[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Phylar:
I'm in the same boat as you. I've been mulling over this decision for about 2 weeks at least :)

Here's my pros and cons, and these are too me, a US AT&T user still in contract:

Note Pros:

- Screen

- CPU

- Battery

- Staying with AT&T

Cons:

- Importing and Warranty

- No ICS yet. This is big as it looks like exchange support is greatly improved there, and I'd like to ditch Touchdown

I don't consider the stylus much of a pro personally - I don't think I'll use it

Nexus Pros:

- Vanilla ICS

- NFC

- LTE sim swap with my Xoom (this is kinda minor, as WiFi hotspot is basically the same except that I can conserve my phone's battery if I were to go on a road trip)

- Better dev and app support because it will be more popular

Nexus Cons:

- very worried about battery life with LTE. I'd hope to go data only too, so I'd have GooVe IP signed in all the time.

- smaller screen, though it might be OK as I've had a Dell Streak and so many apps don't deal with gigantic screens very well.

- maybe slightly worse camera from my investigations

I probably should just buy the Note and be done with it, but I want to see what Verizon's off contract price is. if it's $600 that's hard to then justify getting a Note for around $750 I think. $650-700 will be a note autobuy I think... then again my ETF would be around $150, but going data only will save in the long run, but not sure if I can reliably recieve calls on GrooVe IP... meh... decisions.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] 5150Joker:
Nothing touches Galaxy Note on the market IMO. Engadget just did a hands-on test of the Galaxy Nexus and here's something they mention in their article:

The Note is a superior platform--bigger display, S-pen functionality, faster CPU, faster GPU. Why would anyone outside a developer want a Nexus? ICS is coming to our phone so there's no advantage there. People argue Touchwiz adds a layer of lag and I disagree, my phone with 2.3.6 gingerbread is lightning fast and I never see any lag.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cheng6991:
where can I get the 2.3.6 version? I tried to update my phone but it said my phone was all updated.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Twohothardware:
Agree with everything you said. I've been doing my research on both since I had been going back and forth on what phone I really wanted and even went with just the AT&T GS2 for a few days but in the end both the GS2 and Nexus both are inferior devices to what the Note offers and outside of getting ICS early I can't see any reason to buy the Nexus unless you just need a smaller phone. I'd rather wait and get ICS shortly down the road than to get it a few weeks earlier on lesser hardware.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bleclair:
I planned on playing with the Note for a while and getting the Nexus when available. At this point, I think I'm keeping the Note. I've come to the same conclusion as a lot of you guys, and I think if you like the screen size, the Note is definitely the way to go.

My thoughts:

1. ICS is coming. Until then, Gingerbread works great.

2. Battery life wasn't awesome, but then I installed Green Power and I'm quite happy.

3. The GPU is better.

4. The CPU is super fast.

5. The stylus is nice to have.

6. The speaker is better than the Nexus.

7. It has a microsd slot. A damn near unforgivable omission on the Nexus.

8. It works great for surfing, remote controlling a computer and reading books through the Kindle app.

and

9. I love the screen. I can't go back to anything much smaller now.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mecha2142:
I'd like to echo blecair's thoughts and contribute some of my own.

After changing the screen density to 240, I know there's no going back. The web browser actually displays the entire website with perfectly legible text. I only need one home screen to fit every widget and shortcut I need. Media playback is a dream come true with the exception of the not-so loudspeaker. While I personally haven't used the pen much since I got it yesterday, I'm sure there will be opportunities in which I'm glad to have it; it's better to have nothing and not need it than to need it and not have it. I'm coming from an Atrix and the phone isn't uncomfortable or awkward to hold at all; although I do have to use two hands at times, I really don't have a problem with that. The thinness of the device more than makes up for any of the flaws it may have design wise.

In my humble opinion, this is the perfect smartphone. It has stellar battery life, the biggest and most beautiful screen in the business, and hardware that allows it to blow every other device out of the water. I cannot WAIT to get Ice Cream Sandwich installed come January. Who needs a quad core HTC phone when you have this?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] 5150Joker:
It was an OTA update for me but I'm running the Asian phone (Hong Kong). Most people on XDA have the EU/UK versions.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] maxh:
I was excited about the Nexus for a long time, but now that it's here with lackluster specs, and I'm very happy with my Note, I'm no longer so excited. There's the items mentioned above, no micro-sd slot(!), crappier camera,... I'm also not very impressed with the design. ICS incorporating soft keys, allowing for the elimination of hardware buttons, should've resulted in a slimmer design with less bezel at the bottom, yet there's even more at the bottom of the Nexus between the bottom of the screen and the bottom of the phone than there is at the bottom of the GSII or Note, both of which have physical buttons!?!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bigmille:
I just don't understand why Google/Samsung will not put the best components on it's flagship device which many people will compare against iPhone.

Launch a top of line phone with only 16gb (more like 11gb useable), is completely unacceptable. No way I'm going to sign a 2 years contract for such little usable space.

If only the Nexus have the same SoC as the SGII and a micro SD card slot, it would be a much more competitive device.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Xaddict:
The stylus on the Note is the best of any device I've had(6+1).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] eug3n91:
Galaxy Nexus

I wanted the Note for a long time now and I've only recently switched to wanting the Nexus, because of its design.

Yes, the Nexus is better looking in my oppinion. Come on guys...is there really nothing else in favour of the Nexus...? I'm getting one of them when the Nexus is available over here in my little corner of the Earth and...still not convinced which one...

I'd go for the Nexus (as I'm an app developer) and I'm really attracted to the "pure android" thing. However...the Note's hardware is pretty compelling...

I'll go cut up some cartboard now, sized as both phones and see which feels better :D:D:D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] maxh:
I did a cardboard cut out of the Note and I gotta say the real phone is a lot different. The lack of weight made a big difference to my perception of one handed usability (real phone is much easier than cardboard would have you think) and there's no way to replicate the experience you get when you gaze into the wonder of 5.3" of super active matrix organic light emitting diode (sAMOLED) beauty turned on and staring you in the face.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ik911:
Come on Samsung release the white one in the uk FFS :( hate waiting not my thing
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] eug3n91:
Thanks mate. I'm 85% sold on the Note right now. However, there's...just one tiny thing I wanna know.

How do you operate it with one hand? Can you reach the notification bar and such? I know it's an overly dumb, subjective question, but I wanna hear how people handle that.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bengaz:
Ive got quite big hands.

You cannot possible comfortably operate the entire screen with one hand (thumb).

That doesn't matter really as most of the stuff you use (keyboard, widgets etc) are reachable with the one hand. I use a gell case which is quite grippy and helps loads to use one hand but without it the note is really slippy and would easily fall out of your hand with one handed use.

I was pondering for ages about the large phone size but when I picked up the note for the first hand the sheer lack of weight instantly told me I had made the right choice.

Did I mention I LOVE THIS PHONE:D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pjm77:
Go NOTE go NOTE go NOTE go go go!!! :D

Fantastic phone, I was thinking of nexus for a long time but when they announced the specs it was quite a disappointment. I am not a "raw google experience" type of guy so Note it is. This phone's size was (and still is to some degree) a bit intimidating, it takes time to get used to.

But the functionality, performance and sheer WOW factor are just more appealing than that for me. Plus battery life. I think this is the only smartphone on the market with half-decent battery life.

It is not possible to use this phone fully with just one hand unless parents made you carry boulders since the age of 3. But it is possible to learn to swype texts and perform many operations if you customize it a bit. But don't think that you'll be able to do it while walking down the busy street in a hurry or something. This comes from the guy with small to average and not very flexible hands.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bendoe91z28:
I went to best buy and picked up a galaxy player 5.0 before I ordered my note. It was a good decision to get the note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Xaddict:
The screen is sensational.

The constant argle-bargle over screen issues on the Note is unbelievable.

Barring some genuine issues with tint and marks, there is widespread disinformation about video and images not displaying in high quality.

It's difficult for someone to get clear info about the Note's display amid all the controversy.

Pentile or not, the screen is stunning. Sure, if you examine it with a magnifying glass, you see the limitations, but miss what's

Thanks maxh

just thought to let you know both shadowgun and sprinkle are out with adreno support

both plays lovely on the DHD a lot faster/smoother than the tegra version with chainfire

I'm actualy surprised by the performance adreno 205 its clearly a match to tegra 2

glad to hear that it's working well with the dhd. I was waiting on this game. Just realized that they optimized it for adreno. looking forward to playing it :]

[General Questions and Answers] dragas89:
I'm purchasing a phone this black Friday weekend for my girlfriend and I, along with a 2 year plan. My current choice is between the Nexus S 4g and the Motorola Photon. The Motorola photon specs look great, but I figured cm7 would already be up an running on the nexus as well as ics support in future. Nexus S 4g is free starting next friday with a new plan and Photon is around 50 bucks each with the new plan. What runs better, a motorola photon or nexus s 4g with OC CM7 and possible CM9, and which would be considered a better deal long run? Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] anon20:
To me, Nexus S 4G is the best phone in sprint right now. Had the evo 3d and the photon didn't like either.
[General Questions and Answers] BrianDigital:
cant tell you how the photon runs but my girl switched to the nexus from teh epic and its been alot easier for me no complaints from her and good battery life. Size might be an issue for your girl the the nexus is smaller

Matter of fact the only thing my girl mildly complains about is lack of cases
[General Questions and Answers] rapat:
I have a Nexus S4g. I tried a Photon out because of the supposedly better radios. I checked them side by side in many different locations and the Nexus was always showing better reception(dBm) even though Photon always showed more bars. The Photon was also very laggy and I didnt like the screen at all compared to the Nexus. I sold the Photon and I am still using the Nexus.
[General Questions and Answers] kncgcg:
If you wish to flash CM, of course the Nexus S, I heard Moto in US will be locked
[General Questions and Answers] N8ter:
I tried a photon and it was buttery smooth. At this point I consider the nexus sva waste of cashbfor an enthusiast. It was always terrible hardware. The onlybgood thing is faster updates.

I'd totally get the photon over the nexus, IMO. It isn't even a comparison there. Its like buying a Vibrant (better hardware than the nexus s) on black Friday, IMO. Why?
[General Questions and Answers] GamerJake0:
Nexus S of course.
[General Questions and Answers] MultiDev:
Hardware wise, the photon is better than the Nexus S in every way possible. The Nexus S is last generation while the Photon is current generation. Nexus S can;t really be fairly compared to the Photon. Sprint's current Android flagships are the Evo 3D, the Photon and Epic Touch (Galaxy S II). Nexus S isn't even in same category.

The CPU, GPU and internal memory is all better. The screen is higher resolution by a decent amount and the camera is better. It has a much bigger battery and the battery life is very good.

Software wise, Mototurd blows. It can be replaced easily with Launcher Pro or whatever you fancy. The stock ROM is surprisingly good and doesn't come with much bloatware that can't be installed. I'm running it and it works great.

The one huge problem with the Photon is the lack of 3rd party developer support. Basically, if you want lots of custom ROMs and tweaks and what not, the photon barely has much of this. It doesn't have a lot of XDA devs working on it. If you want good XDA dev support, I suggest the Evo 3D. If you don't care about custom ROMs and kernels, well then this isn't an issue for you.

Unless price is a concern, don't even bother with Nexus S. Its got nothing on the current generation of Android smartphones, including the Photon.

Is it actually 30KHz though? Just because it's called that doesn't mean it is.

The Mosquito anti-teenager device uses 17.4KHz as people over 25 mostly can't hear that frequency or above.
[Off-topic] oka1:
Ok acoustics 101

The hearing range of the human ear is 4cycles per sec to 20,000 cycles per second (20KHZ) most humans (90-95%) can only hear to 16000

The range of a piano runs from 27.5 (the lowest note to 4186 (the highest note)

Frequencies above 20,000 are not heard but do give impact on other sounds and do affect the quality of the sound

So, NO Frequencies will not have a hearing impacts and NO ... no one who is human has ever been able to demonstrate hearing above 20khz.

Super low (less than 10 cycles) frequencies can have a physical effect on humans though. They use this in warfare as an urban weapon.

Actually, Batman, AKA Clark Kent, was bitten by a radioactive bat while on a college day trip. He later developed super powers and found that the slightest noise would cause his ears to bleed, and he could sleep upside down. He caught many a criminal that wasn't expecting an upside down sleeping man.

[Off-topic] pulser_g2:
Just about to post this.

This is the biggest load of bollocks I've ever seen. I'd bet nobody here posting so far owns ANY speakers capable of 30kHz. Your phone CERTAINLY cannot...

And frequency isn't what damages your hearing (for these levels of signal) - it's amplitude (decibels).

So if you said, will a 180 dB ringtone damage my hearing, I'd say "yes", but still piss myself laughing, as your phone speaker isn't loud enough to output 180 dB. :D
