Samsung Galaxy Note 2

Lot's of cracking reported on the white Note I. I will go for grey.

 

That settles it, I was thinking grey anyways, with the grey flip cover.

 

It's weird, I was all antsy about not having a release date, not we have one and I'm all antsy for next Thursday.

 

There seem to be anecdotal reports from people posting in many forums that there will be a preorder this week. I asked Sprint sales and they said there is not a pre order at this time. It took me asking the same question (Will there be a preorder before the 10/25 release) three different ways and I got "I can't commit to an answer."

 

I'm almost leaning to a preorder on Friday now. Just have to wait and see, otherwise, I took Thursday morning off from work to pick one up at my local Corp store.

I'm curious as to the cracking comments. Cracking where? On the covers, or the phone itself? I have a white one myself and the only thing that is out of place is the folio cover starts peeling at the bottom edge. But I have interchanged with numerous different colored folios and they all do that. The Black one, the White one, The Blue one, etc.

folio-peel is rampant.. i found that once the "outer" bezel of the folio has peeled (the crust?) completely, it will no longer do it. My chief complaint is the bubble that exists along the folding edge after a lot of usage. You can smooth it down with your finger easy enough, but still annoying. I would love to see some sort of kevlar or carbon fiber folio case

Just google Note cracking. Similar to the EVO 4G cracks. Seems like the white ones cracked more often than the blue

You knew about the note 2 in June? <awestruck>

 

Yes. I also knew that the EVO had LTE Connectivity problems before it even went on Pre-Order. I know lots of things. :secret:

Reading over at Sprint community forums, a lack of information about this device is causing confusion. There seems to be speculation that 10/25 the device may only be available for order or pre order. When you ask a sales rep at the Corp stores, they don't even know what the device is. You ask online sales support from the sprint.com store and they give vague answers or say they don't have info.

 

I sent an email to the two email addresses on the Press Release asking for the definition of being available on 10/25. I'm still working under the assumption that I'm walking into my Sprint store on 10/25 and walking out with a Galaxy Note 2

I'm hoping that one can go to the store to pick one up on the 25th, but my gut feeling is telling me that its the day for pre-orders. Just wish a leak would come out showing a Sprint screen indicating if they are in on the 25th. There is also that huge UPS warehouse that Sprint ships all their devices from, not a peep or leak. It takes about 2-3 days for devices to get to the stores if i am not mistaken.

If it is just pre-orders, then I'll be pissed. Almost every other device has a pre-order date and an available date. Seeing as this is only an available date, it has to be for purchase.

I'm looking to go to my sprint store at 10am on the 25th and be the first get my Note.

 

Anyone know any inside information besides engadget, and sprint forum posts?

 

Thanks

See this. Hoping its not true, but it will fall in line to the date I've said all along. Nov 11th.

All of the corporate folks I spoke with assure me it will be here at the end of the month. They insist in-store sales (and not just pre-order) will happen then, but I take that with a grain of salt for the moment. In order to tide me over for NOTE-i-ness, I just picked up a Note 10.1 and am fiddling with it at the moment.. Chief complaint, No JB yet

I have been able to confirm with a source a 25th release date for the Note 2, and a 11/11 release date for the Optimus G. I don't know anything about preorder dates, yet. If there will even be any preorders for these devices.

Also, I have confirmed pricing with the source. $299 on contract, $649 retail.

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
