Galaxy Note 2 waiting Lounge
- Thread starter pc747
- Start date
I still say the N2 is a 2 year device. That's mostly because it will take us 2 years to figure out & really understand everything it can do. Otherwise, most of us will figure out our favorite uses & forget the rest.
Oh I agree there, somethings you don't know until someone else does something and your like cool I can do that lol. Or you
Know great it does that but forget later. I like the Palm swipe for screen shots cause I'm always forgetting how to do them on the galaxy nexus.

Has anyone heard definitively yet whether or not the Verizon Note 2 will be global and unlocked so that you can put in a foreign sim card when overseas like you can do with the Razrs?

Well its the 24th Verizon, where's my Note 2 lol. Maybe it will hit the shelves tomorrow. As far as the HTC, I don't see how this will be anything to great, with a $199.99 price I can't see it being a quad core 1080P

They are, but to many customers (if not most customers), the upfront cost is what they consider the most. Sure a lot of people would probably save money over the course of two years going with T-Mobile and paying the higher cost for the Note 2, but the fact that it's nearly $100 more up front than what every other major carrier is offering is off-putting to a lot of people. That's why phones that are free with a new contract are so popular - it's the upfront cost that people really notice. For a carrier that's so far behind the other three major carriers, you would think T-Mobile would want to try to compete on every level, including the upfront cost. The price is even more of a low blow when you consider it doesn't have LTE capabilities for when T-Mobile gets around to enabling their supposedly coming network.

Just read some possible bad news guys. On DROID life they have been doing a review of their T-Mobile unit which they have had for a few days and they said the multi window function is not on the device yet. If this is the case with all carriers like VZW we might have to wait months. WTF???

The international version also launched without the multi-window function, and it was added in with a software update at some point after launch. I'm going to guess that Samsung made the original versions of the software for the international version and the U.S. versions around the same time, and the length of time that the carrier approvals take in the U.S. prevented the update with the multi-window function from being included at launch.
Let me say the phone is not dell streak embarrassing big but if you felt the s3 was pushing it or you hate using Bluetooth head phones to talk then you may want to pass on this phone. As far as speed it definitely smooth. Smoother than the Maxx hd, honestly it is hard to tell. I am sure if you had them side by side and nitpicked you could see something but for day to day use the extra ram and cores help keep the phone operating smooth. Any one who used a Samsung tablet know how all the features constantly running weighs down the system. So adding more space helps with that. Where as the new blur is clean so no real need for the extra.
Did not mess with camera.
So my verdict is yes this is the phone for me. But if you want simple, easy to hold, every day phone then RAZR HD may be for you. Because with all the features on the note 2 there will be some learning for sure.

Those aren't launch dates on the list. Notice the initial date for the Galaxy S3 - June 4, 2012. It wasn't actually available until well into July. All the initial dates mean is that the device is expected to launch at some point on or after that. Verizon often has targeted launch windows for devices due to their lengthy testing process, with exact release dates sometimes not coming until shortly before the device is actually launched. So, for the Note 2, that list sadly gives us no new information, even though tech sites are incorrectly treating it like it does. It just means that it will be available sometime after today, which we already knew.
The price does make the HTC a little more interesting though. I agree that it would be odd for them to release it at $199 given its rumored specs, but the model number lines up with the 5", quad-core, 1080p DLX. I wouldn't be surprised if, given the Droid branding, Verizon does some aggressive marketing for it (including the lower price) and just kind of lets Samsung market the Note 2 on their own as has been the case with the S3.
okay, now we're talking-NOT!
Verizon Galaxy Note 2 Pre-Orders Starting at Midnight?
My fingers are crossed that it happens soon because my DX is on its last leg and I use it for work-not good!

Wow. I don't think anyone actually expected this to be in the final version of the device.
