How do you like the size? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Hi, what you guys think about the size?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium

Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have no problem with the size. It's great. Although some of the widgets looks small on that big screen. I don't have that gorilla hands, so I get short reaching the upper part of the screen when holding it both hands.

Awesome size! Can see a lot of stuff.

Might be too big. I'll have to use it awhile.

My SGS2 seems soo small now. Its kinda of funny. Almost like iPhone size lol

Believe it or not, it is actually SMALLER that the Dell Streak with an Otterbox case.
Had gotten used to the Streak over the past 16 months so this new one is a real treat in size as well as everything else.

Size
It is big even coming from the SkyRocket however function is great.
Honestly the Note has me looking ahead to an edge to edge screen which will reduce the width by 1/4" and height by 1/2". That is where the technology for screens is going and that will be perfect.
But after 12 hours I love it the only reason to return it will be the minors Lags but we should see that go away with Rooting and freezing the BS.

Love the size of the note. Definitely i can't operate with one hand but i can live with it.

I love the size. Watching movies on it is beautiful and I find it easier to type with two thumbs on the Note than I did on my Inspire.

I freaking love the size. Browsing is amazing on this thing. I'm actually using it to find a new place to live. Viewing pictures, reading descriptions, sending e-mails. Makin' it happen from my huge awesome phone/mini-tablet.

The screen is beautiful but my fingers growing longer

Uh - oh . ...durty word violation.. I can't bring myself to repeat it but you know which one, that.... i-word. Shame, shame on you! Let's keep it clean in here alright.
Joking aside, I'm finding the keyboard to be just right for two thumb input.

The Note is very awesome

Got to compare the Galaxy Nexus, the Skyrocket, and the Note at CES, and I have to say the Note is my absolute favorite.
It has completely wrecked smaller form factor phones for me . Screen is amazing. Watching HD video on it was gorgeous! LTE was really fast. I was getting 35mbps in the building there. S-Pen works pretty well, I guess it would be kinda useful, but more so to just play around with. Phone is massive. It was really nice as you get a lot of room to move your fingers and be more precise.
When it gets ICS it will be like really awesome!
So ya thats all I have to say.
I think I need to stay away from these forums until friday!

I am using this advanced hand writing recognition app to write this . It takes a little getting used to and is a bit expensive, ten dollars, but I am enjoying writing with it. A nice feature is that it seems to get more accurate the more you use it.

Thanks for pointing this app out DDog!! This app is awesome. It took a few tries to get comfortable with it but after about an hour with it through random emails and a few text messages I rarely have to correct any words that I write. Messages are going out so much faster now!
. giving this a shot
Same here. I hope it does work better than the stock input method.... dont like hitting space each time.
Its a bit better but they should have it where u can keep writing instead of hitting add when u run out of space
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Have any of you used Swype or any similar keyboards - I tired this yesterday, got immediately annoyed at how bad it did and went back to swype that to me is MUCH faster than writing.
Of course I am a lefty so that might have something to do with it - lefties can't write for cr-p. Me included! .

Stop being douchebags.
I am a lefty and love it for most things.The learning goes both ways. For some reason it is not very good with upper case cursive. My main gripe though is there is no lefty version so my hand covers the text screen.

Why is it over priced?
What if your boss said to you, "you know, we're not gonna pay you for ten of the hours you worked this week", I imagine you'd be pretty upset. Essentially it's stealing because you're getting something that normally he'd get paid for.

Not really. They're offering a product that they feel is worth X amount of dollars. I would love DW contacts but am not willing yo pay 10 or 15 dollars for it. But justifying that they are stealing because they're charging too much so I can steal it is the same as taking money from your employer because you don't feel they pay you enough

If you fill the screen and then move your pen to the left of the little arrow and keep writing it does this. Just write over what you already wrote and it adds text automatically.

Drawsomething

Best game ever for GNote in android market. Look it up "drawsomething"
Turn based charades with drawing. Pen works flawlessly. In the free version the on screen ad is ridiculously small.

check check the Note app/theme forum, get more usernames and info there
it was one of the first games brought up since we note users can take advantage of the pen
Yeah.. I kinda chimed into the conversation a little late. If you could believe it i hadn't even heard of the note till Feb. 22. I bought it Feb. 25th. Traded my iphone 4 just for my friends upgrade.

Man I miss my note!

So I went from my ATT Note to BB8130 on VZW and found that had just traveled back in time to a time and place where things just werent easy nor connected.
I begged my friends for loaners and got the Droid X again on VZW and still no signal....but atleast is android...I don't feel too bad.
But the screen size, the crispness of that screen, and the Samsung calendar are features I mess greatly.....and I can't believe I'm saying this but the ATT network is what I miss most!
So now trying to switch either back to the Note or a GS3....
O yeohh AT&T is f****good network I. Have at&t for 10 year not problems.

I have the note and I'm super happy with it, but my gf got the sgs3 and I been playing around and is really sweet, you can't go wrong with either but the note screen size and the spen is the main reason I prefer mine. The pebble blue in Canada for the s3 is sexy as hell

I'm not too happy with AT&T's network in my area at the moment. The cell towers can't keep up with all the tourism. A few months ago I could easily get 49Mb/sec down, but now I'm lucky if I get 400Kb/sec, or even a data connection at all. Ugh.
Wouldn't trade mine for any other phone out. Will switch this for the note 2!

Yeah I like the gs3, the fact I have the spen a great screen and amazing pictures and video the gs3 is only a hairline better mainly because of it 2gb of ram and qualcoms s4 instead of the s3, so point of the story I would never leave my phone get back to the note we got ics and develop is soon to be taken off if it hasn't already

That's too big. I have a 7" tablet and I couldn't imagine lugging it around all the time or talking/texting on it. Plus I have to have an otterbox defender on everything I own and it would be crazy huge.
They should make a 5.5" phone and the normal 7/8.? & 10 inch tablets.
OK, we do not need any of that type of discussion regarding size issues on a personal matter, if you need to comment on your self, then maybe some inadequacy is involved, never the less it is not needed, that type of posting.
Thank You and Thread Cleaned.

I'm ready to see some more phablet competition as well. Seeing as I probably will never get a phone that is smaller than the Note 1, I am kinda stuck with the Note line. I don't really like how the Note 2 got thinner but, what choice do I have if I want to upgrade?
I feel the same way... but i do want a n4 since its already subsidized and i can save my upgrade

I thought that will be the only difference. Samsung is rumored to come out with a unbreakable phone soon.....maybe the S3. Which leads people to think that they will be using the new Flex screens and full screen display to make it possible. Can you imagine a 6"3 inch pure screen phone? Sounds amazing!
Flexible eh? Wearing it like a watch? lol~

No no no... they already showed off a demo of a phone that flexes. It means the screen can't crack and curves.

That would be pretty cool to see it on the next Note. But this is all rumors...Let the speculation begin. LOL I can see this thread having a lot of pages
