[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] isimme:
"Here are the facts my friends:"

-these are predominately not facts by xAnimal5

1. The 1.5ghz Crapdragon is not even on par with the 1.2ghz Exynos, let alone the

1.4ghz Exynos in terms of stability and performance.

-Agreed

2. AT&T has been throttling LTE users after only 1 DAY of use and they are forced

to use slower speeds.

-How many people complain about their LTE being fantastic versus those

on the tubes griping away=small minority with this issue.

Rationalization could be as well that they are abusing the bandwidth and

correspondingly adversely affecting other users in the area. Regardless the number

is very small fractional portion of total users.

3. AT&T ALWAYS butchers Samsung products to an unrecognizable point, so don't

expect ICS, let alone developers for custom ROMS if it doesn't ship with iCS, just

look at the ****rocket forums. They have like 2 real devs. haha

-A matter of aesthetic personal appeal. I think the "button" free is more

simplistic and appealing. A bunch of **** custom rom developers isn't worth

one good developer. Obviously it would be better if it shipped with ICS and

who knows maybe the delay has been about getting ICS on the AT&T note.

4. 4g LTE radios bulk up devices, look at VZW phones, they look like bricks... The

Galaxy Note LTE will be thicker than the OG Note, thus making it look like a true

brick.

-LTE does not mean considerably thicker. The Galaxy II is .35 inches thick

and Skyrocket is .37 inches, barely a noticeable difference. Someone probably

would not say "wow look at those two phones side by side, that one looks

like a real brick!"

5. By the time that the Galaxy Note LTE passes through a few Apple Lawsuits for

some bull**** and the FCC checks, it will most likely be another 5 months. (The

Galaxy Note II or the Galaxy SIII will most likely come out by then)

The AT&T Galaxy S2 was released 1 month before the Note's release....

-You don't know, may end up being true, but your not anyone in the know

and are not a player in the cell phone industry.

6. By the time that the Galaxy Note LTE comes out, we will have about 20x the

devs and users.

Compare the AT&T Samsung Galaxy SII forums and the Internations Samsung

Galaxy SII forums....

-More and more

pointless speculation until it happens,

if it happens

7. If those points haven't stopped you from buying that butchered phone, then I

don't know what will. Enjoy!

-Counter points: LTE(?), US Warranty, NFC(?), Cheaper Initial Pricing(Subsidized),

Better Physical Aesthetics(?)

Stop with the AT&T hate.

I don't work for AT&T, do get frustrated when in NYC and

use AT&T's network and it drops calls and slow data speeds,

but I have had Verizon as a carrier and had the same issues.

If you are in a population dense area you cannot expect flawless service.

Limitations on the number of non interfering signals in the air,

sheer quantity of users,

and switches/servers programmed by humans not being optimized to true potential.

As far as Samsung phones being "Butchered" by AT&T,

why has Apple since day 1 had total control over appearance

even before the iPhone got crazy popular?

Samsung changes the phones for AT&T by choice,

regardless if they are aware of it or not,

and want to or not.

Please try and keep posts actually factual, primarily positive,

and critically constructive. Thanks
