I made up my mind. I will wait for iphone 5s. No point taking risk with a phone that has defect issue.

What if iPhone 5s also have problem. iPhone 6? I think all phone also have problem whether u can accept it or not. Nothing is perfect...

I wonder if Apple have resolved their infamous home button issue. And darn why can't Apple make home button replacing much more easier rather than having have to take out all the parts?

I thought the home button had resolve in 4s? Don't scare me... I'm using an iPhone 4 now. Don't wanna face back the same problem..

iPhone 4s > iPhone 5 = minor improvement bcos its the same design just longer.

iPhone 4s > Note 2 = very big improvement bcos its totally new OS, design and brand.

So now u all get the picture why everyone say changing from 4s to 5 is small changes? Bcos of the comparison partner. Everyone like new stuff. Base on customer satisfaction survey between iOS and Android, those who say "iPhone 5 is small changes I will go for note 2 this time" sooner there is big chances they are coming back.... tongue.gif

Btw just one more concern you guys need to take care of when choosing OS

This is an interesting video 50 reasons s3 > iphone 5

It's for s3, but the S3 feature is a subset of the note 2 so everything can apply.
For me I love reason 47 best. Btw, my I was searching for 50 reasons iphone 5 > s3 but i can't find any atm. I am not  bias.

No.3 the light notification for SMS, email etc I thought iPhone have it long ago. It's a flash light using camera flash.

No.30 offline reading. iPhone does have reader tab on safari right?

No.39 Double tap to top. iPhone got a better way so that's not an reason i guess... tongue.gif

And some other reason can be done using apps....

Ya Reason 47 is the one I've been dying wanna have it...

Everyone say new iPhone doesn't have new features while Samsung is adding new features to new phone. Does you guys realise that apple actually adding new features via the OS updates while android because not all model can upgrade to the latest OS that's why they need new features on their phones. iOS 6 didn't give u new features? Those Facebook & twitter intergration, passbook, new maps, Siri, iBook, photo sharing and so on. There 200 new features there. Try to google and find the list of new features on iOS 6.Some might not new to android but it's still new to apple user. And what's best 3GS onwards can enjoy the new features. Maybe not fully but at least more than half. We should feel glad of this. Imagine what if apple made some new features to new iPhone and not new iOS 6 just like Siri. Ppl will make noise and this is what happen to android or Samsung. Those S3 or note 2 features does the previous version got it?


Added on October 26, 2012, 11:27 amI does agree that iPhone 5, & iPad are
very dissapointing in terms of cosmetic. And I can predict even more ppl will jump ship if iPhone 5s is still the same design, longer or wider maybe. But I can
also predict that those jump ship will come
back soon due to they don't like android OS.

By pressing the button on S PEN u can simply cut the picture u wan and put in S NOTE , that really impress me and i can write whatever on it or making Note on it

As i say, different ppl got different need , choose to one u think suit u. I once again also think that Multiwindow might not useful (before i get my note2) , until today wow , i found that is really a great feature for me.

Let take as example : When I receive SMS from seller their Banking details when i doing online purchase , i can let the Message stay at upper , and open INTERNET to multitasking at below to open maybank2u , i can typing the account number without Swipe my screen , that really great  thumbup.gif

Don't know. I just don't feel safe to do banking stuff from a android phone if I owned one. Even my iPhone I also have to wait until I reach home using my own Home wifi only I will do. Those online bank that doesn't have any One Time Password don't ever think I will use them..

I'm a apple dying fans but recently I really cannot tahan with the launching of iPhone 5 date. Thanks to those after meal nothing to do fella who keep spreading fake rumor(karma is waiting you). Now I had switch to note 2. Seriously note 2 really not bad. They are not as lag as previous device anymore. I tried launch 19 apps behind and it still run quite smooth but of cos still lose to iOS. What I mean is the minor lag is still acceptable. I read somewhere google is teasing they doing a secret project call "BUTTER don't know what. I think they are working on the OS smoothness. The big screen was really really freaking cool especially when browsing and watching video. Now I see my friend 4 or 4s it looks like a toy for me. The battery is crazy si Beh kuat. I think is double of my iPhone 4 performance. the widget is something i like too. It's so damm convenience and looks cool. About the keyboard the swype and word prediction made my typing like Ferrari fast.

Now let me talk abt the bad side. After few days use I still haven't add my credit card detail into google playstore. Reason is due to THIS and this. I know android had catch up with AppStore but without credit card a lot apps you can't buy. If you talk abt black market it will lead you to even more expose to malware.. I just tried downloading asphalt end up the file downloaded broken and lead to virus infection. It keep on downloading an app for me automatically. Just tried once only this happen. So now I wanna download a very important app but I'm stuck. Wanna pay cannot. Black market download not dare. The battery life is good but don't forget u need to charge at least 2hr to get it full.NFC or S beam is nothing very special I think. It's something like Bump apps in AppStore only. Or maybe it can transfer to multiple ppl at one go not sure. I just tried once with my friend. 1 to 1 only. The size is quite bulky. This is defiantly not a one hand phone. It's very tiring if you keep on using one hand. The multi window or minimize video that those sales person always like to demo I don't find anything useful at the moment. The phone might be big but not until u can watch video and browse net at the same time I guess. The multitouch screen also no way can beat iPhone. Always get the wrong place I wanna tab on it. Oh one last thing a lot of ppl( including myself) keep complaining abt iTunes sync very complicated this and that but let me tell you actually iTunes is the best phone to pc sync. I google almost 1hr just to find way to sync note 2 > MacBook. And the result I get is Samsung Kies. This apps totally sucks. Launch it like forever won't load out. Very heavy program. Maybe bcos I'm using MacBook I don't know.

Guys and girls please don't forget this is just a phone. Regardless how good is this phone or how many cool features they have on it end of the day the most things u use is calling, messaging, FacebookING & browsing. As long as it can do these why bother so much. This why I'm jumping over to android to see what so good abt this OS. After switch I still can call, mesg, fb and browsing right? Btw my plan I think when iPhone 5 launch + the item not so hot I'll jump back. Probably 6mth down the road I guess. And news say Foxconn say they finally able to catch up with the sales. So don't give up... Ganbateh!!

Preciously a lot saying my comment are bias and towards fanboy comment. Now I had use both device do I still look so? Btw I'm posting this via iPad 2. When I reach home iPad is still my favorite gadget.

again repeated question?

how many of u here are switches ur iphone to note 2.....

i am still pretty much in dilemma....iphone 5, note 2, iphone 5 and note 2,
(currently 4s user)...

i wish to admit in advance i am not good in decision making, already understand how both phones work, features and etc....

just tht finding the very solid reason to convince myself to change my mind and leave apple.....

another question is will it be very weird holding an iPad with note 2?

anyway no offense to anyone if i did mention something improper here...

Bro I'm using Note 2, iPad and MacBook. Mine lagi weird la....haha! Just jump la. Now note 2 is selling 2299 I believe after 3 mth time the 2nd hand value is around 2k maybe. If you sell it and buy iPhone 5 RM2299 you just rugi 300 only ma. RM300 buy 3mth android experience Oklah I guess. I'm a digi user which my iPackage just expired. I call digi ask them to extend my contract to another year. So I still getting RM50 rebate per mth (RM88 for 138 package). 6mth later just jump to iPhone 5 contract and sell the note 2. If you do the calculation you won't lost a lot. Now im using ipackage and buy note 2 from SAMSUNG shop.And don't forgot u jump from iOS > Android > iOS. It's a big jumping experience... But actually note 2 is a very good phone. Who knows after jump u will stick to it.

nice review bro.
i understand ur feeling.
in the end you just want to use the phone for calling, smsing, watsapping & browsing.
thats the moment that u gonna miss ios because of its smoothness.

no offence to android user, but i also used both, galaxy nexus & 4s.
im buying nexus 4 soon & let see if this device can match ios smoothness.

Ya. But the smoothness porblem in Note 2 is really really very minor. At least for this 4days phone. Longer dont know. You will only see big difference when you try to Pinch the screen for zoom in zoom out and you rotate the phone.

It's there. You need to go into those apps setting and set the pop up notification. By default it was at notification bar only if not mistaken. Same like iPhone you need to set to preview your mesg as "Banner", "pop up" or non.

Don't blame the quality, you obviously just don't know how to take care of your phone. Look, it's pretty obvious judging by your picture. I bought a Note 1 in May 2012 and my device before tht was an iPhone 4, after moving to the Note 1 I realized, there is nothin better than an Android OS running on a Samsung, Apple just like to make lawsuits against Samsung making fake appeals to win sales in their home land. You know why? Because they themselves know tht Samsung was going to beat them straight in sales so they appealed for a lawsuit to ban sales of the Galaxy S3 there. All I'm saying is the quality is there, it's just the people who are tryin to hoax other people into thinking tht Samsung devices are worse than Apple's. iPhones keyboard was just to cramped up..typing was just basic crap on the iPhone, if ure talkin bout the iPad, the iPad is the best tablet in the world, tht I agree, I'm posting this using an iPad 2 and I've gotta say I've never regretted buying an iPad, as for wht I think, Apple makes the worst phone and the best tablet. That's wht I frankly think. As of now, I have sold my Note 1 and have moved on to the better Note 2, I was considering an iPhone 5, but realized I was gonna get bored of it as soon as I turned it on for the first time. iPhones are just to show others tht WoW! Look! I can slide to unlock, slide few other pages filled with apps and come back to my home screen and lock the device again. Note 2 has a much more fun, swipe anywhere I want feature tht comes with the sounds of rippling water...swipe through 7 home pages and go to an app drawer tht has many more pages and enjoy lockin the phone with more rippling water effect. For me, as of now, the Samsung Galaxy Note II is the best phone available in the market now. It's not a smartphone..it's more than tht..it's a geniusphone..and I'm proud to own one! All Hail Samsung!  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif

What you say was only on your opinion. I had bought a Note 2 but to be frank to you this phone was great but not a genius. Why do i say so? If you read back my post i always say abt Android security issues. Cos that really bother me from switching. Now that I had switch. The Malware attack was not as serious as I thought cos it's worst than I thought? Genius being attack by Virus? My phone keep on downloading an apk file for me and worst is i keep on receiving sms saying that the content i request can be downloaded here (they provide me a link) and charge me RM3. I thought it was once but it appear again this morning end up I had to call digi to bar this number. You may say I'm stupid for downloading apps from untrusted website but I came from iOS platform. That's why I'm letting my guard down. Ask urself and your friend how many of them had put up their credit card on the google wallet to purchase apps and ask same question here how many had add into appstore then you will see a clear big gap. Look at your note notification bar does it always appear a notification asking you to download this download that? My Note 2 hang and restart on the 3rd day. Again you may say I'm stupid again can use until hang & restart. Ya i admit cos I came from a smooth and stable OS so I never bother all these. But I have to admit combination of Jellybean and Note 2 had improve a lot but it doesnt made it become a genius phone. If you want more good thing abt iPhone compare to Note 2 I can write a few more. What I'm trying to say both are good device. I can see Android is moving up very fast while Apple might moving slowly or stagnant for some other ppl but both of them are still at more or less the same level. If apple still carry on this attitude they might end up like Nokia and Blackberry. Now they have restructure the top management and we will see what Ive can do for iOS 6... Cheers. Btw I'm a satisfied Note 2 user NOT proud! iPhone yes I'm proud!!! All Hail apple.... flex.gif
