Maybe LYN should add a "Trans" gender label

So did you get the Note 2 already?


==================================

Anyway, some news:


SanDisk releases world's fastest 64GB microSDXC card
http://www.androidcentral.com/sandisk-rele...-microsdxc-card


SanDisk has a new product in their popular line of microSD cards, the SanDisk Extreme microSDHC and microSDXC UHS-I cards. Designed for users who need fast storage for their smart phone, tablet or camera, the new microSD cards offer read and write speeds that are perfect for taking multi-shot high resolution pictures, as well as full HD high framerate video.

In SanDisk's testing, the 64GB model reached read speeds of 80MB/second, and write speeds of 50MB/second.

Not yet...still deciding...Mega 6.3 or Note 2...or hang on for Note 3....

Nikon also wanna join the gang

Everyone wants a piece of the pie.

spend the high effort just to have a taste of the pie?
Wonder how the marketing report actually fares out..

I'm sure you've been reading uncle benny's posts in the Mega thread. He makes sense, and if you don't play heavy games, Mega could be good for the screen SIZE, and a good price around 1300-1400.

But, Note 2 is now only 1600 or less, and having equivalent or better performance, with the S-Pen if you are into productivity and note taking.

Note 3 should be expected at least 2199 for starters of whatever variants that it will have.

if you absolutely can't wait to get a phone, then go for Galaxy Mega since it's cheaper and bigger
Reason: Note 2 will go obsolete come Nov'13 in Malaysia as by that time the Note 3 is expected to be released. So, by getting yourself a Mega, you won't feel the pinch so much since you paid cheaper and no direct replacement as the Note 3 is the successor of Note 2

Obsolete hardware is still every bit as functional as the new shiny..... I mean a Core 2 Duo is still as usable as a Core i3/i5 Ivy Bridge or Haswell unless you the need to play 100FPS for the latest games. My last PC lasted me 6 years before I did the upgrade.

Purely as a phone, there is no functional difference between a Nokia 3310 and the Note1/2/3

Hope there is a big display version as well, and waterproof, to punish the Togari. Sony need some serious punishment for omitting the led flash, there was no reason to be that stupid. It has given me a growing distaste for all Sony products, wishing all the best for note 3, may you crush the Togari and teach Sony a lesson about the obvious.

I totally agree, Z Ultra's lack of flashlight, haptic home buttons to maximize screen size aswell as no proper split screen multitasking along with battery to screen size ratio is no red hereing. I started out wanting to buy it but my hate for it grows. Things are shifting back to HTC T6 and Note.

So 5,99 inches is NOTE 3.... That means that 5,7 is NOTE 3 mini ??

seems like the 8 variants on the Note 3 may quite be true after all

Interesting article, although I do not agree with all the points

Editorial: Apple, Google and the failure of Android's open
http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/07/06/...failure-of-open

========
Extremely long article, but apart from the first couple of paragraphs, it seems the author is just taking too much of a stab at the definition of open = poor/fail and that Android users are cheapskates....

there is also rumors of 4 variants of Note 3
http://www.droid-life.com/2013/07/08/rumor...fferent-models/

The article link I provided speculated that 4 out of the 8 refer to US Carrier variants, so that will mean 4 models for International versions.

Similar to the current situation, where we don't care about US Carrier variants, and they don't care about our models.

We should expect LTE and non-LTE variants I supposed with these amount of variants
