Note2 specs are impressive I would have gone for Note 2 if it had
- iMessage
- Same quality camera as iPhone 5

For me spec nothing special. In built Feature yes very nice. Unfortunately, third party apps not many optimized for 5.5" screen

my friend say .. very fast note 2 ..

My friend told me that a Lamborghini Aventador is very fast too.

Welcome to the new generation of smartphones, where everything is fast. Even the first gen quad core phone, HoX is fast. As I've mentioned, quad core. -.-

yeah...im agreed with u..niceinfo..

what u mean? got black bars too? too pixelated?

Added on October 22, 2012, 11:57 ami don't think ip5 and note 2 is targetting different market. if u look at the "venn diagram", there are the "wanna ip5" group, "wanna note 2" group, and the overlap of these 2 is the "both are good for me" group. this thread is dedicated for the latter group. as for the poll, is just to see the sentiements of people's preferences. but i agree this poll is done at the wrong place. ts is either intellectually challenged, or just not geniune about his query. i am sure is the latter.

Its just like asking something at the wrong place.... If he make poll on kopitiam it would make sense.... But not here

I agree with you. I'm supporting apple all the time because Samsung apps build all is the same quality. Such as s3 with HD screen but the apps doesn't support HD what for we having a phone with such high resolution. And some phone screen big some screen small. Some apps will open only in a smaller view. But this doesn't happen in apple products. Besides, apple price will never drop, unlike Samsung.

Yea. My friend said iPhone 5 very fast too. So fast for what, moderate is more than enough. Your finger doesn't need the speed and your brain too.

already jump ship from iphone 4 to note 2, waiting too long for iphone 5 to arrive..plus im go for bigger screen..

i went to a phone shop and try out iphone 5. Look sleek, slim and light. My disappointment were:
1) Doesn't look impressive compare to my iphone4/note 2. No WOW factor.
2) Map is big failure, can't even search for bukit jalil. klcc is located at putrajaya. pavillion is located beside hospital serdang. fuhh. What map is it.
3) The screen itself is a big let down. Yellowish tint to the screen. Contrast/brightness not comparable to note 2.
4) Camera so so only compare to note 2 about the same.
5) OS. hahaha i4, i4s all same interface. Nothing special about it.

Those who would like to upgrade from 4 or 4s to 5 better think twice.

If I have the budget, I wont think a lot
Just grab de iPhone 5 FTW~

That shop sell copycat iphone 5. Muahahahahha

TBH, there's so much navigation apps available and Google Maps is also available to install in iOS6, would anyone take the phone just for the map? Note 2 is impressive for you just because of the HD screen. and iPhone 4 is impressive for you just because of the first new look for you? Apple provided 1-1 exchange for any factory faulty problems. The yellow tint isn't a big problem too it will dry itself as it is just the wet glue.

I agree on how the groups of prospective buyers can be, on how they do favor both. Adding not just upgrades, but also people who are switchers from other platforms prior (eg: Symbian), the group can be the biggest bunch compared to the other two. But then, I'm saying that the situation may have changed a lot this year. For the latter, an S3 is also thrown into the mix. This is due to that its display size is already of Note-class of the last years', and this is going to be the major bulletpoint being revisited time and again until they have a decision.

About your thought regarding the poll, I also tend to agree. The play becomes so repetitive, that I afraid lots of them are going forward to be kopitiam-class threads. Funnily enough, the players seem to be posting them with so much innocence. And of course by design, that attracts the not-so-unobvious trolls, mostly intentionally.

1) People say beauty is in the eye of beholder. But just for the sake of playing your game, I'd say Note 2 is just an elongated Note. No wow factor. (See what I did there?)

2) Lies. Pavilion is located correctly on the iOS 6 Maps.

3) Have fun with the not-so-non-Pentile screen of Note 2. Also, DisplayMate rates iPhone 5 screen as the best smartphone screen they've tested to date.

4) iPhone 5 camera comes with f/2.4 aperture compared to the f/2.6 on Note 2. There are differences, especially for low-light uses.

5) OS. Fast, functional, stable, apps compatibility & optimization. That's far important. I'm not going to lie, getting different interface is all the rage with me for my Android device last time. Finally I'm settled with its stock UI. Eventually you want everything to just works, right?

Those who wanna upgrade to Note 2 also better think twice. In fact, it's very smart and the best thing to do for everybody no matter for which platform. Evaluate your planned upgrade really thorough, and weigh your decision based on what you've researched.

Also, both devices got their own strength. Those what I've lined up above are just comments for the very inaccurate 5 points being listed prior. Not that I'm implying that the device itself doesn't have its own upper hand on other parts or inferior anyway. Just doing some correction btw.

busted.

you're right. think clearly if you're changing from apple to samsung and also samsung to apple. dont be regret after you bought it. apple products have high resell price, but not to samsung. no regret for samsung user.

Wow... Kinda funny to read on how obsessed are ppl with google maps... Not like u can't download it again on ur phone
N I can guarantee that most ppl who complain about google maps perhaps hv used google maps just a couple of times n some would have not even touch the app thnx to plenty of 3rd party app in App's Store...

also agree. recalls no intensive trolling on AppleByte when last time Nexus 7 and One series got launched here.

funny business nontheless.

It will not. There is alot of 1st timer ownership out there. Those already using 4 or 4s might not be tempted to i5. Those who are using 3g or 3gs might think about i5.

thought you said the i5 doesn't impress you. maps bla bla bla etc and you going for note 2 lol
