Default [Q] Is galaxy note actually worth, because...

hey y'all..
I currently own a nokia n96..it used ta be the bomb a few years back before android dived out of nowhere..
I am guna buy the gnote in 1st week of june..
I just am in luv wit it, but with the galaxy s3 coming on may 3rd.
Should i go for gnote monster, or order the samsung s3 when it comes..due to the quad core reason nd rumored 12MP camera.
Still i think that the gnotes screen and the upcoming special luxury ics update coming, it cud be betr.
But plz stil heeeelp.!

Frankly, I don't see why would one actually need a quad-core, except for heavy gaming. Note's dual-core is more than capable to deal with any tasks I can think of, and then some. Also, 8mpix picture quality is more than enough for photo amateurs.
OTOH, Note's screen experience is second to none. You can even run it in tablet mode if you wish.
Note's only drawback is that you won't be able to switch to small phones once you start to use it.
SGSII feels like Toys-R-Us to me now.

SCREEN! The Screen is amazing, and honestly after using it a while I can't use any other screen anymore. Once you used this since all other phones seems for me as they are wrong. Childish, I not understand how I used them all the years.

To the Galaxy S3, let's wait what we actually are getting. quad-core, well sounds great, but the Note is flying compared to anything I had in my hands so far. I am not saying I have no look to the S3, but still the Note is the business tool I use 24/7. I even retired my ipad. The size and weight of the Note is perfectly fitting my needs.

The only reason to go with Quad-Core S3 is that Note might be too big. If it's not - go for Note. Seriously, you won't use even 50% of this CPU, not now, probably not even in a year.

i have adw and its great. If you do your homework you can get stock rom to your liking without flashing custom rom. Just takes a lot of time. Also remeber to backup your settings in adw.

Well LG is coming out with a large screen phablet. And HTC seems to be working on one with one nice specs as well (1080p screen!) Who knows when they are hitting though.

as a note owner, I would say if you are going to make the jump, wait for the quad-core note to come out. Then go

if the quad-core note should ever come out.. im not going to jump to the bandwagon unless Sammy can compensate the battery performance of a quad-core device...

we all know what's going on in OneX forums.. their primary concerns are though they have a quad-core phone up on their sleeves... the battery is better left unsaid... it last for just hours, barely making it even a day...

If we have to wait for quad-core phones, Manufacturers like Sammy itself should make up their ante to put a battery that would match it's processing power.....
Cheers!

I'd say wait for the SIII then decide , I've used an SII and now the note ,they are both fine devices but the S2 felt that little more refined than the Note.

Samsung takes more care of it's S- flagships than other Galaxy members.

as for quad cores being not needed now ,true but what about the future?

all I'm saying is wait and see ,in the end they are both very high end devices .
