shaunm82 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Man, if Sprint gets this, I may be on board, depending on the SIII. My wife just got my the 5" Samsung Galaxy player, which is basically the same size as the Note, and I am lovin this 5" form factor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4GRU Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Now that I am using a 7" tablet so often, when I go back to my E4GT, it feels so tiny. I want a bigger smartphone. I'm thinking phablet.

shaunm82 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Yeah def, I set the Galaxy player next to my Evo 4G, and its tiny lol! If the SIII is 4.65" I can go with that, but no less! The phablet would be a perfect in between device. I checked myself in the mirror a few times with it up to my head, and walked around the house like I was on the phone.. not bad at all.

S4GRU Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I figure 95% of my smartphone usage is for data/texting, not voice. And half of my voice usage is hands free or speaker phone. So my device would better serve me with a bigger screen than a small form factor for yakking. That's what I figure anyway.

MacinJosh Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 If it can't fit in my pocket, then i won't get it. A 5" screen is just too big for me. How big is the screen on the E4GT again?

MacinJosh Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 4.52" That would just barely fit comfortably in my pocket. And i wear cargo pants with big pockets. Sent from Joshs Evo Shift using Forum Runner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from Joshs Evo Shift using Forum Runner 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.

lrmcgarvey Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I've played with the Note and while it is cool and can fit in my pockets. Its a bit large for everyday, everywhere carry for me. The new phones like the El-tevo and rumored G3 are a good compromise. If I am really going to need the screen real estate I'd just pull out my tablet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twospirits Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 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. "Samsung Galaxy Note shows up on Sprint website" http://www.mobileblo...ebsite/2212496/ AJ 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.

majicman Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert - Posted from my E4GT with ICS using Forum Runner 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJC1973 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 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...

twospirits Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 5400? That is a huge battery. 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. TS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TS 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 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Also had an extended battery for my 6700. I didn't see any great difference between that and the battery I was replacing.
