solid now for v1.0; appears to be platform for the future
This phablet is way too big to be a phone and too small to be a tablet. From others on this site, it's apparent that the N2 has some signal reception issues. While it comes in many colors, the body is very cheap looking. Even with a 3100mah battery, it barely lasts a day with heavy usage. I traded it in before my 30 grace period ended and bought the new Z10 instead.
Apple's retina display on the iPhone 5 is put to shame by the Z10. The Z10 is the ONLY smartphone on the market that has true multi-tasking (not that iOS or Android standby mode). According to many online publications, the Z10 has the best virtual keyboard. With the new firmware that was just released, the Z10 is one amazing phone. The work/personal set up essentially gives you two phones. Sure the Apps. are still in development but the Z10 will also sideload and run any Android app.
i think that nexus 4 the best smartphone 4.7insh screen is the best size
i use to have iphone that it couldnt stand with me a year im kind of a man that change his phone yearly but until now nothing comes that give me the idea (( hey you need to start looking )
Pros
- Screen 4.2 inch 1280x768 355 PPI
- Bb10 keyboard- heat sync adaptive typing best keyboard on the market by far
- Hub unified inbox - all communication in one place no open/closing apps
- Android side load apps - Have a ton already. (instagram ebay google maps whatsapp kindle) Jellybean support soon
- Battery great. 20-30% better after the update.
Fresh UI flow, peak, gestures
Cons - Needs a few OS tweaks and upgrades but will come soon in the 10.1 update coming this month (March) and future updates.
- App store isnt as robust as Apple app store/Google play store. Again you can get most of the apps you need via BB World/sideload
Summary Can't say enough good things about this phone. TRY IT yourself and you'll see how awesome this phone really is. My favourite phone by far and I've tried the note 2 and iPhone 5. You couldn't pay me to use anything else it just seems so old and dated OS/UI's. Great phone built from the ground up OS QNX BB10. Waiting for March 10.1 OS update and US Blackberry launch confirmed native and port releases : Skype instagram whatsapp et cetera.
i like this phone very much. its reliable and very fast...
Its a good all around phone with no compromise, except for the plastic made body (aesthetic-wise).
I have been using this device for 3 weeks now, I would truly say it is the future of mobile computing. Only lag is the App store which is still in nascent stage.
Overall a great expereince!!!
Top marks for the design and display and Hardware specs, samsung has to concentrate on the software side a bit.
Its something new on the market (The OS) and it starts off running catching up to IOS, Android and even kicking Rim to the side, i can't wait ti see what is to come
I used to be an iPhone user and quite simply I got bored of the same old thing. The Samsung Galaxy Note II offers more than I could list. You just have to take my word for it. I have had mine for 5 months now and still finding things I didn't realize it had. Awesome phone.
I switched the family plan to Sprint and we couldn't be happier. This LG is a monster!
Samsung has been innovative and pushed the limits with this wonderful phablet. I have large hands so a bigger screen with the latest a greatest specs is a huge plus. The multitasking features along with the stylus puts it above the all the other smartphones in my book. The 3100mah removable battery along with the power save feature is great. Have not had the phone die on me once since I bought it and I am a heavy data user. It really is the best phone for me. I can't wait to see how the Galaxy Note III will push the smartphone limits.
Forget Android and iOS. Blackberry 10 seriously rocks. And if this is what V1 looks like, just imagine how cool this device will be in a years time.
Been using my new Z10 for more than a week now. Its been a really surprisingly pleasant experience. I switched over from my old iPhone4. The Z10 helps me organize my communications really well. My typing is so much faster with the predictive words feature. The keyboard is nicely sized. I am making much fewer mistakes in typing compared to my old iPhone. As for apps, initially it wasn't great. Had some of the apps that I needed. However, after learning how to side load (which was easy) android apps, I have all the apps I need now. The android apps look surprisingly nice on the Z10.
a nice Display a good Reception a very good Battery Life an elegant Design
Don't let its big size fool you. There aren't too many things this phone can't do.
