The problem is the Note 2 makes that guy look like he has small hands. And you know what they say about hand size...

My battery life on the Note 2 has been about the following for a full day (about 16 hours, 7AM - 11PM): Virtually no usage...about 70% battery remaining Light usage...about 55% battery remaining

Well its been one hell of a ride with my old phone and waiting for the Note 2.   I bought 2 Notes at the end of Oct and was hoping they would arrive before my vacation, but due to the storm they did

As somebody with big hands I can't wait!

 

My little Galaxy S1 with the 4 in screen, I get mis-types all the time due to the small keys on the touch keys. Its much easier to type on the wife's S2 with the bigger screen. This lovely 5.5 inch screen with Swiftkey will be awesome!

 

Glad I held off on the S3 until the fall crop of phones came out.

that they have big feet? Gravity is such a bitch. :P

 

But i must admit, when I first saw that pic, first thing across my mind was wow the Note looks huge in that hand. Then realized it must be the hand. lol

I am really wanting the Note 2 but we don't have LTE here yet. What options do you have on Sprint if you still have your old phone and want to go back to using it on WIMAX? I could see my breaking down buying a Note 2 and want to switch back and forth a couple times before LTE shows up if I have a need for decent speed for a few days.

Looks like you can switch phones using the web anytime you want without a fee. I really thought there would be a activation fee of maybe $30 each time. I should have looked more before I posted.

I have 9 WiMax and LTE devices. I switch them out all the time.

I think I can swing $650. I even have someone willing to give me their upgrade if I give them my GS3. I might be willing to do that.

 

You would trade off your Galaxy S3??? Have you cleared this with the curator of the Robert M. Herron Museum of Modern Cellphones?

I don't want to. I want them all!!! I'm also kind of concerned that maybe the Note 2 won't be as good of a radio performer.

 

But if I couldn't swing the full price, I might be willing to do the trade.

What I usually do is create an RSS feed on eBay for a new device I want. I scan the buy-it-now options and wait until some ding dong decides they want a "quick sale" and list a buy-it-now for an usually low price.

 

Since getting LTE in Boston and seeing my EVO perform, well, poorly, I just picked up a brand new factory sealed mopho Q for 320 shipped. I am eager to test out a physical keyboard again, as well.

 

One week after note II comes out, I bet you will be able to buy-it-now for ~400 shipped :)

 

You can count on me buying a Note II off eBay for about 300-350 and selling my old phone for ~300. After fees, it's about a 75 dollar upgrade.

So I stopped by Best Buy today to see how a note fits in my hand. I can reach the whole screen except an area the size of a nickel in the top right corner (using my left hand) without having to stretch it. More worried about my pocket. Might have to go back to a holster.

 

Can't wait.

AT&T LTE is showing up here in Detroit now. Sprint better get moving or my Note II might be on a different network....

 

I was almost thinking the same thing but after running several speed test this weekend and getting an average of 1.8 on 3G, I think I will holdout for LTE to reach OKC.

The problem is that most likely the SIM card will not be removable meaning you will be forced to deal with Sprint's outrageous international rates abroad.

Yeah, it looks like it will the embedded type. On test models the area where the sim card would be is missing. (See my post in xda)

 

Still, even with that minor setback, I will get the Note 2. Every day i see more videos coming out of korea and just when I thought the device couldn't surprise me, it does.

 

Case in point,.. slow and fast motion video.

 

btw, the site sxtp has a image of the leaked FCC document for the Sprint Note 2. So that means it will be on the FCC site very soon.

I am not sure what I am going to do, I am really hoping that sprint/htc can figure out this lte issue but I would still prefer the evo because of that beautiful screen, I can't stand pentile at all. The funny thing is the pentile on the gnex didn't even bother me until I saw the screen on the evo. Anyway, not sure if this has been mentioned before but the note 2 isn't going to be pentile which should give it a huge improvement in screen quality and because of that I think I may end up with a note 2 if sprint/htc can't fix my evo issues. Its still not your standard rgb setup but its still better than pentile.

Just had a cursory look at the FCC docs and I'm left wondering, does the Note II not support SVDO? How bass ackwards would that be considering that the Galaxy S III supports SVDO?! At least SVLTE appears to be onboard...

With the dual antennas, i would be shocked if it didn't support SVDO

Wow that sucks, but I've never had an SVDO device before, so no biggie. I wish there was a dislike button

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Wfmets45 · Posted

      Does anyone know how well implemented is VoNR in the 5 boroughs. Does anyone use it? I have an iPhone 15 Pro. Does anyone know if T-Mobile is still working on upgrading their network? It seems like the service has gone down. My phone struggles in parts of the Belt Pkwy, and data is slow.

      I come to the US Open men’s semifinals and finals every year, and I’ve never been able to use my T-Mobile phone successfully. Usually AT&T is the top performer—good to hear Verizon has upped their game.

      One sector down, two more to go — — — — —  I was at Arthur Ashe Stadium for the U.S. Open today and the good news is that there is an n25/41 DAS setup throughout USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. From the "boardwalk" to the outdoor concession area, to inside the stadium; you connect to standalone n41 and n25 everywhere via oDAS and iDAS. The bad news is that in the actual stadium it's beyond useless. While I saw strong coverage as indicated by signal bars and I was able to make calls and send texts, there was no data throughput at all. Running a speed test failed 9 out of 10 times. The only time I got a speed test to work was by switching to LTE funnily enough or by using NSA 5G where the test would initiate via LTE and then n41 would kick in giving me ~20Mbps. T-Mobile has so much traffic on their 5G network that now n41 gets bogged down before LTE. That was a first for me! In the stadium in the same area Verizon got 1.2Gbps on mmWave and LTE kept timing out when trying to test it. My Boost line on AT&T got upwards of 150Mbps on C-band and I know they have mmWave deployed as I saw their Nokia mmWave antennas deployed but I was unable to test it. In the outdoor concession area T-Mobile performed well getting over 150Mbps on n41. AT&T in these areas saw over 250Mbps on C-band and I didn't get the opportunity to test Verizon there. It just seems like 140MHz n41 is not enough capacity for the amount of people inside the stadium. Hopefully T-Mobile is considering deploying n258 to all of these stadiums since they now own that mmWave nationwide. It'd make a world of difference in terms of capacity at these venues.

      Looks like the second n41 carrier in Seattle was finally upgraded to 90 MHz recently. No idea why it took so long but at least they finally did it.
