Samsung Galaxy Note 2

anyone have this phone?

I currently have a Windows Phone, and I do still like my windows phone, but I am with Sprint, and so far they have yet to announce a WP8 handset... so, I don't know if I love Windows Phone enough to switch carriers for it.....

if nothing comes up in the early 2013, I may be looking at a different ecosystem...

normally I'm pretty diehard that i need a physical keyboard, but this phone looks really appealing to me.... not sure if it's the stylus or the $40 flippy cover thing, but it just looks like something I should own....

anyone have one?

Like you I needed a physical keyboard, my 3 previous phones had qwerty keyboards and I thought that I would never buy a keyboard-less phone.

Then I bought the Note II, it's huge screen does not compensate for the lack of a physical keyboard, but I can live with it and I think you will too.

Both my brother and sister in law have one and they really enjoy it. My SIL has stopped using her tablet. I am thinking of making that purchase as well in the near future

I tried one out this weekend when I was at Best Buy. I was hesitant before when I tried it but it seems like a very nice phone. I am very tempted but am on the fence between the S3, Nexus or iPhone 5. Most of the reasons for the Android phones that I chose was software updates. I don't care if I get numbered version OS updates but mostly I would like security updates and phones are so limited to getting them with OS upgrades it seems.

Not sure if the Note is considered a specialized phone for Samsung and if they will be updating it reliably is my main concern basically.

lol it happens, no one actually really cares about we post in forums, enough to remember it. I might write something in here then create a thread about it later hahaha

Did you get the phone yet?

I want to buy the logitech bluetooth keyboard for it.

my contract isn't up until March, so, I'd have to pay $50 on top of the high price of the phone....

so... as much as I want to go get it.. it's just a ton of money, but the idea it could save me from buying a tablet is helping me justify it

I saw T-Mobile is getting rid of subsidized phones. I think phone hardware is peaking though so not sure how much longer carriers can keep enticing people to continue the contract-upgrade cycle. I noticed the resale market for phones especially iPhones is keeping steady so the two keep getting closer and closer.

I want to buy my next phone off contract and looking at the specs of the SG3 I might get that when the next Galaxy is released.

I really don't know to be honest I keep flip floppng on what I want.

Holy cow rumors of a 6.3 inch display Note 3? Saw the story on Cnet, has to be a rumor lol

Saw a comment along the lines of "Might as well get a regular tablet, put it in your backpack and use Bluetooth" lol.
Maybe with the announcement/release the current one will drop in price significantly in the refurb market and I can get one then.

the current one just came out in late oct early november. NO chance you will see any price drops any time soon.

actually, there is a development. if you are getting a new contract, it's down to $149 on Sprint, but still over $200 for contract extensions

if it was $150 to re-up my contract, I'd get one today

I'm in the final stages of procurement for a big order of 2's and i see this thread

.

The phone feature will probably be the least used aspect of these devices for us go figure.
