Not sure why Samsung design a dock that will not charge the phone.
and buying a spare battery? do you carry it around in your pocket?

I would want something like this instead.

Was talking to samsung tech guy today. He was doing installs in futureshop. Played with his note 2 and wow its fucking snappy. He had nfc lte full brightness on all day and about 4 hours he was still sitting at 85%.

Compared to my s3 with 4g on and low brightness I was at 75%......

Hmmm.. Starting to get tempted lol... I think I'll wait till Google's announcement at the end of this month first :)

The rear compartment is the charger.

Everyone carries around a spare battery in Korea, so yes, when I know I'm going somewhere, I'll take it with me.

You take multiple batteries with cameras - same idea.

I have 2 cheap spare made in China batteries that I keep with me. But I spend a lot of time playing Angry birds and other games.

Battery (back) covers, especially Samsung, are very flimsy. I would rather have this

or this if I have my backpack

hard to decide what colour to get.

what colour are you getting?

i can just hear you going "FFFFFFfffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" when your micro USB port snaps off lol!

Grey

Grey looks awesome

just pre ordered at bestbuy coquitlam for the white one!

cant wait to go back to android.

:okay: you are right, it will.

that's why I have the second one and a car charger instead

Take this with a grain of salt

Fido rep called telling me to re-new my contract and I told her that I want the Galaxy Note 2 and she told me to wait for 3 weeks.

is a white International version 16GB Note II for $600 brand new a good deal these days?

^ anything below 650USD Shipped is good.
Average online price right now is 670 shipped.

I'd prefer to have a dock that doesn't charge but still comes up in dock mode, or at least gives you the option of not charging; leaving it on but plugged in all day at 100% capacity is not good for the battery.

Where you get that? I'm interested.

Curious, if I get a Note 2 LTE in HK and if I am in Canada, will the LTE work as well?

Thanks

Nope

Edit: Sorry, did not know Fido wasn't included in the original confirmed carriers.

you could probably find a short extension micro USB cable with a 90 deg male end. then no worries.

Yeah its available on tmobile today for 650 no term

i wonder if the Costco in Washington will sell it to me unlocked?

Sell it, yes. Unlock it? I think that's Tmobile, and not Costco.
