Getting a Galaxy note 2, still need a nexus 7?

[cmit37]

I have both the note 1 and nexus 7. I bought the note before the nexus and although the note is fantastic the battery life is poor if used as a tablet. I bought an extended battery with the larger back cover for it and it now works well in terms of battery life when used as a tablet but it is also twice the thickness.

Since buying the nexus I use the note a lot less as a tablet and now regret not getting a smaller phone. Also the only Android phone I will buy again will be a Nexus. Had the G1, Galaxy S and now the Note previously.

Hi are you a existing user of Note? The Note 2 has a bigger battery, 3100 mAh vs 2500 mAh. Would it address your concern enough? I am a bit concern about the weight, 180 g vs 112 g of Samsung Galaxy S2. Could you please share your comments as an actual user. Thanks!

I am also looking at Note 2 to see if I will replace my Galaxy S2 with it. I strongly believe Note 2 will replace lots of more functions of Nexus 7. I have exact question that what are left to Nexus 7? One thing I am sure to resolve is that MS Office. MS Surface Pro is my dream machine. Is 7" tablet a right form factor? I have no answer at the moment!

Yes I had the original ATT since launch and I loved it. I solved the battery issue by purchasing extra batteries but it just became a hassle carrying a lot accessories around with me. I do hope the larger battery in the note 2 will make a difference but I personally think it will be very marginal if that device is going to making phone calls and used for other tablet functions.

The Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 is a pretty good combo, GNex has nice large screen for choosing music or playing cut the rope on the bus, but for serious stuff I thether from my GNex to my N7. The whole system just works.

I can't even figure why would this be a discussion when the Nexus doesn't even have phone function.

I had the note, then switched to this combo ^^ as much as I loved the note I wouldn't part with my gnex & n7

Note2?
The next nexus phone together with the current nexus 7 will be an awesomely epic combo.
