Steve J, 12 Feb 2013It took 11 months between the release dates of Note1 & ... moreI'm inclined to believe that the Note III will be out October/November. My contract from the Note I will be up by then and will gladly be taking up that retention device for another 2-year contract. I'll need the same unlimited data internet service anyway.
I'm not in a hurry to get the Note III if it really does come out this month or the next. I just got the Note II last month.
16:10 ratio of the Note I was something I appreciated as it stood close to the A6 sized notebooks. I think this is where the design team came up with the concept and put in the Wacom pen as an enhancement to that concept of a Moleskine notebook - I mean this was where they started putting in the flip cover too, just like a notebook has. The marketing was cautious a bit when it started the launch for the Note I -they were giving out no downpayment subscriptions with the free flip cover, perhaps due to the unsuccessful Dell Streak 5". The Note I was ridiculed to be a strange big smartphone. I saw past that and got it immediately and I was immensely satisfied with what I was able to do with the device.
The S III carried over some of the concepts from the Note I. And then the concepts of the S III was carried over to the Note II like screen ratio.
Whatever the next Note is, I hope the S Pen gets better features and the screen resolution gets higher with the battery capacity becoming even more better. I'm curious about how the double quad-core processor will cut energy consumption by 70%. I just hope the weight isn't as heavy though.

It took 11 months between the release dates of Note1 & 2, so it is likely we won't see Note 3 till September 2013.
Samsung changed the image aspect ratio from 8:5 in Note1 to 16:9 in Note2. The reason is that 16:9 gives a narrower (less wide) phone.
So we can see that Samsung is conscious of size & would not want to stray beyond limits. The Note2 is a phone, not a caricature of one.
Imagine how ridiculous it would look, holding a 6.3 inch phone to your ear to answer a call.
Furthermore, pocket portability would be seriously compromised. A mobile phone has to be mobile ie pocket portable. 6.3 inches is too much.
Wait a minute....don't tell me Samsung are slyly referencing phallic symbolism!

A great device, I have liked everything except the device quality materials. The device doesn't look so strong that it cannot resist all the shocks or falls.
Overall, smashing features and smooth OS.

M planning to buy a new phn but confuse between SGN2... moreThe note 2 is an awesome phone but for the uses you mention you probably don't need a 5.5" screen.
Maybe look at the SGS3, other 4.5-5" android devices or even the iphone.

It seems like samsung is leaking info because everyone is reporting the same info.
6.3" screen (350dpi), octocore (2xquad), 13mp camera, 3300mah battery.

The main thing that's attracting me to the Note series is the active Wacom stylus system Samsung has integrated. Without it, I would have gotten a Motorola Razr HD Maxx for a smartphone and a full Windows tablet with an active stylus.

It is meant to be a few mm wider than the note and 10-12mm longer than the note 2. This would indicate really small bezels and no buttons on the bottom.

There is no way that SG Note 3 will have a 6.3 inch screen, for that would make it no longer a phone or even a phablet. Samsung know there is a limit to how large a phone screen can be, and at 5.5 inches they are very close to it.
