Actually, I did. And I might add, I laughed my ass off.

Sure, this article is coming from someone who saw the device, not someone who owns the device. It isnt much of a review, its a rant on how big and awkward the Note LOOKS.

The author is entitled to his opinion AND entitled to share his opinion.

However, anyone reading this article can tell just by the title of the article that it isnt a product review at all but rather a bias'd viewpoint of something he doesnt really understand.

"An Open Letter To the 5 Million Confused People Who Bought a Samsung Galaxy Note"

Again, if you cant read an article for what it is and understand the bias for what it is, you probably should consider honing this skill.

Now, I dont agree with his insults to those of us who own this product and he certainly is off his rocker if he believes that because of the Notes success that phone developers are going to drop the 3-5 inch models and go super size.

But you have to admit, the first time you saw / picked up the Note and likely the first day of use, it was a bit awkward getting used to the size.

However, now, I cant pick up my Captivate without scratching my head wondering how I thought it was such a bigger screen and all I really needed in a phone. Because God damn the Captivate is puny compared to the Note.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Reclaim:
That's just it. It's not professional journalism to insult the people who adapt it by saying we're stupid and dumb for having an opinion and preference while he shoves his down people's throats. The anger comes from that. Not because it's just his opinion. An "article" like that belongs on a personal blog, and not on a site that wants to bee seen as a reliable source for news. I'm not the kind of person who gets upset because someone disagrees with me. Though I do get upset when I'm constantly reading insulting, unfounded, crybaby rants when I'm trying to check out news. I'll also add that Sam Biddle doesn't research very well either. Case in point. To him, everyone is stupid who owns a Galaxy Note. Just one day before he bashed it by saying the "human population had not and will not come around about the Note". This was said and left me scratching my head and saw he provided NO sources for that information. A very tiny bit of googling led me to Engadget and an article (complete with sources) about 5 million units being shipped.

That is my problem. Internet "news" sites get away with way too much unprofessionalism these days and it's a real problem. It's a conflict of interest and propaganda to sway your thinking a certain way. It's sick. If I ever meet Sam, I swear, honestly swear, that I would say this to his face. Like I, said. He's a real dickhole.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] redeuxx:
The writer doesn't deserve our comments and our visits to the site. I wish I could undo clicking the link. The article was an obvious attempt to get clicks and nothing more. An argument that goes along the lines of "everyone is a moron because they don't share my opinion" is not even worthy of a read by any intelligent mind.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
All fair points made above.

As I said, what I got out of that article is someone who saw the phone, saw how silly it looks initially and insulted those who decided to purchase the phone, having done nothing more than seeing someone in the gym with the device.

What I tend to get upset about is the hypocrisy of Android users who sit around and call people who use IOS devices sheeple and sit around with an elitist attitude about everything Android.

What this article is very akin to is electric / hybrid vs full gas car debates. Not having owned a hybrid or electric vehicle, nor do I ever plan to, assuming legislation doesnt require me to at some point, I can honestly say these hybrid / electric cars look awful, perform terribly, and studies have shown they have very little impact on the environment.

But my opinion is coming from the fact that I dont own one and never spent any more than a few minutes in one. I could very easily write an article in the same style.

Yes, the guy was insulting, no denying that.

Yes, it was click bait. I guarantee any tech readers who own a Note saw that article.

And yes, the guy didnt review anything.

And yes, you are entitled, just as he is, to express your opinion. I just dont know how much good it does to do it here. I appreciate the article having been linked but I urge you to send a letter to the author of the article or post a comment. With as many people that read the article, not a single comment has been made on the article to tell this guy where to shove it.

Click the link in the original post of this thread to go to the story and scroll to the bottom, there are comment links and email links at the bottom of the story.

*Edit* It appears that you have to have your comments approved before comments are posted. Given that, if you are following Giz, I suggest unfollowing them. The fact that user comments have to be approved but their authors are allowed to write this kind of stuff without any rebuff (or possibly heavily filtered) shows what a sad state of affairs Giz has turned into.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Reclaim:
I definitely understand where you're coming from on the hypocrisy thing. However, there is one very important difference. He is supposed to be a professional journalist, and we are not

I would also like to add that I left a lengthy, intelligent, non-name calling comment on the article calling out the poor journalism. It was never approved.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cityhunterxyz:
Which is funny since the Author of the article implies that if you bought the Note you must be A: Tacky, B: Ignorant and C: Misguided, yet comments are moderated.

It says they will be ready by 2014, but with no specific rollout dates for my area, Michigan, I will be switching to Verizon in the next few months, once they get a nest gen phone like the One X or something similar. Verizon has had working 4g for over a year in my area now. There's no way I'm waiting another 2 years to get it here, and have dial-up speed 3g in the meantime. I gave Sprint 12 years of my business, and I hate to leave, but in today's world data is everything, and I need that to be able to do my job.

first and second round markets posted over here btw:

http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/212-network-visionlte-deployment-running-list/

most 2nd round markets start deployment anytime between June and December this year basically...

Keep an eye on that site there in general as they have the most up to date info on Sprints NetworkVision Rollout schedule/plans, and completions...

I'm on the road to visit my future college in Maryland for Admitted Students Day. I was excited to see what kind of service I will get on campus. Maybe in a couple of years I'll even be seeing LTE. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Well you might not have to wait that long as both DC and Baltimore are in round 1 deployment of Network Vision...

[HTC EVO 3D] miguelfp1:
Puerto Rico is apparently scheduled for Round Two of deployments, hopefully they don't delay it

I've averaged around 400kbps on 3G for over a year, so I'd definitely love having faster data...
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Yeah some users said PR was real trouble at times and should be a quick deployment to knock out too...though ur data speeds are much better than what a lot show over here...

Man I am so stoked. Just as I am about to give up hope with this pitiful company, there COULD be light@end of the tunnel,& coming Lil sooner then I imagined.

I am in port Huron, mi. That is on the 2 round list. Our 3g is like non existent. Im lucky to get .47/down.

The sad parts:

- I live ON the water across river is Canada industrial district. I'm on there towers ALOT. Out here everyone roams there cause they push out more then us. Only affects sprint customers though.

- There is a working 4g WIIMAX tower about a mile down the road, that only pushes out to about 4 blocks.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Montana has to be one of the worst...never getting LTE. lol
[HTC EVO 3D] cruise350:
Looks like Memphis starting June 2012!! If it is anywhere near the speed of Verizon's LTE at my house I'll be stoked. My brother in law had is new Moto Razor here last weekend so I fired up the speedtest and it was 25.8 down and 14.6 up. That is 3 times faster than comcast in this area.
[HTC EVO 3D] dfin13:
Looking at the map, my heart dropped because it looked like Memphis was getting screwed, so thank goodness for that link of cities :) I was going to leave Sprint when my upgrade time came if Memphis was not getting LTE. Hope the Evo ONE with that fatass battery will allow me to actually leave my 4G on all the time.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
ur welcome. np

its a shame Sprint isn't more up front on the rollout but IF they were AND something caused them to delay them out...imagine the backlash...

Haven't seen it posted yet here, but the EVO 3D supports 800mhz CDMA when Sprint does roll it out. :)

Yeah it's been posted here many times on this forum. But yeah it will be great when sprint rolls out the 800mhz network.
[HTC EVO 3D] piscesjoey:
Looks like Delaware is on the back burner this time for LTE, don't understand why Sprint won't deploy it the same time they deploy it in Philly
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
should be completed this year...it deff starts this year and the article lists it taking roughly 8mo to complete...NYC I think has 1100 NV sites to complete...thats a lot btw. lol
[HTC EVO 3D] playya:
If they come out with some decent phones(Galaxy 3, HTC One, Samsung Note, Galaxy Nexus, etc)... and they have fast data with 4g LTE they may actually turn a profit in the next couple years... LOL Especially after selling there souls to the "MAN" <----MAN = Apple

[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Lmao I doubt the my area will see anything .. Never had 4G here... Everyone around the state seems to have it.. So LTE probably won't hit here for another 5 or so years lol..
[HTC EVO 3D] KB112:
That's why I'm so happy, never had 4G either. It's all around me less than 30 min away in 3 directions. But I have been in the 4g Bermuda triangle this whole time. lol
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Lmao.. I think I am still out on this one... Sucky part is .. Tmobile and Verizon have 4g already in my area even in the far out sticks of places lol..

Sprint is SOOOOOOOo Slow lol... Lol nice part is going up north to visit family :D I do get 4G in other states lol..
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
Sprint said somewhere in their network vision stuff that anywhere you have 3G you'll have LTE thanks to the new base stations they are using. That is why the LTE map is so big. If you have 3G now, you'll have it by 2014.....or at least that is what they are saying.

I am from san antonio, so it is cool that I will be in the first round, though I won't be taking advantage of it. I just got my E3d last year so it won't be until next year that I can get a new phone. Also, it is good that we have Wimax because I am jealous of these people and their 3g speeds. .47? I would love to have that.
[HTC EVO 3D] krayziejoe:
The entire eastern half of MA is covered by LTE? I'll believe it when I see it...that would be a huge improvement over the WiMax coverage.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
the LTE rollout is being done by Sprint NOT Clearwire....big difference. no need to be surprised as all of Sprint coverage will essentially be covered by LTE when complete...It only gets tricky in areas like West Kansas that technically get their coverage from NexTec but thats treated like native Sprint coverage...So it will take an agreement with Sprint and NexTec to allow Sprint to deploy LTE there...
[HTC EVO 3D] 2k4mach:
hahaha yeah 3g is pathetic in san antonio. wimax literally stops as soon as you turn in my neighborhood so hopefully LTE will cover the neighborhood since 3g is useless. heck over by my parents house at culebra/1604 data speeds are usually sub 56k.

[HTC EVO 3D] gilbydakid:
I like the fact that nv rollout (if it stays on schedule) hits right around the time my 2yr hits.

But I'm confused, nv vendor "Samsung" does this mean only Samsung devices will have lte and not htc devices?

Here are the problems that I found that you may not know about theme

1.even that I did backup with titanium backup when I wanted to do restore it show me that there are 0 apps and data to restore.I had 184 apps and data to restore so its kinda sucks.

2.a lot of apps that I had before I flashed are now incompatible with my device like flash player and YouTube.I even used prop editor to change my model name but I still get the same problem.

3.I can't watch videoes in my browser.

4.all my files in external SD are gone I had 22gb of files so its suck too

For now these are the problems I found.
