[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ankydu:
I will instantly switch to note 2 if the loud speaker is loud enough, note 1 speaker just sucks. Also I kept getting my note replaced from October 2011 till July this year, now I am on the July 2012 batch and the screen is tolerable but really bad to spen touch. And I just can't use the pressure sensitive thing properly, I don't seem to get thinner or darker strokes, just single width strokes. Also the earpiece speaker and microphone quality is the worst I have seen till now in my last 9 notes. Even after so many months I am still able to find new new problems so I do feel jittery going with Samsung again, but then there's not much choice in the most powerful device segment.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bigbossemblem:
I will stay with Note 1, because I don't think Note 2 will be as revolutionary as 1. However, my girlfriend make this gift to me so I don't want to sell my beautiful device for such "poor-better" features.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ausnadian:
With the quality of ROMs on the note one, even without Project Butter, the phone is a beast, with the latest kernels I also have zero clipping issues as well. The only way I would upgrade to 2 at this point is if this phone dies a sudden death and I have to replace.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
I thought about getting the Note 2 no matter what, but i just have to see the iPhone 5 first.

Kidding aside, i want to see the new Nexus later this year before i order anything.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chasmodo:
I wouldn't want to be your wife.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Nexus is the way to go: no Samsung/carrier crapware, timely updates and hopefully no brick-bugs.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
Gotta be tough being you :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PoisonWolf:
Amen to that. Lol.

Man....some people to lighten up...it's just an electronic device.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tonuzzz:
I will stay with the first Note, because I think the difference between Note 1 and Note 2 is not so big.. So I don't see the reason to change
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] msedek:
its not so big ... its huge... man the note even raped s3... Now i can accept whatever reason you have to not switch .. but dont say that because its plain stup!d

Tapatalking on my N7000
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SpyderTracks:
The note is definitely they're premiere device... The s series apply to the masses but the note has always been more powerful and better hardware generally.

I'm in no rush to get the new one, but will do come upgrade time (assuming no one else has stolen its thunder)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] GwynBleidd:
Personally I will not get the Note 2 for two main reasons:

1. It's 16:9. I appreciate Samsung listening to people who asked to make the device less wide because they couldn't reach everywhere with one hand's thumb. But for me, it's a phablet, not just a phone, so I feel 16:9 makes it less phablet and more oversized smartphone. Less height to read websites/emails/whatever in landscape, less width to fit everything in portrait.

2. Given the people's experiences with the GSIII's back, I won't be surprised if the back on Note 2 is very unreliable in terms of scratching/damage. Plus, it's just fugly - glossy back, way too rounded edges, etc.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] konsulas:
Will stay with the first Note and will wait for Note III with 'real upgade' new cpu, gpu... :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] RavenY2K3:
I wasn't gonna go for the Note 2..... But I'm a sucker for gadgets and pre-ordered one from Clove last week lol, chances are I'll do the same with the 3.

Swyped from my finger to your face, on my Samsung Galaxy Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shkfaizalam:
Well for the sake of just quadra power i wont go to the new one. My original note is best which i could have after GTP1000 which failed.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nixxor:
I will not get Note 2, no reason to get it really. I dont need a bigger screen or quad core for what i use my phone for.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chasmodo:
An intelligent and economical thing to do.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gasolara2002:
I love my note. I have to say this is the only android phone i have kept stock. I say I would only buy the note 2 if the lte works with at&t lte because I might be relocating to an area with lte. The software is awesome. Especially now that it has the nice things out of the s3 via the latest ota. For now I will keep the note 1.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] THUDUK:
This is the what I was thinking, the width of the note 1 is really useful, having owned an s3 briefly, I found the build and overall feel was very tacky plastic tack, I think the worst redesign, possibly done to not be to similar to the iPhone, but the pebble is nasty. Quad core doesn't really make that much difference in everyday life, except perhaps for the camera, its nice for once to see phones not advancing too much, allows people to hold on to them longer, the iPhone 5 is hardly a huge step forward, the s3 is only really a bit faster and the note 2 looks the same.

Would be nice to see more app development into utilising the dual or even quad cores, before phones advance further.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] franklin202:
I think I wont buy note 2 for a while, because with the changes made in custom roms for note 1, note 2 wont be much better. Especially Eybee1970 did a fantastic job with RocketRom. It'll take quite a while to squeeze everything out of note 2.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Thijsvr:
Not going to get the new Note either. I don't want the screen to be any smaller. I like the way it is, even though it may be a little fiddly when using it with one hand. I like the shape and the materials of it. Not to say that I won't like the new one, but the original one had that tablet feel, whereas the new one has done everything to make it feel and look like a phone.

I wanted a tablet that I can call with, instead of a phone that I can also browse internet on. The new one doesn't offer any substational upgrades over the original in my opinion. Especially not when I also have to sacrifice screen space.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
You only sacrifice screen width -.09 inches. The actual screen of the note 2 is 4 percent larger then the note 1. You do of course lose some resolution but you might gain screen sharpness due to the new RGB ish arrangement
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] qazibasit:
I bouht my note in feb 2012 and i am still in love with this device. I dont see a point in upgrading to note 2 just because of the jellybean and air view. Pop up video is already on my note with 4.0.4. Shutter speed and 0 lag can be obtained after installing fast burst camera otherwise the camera sensor is the same. My note has more resolution than note 2. Jelly bean will arrive in Q4 for original note and if u are so keen u already have the custom jb rom. So the original note is still a futuristic device. I can keep it for some more time or maybe for a couple of years until a revolutionary product is out in the market.

Let's see when the arm cortex A15 processors come out by the end of the year/early next year.....

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] basdaniel:
Mate... I have had all the galaxy devices so far starting from the S, S2 and now the note...

I have had the note since December 2011 when it first came out...

I have never encountered a screen problem... And have not heard of one so far... As a matter of fact I've had quite a few Htc guys looking at the colours and vivid amoled screens with envy!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nshahril:
Go get it tiger if u are in deep pocket. If you're a broken type like me, any phone can do well even with Nokia 3210. 8-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] qazibasit:
Yes cortex A15 designed processor will be something new. Adding 2 more cores to A9 will make a difference x2 but A15 is expected to take the benchmark to bove 25000.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] CGI_Ram:
I preordered... But sitting here with my Note... I am amazed by this awesome device.

I love my Note!

Note 1.... Note 2.... All good.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] azamilizzat:
current GNote is good enough for me.

altho the GNote 2 screen is going to be more beautiful... all with the RGB matrix..

but who cares man... as far as i'm concern, GNote2 to GNote is like a iPhone 4S to iPhone 4... minor increment updates...

but if GNote 3 has Tegra.... count me in!

they should have... even Nexus 7 has it
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] voxano:
Get Note 2 from a decent retailer and likely it will be very easy to decide HANDS ON between the two. IMHO, what matters most is if YOUR SPECIFIC needs, taste, usage, income etc make the upgrade and the extra expense worth while at any given moment. If not, return the new Note and move on. I found this sort of approach quite useful in the past. Just my two cents...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] BPHC:
I will wait for Microsoft Surface, if it is 200$. After that I'll think about the Note 2.

Sent from my GT-N7000
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] THUDUK:
Having use the one x for a time, must admit the tegra chip makes gaming look like console, really is quite amazing, even with all the chainfire/tweaks we can do with the Mali you just don't get the gorgeous effects, not that much of an issue add the note is far more than just gaming, also agree retail wait till note 3, really disappointed about screen size change.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nfoboy:
Actualy, just picked up a Note for the wife. (Replaces her S2, and that goes to the little one). I have the S3, and man, the screen on the Note rocks! Love the battery on the S3, so maybe the Note 2 is in the future after all.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] msedek:
Minor increment? Now you sound misinformed ... How comes going from dual core 1.4 to quad core 1.6 power saver architecture , 1gbram to 2gb ram, 5.3 pentile screen to the 5.55 Rgb screen, 2500mah battery to 3100 mah battery, way better sound chip, built in slow motion camera with better and faster lense built in burst mode, nfc, lte radio in the international version, thinner, improved spen, etc, can be a "minor" increment update? Now if you lack of money to change device Wich its completely valid and you are trying to convince yourself of such its a different story but do not say it out loud... Keep it for yourself

About tegra... Samsung have their own super processors /gpus why would they use /pay someone else for it? They have also a bad experiment going the galaxy R... That won't happen again... Put side to side s3 with htc running anything.. S3 blows up hox any day

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] azamilizzat:
I am pretty sure that i can afford to get GNote 2 :cool:

Specs wise, as listed by you, the new beast does look awesome. That's why this thread exists. But from my experiences playing with gadgets, it's the user experience that matters.

Yet to see one in action, so for now i shall restrain meself from questioning the benefits of higher battery against LTE and bigger screen usage. This i shall keep it to myself, for now :rolleyes:

And am sure Sammy has its own super processor. But last time i checked the games in play store are either tegra optimised or non tegra app ;)

Chill bro... Sammy is doing it right starting SGS2 onwards...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] msedek:
Oh now you call it a "new beast" and no a "minor upgrade"? Games are for kids... Kids can not pay this kind of stuff.. Anyways what's optimized? Lil more smoke? Lil more dust? Pffft and by the way there's loads of threads here in xda on how to download" tegra optimized" crap for any device from play store

And if I ever want to play games I just turn on my ps3 and play call of duty / silent Hill downpour /mortal kombat... No need "tegra optimized" bs

Just read the notes carefully and you'll be fine.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] agozie:
I bought s3 and gave my wife my note, for over 2 months, I tried to adapt to the smaller screen size but failed. Since I bought the note, my iphone 4 turned into nokia 3310; for making calls only. Today, I will give her the s3 and take back my sweet note till note 2 arrives. I will get the note 2 so that I won't miss the s3 at all.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] johnvarghese333:
Does the note2 feel cheap like the note..i mean material wise.. I used the s3 but still feel it's cheap.. Gawd how I hate cheap plastic.. Oh well I can still consider getting the iphone5 even though I prefer android more than ios.. :)

Seems like you're hell bent on justifying your own purchase.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Tonio78370:
I thought keeping my GNote 1 as the changes don't look that revolutionary but the further I go, the more I'm interested I am in the big battery. With the latest 4.0.4 ROM I have very erratic battery usage (one day it's great and the second it's a mess...) so I'll see what the experiences are with that for Note 2 and might decide to change...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] voyager_s:
I sold my note...no note 2 for me as of now. I loved the note and perhaps I may get another in the future but as of now, I'm waiting for the delivery of my brand new white galaxy nexus! :D

Deciding between LG optimus G and Note 2.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] yaoops:
Will definitely stay with the first, got two of them anyway.

Got really disappointed when I saw the Note 2 specs..., the screen is effectively 10 % smaller, being only 720 px wide and having vert space cropped by soft keys on screen... Like the 16:10 setup I have

I will definitely buy the note 2 IF it receives as much dev support from aosp, aokp, cyanogenmod devs as the current note receives. I don't mind the touchwiz ui for a week after purchase but then it just HAS to be changed after that timeframe!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] barondebxl:
I just sold my S3, I will definitely get the note 2. I loved my S3 but I really like what Samsung did with the note 2, the features and I miss the S pen ( I used to own the first note). To me its absolutely worth it.

I'm holding out for the nexus note, due out later this year. Hey, if they're going to make 5 nexus phones, companies are going to have to differentiate on a hardware level. And what's the most unique phone on the market? Our beloved note :) I think Samsung is silly not to wait and make the note 2 a nexus device, but I'm still holding out for a nexus note. Really would be perfection.

Apple innovates and Samsung copies, huh? Tell that to my galaxy note :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sdvsf:
i really dont see any valid point to change my note, there arent really big changes per se, so... im gonna stick with my awesome Note at least for a year:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] onchomz:
well.. already fall in love with my note since the first sight, so i don't think i would change to new one soon :)

btw, imho the new ones are not literally representing "note"... they're new modified galaxy tabs X-D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] msedek:
Everyone judges from their own condition.. Anyways the lg Optimus G its the best lg device to be released.. So was the lg Optimus 2X so far there's no ics for it.. I own an o2x and anyone can go to any lg sub forums and read all the users complaints about lg never upgrading devices.. It's all over the Internet.. There's also people suing LG for false promises..

I use my o2x as a learning platform, building from cm9 sources.. But I'd never ever in my life get an lg phone again.. As most lg owners...

Want another hint of the deficiency of development department on lg? Look at the not yet released Optimus VU(the note competitor 5" screen) it will come out with ginger bread..

Anyways being rude won't help anyone getting anywhere

I will get the new Note if the format stays 16:10 and the screen resolution is 1050 HD.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zkyevolved:
I would probably upgrade if it has more RAM. I think that's the biggest issue with my Note. Along with lag! But I know that we'll get quad core for the international version. I need more ram and a better camera :)

1.5 or 2GB or RAM.

12Mpx camera

Keep the SPEN. If they drop the S Pen, I won't upgrade.

Screen resolution: they can keep it the same. It's already HD.

Battery: Keep the same size, or larger. Not smaller! Blackberry did this over the years, they kept making the batteries smaller and smaller. LAME.

Dimensions: PLEASE don't make it get any bigger! I don't know if I'll be able to hold it! hahaha.

Lmao ill figure out wich one has the call speaker.. if i find one with it.. ill just wait to see the official specs on note 2 and take my desition.. if note 2 does not satisfy me with the screen size ill get a 7 or 7.7 tab as my new phone :D

Edit: omg.. the tab 2 7 its AWESOME DAMN.... LOOOOLLLL they better put a monster inside of note 2 or ILL GO ALL THE WAY WITH THE TAB 2 7

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Alexanderbooth:
I'll consider it, I always get a new phone every December time so will be due a new phone anyway, but I do still love the note its the first phone I've had where I'm actually thinking do I need to upgrade? Always by this time of year I'm itching to get a new one and can't wait for christmas to come. If the note 2 totally wows me with either spec, look or software I'll probably jump ship like.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] altae:
If my note does not break I don't think I will update this or next year. After almost a year on the market the note is still a high end device and Samsung is even considering bringing Jelly Bean to the note. It bought the note in april 2012 and it does not make any sense to me to replace my phone every year if my current phone still works well and supports all important technologies. So I will most likely wait and see what 2014 brings.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] valtersboze:
Improved camera, screen (banding) and new sound chip. Do want.

You've have some powerful restraint there, buddy. The longest I've ever had a smartphone was my Blackberry 8300 (18 months), and then Blackberry 9700 (13 months), and then my SGSII (12 months), and now my SGNote (9th month this month). I think my iPhone 4 lasted about 8 months, too. I wish I had your restraint, really. Lol.

My last phone was a Xperia X1. I had been using it for two and a half years, November 2009 till April 2012 :) I have a family and we need our money for other far more important things than buying new phones every year. I simply cannot justify yearly expenses of 500 $ or so for a new phone while the current phone is still operational and supports all important technologies.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zkyevolved:
I completely understand. I don't keep a collection of devices in my house! I USUALLY sell off my phones. There were some exceptions in which I wanted to keep 2. But generally speaking, I resell my device for roughly the same price I bought it (I sometimes buy them from my carrier, and they give me a discounted price because of how many lines we have, and the business lines and such), so I usually don't end up losing any money, and if I do, it never exceeds 50 bucks.

If I had to pay 500 bucks for every device, hell! I wouldn't be buying a device every 6-12 months! Too much cash. I do it because it actually comes out to be the same price or 50 bucks more. hehe.
