this is why i am in dilemma in choosing my upcoming phone.
prefer to play with many custom roms but i9100 hard to get in market.

from previous nexus line, the custom rom for nexus is lesser than sgs series.
*
The thing is, I see a lot of Touchwiz based custom roms on the SGS (i9000) line each time I lurk around xda. Real AOSP based roms, not that many...... And I think we all agree that MIUI and CM are one of the best custom ROMs out there. And they support all the Nexus. As for the i9100, I think its (almost) impossible to find a NEW set in the market. So, that just nails down to the 2nd hang i9100, Note (Note and i9100 use similar hardware, shouldn't be too difficult to port; but better play wait and see approach if ur getting the Note just for custom roms) and the Galaxy Nexus.

EDIT: Take note, currently I do not use any Android phones, I used to use a Galaxy Ace, now using a Nokia phone.

same here. i never use any android phone but soon, will gv it a try. so now wanna see which one meets my need.

anyway, Gnote is a little too big in my pocket and hand.

was looking at sgs2 previously but i9100 no longer on sales and i9100g still not much custom rom.

so i will juz wait for the release of nexus and see how ppl comment on it.

anyway, my choice is either one of these 3 phones: Nexus, Note, i9100g.

I have the same phones in mind, but I thought about it.
Note way to huge, i saw somebody using it in a restaurant. I don't like the idea of that being a phone.
i9100G - Everyone owns a Galaxy S2, so you don't really stand out from the crowd, and like we know, not many custom toms. Also, the screen resolution is low if you compare with the Galaxy Nexus or Note.
Nexus - Balance of size, has ergonomics so it doesn't feel too huge in your hand, not much bigger than the S2, so it can still easily slip into your pocket, first to receive updates, developers are going to use this device. Pricing hopefully will be bellow the Note's MSRP. The Nexus S still costs a lot if you buy without a contract from Maxis. However, no external storage, luckily for me, I only use about 3GB of stuff for my music. So, shouldn't be an issue.

You have 13 GB usable storage for apps/files. The 13 GB is shared for apps and files unlike previous samsung android phones which had internal storage.

I got my non-G white SGSII less than a week ago. You had to buy AP set if you're really interested in non-G version.
Pros : tons of custom roms. Cons : warranty hussle

same as me. afraid the price for nexus too high then it will hold me back.
another disadvantage for nexus is lack of sdcard slot.
thinking of 32gb version but i think wont be available so soon, if it is, price should be around Gnote or higher.
i might afraid 13gb might run out soon for my usage.

futhermore, nexus dont built-in radio and the camera is 5 MP only.

if u look at the cutom rom list for galaxy s series and nexus series, u will find more custom rom list for galaxy s series. nexus do hv custom rom but just not as much as galaxy s series.

the major hold back for me to buy non G version is because i prefer 2 yrs warranty from samsung.

anyway, worst comes to worst. i will juz go for sgs2 either g or non g (if i managed to get any)

but anyhow, i will try to get either nexus or note.

note is good but juz that a bit too big
if samsung can come out with another smaller version of note like say 4.65 inch then it will be great.

all your post since beginning, indirectly tell us that your heart most go to first choice: SGSII. I guess not difficult to get non-g spec if you don't mind used set since it's launched not long ago. still dilemma? doh.gif among 3?

actually i do mind a used set blush.gif

initially was thinking of getting sgs2 but suddenly the non G version juz officially stop selling in MY.
and i dont see ppl developing many custom rom for G version so far and ppl do facing difficulty in rooting it.

and one more reason is that my sis juz got herself a sgs2 doh.gif and i do not want to have same phone as her. yawn.gif

so i try for alternative like note and nexus.

so your question can closed now.
Note too big for you then you should patiently wait for Nexus. end of story tongue.gif

many choice custom rom appear for certain model and less for nexus, doesn't meant good or bad.
we look for quality but not quantity brows.gif for example, if CM & MIUI promise for Nexus. IMO, already enough, forget for the rest of small player. Since you're in Nexus, you should expected how is the response is. else might try SGSII or Note thread.

I have a friend who bought the Note and also happen to play with one during the road show. From what I see, only when pinch to zoom in home screen lags, and also when browsing through the files in the note app lags, otherwise most of the time the phone is actually smooth. Also when there are too many background tasks going on the pen will have a slight delay.

That is what I said too.......... xD And most of the custom roms out there for non nexus are like Sense/Touchwiz modifications.... Which isn't really built from the AOSP (Android Open Source Project) source.

Agree with you. And proly due to larger display + reso (not sure if reso is a factor), it's just a tad, just slightly slower overall than the S2. UI wise. Like swiping quickly between, say, app tray screens. etc. From the roadshow/shop units I've meddled around with

Edit : while phantomash is talking bout actual lag, do note the points I mention is NOT lag. Just speed. Different =p

Easiest way. Use prepaid first to test whether the coverage is good at your area or not. Once you satisfied then only you port your postpaid number o_O

lol but now my maxis number is prepaid
i think buy 1 u mobile prepaid, satisfy then port
if not use 2 number, lolx

QUOTE(irenic @ Nov 30 2011, 02:42 AM)
just wanna share my experience based on one day usage:

1) face unlock is fine, as long as the environment is bright. and the angle of the face must be the same as when i first setup the face unlock. if these 2 elements are fulfilled, the phone will unlock in a second! but 99% of the time i have to use the pattern unlock.

2) battery usage is awesome. just 28% decrease in 9 hours and 31 mins. and that with moderate usage and live wallpaper on! sorry couldnt test it hard enough coz it's a loan phone and i dont want to cause havoc in the office that will lead to every single android fans in the office play and test the phone.

3)  voice recognition works well either in english or in malay, as long as i specify which language i wanna use and not set it to auto. and the internet connection must be fast and stable.

4) new market works amazingly fast on this ics unlike  my note and sgs2, where it's loading time is a bit slow.

5) picture quality is poor. it half the quality of sgs2 and notes and even poorer than my htc sensation.

6) somehow i wasnt able to play 720p and 1080p mp4 videos.. these video have no problem playing on sgs2, notes and sensation.

7) no usb mount storage is troublesome, at least for my usage. it can only use mtp like galaxy tab 10.1.

8) somehow usb mhl adapter for my sgs2 / note does not work for galaxy nexus.

9) whatsapp sometimes lose contacts. i have to keep on refresh the contact. i never experience this in my other androids, so maybe it just a compatibility issue between whatsapp and ics

I'm following this thread so if any of you find out when the Galaxy Nexus is on sale here, I'm gonna pounce. I really can't wait for this device.

I got to get some hands on time with the Galaxy Nexus at the Note World Tour in Jakarta when they have the Nexus on display. Check out my blog post about it here > http://www.winniekepala.com/2011/11/samsun...nexus-hands-on/

I really really like it.

PS. Samsung execs says that it will likely be an operator contract device and not sold commercially like the other Samsung phones. No idea on which operator yet. So we'll see, huh?

I'm most definitely certain it will be Maxis. If price is around the same as Note, that's not bad at all. Sigh.. I'm so tempted sweat.gif
