Verizon Note 2 Pre-order, Release date, and speculation thread

Phone is awesome so far, but I hate how they did away with the continuous scrolling home screens like on the gs3.. looks like I'll be installing apex already.
 
I just got back from my local Verizon corporate store. I returned my S3 for the N2. They said they got 20 of each color. The non corporate stores probably got one or two.
 
Hi all,
Been following this thread for awhile now and finally picked up my white gn2 this morning at the local Verizon store. Been an iPhone user since the first one so this will be quite a change however I am looking forward to it. I wish I could spend some more time with it today, but unfortunately/fortunately I have a round of golf to get to in an hour :D. Just want to thank the forum members on here for all the insightful resources and tips!
Hope everyone enjoys their new toy!
cheers

Just take it golfing! :)

You will have time to play with it in the cart while your partner drives around the course. :)

Welcome. Other than my Google TV, this is my first Android device as I to have moved away from iPhone.

Don't know but I'm assuming Samsung. .. Also I think they did away with their calendar widget, which I used to love on the gs3

I was very disappointed that the calendar widget was not on board too. It was one of my favorite things on my S3. :(

@ Mix I know you said Verizon but I've got a Sprint Note 2 and it's there. In your post you called it Digital Clock. In the phone is called Clock Digital.

Hmmm where is that menu located? It seems like a different place than I was looking. I was looking in the app drawer widgets menu.
 
Mine got here about an hour ago. I am so smitten and overwhelmed. I love it. :D

It's amazing the things this phone already does that my iPhone 4s never had a chance in hell at doing. :P
 
Just got back to work with mine! dang work getting in the way of me playing with my new phone. this thing is sooooooo sweet. going to take forever to figure out how to use everything. anyone know how to permanently write on picture. I pull down the corner and can write but it doesnt apply it to the picture so i can send the picture with the writing on it to someone.
 
1:41 and still not delivered. I'm pretty sure I could have walked a block from my office and bought one during my lunch break, lol!

Ah well, anticipation is always good!

This is on Sprints Note 2. Why would Verizon remove a clock widget? Like everything else they probably have their own with a big V in the middle. :p
Ok....I couldn't resist that one.

Yeah, I sadly don't see that in my Widget bar. That blows, because I like that clock. Saw it on my cousins SG3 (or something similar). BLEH.

(Thankfully, I apparently bought Beautiful Widgets when I owned my Fascinate and can use them on my Note 2 - so at least I'll have clocks to choose from!)

Can't you just buy a vehicle dock from a third party store/different carrier?

Apparently that's what I'll need to do.

It's not like these devices are different in build.

I don't understand what you mean - the GN2 is different in every dimension from every other phone made, AFAIK. My Droid fit in it's car dock and desk stand perfectly. The car dock was incredibly secure and effortless to remove. If it had charging built-in, it would have been perfection. The Droid literally drops into the desktop dock with absolutely no effort (with built-in charging) and to remove it, you simply pick it up and go. I've seen other phones in universal docks... If you haven't had something that fit as well as the Droid with it's docks, then you wouldn't understand. Everything I've seen thus far is a step down.

But I'll see what I can find.
 
Google wallet installs!!!.... But doesnt work.. :( damn Verizon... getting sick of them crippling devices. no full screen calendar widget either.

AND no wireless charging Connection under the cover either!!! GRRRRRR
