Hello all,

I have had a cellphone since the late 90's but have never had a touch screen phone to date.

My cellphone history includes:

Motorola StarTAC (did it's job well)
LG Flip Phone (weird skeletonized earpiece model)
Motorola Razr V3m (still have one in brand new condition)
Nextel i560 Rugged Flip Workphone
Nextel i335 Workphone
2 - Nextel i580 Rugged Flip Workphones
BlackBerry Curve 8300
BlackBerry Style 9670 Flip Phone
2 - BlackBerry Bold 9650 (current POS....sorry)

I am buying the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 on the release day later this week using Sprint network. I currently drop calls with my BlackBerry 2-5 times over my 35 mile commute (each way) due to dead spots on the east end of Long Island. I am hoping with the "better" antenna in the Note 2 that it will help with Sprint's spotty CDMA network out here. Also because of the non-existent service at home we have an Airave free of charge. (end rant :rolleyes: )

Can't wait for the Galaxy Note 2 with only four days to go :)

Thank you all for the warm welcome ;)

I really did not know what I was missing (Android) until last year when my Kindle Fire arrived replacing my e-ink Kindle 3G, I was the first person in my circle to get a FIRE. Then I sold it and bought the Galaxy Tab 2 running ICS and was floored by the difference (non Amazon UI).

But I gave it to my wife as a gift and she has not put it down yet......so I have been Android-less. I have been really bored not having an e-reader or tablet and have been looking for a "do-it-all device" and bam Samsung announced the Galaxy Note 2!!

I am counting the days, hours and minutes until I can get away from BB/RIM....it just doesn't suite me anymore.

Android here I come!
