera 360,it allows you to disable the shutter sound

Update due in March? Just in time for Samsung S4 - rumored to be 1080i 4.99" screen and since Sammy continues to support removable batteries and expandable storage... just sayin'
There is a chance that Sammy will be showing it off at CES January 2013.

1 more day for the lucky ones here, eh?

I know but I have decided to go with the Note. It does more than the S3 and it also does things the tablet doesn't do with split screens, etc.
It will serve well for my needs and just wants in a device. And after playing with it for awhile at AT&T, it isn't too bad in my small hands at all.
Quite comfortable to hold after getting used to it. I am excited to get it and have fun with it. I use my phone for everything as well as when I am on my tablet for others. It is smaller than a small tablet. I am looking forward to it. I would had gotten the S3 but I saw how much more the Note 2 does and that was the closer for me.......I am in sales and I believe in getting what you want and what you will use.

I decided to go with it in March. I have accessories that I ordered for winning a contest on here so am excited. I have to have it all or nothing LOL
The Note2 will do more and after playing with it I am so hooked on it. Its sweet...........I liked the S3 but after seeing the Note2.....it had me.....

 

[Bosgarage57]

I plan on going thurs morning and picking up the note2, local vzw store gave me a good deal i cannot pass up. I believe I can sell me rezound for about 200ish. Jude, March is a long time away in electronics. Either by then the note 2 will be cheaper, or something newer will catch your eye.......Either way, its a new toy, so enjoy. Oh and congrats on winning the contest!

 

[majorpayne]

Well It seems that I will be getting the Note 2 along with the wife but Mine will be coming about 11 months after hers(if it's still sold)) LOL... I told her that the next time we get phones we are getting the same one so she can figure mine out .. lol I use folders and she doesn't...

What's the deal from Verizon?

 

[Bosgarage57]

told them about the walmart 100 gift card, they are waiving the activation fee, and $50 accessory credit. YMMV.
