jaboop!

My Verizon contract is up in 2 weeks. In the next month or two I will be switching to Sprint for a HTC One or S4 and unlimited data. I talked to a Verizon rep and they said I would "keep my unlimited data FOR NOW, if I paid full price for a new phone" but they could not guarantee that it would stay that way. I'm not dropping $700 on a new device only to lose my unlimited data halfway through my contract.
ended up signing a new contract with Verizon. going with the 8GB plan for my 2 lines. pretty much the same monthly price. we average around 5GB/month
they didn't have the white Note 2 in stock when i went in on Saturday so they're FedExing one to me. can't freakin wait!
i loved my Thunderbolt till i dropped it a few weeks ago. i will definitely miss the kickstand. its been a good ride
I got the Seidio Active case with kickstand for my Note 2 and it's great! I've already dropped the device twice, so it's been worth it in that department too...lol!
I'm doing something similar to tOked. I have a stereo receiver and speakers above the work bench in my garage and I've decided that the T-Bolt will just become a dedicated music source that will stay connected to that receiver. Can also be used as a clock, so that will be helpful too!
I forgot to mention that I'm quite confident you will love the Note 2. I never had any major complaints about my Bolt, but after using the Note 2, the T-Bolt seems old, slow, and clunky. Plus, the battery in the Note 2 lasts for what seems like forever!
I lost my unlimited in December when I got my wife her first smartphone - Razr-M.
I don't think we ever used more than 7gb.
We went with Share Everything 8gb and my bill is the same. - So no biggy here.

My Thunderbolt has served me well.
I want to upgrade, but I'm just not that excited about anything.
thanks chuck
i have the Seido Active case for my Bolt
my Note 2 just arrived via FedEx today so i'm off to the Verizon store after work in about an hour now to get everything set up. i'll eventually order the Seido Active for my Note 2
for now i got the Verizon shell thing with kickstand

we switched to the 8GB plan too. basically the same price we pay now
My son thinks he can get it unlocked, stick in a new SIM, and use it prepaid on another network, but I don't know if this is possible. Even Verizon has given me conflicting answers about this. Advice?
Upgrade to ICS seemed to make everything on my (launch) TB just insufferably slow.
Upgrade to ICS seemed to make everything on my (launch) TB just insufferably slow. Contract just ended and I am trying out the N4 with $30/mo T-Mobile plan and GrooveIP, finding the learning curve a little steep at the moment and not satisfied with the call quality. Love the new phone though.
Not sure what to do with the good old TB. I miss the kickstand for sure. My son thinks he can get it unlocked, stick in a new SIM, and use it prepaid on another network, but I don't know if this is possible. Even Verizon has given me conflicting answers about this. Advice?

The Note 2 is just too big for my comfort level (wife has one, and it stores nicely in her purse, there is no way I'm walking around with that thing in my pocket).
and the SGS3 is on its way out.
You are not the first to make that suggestion. It is for that cited reason (embarassment) that I do not have one. I'm old-school. If I ever find that I need a carry-solution, I will look at briefcases or backpacks. The most outlandish item I'd consider is a messenger bag.It sounds like you, too, might be ready for one of those so-called "man purses". (Yes, I have one, I say with some amount of embarassment).
I must be weird, but I would highly favor the Note II because of the stylus. I really miss being able to quickly jot down a note using a pen-like device. I don't believe the SGS4 has it.
Maybe, but this also represents an opportunity to save a few hundred dollars on initial purchase. Unless you are looking for a specific feature on the -4, I would not hesitate to get the older version. Of course, the screen is a little larger while, simultaneously, the 4 is overall a bit smaller. This may be enough benefit to justify the full price.

No problem. I know I've mentioned it before somewhere else, but I didn't know if you were aware of that feature on the Active cases, so i figured I'd throw that out there. I did forget to mention that the kickstand for the Note 2 case only works in landscape mode, but it's a MUCH nicer kickstand than the one that Seidio put in the T-Bolt cases. It's spring loaded with a magnetic catch, so it's easier to use and has a much higher quality feel and look. I also loved the T-bolt case, but the kickstand was a bit clunky, IMO. Not the case for the Note 2!
My wife used to keep her Note 2 in a velvet pouch that came with a GPS unit I have until she got a wallet case from Abacus. I called it her cell phone mojo.now i'm thinking about either getting a pouch that can hold my Note 2 in the shell case or getting the Seido Active case
