[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] carden12:
In addition to functional, consider the price..

http://skrt.pl/11z

Which is better?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wendyalison:
This can't even compare to the Galaxy Note, it's 7" for one, a lot thicker and heavier, has lower RAM and CPU, runs Android 2.2. The camera is laughable. This shouldn't even cost the price the seller is charging.

I'd say you should shop elsewhere and get yourself a decent quality-tested device, my friend.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pjm77:
Retro can be seriously cool, but the IT devices I use on everyday basis is the one department I wouldn't go retro with. Unless you want to chain it to ur neck and wear it as some kind of fashion statement. It's like buying a PC XT because it's bigger and cheaper.

Except for the battery life (probably), sheer screen size (but just diagonal, nothing else) and obviously price this thing is absolutely outclassed by note in every possible department. And not by a generation - by 2 or 3. I'd say - if u want to make ur life miserable and know how exactly android device shouldn't feel and work like - get it. Resistive 800 x 480 7" screen...lord help us...

EDIT: from the page you linked - work time: 3-5 hours, no GPS, weight: 473g. Think again, seriously.

A voice in my head says that this is a troll post...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shazbux:
Defo a troll!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] methree:
Wow carden12 that device you linked is awesome, and so cheap.

Please buy it and let us know what your experiences are with it, I can't wait!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] calin75:
Oh crap!!! I could have have 4 of those for what I paid for my Galaxy Note.

Maybe I can trade my Note for that 7 incher.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bbdj69:
Heh, we are lucky we can afford the Note. That would be nice for someone on a tighter buget, but strictly as a tablet with data connectivity. Doesn't make sense to carry that everywhere like a phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] carden12:
:(really?should I try with it?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
Why not?

You shouldn't compare it to the Note, though, it's a different market.

The main selling point of the Note is that it fits in your pockets, so it is a 24x7 device.

Anything bigger that isn't pocketable should be compared to their equivalent - larger (7"+) tablets.

- Frank
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] carden12:
you are right..the main selling point of the Note is that it fits in my pockets..

thanks Frank...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mha1021:
Price is good but it can't be used as a cellphone replacement. too big to carry around. even galaxy note is pretty big but at least note would fit in my pocket.... also 256mb Ram is not enough and processor is only 800mhz single core... i think its waist of money. you might use it for a couple of days and then you are gonna be frustrated b/c of it's sluggish performance and use it as a digital picture frame.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Will of fire:
I have been searching and i couldnt find my answer so im making a thread hoping someone can help. When i go into recovery i cannot selct anything with my power button at all, my volume buttons can scroll but thats it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjcollum:
they changed it use the home button

or i hear if you volume up repeatedly it'll renable the power button
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Will of fire:
oh ok i have struggling for so long thank you so much.!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iamtheug:
for me if you hit both vol up and down at the same time it toggled what it called "back button disabled" and caused the power button to function as the back button.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Will of fire:
that never happend to me, i guess I have to get used to using home key.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] analyst28:
When you boot into CWM hit volume up, then volume down, then volume up and you will get a message which will enable the power key. This seems to work on all versions, its just a matter of what the default is set to wen you enter CWM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Neomorpheos:
with reboot system highlighted i toggle the volume up down button and it enables the menu button
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
Holy tallito I wish I knew this sooner! I odined CWM just to get that damn button to work when there is key's to press in a fancy order to get the key functionality back. Silly ass me. Thanks for letting these tips know. Worth a thanks that I'm giving to every one of ya
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
This only happens when you have CWM version ending with "26 or 27". In the unofficial CWM recovery (v.23), it has the power button as the select.
[HTC Titan] XATAGuy:
Does anyone have any good intel as to when we may see the Titan at AT&T? Also, is there any new news as to when we might get Skype for WP7? Christmas is coming and I'm due for an upgrade!

Dave
[HTC Titan] Erik Latranyi:
Microsoft held a big WP7 event in NYC today. They showed off all the phones.

The only good tidbit out of the event (that we did not already know) was that the HTC Titan on AT&T would be priced around $200.

No release date was given by AT&T and the demo units were not even branded, which makes some reporters think it will be some time before we see units in the stores.

So, I am waiting also as I am eligible for an upgrade and will use it for the Titan!
[HTC Titan] Illicit Hero:
Eligible for an upgrade myself, dying to get one.
[HTC Titan] Rcf686:
I was at an ATT Corporate store yesterday looking at the Focus S and he said their releases were on the 1 and 3rd Sundays of the month. He thought it was probably going to be Nov 20th. He didnt have any exact knowledge of the date. He didnt think any other major ones would be released after that for the holidays.
[HTC Titan] Erik Latranyi:
Confirmed by AT&T today online that the Titan will be in stores November 20th.
[HTC Titan] Dragon Queen:
happy Dance, cant wait. Too bad I am working that whole day :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] JoyR2:
If those are your gripes, this phone must be amazing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vinokirk:
Thanks for your POV!

With regards to 1,6 and 8, I agree that these are Samsung wide problems at the moment. But obviously its all down to personal preference. I use ADW Ex on my SGS2 but the fact that you can't use the Samsung S widgets on it means I might actually try TW for a while first!

Just out of interest, where did you get your Not from and how much did you pay in total for it?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wendyalison:
Haha...yes, other than the poor voice quality, I do think it's an amazing device. ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wendyalison:
I got it from a shopping plaza in Mong Kok District of Hong Kong. That plaza sells many 2nd hand as well as new imported phones. I got mine for HK$5760 (~USD 742), they also allowed me to trade-in my good ol' Milestone 2 so I only paid a total of HK$4160 (~USD 536).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] RashaMatt:
1) Notification LED - hopefully we will get a custom kernel with BLN support soon :D You have rooted it, right??

8) So TouchWiz sux - but there are lots of other Launchers to choose from.

10) Actually you CAN remove the SIM and sdcard without removing the battery - you just need to pry up the edge with a small tool - they are pretty flexible.

I'll add two gripes to your list:

- The protective camera glass on the back is slightly RAISED, so it is gonna get scratched up FAST if you ever put your Note down on any dirty/uneven surface. And because the glass is actually part of the CAMERA (not the case), it's probably not replaceable.

- The S-pen is too small, and pretty laggy in some apps, making it not even worth using (like drawing). And its touch-sensitivity is pretty worthless. And you can't tap the menu/back buttons with it.

But I still love my Note :) And it's only gonna get better as the custom ROMs start showing up.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wendyalison:
...which would make some of the widgets obsolete.

...true, but why need a tool in the first place, why can't Samsung just design it so you can remove them easily?

Strange, but my camera glass is actually indented into the area surrounded by the metal square. My Note is imported from Poland, I wonder if they have different builds?

Yes, you're right about the small part, I'm Asian and a girl, so my hands are pretty small which makes the pen just right, but I can understand some people with bigger hands will find using it a real pain. I do agree with you on the other points!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] RashaMatt:
I got a Polish "plus" Network model too (from handtec.co.uk) - how weird. Poor quality control...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
First some comments on the above gripes :

noled shows you led notifications without you needing to touch the screen. It's pretty decent. I'd rather have a real led but it's not bad at all. Try it.

If you are using the stylus you hit the button and swipe up for the menu, and or swipe left to go back. That's how you get around the button issue.

Now my gripes:

The capacitive buttons (menu, back) are WAY too sensitive and I find myself accidentally hitting them constantly. One handed use is almost possible too, but I keep rubbing those buttons and it wrecks everything.

I think I need more friction to write with the stylus - I don't use it much at the moment.

- Frank
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tito17182:
Performance

what about the performance is there an issue or lag

as i couldn't get a conclusion of this point
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bbdj69:
Do you find that NoLed impares the battery function of your phone? I have heard reviews on the SGS2 that it kills the battery while others say it is OK. As far as I am aware, NoLed turns the entire screen on while displaying its mini icons, would be nice if it could just activate a few icons on the top left or right of the screen.

I guess they put the notification LED in the Nexus, keeping it excluisive to that.

I am willing to buy the Note sight unseen because I love my friends S2's and I drooled over the LTE HD edition coming out. The Note is like 50 times better. I can't wait for my shipment on Monday!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wendyalison:
Depends what you're running. With Launcher Pro, I do feel a wee bit of lag when I use the Pulse widgets on one of the homescreens, I have 3 of those dragged out though and they all need to gather data, so I wouldn't expect it to go smoothly.

Otherwise, i'm playing Asphalt 6 while playing music with PowerAmp and I don't feel lag.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] csasek:
AWESOME!!!

I will go there first chance I get!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
First of all, remember that this is amoled and each pixel is lit up individually. So it doesn't 'turn the entire screen' on unless you turn the entire screen white. Or you run on an lcd phone with a backlight.

It runs fine for me at the moment Although i want to do more battery tests to see what uses how much power. It could still be the case that noled drains battery via cpu usage or wakeups.

Frank
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bbdj69:
This is from the NoLed FAQ, similarly to what I have read online, opinion varies:

Q: What about battery drainage ? How much battery percentage does this app consume per hour ?

A: To answer this question, I quote our friend evilhunter101 from xda-forums.com

"That's a question that simply can't be answered for you and everyone else who wonders. Why? Because all the available settings change the battery consumption, as well as what other apps you have installed and what kernel or OS you are using. Simply put, try the app. If you like it, keep it. If not, uninstall it. You have literally got nothing to lose.

P.s. I see no difference with or without NoLED, while others swear its a battery hog. I imagine we have it set up very differently."
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] AC07:
the MHL adaptor for GS2 working well~~
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Skerved:
I am a short guy with pretty small hands, so I'm curious about how you feel using it. Is it even possible to do anything one-handed for you? Do you feel it's comfortable holding in one hand and using the other other for navigating? And finally, is it comfortable using the on-screen keyboard, might it be too big?

Thanks for your input so far. Good having people saying what's not so good as well. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tocache:
Where did you get the Galaxy Note? at the plaza in argyle street at the end of ladies market? If so I couldn't find one...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shazbux:
Fair comments,

Actually make me feel a lot more confident in buying the Note - just need to convince the wife now!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bigmout:
Not following this comment. NoLED doesn't require you to press any buttons.

Wait, you're saying call quality through earphones is WORSE than call quality just holding the phone? This is very alarming as that's how I make most of my calls. Can anyone else confirm this?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ephestione:
I would like to add:

11) No lanyard hook. Dang, the SGS2 has it, and it's got less perimeter :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gadgety:
Thank you for the mini review Wendy. To me the a/v out is a bummer. With a device this big I'd like to be able to display powerpoint presentations in meetings and not have to drag my PC along. Of course this is a reason to upgrade to the Note II whenever that arrives, but Samsung just might lose my business this time, however tempting this device is.

EDIT. I just realized. I'm using a Nokia video out cable with my Omnia II, which enables showing videos on a TV set from the audio out on the phone. I wonder if this might work with the Note?

---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------

Ooops. Hadn't looked through all the entries. Great to know!

---------- Post added at 09:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 PM ----------

1. What about the audio quality with a BT headset. I use a Motorola headset with Crystal Talk. Should work well with the Note, right ?

2. What about the voice commands. Anyone try them? Do they work with a BT headset?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wendyalison:
I find it wonderfully comfortable despite the large size, and unless I'm typing or gaming, one-hand operation is easy as it is so lightweight. Most of the time, you can do typing in portrait mode, it's really great, but on landscape, using thumb keyboard is definitely the best!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wendyalison:
I got it at Sincere Plaza, Mong Kok MTR Station Exit D2. The whole shopping mall sells phones (imported, 2nd-hand and regular official released ones). You should check out that place first!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tommy1971:
do you work near Quarrybay? I saw a girl using the Note last Friday!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Xaddict:
Agree with you

Jury's still out.

Agree.

Can live without too many buttons.

Disagree.

It's excellent.

Dunno.

Seems ok to me.

Download the manual pdf to your phone.

Let's see what ICS is like.

And wait for some good developers here to improve it.

It is fine for note taking and writing and using in apps.

Agreed, but what do you do?

The more slots and holes, the more potential for damage.

I had a Touch Cruise.

The cover on the sd slot broke.

That left the phone open to moisture and dirt.

I'm glad the Note has less buttons than my HD2.

Far easier to use.

Well, yea!

Get an MHL usb adapter for HDMI out.(720p)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Guitarfreak26:
My only gripes are scrolling between screens is not as smooth as my s2 and I find the s pen hard to find

Sent frobutton on them my GT-N7000 using XDA App
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wendyalison:
Hi Tommy,

No, I work in Central but I do trespass Quarry Bay now and then, not this last Friday though, it'd be fun to gather Note users around HK while it still hasn't been released yet.

Do you own one?

/Wendy
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shEEEsh:
So far my only "gripe" is that mine won't be here until Monday !!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Sharpshooterrr:
Possibly one of the hardest ones to deal with. :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jackleung:
Hi Wendy, thanks a lot for you review. Do you find the white version in Hong Kong now (or any news when it will be available)? I may go back to HK in Dec and hopefully I can purchase the white version.

I believe many of your gripes can actually be solve soon after the developers get their hands on this device. At least this is the case for the similar device I own, the GS2.

1. Wait for BLN mod

2. Totally agree on this one. Use a A2DP headset like MW600 to bypass the Yamaha decode process (although A2DP is lossy in nature)

3. Wait for camera mod to use volume button as shutter button

4. Try discuss.hk or mobile01.com to see if anyone leaks of the HTC Touch Input method for your resolution. I am using this along with iFly input method on my GS2

6. I prefer GoLauncher normally, so I probably will fall into the same dilemma...

10. Although I have the same preference, but I think this is by design to avoid user take out the SD card while there are read/write operation on the card.

11. As others already mention, the USB is MHL supported for video/audio output to TV/projector. I believe GN may support DLNA and AllShare like GS2 too.

My major grip for GN is lanyard hook. I am really worry dropping this phone because of its size....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rockky:
I luuuuv this device. I am relatively stunned actually that the download speeds are so much slower than my SGS2. (Tested by simultaneous downloading various heavy graphic sites). Tested primarily with both on the same wifi signal.

I do a lot of browsing.

Anyone else find this?

I don't think its running the exynos chip.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
Can you explain why you bought the Note for you would have known about your gripes such as no notification LED or no dedicated camera button, power button opposite the volume button etc. before you bought it? I suppose you must have felt that it was still the best phone available despite the gripes.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Dragooon123:
It is running the Exynos SoC, and I am finding my download speeds quite faster than my Galaxy S1(One, not two).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
She said in the beginning that she loves the Note.

That being said, it's not a perfect device and it's good to air out little things that you would like to be changed in the Galaxy Note II. (we can dream, right?)

- Frank
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
No device is perfect, but it is a contradiction for someone to say they love a device and then produce a long list of gripes that would do justice to someone who hated it. If the article had been more balanced with more of the things she loved then it would have been more believable. Which is why I asked her why she bought the Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shEEEsh:
REGARDING WENDY'S REVIEW: If I had all these complaints in such a short time, I would have removed my sim and had it back in the box already. Maybe in the mail back to wherever it came from. I think I am NOT going pay attention to that post and wait for mine to arrive..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
I agree with you. It does appear disingenuous to say you love something and then produce a long list of very detailed gripes.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Pere:
Sorry, I don't agree. Wendy loves her new Note but she es not a Fan-boy (sorry,can we say Fan-girl?) and makes a list of points-to-be-improved-to-be-perfect.

I love mi present device but, since the first day,I was able to list the things that I did'nt completely agree.

Thanks Wendy
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jason370:
Wendy's review is one of the best, well thought out, and articulate I've read on xda. One can like or love something while being able to understand it's flaws and imperfections. I really appreciated this review; especially the tone of honesty.

Wendy, you rock and thanks.

Jason
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
Because no device is perfect and no device can suit everyone then it is easy to find a few things you would like to change which is fair enough. However, it beggers belief that anyone could dislike that many things on a device and still love it. If I had that many gripes about a device not only would I not love it, I wouldn't have bought it. You're right, she certainly doesn't sound like a Note fan-girl. Anyway, I would still like to hear from her why she bought the Note in spite of her long list of gripes. Over to you Wendy.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jason370:
This seems highly counterproductive to ask Wendy to take the witness stand in defense your interpretation of her generous review. You might just discourage future reviews, and that would be a shame as I actually decided to buy the note based on her review.

I found her gripes to be noteworthy yet not compelling enough to dissuade me from buying. Most can (and will) be fixed with software updates or custom roms.

I wouldn't respond.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
I am merely expressing my opinion in a reasonable way and inviting a response from the person who wrote the review. It was a generous review and some of the points I agree with such as the power button being opposite the volume button. However, although I feel I have raised a valid point, I am going to let the matter rest and hope that I have not discouraged anyone from writing a review or offended anyone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
meh, deleting my post.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wendyalison:
White version is not out yet, but with the success off the white Samsung Galaxy SII, I'm sure it'll be. However, while it's nice to look at, I don't think white would be a great idea. The back is plastic and is a large area, I think it'd turn yellow pretty fast unless you switch phones often. Girls would love white, but I still chose the black(blue) as it looks more business-like.

Totally agree, and it's the reason why my gripes did not deter me from buying or compelled me to return it. I think you might want to get a cover for it, just a screen protector won't be enough and lanyard is just "double insurance".
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jason370:
Can you review covers too? I'm debating sleeve vs flip cover.
