Hi all!

Been a lurker for a couple years and never registered. I'm still using my first smart phone (droid x) and the end of my two year contract came up a few weeks ago. My x has been a good phone but with wear and tear, I'm looking to upgrade to a newer device. Most of my family has the iPhone and they are really pushing for me to get the iPhone 5. I have an iPad 2 and like it a lot but I'm not a fan of the iPhone after having experienced the comparison between the x and their iPhones. I was a fan of the galaxy note but big red never got it and now I have the note 2 in my sights. If Verizon does pick up the note 2 then that would be my first choice with the s3 a close second. I've had some hands on with the s3 and like it a lot but I'm challenged visually and have big hands so a bigger phone would be optimal for me.

I'm looking forward to following the updates on the note 2 here and welcome any recommendations.

Welcome to DF tivo. Happy to see you join in. The Sg3 is a great phone. I am sure exactly what the status is for Verizon getting the note but I know a lot are hoping for the same. I actually just watched a review on the TV about the new iPhone 5. One thing the reporter mentioned was the inability to stream music from programs such as Pandora. That was surprising and would be a definite game stopper for me. I think it would be a tough transition coming from android. A friend of mine who is not tech savvy at all just switched to the iPhone. As little as she did in utilizing the full capacity of her android, she frequently complains about the various things she does not have in her iPhone that she had with her android. Definitely check out the new phones on the horizon.

Thanks for the reply!

Nice to feel welcomed

I too love pandora and have the app on my droid x along with my fios app. I was suspecting that there would be issues with the iphone on such things so I'l definately be going the android route.
Looks like if the note 2 comes to VZ then the soonest may be october but november may seem more realistic-who knows? I will be poking around here for sure to get the latest updates

Thanks again

Sincerely

Tivo

Hello, I am new to this site. I am also new to the smart phone world, I have a Razr Maxx and really do not know how to really use it. I can go online, text and call but that's really it. I know the phone can do tons of stuff, just have know clue how to do it. I found this site while searching for a solution to an irritating false notification problem.
Hoping to find a solution and browse around to find out more about my phone.
Thanks,
Kim

This is nowhere ready to compete with a windows mobile pro phone. Not even close. Typical hype.. it is a threat to an iphone but lets get real. Two days with it and I am still thinking of cancelling my vzw account.
No curser so typing this is guess work.
Cannot find apps to transition from wm6.1
Cannot find apps to manage blue tooth devices properly. Expensive stereo headset and car have no Obex controls. Cannot control phone media. Audio via bt garbled. No services via bt. Bt paired but not connected and will not connect without repairing. COME ON. Google are u serios? Did you beta test this stuff?

Have u ever heard of Ubuntu. That is the mark for non mac and non microsoft to hit.

Thed most damaging this this Pos has done to me, wasted my 600 contacts pim data. By uploading to google to sync here I lost the ability to edit my pim data locally and efficiently, wasted customer data like spouse, kids, birthdays, aniversaries, key notes and events (Like Outlook), cannot read my hundreds of notes or .pwi because there is no transition strategy in place.

I will play withit for a while and then go get my tilt.

For better cursor control try installing the Thumb Keyboard.
