Well, okay.
I'm happy with my Note II, I think I'll skip a year and see what the Note 4 will be like.

Picked mine up yesterday to replace my broken GN 2, I'm surprised at how much I'm liking this phone more. I could have easily skipped it if my GN 2 wasn't broken, though.

GN3 OT of Being Disappointed by Good Reviews
Just got my Diztronic case for my future VZW Note 3:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F3KP156/?tag=neogaf0e-20
(It was Prime shipping when I got it.)
Just too paranoid about drops to keep it w/o a case. Had this brand on my GNex from week 2 or so on, when I could tell the phone would slip out of my hands a lot.
This is definitely going to be a huge size upgrade from the Galaxy Nexus, woo boy. It's mostly the width that will affect 1-handed use. Hoping I get used to it--I think I will, but I actually use my phone one-handed a lot more than I thought, since I've been actively thinking about it the last couple weeks.
EDIT: Whoa, when did I lose Junior? I've been a lurking junior for like, 5 years. Cool, man.

does this still flag the KNOX counter?
will rooting reset the phone to like factory defaults? (losing contacts, etc)
Didn't think I was gonna upgrade from my Note2 considering all the new features they've hyped up are all software so I figured it'll eventually come to other devices...but I caved in (free on contract, after trade-in, why the heck not I guess lol). Now, on to searching for the best case for this thing..........

It shipped oh hallelujah it shipped!
Beware of the Sprint version of the Note 3:
http://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/135660?start=0&tstart=0
I got mine and can't call home from work anymore because it all sounds either garbled or quiet and distant. I also do not get the same coverage with it as I did with the Note 2. I get less bars in the same places and slower or not existent internet speed compared to the Note 2 on the same network.

Verizon? I saw on Droid Life that lots of VZW pre-orders were going out. I ordered more than a month ago and still haven't gotten my email. =[

Oh, wow. I really hope this is a Sprint thing, and not a CDMA Radio thing. VZW phone coming on the 10th, and my Galaxy Nexus already gets shitty signal.

Getting my VZW Note 3 today, assuming someone is home when they try to deliver. Excited!
Hi all,
On a separate note, has anyone seen one of these on sale in the U.S. yet?
http://www.fonearena.com/blog/84235/samsung-galaxy-note-3-extra-battery-kit-unboxing.html
I've seen it called an extra battery kit, spare battery kit, etc...and sometimes it has a small area to use as a stand for the phone, too. I had one of these for my Galaxy Nexus and it was very handy to charge my spare batteries. I'm hoping it's not necessary to use since I should see a pretty massive difference in battery life out of this phone, but I'd still like to get one. Preferably at Verizon, if possible, due to my 25% off discount, but I don't see it listed there yet, granted they just started selling the phone this morning.

My best friend is getting a Note 3 and giving me his Note 2.
Is it still a good phone?
Is it still a good phone?
Heck yes it is. Here is a fairly detailed video comparing the two of them. His verdict: there aren't enough bells and whistles in the Note 3 to warrant paying for an upgrade from the 2.
As for the 3, mine is on a FedEx truck for delivery.
I don't have one, but hearing from a lot of Note 2 owners, it seems like it's stood the test of time very well so far. It's behind in software (Android 4.1) but the 4.3 update is due soon, and may have been leaked, too. Battery life is great, from what I hear (better than Note 3, some claim).

I used coupon code Verizon30 to upgrade to the note 3. Received 30% off at check out on verizonwireless.

I could never go back to a normal sized phone now...
Yes. Still love mine. The newer one has a higher res. screen + more up to date Android version, but there's no real problems with the Note 2.

I've had my Note II since it launched on Verizon. I can't imagine going back to a small phone anymore. The GPU is probably a bit underpowered compared to modern devices but LOL Android has no games anyways amirite? Besides that it performs great.
I especially enjoy it when people show me their new phones. I plop their phone on top of mine and point out that my screen is bigger than their whole phone.

probably because a lot of people this device is aimed at have a Note 2 and are waiting on a Note 4.
Wife got the Note 3 from Verizon yesterday. I am so fucking jealous. I am trying to think of a way to upgrade my Nexus 4 to a Note 3 on T-Mobile. We both would need to pay the full, unsubsidized price for the phones, so $1400 is a hell of a lot to swallow.
I like my Nexus 4, but I stupidly got the 8gb version, and am tired of having to shuffle apps because of the lack of storage, and the battery life sucks in comparison. I am ready to upgrade...

Is there anyone on Tmobile who moved up to the 3 from the 2 using Jump? I dropped my 2 and cracked the glass last month while traveling and now that I'm back I'm itching to just trade it in for the 3. I have insurance, but I undersrand it's just $13 more a month for jump.
Any experiences or advice?

If you have insurance already, there is no reason to not get on the jump plan. Iirc, you will save $3 since its cheaper than buying insurance.

Really love this phone! Coming from an HTC Rezound so this is a major jump for me. It's going to take a while for me to figure out all the little tips and tricks though....

Thinking about selling my 5S for Note 3. Hmm.... Does TouchWiz still suffer from stuttering?

TouchWiz feels pretty awesome for me thus far
I'm just waiting for a root solution that does not flag the KNOX counter
and I'm going straight for Greenify
Watching this video on my Note 3 is pretty awesome.
I tested the video recording on here earlier by taking a short video of my dog playing outside. I showed it to my wife and she said it was like watching through a window instead of on a video.
