Why are you asking Samsung? Verizon should just get the Note 2 and be done with it. Verizon needs to feel the pressure to get a good phablet. The LG is crap and would be fine if it were free with a 2 year subscription but for those who want the best, it is not even close to the Note 2.
Verizon needs far more pressure so they will do the right thing.

I wonder how close “too close” is for manufacturers… HTC has 4″ & 4.3″ — 4.8″ and 5″ might be too close.

I agree. I don’t see them sitting on the sidelines while Apple, Moto and HTC release their VZW flagship phones even though they already released the GS3. The only way I see them not releasing the Note is if VZW has an exclusivity agreement with HTC not allowing a similar competitor to their +5″ device for a certain time frame. Either way I would bet we see a heavily discounted GS3 when the iPhone drops.

Hah! No, I just think it’s silly that people automatically would go to the negative and not look at history. It would make sense for Sammy to create a new Note that would be on Verizon’s network and the other major three.

They just did it with the SGSIII – and given the Note’s popularity, we shall see!

I’ll play conspiracy theorist. With that response it leads me to believe that y’all know something official but can’t report it yet. So you’re looking for anything that will let you leak the info without actually leaking the info.

I don’t give a damn about the note. VZ most of the times use all the left over from AT&T.

Good luck getting the most out of Wacom’s digitizer on a stock Android system, then.

I think it would have to be at least 5.3″ for it to be a significant enough difference to produce it alongside their galaxy s3 though…

They aren’t “hinting” at crap. I’ve posted several requests on their page asking when the Verizon Galaxy Nexus will get an official car dock and the response is always “Stay tuned for updates!”. It’s the Samsung marketing department trying to act like they know what engineering is actually doing while not pissing off the customer.

My prediction: Verizon is TERRIFIED of phablets damaging the (already barely-selling) overpriced line of LTE tablets, which they are hoping the shared data plans will somehow stimulate demand for.

So, a year after the initial success of the OG Note, and many people clamoring for a VZW Phablet, they are gonna release the lame Vu which is destined to be a huge flop. After it bombs, VZW will say something to the effect of “See, no one wanted these big phones after all”.
