note2 hands down ... tried a note 10.1 and the multitasking is like fuwohhh.... it gives the closest multitasking experience to a real desktop of any smartphone ...

Just wanna let you know the good news is that they are now using different bracketing on the home button for iPhone 5. Plus, self-repairing an iPhone 5 is now super easier than ever, even much easier to access the components compared to some other phones in the market. Replacing cracked screen will also become simpler, since its display assembly is the first part to be taken off in the teardown.

Check the teardown on ifixit and you'll be instantly tempted. Should be the easiest iPhone to repair DIY-style.

iP5 50 - 26 Note 2

The poll can tell what the choice.. Lolzz

If you want big screen and stylus the definitely note2 (or you like android). Else it's iphone5.

Take note that with big screen comes big problems. Hehe..I had a collegue who uses note1 said the big screen is a big problem when trying to take calls when driving or when hands are not so free. Too big for the pocket too. So he is now back with his iphone3gs waiting for iphone5.

It's true iphone5 was a disappointment in their design department but everything else is still apple. Good OS and simple to use and powerful enough for any apps you throw at it.

What else do you want on a phone?

Hence the poll is actually pointless.

So better the tered kolos, since this kind of tered potentially become another kopitiam or flamebaiting thread. Seriously.

for a bias poll, the note 2 is doing quite well actually. the s-pen is great for short notes.but sometimes is better just to use your fingers when taking short notes. to take long notes, than the tab 2 10.1 is the choice. but the huge screen is very attractive coz i am a multimedia junkie.

for the iphone 5, its a phone. if u looking for a phone feature above multimedia features, than its a no brainer.

NOKIA 3310......... period

The Note 1 should never be compared to the Note 2.

The Note 2 is much more easier to hold in the hand due to 16:9 screen ratio. Also, it's slimmer and lighter.

But still, I've seen a lot of girls using Note 1. I guess it's easy to keep in their handbags and girls like it 'big'.

bro...u should tell ur fren pls don't use phone while driving...its good to control those ppl don't follow the rule coz the phone really too big for driving...

Give me one samsung hp that have similar capabilities like iphone 5 or S3 with the size of iphone 5. Can find mehhh? Muahahahahahha

remember Bring your iphone 5 to Liquipel for Water proof treatment.. at http://www.liquipel.com

Malaysia branch is at Shah Alam..

how much for it??

u open a poll thread in iphone section?

of cos its samsung note2.
well, if u like android, big screen with stylus, drawing etc.

r u sure??
previously im android user but piss off with the OS thn change to iPhone, had 4, 4s n ipad 2.
im really proud to hv iOS device because of the best mobile OS.
but iPhone 5 really disappointed me alot n Galaxy note 2 do impress me.
i'm a heavy user on mobile device. multitasking in note 2 is really a good option.
2GB Ram i think is a minimum for android to run smooth but cant confirm can defeat iOS, i think at least can nearly on par.

so i think i will jump to Galaxy note 2, will wait for apple better product to impress me

that mean you are not an iDevice fan or you're not loyal enough i think.

erm...im only loyal to a GOOD device which can impress me in term of performance n function...

And until now, samseng cannot deliver the same powerfull with iphone 5 with the same size. They make it bigger bcoz they cant squeeze all innovation in smaller size. Not all prefer larger screen lor.

Hmm, maybe you need larger screen for your usage

But for me, since I used the iPhone ori back in 2006 or 07, I lost appetite to any other phone brand except iPhone
Since that, I only buy phone named "iPhone"..

The screen quite small, but what dya expect for portable easier mobility device??

Well, maybe the larger screen of Samsung's latest impresses you, but the latest Exynos SoC is such a letdown to me.

Even Apple A6 dualcore rivals the performance of quadcore chip in Exynos powering latest Galaxy series, and that's also while the iOS isn't as resource-hungry as Android. It's just a rehashed design based on Cortex A9 reference coupled with ARM Mali GPU that again just a reference design. Not only purely reference-based, but also a pretty ancient one since everybody else are gearing towards Cortex A15 or custom design that implements good attributes from A15. And oh, about the GPU, this year's Exynos Quad only rivalled the performance of the ones powering Apple A5, of which is more than 1.5 years older already.

About the memory, RAM alone isn't the determining factor for performance. Memory interface on the SoC plus the memory bandwidth itself is much faster on Apple A6 compared to Exynos 4 Quad. It's 8.5 GB/s vs 6.4 GB/s. What good the bigger memory gonna serve while it's on a much slower side? Yes, bigger RAM is also preferred along the speed increase, but Android platform gonna need that humongous RAM size a lot to begin with.

Based on some tidbits and numbers above, I'd say Note 2 can be somewhat disappointing to me. But then, both don't really exists in the same segment though. Both got their very own reason of existence, and both gonna do very well. So I'd say this poll is totally irrelevant.

And oh, before I leave, I'd say for this year, better go for Snapdragon S4 Krait-based devices if Android is your flag. Exynos 4 Quad does sounds like a very bad idea to start with. I mean, really really really bad. Ask those people on the Android thread and they'll also agree on that.

They make it bigger phone bcoz that the only way to beat iphone performance and need bigger battery.....Muahahahahaah......
