[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] StarLog:
Let it be said, AT&T is tip top.

Just called and got the upgrade, even thought they said I was not eleigable until Sept. next. for an early upgrade.

Asked if the rep. would ask his super, and it worked..

So it will show up im 3-5 days. So happy. Like getting aNote all over again - but bigger - better- stronger.. LOL

$299 with 2 year contract.

I said one of my peers called and had a note 1, and called got a early upgrade even though it was not ready. He had the report. Ask the super for approval.

I told him I would agree to the 2 year extended contract. Took about 20 minutes, be polite remember they are doing you a favor with an early upgrade.

I ordered mine as well on 10-26 the sales rep told me 3- 5 business days too..Thing is I thought the phone isn't being launched till nov 6th?? After the call, I received my confirmation email .it clearly says pre-order for the device. So I believe the sales rep is wrong about 3-5 business days,since the launch date is nov 6 and the email I got! Weird :confused:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] baudilus:
Plus no LTE - having tasted the sweet, sweet fruit of LTE speeds, that's a deal breaker.

Although it looks gorgeous, and might work for me as a business device - I was thinking of using my Note 1 as my work phone and the Note 2 as my personal, but I might just unlock the Note 1, sell it, and get the GNEX 4.

I can't see having to mind two 5+ inch phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Dr. Evo:
Not to mention the Nexus looks like a POS. I've yet to see a single Nexus phone that has captivated me with its design. They look like Tracfone's that I can by at the corner drug store for $29.99. Design is about the biggest thing for me, so I don't care how great a phone is, if it's ugly I won't even consider it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Web-head:
Tried the same. Wasn't successful. Was told that they could give me the phone for an exception upgrade which is the cost of a contracted Note 2 ($299) plus $250. So $549 and I would still need to do another 2yr contract. Asked for the Sup and tried to convince him for a while but he would not budge. Also was told that they could not preorder me the phone. I would have to wait till Nov 9th release date to get the exception upgrade.

I'll try again on the 9th and see if I can speak to someone else.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] willdtx:
Definitely going to wait. With the jb roms that we already have for our current notes and hopefully even better ones on the way when they eventually release the source, this thing still has some time left in it. Another year and then I might go for an upgrade, but with the 9 month turn planned for the galaxy s3 to s4, maybe we will have the Note 3 by then.

October 21st. Won't be upgrading... Love my og note too much to leave it hanging when it's never left me hanging.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] reup247:
No way. It seems to be a very small upgrade to me unless they improved the battery life substantially (doubled). The processor and RAM upgrades would be nice, but it's not worth $100s, and my UX is pretty great now. Their software sucks, IMO, so I won't be seeing their TW improvements (if I can help it...).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] andrawer:
Tough call...thinner, but taller BUT weighs more? Hum, probably stick w/my current note....but if I find some spare change...you never know.

Wasn't going to upgrade but thought I would check the AT&T site anyway just to be sure a few moments ago. Oddly enough, the site said I was eligible and now I've got a new Note 2 on the way for $299+tax. Crazy as I just got this last Feb/March for an upgrade if I remember correctly.

Could it be because of Premier Business or whatever status?

Either way, not complaining one bit. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lmike6453:
I just went in store to try to upgrade to Note 2 where I got the Note 1 when it came out in Feb. They said they can't do anything but would buy my Note 1 back for $157, so going to try again tomorrow at different store once it's actually physically there.

so are people now getting this at $199?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ArborRes:
I spent some time testing out the Note 2 at the AT&T store today to see whether I "want" to upgrade from my Note or not.

Although it's a nice upgrade, in practice, I didn't really feel any real advantages in my daily usage scenario to have that desire strongly.

My current Note, running AoCP-CP4.4JB ROM is running so smooth, fast and stable that when I compared it to the Note 2, side-by-side, there wasn't much of difference in performance in general. Some of the software features are nice but I am sure they will become available for Note pretty soon as well. The only real advantages I see that I would actually enjoy much would be the longer battery life and free-form screen capture function. Better CPU, better pen, better display, more memory, slightly better grip due to narrower width, slightly better screen quality, more camera features... there are many better things about the Note 2 for sure, but in practice, these advantages were hard to feel in actual daily usage.

So, I may pass on this upgrade for now and see what comes out next year instead.

What do you guys think?:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Suzook1:
I think once custom roms become available, the note 1 will be but a distant memory.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] slowpc:
Yea , selling my note 1 (found a buyer within 12 hours) but still not sure if I want a Nexus 4 or just grabbing an unlocked note 2 anyway.

Its getting tough to decide when I walk by the note 2 I have at work every day...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JoeCanuck:
The differences between the notes is negligible to anyone but the upgrade addicted...though there's nothing wrong with that. I kept my Moto Milestone working like a clock with a custom GB rom...getting another couple of years out of it. My Transformer is as good as anything out there with a bloat free ics rom and overclocking to 1.5ghz.

I haven't even had my Note for half a year yet. I'll try JB when it comes out but it didn't work worth a darn on my TF and I went back to ICS. The only thing I wish my Note had was another Gb of ram.

I have no doubts that unless I break it, I'll have this thing for years to come.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] erick161:
Sorry, totally disagree. The note 2 is LIGHTYEARS ahead of the note 1. The note was and is still a great phone, but out of the box, this note 2 is simply amazing...better than my modded note by a landslide

You obviously havent used one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JoeCanuck:
I don't have to use one to know what I want from my phone. I don't have to test drive a car if I know I need the capabilities of a truck.

You prefer the note 2...good for you. I never said it doesn't have advantages over the original...I just don't need them...or want to pay for them.

I really don't feel the need to upgrade every time a new shiny thing comes along.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Xstop:
I spent an hour at the AT$T store today playing with the Note 2. I have two available upgrades on my account. My Note 1 is running LiquidSmooth. I can tell you that the Note 2 is not light years ahead of the Note 1. If anything apps open about the same speed, maybe a millisecond faster with the Note 2. Definitely does not warrant an upgrade. S-pen extra features and multiview, all gimmicks to me. Don't get me wrong the Note 2 is a step up from the Note 1. But not for $299. This is my opinion only. But I do agree with JoeCanuck, I think people just want it cause its the latest and greatest. I for one would like to see more software optimization for our hardware instead just sticking the fastest processor in a phone and call it good. Nokia 920 for example, that thing is smooth. I don't think I'll ever get a windows phone but I was amazed how smooth it ran with half the specs if the Note 2.

By all means, this post is not to discourage those wanting to uograde .

300 is just silly to pay for an upgrade..

I mean the note is a great phone, but, upgrading just to say you have the latest and greatest is kinda silly, unless you have alot of money to toss around for toys...

The carriers know they can create a buzz for a new phone, and people will go crazy to throw their money at it. The Iphones are the perfect example of this..

As a new customer without any phone, I can understand, but, if you have a rooted, working perfect Note 1, I dont get why you would throw that away for a note 2

and, how do you know how much better than note 2 is? are you speaking from personal experience, or just buying into the hype?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BoOsT:
There's hype and there's facts. I started the battery thread over here. Exactly like the one for the International version. For the n7100 people are seeing 8 hours of screen on time in a day!!! That's insane. We are luckY to get half that on the note 1. Not to mention native JB that doesn't have issues.

I'm waiting to see the stats for the att version. I doubt they will match the n7100. If they don't I won't buy att.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BoOsT:
Yea I have 3 batteries now lol I'm not trying to argue. It doesn't matter I'm buying one outright either way. I wish I weren't torn between the 2 so I could have already bought it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wase4711:
no doubt the 2 has great specs; its just annoying that now that Samsung is the "premiere" name in smart phones, they feel justified in bumping up the price on the note from 199 to 299..

corporate greed just annoys me..

I mean, at 199, att still makes a ton on us after 2 years of airtime/data charges.....plus, I am sure Samsung makes a ton when they charge carriers 600-700 per phone.

They are both great phones, I just cant see blowing another ~340 bucks on a 2, when my note 1 is still awesum in every way, especially the developement!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ManelScout4Life:
Didn't the original note come out for the same price.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wase4711:
I dont remember, I know I got mine for 199@Best Buy, but, you might be right...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BoOsT:
Oh I agree with you its ridiculous. And cm may not support note 2? I'm sure they will, but it could be a while.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wase4711:
if there wasnt such great Dev support for the Note 1, it would be easier to make the decision, but, there is so much great stuff for the Note 1 now, it will be quite a while before you see all that for the Note 2...once the novelty of the newness wears off, for most of us, its how the developement is, and, it will be awhile b4 the note 2 has the variety of great stuff for it that the current Note has..

just my opinion, and everyone chooses a phone for their own reasons..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] borijess:
I got my original note for like 100 bucks with all the discounts and from best buy and price match. Now I got the note 2 for 199. So will sell my original note for well over 300 dollars. To me it well worth the upgrade.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
Back to your original question, it's silly due to the fact that you've used an upgrade 7 months ago, locked into a 2 year contract. Then, sell said phone for whatever to use ANOTHER upgrade to get the Note 2 at 299. NOW, if you're somehow getting the same upgrade on the same line, and THEN it'll be worth it.
