It does look pretty good from the front and side. Much more refined than the S3. Always hated that weirdass S3 shape.
EDIT: LOL cracked back already.
I'm willing to flash/reset my phone to get this fixed, it's been a thorn in my side. If I reset and start from android 4 would the partition be gone?
Ah but I have, all the time. To the point where trying to update a 10 mb app wouldn't work since I was out of "device memory."
Well you know... unless it makes it more fragile

Remember I was complaining about the messaging app and how it looks like someone who just learned how to program apps made it. Well they finally fixed that lol. Samsung reads my posts.
Just proves that some things are too ugly even for Samsung.
Unless they're icons.

honestly I'm blown away they let that shit slide for the S3. It actually looked horrible. Now it looks like a normal, easy on the eyes pleasant app. The icon still sucks though, so you got that right. There should be a way to replace icons without rotting just for Samsung.

Google should keep it but charge for it for maximum lulz.
Blind data feeds area horrible data sources.
Use Titanium backup to backup and uninstall all Samsung apps.
The Chinese text stated the rim is plastic that made to look and feel like brushed metal.

you're always late
Oh geesh, lol. Figures. It looked a lot more like metal than the S3's rim so that's why I thought it was.
How come the website linked says "Stainless Steel Band"?
-Pyromaniac-

lol if true, typical samsung to the max. It doesn't look like that though. It looks like real metal so it's a good imitation if true.
My post included a picture!
They probably don't speak Chinese.
Ah, alright. Thanks for the info.
Are you sure it isn't referring to the S3? Because the "metal" looking part on the S3 is supposed to look like brushed metal, but this one looks more like stainless steel (of course, whether it actually is is a different matter). Not doubting you, just wondering.
Well the Chinese test stated plastic. Just wait till tomorrow.

It definitely looks like metal to me but what's the point of even speculating, we'll see tomorrow. Not even tomorrow, it's almost 1am. Today!

no, the partitions are set up by the device manufacturer. all you can do is move whatever apps can go on SD to SD. well, there are more options if you're rooted, like forcing apps to SD that normally don't allow it, etc, since many apps will work fine...

Can't wait to get back to having a microSD slot...64GB will finally be plenty enough to keep some games music movies and pictures on the phone
Probably have to get that Appradio 2 installed now too so I can mirror the screen in the car. Should have bought it months ago.

I love the 64 GB microSD in my Note II. I keep 29 GB of music on my phone, which is also my portable music player.
In unrelated news, the free app of the day on Amazon App Store is Osmos HD.

It will indeed be nice...
Not that I hate the cloud... But skip that until I can get a data plan that is actually unlimited. I do try to use WiFi whenever possible but see that's why we have data plans on our phones. Because its not always possible.

I can get a new phone next week (still using an iPhone 4), and I've been reading lots of reviews and previews of all those fancy new phones coming out in the next few weeks.
But the more I read the more I think I will just go with a Nexus 4.
Stock Android, always up to date, clean, good battery life and less expensive.

$249 is more expensive than most of these phones will be on contract, though. Right?

That's true, but I don't live in the US, I can get the Nexus 4 on contract.
I guess the differnce will be around 200$ between the N4 and one of the new models like the HTC One, S4 etc.

That LG ad is awesome! LOLOLOLOL

Yep, I was about to bring this up. I remember when many people, myself included, thought Samsung was using brushed metal on that phone, turned out to be plastic. Even the blog post at the official WP blog called the rim metal, so Samsung at least does a good job of making that fake metal plastic look and feel metallic.
Home button big enough to hold the Verizon logo, I see.
This is why we all agreed Feedly is the best RSS app. Right guys?
But yeah, feedly is less lists and more Flipboardy. I prefer this, now. So beautiful.

Outside of Note users who want the S-Pen stuff don't most all of us install CyanogenMod (or some off shoot) anyways?
Honestly if you're just going to install CyanogenMod on the thing most of all the phones in the US will be very similar anyways. They'll all have probably the S600, 2 gigs of RAM, and a similar Camera. It'll just be down to little features like if you have to have an SD Card Slot or if say the design aesthetics sway you.
It's very much like last year where the One X, GS3, Atrix HD, Razr HD etc... were all basically the same phone hardware wise.

I won't knock them till I've tried them. I didn't think I would use any of them but I find that I use at least 4 of their "gimmicky" features quite regularly.
