Samsung GALAXY Note: Worth buying?

[Alfonso209]

yan ang gustong gusto ko.. too bad out of budget

magkano po pala ang Samsung Galaxy Note? Nasa 30K po ba?

[vproject]

30+K pag cash. Pag card around 35k. Shop around.

[tripkoyan]

Merong mas mura eh sa mga online sellers, pinakamurang nakita ko is 28k yata. Pero sa Samsung store na ko bumili para sigurado, mahirap na mag bakasakali.

ah ganun ba, may kamahalan pa nga kase latest ng Samsung, pero keri lang. Kung after 1 pa year kase bibili, nasa 1k - 2k lang ang ibababa ng presyo. Worth it pa rin bilhin.

[tripkoyan]

Yup worth it naman hehe. Pag Samsung Warranty lang yata meron free flip cover.

^what's "flip over"? Sa loob ba yan ng Galaxy note? Apps ba yan?

[tripkoyan]

Flip cover yun hehe

Alfonso, IMO, yung Windows 7 Phone is really designed as a Phone. IMO, yung Android device such as Galaxy Note, it is more media-centric device. Depende sa use mo. Kung heavy user ka ng video and music and browsing, go for Galaxy Note.

Hassle kasi yung mga phones like iPhone and Windows Phone na need pa ng iTunes and Zune para lang mag load ng media content (specifically videos) sa phone.

Thank you very much ChocoSwirl


Napaisip ako sa sinabi mo, for practical reasons, you stated it in a functional approach of a handset.

With that note, Im more inclined now to purchase Galaxy Note.

Yes, Im into net browsing, video streaming and music downloads. And also into photoing. Thanks for this advice

galaxy note review ni yugatech

specs comparison between ip4s and note

reasons to consider galaxy note over iphone4s and vice versa


-maganda ang galaxy note ayon sa review ni yugatech.
-specs-wise lamang na lamang ang galaxy note over iphone4s
-future-proof pa yung note kasi 4G capable at upgradeable to adroid ICS. yung iphone4s walang 4G capabilities.
-mas malaki pa screen size ng note kesa yung buong iphone

but then again iphone4s pa rin niregalo ko para sa sarili ko kasi mas trip ko iOS kesa android. mas madaming 3rd party apps sa apple store at dahil puros naka iphone mga kapatid ko

and by the way for those planning to own/buy galaxy note here is something that might be of interest to you:

upon visiting smart center in sm center las piñas last dec 24 2011, i learned that they have a promo for galaxy note which is good only up to dec 31 this year.

Free na yung galaxy note @ unli data plan 2000 instead of unli data plan 3000 na naka publish sa website ng smart.

Inclusive in the plan are: unli mobile internet, 200 sms (all networks), 150 mins call (all networks)

a very good offer di ba kasi ano gagawin mo sa smart phone kung wala ka naman connectivity

isipin mo na lang binili mo yung galaxy note @ 24K (1k monthly for 24 months) tapos nag avail ka ng 2 years smart broadband internet service @ 24K dahil 1k monthly ang fee. not to mention yung free sms at calls monthly.

so i think mas practical na bilhin siya under a carrier kesa bilhin mo in cold cash or kahit installment plan with credit card. kayo na lang magcompute

[FileHost4]

^ awewsome offer!

How can we avail? I think they require a credit card. Too bad, i don't have one.

[nolliejay]

hindi kelangan ng credit card.

to avail, punta ka sa nearest smart center. better kung dala mo na accomplished application form at requirements para di na pabalik-balik.

tawagan mo sila or tignan sa website para sa list ng requirements

when it comes to android phones, subok na ang samsung!
ang androids ay hindi lang para sa mga "techie". sinasabi nilang para sa mga techie kasi pwede mong gawin kung anong gusto mong gawin sa android phone mo kung alam mo ang ginagawa mo, dito binubuo iyong mga custom roms, mga themes, at ibang paraan para ma customize mo ang phone mo gamit ang pagiging "techie" mo at itong customs themes ay naiiba sa mga themes at launchers na nadodownload natin sa market.
sa thread starter, reading from your posts, the best phone for you is the android base os. bakit? customization, pagbutingting nga mga pwedeng madownload na applications para mapaganda ang phone mo. i have samsung galaxy tab almost a year na at hanggang ngayon hindi ako nag sasawa sa kakabutingting if may bagong launcher or themes na available lalo na pagnakakasawa na ang looks ng tab ko.

sabi mo mahilig ka mag sketch? galaxy note is best for you.
galaxy note is not a phone and it is not a tab but a mix of both.
why? it has phone functionality but the size is not as big as a tablet.
my samsung galaxy tab 7" can fit on my pocket, what more ang galaxy note dba?

i heard the battery of galaxy note is better compared sa other samsung android phones.
I am not sure of the price pero sabi nila mahal daw.

my advice, if you want a phone asap
go for galaxy note dahil sa upgraded specs nya compared sa ibang samsung galaxy phones
if you can wait for samsung galaxy s3 or iphone 5
i think mas maganda.


at lastly,
ang android os ay hindi lang pang games, music and videos
ito ay pwede mo rin mapaganda ang phone mo sa paraang gusto mo. amazing diba? pero minsan sa sobrang dami ng widgets at kung ano ano pang applications nakabukas it can cause your phone to freeze kaya hindi pinapayagan ng ios ang customization sa os nila.
sa android phones may flash player na pwede kang manood ng tv live streaming from your phone amazing diba?
in other words, lahat nagagawa ng android os kumpara sa ios.
ang iphone nauuso kasi mahal, kasi apple at stable ang os.
stable because hindi masyadong nag pifreeze, dahil siguro limited lang ang nagagawa mo kaya hindi masyadong kumakain ng ram ang iphone mo.
ang iphone ay tatak apple at kung meron kang iphone, big time ka.
so mamili ka sa dalawa
bibili kaba ng gadget para in at angat ka or bibili ka dahil ito ang kailangan mo?

[tripkoyan]

Ang maipipintas lang naman siguro sa Samsung/Android Phones is yung unstable OS, battery life and market place which can be found in Samsung Note. OS can be upgraded to ICS, 2500mAh battery, and the much improved Android Market in ICS.

Samsung stores sell it for 35K while other sell it for 30K, both have official samsung warranty....
Why?
Will I be getting a lower class/lower quality note from those that sell it cheaper?

[blue_da_loo]

^ because Samsung stores will not compete prices sa mga nagbebenta ng products nila. same quality din (of course bastat legitimate ang store). same thing with apple and nokia tsaka yung iba pa.
