Went by the local samsung store today to find out when it would be released... and they had a couple of demo models in the store to have a look at.

Amazing phone!

Slightly narrower than the original Note. Basically it looks like an S3 on steroids.

Can't wait til the 15th!! The only shitty thing is that it's $1000 in Russia :( but fuck it, I'll be getting it.

Also had a look at the Galaxy Camera - Holy hell... 21x optical zoom, comes with Jelly Bean and 1.4 Ghz Quad-core processor - ON A CAMERA!!! Back side screen is the same as the GS3!

If'd made this thread saying it would shit on the iphone or some such, there'd have been a million responses.

Truth is, it DOES shit on the iphone!

People with little girly hands need not apply tho.

It's already out in Korea...

For me it'll be out on the 15th. Can't say about the US tho.

Will the US version be the LTE of HSPA+ version? I know the UK is getting HSPA+...

LTE here in Russia.

I have heard lots of good things about Nokia's new Lumia 920 and it has some pretty amazing specs, but after using the Note all screen sizes are just too small!!

I read that all carriers would get it in the US, but not necessarily at the same time.

I've had the Galaxy Note since it was released and it is the best phone I've ever had. I am contemplating the Note 2 but I don't feel like it's a must have even though it is significantly improved. A year into it and I'm still very happy with my phone. This is probably the first phone I have kept for more than a year.

Going from iPhone 1-4 to the note 2. Was going to keep the streak alive and go iPhone 5 but decided the note 2 is the game changer. Bring it!! Phone Post

Hey guys, serious question here, despite the fact that it may make me sound like a faygot.

Are you guys worried about radiation at all? Does a bigger and more powerful phone mean higher levels of radiation? Phone Post

Bigger screen

and the list goes on... the Note 2 is equal or superior on every spec to the GS3.

the new Galaxy Camera is equal in specs to the gs3.

Imagine your Galaxy S3 with 21x optical zoom and I think something in the vicinity of 18mps (with other specs to actually make use of all those mps!!

I have had the Note for almost a year.

Great phone and I probably wouldn't change just yet except I've dropped it more than a few times and finally after dropping it face down on the road, I cracked the screen.

Repair is in excess of $200 so I thought, fuck it, and I'll just get the new Note.
