Mini- review: Just got my new Samsung Galaxy Note
 
This behemoth of a phablet has a massive 5.3" Amoled screen. The colors are very vibrant and the screen screams "look at me!!". This is coming from a long time apple fanboy. I've had every iteration of the iphone since the original and Im glad I made the switch. The UI is fairly user friendly once you get comfortable with the changes. I ordered myself a PLX kiwi bluetooth OBDII adapter and downloaded the torque pro app. It shows gauges such as boost, revs, and includes HP, 0-60 times and 1/4 miles times. I am blown away at technology these days. Now I dont have to install a boost gauge on my Sti!! Here are some pics of the size difference between the iphone and the note. :happydance::happydance:

Ya i ordered it from amazon. I would wait until the official att version is out. I have the international version and i just found out its not unlocked or 4g. Good thing amazon has an amazing return policy.

Good luck man. I preordered mine as was advised by the ATT rep. Apparently this phone is going to rival the iPhone release. We'll see though.

Wow! That thing is huge compared to the iPhone. It would feel like I was using my iPad as a phone. lol

Ya i thought the same thing for the first couple of days but after using it for a week or so, I've come to the conclusion that its actually the perfect size phone.

Ya I can't imagine the s3 having very good battery life. Its 4g, has an amoled screen and has a quad core processor with 2gb of ram. Those are some hefty stats for a cell phone.

hefty stats, but slim phone and lightweight.

atleast the galaxy s2 is, surprisingly battery lasts me a whole day with constant texting, internet browsing, calls, e-mails and catching up on my NBA mobile app.

Oh and its wicked fast! Truly one of the best phones out today.

I'm not entirely sure how much the other stuff will effect batter life (4g is a pig, though) but if the quad-core is anything like the Tegra 3 in my Transformer Prime it should actually help it. I'm no tech guru but it has to do with the core management, only bringing an additional core up when it's needed or running multiple cores at lower frequencies to keep energy consumption down.

well heres the prob. it was released world wide first and then the US got it later.

as of right now, no one knows specs or hsa seen it.

they estimate they will announce it right before the next iphone or right after to go head to head with the next iphone.

that wont be sept oct

Diasuki did u get your us version note yet? Mine came in yesterday.

370zFORme!! 02-19-2012 02:31 PM

Just an update. I bought a pro clip charging dock and PLX Kiwi bluetooth adapter for my galaxy note. It installed in 10 min and I didnt have to tear apart my dash. Only slightly covers the volume knob and I have control for that on the steering wheel anyway. Now I have my gauges, Nav, a 12MP camera for recording potential track events and its 4g so my dl speeds are fast enough to watch live tv through uverse. Although I dont do that too often for obvious safety reasons. Works great!
