I still use my old Note 8 tablet quite a bit for web use and drawing.

Seems good for the most part. Have not tried the HD calling or anything yet, though. The only real issue I am seeing is that the battery seems to be draining really fast, but maybe it will level out eventually. I am happy that the camera launches and fires faster than before. I use the...

Pretty ordinary, but it works for me! :)

I have not used the camera too much yet, but so far I'm quite impressed with the indoor capabilities compared with my previous devices. The automatic low light feature seems to work really well. Need to take some outdoor shots now, but the weather here has been pretty bad the past few days.

I know I'm a little late on this, but I wanted to say that anyone who says the screen is crap on the Note 8 is just judging it based on numbers. Kind of like people who think more megapixels equal a better camera. The Note 8 screen is fantastic despite not being super duper, stupid high...

I just got mine about a month ago and I think it's awesome. Even if they do come out with a new model, the biggest change will probably be screen resolution and quite frankly, I don't see the point. The resolution is super on this model with the 8 inch screen. You can't beat the Note series...

LOL, I looked for the Note 8 forum for at least two months before realizing it was in the same section as the phones. I was convinced that there actually wasn't one.

I just got one yesterday! Haven't had a chance to really do anything, but I also have a Note 2, so I know pretty much what to expect. Looking forward to it...the pen is king. Oh, I did do some typing on it...the keyboard in portrait mode is absolutely fantastic for me.

Dave is right. The screen isn't actually "sharper," but there are some changes in the icons and such that make it appear crisper. There, we'll call it "crisper." LOL! The OS doesn't really seem much different to me overall. The lock screen is changed, but I liked the old one better. One...

I don't like wearing things on my wrist and haven't done so in over 10 years. Plus, I don't really see any reason why I would need the Gear. I suppose if someone were to give me one I would give it a whirl, but otherwise, nope.

LOL, I hope you didn't believe them.

I will have to check if the device software will do that. I honestly don't know. I use the Gentle Alarm app, which does keep the device awake.

The Seidio dock should work. It has a pivoting Micro USB so that devices with and without cases will work with it.

I need to reset mine too...or just throw it away...ugh...

Re: why is my Note 2's 8mp camera so much worse than my 6-yrs-old cheap Canon 8mp point&shoot camera I don't know if this is the case, but maybe there is a setting somewhere that needs to be changed? Mine fires off instantly...there is no noticeable lag at all.
