so much for 5 inch is too big, who would buy it. etc etc.

We reported earlier in November that just over a month after its launch, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 had sold over 3 million units worldwide. Now just a few weeks later that number has jumped up to 5 million sales worldwide, according to Samsung. It's a pretty great rate of sales, and we're sure that those will only continue to increase as the holiday buying season kicks off. Especially considering that the Note 2 is now available on all major carriers here in the states.

Samsung notes (pun intended) that the device is outpacing its predecessor -- the original Note -- in sales at this point. In its previous sales release, CEO of Samsung Mobile JK Shin indicated a sales goal of 20 million units for the Note 2.

It's the best smartphone in the market! I got one... It's blazing FAST, 2 gig RAM, the software is SUPERB, it's beautiful and feels much better in hand than the Note 1 and the screen is the best in size now that it's slightly stretched up with 16:9 instead of almost 4:3 from the original.

I'm totally in love. It's almost a laptop! :wub:

I bought one Wednesday and I returned it today and exchanged it for an S3. The reasons:

1. The Note II was just too big to carry around

2. The screen was not as bright and sharp as the S3.

3. The text messenger UI was laggy. The S3 for some reason is not.

4. The Home Button was also laggy. The S3 did not have that problem.

5. The Email UI was doing funny things earlier today. Flashing and stuff. Not good.

Maybe in the future I will get a Galaxy Note 3 or 4 or 5. We'll see down the road.

1. The Note II was just too big to carry around

You gave it just 2 days? Not enough time. I thouoght it was too big initially, but within a week you'd be used to it and the S3 would seem tiny in comparrison.

2. The screen was not as bright and sharp as the S3.

My Son has an S3, I have a Note 2, my screen is as bright and in fact clearer than his in everyway.

3. The text messenger UI was laggy. The S3 for some reason is not.

Absolutly no problem what-so-ever with the text message UI. Fast and flowing.

4. The Home Button was also laggy. The S3 did not have that problem.

Absolutly no problem what-so-ever with the Home button here.

5. The Email UI was doing funny things earlier today. Flashing and stuff. Not good.

Absolutly no problem what-so-ever with the email UI. Neither the Gmail app version nor the Samsung app version. Good.

I've had mine since October and I've had absolutly NONE of those problems you describe above.

    • Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Payday 2, the most popular entry in the heisting game franchise, is getting a surprising update after all these years. This is slated to be a complete engine upgrade that will enhance almost every aspect of the 13-year-old title, targeting performance, loading times, file size, rendering backend, and more. Developer Sidetrack Games is planning a beta to test out the new version ahead of the full public launch. The development team today revealed that the long-awaited upgrade to the 64-bit architecture is happening with this Diesel 3.0 engine update. By letting the game use more ram than 4GB, it is said to improve stability and compatibility on most hardware. It should also help modders in the long term with implementing larger changes too. "While many of the changes are made on the backend and not everything will be visible to you guys because it is a massive rewrite of the entire codebase, there will be a lot of things that you can look forward to," Sidetrack explained. Payday 2 will also hop over from DirectX 9 to 11. Instead of visual improvements, this is slated to reduce the amount of VRAM used by the title, letting more lower-end hardware access the title and run it better. Since these changes would require a complete redownload of the game anyway, Sidetrack says it has revamped "the game's packaging and bundling system." This should reduce the installation size from 86GB to 32GB. "So, now it's time to finally move the game to your SSDs," added the studio. The Payday 2 Diesel Engine 3.0 update is entering open beta on June 30 for Steam users. No console release plans were announced today. Sidetrack Games says it has been working on this complete rewrite of the codebase for the last nine months. While these changes should break most mods, the studio encouraged modders to use the beta period to repair their creations with support from the development team.

      From the incredibly asinine idea of disposable AI datacenter satellites launching into low Earth orbit to building out yet another unnecessary mobile network, this con-man will do ANYTHING to scam investor suckers and get his stock prices up. This stinks of panic to me. Good.
