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....

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?

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 itCurrently Working On

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. -

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.Certs: CISSP, EnCE, OSCP, CRTP, eCTHPv2, eCPPT, eCIR, LFCS, CEH, SPLK-1002, SC-200, SC-300, AZ-900, AZ-500, VHL:Advanced+

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 todayCurrently Working On

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.
