Galaxy Note 2 waiting Lounge

god I hate sense and touchwiz and the first thing I will do is use another launcher until I can rom the effing S out of these phones

honestly I use my phone more for games videos and music... I do A LOT of internet research but I'm always playing a game or watching something online.... the DNA is really really nice looking... but that battery.... ick... and the lack of SD card.. that really really is upsetting... those two alone are basically making the decision for me.

maybe a case with a built in SD card slot where the case plugs into the charging port with a passthrough? I'm sure that would be possible with USB OTG.

the wireless charging is pretty cool. I'd love to see how well it works... and how far the charger can charge... do I have to lay it on a pad... that kind of stuff... because just dropping my phone on the desk to let it charge wouldn't be that bad.

the wireless charging I've seen thus far use either a pad or mat to rest your phone on and the phone doesn't quite charge as fast as being plugged into the wall

Yeah but why advertise a phone with that screen and music ability to be used minimally. That would be like me letting you test drive a Ferrari that only has a quart of gas in it and a gas station 60 miles away.

The samsung galaxy note 2 will be my first non-motorola phone since 1993. The reason I'm trying the note 2 is because samsung is doing what customers want. They're building devices with expandable memory, big batteries, great cameras, good build quality, upgrades that work without having to do a FDR. My moto phones served me well until upgrades. They will not work without a fdr. Had issues with the X and bionic. Their cameras suck too.

wow thats a long time.. I had motos off and on for a while now.. my earliest one was the startac that I can remember..2 nextels... d1...dx... dbionic.. but I'm moving on as well to samsung.. I'm buying off contract so if I don't get the note2, it will be the s3.. both great phones.. s3 being the cheaper of course $300-360 locally on Craigslist

It is a huge phone so it has room for a huge battery 3100mah while still remaining very thin. The only thing the market with a bigger battery is the razr maxx hd with a 3300mah battery but the note 2 has a removable battery so will probably see 5000-6000mah extended batteries for it

I went to BB the other night and played with the Note II. So unless Verizon model is gonna come a lil different then I don't see being removable?

All of my first phones where LG... I really wish LG would step up and make better phones... anyone remember the prada? It was one of if not the first capacitive touch screen phone. What happened to innovation like that.

despite the Amazing numbes the HTC Droid DNA is putting up. I still want the Note 2. I hope the DNAs lower price and Buzz will push the Price of the Note 2 Down quickly! Wishful Thinking!

I just wish they would ship my NOTE 2 already!!!! AAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG:angry:
 
I went to Best Buy and they just got in the Demo model of the Note 2 for Verizon.

I just wanted to let you know of some changes I noticed compared to other Note 2s.

First thing is the digital clock widget is gone. This is the clean simple clock widget you see just the time and date on. This was kind of disappointing to me.

Second thing is there is no wifi toggle on the top of the notifications. Instead it has an ongoing notification which can kill battery life faster.

The third thing I want to note (no pun intended) is that Verizon's version DOES in fact have the multitasking ready to go. You won't have to wait for an update for this feature.

I wish I could have tested reception but Best Buy doesn't activate any of their demo phones.

All kind if clock widgets can be found at google play.

Did notification pull down top section scroll right/left? Why would wifi toggle be missing?

What was ongoing notification? I believe they can be turned on and off in settings. Wonder if wifi can also be selected.
 
Lower price for the dna, reflects the fact that the note 2 offers more. And IT DOES. Especially since the dna will be so underpowered. If you get 5-6 hours under average use, I'd be surprised.
 
That stupid wifi deal will get annoying and will be the first thing to go. I don't thank it will kill the battery cause its not really doing anything. I watched phone dogs unboxing of the DNA and he said Verizon would start doing this with new phones which is dumb. I will not be able to stand that when I scroll down, dumb Verizon.
