GoGeTa006:
Who comes up with these code names?

halfelite:
being you are on ATT go to radioshack you can get a brand new htc one x for 99$ or the samsung s3 for 149$ plus a 25$ gift card that you can turn around and use on the purchase and a 5$ gift card just for checking if you can upgrade. So the new HTC X would be 69$ and the s3 would be 109$

xShadow:
I think you're 10 bucks off on the S3's price.

It doesn't sound like you need the latest and greatest for your purposes, and they'll be bringing out the Note II soon (read: price drop). 5.3" screen makes it the largest out there short of a tablet, 32gig internal and space for a microSD, h264 support; ok, so it's not the fastest or latest but it's worth a look imo.

That's an interesting choice. From what I've read online, the Note II is going to be released sometime in September, which isn't too far away. As long as it fits in my pocket, I won't mind... and if it ends up cheaper than the S3, it's definitely worth looking into. I'm hopefully trying for a screen that can actually fit one full page of an online manga on it while still being readable without zooming. It's definitely one step closer to that. It'll be better for everything else I try, and the processor is still dual core.

I don't think I'm interested in shelling out 200 dollars for a phone with way more horsepower than I'll (ever) need, so it looks like I'm narrowing it down Galaxy Note in mid-September, or One X right now. Leaning towards waiting for the Galaxy Note's price to drop, since its larger screen is appealing. If it drops down to 100 bucks or so I'm definitely gonna go for it.

Side note, looks like Android apps can be pirated pretty easily... my iPhone you can only do that if you jailbreak the thing. I never did it because no matter how low they claim the chance of bricking it is, it's still there (no backup). Android looks like it requires no jailbreak.

I kept wondering who the hell would ever want a Note, I guess maybe there is a market.
Interesting.

I've read that it's a bit of a cult hit. I mean it's a little bigger than a cell phone but still way smaller than one of those tablets so you can fit it into your pocket (probably?). I don't see what's not to like. If you can give me some cons, I'll take those into consideration.
