Samsung Galaxy Note I717 - User Reviews

  • Why is it that I can't use my soft key on SGH-i717

  • Ir blaster?

  • my mobile sghi717 do not update my software why ?

  • Can note i717 update higher than firmware 4.0.4?

  • Try getting a new i717 Battery. Also what android version are you on?

  • It is now 2017, and the phone is over 5 years old. I imagine it was quite cool when it first came out, but it was one of Samsung's first Android phones and the first NOTE they produced. I believe the phone has a lot bugs that needed correction in their newer models. By now, they have those bugs all worked out. I purchased my NOTE new & unlocked, but mine was affiliated with AT&T and they crammed it so full of useless non-removable apps. it left very little space to add anything I really wanted. It's almost impossible to go online or play/use any games or apps; it freezes continuously and at times it doesn't ring but voice messages are left. Right at this minute, it's been downloading something for the last 16 hours, and no matter what I do it won't stop. I reboot it, but it continues it's updating when I turn it back on. Even with WIFI turned off, it continues. When I can finally get it stopped, it will have nothing to show for it's behavior. As a general phone, I'd say it's performance is below average. Where your ear touches the screen, it turns the phone off in the middle of the conversation. I've spent most of the time using speaker phone to avoid cutting off my calls. The rest of the time I spend cleaning it out to free up the little space it still has. It's really a pain in the rear. Bottom line, I wouldn't purchase this phone today knowing what I know now. I bought it brand new, but the model had been in distribution for 3 years already. I had a lot to learn; NEW, doesn't necessarily mean "Good." It's obsolete in my opinion, and it shouldn't be on the market any longer. Rooting the phone may help it to work more smoothly, and it may be possible to keep it as a back-up for emergency calls, but for no other reason. There are many other phones available, cheaper than what they're selling this for today, and they have much better specs. Take your time and keep an eye out for sales at places like Best Buy. I just found a 2016 Motorola MOTO-G-Play, Refurbished and online at Best Buy for $99, w/ free 2-Day Shipping. The specs are more modern with much more Memory, Ram, and Internal Storage. It's not affiliated with a carrier, so it has ZERO Bloatware which will make a much better experience. Those saying their NOTE i717 works great, is more the exception than the rule.

  • my Samsung Galaxy Note I717 keeps going off and on and at the same time too freezing

  • I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy note I717, it no longer gives signal, it gets hot and the phone gets hot when it is turned on and off every 3 minutes and then automatically turns on ... what is the solution ?

  • where can i get the phone

  • I have just bought my samsung note 4g/ 1717 it is reallya good phone and hasa bright camera but the only problem am facing is not lasting battery.

  • Does this phone work without the back on??

  • u want a quick fix .. ok simple go and hit apk mirror web page type on your browser google play for note I717 and installed manually after you do that then try to access to it and you will have later version after that go ahead and simply download google play services . if still having issues accessing after installing google play then go to apps and clear cache and data and try again opening the app it should work .... I did it with my neighbors s2 device and worked. he was not even able to access market

  • the phone is nice but I have problem with the battery strength and right now it started freezing mostly when brightness is high .What should I do?

  • What rom are you running?

  • Whats rom are you running?

  • how to capture screen shot?i dont know how to make it...

  • i had to factory reset to get rid of that voice.

  • Replce the sim/sd-card reader. its a known issue.

  • My i717 will show no sim several times a week. Sucky battery life, slow. Bought this phone because my iPhone broke. I've save enough money to buy without a contract. iPhone is locked down, wall garden but it works for me. My work phone is Droid Maxx. Solid specs yet it also freezes on me weekly. When it works, it's a really good phone. Guessing Android OS is still "developing". I'm done wh being a test subject. Windows phone is good, camera s awesome.

  • My is telling me no sim card

  • my samsung galaxy note i717 is very slow and i dont konw what to do to get it runing smooth again. please help.

  • how do i root my phone resently got it

  • Rooted & installed TWRP, then bigfau's Black Star XI and mine is snappy and lag-less.

  • Mobile Data works great with the network it is designed for. Quincyatt versions work on AT&T and Cricket fine, streaming video et al.

  • I don't get the point. It says it is Edge and Gprs capable. it is not mobile data enough?

  • I like everything about the phone except it's slow nature when I launch an application. Any help to rectify that please? it sucks!

  • I just purchased the Galaxy Note i717. I was unaware that this phone was NOT mobile data, so I can only access the internet, email, etc. when I have a wifi connection. I guess there is no way around this?????

  • This has to do with Flash getting "dirty". Clean flash storage starts with all "11111..."s. Once it is written to data "1001101...", even it it is no longer needed, "0"s cannot be simply written back to "1"s. Valid data has to be moved to another available space, and the dirty block then has to be erase back to all "1111...". This is a very slow process and the old phone just gets slower and slower. Phone maker has no incentive in cleaning these dirty space since they want you to buy a new phone. PC was in the same situation. Finally Micradded a background garbage collection service called TRIM. Phones has no such utility.

  • You are probably running gingerbread (2.3) version of Android which does not support Google Play Store. Use Kies to upgrade your operating system to either Ice-cream-sandwich (Android 4.0) or jelly-bean(Android 4.1) and Play store should be there.

  • My at&t SGH1717 is slow, is it anything to do with the RAM? how do i solve the problem?

  • Um, I literally just bought this phone and it doesn't have the Google Play Store? It just has the market? Every time I go to google to download the Google Play Store it takes me straight to the Market??? Does anyone know how to fix this? I can't download half of the things I used to have on my phone.

  • might have it backwards, i did one time. take out and do a 180

  • How do I update this to ICS?

  • My samsung SGH 1717 isnt telling no sim card plssss what can i do?

  • Hey Sam just go to the play store and look for Tether apps find one thats works with this phone and always tether via that app and you will have no problems. It work for me

  • Seriosly,don't buy this phone. It has trouble with everything. After 2 years of use it brakes down,it restarts itself and the signal is off. Now i have to buy a new phone

  • Guys, i have a problem of connecting my devices through tethering for my AT&T Samsung SGH 1717 with computer, can anyone help me about requirement?

  • Guys, i am looking for a screen for my AT&T Samsung SGH 1717 can anyone help me?

  • the charging port is always a problem....it gets spoils almost every month..

  • This phone has a full sized SIM not a mini SIM

  • If you root your phone, you can remove bloatware with "Titanium backup and root".

  • i cant delete pictures on my phone i posted those pictures on google plus and i cant delete them again help plsss

  • DD for 2 years, great screen, battery drain (had to replace battery multiple times), charging port had to be replaced, build quality just not up to what it should be.

  • help, i bought used samsung note bt at time it on and off itself, what can i do?

I checked the volume inside but nothing happened. Now, I have to fix this problem by my own because I don't have any warranty. I would like to know where I can buy this speaker? Thank you

  • Would anyone be able to develop a ODIN-Flashable rom with all of the AT&T bloatware removed, including those that interfere with the hotspot etc? like there must be a few android native .apk files that can be in place of the .apk apps that AT&T installed as default and unremovable. I just want a samsung stock rom with NO AT&T software and the samsung touchwiz software. Not that hard.

  • I've had this phone and it's nice if you're not trying to win a spec war with anybody. With its large display size and inability to run complicated apps and games it would make a great phone for a senior or someone who just wants a large, simple phone. I would give it an overall 3.5/5 stars.

Download Odin3 v1.85 or above. 3. I strongly advice you also source out, download and install Samsung Kies, this will help install all required drivers into your system. 4. Carry out a Nandroid Backup. 5. Backup your phone. 6. Please backup your phone so as to be able to recover it if anything goes wrong. 7. Run Odin with Administrative privilege. 8. Shut the phone down to download mode, ie. hold down power key + volume down key, then press volume up key to proceed. 9. Connect the phone via a USB cord and wait until Odin finds your phone. 10. Click PDA button on Odin, then search for the Firmware you downloaded "KIES_HOME_I717UCMD3_I717ATTMD3_1117019_REV­02_user_low_ship.tar.md5" 11. Wait for Odin to check the file. 12. make sure your phone battery is fully charged. 13. Click start to proceed with the upgrade. 14. Leave the phone to upgrade, if all goes well, it can take over 20 minutes. 15. The phone is expected to reboot and Odin should show "PASS" 16. Proceed at your own risk

  • This phone works on t-mobile and is cheaper than the t-mobile version. It can also pick up t-mobile LTE if t-mobile has LTE in your area. It just needs to be unlocked to work. If t-mobile doesn't have LTE in your area you may need to flash a t-mobile modem.

  • its beautiful!!!!!! using since 9months now and everything is awesome with this phone.

  • I don't know if the operating system has anything to do with the battery life, but mine is awesome, the only thing I have to complain about, all the at&t crap that came preinstalled on the i717 with Android 4.0, I don't like constant nagging about automatic updates from your service provider, especially when they don't give you a choice in the matter, at&t ready2go really should have been a deletible app, I have never needed a computer to setup my ringtones and I will never need a computer to do that. Sorry I don't know how to keep it short. I don't comment unless I have something to comment about. Oh! And my i717 takes a normal size sim card, not a mini sim card like the specs said.

  • There is an international version, a att version (i717) and a TMobile version (t879)

  • Yes, one is the LTE version and then there's the standard Note, the difference is the processor and the LTE capability. The standard one is faster and better but doesn't have LTE while the LTE version (this one) isn't as fast (noticably but not extremely) but has LTE. i believe it has NFC abilites too. there is another, the N7005 which is essentially the same as the AT&T one but doesn't have the AT&T logo, sold in asian countries and lacks NFC capabilites

  • Hello everybody, I have one question and I hope someone will kindly answer it. I heard there are two versions for galaxy note in the U.S. One is AT&T and the other one has only Samsung logo. Is that true?

I use this for everything. definitely recommend it.

  • Great phone *Recommended Buy* i upgraded to ICS and no problems 6+ months and still love it

  • Yes you should but it:) I've been using mine for more than 3 months now and so far there is no problem. Not mentioning that I havent opened my laptop ever since I started using this phone unless otherwise for others jobs to do. Over all, its awesome! I have nothing wront to say against it:) For those who attempts to upgrade it to ICS, make sure you're doing the right thing, otherwise you'll be facing problems. I suggest you just leave it as it is. Study the phone properly and you'll be satisfied!:)

  • I agree do not upgrade to ICS. Ever since I upgraded I have been having problems....do not get text msg, do not get voicemail, phone blacks out all the time. Sometimes the incoming calls do not even show. Had this phone for 2 months and Im returning it. Att gave me an enormous credit so I can go back to an iphone which I have never had a problem with. The last two droids have given me nothing but problems.

  • My play store of galaxy note is not working. pls help me hoe i will get sollution of this problem.

  • should i buy this phone plzzzzz..... sugesst me

  • this is the north american version here is a link to the global version which is what you would get in Europe the galaxy note 2 was just announced and its info is here

  • i would realy b thank full if the cost if the mob is mentioned its always convinient 4 the users

  • i have the galaxy note, i got it for my birtday and its an amazing phone. i love it, and its my life. it has all the apps i need and i had the iphone before and truthfully, both of them are amazing phones, and both have battery problems because they run out alot. who cares? just charge it!! i reccomend this phone to anyone!! have fun with it:)

  • Can anybody tell me what is the call quality in 3G network in europe. I see the frequences are different. Does this affect on the speed, coverage, quality and etc.

  • can i purchase note i717 any body guide me

  • I've got the I717 and an iMac. What you have to do is disable the USB debugging from your phone. You should be able to connect to Kies perfectly fine. I had trouble at first, but via searching through google (for like an hour), I found this solution makes everything work out fine. Good luck, hope this helps. I717, best phone I ever had (and the iMac...awesome!)

  • thank you, i don't know if that was the way the spell sheesh, but i think chich lakay.

  • sounds like your sd card is going bad.

  • Love the i717......but. On my Mac with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion cannot connect to Samsung 'Kies' to download music etc. because Samsung does NOT yet have a driver for OS 10.8. Had the phone for 3 days. This morning for no apparent reason at all it went into "Emergency Phone Call" mode and will NOT allow me into the system at all even after shutting down, removing the battery. Still wants me to make an 'Emergency' phone call before allowing me into the opening menu. DUH.... back to the shop today..... may return it and get something that is actually compatible with a 'Mac' and works for more than 3 days without crapping up. Never had these problems with my iPhone.

  • This phone use to be amazing, until I upgraded it to ICS, I waited and waited for so long for the update to finally come out, and when it finally did came out, it did nothing but ruin my phone! it crashes a lot now, and the screen wont turn on sometimes, worst of all is the battery life, it will go through at least two full charges on a regular day. even if I don't use it at all the battery will still won't last a full day, it will die just from being on stand by, it's ridiculous!!! If you have happen to have a Galaxy note that it's still on Gingerbread DO NOT UPGRADE!!!

  • Have had this phone for 3 months...I also have a Blackberry, and will soon be chucking it away, in comparison this blows Balckberry out of the water...infact it blows any other phone out of the water....It has no comparison, it suits all my requirements, and although people say that it looks and feels big - Size Doesn`t Matter ! I`m extremely happy with this phone, the only issue is the battery life, but if you constantly have EDGE on then it is bound to drain out - Overall would recommend this phone to anyone who wants phone an tablet features rolled into one neat package.....

  • as acording to methis is nice.... bt i accept more

  • waiting for Tmobile bring it coming soon i cant wait to have it.

  • i love the Samsung Galaxy GT N7000 i think is the best fone i ever use. i got it for only i week but i am already fun for it. just that the battery dont last long but i was told if i turn it to GSM mode the battery would last much longer. i use to use Motorola Xoom but sold it for the GNote, i am not regreting it. Thx a lot to Samsung for the good work on Smartphone like theirs good for business men like myself. I am ICT contsultant and i do have mails i need to attend to which i love about the GNote.

  • Go to Settings - wireless networks - Mobile Networks - Network mode - Change to Gsm mode .

  • Noted with thanks but the indicated procedure does not give the options but remains on default setting.

  • just go to settings>wireless/network>mobile net>select wcdma/etc...just try... gudluck..#^_^

  • Can some one tell me how to set the note I717 to 2G (change in the default setting) in order to have an extended battery life

  • can any one tell me d diff btw note n7000 n i1717 ... .. i want to but not so wich shuld i but .... n will i1717 work in india ??? plzz guyzz do coment

  • one day i will get it one for my son

  • hi friends i want take phone but don't know which.. Samsung galaxy note N7000 or note i717 ???? Please someone tell me which is the best.?

  • is my dream phone i hope i get it in some day

  • will this phone work on wind and mobilicity for canada users?

  • Samsung Galaxy Note I717, is a very beautiful and attractive device with so many facilities. It is indeed a pocket pc.

  • i like this phone.camera quality is best and have lots appication which i like,,for this mob..

  • Worst phone Ive ever had media scanner runs for hours so you can't use the camera or look at your pictures Samsungs big fix is lets master reset it a real pain if you have to do it over and over

  • Galaxy note is the best mobile ever, it combines the smart phones with the tab's size and specifications It is a ubiquitous computer through pocket, it facilitates your whole work. I strongly recommend to buy a mobile life this one for business men..

  • Just a little totally unrelated side note on the note...anyone running android 2.3.6 still, try going to settings and where it says which androod version you are running, keep tapping it if you are running 2.3.6 and it will take you to a picture of a zombie gingerbread man beside the android and a bunch of zombies! It says picture by Jack Larsen...

  • hunter game is bad!!!!!

  • really good phone! especially for the huntibg game its wicked! if u get it get tge huntibg game!

  • yes the battery is the problem. Because kf its dual core processor battery runs out so fast specialy if you have forgotten to close aplications on the phone..hope they can improve it....

  • Im a galaxy note user. The phone is amazing with all the functional specs that can be used in daily tasks. Good for planning and bussines can also be used for student for taking note drawing sketching solving..i can say its all in one mobile and also very god for reading with its wide screen.. I already upgraded to ICS 4.O.1 but i dont recomend it to those who want to upgrade to ICS. Sticking to the original gingerbread is an advantage. But well if they can fix the bugz with the new ICS4 its still worth an upgrade,but not until they fixed it..ICS4.0.1, I dont recomend for galaxy note. :)

  • fall in love on this phone! elegant design & ideal specs. but i'm gonna buy the international version 'cos the brand logo is on top, not on the bellow! :D

  • t-mobile version is not coming on july 11th. it is been "delayed" till august 8th maybe? its not even confirmed. there is not even a official announcement for the phone yet. at&t will still be exclusive for the note and will probably get the official ics update before anyone gets their hands on the t-mobile note

  • You can learn to flash firmwares and get the roms on it that you want...complaining is going to do what?! Don't talk about your problem, go out and get it fixed! Or get someone to do it for you at the very least...sheesh.

  • When Is the Samsung Galaxy Note getting the Ics update for the At&t version? Because it really sucks that the T-Mobile Version is coming out in 6 days and will have the Ics straight out of the box and that's not fair. I think they should wait just like the rest of us at the back of the line and let the originals get the up-dates first. I mean haven't we waited long enough Samsung!

  • its a very good fone, which replaced my laptop on business trips :) i dnt bother carrying the bulky laptop to chek emails and be in tuch with ppl :)

  • Battery life was an issue since Use this more than my laptop. I bought an extended battery and it now works like a charm, I recommend to buy a battery for every heavy user.

  • This phone like any other Samsung Galaxy model has an echo problem when receiving a call. The only solution at this point is to use a headset/headphone in order to eliminate such echo. Quite a hassle for incoming calls which must be answered immediately. Furthermore, S'Note (N7000) is better since it has a radio and it runs distinctively faster against I717.

  • this phone is perfect you will love it!!!!!!

  • All samsung smart phones not having long time battry life with in haf hr its need to be charge

  • N7000 looks better...as it has FM radio, and NFC.... N7000 => 1.5 GHz, I717 => 1.4 GHz, thats doesn't make any difference

  • an excellent machine but a user like me isnt really happy with the battery timing! any solution for a longer battery timing will be much appreciated.

  • It is very good. Get one, you will not be sorry.

  • the samsung galaxy note is a very good phone it is a large screen 3g speed is a very fast but battery is very bad hd video recording is good and live tv in all chanlees is 3g speed front camera is good

  • Yes, reading the description it looks like it is a powerful phone for business solution but, regular use: couple websites, 5 minutes of google maps, some phone calls and sync, is only enough for 10AM-18AM. It is not what I have expected and the samsung repair service says its ok and there is no defect...

  • wowwwwww wat a performance ,really it is good one for every businessman

  • when Note 2 coming out? Which is better? N7000 or I717

  • hi my name is daved my cusine had gone to canada it in the canada the samsung galaxy note is cheaper than in my country i want to say to me i will say to my cusine to buy it for me or not pleeeese answer me very quik if it is a bad good very good birrliant mobile

  • ahmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm samsung note

  • After using this phone for 3 weeks I can't say anything but nice phone. but who ever did it, I am sure he never did a phone before: Why on earth would anyone put the on/off button on the side of the device instead of the top like all the devices? Each time you press the volume button you end up pressing the on/off button and vice versa.Believe me it's very frustrating to use. Still there is a problem with the screen under the sun where you can see nothing at all and need to guess. Beside that the big screen is amazing and if anyone thinks that it's too big and doesn't fir in your pocket you are wrong. It's good for reading and for your pocket.

  • Cause it has a faster GPU...

  • Why is the Exynos chipset beter?

  • wondering when is Note2 coming out? should i get this or wait...

  • Sony Xperia S and Smasung Galaxy Note which one is better?

  • The N7000 is the international version of the Galaxy Note it has the Dual-core 1.4 GHz ARM Cortex-A9 on the Exynos chipset made by Samsung which is a better CPU than its I717 counterpart but the Exynos chipset lacks the hardware ability to get LTE wireless speeds. The I717 is the "US" version that runs the Dual-core 1.5 GHz Scorpion on the Qualcomm MSM8660 Snapdragon chipset which supports LTE connection capabilities. You give some and you take some between the two...

  • which one is better ?! Samsung Galaxy Note I717 or Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 ?

  • yes internet radio

  • Hi i have one question.in the Internet Browser there is a forward und backwards button.i find that very usefull.but in the android 4.0 update it vanished. So is it really vanished or man you undo it in the settings .

  • Hello can anyone tell me if Galaxy Note has image stabilization when taking video??

  • its on playstore for about £3

  • Where i can find GTA III ?

  • One of the greatest phone i have! Waiting for the official release of ICS for a long time though..

  • Make sure your SIM card is LTE compatible. Take out your SIM and look at it as it should have LTE stamped on it if it is compatible. If not, go to your carrier and mention you would like to use the LTE service and they will be able to upgrade your SIM Card.

  • Hello, I recently purchased the Galaxy Note Lte, and I am in a region where there is for sure Lte service (Mississauga, Ont., Canada). But my Note is not picking up Lte, and I have been side by side with another Note user on the same carrier (and yes it is set to auto recieve for Lte). Any ideas? Thank you.

  • If the handset is not with the Music Track Id than the downloading of Apps will be install

  • This thing is awesome! Got this beauty in Ceramic White. Screen is great and although first impressions would seem the phone is a bit on the large side, it's at the limit for making calls and does'nt seem that big after getting used to it. I will say that the Note is not really ideal for one handed use (unless you have large hands). Games like GTA III and Asphalt 6 play and look outstanding and the Dual Core handles them with no problems.

  • Track id apps like shazam can be downloaded from the market/google play.

  • Just look at the picture resolution 800*1280 with 285 ppi pixel density. The best in class. Outstanding and Amazing. Better than IPhone 4s

  • no Radio no TrackID music no Sweep Panorama.... whyyyy??? is there any chance to get them by applications??

  • I would like to know the quality of the sound when playing through earphones or without them and does this phone have a good camera picture at day and night?

  • hi guys, this handset was so good runnning and we are ussing apple 4s but galaxy is to advance apple so buy it guys

  • is this handset can last up to 2days continues call and txt... like blackberry it last for about 10hrs using.

  • are you fixed?

  • Galaxy note fixed and safe?

  • Its very good idea

  • Im from iran note is good but big size!Sorry im not good speak english

  • hi i am Patel Irfan Ayyub from london . to know u that i like the sumsang note an i like to use that phone.

  • The 1.4 dual core exynos with 400mali is for the N700 international version, the US LTE version has a snapdragon 1.5 cpu with two cores with the adreno 220 ( a rather old GPU). samsung hasn't relased the ICS for the note, but is oficial that it will in this year, posibly in june/july so it doesn't canibalize the S3 release this month (may 3 in england and somewhere in the near future for the rest of us) i totally choose the HSDPA version over the LTE one

  • You from the Future? because as of today, we still don't have "Official" ICS for the note. The Leak is not. only the international has 1.4ghz. So, hows the future looks like? When will the Note 2 release? LOL....

  • gsmarena, i think the processor is 1.4GHz Dual Core Processor not 1.5GHz the info is wrong.. thanks... why this only android 2.3? not 4.0?

  • If u didn't notice that, this phone is the newest Galaxy Tab, or the newest model of Galaxy Note... WTF??? IS HUGE :|! Is U G L Y!!! Too bad of his technical specs...

  • why donsnt it have the ICS update, when will it come out?

  • awsm cellphone problemwith portability!! due to its bigger size!! nyc picture quality but paying 30000 is worth!!

  • this phone is very amazing.. i am enjoying it a lot..

  • hahahahahahweeeeeeeeeeeee. Nice try!

  • Hi all, Can any one pls help me, my phone LTE doesnt show sender's number. Can anyone advise of how to do to show sender's nunber? Thanks.

  • Check out the problem with the speakers on Samsung phones before you buy the NOTE. I know 3 other Samsung owners who have the same problems and do GOOGLE to confirm that this does exist. My office uses iPhones and have no problems; I should have got one too. Apparently Samsung is in denial about this and I'm calling Samsung directly on 4-30. Report will be posted here later this week.

  • i bought this phone about a month ago. its amazing. the only thing is that it will make other phones feel small and cheap but either than that it has not let me down.

  • Hi Guys, Would be buying this one (Samsung Galaxy Note 1717) tomorrow...still have time to change mind...is it a good buy or a big no no?? :) thanks a lot. :)

  • Maybe Bun should check his facts....most innovative technologies come from samsung..tell me do you own an apple or HTC or Nokia, fridge/lcd tv/ plasma tv/and the list goes on.No why because samsung is an industry leader in all those fields as well as mobiles. So before putting down a product ..know the facts.

  • Now I realize why the note I tried at bestbuy was so laggy (despite the international version being so smooth), att went with qualcom instead of the exynos 1.4 ...lame

  • Hii...:-).. It happen because its set on evry touch screen hp... Safety mode.. Cause if u calling your fren an the screen is active.. Maybe touching wrong button.. And call end..

  • samsung is a copy of all good quality mobile companies...its main advantage is charge capacity there is nothing other than that..so prefer to buy sony or some other better mobiles.....

  • Hi Guys, I am having an issue with my GNote. When i turn on the speaker to talk, the mobile goes into sleep mode, and no any buttons work. I try to make it active but it does not work. Only the call disconnect/switch off button works. Do you know how to make it work? anyone else has experienced this issue. Plz let me know. Thanks

  • Even, i too have been trying to find out if 1717 is available in india by when ?

  • I'm with you. I had an HTC EVO (the original) which definitely had Gorilla Glass, almost no scratches in 2 years. This phone scratches MUCH more easily, and I've also never seen any direct marketing material indicating it HAS Gorilla Glass, so I'm 99.5% sure it does NOT. Yeah, a screen protector is helpful, and pretty much required, but they are annoying because most scratch very easily too, so you're always dealing with scratches. Its just that with a protector, at least you can peal it off to get rid of them, and then start over with a new protector (not so easy to apply with a screen this big, he he he :) ).

  • They forgot to add the radio :(

  • If the phone does not rotate, you can hold it at steady and move around. :) robert Lichota

  • Well I heard they have the colour pink in Germany :) Which is my fav colour !! :D Oh and where can you buy these phone Perth W.A ?? ( AUSTRALIA) PLEASE answer my question cos I despretly Want that phone :P and btw, do u know an online where you can buy it for really cheap like 100 bucks or something? Kthanks for reading ! ;]

  • Hi All, I am a new user of the LTE. Obviously, when I received incoming sms it doesn't show the sender phone number?? I am now in a position of don't who is sending me sms? Please any one can help? How to make incoming sms show the sender number? Many thanks, SK007

  • Can it be upgraded from 2.3(gingerbread) to 4.0 (ice cream sandwish)

  • you could buy a screen protector but the gorilla glass is the most sturdy material on the market for smart phones today. the scratch is probably just an indent sorry if this isn't helpful :)

  • I wish a phn have same features with 4.5 inches nt more than that,.....although we hve sgs2 bt it have its landscape rotate probs

  • I have this phone, I question whether it is Gorilla glass....my SGSII did not get a scratch in 1 year....had 2 in 2 weeks.

  • I am not so keen on the LTE and I am not sure how big percentage of users need it, but I think that not many. Robert Lichota

  • It works in Cairo.. So I think you're good.as long as you aren't on a AWS network like Tmobile

  • I have seen this phone work on Airtel netwok in Nigeris

  • does it come with IRIS loaded ?

  • Does this AT&T version work in the other part of the world? I am from the UK and very interested in getting one of these AT&T versions.

  • is this mobile locked for at&t only or i can use it on any other network in any other country?

  • Does anyone know when we should expect update to ICS for Note 1717 in Canada ? So exited !!!

  • ..Hi peeps, How can you set a mp3 to a sms notification tone? I would really like to know. Thanx in advance.

  • for you its easy to used but you cannot please other to liked what you like..respect other opinions..hahaha.some small hands not comfortable w/ SGN. even it has hand free speaker features you cannot text or even used the phone in one hand! i preffered to used s2 or iphone4s..=D

  • Flash games like the ones on Facebook can be played like you are running on dial up. Get a laptop for that. Not a reason to spend that money on a phone of this calibre.

  • how to set a voice recording as ringtone ?

  • Hey can we play facebook games like cityville, farmville, cafeworld, castleville, etc on this...... Please pls reply for this. i m very adicted to these games.... n i want a tablet where i can play all these..... Please reply............

  • yes yo can do skype ; but google talk (video) works better ;)

  • Can we do skype video calling on Samsung Galaxy note1717?

  • The note is not available in white in Canada as of yet. The only provider that does carry the device in white is AT&T... I am with Rogers, would anyone know if it is going to be released in Canada and if so when?

  • Is it available now or if not when it will be expected

  • It's already here ... Check at Bell mobility !

  • does anyone know if the white Samsung galaxy note will b coming to Canada?

  • Yes sisi, you can unlock/root a gnote. The guys at xda developers just got the 3g+ working last week. Before you could only get edge data on tmousa network. From what I hear though, it isn't a 100% for some people or can be a little quirky at times, but hey, given a little more time...

  • i heard that note will not be in t mobile but can an unlock phone uses it?

  • HI fellow note users.. its so disappointing that we dont get headphones with this awsome phone. SO, can anyone tell me which headphones will be best to use with this mobile.. Plz share ur exp.. Thanks,

  • Is the white one coming to Canada anytime soon?

  • Yes

  • Yes Trex this is normal and you werent cheated. All that used RAM the 500+ you spoke of is all the preloaded apps and extras that carriers and device manufactures put on there running in the background. The 200+ that doesnt show up i believe is reserved for OS and kernel stuff... Dont let the 200 or so of free memory discourage you either. This isnt like a windows desktop OS, that as less memory is available, performance suffers. Android handles and use memory completely differently than you might be used to if you have only used windows OS. If you want more memory try a custom rom from a site like XDA that has all the bloatware removed. Most ROM devs remove as many unnecessary apps and services they can to increase all available memory. And trust me 200mb of free memory is still a good amount. Most apps only use a few megabytes to run anyway so unless you run an additional 30 or more apps simultaneously I wouldnt worry about it. Oh yeah Andriod auto closes un/least used background apps if needs to free up more memory on demand so... youre all good

  • For those of you concerned that the phone is too big just to check for simple notifications, buy the Sony Smartwatch to complement your big display phone that can stay in your pocket or bag or glovebox.

  • does it have a video calling via skype?

  • yep, I was feeling that way to ! and its my second gnote from rogers, lite bug whit the spen !

  • Does anyone have problem with the screen, mine become realy hot on top when i use internet or played games?

  • Are you crazy what about buying yourself a bluethooth device?? And why answer a phone call while driving are you nuts or somethng? And btw i own a galaxy note phone and i don't have any problems with the size of the phone

  • first off you shouldn't be talking on the phone and driving at the same time. Secondly there is voice calling on it so it's seems more like user error rather than bashing the phone.

  • I used this Galaxy Note for a week or so, and its surely having good and competent features. But the problem is that its becoming too big and especially while driving my Car, when i need to make emergency calls with one hand, it becomes quite uncomfortable... I feel that this is more like a tablet than a phone... So I just sold it out and bought a new iPhone4s.. Guys, note that my hand is smaller than the average size, so maybe it became a personal problem for me.. But, you can cross-check the Galaxy Note size and try to use the phone with one hand.. If you really think that your hand is big enough for the phone, just go for it.. otherwise, opt for S2 or iPhone4s...

  • hi mehul

  • yes it is amaging....

  • I bought this phone in Canada with Rogers and I realy like it. What I do not understand is. The spec says 1gb of ram but the phone says 732mb and 522 is already in use. Is this typical of all ram on cell phones? I feel cheated and am not sure if I should return it. Usually 1 gb mean 1024 mb

  • I bought Galaxy Note in December & my battery life is only 6-7 hours on medium usage since then. Earlier i thought it would be because of the heavy screen and all until i came across a friends handset which is giving him 17-22 hours on same usage. I tried contacting the service center & the manager there is trying to convince me that the Note has only 2 hours of battery back up. This is shit! Is there an online website or email address where i can email samsung about the condition of my phone & poor performance by the customer care people here? Please help! :(

  • Yes you can. It works well. I am using it on my note

  • you out of your mind?? Of course not!

  • On my galaxy note social hub app my link in user name that end with. net refused to register. But my facebook entered sucessfully. what shd I do to make it up?

  • I have Galaxy Note & I'm very happy with it. IS NOT BIG. IT IS GREAT. Buy't whiteout fear. The best phone in the world in this moment.

  • Samsung has brought the revolution in the smartfone market... Keep it up Samsung..

  • Wht hs the EDGE, GPRS class of it? Why it hv no SD card included? Is ths class 12 in both like Galaxy Note?

  • china

  • why it doesn't have 4.0(ics)

  • plz i want to know where it's made in?

  • Its much better than ipad and another tablets its beat the iphones

  • It's all cool except one thing, which is when picking up a call, people can't hear you properly. It echos a lot...Is it juz mine that's doing this or everone?

  • Good job! Samsung go ahead!!! I own a Galaxy Note, after I hade a Galaxy S2, and the Note is an masterpice! Someone ask if it is note to big? No defenitly not is just perfect!

  • It fits in pocket, just one hand operation is not possible. Must buy it you will never regret why you never purchased tablet.

  • simple answer.Galaxy note os the best one out there.i own one and i think its the best phone out there rightnow:)so u get urself one:)

  • Missing inforation: -Dual-core 1.4Ghz Exynos processor or a 1.5 Ghz Snapdragon S3 processor (AT&T, SK Telecom, KT Corporation, LG U+) -8-megapixel main camera that can record 1080p video, -2-megapixel front-facing camera -Quad-band HSPA+ 21Mbps 850/900/1900/2100 mobile network support.

  • Samsung, are you listening? Good, give us a Breather Light!! Giving up old smartphones are a pain when we've basked in the comfort of using a phone with a dedicated LED for notifications. You can walk through the room with the phone on the bed or two desks away, and still pick up the flashing with peripheral vision. Those of us that are not unemployed and are really stressed for time, can't dedicate one arm just to check for incoming mail or messages. A dumb brick unless pinched. The NOLed app on the old Note switches on a part of the massive screen to compensate for this shortcoming, which is a huge waste of battery. Fix this and you have a winner, (not that it already isn't).

  • You can always to call from a payphone and avoid a problem of phone selection. Imagine how much time and energy you are going to save.

  • Us CDMA phones are incompatible with UK networks this is a GSM phone that is completely compatible with UK 2g and 3g networks but would have to be carrier unlocked.

  • International phones uses sim card... High end phones uses sim in both USA, UK or any part of developed world.

  • You won't really be "upgrading". The processor will slightly lower the bench mark speed, it has no fm radio, and no screen mode options to control the color saturations. LTE is not so available everywhere and drains more power, although that's a nifty option to have. I like the light buttons though as they won't wear out as the physical button in the long run.

  • Plz help me out I hv to buy a phone bt i m cnfuse btwen samsung galaxy note and sensation xl and apple iphöne 4s

  • it for LTE dude..not for gsm...in malaysia we dont have LTE......we only have SG note 7000 only.Internationa....

  • how's the battery life on this? I've been using N7000 version and will like to upgrade to this. but i've been using Qcell battery at Amazonthat was for N7000 and don't want to waste it, will it work with this i717? Thanks

  • When is it coming to india??

  • can we upgrade it to Android 4.0?

  • by april 2012

  • can any one tell me weather i717 is having FM radio or not

  • It won't work. US phones are totally incompatible with UK networks. They don't have sim card slots for a start.

  • It is coming to UK after Holi...

  • but its in different series dude.. galaxy note for international is GT N7000 and this one is i717, totally different.. will it be sell into international like indonesia? or just USA?? thanks

  • I have been using the Galaxy Note for over to months now. The battery lasts the whole day (6am to 10pm) with frequent use throughout the day. The Touchwiz software is only slightly annoying (not like my old Omnia 2) and I hope to get ICS soon. The build quality is impressive, I dropped the phone onto concrete from about 1 metre. It survived unscathed. I find the size perfect, the screen is big enough to feel like a tablet but the size is small enough to put into my back pocket and ride my motorcycle. PS: When i send an email it has a STUPID message about sending from a Galaxy Note. Really Samsung?

  • LTE class 17 - very clear, but 1700/2100 is not, is it class 10 or 4 of AWS, or are they 1700 class 9 and 2100 class 1?

  • Did anyone have any idea, when this Galaxy Note I717 will be release in the Philippines? Thanks!

  • I've had a hands on experience with this one. It works like a charm and the screen really is huge (makes an iphone look very very small). I didn't buy it though because you obviously need a purse to carry it.

  • i prefer SGN 1717 as it is diffrent from SGN model n it has a lot of features. i prefer u to buy SGN 1717

  • What Sync software can be used to sync this device with MS Outlook?

  • The difference is North America version has lte technology

  • is the samsung galaxy note I717 not coming to malaysia ? i never mean the galaxy note N7000,but the I717,i have search for it everywhere,but i cannot found it.

  • I have confirmation mine is on the truck to be delivered by 3pm today the 17th. I really hope it lives up to the hype. I've been waiting for a hybrid for over a year. It's the perfect fit for "working" outside the office.

  • any body know if this device supported with Arabic language if i buy it from Canada?

  • Hi, I have a question about this version as against the international version as I am based in the UK. I think I am going to get the US unlocked version once it goes on sale after 19th Feb, but I need to know if it will be okay to work on my T Mobile UK network which is 3G.I also hope updates will work well too ?????

  • Anyone get shipping confirmation? My web page says on or before 2/17... latest email says around 2/17 (but still backordered). What happened to getting the unit before it goes live at retail on 2/19? They slammed Apple saying no standing in long lines. Is this a ploy to get us to cancel our $18 pre-order upgrade and pay the new $36 upgrade fee at the store?

  • The i717 lacks the 3 screen mode options in the paintball Note, and therefore has a fixed screen colored saturation rendering. I do love the fact that the i717 has no front physical button that can wear out someday.

  • Indonesia already has the international version of this.

  • is there any price different for SGN1717 and SGN..bcoz i see this two type of galaxy notes have slightly diff spect...any coment?which ones is better guy?

  • when it will update to android 4.0 version??

  • is this phone just for AT&T ? can this phone used in Indonesia?

  • When will it be available in UAE ????

  • you joking act the size right?

  • The Difference between Galaxy Note and Galaxy Note I717 is the Chipset used, Galaxy note is Exynos 4210 Dual Core 1.4GHz with Mali400 GPU, and Galaxy Note I717 is Qualcomm MSM8660 Dual Core 1.5GHz with Adreno 220 GPU. This is because (as far as I know) the Exynos chipset is not compatible with LTE radio's used in 4G networks in some parts of the world (the Galaxy Note is not said to be LTE compatible, while the Note I717 is)

  • Samsung Galaxy Note I717 available in india

  • I just got this phone 3 weeks ago, and I'm loving it more and more. Though the size of the phone is indeed huge, but I bought it which means I accept that fact. This phone is awesome. with the 1GB RAM it really makes a difference compared to Galaxy S II. I have not had any issue such as phone hang or restarts on its own like Galaxy S II when i got it for 2 weeks. The resolution of the screen is beautiful. The camera takes great photos and you only need a few simple steps using the editing tool in this phone to get flawless and basic effects. The battery life isn't as terrible as some said. I always play around with apps and surf the net and it lasted me for at least 6 hrs with super heavy usage, with lots of applications running. I also tried not using any apps or anything for a day, just sms and a few phone calls, by the end of the day there is still 60% left. For me, with this much resolution and RAM, the battery life is impressive enough. Basically, this phone is really good. Definitely worth the money. But only if you don't mind a phone that doesn't fit in your pocket.

  • Looks like a great phone, doubt i'll buy it tho because the screen is too small. i want a phone that cant fit in my pocket. damn

  • i hv same question

  • i'm going to buy

  • XXX if there is a LIKE i would have pressed it :D

  • Boss Set

  • YES! the worlds BEST phone! Still waiting for the Australian release.... Regards Peter

  • I've never held or seen the device in person but i have no doubt that its one of the best phones out there and when it gets ice cream sandwich it will be # 1 i just hope it doesn't heat up like alot of smart phones

  • This phone look nice in white colour, the screen is amazing. I never really like the iphone4 which I had owned in the past; except the look.

  • i don't see y you guys keep on complaining about the battery life. If it lasts you 14+hrs, then it should fine. What's wrong with charging it everynight? you sleep at night don't you? takes 2secs to plug the dam charger. move on with your life.

  • The World Best Phone ,,,

  • its a nice phone.

  • "Just Your Opinion", mark it pal. Screen size and colaborate between tablet-phone with S-Pen are superb innovasion from Smasung Mobile. If you compare with iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S, just remember both of them are different OS from competitor. And if you really used SGSII and GNote too, I think you should know that your opinion definetly not objective at all.

  • Yes, Galaxy Note screen is scratch resistant. It has Cornhil Gorilla Glass.

  • What do you mean modifies the Masterpieces?

  • read the specifications! stop asking stupid question

  • does the screen of Galaxy Note scretch resistant? Pls inform me if u've any idea. Thanx in advance

  • Everything is same in this two monster except (Chipset. CPU. & GPU.).

  • This phone is fantastic. The only thing to question...is obvious, the size of this beast. Like "a galaxy S II on roids" is what i commonly hear. Sometimes you'll love it, like reading in bed at night. Other times...you'll, not hate, but feel frustrated and awkwified...like having more than the phone in your pocket, or the pants you're wearing today are a lil smaller in the pockets than the rest. This phone has above average battery life. In an age where we presently charge our phone every night anyway you'll find yourself

  • SGnotei717 from at&t has 4G LTE as opposed to SGnote international version with 3G HSPA. SGnotei717 is 0.1 inches smaller in length with a NFL chip. International version has a physical home button at the bottom which looks super cute. But SGnotei717 from at&t has no physical home button. In stead of that it has 4 touch buttons which US android users are already familiar with.

  • This Galaxy Note says it has 1700MHz capability. Does this mean that T-Mobile US users will be able to use 3G or 4G? Or is this only for LTE and T-Mobile will not be able to utilize it?

  • how much?

  • On a two year contract it appears that it would be 478484.0500 Tanzanian Shillings, according to the current exchange rate from US Dollars. It would be 1036734.0500 Tanzanian Shillings without a contract.

  • what is the different between SG note compare SG note i717 ???

  • Amazing phone, I had an iphone before, now i got the samsung galaxy note. And I just love it!!!!! You don't care about the size after you start using. Then the Iphone screan seams so small for everything..... Just love it!!!

  • How much will it cost in Tanzanian Shillings? Of course,at the current exchange rate.

  • go to www.plemix.com or www.negrielectronics.com

  • check it www.disadvantages2cons.com/12/samsung-galaxy-not­e.html

  • It's free on a monthly US$46 unlimited data plan in the Philippines! I'm talking about the N7000, of course.

  • where did you read it? tell me

  • Check out www.newegg.com very reliable

  • I read $300.00 with a 2 yr contract. I seen them for @ $650.00 on amazon last month, no contract.

  • Hi, where do I get the international version? Do you know any reliable website where I can buy it at a cheaper price? Thanks.

  • how much is it i dont kno where to look at the prices ?

  • probably it may be laggy due to underpowered gpu(adreno 220 is really good enough) to power 800x1280 or software problem. 2500mah battery is the BEST i have seen in any mobile so far... and snapdragon s3 is also very good

  • Download

  • This link may help U

  • You better buy the International Version which is guaranteed to get future updates with freedom of use. Contract Phones comes with a lot of restrictions and penalties to consider before you jump into it. International Versions are always the best with more features.

  • will this phone come out in germnay? i want to buy note..should i wait for this or buy the international n7000? thank you

  • osem handset budy.......gre8

  • whats function wifi-direct??..please tell me about this.

  • just type *#1234#

  • can u mobile tracker facility availability in this mobile

  • how to check the manufacturing date of samsung?

  • My Note lasts 6 to 7 hours continuous heavy use on one charge. Your one hour claim is bogus! It can go even up to 18 hours on moderate use. Bring extra battery instead of charger. It makes more sense changing the battery than plugging in. Charge extra battery with a separate charger at home.

  • Yeah you are right. No point in carrying something if the charge wont last long. I just had my note fully charged and browsed for an hour and the battery fully drained. You are expecting me to carry a charger alone with all day long. Crazy? i rather keep it home only. The only best thing about these note is nice browsing experience. Its so laggyyyy.

  • Thank you for your "openion". You best stick to your iPhone. You did not get the point of getting the Note. Just be happy with something less like the iPhone.

  • I saw sooo many people commenting soo many things even without using the note yet.. I got my note last month , ive Samsung SG2, before.. what i feel is , note is little laggy compare to SG2. Most of the times, it lags alot.. But i luv the display. the clarity and color is awsome..! And batter is better than SG2, but so hard to carry coz of the size, it hard to fit in pocket and people can notice is it soo easily that you have something big on ur pocket if u r wearing casuals..! I usually keeps at home... No matter whatever ppl say , what they feels, i still love my iphone 4 than anything else. Its a sexy mobile and fit in hands nicely..! And gaming is awsome than any other mobile. It is just my personal openion..!

  • Gays!!! Could you please help indeed whihc type of Samsung best more than others?!!! All types are amazing and that's why I couldn't reach to the answer.

  • How about a nice, normal sized Android? Except the Xperia Ray, everyone is kind of going overboard. The new Galaxy Nexus is amazing, but I wouldn't trade in my Nexus S because of it's enormous size... Too bad. :(

  • don't buy these if you are a heavy user and game lover. Bettary is good enough for gaming and heavy using.

  • Yes, my dear friend your right.. Thanks for your answer!!!!!!!

  • Good Going at&t. I wish at&t will come in india. This is the only company which modifies the masterpieces.

  • I can do better, here is the direct link of GSM Arena's comparative system between the 2 models: www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4135&­idPhone2=4374

  • good answer!!!!!

  • good answer!!!!!

  • one main difference is the CPU and GPU, this vs has the Qualcomm chip vs the Samsung Exynos. The GPU is Adreno 220 which much slower then then Mali-400 on the other model.

  • We know what a light indicator is for on a mobile phone. I had it in 4 of my old Ericsson/Sonyericsson phones before since the mid 90a. I loved it since it even acts as a homing beacon in the dark trying to find your phone, and yes, telling you you have a message or missed call. They probably took it out for less distraction when you are reading using the screen of your high tech phone. The last time I checked, the word "forum" had not changed its meaning.

  • You read the specifications and compare. You have internet access. Use it.

  • What is the difference between these 2 sg note phones. White Note 1717 & black note 7000.

  • A light to indicate/notify...... Please post something useful. Tsk So sad to see people would crit over something so trivial

  • You can set the sound notification and/or vibrate for message notifications. You can even set Vlingo to read your messages through your Bluetooth ear piece. You can still stick to your good old Nokia unit that has your favorite flickering light notification. You even save almost $700 by not buying the Galaxy Note.

  • This phone sorely needs a breather light to notify messages, missed calls and emails. Nokia's older smartphones win in this department. Imagine having to manually check that massive screen every half an hour for updates.

  • The Galaxy Note has Gorilla glass. Most likely even Gorilla Glass 2, as far as when Corning introduced Gorilla Glass 2 last January 10 link I've posted before. Here is the link that finally confirms this fact: www.corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorill­a/full-products-list This brings me more peace of mind not having to add a screen protector. Well worth getting.

  • I am not from the US and I think it's probably for the US market. I has the same features as the earlier GALAXY NOTE. I would suggest you to go for the EARLIER galaxy note. Have used mine for the past 2 months. So far I have no problem with it.

  • Talking on bluetooth when you alone is not good and I agree with your comments. I've seen quite a few talking to themselves coming out of cars in a parking lot pacing back and forth and at the roadside. Sometimes I thought they are just releasing tension. Believe me I know and seen 1 waitress/kitchen helper at a cafe who always speak to herself everytime she has the chance all by herself at the sink washing dishes. She is a weido.

  • That's what some people said when 4.3" mobile phones came out. You can also use Bluetooth ear pieces with the Note. Bluetooth ear pieces are not exclusive for Tabs only. Samsung actually finally placed an ear speaker on the new Galaxy Tab Plus. Someone out there wished that the first 7" Tab had one probably they might run out of power on the Bluetooth ear piece, and would prefer some privacy in a phone conversion by not using the load speaker function of the Tab. Don't you also will look silly with an Bluetooth ear piece sticking off your ear and talking alone? Most sensible people buy gadgets based on durability, design and features. Form follows function. It's like not wanting to use powerful head phones since you look funny with a pair on.

  • It's too big in your perception since you are use to less than 5"phones. It hits the spot for those who work with A6 sized notebooks. it's perfect for us who actually use the S pen for digital art but fits the pocket. It's a useful to instantly get your ideas across by sketching what you really mean and can relay them to the rest of the design team. Power is just right with its powerful functions with a heavy usage of 6 to 7 hours in my experience. Unlike phomes with fixed batteries, I can change my drained one with a fresh battery. I can go on for 18 hours standby on moderate use - 1 hours of games, 1.5 hours of video, 20 minutes of call, 20 SMSs, 1 hour of internet browsing, and 1 hour sketching. I use Juice Defender Ultimate to save precious power when it turns off radios automatically during standbys. It has the HD resolution of a tablet computer, more than twice the picture taking camera resolution at 8 MP than 3 MP on the Tab. All that in a pocket. In fact, this is what I carry to work on most days. So much handy. You can still stick to your smaller phones if you don't need such advantages. You're free to choose.

  • Please include notification LED in all Samsung smart phones

  • It's cheaper that IPHONE 4S in my country.

  • The size of the Galaxy Note is not that big. Try buying it, you will appreciate the screen size. I've had the Galaxy Note for 3 months now and I really appreciate the size and will never go back to smaller size phone. I've been after bigger size phones for 2 years and finally got it after my DELL STREAK 5. You know what? I've had IPHONE 4, SGS, SG2, HTC SALSA to name a few but had sold off to friends as they are not for me. I use my phone to read/compose work email when I'm not at the office. Receive/makes about 30 calls on average day, plays some youtube music vidoes, minimum web browsing, use my phone as HOTSPOT when at home. All in all my phone usage start from 8 am until 10 pm, I still have about 50% of battery remaining. What do you think of it? But I don't play game with my phone. My next hope is to wait for APPLE to start producing 5 inch phone.

  • to expensive !!!

  • yes. It is too big for a smartphone. And too small for a tablet. Not userfriendly. Besides it has bettary issues because of its big screen that drains damn energy. Good for using indoor.

  • will this phone comming to europe? thanks!

  • It's looking very beautiful

  • it's freaking huge, i mean...4 inch..4.2 4,3 it's acceptable but 5+ inch....how many of you seen it in reality. it barely fits in your hand. not to mention the fact that it's not "pocket friendly". ok in most aspects as performance but....it's better if you buy a tab of 7 inch and a Bluetooth headset and voila. it's not a smartphone, not a phone, not a tablet, it's more like a semi tablet sorta phone where you would look ridiculous talking at it. Peace

  • is this phone coming out under AT&T alone and only ?

  • well the specs state 1700/2100 so yeah, it should support AWS

  • when is it going to be available in aus at shops and will we be getting the 1717 or the other version. i soooo want this phone i have been waiting so long for a decent 5 inch phone.

  • Click on compare and read. :)

  • I just bought it 2 weeks ago at Indonesia, its called Galaxy Note N7000, very ssatisfy with its performance, some office features is helpful, and I like the size its more than usual phonecell size yet its smaller than tablet, it s very mobile. thanks

  • Can this be used for T-mobile AWS 3G?

  • king of mobile ware. look apple that is phablet.

  • when it will be available in saudi arabia

  • we are waiting here in Puerto Rico.

  • where is the Corning Gorilla Glass ?? I think its very important.. We need it ,please

  • can any one can tell me what`s the difference between it and galaxy note N7000 ???! please , i will wait your reply..

  • samsung note needs much better improved bettary backup.

  • already bought it ! love it so much !!!

  • Gee, what would you do with all that power, and just imagine the power consumption!? Nice to have high ended features but if it needs to be thicker and heavier because it needs a bigger battery, no thanks.

  • yes,i agree with you about these

  • My upgrade on my contract is sept 2012 so there is time. but I dont see a difference between this and the N7000 this one is 0.1 GHZ faster but its running a completly different chip set Enoyx on the old and Snapdragon on the other. I have a Sony Ericsson X10i anything is faster now but Stil I want this new note to be much faster than its pre decesor.. mainly fast or faster than the up and coming Galaxy S3 which is set to have a 1.8GHZdual core CPU... and why is these companies release their phones with gingerbread? when ICS is on its way out?

  • What are the differences between the Galaxy Note l717 and the Galaxy Note. Is the Galaxy Note l717 for the american market only or will it be sold worldwide. When is the release date. I wanted to buy the Samsung Note do you recommend i wait and get the Note l717 Cheers...

  • What is the difference between this device and the current Samsung note. Is this device only for the american market or will it be sold world wide, what is the expected release date of this device. Cheers :-)

  • Perfect!

  • I need a dual sim with cdma+gsm in qwerty key pad just like a chat 322 model

  • this is for at&t

  • The battery backup of this stylish fully featured phone is very poor. Improvement is necessary.

  • The battery backup of this stylish fully featured phone is very poor. Improvement is necessary.

  • yes this is compatible for video calling

  • yes its doo

  • Better CPU, Better GPU, better Chipset, and yes It's Support NFC. Good Job Samsung.

  • the processor is a difference,lte and the fact that its american. theres 4 buttons on the front instead of one big one in the center.

  • u must be referring to Apple's product...troll

  • ya

  • what is the difference between this samsung galaxy note and the previous one.

  • does this phon support video call ??

  • some crappy device from samsung same design with + and - as prefix,

  • Everyone has great expectations of Samsung, however the company is unable to maintain its momentum in terms of product development and new technology. Look at all the mobiles they released last year, staggering. Where is the new technology coming from for them to continue the pace. It is certainly not their technology, apart from say screens. They just packaged and marketed better. Can Samsung deliver like last year. Probably not.

  • I don't think so. lg nitro hd used qualcomm, and it's much faster than original galaxy note in benchmark. Adreno 220 is definitely better than mali 400. but exynos, and ti omap4 have more powerful cpu, so I think they're about the same (exynos is a little bit faster actually, but you won't notice it in day-to-day use)

  • Is the phone available for AT&T network?

  • Mugen Power makes a 4500 mAh extended battery for the Note. See

  • i 'm really disappointed with samsung . where is the super Amoled plus ?

  • Yeahh right.... And it should also have an autopilot on and turn into a jetpack

  • Hi, I would like to inform members of this honorable forum that we need an update which gives the battery enough juice to run well over 8hours for the heavy user in Galaxy note....or Make a 7000 mAh battery for us. All the best.

  • Sadly, Qualcomm's chipset is outdated. Samsung should have picked an Exynos or an OMAP4 solution. Tegra3 is said to have an autonomy of 5 hours only :(

  • And the exynos Chipset version has 4G capability aswell

  • Ha note has been out in the UK for 2 months with better cpu and better gpu

  • This version should have come with the latest quad-core snapdragon CPU alongside a more powerful GPU chips. It should have 64GB storage version. The screen technology should no longer be the pentile, with at least 1920 x 1200 pixels to make it a trueHD screen. Samsung give give a real value for the money.

  • already on commercial in national geographic channel.

  • If this is usable in windmobile canada, I would need it ASAP!!!!

  • yeah...absolutely.

  • Will this be usable on Tmobile frequency of 1700/2100?

  • All software supportable Mobile ... very nice .. u can buy it ..Don't worry if u lost this Handset so u can get it..Bcoz The anti-theift s/w already installed in this mobile

  • I hope that AT&T leaves this phone intact with all the features including the FM radio. No one wants AT&T Radio or TV when you cant connect through WIFI and no available unlimited data plan. Smarten up AT&T.

  • is qualcomm,adreno 220 stronger than exynos,mali400mp,if yes then i will buy this instead

  • plz whats the difference between samsung galaxy note n7000 and galaxy note i9220?

  • No the 4G LTE version of the Galaxy S II has a Snapdragon chipset. Exynos however supports HSPA+ 21Mbps, but no LTE.

  • No, exynos support LTE. GSII is 4G-supported, so of course it's support LTE.

  • Wi-Fi use makes the battery life poor, drains a lot battery, but the rest is Ok.

  • No matter what the reason is fella... In the end they WILL be dissappointed.

  • the specs do not show GLONASS support like in original galaxy note

  • The biggest problem with the Galaxy Note is it's battery life when using that ridiculous screen. I wonder if the LTE version will come with a little more juice (considering LTE connections tend to use it up a bit quicker).

  • If it's gonna use Android ICS, it would be awesome

  • this is da beast!

  • Mali-400MP >>> Adreno 220

  • Exynos doesn't support LTE. That's why they had to use Qualcomm.

  • I prefer the original galaxy note with the exynos :)

  • and the Processor iz 1.4 ghz

  • It is already in the market and it comes with 16gb internal memory + MMC option. and OS is Android 2.3.5, which is upgradeable

  • Snapdragon chipset? Our American friends're gonna be dissapointed.
