the nexus has a 4.3'' usable screen only (4.65-sw buttons), only some apk have the full screen options (say 3?). and no pen.

---------- Post added at 12:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 PM ----------

expansis has it in preorder for 630€ (italy) the 16gb version.

theclove in the uk has it for 670£...

i dont think it will cost less than 700€/650£ in shops, at least before xmas.
[Streak 5 General] Alexanderbooth:
Yeah I know they do but they have just estimated the cost on those websites, they haven't a clue how much it'll be.
[Streak 5 General] roperband:
I think it's going to be between the Note and the HTC Holiday for me (with my December upgrade date). I'm not switching carriers at this point, so it's AT&T FTW! ;)

And it's been bumped up to the 1st. :D
[Streak 5 General] Azamatka:
Streak was absolutely stunning, especially in September 2009, great screen, nice features. Galaxy Note should be absolutely stunning in 2011, great screen, nice features. :)
[Streak 5 General] gab182:
my next phone :cool:
[Streak 5 General] Alexanderbooth:
thats great i'm not due and upgrade till after christmas so hopefully it'll go down a bit more then :-D
[Streak 5 General] Fireslave:
Nice phone, specially for sketch!!
[Streak 5 General] slaydog:
And Samsung has already released the kernel source code for the Note. They have been great lately with helping devs, even donating free SG SII phones to custom rom developers to encourage them. A world of difference from Dell...

From many news articles on the subject:

"there are a lot of developers world-wide that don’t mind getting their hands a little dirty with a new source code. Samsung has recently dropped the source code for the Note via their Open Source Developer Center. I can only imagine what the devs will crank out for this device. Happy coding guys"
[Streak 5 General] chaosdefinesorder:
Hmm, looks like there might be some bad news on the Note here, guys!

I've been looking at the specs of the Note on various sites (including the official Samsung micro-site) and realised something about the screen...

It's super AMOLED (like the Galaxy S)

i.e. not super AMOLED plus (like the Galaxy S II)

This means that it will be Pen-Tile (RG-BG) rather than "correct" (RGB):(

I don't know about the rest of you, but unless this gets disproven on release (I really hope it does) then this completely and utterly rules out the Note for me. After reading about Pen-Tile ages ago, I asked to look at a friend's Galaxy S screen and holy cow it makes text look terrible!

The reason for this conclusion is from reading a website where they discovered that the Nexus Prime does not have a "plus" screen either and on inspection they found that it was indeed Pen-Tile, probably to cut costs, which means it would not surprise me if that was the case with the Note given the screen size...

Edit: Here's a source where the Note is even used as an example of a Pentile screen and why it's a bad thing: http://www.flatpanelshd.com/news.php?subaction=showfull&id=1319022037
[Streak 5 General] ThinkinBig:
Read this: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Sams...D---is-the-PenTile-matrix-bad-for-you_id23134 then tell me how you feel over pentile once you know what you're talking about :)
[Streak 5 General] Alexanderbooth:
I think the massive increase in screen resolution over the galaxy s2 will make up for the fact that it isn't pentile, I have no idea what this means to be fair, i'm betting I can't even tell the difference if the 2 types were right in front of me. Bets its the same as the 1080/720 debate, I find it very difficult to tell the difference between the 2

---------- Post added at 07:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 PM ----------

i've just looked at the images on those pages, I have 2 pc monitors side by side and with one image on one and the galaxy note image on the other, for me the note wins every time? anyone else think the same?
[Streak 5 General] chaosdefinesorder:
Thanks for that, has definitely helped put my mind at rest a bit

I did see a different website a very long time ago (around the time of the first Nexus 1 release) where the guy had an algorithm that created images that were greyscale, and indeed displayed as such on "regular" screens, but when displayed on a PenTile matrix, they had all the correct colours in place! Skies became blue etc, but it was always a greyscale image...

Edit: found it: http://www.metalev.org/2010/03/generating-false-color-images-on-nexus.html
[Streak 5 General] Chillz88:
Can't wait for this.. does anyone know wen this will be available in India... And how much will it cost there.. won't it cost lesser than in uk?
[Streak 5 General] watch_mania:
Yes, the screens looked pretty much the same. Especially on the texts. I think it would not be a problem for dark-on-bright texts. But how about bright-on-dark background texts?

Also, I'm wondering where Samsung is going to drive AMOLEDs in the future. Would it be AMOLED Pluses or high-res PenTiles? Seems that they're going to the latter, and regrets SII's screen? Or else it would made waiting for Note 2 in 2012 worth it :p
[Streak 5 General] chaosdefinesorder:
apparently the Galaxy Tab 7.7 has an AMOLED Plus screen so there must be something to going bigger with RGB screens...

incidentally, unless I'm mistaken, the AM bit means Active Matrix so it's more a way of adressing the pixels rather than a specific trade name. The "super" and "plus" are obviously added by Sammy. The same thing applies with TFT panels where you can get active matrix or thin film or liquid crystal on silicon etc...
[Streak 5 General] awexdasome:
Too Big

The Note's screen is too big IMHO, in comparison to Min5, an Xtra 0.3" screen size would make no different to your surfing quality but the added bigger size to pocket will be uncomfortable and an unnecessary upgrade. Since the Dell still can do all that and more than any new devices on the market, I would say NO to any upgrade until manufacturer can come up with a device that can sing, dance and help me fix my broken time time machine (Rolex, lol). Wake up and smell reality and stop listening to today ever increasing commercial propaganda (TV news, Ads, magazines, internet bullsh*ts etc ... well not all, lol).

Good Luck Samsung galaxy NOTE, hope you bring joy and happiness to weakness minds.

It seem that the Note wil bring joy and happiness to normal people after all. So, I will leave you this 'normal is what you and he is, and everyone ain't', cried the man in a new white jacket.
[Streak 5 General] Chillz88:
Dell can't be compared.. have you ever used a phone with an exinos processor like the s2.. it flies..Dell can't be compared with that processor.
[Streak 5 General] Nomgle:
The Galaxy Note is slightly smaller than the Streak - there's no problem fitting it in your pocket.

The screen is bigger, but the bezel is significantly smaller.

Phablet?

I just found out that the note is called a "phablet" LOL.

I guess streakers now can call their device a phablet too?

[Streak 5 General] Final5k:
I like the Galaxy Note but I don't like its front panel design - especially the big button on the middle which give it an old fashion look. Hopefully, AT&T or T-mobile will come up with their own new design of the Note if they release it.
[Streak 5 General] slaydog:
I bet At&t will revamp it with a 4.5" screen...
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
Personally I like how the home button is in the middle and is it's own button. It looks nicer and kinda feels right.

Very least it has no search button, that button is kinda useless for the amount of room it takes up.
[Streak 5 General] DMax99:
From these Specs:

Note has Dimensions	146.9 x 83 x 9.7 mm

Streak has Dimensions	152.9 x 79.1 x 10 mm

Does that mean the screen size of the note compare to the Streak is Shorter and Fatter? If that make sense.

Has it been released yet? I can find quite a few on ebay already from HK?!
[Streak 5 General] slaydog:
Yes, it is slightly shorter, slightly wider and a Tad Skinner. Not bad considering the battery is twice the size and the screen is larger...
[Streak 5 General] DMax99:
Do you guys reckon other big brands would come up with their new 5" phones or not. Trying to decide if it's worth the wait to see what other brands would follow Samsung's footsteps or not.
[Streak 5 General] undrwater:
You mean Dell's footsteps, I'm sure.
[Streak 5 General] Televinken:
I totally agree! Also the fact that it won't come with Gorilla Glass

makes this phone a no-go to me. But just relax - all manufacturers

are working on large screen phones, at this very moment. Soon the

market will be filled with even better ones, and with better looks...
[Streak 5 General] Techvir:
I thought it was gorilla glass screen.

I am sure it will be pretty strong glass - considering the ability to write on screen.

There is no news of a 5 inch sized screen in the near future...

This market is pretty narrow. I find that samsung is doing a great job in marketing this phone. Dell should have done a better job in this area.

Damn i miss my dell streak so much.
[Streak 5 General] borijess:
I would love to know when its coming to the u.s. Even though I could wait cause the devs in this forum keep making the streak even better. This is the first phone I have had that does not feel old. I love this thing and still have the new phone feeling with it. :-)

Sent from the SuperStreak! ;-)
[Streak 5 General] cnckck58:
+1 totally agree with Borijess
[Streak 5 General] DMax99:
It DOES come with Gorilla Glass.

I also hope other brands will come up with 5" phones too. I'm deciding whether to buy the Samsung Cote soon or wait for other brands such as HTC.

However, Samsung has always been my favourite brand. I love the Amoled screen on their phones. In fact I am using a Galaxy as my back up phone and Mp3 Player. The only reason I got Streak is because of its large screen size ofr video watching. So now Samsung came up with a 5" + Super Amoled is like perfect for me.
[Streak 5 General] p51d007:
LOL, those that bought the 4.3" SGS2 might be doing a Homer Simpson...

http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/31/atandt-brings-its-first-lte-smartphones-to-life-htc-vivid-and-sam/

4.5" SGS2 with LTE....granted at&t only has what, 4-5 LTE markets, but now

the original 4.5" screen size being released.

I might have to consider this...who knows if/when the Note will come to the USA.

I'll get this one off contract, full price, and if the NOTE does hit, get it on contract.
[Streak 5 General] oscar22:
Can you name than one manufacture that is working on a 5 inch + phone. I get the idea 4.7 inch is what they aiming for and that is not the same as five inch.
[Streak 5 General] slaydog:
The HTC Sensation XL seems fairly sweet, but as this points out, not quite as sweet as the Note:

http://cmvlive.com/technology/gadge...r-samsung-galaxy-note-the-big-screen-decision

I may have to "upgrade" to 4.5 or 4.7 inch phone because I have little hope of the Note coming to the USA soon. How annoying is that?

Edit: May have to consider the SGS2 "Skyrocket" as well...
[Streak 5 General] lchen5:
The only thing that I don't like Samsung Notes is its screen is not Super AMOLED plus(it's the one without plus).
[Streak 5 General] Alexanderbooth:
With the hi resolution you wont notice the difference, God when I play stuff on my 51 inch 3d plasma at 720, which isn't supper amoled plus the picture quality is unreal, and thats like 10 times bigger. Shut your whinging till you've actually seen the thing. Fair enough if your not convinced then but your just going off internet chatter. Every review I've read on the note so far says the screen is amazing!
[Streak 5 General] Televinken:
Source please! I emailed The GG company & specifically asked about the Galaxy Note.

Unfortunately, they gave a negative reply. I don't believe they lied to me, do you? :rolleyes:

You just wait and see. Just look at the screen size evolution, for the last 2 years...

[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
From what I read on engadget, it does NOT come with Gorilla glass, but keep in mind Gorrila glass is merely a brand

GG is corning's brand of aluminosilicate glass, I dont know if they have a patent on it or something. But if they didnt another company could manufacture it under a different name.
[Streak 5 General] p51d007:
I'm still considering a Note, but, will have to be with a state side company that allows returns. Depending IF the death star carries it, I would prefer to actually see one in person, before purchasing. I've bought a couple phones from overseas over the years, but if I'm gonna plunk down nearly a grand, I'd rather it be from someone I've done business with before.
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
I'd wait for amazon to stock them, price would prob drop a bit with them stocking it and i'd expect amazon listed stuff to be returnable.

the SGS/2 are available in their international/unbranded configuration so the gnote should be available soon ehough
[Streak 5 General] Final5k:
Have you guys take a look at the camera of the Note - according to reviews it's inferior to the Galaxy S2 series. Now this will probably the reason I will not consider the Note, unless AT&T/T-Mobile or an update firmware improves the photo/video part as well as the design which I find ugly!!
[Streak 5 General] asusgarb:
great camera and camcorder

just yesterday i've watched the video review of the SGN on telefonino.net, an awsome site about mobile devices in italy, my favorite one, because they are really professional.

in the review they talk about the camera, saying that it's great. now i don't know the galaxy s2 camera, but watching that video and the examples, i can tell that it's agreat camera and camcorder
[Streak 5 General] roperband:
I'very been playing with the Skyrocket and it's very nice. I still think the screen is a little small though, I want to hear more about the Note first (LTE only) but the Skyrocket is a great device.

[Sony Tablet S] jkr284:
Here You Go! (please excuse the smudgy screen!):

The Sony Tablet S Premium Leather Case at £69.99 here in the UK. You use it in 2 comfortable fold out Stands for either typing or movie playback etc. In the box you get the case, 5 spare gels for the top of the tablet and 4 peices of Velcro (you only need 2 peices of Velcro to secure the Tablet in Place. The Stitching and leather is of very high quality. The Top Curved area (that covers the thick end of the tablet is of a matte finish, feels like a tough rubberised material and is very good to grip (non slippy)

Pros:

Very High Quality Finish and Stitching.

Excellent for use as a stand for media use.

Excellent for Typing on a desk or your lap.

You don't have to take the Tablet out of the Case to use/recharge in the cradle.

Hole cut out for the Camera.

Plastic area for IR Remote to work.

Easy to use/Grip when case is folded open when using in your hand.

Cons:

Adds a lot of weight to the device at 250grams making a total of 848 grams (makes it feel as heavy as the iPad 1) Some people might opt for the standard case which is slightly lighter at 215 grams.

Can be a faff to get out of the case, the adhesive on the gels is that strong you feel like you are going to rip the Tablet apart if say you want to use the tablet around the house without the extra weight.

It would have been nice if the top of the Tablet was slightly magnetic and the case flap tip was also magnetic for that extra bit of surety that it will stay shut (I cant say i have had a problem where the flap has flung open yet.)

The Case feels and looks like a premium product:

You find the 2 raised bits of padding do a good job of automatically cleaning the parts of the screen they are touching when the case is closed, but obviously the middle strip wont be clean!!:

This is really sturdy and hardly any spring when typing whether its on your lap or on a table:

The Back of the case with a cut out for the rear camera:

A plastic panel to allow the IR Remote to work even when in the case:

Tablet S Stood rigid for movie/music/photo play back:

You have to leave on 2 strips of Velcro so the Tablet will stay in the case, also the 2 gels at the top of the case are sticky and very very secure:

The Tablet S sits comfortably in the official cradle even when in the case:
[Sony Tablet S] SCIONTX:
Thanks for the details and pics. Greatly appreciated. Now that I'm more informed, I think I'll pass and cancel my order for one. I really like using the device naked and don't want to sacrifice the ease of doing so. *sigh* The unique form factor really limits the availability of generic covers (not slip cases).
[Sony Tablet S] Bojanglez:
Looks pretty nice, other than that bloody velcro :mad:
[Sony Tablet S] ps3taker:
What is the model number of this case - i went to a sony centre today and they had a similar official case for £90 or so. I didn't even ask for it to be taken off the shelf as i thought it was to expensive. they said no other models were available yet. Now i wonder if it is the same model but at a premium price for some reason. Confused

I dont understand why they charge you for hotspot if you have unlimited everything else....i believe they shoud just give it to you then or as like a 2 year upgrade bonus
[EVO 4G General] j_shelton1988:
Because hotspot was an "industry first" with the EVO even though a lot of androids are capable of it. Just another ploy to make money.

Fanboys, just leave this thread. I am not interested in comments like "You are a hater, go away" "it's fine" "I am happy with, fast enough, deal with it".

What do you guys think? I know other manufactures won't take the time to integrate the hardware, takes a lot of time and money, but seeing as it's Googles own OS and Motorola will be soon owned by Google... Do you think Google will take the first step? If they do, then other manufacturers can't stay behind (google essentially forces others to follow), or do you think google will never do this "backstabbing".

It just annoys me that Android is still not silky smooth despite having a duo core in contrary to other single core phones that have their GUI powered by the GPU.
[General Topics] vetvito:
HTC and Samsung already make HW accelerated phones.
[General Topics] androidsjonnie:
Sense on the sensation is laggy no doubt about it, touchwiz for the galaxy s2 is smooth though.

But I was more thinking about the default android launcher, the default browser, etc. I mean if a stupid ipod can have a smoother GUI than a duo core HTC sensation then you get the picture.
[General Topics] AllGamer:
2 points to re-consider

Gingerbread is not Dual core optimized, next version of Ice Cream is

so it's too early to assume things about dual core doing no good on Android

Google already owns Motorola Mobility, but google did say they will not control Motorola Mobility actions, they continue to run as an independent company, and still have to compete to get the Nexus Manufacturing every year
