Rumor going around is the US versions are not launching with the multi-tasking feature. Really hope this isn't true. Anyone able to confirm one way or the other? (t-mobile) users?
Samsung Galaxy Note 2: Android 4.1, S Pen | Verizon Wireless
Right on Verizon's Note 2 page it says, "Multi-Task more than ever before..." And under that title says Multi Window with pictures of it, so I'd imagine at least with Verizon's model, we'll be able to do it right out of the box.
Snapz,Verizon serves itself above all else. It's delayed to brand the home button and to show samsung that they don't have to operate within the "mid-november" deadline that samsung announced for U.S. availability. Also, verizon wants the phone to fail. They intentionally passed on the original note because they thought it was too niche. It sold 10 million units worldwide so they were proven wrong but they can not admit it. If they delay their release and people buy the HTC DNA or an iPhone or a Razr Maxx or better yet go to another carrier and get a Note 2 then their Note 2 sales will be low and they can put a nice smug smile on and say,
"we told you, verizon customers don't like these giant phones."
Do you really think verizon has ever made a single decision pertaining to an Apple product? (besides passing on the original iPhone because they couldn't have control over it) Are you really that naive?
You miss the bigger picture, read my above post. They can't admit they are wrong. They do a pre order instead of ordering stock to be available on launch day. Because they do a preorder they know exactly how many phones to order, this way they don't have to have a fire sale and sell the note 2 for $99 in three months to get rid of overstock. Furthermore, with a month passed, they can look at total sales numbers and gauge how many phones to keep in stock going forward. All of these things serve their interest above the customer's interest. It is a win win really for them. Either they sell a small number and can brag that they were right all along and not be stuck with overstock, or they sell millions and make millions and brag about how they passed on the note 1 because they always knew the note 2 was better
you guys must have big red rings around your mouths and your jaws must really hurt?
Just chatted with a Rep.. not sure how reliable this is, but she said that it will be shipping with Multi-taskingView attachment 44478
