Samsung Galaxy Note 2 vs 1 [pic]

Hopefully the screen width is wider wit the note 3

I just bought an original Note, rather than waiting for the Note 2. To me, it's all about the wider screen. I want the big screen for web surfing, so I think of the Note as a mini-tablet moreso than a telephone. And, in "landscape" orientation, I can definitely read things without resorting to resizing much better than I can in "portrait" orientation -- so I'll be using landscape a lot. And thus, every extra pixel over the "width" of the original Note will make it meet my needs that much better than the Note 2 ever could.

Otherwise, I sure don't need the new gimmicky features -- my original Note came running ICS, and I've been completely happy with its features and performance, so far.

So, here's another enthusiastic vote for the original Note!

i prefer the original note, the note 2 looks like a jumbo galaxy s3..

Very-right you are! And My Note is just the right size for my Denim pocket but Note 2 is definitely gonna peep out!

Note 2 because of the LED notification and amazing specs. It also feels a lot better in the hand as the width is slightly decreased.

Samsung's first 7" tab had a phone. Unfortunately It was only in Europe, I was thinking of getting it but I couldn't afford $800.
Maybe Samsung is working its way up the 7" tab again!

Had the International GNote also the GNote from ATT. I sold them when I first heard the GN2 was coming and got the SGSIII. I just saw this as I was going to the GN2 forum.

I got my GN2 yesterday and while the screen is not better from my view, almost everything else is.

Processor, Touchwiz, RAM, battery, s-pen, jellybean etc. And it feels better in my hand. It is like a bigger SGSIII with an s-pen and I love that! No contest between these devices in my opinion.

Do everyone notices.
The frame around the screen of the original note.
Definitely makes it have more premium looks.
As on the lumia 900. Frame around the screen gave a premium feels.
And as everyone says, the original note wide is good.
Both looks and use.

I don't like the feel of the Note II at all, and much prefer the original Note. The original Note does all that I want, smoothly and fairly quickly. It also has options that I don't really need, so I can't see why I would want to get rid of my original Note for the newer model.

Mixed feelings here. I like the wider screen of my original Note, but it is less comfortable to hold than the Note 2 which I handled recently at a Best Buy. Further, the reduced screen resolution on Note 2 was VERY noticeable to my eyes and that's an issue, since I do like to read on my Note.

Since I can't really afford a Note 2 anyway, it's all kind of moot. Got lucky and got this Note used and off contract for $225, that kind of deal lightning rarely strikes twice! I use mine as a very portable wifi tablet, so the wider screen is probably best for my purposes.

Sort of hoping Samsung will consider making a Note 7" tablet with good screen resolution and S-pen, or make the 10" tablet with higher resolution. My eyes do best with higher resolution.

Spec wise - note 2
Design wise - note 1

Not sure if you guys noticed that galaxy note looks like a big version of galaxy s2 and note 2 is a big version Galaxy s3. Can they at least change the design a bit so that there's a distinctive and unique feeling for each phones.
