I was dead set to get the s3 in a few weeks but then I saw this thread and watched a few note 2 videos on YouTube. The thing looks amazing. I just have to wait until it comes out and hold it in my hand to see about the size. The do have a cool thing on it where it shifts the keyboard to one side so you can text with one hand. FYI to all of you who like to text like that. Mountie, what do you think about the size of the phone? Has there ever been a time where it's been a problem?

Never. Thing actually fits in my pocket better than an iPhone because of how thing it is and the shape of the back of it. I would recommend stopping by at&t next time you are near one and play around with it. They will let you do the pocket test and everything.

The Note 2 will probably be my next phone. I have a 4s now and am sick of iPhone falling further and further behind the curve. I'm intrigued with the One X+ but it looks like it may only be available on AT&T? If Verizon were to pick it up, I'd have to seriously think about it.

Isn't the Note only on AT&t? I know it was when I got mine.

I know the note isn't on US Cellular, but the 2 will be.

I think Verizon will finally pick it up. At least, I'm hoping so.

Both the Note and HTC One X were only available at AT&T and third party places like Best Buy. If Verizon gets the Note 2 and One X+ I think that's awesome. I hate phones being tied to one place.

Does everything every other phone does, except the unnecessary customization and it is a little slower than some.

It can use NFC to share contacts, videos, or web pages between phones? Or use NFC with something like Google Wallet that will let you swipe your phone at stores to pay for things without needing your credit cards?

Battery life is excellent, and the Note 2 has an even bigger battery.

Yea, that isn't confirmed specs. Nobody really knows anything yet on this phone. Hell, nobody even knows the real name of it.
