Default Switch from Note to Nexus?

Like JB on Nexus 7. Miffed at Note updates. Anyone with note switched and wished they hadn't?
Is the screen disappointing compared to note?

I switched last week. Best technology-related decision I've made this decade. The Note was fine, but since I couldn't stand TouchWiz, I was running CM9 (which wasn't quite full-featured, as the pen wasn't fully supported). The GNex feels so much better in the hand -- and pocket.

I hardly notice a difference with screen quality or size by looking at it, though the slight shrink in keyboard size took some getting used to.

Oh, plus I was able to stuff some extra cash in my pocket in the trade, even though the Note and Nexus were the same price when I bought the Note.

I had the Note, but sold it months ago. I love the Nexus and ability to get latest updates. I feel the Note, Nexus and SIII screens are the same for the most part. Believe it or not I do feel my Nexus screen is a bit better and very slightly brighter compared to the SIII, despite GSMArena test result said otherwise.

Screens feel about the same as far as reading goes. Although I do miss my note...... having a phablet is like a privledge. Not a right. I might trade the nexus back for a note.


Yes it was tested on animals, didn't fit.

I dont think they do custom roms around here, this isnt Burger King

Thanks for the replies.

Are you guys happy enough with the camera downgrade?

I have a camera for camera stuff..... thus is a device for media consumption

I used to feel the same way about cell phone cameras and REAL cameras. But I have found that taking photos on the note is extremely handy. Hopefully it will be on the nexus as well.
