Should I wait for Samsung Note III in Oct or should I get Note II NOW?

[wayanggedek]

I am in a dilemma, I like to migrate from Apple to Samsung Galaxy and I like the current Note because good for a old fella's eyes like mine. Should I wait for III rumored to be available in October?

Just buy now and trade in when new model comes out

Thank you for the comparison. So did you sell it because you didn't like it? Any reason that I should take note of?

Buy Tab 2 7.0'. It is a Tab doubling up as a phone. Big enough for old folks like us, yet still portable.

Of course wait until Note III launches then buy Note II.

Yes i use samsung tab 2 7.0 when i don't need the iphone. Its only $365 +- and same size as ipad mini and.. its a phone too . Only thing is you better use Bluetooth or a earpiece to answer the phone cos one "Angmo" Laugh at me when i put the tablet/phone to my ear .. rofl.

Cause i forgot to activate the Bluetooth Jawbone which can sync to 2 device at the same time. :p

Note I & II has been lots of software lagging problems since day 1, plus its too big for typing. At first i thought bigger is easier to type but need 2 hands. Esp when u're driving & need 1 hand texting etc. But if reading is the only concern then note is good.

I already owned a iPad mini. Problem is my iPhone 5 went crazy lately and its only 6 bloody months, so I thought I like to convert.

That sounds like a jolly good idea but cannot wait too long cost the iPhone 5 is down and using the old 4 now which I pity myself as its slow.

I love my note and its big screen. There are app which helps you in your typing in big screen. I am using thumb keyboard. It is actually a spilt keyboard design for tablet and it is also customized for mobile.

You got to search for apps to make your life better rather than using the default ones.

Shucks, I do lots of typing into WhatsApp and net surfing while driving, does typing really requires two hands? I really need to think about this.

The note got the software that made the keyboard easy for one hand typing. But i seldom use that. Learn to use their built in apps or get apps from Google play.

Googled image Shannon 222 showed lots of charbors photos leh think we don't have in Singapore this brand

Thank you Tony. Looks like I need to ask you for more advise when I finally get mine soon but it seem to be bloody expensive at $998.00. Anyway will get it next week. Guess you should be waiting for the III?

Bigger? Bigger your head. My master had finally come back and really bigger and stronger than before. Be warned. Be afraid.
