The "I've Got My Note 2" Thread!

[smooches680]

I could not find the phone at any stores during Friday release weekend, I gave up and ordered it online around 4 on Saturday and got iton Monday,I was surprised I got the phone so quickly, If you can't find it I suggest you get it online.

My old epic just looks so small I don't think I could go back to a smaller phone. I have had it less than a day and this phone is great. On a side note I finally saw an ad for the sprint version with LeBron in it. It seems like sprint is starting a little late on this one.

I saw that commercial too. It looks like a regular sized phone in his hands.

I've now had my GN2 for one week, after being on webOS since the launch date of the Palm Pre (6/6/09 -- yes, I stood in line that day). I later moved up to a "FrankenPre2," an AT&T Pre 2 with my Pre's Sprint comm board transplanted inside. I had high hopes for webOS, and it really is/was a great operating system, but the webOS ecosystem is dying out, even if some people are still working on the open source version of the O.S.

I'm getting used to Android, and there's a lot to like about it. It's got some features that are new and cool to me, and some of the apps are amazing. There are things about webOS that I miss, but I have a feeling more of those will be coming to Android over time, I'm hoping for a free wifi tether capability down the road, and it would be nice if Android multitasking someday moved to the type of card view that webOS has.

But the GN2 is awesome! A year or two ago I thought a 4" screen might be nice, but probably nothing bigger. Now I love the 5.5" screen on the GN2! It's a bit like skis, I think, which have been getting fatter and fatter over recent years. With each increase in width, people say that they are too big, too fat, but then folks ski on 'em and love how they perform.

I don't get all the reviews that suggest using a bluetooth headset so that you don't feel embarrassed about holding the GN2 up to your head (I use a headset in the car) . Hey, the GN2 is big, it's bad, and it's just an amazing device - I have no problem letting people see me use it (and ask, "What the #*%@ is that?!!??").

All things considered, this is a vastly superior experience to what I've had, and I am ecstatically happy to have made the move to a GN2.

I picked up my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 yesterday at Best Buy. I am a female and I love this phone, it's not too big for me and I have small hands.

Got one in white. Which is a first for me since I normally go with gray or black phones. Really liking the phone so far, but I feel like an idiot since I have never really used touchwiz before. I have been a die hard HTC fan for a long time running. LOL

Same thing here I am a HTC guy but don't like touchwiz at all I had to use different launcher and kinda dressed up my screen a little to get that htc sense feeling. Also first white color phone for me but looking good so far!

Bought mine off eBay on the 13th, got it today. White of course. Thought the S3 was going to be the last phone I bought this year, NOPE! Could not resist. Loving this beast!
I really thought between conceal carrying on my hip and having this in my pocket I was going to be heavy on that side, turns out it isn't bad at all.

My husband and I finally were close enough to our update date that we decided to get the note 2. We got them on Friday and so far we are blown away. He came from a Epic 4G and I from a Google Nexus 4G. My phone was frustrating me to no end and he was pretty happy with his until he actually got to hold the note in his hand. We are both older (yes over 60) and lettering is harder for us to see so this phone fit our needs nicely. We have watched all the tutorials and read the huge manual that Samsung will provide you with on their website. It is truly a remarkable phone. We haven't used it much yet for texting or calling but browsing the web is a delight. I was a little disappointed that FoxFi won't work on Jelly Bean but if that is the only thing we can't do then it is not much to give up. We were tethering our iPads to our other phones. I really didn't want to root the phone so quickly so will deal with the loss ok.

I got my titanium in color Note2 yesterday early noon time, and it was rooted by the afternoon. Followed qbking77 how to video, and it was a snap. I have owned one to many cell phones in the past, and I have finally found the phone that will keep me happy for the next 2 years. I can honestly say that I truly happy with a phone. Love watching Netflix on it, and the games are a blast to play on this beast. All I need now is a descent case with a kick stand.

Now back to my phone, lol...

Yes, got my Note II yesterday from Fedex. So happy now. Man this thing is huge! But I think I Love it. Typing hasn't been a problem even with 1 hand. Very thankful I won't have to be looking for a Note II on Black Friday. Even if I could have gotten it for cheaper. Feels good my friends. Can sleep like a baby tonight.

Enjoy I have for the past two weeks!!!

For those interested in a basic case, may I suggest the Ringke SLIM? As the name implies, it is very thin. Barely notice it is there. (No kickstand.)

Just got mine yesterday!!! I love it no doubt. It's just I get some wifi issues where my wifi randomly drops so I have to reload. Other than that I LOVE my new toy . Too bad I can't take a pic of it because it's my only phone now LOL
