How is it getting used to the size from a GS3
-
This is my Flygrip on the back of my S2 case/sleeve. I will never again in the rest of my life attach a Flygrip directly to the back of my phone as you see in any of QBKing77 YouTube videos and I STRONGLY suggest none of you do either.
I don't know if he talks about them like they're the greatest thing since sliced bread given the fact if you use his name you get free shipping. What he NEVER mentions is the brutal effort involved in removing the thing if you ever have too.
I wish I had the back door I replaced. I would have taken a pic of that too for the purposes of this post. The Flygrip HAS to be pryed off with a knife and they are not easy at all to remove.
My battery door was completely ruined.

What's the feedback/opinions from those that went from a GS3 or any other phone to the Note 2,,,,, hard to get used to the size or does it become a non-issue after ownership.
Thanks in advance
Cheers

One of my friends is still rockin' his Evo and I LOVE teasing him. Saying things like I bet you can't wait to get rid of that little thing.

I can honestly say, after playing with it for about 15 minutes, I was really surprised by how it didn't "feel" huge when I was trying to use it. The ergonomics are very well done so that it was comfortable to hold. I've been making myself wait two weeks just to make sure it's not an impulse buy that I'm going to change my mind on (since I'll be paying full price) and I can honestly say I "miss" playing on it. I was even reading some emails a few days later while sitting on the couch and though "why does my phone feel so small?" (I have an Evo3D) I'm looking forward to Friday, because then my two weeks is up and I will be ordering one. Damn (semi-)responsible spending habits11-05-2012 11:07 AMLike 2
- As the op I wanted to thank everyone that chimed in on this thread,,,,, I'm turning in my much loved BLACK Verizon GS3 tomorrow and getting the TM Note 2 (TM's business plan/rates blow away Verizon's rates).
I hope I get used to the Note 2 size,,, but hey, if not,,, I'll just swap it out for a GS3,,,,, too bad TM does not the S3 in black,,, my Verizon black GS3 is the just the cool'est looking phone ever.
Wish me luck
Cheers

I'm still within my 14 day trial period. I want to have my beast back. It was larger, but I like larger.11-06-2012 10:49 PMLike 0 - I just picked up my Note 2 and will be interested to see how I adjust from the size of my GS3,,, I had just got thru adjusting to my GS3 from my iPhone 5,,,,,, going from all the iPhones to the GS3 to the Note 2,,,,, what a fun little journey.
Cheers

Ever since I was on a contract with either Verizon, AT&T (was Cellular One at the time) or T-Mobile - never Sprint.
This is the first time I took the plunge. I found a deal for $590 (shipping and tax included). That one was on newegg.com but those deals pop up from time to time on eBay and elsewhere.
Why did I do it? On a 2 year contract it would cost me $300 + tax. Then my monthly cost would be well over $80 a month. With this SIM free phone I can get prepaid service with one of many companies for under $50 a month, everything unlimited. So in one year I'll break even. And if I don't like the first vendor, I have a huge selection of others.
Added bonus - I travel internationally a lot. My old AT&T unlocked phone always worked for voice calls, but not always for data. It's a pain in the neck. This SIM free GT-N7100 works everywhere!11-11-2012 11:28 AMLike 0 - Well, I have been a cell user for almost 23 years now. The very first phone I had was a Panasonic car phone which had to be installed in my car and cost me $1,200.

The battery life on the Note 2 is something I would definitely fall in love with. Also the iPhone hasn't really advanced and I am bored with it so I am seriously thinking of going with the Note 2. There are, however, 3 things that concern me about the note 2.
1.) The size of this thing. I have played with them at stores and even made sure it will fit in my pocket, but I'm not sure this will be practical carrying around all day. Most things I use 2 hands for anyways (Texting, Web Browsing, etc.) even on the tiny 3.5" iPhone 4S screen, which is why I think a bigger screen will be nice.
2.) Samsung is known for having really bad reception on their phones when it comes to CDMA. Their AT&T and T-mobile versions seem to be ok but not their Sprint or Verizon versions. I need a phone i can rely on which is why I really liked the iPhone, it had great reception. This is the biggest concern of mine as of right now because if I return the iPhone 5 and get the Note 2 I will be stuck with the Note 2 and I don't want to be stuck with a phone that gets crappy reception.
3.) Having to deal with insurance if something goes wrong with the phone. With Apple I could purchase Apple Care+ and if anything goes wrong with my phone I take it in to my apple store 30 miles away and it will be fixed or the phone will be replaced with a brand new phone (not refurb). If I go with the Note 2 will I have to pay deductibles on the Asurion insurance for Manufacturer defects and things wrong with the phone or only on accidental damage like dropping it? I used to know all about the insurance thing but I've been out of the loop for a while now.
Ultimately I am just bored with the iPhone and would love to come back to Android but I refuse to get something running ICS so it comes down to keeping the iPhone 5, going for the Note 2 or looking into the Droid DNA which looks to be a better size for my liking but without all the things I like about the Note 2 like battery life and some of the Touch Wiz and S Pen features.11-12-2012 07:42 AMLike 0
