[manidmart16]

[Bhuzze]

[lazycr33p]

I still have froyo :(

[GerryCapoVideoVault]

Iphone beats it

[miloesalazar]

iPhone wayy better

[ivanterrible12]

Where do you get your unlocked phones

[MrRichy96]

with a huge screen come huge responsibilities LOL

[armandornd]

@TheMoose2010 I started laughing when I told you to learn how to use correct and punctuation before you put up a comment.

[ez4u2read]

@armandornd Your comment isn't even grammatically correct. You also happen to be missing a word after correct -.-

[delsaber971]

Y U NO SHOW MUSIC AND VIDEO APPS ?!!!

Y U NO SHOW MORE OF WEB BROWSING WITH FLASH CONTENTS ?!!!

[chonaV]

Too big. Clearing the memory regularly for optimum performance and battery life is a pain. Too plasticky. Although the display looks amazing. That's pretty much it. I'm sticking with the iphone. Hopefully, the ip5 offers a bigger screen. I'd be satisfied with a 4.0 display, not bigger than 4.3.

[timpos546]

I'm getting this in a few days :) EPIC!!!!!

[TheDyz01]

when he compare his galaxy note and iphone 4, galaxy note was like i am the boss, iphone4 ! LOL

[Bettertech2012]

@oris8085 let me list the things the iPhone 4s has that are better than the note 1. Casing design2.nothing 3.nothing

[Bettertech2012]

@oris8085 let me list the things the iPhone 4s has that are better than the note

[oris8085]

just screen and flash player other then that iphone 4s is better

[zouryteck]

This or should i wait for the Samsung Galaxy S3 ??

[kebab786]

@zouryteck

Get this I just got this over a week ago, and damn is it really good. Large screen and makes web surfing, watching videos, emailing, texting and the S pen comes in handy most times. Its a great phone. No regrets with this phone and haven't found a fault with this.!

[chiamaka123456]

Dear Santa all I want In march is the Samsung galaxy note I love it so much cause it makes my moms iPhone 4s look stupid lol

[ninjadudevideos]

and... i just got the skyrocket....

[ninjadudevideos]

1.5

1:35

[NathanaelsFilms]

Dear Santa...

[theAlvinTran]

13:05 actually, it's 2:29 if you look at the clock at the notification bar. your clock at the home screen had issues that it stayed the same most of the whole time.

[peopleknoweverything]

did it just said ugly phone in the beggining

[UniqueUsername007]

the big center clock stayed at 2:23 through most of the video.lol. plus I dont understand how it has the best processor yet it still choppy flipping through the screens. android fail

[AzruLPu]

@UniqueUsername007 its choppy cuz he just cleared the memory and the apps in the menu is refreshing.

[aleckz44]

i have the skyrocket now i want the note but idk i just think is a big really big phone and i always use skinny jeans :/ but it is my dream phonee :)

[TheIdimart]

@aleckz44 i own this phone and its very compatible with skinny jeans and regular jeans go ahead and buy

[rbhoopes]

think I'll just start holding my iPad to my ear lol

[amalio357]

Wow. This is the first time I've personally heard you give a device other than the iPhone such high marks sir. Lol, now I'm interested in the S-note.

[VienAmor]

Got the GS2 with a tablet for at&t in december......now they made a fatass baby, DAMMIT!

[ISAVEGAMES3]

My dream phone (^○^)

[ElectroTechNerd]

When he went through the dimensions I picked up a ruler. Then my jaw dropped.

[mrhaas93]

Which one is better ???????????????

HTC Sensation XE , XL or Samsung Galaxy Note ?

[wazark]

@mrhaas93 as a phone or as a defensive weapon?

[cheneyeful]

good bye i phone!

[Getduhmoney1]

The bottom line is...android has amazing devices. But the issue of fragmentation bothers me...meaning one phone might have 4.0 meanwhile yours might have 2.3...went from apple...to an Evo an loved it!!!!! But apple is way more stable and uniform.....sorry boys.

[BillyTay1]

@jon4lakers Is angry birds free?

[mechanic7866]

cant wait for my upgrade to come :D

omg i want it so bad.

[SonicZombie117]

Noob you.clearly didn't know how to manage your battery life and RAM and processes for the short time I had the gs2 I had trouble as well then i discovered a wonderful application I forgot the name but it improved my battery life by six hours

[FlaminIce8072]

@SonicZombie117 SO... whats the application?



[IRLON24S]

Been an iphone fanboy since the 2G, a phone that will make me switch has arrived. By the way amazon sells the unlock version.

[girafully]

OMG, iPhone looks so stupid sitting next to Note! 

[TheFlyingSkarmory]

T-Mobile doesn't get very many good phones :/

[mastergamer1171]

But will it blend?

[twospirits411]

Very good review. Waiting for it to come to Sprint, and that white version looks nice.

[spartan0000000117]

would be easier if you were left handed :P 

[maxdessureault]

the first android phone that makes me wanna switch from my iphone, but I know I won't be able to use an iphone after that HUGE screen

[Nanoj1412]

Not sure whether I prefer the white or black/blue versions. Choices, Choices.

[sebster369]

i currently have an iPhone 4s will switching to this be a good choice considering price.?

[totian99]

too big to be a phone and to small to be a tablet! Feel free its Galaxy note -_-

[manishrana50]

Lmao.

Oh samsung.

[thaddeusgalkowski]

@ogjbot Retnia is not a screen technology ...its a nickname. The IPhone retnia display is a slcd display with a high resolution. And Samsung phones now have a higher resolution than Iphail. Sooo yeah Iphail will always be playing catch up.

[ogjbot]

yeah but its NOT RETINA!! Apple invented the best display this ISN:T IT!! LOL@AMOLED, Samsmug trying to imitate RETINA but failed! Good luck catching up boys!! iPHone wins again!

[TheSlipKnot981]

@ogjbot uuum, "retina" is just one of iphone's catchy names to make a normal thing seem special. it's just a high-res display. since this phone's is a higher resolution, you're right, it doesn't have retina, it has something better.

[BogdanMadRider]

And i tought my Galaxy s is big... xD

[TheMoose2010]

when he took out the iphone, i started laughing.

[2002S40]

Me too. Reminds me of the Twins movie

[SiloNova25]

@TheMoose2010

Me too. It just looked so cheap and tacky when he put it against the Note.

[SlipMetDc84]

@TheMoose2010 me tooo hahahaha

[AzruLPu]

@TheMoose2010 me too

[1UpOrShutUp]

This thing has the same resolution as my Asus Transformer....

[ianchristie1972]

Size is essentially the same issue as you mentioned with the Dell Streak when you reviewed it. But if you want a good view of stuff the big screen is perfect. Typical trade offs.

[imonehellaloosepie]

that screen is bigger than my iPhone...

[heresthegoodpart]

@imonehellaloosepie Yes, yes it is.

[imonehellaloosepie]

@heresthegoodpart :(

[heresthegoodpart]

@imonehellaloosepie Maybe size doesn't matter. Much.

[gg2000gg2000]

giant iphone

[JGeiger15]

@gg2000gg2000 no, thats the ipad

[Kratos76pheonix]

Hi, Forgot to tell you that I love my music and want Super OLED screen. thanks.

[Kratos76pheonix]

Hi.

I'm looking for a new phone, now I've got 2 phones in mind. Samsung Note vs Galaxy Nexus? Please advise? thanks,

[osiva09]

@Kratos76pheonix go for the note

[heresthegoodpart]

@Kratos76pheonix Join the club. So do I. Are you going for unlocked? If you are, it gets dicey. If you're going with the predetermined carrier, then it's whether you want AT&T or Verizon. For me, it's about function. Will you use apps/tools that utilize the stylus? Do you like using a stylus? Is size important, etc.? What makes either phone better than the other depends on what you're using it for.

[G1NG3RM3X]

Why is the screen blue instead of white?

[berrylious2000]

Where can I buy this beast unlocked at?

[caomingtranhn]

need one



[beatsbydreoffical]

I'm sold



[nbutt85]

i 'm sold !

[VQian1997]

@marilyto that's really disrespectful. Dick

[jamiethomasqwerty]

No led, right?

[DRUMMER1996GEN]

@jamiethomasqwerty its not led,its amoled,dick.

[Shudanshugairola]

waaa yaar



[TheKrazzyGamer]

@Shudanshugairola kya baat hai!

[xtacee1990]

The white version looks so classy and polished and expensive. Love it.

[murdermcass]

i like turtles 

[pendejadasSchool]

@marilyto this is not funny.

[SperVxo]

Galaxy s3 might be a better choice if you really dont want the stylus functions

[Brownsational]

I sure hope Verizon gets this too.

[FanofFairyTail]

anyone noticed the volume interruption on 0:03?

[marilyto]

Apple fanboys apple fanboys everywhere!!! Suck steve jobs dick! oh! i forgot he is dead.

[spydrhawk26]

Why did the clock stop at 2:23?

[ignas082]

I have a french bulldog to ;-)

[sideswipe341]

patriots lost yeah =) 

[MrShadowstardust]

Dang..... :) you must have a lot of money to buy all these phones

[TheAgressiveSniper]

@MrShadowstardust They don't buy them..

[te86a]

Fuck camry!

[RAAAAIIIIN]

does the phone have a separate application for facebook chat? thanks

[jacksters1111]

Should I get an iPhone 4s or this phone?..... JK this phone is way better that the iPhone!!! This phone has 4g, a big screen, thinner than iPhone, and iPhone is over rated

[youplaymenot]

@jacksters1111 you tricked me lol i was like wow this guy is really thinking about it, my contracted ended and im tryna get this phone but damn 300 bucks

[jacksters1111]

Does this phone have gorilla glass

[majidk2]

@jacksters1111 yes, it has gorilla glass.

[gordanzzzz]

Why does mine have 800 Mb RAM ???

[Georgeosaurus]

Should I get this or stick with my current android and get a tablet??

[VQian1997]

I'm girl nd I like to wear skinny jeans, this phone obviously can't fit in my pocket.

[echtvergoldet]

@VQian1997 girls have bags.

[ileftthisblank]

im from irvine !!!!!

[danielarntzen99]

@quest8899 Thats true ;-)

[danielarntzen99]

@fernandobo009 It fits in mine :-)

[12345678915515]

how can we make it into a hot spot?

[fernandobo009]

this doesnt fit on my pocket.. ill stay with my sensation :s

[TheReplikah]

it does have handwriting recognition dude.

[Harry182182]

i was gonna get the transformer prime along with using my iphone, but now this phone is changing my mind.

[mayanksuchi]

get to the point dude you talk rubbish

[JayyJayyNiuga]

I threw money at the screen but nothing happend.

[aliwaqarhasan]

@JayyJayyNiuga i laughed out so loud when i read your comment :):):)

[Mtbfanro]

@JayyJayyNiuga i lold hard <3

[nightriders92]

@jon4lakers firstly i just love your reviews Jon!

i got my Note as soon as it came out on the 6th of december, and i just love everything about it ..and always prefer doin every task on the note instead of my iphone 4s

and for the battery life, u can get an extra two batteries plus battery charger for the note on ebay or amazon for $20 and then u can just switch the battery instead of havin to charge it like the iphone ...and please make sure u download " Go Launcher ex " n " memory booster "

[nightriders92]

@nightriders92

Go launcher ex " is wayyy better than the touchwiz and gives u smooth transitions n expirience ..and memory booster kills apps for u when not in use which is save a ton of battery for u n clear the ram on its own ...

[Surferbro74]

Damn, what a gargantuan HUGE beast !!!! I want one.

[mattman154]

Is there a way to take a screenshot without the pen?

[ccetdany]

@mattman154 Yes, pressing the power button and the "down" volume key at the same time :) Hope it helped!

[nightriders92]

@mattman154

yes there are two ways, clicking the physical button in the middle n holding it, then hitting ur power botton takes a screen shot

but the one that i like is cooler n easier, u just have to place your palm on the right end of the screen and swipe it towards the left, and it takes a screen shot whenever whenever ...and is pretty sick :P

[2969jayjay]

have yall heard about the samsung galaxy note l717? when is that coming out and how much is it???????????????????? plz respond

[danielarntzen99]

So coooool mobile ;) i want it so bad ;-)

[tjames20]

[nightriders92]

@tjames20 its a phoblet ;)

[KalJamal007]

Hey 1997natedogg thank you, i discovered the widget option yesterday and switched this one on. Thanks for the response. I dnt think the white one is on orange in the uk as mine is black. Best phone ever!

[ganxter23]

Hey, jon i have a question. when is this galaxy note coming to US and when it does what carriers will this phone be available on????????????????????????????­?????

[1997natedog101]

@1997natedog101 I meant *Skyrocket*

[1997natedog101]

@KalJamal007 That's Samsung's stock task manager, it was pre-installed on my white Samsung Galaxy S2 Skycrocket. :D

[amirdickey1]

@jon4lakers plz do a comparison of the note and 4s

[amirdickey1]

I wish it didn't have a stylus because i know I'll probably loose it

[KalJamal007]

Hi John, thanks for a brilliant review. I have my note and i love it! Can you please tell me what widget you are using on the home screen to monitor active applications?

[MrMystri]

When is this white version coming out?

[MAGNATAR76]

I have to get my hands on this !

[MAGNATAR76]

All phones should be this big

[0522979225]

@jon4lakers What is the name of the battery level indicator widget that you have at the top of the screen?

[sahildis1]

@AsianHideOut this phone looked like the iphone from the front with the one single physical button on the bottom and the white front

[suicidalxbox]

Android is just a copycat mobile OS built for cheapskates. Other than that, there isn't much else to be said about it. Vendors must vomit out about dozen Android smartphone models a month and nearly all are forgotten in a matter of weeks. Most are manufactured and go directly to landfill in months. The iPhone 3GS will probably still be used another year from now while hundreds of Android smartphone are born and die on the store shelves. Merely a waste of cheap plastic.

[DrEggbomb]

@suicidalxbox keep your thoughts and opinions to yourself because there are actually a select few of us such as myself that like to have that variety of phones to choose from as opposed to just a few iPhones. It's not a waste of plastic if there's a healthy variety to choose from. Also, I guarantee you that the iPhone 3GS isn't the one of the only phones that are used in the future; I know plenty of people that are still using Evos, Vibrants, and even the first droids. As will I.

[Lilswaggflu24]

the time doesnt move lol

[poligomm]

eh...

[SwatSniperMTC]

but will it blend?

[krunal467]

@SwatSniperMTC stop bieng a troll no one would blend such a nice phone!

[SwatSniperMTC]

@krunal467 and im getting this phone so how am i a troll? stupid people, *shaking my head*

[krunal467]

@SwatSniperMTC u idiot i told that no one would blend such a nice phon i dont give a shit if buy this phone or not *loading up my AK-47 to shoot you*!

[SwatSniperMTC]

@krunal467 haha ak-47 good one once you have one like my dad gave me you can talk shit. get with a better weapon than that? *loading up my 110 BA .338 to shoot you.

[PannkakorArGoda]

I´m a normal dude, so it fits in my pockets! Even my tighter pants...

[JungProduction]

Beats the iPhone 4S

[ferrarispider430]

the samsung is coming to verizon as the galaxy journal

[greenrolaids]

samsung has sold millions of these in europe.

So much for apple thinking that people dont want a large phone..lol

[StaySic4Ever]

Go go, release ICS to phones u said asap :)

[tamoc92]

is tmobile getting this too???

[pookietheparakeet]

@TechWizard0 No this is the international version which has the home button, most carrier versions use the capacitive buttons instead of the home button

[TheWonderfullChannel]

Any idea if this might come to Verizon by the beginning of March?

[TechWizard0]

Get back to me love techwizard0

[TechWizard0]

On AT&Ts website is shows the galaxy note with compasative buttons? Is this a prototype?

[ChopSooyLee]

Galaxy Note + Galaxy Nexus = Market Domination.

[JakeAndrewBullard]

25 people are apple fanboys

[Aramistho]

ur review so base on ur personal view...

[theAlvinTran]

I carry my phone in my back pocket. Will it fit, and can you sit down with it?

[isoballer12345]

do this vs samsung galaxy s2

[quest8899]

this is a mans phone, iPhone 4s is a girls phone
