Moby phone time again

[Tiberius Onklevaart]

So that is now coming on 2 years since I got the desire.

Long term? Not amazing, but overall decent. Not sure ill be back to HTC in a hurry.

So next.

Galaxy Note II


Reasoning:
Big SAMOLED screen (for smut, of course), quad core, 2g RAM, BELLS....WHISTLES.....


But mainly, the stylus. It will be handy for work, as I'd rather carry that around than a folder when carrying out inspections. Just load up the form and write down there and then.
Tidier desk etc etc.

Does anyone have one then?
What's it like in practice?

Got a one x after my wildfire, a massive improvement. Absolutely brilliant!

I used to work for The Carphone Warehouse and the higher tier Samsung handsets typically sold well and were of a good build quality - the cheap ones were usually sliders and the flexi always went on those

I currently have a Galaxy S2 and previously had a Galaxy S - both very nice handset and my house mate has a Galaxy S3 which is a natural extension but with more hardware functionality. The Note is essentially a larger screened version of the Galaxy series in terms of usability and the original came highly recommended by my colleague who bought one after buying my original Galaxy S

word of warning Ramy, with the Note to your ear you'll look like wee Davy does with a regular sized phone.

I went from a Desire to a Galaxy II - it's a great phone. Much more responsive operation than the HTC, decent battery life and even makes phone calls

Any bigger and it wouldn't be pocket sized and I'd look like a knob using it, but I guess image isn't an issue for you :lol

I use an iphone 4 and its been trouble free for about 4 years now (touch wood).

Like a Nokia 3310?

we have just had two new phones ,galaxy s3 and a galaxy s3mini, the wife and daughter are well pleased with them.

Mine makes phone calls (Luddite alert!)

[Tiberius Onklevaart]

So nobody has a Note II?

[richfzs]

Currently trying to decide between S3 and HTC 1X Plus...

[stevierst]

Can't say anything about a comparison, but the one x does everything that modern tech can privide. Not sure about 4G, but I think that's quite a way off being commonplace yet (someone will prove me wrong)

And the one x has a big HD screen, unlike the ip5!

Well Evil Empire won't give me a cut price deal til my contract is up. Pfft. another month or so of waiting

[Tmation]

I bought myself a Google Nexus 4 form google play £279, most of the specs are better than the S111 (no AMOLED Screen though). Its a cracking bit of kit for the price, gets a good write up and sells out so there is a 4-5 week wait (or there was).

[fireblake]

I have an S3 and it's awesome. Nuff said.

[Tiberius Onklevaart]

Note II on the way.

"So that is now coming on 2 years since I got the desire"

Yeah, you and my wife. 

[Tiberius Onklevaart]

Ok then you lovely buggers.

This phone is superb. Its so good that a pal o mine who had iphone since it came out has switched and loves it also.

Great screen with hreat qaility amd feel. Its also visible in sunlight.

Fast web and intuitive typing amd layout. Fully (almost) customisable home screen.
Bundles of apps.
I haven't tpuched my laptop in weeks. Baely since I got phone. Need a bluetooth keyboard and hdmi so I can put it through tv. I cam download and stream shows thanks to finding a flash version on a site. 


Its fuckin amazin and I highly recommend it. The battery is immense compared to the desire. I've ran out of juice a couple of times but that will happen. I had to buy extra batteries for the desire(2 of which were left on the table in a club when boozing with sir slag of the beer)
That wont be a problem with this and I'm on it all the time. There is no coincidence with the major fires happening in paisley and surrounding area and my getting this phone


9 out of 10


Its not a 10 necause the "back soft key should have been a real button. It too often skips back when leaning on acreen using s pen and too easy to hit it just moving around the phone
