This sucks!! Help! Do I go with Note 2 or hold out for S4

Since it is soooo close to the release of S4, I would wait for it to come out. I am sure there will be surprises in there that won't be beaten by Note 2.

It's settled!. NOTE 2 IN THE HOUSE!!! I went to Best today. I found out that Target is selling the Note 2 for $199 and the S3 for $99. So long story short, the guy at Best Buy looked I'd up on line and gave me the price match, and even threw in a holster.
So happy I didn't go iPhone

oops... didn't notice this... Are you OK with the size of the Note 2?

I was really stoked about this phone when the rumour mill started. I was hoping to replace my old Thunderbolt with it. Now that I am reading about all the "downgrades" to it, I might just go for the note 2 as target has it for $199.00

Where did you get the Samsung press release telling about the "downgrades"?

Oh, you mean the unsubstantiated hype and FUD roller coaster that always precedes a release.

Anyway, if I were the OP, I would have probably bought a $50 off contract phone from Ebay or some such to wait out the announcements. Yes, in 3 to 6 months there will always be something newer, but at the same time, this particular time of year (right before and after MWC) one month of waiting will give you a clear indicator of about 75% of what will be available for the next 6 to 9 months.
