I don't remove the sd card so im not much help.

I did try out the hdmi cable on a 40" 720p tv and quality on Netflix streamed was very good even on 5mb dsl. Didn't notice much difference on 4G @ 15mb.

I may need to get that... however I spend too much time as it is on H-talk...

Taking H-talk with me might e destructive to productivity...

OTOH... it would be a great tool for information gathering... may need to get it.

Q: What is Tapatalk?

A: Tapatalk is a mobile app built specifically for forum access. Different from mobile skin or mobile version that comes with the forum system, Tapatalk allows user to have a unified interface to access multiple forums at the same time. With million of Tapatalk users, your forum can be discovered by potential new members thru Tapatalk Network and our ranking and recommendation system.

So is it just a different format on the screen or something? I was thinking maybe you spoke to the phone and it typed it up. That could get a little messy though probably. 1 little screw up and we would have a 20 page post.

Yes I would like the download. You can PM if you want to.

What does the Tapatalk app do?

There is a website called cables to go that sells the extension cable. Let me know if you want the link.

Tapatalk is the best money I ever spent on an app. Hands down! I would not bother with the forum if I didn't have that app.

I just got a Droid Razor Maxx last night. I did get the otter box, and i can see where the card reader fitting is going to be an issue. I imagine I will have to do some whittling to make it work, and the little flap that covers the headset plug in will have to go, as it will require the device to sit about a quarter inch above the actual phone. Heck of it is that they don't seem to offer too many case options on these, and the otterbox is hard to take off the phone each time you just want to swipe a card. in fact, I think they make it that way to discourage it being taken off.

Anyone with the Otterbox and this phone or like kind have any suggestions as to what will work will be appreciated. Someone mentioned an extension, which would be nice if I knew where to get one.

What is this Tapatalk app that is being discussed?

That's why I buy phones that have Corning Gorilla glass.

Just got the galaxy s 3 coming from a sensation. I'm amazed at how sweet this thing is and the sensation was great. 4g is a must and t mobile has the fastest and most reliable 4g

My wife is getting the Samsung galaxy3 which costs a dollar at sams club Friday.

I'm getting the razr maxx hd through target for 199 and a 50 dollar gift card.

For you guys that don't need the extremely fast hardware, I recommend my current phone....the Casio commando. It isn't fast or fancy but its one hell of a rugged machine....been through absolute hell with it for two years now and barely a scratch. I give it a bath once a day...yes a waterproof 3g smartphone.

In my work truck I have a company Motorola droid.

Android is the clumsiest buggiest crap I've ever used.

As for the otterbox it has a one year warranty any issues either go back to where you got it or call them and they will replace it at no cost.

I was going by the FAQ on their site. I'll have to call em. Been wanting my case replaced for some time. Rubber case is loose. Screen cover is scratched.

I couldn't make the transition to android. Too clumsy and frustrating. My boss is giving me another 4s on Friday. Love my 5 though, just enough screen but not clumsy.

I almost went with the Note 1 but the SG3 was more advanced. The Note 2 is out now of course and I think it's as good or better than the SG3. It is a big aircraft carrier of a device though. After having the SG3 for awhile now in its defender case, it's big enough for me. I can barely run it with one hand. I'd have to be pro B Ball player size to do that with the Note.:what:

Otterbox warranty is AWESOME for the Defender case. I sent them an Email on Monday and buy friday I had a UPS truck droping off a whole new case in the package. I think thier case is Awesome.
I need a new phone and like the size of the note2 and the pen. I was so let down by the Iphone5.

I had an old 3G (not S)... it was about to quit... needed re-booting regularly. I waited until the 5 came out and was diss-a-pointed. Quickly, the decision came down to S-3 or Note-2... Note 2 is not that much larger than S-3. Generally speaking: Note 2 does everything the S-3 does, with the S-pen apps built in.

After having it a few days, I find the Samsung/Android platform is more like a PC you build your software as you want it (whereas IOS is more a buy it-use it as is-platform with apps).

Here are some things that stick out in my mind:
*The phone is BIG... one has to learn to accommodate that 'feature'.
*The big screen is wonderful when you need it; and it is the right aspect ratio for HD viewing. The pixel count is the same as the S-3, so the pixel density is not quite as tight as some phones... my eyes are too old to see the difference.
*The phone does not fit in one's pocket easily, in this regard it is kinda clumsy. I am still looking for the right case... probably go with a horizontal belt pouch.
*Samsung phones do not come with a cool voicemail client like iphones do... one has to go with that hokey mess the carrier offers (in my case AT&T) where you touch a keypad number to erase or save messages. I read somewhere VM clients are available as an app.
*In the same was, texting is kinda hokey on the phone. Texting client apps are available also.
*Phone does not come with a stock quote app... lots available to download.
*Phone DOES come with a link to tutorials online (watch on phone or PC) as well as help screens in the phone... learning curve is not that hard.
*I do not do much with music on the phone, however x-fering stuff regardless of platform is not hard now-a-days.
*Any quad-core processor phone will be FAST, so one has lots of choices.
*The reason I went with the Note 2 is the S-pen features; nice way to shuffle data around.
*Also, with a 64G memory card installed (micro SD card, goes in the back), one has 80G of memory... one can store endless files of IOM manuals, wiring diagrams, custom spreadsheets of info, word files, a load calc program... as well as pics and video's to use as sales tools. In this regard, the larger screen is good for customers. One could theoretically modify a Word file, save it, Email it to the customer, print it on their computer, and use that as a contract. Phone comes with a simple program to view/edit Word and EXcel files... I think DOC and SL, not DOCx and XLx though.
*Sound through speaker is better than the iphone 3G was... one can actually hear it in public...
*With the right plan from AT&T or Verizon, one can tether a laptop or other device.
*Bluetooth of all kinds of devices is available.

Would I guy it again... probably
Would I recommend it... maybe. I say maybe because of the size... takes some getting used to.

Hope this helps.
