There are a lot of exciting and new phones/tablets coming out soon. Android 4.3 is out, the Galaxy Note III is around the corner, there is a new Nexus 7, Moto X is coming, etc. Are you tempted to buy any of these devices?

How long are you planning to keep your Samsung Galaxy Note before upgrading to another phone or simply not using it anymore?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] GeeZnU:
I'll probraly get the note 4 , heh
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] skryte:
lol ive already went through one and am on my second. the first went into a lake, bounced off concrete, and just finally the screen went out on me 2 months ago. i had all these accessories so i figured id just get another. then when this one dies i'll get something different.

I am done with contract phones. I like my note and as long as it functions normally I see no reason to upgrade it. I have 4 phones on my plan and the last contract ends in September. After that I'm going to try straight talk or TMobile. Of my 4 phones, I have 1400 minutes, two data plans, nation wide, unlimited texting and I get a 25% discount through my job and I'm still paying $200 a month. If I switched to ST or TM, I can get 4 phones with full data....etc for the same price. Granted you don't get 4G LTE, but I really wouldn't miss that HSPA+ and 3G is good enough for me.

When one of my phones dies, I'll gladly search Craigslist and buy something to replace it used...

I just finally dumped my ATT Uverse...... ATT sucks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] captemo:
Just until i can get a deal on either Note 3 or Mega. Whichever is bigger and i can get refurb deal on. Last purchase i got 2 S3's and Note for $100
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Really now:
Currently there is not a phone on the market that I would take over my Note. As for the up and coming devices pretty much all we have are unfounded rumors. I am looking forward to the Note 3 release and if it has the size and features that I want I imagine that it will be my next upgrade. But there again I'll be waiting to find out exactly what these new phones have in them before I do anything. :fingers-crossed:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bob60626:
I'll probably pick up a clean used Note 2 this fall once the 3 comes out, primarily for battery life. I also want to get the TMobile version this time. I've been spending a lot of time in Milwaukee and my TMO S2 just does better than the Note. I might even ditch my 7.0+ when I get the new phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Aiekazie:
Note 3 or Moto X for me. I'm hoping a dev of my old phone will move to Moto X when it releases and if he does then I'm sold.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ProFresh4:
Love my Note may get the Note 3 or Mega whichever they are gonna call it. But I will always keep my OG Note until it dies on me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CalcProgrammer1:
I'm sticking with my Note i717 until Note 3 is out AND has good Cyanogenmod support. Can't stand using non-AOSP ROMs. I will never buy a device without a wacom stylus again, the Note has proven it to be a great feature. I like the 5+ inch screen size as well. I wish Note 3 went back to 16:10 (maybe 1920x1200) but I'll probably still get it regardless as long as there's a T-Mobile supported version I can get off contract, and preferably with a Qualcomm SoC because Exynos sucks for open source ROMs it seems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jman315:
I live between Milwaukee and Chicago. Try flashing the TMO UVLG3 modem. I've had the best results with that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dubsteps:
As long as devs port the newest Android OS to the Note, I will most likely stick with it. I don't like the physical Home button, on newer Galaxy S# and Note# phones. Maybe the Galaxy Mega or HTC One Max (if it has an SD card slot).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] merlise:
For FOREVER. If it will last that long c: I'd say at most . . . two years. I just ordered my Note a few days ago off of eBay and I'm patiently waiting for it to arrive. I'm leaving my Pantech Burst behind (I'm gonna miss it), but this phone will be an upgrade. I can't wait to see what it can do :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] briand.mooreg:
Will be upgrading in Sept.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TE TOQUE:
I'm patiently waiting for the Note 3. I just recently purchased the AT&T S4's for my wife and two sons and they are great devices, yet I love the larger screen on the Note. I've had the Note since it came out and waited on it for about 4-6 months prior to release after reading about it. Since purchase I have many cases, battery wall charger and 3 batteries (which in always carry 1 extra in pocket). If the Note came in a 6 inch screen like the Mega I'd love it, but the Mega's specs aren't very appealing to me. With the rumors mentioned about the Note 3 seems like I won't get 6 inch, more like 5.7 following the .2 increase from Note 1-2. Now regarding network I would NEVER go to anything less than LTE again after being spoiled with these blazing speeds of 60 mbps + . The service is sometimes almost 2x my home network speed (30 mbps Charter) and almost 5x the speed of regular U-Verse speed (10-12mbps if they are lucky). If been using JellyBean Sandwich Rom which has kicked every other ROMs butt (in my opinion) regarding stability, battery life and sheer performance and kept me satisfied with my Note 1. Hopefully we will see more about Note 3 soon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bubba:
My son is getting great battery life on his Note 2 even not rooted. I may go with the N2 or maybe the Note 3 if Samsung doesn't run it with the new Tizen operating system. I have been eagerly awaiting the N3 ...but fear they will ruin it.

I ordered a T-Mo Note 3 from Negri Electronics but they're having trouble getting stock in. I can't wait to play with it but at the same time I still love my i717...definitely keeping it and continuing to follow the scene here. Might finally try the Ubuntu/Debian port I've been wanting to try but didn't since it's my only phone.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CalcProgrammer1:
The T-Mo version SM-900T is bootloader unlocked and the regionlock has been broken already. The AT&T version is still locked down though. Apparently the T-Mo Note 3 works fine on AT&T's network so people are buying it unlocked for that. I use my i717 on T-Mo and will use my SM-900T on them as well.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] icenight89:
I got one, and every day is a happy reminder of what a good choice I made.

battery is unheard of on an LTE device, and the camera quality / zero shutter speed make me happy.

Combined to with the fluidity of the phone, I can't complain. Would prefer Root box or beanstalk to touchwiz, but with Wanam + xposed I have all the features I want minus volume wake.

I agree. I've never felt or had a need for the latest and greatest tech. I like trying to do more with less. The devs here do an awesome job of providing roms that in my opinion are better than oem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
After playing with this good but useless screen sized n4 it is extremely hard for me to go back using the note, I notice the age of the notes internals right away, makes me want to drop off contract price on an ultra rather then wait on telus.

Just what's on my mind right now. Reading and watching rumors about liquid cooled . 4gb ram. Better faster more efficient CPU. 4k resolution displays because the code is there to support it (xxxhdpi). Samsungs new phone design. 128 gb memory. Waterproof. And Etc..devices is starting to get me hyped up for Next years phones. Of course they're all still rumors.

I'm keeping it as long as it works. I got a used Infuse 4G running AoCP about a year ago which was my first real smartphone (had an old LG Rumor on prepaid before that) and the charging port went bad on me, so I decided to get something better a week ago. I'm loving this phone with all the custom roms and extra screen size.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DARKCHYLDX101:
Zeus was my number 1 go to ROM on the Infuse 4g. Was going to throw it back on there for old times sake and couldn't find it. Now its a backup phone collecting dust in the dark closet awaiting the day my Note dies which may never come, along with his buddy the Captivate.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] KSoD:
Since my upgrade isnt until June of 2014, I will be keeping the phone till then. I really want the LG Optimus G Pro, but not sure if leaving Samsung is worth it. I have checked their forums and read lots of comments about how it is a great device. But honestly my last stray from Samsung phones was for the Atrix and that didnt turn out well. Having the Captivate before this has only made me want to stay with Samsung. But right now there is only the S4 or the S4 Active that I would want to get.

Could wait till the Note 3, which is what will most likely happen. Since that will probably be out before my upgrade is ready. Could use another line upgrade, but really trying not to.

to big for your little man hands? :P

i dont really use my phone as a "phone" i rarely get calls or take calls, so the bigger screen for surfing, games and videos works perfect for me, and i can get that bluetooth handset for if i ever start using the phone more.

what sold me to leap from Samsung to Sony was the waterproofness of the phone as i thoroughly enjoy floating down the river and would be nice to be able to take the phone with me down river :)

also doesnt hurt that Sony is extremely developer friendly :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] updatelee:
I love the size of my note but the 8h battery life and 2x reboots a day on cm 10.1.2 and all other images I've used, the intermittent stripped/flashy lines all combine to drive me up the wall.

UDL
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jamesyboy:
Lol. I loved this. :)

I suppose its probably the aspect ratio and design. There are things about it I like....but I guess its mainly Sony's history of build quality, updates, and support that make me extremely skeptical....even biased. But its frustrating seeing them release another square device with sharp edges.

I find that Sammy and HTC have a more established recent profile than Sony or LG.

It's going to take more than one series of devices in order for me to trust that the device is worthy of a 2 year contract. When I buy an HTC or Samsung device, I know exactly what I'm getting. I know the device will be mostly plastic, but the build quality won't be bad, I know the AMOLED display will be bright and oversaturated (which I happen to like, he he), and I know I'm set for 2 updates. I also believe it likely that the development community will likely contribute to the device. I can't say the same thing about Sony devices. And releasing 1 or 2 flagship devices in a single year that addresses these issues, does not a great phone company make. Consistency is important, and the pre-x10 and x10 devices (even their devices up until now) have slaughtered their reputation. All of them have had major issues in at least one of the areas I mentioned, Sony has often had issues in all, or almost all of the listed areas.

With the abundance of trade in offers, I think you'll find that you should he able to get the Note 3 for $100-150 dollars when it comes out, or even cheaper a bit later on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
ahh but you forget how developer friend Sony are known to be, including aosp code and such :)

there is NO chance you will get that from HTC or Samsung, you wont even see more then a factory image for the google edition phones from both.

the Z Ultra comes with a completely new to mobile display, its the same display type as their 1080p tv's and Sony tv's are up there with the best so im expecting the device to share that quality.

and lastly, we are on xda, updates from oem are almost useless to us other then the 10% that rock stock based roms :)

yeah its nice to get all the drivers and such, but we make due and really what did the 4.1.2 release do for us on jellybean aosp roms? absolutely nothing :)

in the end it comes down to what you want and no ones changing your mind, same goes for everyone else, thats why having the abundance of choices in phones is great!

According the AT&T all future phones they sell will have locked bootloaders, same for Verizon.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jamesyboy:
"It's a hit or miss". That's exactly why I wont buy anything with an inconsistent brand presence. It isn't about who makes it...it's about how the manufacturer who makes it behaves. There were nexus devices with 0 practical support...I almost bought one (they were only unlocked at the time, and I decided that I wasn't ready to spend $750 on a phone. If the company just got through a rebranding, or has been on shaky ground, I avoid them. I think most people feel this way about major purchases. Another example of this (even though it's a farrr more major purchase) can be detailed by looking at car sales. In my statistics classes, we'd choose a company to investigate each semester--I remember the first semester it was Sony's TV branch, and the next semester it was BMW. We'd analyze their statistics--everything from warranties, features, sales, BoM, etc, to customer service calls. Everything that was published.

When we chose Ford for our 3rd and final semester, we investigated the Warranty and Recalls of the Ford Explorer (the model year that would randomly catch on fire, killing dozens, and burning houses to the ground). The Ford Explorer went from one of the most popular, and most awarded car (for safety as well), to a cursed brand that nobody bought for 3 years. That's how long it took for Ford to rethink it's design, recall the old, push out the new-with it's redundant safety design, and for customers to even slightly start purchasing them.

If a company screws something up, it should (rightly so) take a couple reiterations (or in Ford's case, years) to reestablish a presence.

I don't have anything "for" Samsung as much as I have a lot "against" a few companies. There's only one real no no in my book--and that's claiming that you're poo don't stank. If you release a crap device, at least try to make your customers happy. Whether you're a fruit company and you simply bribe them with a free case, or you extend their warranty...do something.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] stiffi2011:
I actually just bought my 3rd Galaxy Note. I had both the i717 and the N7000 2 years ago when they first came out. Then I got bored, and went through a slew of phones. Now as a way to (hopefully) end the endless cycle of chasing the newest technology, I bought another used Note because it was cheap and is "good enough".

There are too many announcements in the Fall, coupled with the ones from the last two weeks. I want to let the dust settle and see which flagship people generally think is the best. Till then I'll keep the pennies I saved on selling my last few devices at the ready.
