I COULDN’T agree more! I got to use the Sprint version of the Note 2 that is complete with multi-window that includes social media, YouTube, Gmail, Google Talk and others and the Sprint variant is FAR more useful for multi-tasking that the VZW model. Only issue is that the SPrint version doesn’t have group texting capability and we all know how the Sprint LTE rollout is going.

The AT&T version comes in 16, 32 and 64GB with a Micro sd slot good up to 64GB. My friend has Verizon 16GB and it has a micro Sd slot good up to 64GB.

Yeah I am glad. I’m in Houston & the Tmobile speeds are great, I get better speeds than my Verizon S3 in some parts of town. Cdma services are wack compared to gsm. So to answer your question, Yeap I’m glad. I’m tired of Verizon being late withupdates as well as being the last to drop phones or not carry them @ all.

You’re glad you got the Tmo version? I live in Boston, and in Cambridge using speedtest.net ? I get 75mps on ATT LTE. My friends Tmo GN2 gets 12mbps test right next to mine. 50mps more or headphones?

Thats kinda my major dilema with the DNA. At first I thought 11-16 GB of storage would be plenty if I just transitioned to using Google Music and relying on Netflix, YouTube and other streaming apps for video content and only having one or two movies stored locally (I still have unlimited data) but then I got to thinking. If I transition to Google Music I can’t use apps like PowerAmp (I payed almost $5 for the full version) and MoboPlayer (to me it offers the best interface for watching videos and its pop up player is amazing). Then I also looked at my current usage on my Droid Razr and noticed the entire 8GB of internal storage is almost full as well as with almost half of the dedicated app storage is full along with my 32GB mSD is almost full (most of its ROM updates and SS backups that I just haven’t gotten round to deleting yet). I think the Note2′s 16gb of internal storage wouldn’t be that big of an issue and with the mSD card slot I can load a 32GB or even a 63GB card and be set!

Not sure that it is Google. Multiwindow already works on the Sprint version with Gmail and YouTube.

Think you might be waiting at least 5-7 months more man, for an announcement.

> Great multi window multitasking has been added but only works for verizon bloatware apps,

This is incorrect. Did you even read the article? Or do you think that Total Commander is a Verizon app? Good news, it isn’t.

You people need to chill out. There are already three third party apps from small developers that work on the Verizon Multiview. Gmail, Youtube and Chrome will also work as soon as Google releases app updates. It doesn’t need an update form Verizon.

Agreed. Think back a year ago when all of these people bought the original Droid Razr prior to Christmas. Then the Maxx was released in late January and everyone was pissed because they had just missed the return window to exchange their devices. VZW is all about moving cheap/free/special color devices for the holidays.

If you can live with whatever you’re rocking for the next 2-4 months, then I recommend waiting to see what is an ounce or whatever Verizon’s next big release is for early 2013. If nothing else, maybe we will see a new version of the DNA released with a bigger battery and/or more internal storage…or a 32Gb Note2.

As far as storing apps are concerned, the Note 2 is just as gimped as the DNA is for its internal storage. I refuse to buy anything less than 32Gb internal + an expansion slot in 2012, much less 2013.

My cuz has the note 2 for T-mobile and he does not have multi-window at all.. I would say better to have it with some features rather than not at all.. I just use the youtube on the internet browser for now..

Great multi window multitasking has been added but only works for verizon bloatware apps, Thx Verizon, how they got the number 1 in Consumer reports is beyond me.
So people can use the 2 windows to pay their vzw bills and watch their data which is all the multitasking verizon thinks you need.

Asus Padfone 2/ and some of those windows phones are looking ok. I might wait till feb also, I waited forever for the note 2, ive been eligible for 5 months for upgrade, just cant close the deal, i think the complete package might be just around the corner…
