Bought my note on day 1, 322.97 is what I paid got the flip case for free for preordering from bb. Sold my note for 350 on cl, bought note 2 yesterday for 322.47 and got a free flip case from att store cause they only had white and I wanted a gray one. Att didnt even question me upgrading again 9 months later, I expected to pay full price and the nice lady let me do an early upgrade
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] slaydog:
I'm gonna have to sweet talk someone into an early upgrade. I have a line that's due to be upgraded, but it's costing me $10/month, and has since I got it to get my Dell Streak like 2 years ago. That's almost $250 bucks extra I paid for that Streak, and am still paying for it.

Well, just sold my Note on Swappa, and I am ready to shop for my new Note 2 now!

Although I love my Note, I figure that I need to get the value I can get now, while it is still in demand.

If I continue to use it for another year or so, I still need to pay $200 or so to get the upgrade then and won't get much money for the current Note. By selling it now, I get the upgrade early and use the proceed to pay for the upgrade in full.

Also, I need a new device to continue feeding my flashing desire. :P

Well it looks like things have recently changed, T-Mobile has increased the price from $649 to $699 buying it off contract, shame on them... as technology is ever evolving, new devices should instantly be depreciating in value, not appreciating... I almost pulled the trigger today, but may wait it out till black Friday in hopes of a lower price... thing is I just got offered $320 for my note 1 on CL today which is so far the best I've got, and I'm in a large city(LA)!

Well with the nexus 4 sold out I guess I'll be using my Note for a while longer.

I'm pretty happy with this liquid smooth ROM anyways :)

I hope so too. Though I have a s3, hubby is still using the galaxy captivate so if we upgrade his, it'll be for the note 2.

Never mind, every store that told me $699 wasn't including the mail in rebate... by the way, you can order direct from corporate and get it for $649 and not have to deal with the mail in rebate.

Bidding the Note I forums, adieu.

I finally scored my Note II, today! The final price for me was $62 and some change via a warranty exchange from Best Buy. I had to go through four Note I's and A LOT of crap to get to this point. BB was pretty good handling the situation(s) for the most part, just got tiresome with all of the defective phones. So, I'm heading over to the Note II forums. Good luck everyone else sticking with their Note I's. Still a great phone and with the software updates that will bring you Note II features, shouldn't really be a big deal. See ya around! :cool:

I have Galaxy Note2 no need for me to flash or root I like with jelly bean would like to get rid of all those att installed apps..but what ever ...I had the 1st note it was a beast for what it was ...Note 2 is simply the Cracken released...woth specs and those ill ass features...its a true Smartphone with tablet capabilities. .....This note 2 will be my device for at least 2 -3 -4yrs...and does anyone know when the multi window is coming to att note 2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ArborRes:
With the help of the AT&T customer service rep, I was able to get my SGN2 yesterday from a not-so-local local store.

Most stores reported to have sold out their allocation and only this store had a unit available in Southeastern Michigan area!

It will be interesting to hear of the initial sales figure for this device in a couple of months.

Having used it for a full day now, I can see why this thing is in such hot demand!

There are so many subtle, as well as noticeable, changes from SGN1 that make this so much better as a whole.

I was initially hesitant to upgrade, but, boy, am I glad to have upgraded! :D

The phone just looks so much more sleek and stylish.

Stock Jellybean-based ROM, running ADW EX launcher, on this quad-core Exynos CPU runs just so fast and smooth.

So good that I am wondering if I need to root this phone at all!

I think this will be my last post in the SGN forum.

I'm happily moving to the SGN2 forum. Adios!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sholsten:
Good luck guys with your new phones and enjoy them. I still have to wait for tax refund time to get a Note 2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] theonedub:
Went to the ATT store thinking I would grab the Note 2 but after getting some hands on time with it I realized I really dislike the form factor. I like some of the new features and it was very smooth, but its hard for me to get past the 16:9 format especially since I use a 16:10 monitor.

What really blew me away was the Lumia 920. WP8 on that thing is slick.

From my Galaxy Note
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dugryce:
I've read up on the Galaxy Note 2 now for about a month and a half. The reason I'm not going to upgrade first and foremost, is that the original Galaxy Note does not have the home button, a feature that I like because I like the flat surface of my original note. Also, I have all kinds of accessories to my original note and I like the size of it. It is a true tablet phone, and the new note is more like a galaxy s 3 on steroids. My note is fast enough, has enough memory, and suits my needs to the fullest. :cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zonyl:
Ditto. I just can't see how the note 2 improves my use of the note 1 by any tangible measure. If anything I'm thinking about an n4 because I'm tired of being behind on software. Would miss the screen size terribly though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lastdeadmouse:
Exactly. Though I understand those that can get it essentially for free, but to drop hundreds to replace a device that cost you hundreds 8? Months ago is beyond me. And, as you, I don't think a note 2 will bring me any discernible satisfaction that I'm not getting now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kornklown69:
Exactly how i feel thats why ill wait for the third version and let the nexus 4 pacify my thirst for new tech.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] diamantericos:
You cant be serious n4 is a mistake by Google should have never went to lg they suck. Second note 2 is better faster lighter. Third why people always complain about latest firmware. if you are on a stock rom i understand but being part of tbe rooted community we have not to worry about that. Samsung releases the needed coded pretty fast. honestly n4 is a step back for google. Nor would i buy A nexus device anyway. Only getting the n7 for my kids thats it. 2 and 5.

---------- Post added at 02:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 PM ----------

That's why you sell the one you have to get the one you want. that's what I've been doing for years. So technically you aren't spending much. Maybe a 100 to split difference.

---------- Post added at 02:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 PM ----------

That's because you were testing using stock rom. With all att crapware. Once rooted and custom youll see the difference. Especiallyy over clocked. I never use stock firmware ever. I always check xda to see if device has been rooted before ibuy. . **** i onky got the note one for fathers day this june. and my girl is getting me note 2 when im ready. after sell this one. Also launcher makes a difference. I use sslauncher faster ive seen
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] erick161:
Umm the bloatware can all be disabled STOCK...no root necessary.

Also, the original note actually does have a home button, something im glad was implemented in the US variants.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] diamantericos:
True but i assume it wasnt disabled since it was a store demo. Also home button eww physical buttons are so old school really time for change like the nexus. this phone would be more phablet like without them
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] erick161:
To each their own. I personally dont like on screen buttons.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] diamantericos:
Yup guess thats the difference between android and iphone we have options. Ive been running tablet mode like 4ever lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ArborRes:
Before I purchased the Note 2, I spent some considerable amount of time at the AT&T store checking out the device, making side-by-side comparisons with my previous Note. I walked out of the store thinking, "Hmm... I don't see why I need to upgrade my phone at this time. No compelling reasons..." Then, I realized that I could sell my Note for $300 and get the upgrade to Note 2 for less than that (I ended up paying $299 with $20 credit from customer service group, getting the upgrade one month ahead of 18 month requirement). The only challenge was locating a phone in my area because most stores were out of stock!

Now that I have used the Note 2 as my daily device for a few days, all I can say is "Wow! Note 2 is far better than I thought!"

As someone has mentioned already, you can't compare a fully optimized Note to a sub-optimized store demo unit to get a true assessment.

Now that my Note 2 is rooted, debloated, overclocked and customized to my liking, I can feel tremendous difference between Note 1 and Note 2. Everything is just so much smoother and faster as a start, along with rock-solid stability.

Note 2 uses an overclocked Exynos 4 quad SoC , one that packs together a 1.6GHz quad-core A9 processor and a Mali 400 MP GPU overclocked at 400 MHz. 2 GB of RAM adds much needed memory capacity to handle multitasking even better.

The speaker of Note 2 is much louder and clearer also. However, as far as I'm concerned, the pragmatic highlight of the Note 2's advantage is definitely the longer battery life, based on 3100mAh battery! I don't think I will be buying a spare battery and a battery charger as I did for the Note 1, because I get over 6~8 hours of screen on time now!

Samsung has also added so many convenient features on Note 2 to improve the overall users' experience, such as smart stay, smart rotation, detection of pen pull out to open the S-Memo, detection of leaving the S-pen behind, calling someone from the SMS app by simply putting the phone to the ear, the S-Pen airview, Multiview feature, better gallery app, floating and resizable video app, ... the list goes on and on. Of course, some of these functions are available for Note also via 3rd-party apps, but not as well integrated as the Samsung's own apps. S-Pen related 3rd party apps used to be better than S-Memo or S-Note, but the latest S-Note app and added features are even better now on the Note 2. The additional camera features such as best shot, burst mode, photo tagging, photo sharing, paper artist make the phone even a better camera than before.

Hey, I even like the stylish and sleeker look of Note 2 over Note 1!

I think both Note and Note 2 provide more than sufficient performance for most people, but if you have the option of upgrading to Note 2 with minimal financial impact, I would strongly recommend the upgrade. It's definitely worth it!

I hope this post helps those who are wondering about the upgrade possibility. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lastdeadmouse:
Still, as the owner of an OG Note with an extended battery which gives me about the same screen on time and a contract that does not currently allow me to upgrade until next year, I won't be jumping through any hoops to get one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Barbarian:
Updated to it over a week ago. Me and the wife both upgraded from original Note. We love the Note 2. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wase4711:
as nice as it would be to get a Note2, the fact that developement for the note 1 is far superior now, plus, what really annoys me is that all the cases/batteries/accessories that I have for the Note 1 wont work/fit, and, it will be a long time until there are alot of choices for accessories in the aftermarket..

If its not a stupid "IBone", the manufacturers take their sweet time in releasing stuff for these phones...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] borijess:
The note 2 has been out for a couple of weeks and there is already and oc kernal and 4 roms. I dont remember the og note having that much development in the first couple of weeks. I had the note 1 and upgraded to note 2. Its the best decision I have ever made. If u have an upgrade I will use if not no way I am paying 650.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wase4711:
yeah, I am only 8 months into my contract with ATT; I guess I could threaten to drop them if the didnt give me an early upgrade, but when I called in, they werent interested in doing any thing for me..

The OG note was a little slow out of the gate for custom roms and such, but now there is a plentiful supply of great stuff, so, its not like the note is a "obsolete" or dead phone...far from it!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] borijess:

Gnote2 = Faster, lighter, brighter screen, hundreds of dollars more and yet it doesn't change my phone usage one bit. That is why I am not upgrading. I'm sure its great for gaming, but I have no need.

As far as the n4 goes, good luck seeing key lime on a note any time in the next year. Just like how custom rom jelly bean works on the prior att note flagship (reboots and loss of audio during calls)

Going to upgrade??? Well I WAS going to get a nexus 4 (ok, what was I thinking) combined with a small tablet...BUT on impulse yesterday I purchased the NOTE II. It's awesome in every way. Glad I stuck w/the note family.

The irony is my NOTE was running sweet on CM10 stable...very solid and smooth...but now I have a smooth fast smart Note 2 WITH the snote apps which i loved to use.

Go to sign that evil contract, but no 32gb i4's in stock. Exit the retailer, driving. 'Just got to jailbreak something, lol' Turn the car around, head back. Few nice Android devices, Captivate i896 WOW! The SuperAmoled screen, SD slot,. Ask to use their PC, Google, of course, jailbreak Android. Haha... Root, custom, open source, xda, 'what's this, freedom?' Sold. Best possible outcome, mildly stated. Loved and learned. 'Hey, I can have all the coolest new stuff before everyone else.' Zombie mode fading. Used S2 i9100 comes along, cheap. The camera and LED (amazing), the bigger screen, RAM, Dual core. The LEGEND. Cheaper yet used Note i717 falls into hand. 'S2 super sized' I'll take that. Zombie be gone! Until i wear these superb devices out, got all and more than i could ask for. Still be sporting the latest goodness before the OEM's.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] skinblues:
Still no 4.1 JB update for the Note. How can you compare that to a Nexus device, which in the case of the Galaxy Nexus has had 4.1 since July, and already has 4.2? Custom ROMs are OK but definitely not near the stability of an official release. Screen flickering, random reboots, hw overlays re-setting after a reboot, etc etc. Lots of issues with all of the JB ROMs. With a typical 1 year life cycle of a phone, having to wait an additional 6 months for updated firmware is a pretty big deal.

The note2 has been out a good while so, I think this has run its usefulness........

...........THREAD CLOSED..........
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Err0xx:
This.

HUGE upgrade for me as well. Samsung already said many times that the new Note 2 spen features, including all the hover tricks, are a combo of new hardware and software. So there isn't a way to port the parts that are hardware reliant to the original note.

The software on the note 2 looks phenominal and I gotta say, the jellybean Touchwiz looks awesome. Most of xda is hung up on cm10 and aokp- gotta say I see a lot LOT in the new Touchwiz that I love. I think i'll be sticking with stock on note 2 and actually enjoying ALL the spen offers. After having been on a ROM since the note 1 launched, I flashed stock Touchwiz Note ICS about 4 days ago and I haven't put the phone down. Feels like a new device.

Never thought I'd say it but I'm preferring these newest Touchwiz skins over custom ROMs and Touchwiz on the note 2 looks to be the best yet.

Can't wait for ATT Note 2 preorders to come around. So ready for this device!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] robyr:
Samsung is lying to you, then, if they ever even actually said that. Hover is a Penabled staple. ALL Penabled-supporting devices support hover in the hardware. The only "trick" I can see that is hardware dependent is the increase of pressure sensitivity levels, and even then that is firmware based, and can easily be implemented with only a change of S-Pen.

So basically, they are full of ****.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] VoluntaryMan:
Moving to RGB instead of pentile for the display is pretty big for me and something that isn't available in a software or firmware update. I'm hoping black crush is gone too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] robyr:
This has nothing to do with all the whizbang S-Pen features that he was talking about. I am well aware of the change in subpixel arrangement, but that is not the claim that the other user made, to which I responded.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Coffinfeeder:
I'm with you on the touchwiz statement. I've been using cm9/cm10/aokp based roms for a while now and I just flashed stock ICS as well. Although it's not as functional, the touchwiz Rom just looks more pleasing and is definitely smoother for me. I'll probably switch back eventually- but touchwiz has come a long way.
