Any talk of HTC making a Galaxy Note like device in the future?

I think it will be great for competition if HTC would make a Galaxy Note like device for 2014. LG has stepped up to the plate in 2013 with the the LG Optimus G Pro device which will compete with the Galaxy Note 2. No word yet on whether Sprint plans to carry the LG Optimus G Pro device which will begin to sell in the US in Q2 2013. If only HTC and possibly a Motorola/Google could also make a competing device that would be great for competition and customer selection given HTC's material build quality is superb over Samsung and LG's plastic phones.

I was at the local Sprint store tonight checking out the Note. I have to say, I really like it. As a diehard HTC user, I would jump on an HTC-branded 'phablet'. I would buy it on launch day no hesitation.

I wouldn't be surprised if HTC comes out with a "phablet" later on this year, but they better come out swinging because more than likely I will be all over that note 3 when it comes out.

As big as the Note 3 is purported to be, it might be all over you.

LOL, yep.

 

 

With the design of the gs4 in comparison to the gs3 I figure they would do something similar with the note 3, keeping the same relative size of the note 2 and have as slim as possible bezel. That with the rumoured use of an lcd screen will all but seal the deal for me.

Maybe they are planning a slightly larger device.

 

Spurred by strong interest in the device from Asia, Taiwan Focus reports that CMO Benjamin Ho said the manufacturer plans to launch a "successor" to the Butterfly under the same brand name "to meet consumer demand."

If it's between 5" and 5.3", I would likely get it. The Note 2 is slightly too large for my taste.

This sounds almost like a phone dating profile. Imagine the possibilities...

 

"I am looking for a phone between 5" and 5.3." Not too light, but not too heavy. I like a few curves and a bright, smiling display. HTC Sense (of humor) and no baggage from a carrier relationship are both pluses."

Wow, how do you come up with this stuff? In the morning, no less. I nearly spit out my coffee. Too funny. :lol:

Let's see if I can close all the loop holes but knowing AJ he will still find one to get a zinger in.

 

I think the Note3 would be perfect at 5.8 inches. Maybe I am getting older or just spoiled but when I look at the phones with smaller screens it just seems painful to do. Kind of like switching from a 57 inch TV down to a 46 inch. (holding my ground on keeping my older HDTV in the bedroom). I have no issues using the phone and or putting it in my jeans pocket or even shorts pocket when I am at the gym.

At your request...

You use the Note 2 in your pocket for appearance like some guys use a roll of quarters?

We all better hope our GF's/Wives don't decide to leave us for an extra 1/2 inch :P

    • February is always closer than you think! https://stadiumtechreport.com/news/caesars-superdome-gets-matsing-deployment-ahead-of-super-bowl-lix/ Another Super Bowl, another MatSing cellular antenna deployment. Caesars Superdome, home of the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, has deployed a large number of cellular antennas from MatSing as part of an effort to increase wireless network capacity ahead of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX in February, 2025. It is the third such deployment of MatSing equipment at Super Bowl venues in as many years, following cellular upgrades at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII and at State Farm Stadium for Super Bowl LVII. According to the Saints, the MatSing antennas were part of a large wireless overhaul this offseason, done primarily “to satisfy fans’ desires for wireless consumption and bandwidth,” an important thing with Super Bowl LIX coming to the venue on Feb. 9, 2025. Each year, the NFL’s big game regularly sets records for wireless data consumption, with a steady upward progression ever since wireless networks were first put into stadiums. https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/caesars-superdome-transformation-2024-new-orleans-saints-nfl-season-part-1-wifi-upgrades-wireless-cellular During the offseason renovation project, the foundation of the facility's new Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was the installation of 16 multi-beam, wideband spherical lense antennas that are seven feet in diameter and weigh nearly 600 pounds apiece, a model called the MatSing MS-48H180. Another 16 large antenna spheres of varying sizes and frequencies have also been installed for a total of 32 new large antennas, in addition to 200 cellular antennas inside and around the building, all of these products specifically made for high-density environments such as stadiums and arenas. The DAS system's performance is expected to enhance further as it becomes fully integrated throughout the season. The MatSing MS-48H180 devices, with a black color that matches the Caesars Superdome's roof, each were individually raised by hoist machines to the top of the facility and bolted into place. Each cellular antenna then transmits 48 different beams and signals to a specific area in the stadium, with each sphere angled differently to specifically target different coverage areas, allowing increased, consistent coverage for high-density seating areas. In addition to creating targets in seating and common areas throughout the stadium, these antennas create dedicated floor zones that result in improved coverage to the field areas for fans in 12 field-level suites and the Mercedes-Benz End Zone Club, teams and on-field media and broadcast elements. The project is also adding 2,500 new wireless access points placed in areas such as concourses, atriums, suites and food and beverage areas for better WiFi coverage.

    • FCC: "We remain committed to helping with recovery efforts in states affected by Hurricane Helene. We stand ready to do all that is necessary to return connectivity to hard-hit areas and save lives." SpaceX: "SpaceX and @TMobile have been given emergency special temporary authority by the @FCC to enable @Starlink satellites with direct-to-cell capability to provide coverage for cell phones in the affected areas of Hurricane Helene. The satellites have already been enabled and started broadcasting emergency alerts to cell phones on all networks in North Carolina. In addition, we may test basic texting (SMS) capabilities for most cell phones on the T-Mobile network in North Carolina. SpaceX’s direct-to-cell constellation has not been fully deployed, so all services will be delivered on a best-effort basis." Space posted this at 2pm today on X.
