Samsung Galaxy Note Review Part 2
Android Market
Android: Aaron reviews the giant Samsung Galaxy Note, a hybrid between a smartphone and tablet. Galaxy Note offers a 1.4 GHz dual-core Exynos CPU, 5.3-inch Super AMOLED HD (800×1280) display, 8-megapixel camera with 1080p HD video recording, 2-megapixel front-facing shooter, a large 2500 mAh battery, and Android 2.3 with TouchWiz 4.0. It’s coming soon to AT&T (with 4G LTE on board), but you can purchase the international version online at various retailers. It’s a big phone, but choice is always good. All things considered, is this the best Android device out there? We’ll take a look. Part 2 of 2.

Verizon’s Statement On New Data Plan Policies
We just learned about Verizon killing off their unlimited data plans for users that have been grandfathered in. Now we’re getting some clarification from Verizon about the changes and their new push toward shared data plans.
As we have stated publicly, Verizon Wireless has been evaluating its pricing structure for some time. Customers have told us that they want to share data, similar to how they share minutes today. We are working on plans to provide customers with that option and will introduce new plans later this year.
When the new options are introduced, Unlimited Data will no longer be available to our customers purchasing handsets and signing a new contract. Customers who choose to purchase phones at full retail price and are currently on an unlimited smartphone data plan will be able to keep that plan. The same pricing and policies will apply to all 3G and 4GLTE smartphones.
We will share specific details of the plans well in advance of their introduction so customers will have time to evaluate the plans and make the best decisions for their wireless service. It is our goal and commitment to continue to provide customers with the same high value service they have come to expect from Verizon Wireless.
So basically, anyone currently on an unlimited plan can keep it as long as they don’t sign a new contract. This means they have to either keep their current device, or buy any new devices off contract for full price. Many people won’t be able to afford non-subsidized devices so they’ll be forced to sign a new contract and lose their unlimited plan when they decide they want to upgrade their phones. Not the best news, surely, but at least they’re not just shutting it down completely.

Leaked images of Sprint’s upcoming LG Eclipse 4G LTE: NFC and removable battery on board
Whispers of an LG Android powerhouse heading to Sprint have been circulating on the web as of late. We have even seen some purported pics of the back of the LG Eclipse 4G LTE and now, courtesy of our friends at Briefmobile, we have some snapshots of under the hood. For a phone that is rumored to only be 8.6 mm thick, it’s a pleasant surprise to see that users will be graced with a removable battery. I, personally, prefer this as if I were unlucky enough to get a bum battery in my shiny new phone and were to only realize it after my return period, I have to immediately exchange my new phone for a refurbished one because I am unable to remove the battery.
We can also see that NFC technology will be on board for those of you that really want to squeeze out as much function as possible from your smartphone. All in all, this LG Android offering is looking to be one heck of a device! Here’s to hoping that the Sprint rumors and true and that the Now Network will be getting this bad boy sometime in Q4. Anyone thinking about holding off on the HTC Evo 4G LTE or the Samsung Galaxy SIII for this LG mammoth?

Best Buy Updates Pre-Order Status Of HTC Evo 4G LTE To May 23rd
The HTC Evo 4G LTE is currently stuck in U.S. Customs (thanks, Apple), delaying the May 18th launch on Sprint. Customers who pre-ordered from Best Buy are now receiving emails updating them of their order status, stating a new release date of May 23rd.
Interestingly, HTC wasn’t as date specific as Best Buy in their statement:
HTC is working closely with U.S. Customs to secure approval for shipments of the HTC One X and HTC EVO 4G LTE. We have not made any announcements about a new launch date and will provide an update on availability as soon as we can do so confidently.
Best Buy setting a May 23rd date does not guarantee a release on that day. Until the phones are released from U.S. Customs no one can be sure of when the phones will make it stateside.

Does my Android smartphone really need 2 GB RAM?
Last week LG revealed the Optimus LTE2 for Korea, the first phone with 2 GB RAM (random-access memory). Now this week we learned that the Samsung Galaxy S III headed to Japan will also feature 2 GB RAM. We don’t know when either of these models will make their way to the US, but it’s a clear signal that most high-end smartphones in the second half of 2012 will feature twice the memory of today’s flagship devices.
We still don’t know the specs of our carrier versions of the Galaxy S III, so that could end up being the first phone to see 2 GB RAM in the US. The Wall St. Journal also says the Optimus LTE2 is coming to LTE networks in America, but no partners have been announced.
So why exactly does your Android smartphone need 2 GB RAM? We have never seen an Android device with 2 GB RAM so we don’t know exactly how it will affect the user experience, but we can take a few guesses based on what we know of PCs.
Generally speaking, more RAM does not always make your computer faster, but it does allow it do more things at once. Hopefully we will see increased multi-tasking performance when using multiple Android apps. Opening multiple tabs in the Chrome browser should also be improved. Maybe web pages with Flash will not suck (yeah right). And hopefully Google can lock the home screen in memory so we don’t experience that lag as we wait for our launcher to load.
The underlying Linux kernel that Google uses for Android can surely address 2 GB RAM, but we really won’t know what to expect until we spend some quality time with one of these new devices.
My hope is that the extra memory will bring Android even closer to the true desktop experience that we have been waiting for. Android 4.0 can almost replace a PC right now and Motorola is pushing the limits with Webtop 3.0, but it’s not quite “good enough” just yet. Most users spend the majority of their desktop time in the browser, and that can still be sluggish on today’s hardware.
Google IO is just a month away and we should see new software (Jelly Bean) and hardware, so maybe more details will be revealed soon. In the mean time, let us know how you would like Google and their partners to take advantage of the increased memory.
