Are you petite? I can fit my 7" tablet in my cargo pant pockets. I can fit the Note in most of my pants pockets. I never wear skinny jeans.

Me? Petite? Haha, I wish. Anything bigger than the EVO 4G would be too bulky in my pockets. It would look goofy walking around with something that big in my pocket.

I hate contracts. They are so limiting at times. But for me to be able to afford a phone, it's a necessary evil.

So do I, which is why I have a second line so that I can change phones every year. But now that that one is ported over to AT&T. Once Sprint gets the Note, I change it back.

Its still up to debate whether that was a mistake by the graphic person putting that phone up or its actually Sprint dong one of its announcements without actually making an official announcement. I hope its true though, and maybe at CTIA they will make it official. But that I know of nothing will transpire until the Oct/Nov time-frame when Sprint historically does alot of phone deployments.

The whole thing about the note coming to sprint is odd. The phone came out on October across the pond and both sprint and Samsung seam to be doing little to dispel the rumors. Having been a loyal consumer of Samsung devices this saddens me. I've had an upgrade pending since February and am tired of waiting. I don't know about the sense ui but if the evo lte makes it to stores first I'll give up the half inch of screen to get a new phone, this old epic has been great but it's time to move on.

I can fit this 5" Galaxy player in my front pocket just fine, and I am not that big of a guy. I compared it to the Note today, and the Note is barely bigger

I was never petite my whole childhood. And maybe a 5" phone wouldn't be that bad to carry around after all.

I have been looking for the note ever since it was hinted to in January in fact i want the thing, im always looking for it, in fact i usually have two searches on google, "sprint lte", and "sprint galaxy note" now as far as im concerned the whole "leak" makes alot of sense. couple of reasons. think about it AT&T has exclusivity for now, remember the Nexus was "exclusive" to them too. CTIA is next month perfect timing to officially announce. Kind of like how sprint did during CES for the NEXUS. This "hint" is a good idea with nexus and viper being released next week, The EVO one, just cleared FCC Friday, in time for next months preorder. Which means people are already saying whats next? well "accidently" positng a picture of what is pretty obviously the NOTE, without actually saying oh hello this is whats next... at least its got people looking again...

5 million sales world wide of the GSM galaxy note, how many more could samsung sell with CDMA, im sure they have wondered as well...

5400? That is a huge battery.

As for battery life, my Shift can get up to 2 days with medium use on the 3500 mAh battery i have in it now.

shit i havent seen two days from a phone charge since my sanyo 8300 lol, im what they call apower user lol

If I use my phone a lot more, then I get only 1 day for battery life.

[twospirits]

No kidding, yikes i just say it on Amazon. Wow. While its true that it will give you (theoretically) twice the battery life as the OEM one, it just makes the phone look so damn fat and weird looking. It just defeats the purpose of having a large but yet thin phone. Now you have a large and FAT phone. lol

I'll rather have extra slim batteries on hand. Speaking of battery, I have yet to properly test the longevity of the OEM battery in my Note. Being that I have it plugged in during my ride and also at work, but I just may try it. Probably won't last a day since I'm a heavy user, although some have mentioned that theirs lasts for a long time.

ya know i thought the same thing when i first bought extra batteries for my epic... i bout a couple extra batteries but the battery life on FROYO and Gingerbread was so awful i finally bit the bullet and bought that monster, extended batteries have been a way of life i remember my old 6700 a brick of phone in and of itself but you added that extended battery and it became a monster titan and touch pro same thing... hopefully with the dual core and the battery saving aspects of Ice Cream Sandwich and later on Jelly bean, i can actually have a big phone without the big battery... will wait and see.

[ScandaLeX]

Also had an extended battery for my 6700. I didn't see any great difference between that and the battery I was replacing. Made me feel like I gave my money away.

So Sprint confirmed the EVO's launch date, announced a hotspot device and a push-to-talk app but no Note. Does this mean no Note for 2012?

Most likely no.
From reading the threads here and elsewhere as well as Roberts excellent notes on the subject I came to the conclusion a while back that the Note will not come to Sprint this year (at least not sooner than the 4th quarter). Which is why I couldn't wait and got it on AT&T. Robert has shown us from this document recently posted in the EVO LTE pre order thread that there is one device currently in testing that will be released by Sept (3rd quarter). But I do not think its the Note. By Oct we will be very close to the one year anniversary of the current Note. So unless Samsung and Sprint get the Note out by 3rd qtr, I don't think it will come at all in its current form this year.
Plus, Samsung has mentioned that they are already in the process of creating Note # 2, so by Nov/Dec I am sure they will announce it officially. Whether that will be the international version or US version or both is yet to be seen. me thinks it will be the International version first then a US GSM/LTE version In Jan/Feb and a CDMA/LTE version in Feb/Mar.
What throws this theory of mine into a loop is the talks that Verizon is going to get one also by years end. If they do get a Note it won't be the updated one but rather the current version.

It also seems that a Sprint rep made a post stating that Sprint decided not to carry the Note (at least this current version) see link. This is not to say that Sprint won't carry the newer updated version that Samsung is working on and what I think will happen.

That's too bad. My brother, sister, and gf all wanted the Note. My sister even mentioned switching to AT&T like you did.

[jdiddywray]

So what do we need to do to get the Galaxy Note/Journal to Sprint? I suggest Sprint give up the iPhone and concentrate on real cellular devices and its 4G/LTE network in central Arkansas.

[jdiddywray]

Most likely no.

You gotta get the inside scoop soon because my Sprint contract is up, now, and my far sightnedness really wants the large screen of the Note/Journal hybrid phone/tablet.
