I will prob move from the Note to Note 2 when it comes to at&t. I've really enjoyed the Note. With my volleyball and soccer teams, we do a lot of road trips and the large screen makes it nice for game playing and Netflix watching, I use the stylus on a daily basis, and it fits easily in my pocket.
Got a tip for us?

Anyone going to get a Galaxy Note II?

I'm not too sure about PPI about taking into consideration the aspect ratio, they are both HD if you know what I mean. 16:9 = 1280x720 that is the same as 16:10 = 1280x800.
Easy there...I've already commented regarding that. Look at my quote. No need to rub it in if i've admitted my mistake
Ahhh I see what you mean now
woops
I am not talking about resolution in the PPI sense, but about resolution as number of pixels, as it is used in screen specs.
I say no only for the fact that I just got a Note and by the time I can upgrade late next year, there will be a bevy of options to choose from. Otherwise, I totally recommend it!
ok then so it is the same thing. I mean the resolution has not changed it was just amended according to the aspect ratio
I'm seriously considering it because of the screen size alone.
I really don't care about a pen / stylus on a phone.
But I do want to handle it first before deciding on it.
I do like the Note 1 and did buy one but had to return it as my unit was bad and the guy I bought it from did not have another one, but the couple of days I had it I really enjoyed that screen.

Definitely very tempted. It's either that or the SG3. I can't quite decide if I want the screen size of the Note2. Initially I thought I did, but I'm thinking it overlaps too much with the iPad. In either case, I need to save up a bit more money first.

It is not the same thing. The original note has more theoretical pixels in one direction.
Definitely not. The iPhone is just a few weeks away, and it's going to steal the show.
Just smile and wave at those who bought the Galaxy Note. Just smile and wave.
Sorry, but if all the rumours and leaked parts are what they show at the keynote then it's not even going to wow me, let-a-lone 'steal the show'. I'm expecting so little this year, they really have lost my 'smart phone of choice' now. Will be interesting to see whether they miraculously bring out something different to what we expect, but I don't think they will. A taller screen isn't going to cut it for me one little bit.
OMG are you still trying to argue this point
RELATIVE to the ratio it is the same!!
I don't even know what you try to mean.
It is NOT the same. 1280x720 vs 1280x800.
ok here goes:
1280x800 displayed on a 10:9 aspect ratio (that is pink+green area)
is the same thing as
1280x720 displayed on a 16:9 ratio (that is pink+purple area)
I'm not saying 1280x720 = 1280x800....but resolution for devices goes according to the aspect ratio of the screen.
1280x800 would not fit on the screen! so they reduct it to 720 and have a longer screen ala 16:9.
The length has the same pixels, even if it is longer.
The width has less pixels.
So, it has less real estate, hence worse.
Sorry I meant resolution. What resolution could they have gone with on the 16:9.
the 16:10 had its disadvantages hence the newer version.
I've heard the note 2 is rgb and not pen tile. That alone makes up for the lost pixels.
that depends on:
a. How big are your pockets
b. How big are you...ie how big are your trousers.
I don't see what disadvantage 16:10 would have if they had kept the same size, which was perfect.

I know about the different technology.
I mean the previous one was better if the resolution was properly advertised.
You don't need full color resolution for full detail.
that depends on:
a. How big are your pockets
b. How big are you...ie how big are your trousers.
I wear pants that fit me and I want a phone that can be in my pocket and still be able to sit down.... Or am I just being picky lol
