Demo units arrive in Verizon Store.

And does anyone know if the continuous scrolling can be reinstated after rooting, by hacking using editors or something?

Verizon had nothing to do with doing away with the continuous scroll. I am betting it has something to do with JB or altered UI. Hopefully they will ad it to a future update.

then why do the other note 2s w/ the other carriers have this feature?

But VZW SGS III has it and TMO Note II has it. I've used the TMO one a couple of times.

some people here just have no logic + a friend/family member working at verizon
so they feel compelled to defend the company regardless of what the facts are

Son of a bish! Well now I don't know what to do. It's not that it's a feature that makes of breaks the phone but when I take the sum o things VZW has done with this phone from delayed launch, logo on home button, locked bootloader, and now this, I just can't bring myself to support that by buying it. It's the principle of it. Ill probably either pass or look at moving my five lines to AT&T. The SGS III has the feature, why screw with it.

Wah wah.... Stick to your iPhone, son!

I have a hard time believing Verizon would have Samsung take that feature from the Note II. To what benefit. Did the TMO unit have the multi task window update when you played with it? I am just wondering if you played with it before the update. I could see multi task window messing with it.

My T-Mobile Note 2 has continuous scrolling. One of the reasons I left Verizon for TMo is their poor handling (from my perspective) of the Note 2 launch. If the reason they delayed it was just to eff around with it, then they can keep them IMO.

Edit: The multi-window feature hasn't pushed out to T-Mobile's Note 2s yet. I don't see a reason why it would break that, and as far as I'm aware the international versions have both multi-window and continuous scrolling. It's sounding like this may be another Verizon request, but time will tell when updates push out to Notes on other carriers.

I didn't know about that feature when I tried it out but from what I've read I don't think they have it yet. At the time I didn't know about that multitasking feature till my buddy infmethod told me about it.

Do you have the recent update for the multi windows?

Hush. You should be thankful I talked you into leaving WinMo for Android back in the day

Exactly! And Roll Tide!

I thought I read somewhere that with continuous scrolling you get a screen refresh or something like that when scrolling jumps from end to first screen and vice versa. I am curious to see if the international version actually works.

I believe there are a few youtube videos out there that demonstrate it(not on purpose, but in the normal course of the review) but I can't remember offhand which ones.

So I was able to spend a few hours with a demo unit tonight. It's huge and awesome. I think maybe ill be selling my S3 to get one. The Titanium Grey is very nice.

The logo on the home button is really very small and I forgot about it after I gazed at that giant beautiful screen.

That stinks! One of my favorite features with any launcher.

I bet Verizon made Samsung take that feature away. Lol

DNA has it.

I seriously hope this thread and some of the obnoxious mess in here isn't going to be indicative of the community for the Note 2. I love the Android community as a whole but seriously people...personal attacks over a damn logo? Can we at least pretend to be civil and work towards the common goal of enjoying the phone we're all spending way too much money on?

So if u bought a ford truck, would u be upset if they had a huge ford logo painted on the hood?? FORD. Just saying. Seems similar type of advertisement going on

Third party launchers break most of the stock launcher features. I will miss the continuous scrolling but I wouldn't trade most of the Note II features to use a third party launcher.
