John, your freaking sig totally tripped me out!!

 

I figured it was time for something different. you may be the first to have noticed it

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

Maybe try Galaxy Note hairline cracks.

I'm up for some hot Note 2 action. Especially if it had Jelly Bean.

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.

Do tell, Robert, do tell!

I'm afraid if he told us everything he would have to kill us.

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

[twospirits]

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.

[brendan4t]

Still hoping for the 25th for the release ... Really hope its available.

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

[S4GRU]

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.

Well, $649.00 is better than the $800.00 I was expecting.

Does anyone know if BESTBUY will be selling the Note 2 on the 25th?
