[Galaxy Note II General] RumCoffee:
Companies are full of it... Samsung too.

I'd certainly be 'very' disappointed as everyone here is if the Galaxy Note 2 only was available in 16GB. However once again. IN essence since it's a FLAGSHIP device as they 'call' them, I think Samsung is just covering their BUM cause you guys in UK complained about the advertising being false. I admit, I'm not in UK. I'm not even in AMERICA anymore where I come from and haven't been there in 8 going on 9 years.

If the Galaxy Note original is at least available in 32GB, eventually it was, why would the NOTE 2 not go there? It would just be seemingly backwards. Now the word I used here is "EVENTUALLY". As far as Samsung is concerned, that's when they get happy or Pigs Fly! Whichever comes first but they couldn't really care less what we want.

The guys fictitious happy ending actually has a little bit of RING of TRUTH to it!

1st. A big RELEASE of an ANDROID PRODUCT on MAJOR carriers WORLDWIDE! This includes CHINA too where I work though I haven't honestly looked at it but I might take a look and see... This means selling a model that fits the COMMON user and making that model in production numbers 'large' enough to cover the release of a much coveted device. 16GB plus 64... still beats what a 64GB iTOY of any flavor can offer doesn't it?

2nd. 128gb normal sized SD cards are already out so eventually, yes my FAVORITE word here... EVENTUALLY hopefully added to this, as in maybe next year in 2013, 128GB micro SD cards will be available. Once again... 128 + 16 iTOY anything can't touch!

3rd. I don't know about 64 GB but again this is a FLAGSHIP device and if S3 can get 64GB and already has 32GB, we can at least still look forward to 32GB for sure, 64 is a strong possibility but it falls under the ONLY GOD KNOWS category. I'm still waiting to see... cause I see a lot of SITES in WESTERN countries, UK, Asia where I'm at, that sell unlocked devices.

I only buy unlocked DEVICES and wouldn't buy a thing sold in CHINA due to their RESTRICTIONS just like US carriers I'd never buy a phone there either. I'd just order one unlocked somewhere from overseas or the international version. All these sites are still advertising a pre-order of 32GB Galaxy Note 2's.

For waiting 2 more months? I'd give it a try if you can wait that long. I personally wasn't really planning on buying until January. One after the Xmas rush. Cause I know how companies are about this kind of marketing crap. Two cause I was just curious ;) if we might get a 3rd color for the Galaxy Note 2. Maybe Blue or something? Any color besides GRAY and WHITE. Well Gray is OK and I'd buy it if that's all there is come 2013.

However, I am still willing to GAMBLE that either just before XMAS or if SAMSUNG really doesn't give a CRAP, just around January to February we might see some of those 32GB's cause it'll be 3 months later just like they did with the S3. The do know there are GAMERS out there who will put these BIG files on the phones built in storage, but as the guy said about who wrote the possible happy ending...

The device is aimed at opening one, a new market. The Phablet market or whatever term they're using. I just call it a Mini Tablet. :p

The people they want to buy this are the users who are considering... iTOY 5, but were still hung up but leaning towards it over the S3, People who might want to consider the iToy Mini. Despite the numbers of Apple Brainwashed... We'll want to see if Samsung thinks that the Apple Mini toy is pulling some steam from their S3 and Note 2... then we might see the 32GB sooner but I expect all this to be just more marketing BS and it's just like many have said here. All about the sales.

The 32GB is for later to add incentive to buy to those who didn't already buy the 16GB. So we got most of November to go through for Samsung to look at their numbers and their happy Accountants to say, release or don't release the next size in internal storage... they'll milk the 16GB for all it's worth and will not begin selling the 32GB until sales begin to falter on it. I don't know the Production costs for the same device with different memory sizes... but obviously they feel they get better profit on the 16GB version. Notice how when it came out in some countries, Asia at least, the LTE version was not released in Early October. I was in fact wondering if my Favorite Unlocked seller was going to get an LTE version until I saw they advertised it in Singapore, before here in HK/China... odd that.

So, ironically, lets hope the iToy Mini steals a few sales from the NOTE 2 and then we might see the 32GB earlier. I can't even imagine when they'll get HAPPY enough to release the 64GB version but lets look again at the S3.

The S3 though doing great and well liked by many is nearing the 'end' of it's life. Rumors already abound about the S4 and it's possibility of having 3GB of RAM? (Once again we should at least see the 32GB NOTE2 between this time and before the release of the S4 so they can try to capitalize on the max sales before some people think the S4 overshadows the NOTE 2. Still now a 'few' 64GB but not many and not in many places yet of the S3 have been released. (We may see more of those before Xmas which might if they sell well, delay our waited for 32GB of the NOTE 2. So it's all a numbers game and the upper size internal memories are just incentive to buy... I am patient enough to wait for the 32GB because i won't settle for anything less unless their's absolute certainty that there won't be a size greater than 16 GB but I am sure there'll at least be a 32 GB. It's just a toss up whether it's before end of 2012 or beginning of 2013.

I agree with plenty others here who said that 16GB as a size has well been surpassed but again, apparently neither GOOGLE nor Companies agree and I'm not even going to start on CLOUD storage. Call me paranoid but I like my stuff with me and I know how to make backups. I'll leave it at that.:angel:

Let's not start on the fact that Companies all so far have literally 'decided' that we as USERS don't want KEYBOARDS. As a whole demographic so they needn't make any devices with keyboards anymore. Again, I consider myself touchscreen challenged and there are a large number of people here at XDA who wish for and wanted to know what the 'next' keyboard Android was. Alas, there wasn't for this year and the 'few' that were are literally midrange and actually not quite that.

So, we sorta need to wait until some company somewhere wanting to get into the mix decides to go for BROKE and try a different form factor and puts everything on the table... otherwise, we just wait for companies in the lead to try to jerk us around like fish on the hook, like Samsung is trying to do here.
