Incredible phone/tablet!
By rpv
When one opens the box, there is a sense of awe. People ask "Is this really a phone" was one reaction I got. It is an amazing piece of hardware. I have used Android devices starting from Cupcake version, used iPhone, HP Veer with webOS, Windows 7.5 HTC Titan 2. This phone is the sleekest and one of the best so far. It is fabulous! I find the big size to be very good and not a problem at all. Will the Galaxy Note 3 be 6" ?!Out of the box, connect to wireless and get the phone logged into Google account. The advantage of Android phones is that once you are logged into Google universe, everything gets synced up especially if you have been using Android. The position of power button is at an excellent position for your hand on this Note 2. The additional LED for notification on top is very handy. Listen Apple? The camera serves some really futuristic ideas also. It can check if you are looking at the phone and disable screen lock (even if you set timeout to say 30 sec). Also it can serve as password unlock. Amazing! These can be set from Settings Menu.The Android version as of Oct 26 2012 is Jellybean 4.1.1. Kernel version is 3.0.31-259982. Model GT-N7100. I got the 64 GB microSD card. Get this mobileUltra, it is the latest as of Oct 2012. (SanDisk 64GB Mobile Ultra MicroSDXC Class 6 Memory Card with SD Adapter - Retail Packaging. Settings show an available space of 59.45 GB. So along with 16 GB built (system shows only around 10.46 GB), my Note 2 has 80 GB memory. With music in the Google Music cloud, I intent to use the memory for video/pictures as a camcorder/camera.I strongly suggest going through Settings and customizing many things as per your desire. I did Voice Input, Keyboard (this comes with English(UK), change to English(US) for example. Fiddle around the settings and you will be amazed how much you can customize. I also did Battery % to appear in notification bar.One thing I found the default keyboard did not show Mic button. I realized it was next to Sym button. Long press it and choose Mic. And then on, it will appear in default keyboard. Also customize the accent. It can do magic for typing. I type paragraphs at a time effortlessly. This is Google backend servers at work. The Mic on Samsung Galaxy Note 2 does a fantastic job!S-Pen, Ah.. I was truly impressed. You have to use these to believe it. The note taking was very fluid. Samsung seem to have nailed it. I wrote up an equation in Equation mode - x^5 = x^2 + 2x + .... Something completely random, another one d/dx(an equation) and it recognized perfectly and asked it to search, it went to Wolfram Alpha and solved it. It is at first unbelievable and then it starts to sink in this is a computer program made well. Like it should be in first place! Export to pdf is very good. The main thing is the pen is very fluid and feels like a fountain pen writing.Overall, the phone feels very smooth and snappy. The screen is crisp and clear. Apps can even be multi screened. Samsung approved apps can be placed two in a screen. Eg. Maps on top and email on bottom portion. I doubt I will use this, but handy.One gripe I have with this phone is speaker is on the back. Typically if you lie the phone down, the speaker is blocked on bottom. I wish the speakers were in the side. This is a design decision and not sure why phones have speaker on back. But the speaker volume is very high, so I am not complaining too much.One big pain point with Android is once you purchased/downloaded for free Apps, they cannot be permanently deleted. So even if you get a junk app, and delete immediately they are permanently there in your Google Play store. From the phone's play store I got 300+ Apps. One cannot choose 50 apps and say get all these. You have to do one by one. After getting one, the screen resets to beginning. So I went to a computer browser and pushed apps to pone. This is easier and faster.UPDATE: With Jellybean and even ICS, I found you can delete the apps. It is not very intuitive. On Play, there is a circle with a /. Click on it to delete the app. It disappears from the phone list.Some of apps I have as of now :Nike Running+ App - Excellent app uses GPS to track walk/run, highly recommend for fitness trackingAmazon MobileAndroid Status : Android Status app shows ARMv7, Max Freq 1.6 GHz, BogoMips 1592.52 Memory 1.79 GB, Free 365 MB, Internal Storage 10.46 GB Free 7.18 GB.

Too Good to be true or Alternate Universe!
By Steve Chambers
So everyone intending to purchase the international version, please read the email response I received based on my inquiry to Samsung USA customer service concerning the operation of my phone. I hope this helps you make an informed decision. I redacted my personal information.On Wed, Dec 26, 2012 at 10:44 AM, President [...] wrote: Hello Mr.xxxxxxxxx, Thank you for your inquiry.

I need some information and contacted Samsung customer service (live chat and by phone) only to be told that I cannot receive customer service due to the device being an international version. To receive customer, i was told to contact customer service I need to contact Samsung China! What kind of madness is this?!Copyright 2012 Samsung All rights reserved.

2 biggest drawbacks...myths BUSTED ;)
By Bill Door
I won't waste your time reviewing the features of this phone - factual information on this device has reached saturation levels already!Instead, here are 2 of the biggest fears I had, put to rest since I bought it:1. "The international version (GT-N7100) uses 3g/4g bands that are not compatible with T-Mobile, so T-Mobile users would be stuck with Edge speeds". Luckily, T-Mobile have already begun rolling out 3g on the 1900 band (which this phone supports) so there is no longer any real advantage to having the T-Mobile branded version instead, in my opinion. I have been able to get 3g in Kansas City at the time of writing. This is a big deal because, at the time of writing, T-Mobile has the best monthly data plan options by far.2. "It's too big." Nothing could be further from the truth. It fits in my jeans pocket along with my wallet EASILY, and I hardly even know it's there. Believe it or not, it has a less obtrusive profile that my 1st generation iPhone, and weighs about the same. It does have an amazing screen area, but it's very slim, and that makes a much bigger difference than screen area. Apple are simply wrong about the iPhone being the optimal form factor, and this phone will prove that. I predict this form factor is about to become very popular.Complaints that you can't reach everything with one hand are irrelevant - of course you can't reach across the whole phone because there's more phone. You can still reach as much stuff as you could before. There's just extra space for more stuff! How is that bad?I'm not a gadget person who tries out all the latest stuff. The last smart phone I bough was the 1st iPhone. It took that much of an evolutionary leap to persuade me to try it out 5 years ago. This is honestly the 2nd smart phone I have ever been tempted to buy - in my opinion, the form factor, power and stylus precision take this phone a step beyond all the others.
