He's actually correct. The main issue is that the power button is directly opposite the volume buttons. Due to the size of the device, it's difficult to hit the power button without also hitting the volume buttons on the opposite site. The physical home button negates that. You'll see.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] reinbeau:
It's an opinion. I am only familiar with a device that has the power button opposite the volume rockers and I know how to hold it without activating the volume rockers, therefore there is nothing further for me to see. Fortunately I have big hands for a woman, and I can't wait to hold one :D

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dwboston:
It's an opinion shared by most user of the international Note. You seem to have all the answers. Best of luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigmout:
I do think the location of the power button is a valid concern only because the phone's so big and it's a complaint I've seen often. That said, I've also seen reports of the home button's failing. So, it seems you're damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Sure, here's one:

Can't recall precisely when he refers to battery life, but I believe he describes it as good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] reinbeau:
See, this is the kind of stuff that causes problems here. These opinions on the home button use were expressed by both sides. Those of us who don't care about it are being told to 'wait and see' as if somehow we'll change our minds when we already know we don't mind the difference. I don't have all the answers, but I surely do recognize when someone is trying to negate other's opinions. I'm not. We're all entitled. One side isn't wrong, one side isn't right, when it comes to personal preference. Insisting otherwise is what causes the friction here.

As others have stated, I can't wait to get the AT&T Note and see the split off of the support forums.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
We should all lighten up. The main ones I see on this thread with an attitude are the ones who will not realize that this phone has been out for months and many have experiences they are trying to share. Trying to squelch opinions usually does not work well either.

This is not a captivate. I will most likely have both models, so I do not have a horse in this race. Both models will have their advantages and disadvantages.

Not trying to be disrespectful, just calling it as I see it.

Until a specific ATT Galaxy Note forum is made, you are on the International Galaxy Note forum...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] HarmonyFlame:
Still, this is an at&t note thread. And while opinions and observations are respected, the bashing is not. I for one appreciate all the aspects at&t has done with the note, and don't mind the soc change (especially considering adreno 220 is just about better than Mali 400 anyway) or the MINOR hardware change.

Atleast they have the damn thing subsidized in some form or fashion as opposed to other carriers~
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigmout:
No, until the forums are separated, we're on the Galaxy Note forum, which includes the International, Korean, and AT&T variants.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dwboston:
It's ironic that many of the strongly held opinions are from folks who haven't held or used the device in any way.

I also look forward to the forum split.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] reinbeau:
Thank you for the edit. As for your last statement, no, you are on the Samsung Galaxy Note forum - that covers both models, for now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
The point of saying this is the International GNote forum is to say to not expect comments or comparision from owners of the International Model (Which are mainly International owners) is not realistic or helpful in my opinion.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DeRock13:
Strongly held opinions on both sides, please don't act like there isn derision coming from our camp only. I just said I don't get calling it "hunting for it." It is literally in the same place. I understand that it might not always be easy to activate it, but I think it's trivial if I occasionally hit the volume rocker. Would you rather it be on top? Apple would probably sue.

Does anyone know if the battery on the AT&T Note is the same as the international version Note?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigmout:
Agreed. My favorite example was when some guy who had the International Note and posted about whether to sell it for the AT&T version. Some other guy immediately chimed in telling the first guy to just buy the International Note, as if he didn't already own one, lol.

i dont believe the forums should be split entirely. but maybe a galaxy note lte specific subforum in the galaxy note forums. things like the accessories section dont really discriminate between the two devices.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DeRock13:
I can agree to an extent, but I still think for the sake of organizational OCD, it would be best to split. I can already see people "OMG my phone is teh borked! You didn't specifically say this wouldn't work on my version! I hate you and the bands you like!"

AT&T said that Samsung Galaxy Note would be available for preorders beginning Feb. 5 for delivery by Feb. 17.

I'm wondering if you order on the 5th you could get it a few days later. It says delivery "BY" the 17th. It doesn't say on the 17th. I'm crossing my fingers.:D

Now I just gotta decide on Carbon Blue or White. I never had a white phone but I gotta admit it looks damn sexy.:o

So if your getting one, what will it be Blue or White?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] The Jack of Clubs:
the problem with splitting the forums completely is the two devices go by the same name. people will go to one or another forum with the wrong device. devices with the same name that are split between gsm and cdma dont get fully separate forums.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] roperband:
You bought the Vivid two months ago and you're already upgrading your phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bwhitfield24:
Yep, bought it on release day. I like it and would keep it if the Note weren't coming out, but I want the bigger screen...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tbong777:
Since LTE is over a year out (likely longer) We are on dumb phone plans with a couple i9100s so Carrier branded is out. I am just starting to look at this device becasue the wife wanted to buy me a Fire for Christmas and now I am glad I said nah. The Note would solve both needs. a tablet and a phone ( the phone part I don't use much)

I like the FM radio in the i19100 as well as the home button. I would likely use my upgrades down the line on something I could sell to offset the cost and keep my i9100 as a back up or for the beach.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] emcnelly:
Hmm hadn't thought of that. Haha Thank you for bringing that to my attention a physical home button would have been nice oh well. :rolleyes:

It's Screen Off And Lock(free), and in addition to the notification bar link, you can put a button anywhere else, also.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] OrionBG:
Why does AT&T always have to F**K everything??? How on earth did they come with the idea of using a Qualcomm CPU again? This is .... I can't find a word it! This is a Major downgrade from the Exinos chip-set! This all means that the ROMs from GT-N7000 will NOT be Compatible in any way with the ROMs for the AT&T one! These are tho completely different devices sharing a common form-factor! I'm really happy that I'm not living in US! The mobile operators are the worst in the world!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] s1mpd1ddy:

seriously though I want the international version of the phone. I can live without LTE for now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Viamonte:
AT&T did one thing right, tough. Their model comes with the pen holder, the flip-case and the desktop dock which is, alone, around 50USD on eBay.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bkeaver:
from what I have read is that it will have LTE and also have the dual core crapdragon processor... so I dont know if I will jump on it or wait it out for quad-core processors to start marketing..

As far as I understood these are all Optional accessories that AT&T will offer in the stores, Not bundled with the device!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] L3rry:
I was debating between keeping my Galaxy Nexus or getting the AT&T Note. But with the 2 gen old A8 based snapdragon, I'll pass. Too bad the Exynos doesn't work with LTE at this point. The 1.4GHz Exynos would be nice. They couldn't find an A9 based chip or wait for and A15 chip? Oh well, it makes my decision an easy one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] reinbeau:
I only know a side button coming from a Captivate, so it doesn't bother me at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
Wonder how the snapdragon will do pushing pixels for a 5.3 inch HD screen? I am glad to have my gnote but will be interested to see the performance of the processor and the battery life on LTE.

Also if it does not launch with ICS, who knows when they will get it with ATT...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ap3604:
Might get this (white version looks gorgeous), but with LTE then I probably would need a spare battery to last the full day right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] reinbeau:
One of the things that drew me to the Note was the huge screen and the fact that the battery lasted - now it won't with LTE (I have no idea if I want LTE or not).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Longcat14:
Rumors are floating around that Samsung may have shoved the Dual Core Snapdragon S4 in the AT&T Note.

Thanks to that, a 1.5GHz S4 with the Adreno 225 would destroy the Apple A5 in terms of GPU, so you know how that fast that is.

In terms of CPU, it shouldn't have as much of a problem as the S3 to keep up with the Exynos.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] vileofmsz:
That would be awesome. Where did you see that at?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] emcnelly:
Yes I also would like to know where you see this? I'll be very happy if so!

This thing better come with 32GB of internal storage... I haven't seen an article yet that says it will though. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dscline:
Um, you do know that AT&T doesn't actually build phones, nor choose the CPUs, right? They simply say that want LTE. I'm sure if LTE worked on the Exynos, Samsung would be using their own chipset in the LTE phones rather than someone else's.

I have intl Note. There is advantage and disadvantage of physical Home button. Biggest advantage is that you have easy access to unlocking. This is really useful when you are resting phone somewhere and using only right hand to operate. The disadvantage is that you tend to press Home less amount of time but instead press Back couple of times to eventually reach the home.

It will have LTE, the International one doesn't, there seem to be pros and cons to that, too. I don't have anything yet, I've been waiting for the AT&T version to come out so I could use my upgrade.

I think he's referring to you having the Note in your signature, as if you currently own it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] imitenotbecrazy:
If you were referring to best buys protection, we do not cover lost or stolen. If you're talking about ATTs plan, it will be a $200 deductible and they blacklist the imei of the original phone and can technically charge you full retail for the replacement phone if it's found that the original imei is on your account. They can also disable that imei from accessing their network.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
I think the Best Buy replacement plan is for damaged phones, however you can purchase third party insurance to protect against damage, loss and theft. I bought it for my GNote for $59 for a year.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] imitenotbecrazy:
Correct on the best buy plan. Ours covers accidental with No deductible. Also if the phone is not able to be repairs it is "junked out" meaning they give a gift card for retail amount to get another phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
How much is it? I have bought many phones off contract from best buy. They are more expensive off contract but they match ATT which is good. (I know they are not supposed to, but the one I go to does price match due to several ATT stores within 5 miles)

I may consider getting the ATT GNote from them if I decide to get it. I heard ATT will be giving a 10% discount to existing ATT customers to get the GNote, not sure if it is on or off contract or both?

When I bought my Streak at Best Buy, they canceled up my unlimited plan and put me on a 2Gb plan. Once I found out the two days later they tried to claim it was ordered by AT&T. I went to the AT&T store and they blamed it on Best Buy. They had to send a message to AT&T corporate to get it straightened out. Of course according to AT&T, the Streak didn't exist, so that didn't help matters. It'll be difficult to give up my white Streak, especially since I bought it at Best Buy for $49.

I'll wait for the reports on the 17th before pulling the trigger.
