Since my experience with my infuse was so horrible and I mean horrible (replaced 5 times) they are allowing me to upgrade my second line early so I figured I'd spend it on the Gnote, my primary line is up next January so I figured the note will hold me over for 11 months. How good is it? I've played with one briefly the other day and really liked it.

Its great so far , get it. You have 30 days to play with it just in case.
I'd like to think the abundance of positive threads in this forum attest to what a wonderful device it really is. I am absolutely in love with this phone, and haven't felt this way since the first time I played with an iPhone back in 2009.
Best device I've ever owned. No complaints at all

Good to hear...I just hope I doesn't look like I'm smuggleing Mac and cheese when I'm tooting this bad boy in my pocket.

You won't be sorry! I came from an iPhone 4S and I'm not sure the camera is quite as good but its still excellent. And the rest of the phone is far better! I'm in love with the screen and I'm just beginning to get the hang of editing pictures with the S-Pen. It's an awesome phone! I ordered two extra batteries and a wall charger from Amazon to go with it so that I'm never stuck to a wall.
I came from an lg nitro HD and this phone is awesome.I smile every time I pull it out of my pocket. And something really cool that I just noticed is that Swype rocks with the s-pen.

I really like my note alot, perfect size IMO. I have no problem going from my ipad2 to my note but using my note then picking up my Atrix or iphone4 and they look tiny!
Just a random thought again...from watching various reviews of the size of the Note and it's use for making phone calls I am feeling 2 camps....
1) Do I look funny? Are people mocking and pointing fingers at me? I'm embarassed.
2) I'm one bad ass dude...that's right!
Which are you? Which do you want to be?
I dont see why anyone gives a flying f what you have up to your ear. I would laugh at someone with an iphone just because its a fad phone. 98% of the iphone users dont have a clue why its a good phone.
I might have a big head but I don't feel weird holding this awesome piece of technology next to my ear. Nothing to be embarrassed about.
Same here, nothing but pride..
If your so conceited as to think people are watching you and care enough to laugh at how large the phone is that you hold to your head, you have much bigger issues. See what I did there?
I couldn't care less.

I actually used it to my ear much more than the speaker and so far, no one gave a tiny rat's ass in a room full of people at a dental office. People care way too much about what people think these days. The phone is actually not That big. It only seems that way because we live in an iPhone world where 3.5 inch screens are classified as normal.
-On another NOTE, Samsung goes 5.3"
Still have my Iphone4, and would hardly call it a fad phone. I went with the Note only because of the larger screen, and it turns out that I absolutely love the Note too.
The Iphone has better apps available, it is very smooth, and it always works, so I can't knock it at all.

Recently, I was eligible for an early upgrade. My Galaxy S II was just a bit too small, so it came down to the Note, and the Skyrocket. In the end , I chose the Skyrocket, because the Note was not a one handed phone. The Skyrocket is a perfect size for my large hands. I'm not going to say the Note is too big a phone; it's just too big for me.

I owned a 3g and ip4 for a good 2+ years....so was very used to it.
HOWEVER, I laughed at myself today...at BestBuy I saw a display for a Blood Pressure arm band attached to a small, dinky looking device.
After staring at the device, i paused, laughed almost out loud and realized it was an iPhone...I had to do a double take just to make sure...it seemed so miniature.

That's the mentality of iPhone users lol !!! you can't say anything negative about the product.
Me and there of my friends at work have a friendly phone war going on. Two have Androids and the other two have iPhones. We're always trying to "out feature" each other. They had to admit that they both were thinking of switching to Android when we finished with them.
It's funny watching iPhone users looking at the screen 2 inches from their face.... Haha.

Def the big screen. Being able to put a iPhone 3g next to it and the notes screen being as wide as the iPhone is long. Gorilla glass is awesome I have dropped it numerous times on concrete and it has survived.

+1 on the big screen. Though I just bought a GNex, my note will remain my primary device solely because of its size. And I just got my mom a GS3, again, I would still pick my Note over that purely because of the screen. I won't jump ship to the Note 2, again because of the screen, that 16:9 ratio just isn't as appealing (yes I know my nexus is 16:9, but its a freaking nexus, as a backup/dev phone). Until Samsung gets back on track with the 16:10 for the future Note line, I will cherish this beast until it craps out a long time from now.
I also always enjoy showing people how great of phones Samsung makes. It's funny how many iPhone users are amazed by this thing. "Is that your phone? How do you like it? Does it fit in your pocket? Really, 720p? It has a stylus too? LTE speeds? And you can customize it that much? Damn." Then I tell them to hand me their phone for a second, and show them how the iPhone 4 fits completely within just the screen of my Note, and that's just the icing on the cake. They always end up thinking this phone is awesome.

The huge screen is why I've wanted it since it first came out & it's exactly as great as I thought it'd be, but now that I actually have the phone I'm incredibly impressed with the speed & smoothness of it, especially with ICS. The camera is fast & I don't get the annoying pink spot in the center of all my pics like with my GSII. Call quality is great too, everyone sounds so much clearer & people have been commenting on how much clearer I sound too(though that may be partly due to AT&T). And HOLY CRAP I love the stylus. Side note- I find it kind of funny how back when PDA phones first came out people used to ***** about the styluses, but now they're coming back into fashion. It's probably the best phone I've ever had
So, my friend (she's an iZombie of course) just asked if my phone was the "S4 Note".
I know this probably more because of Samsung's S4 fragmentation with the zoom/active/mini etc. models but I have noticed I've gotten quite a few funny comments/questions about this device, and so far no where to share it in my favorite XDA section!
Some of you must have a few humorous comments that you've received, post them here and share the laughs. :laugh:

You look like you're holding an iPad Mini to your ear (on days that I forget my BT Ear Piece)
Why are you using a tablet to take pictures (but that usually stops once they see the pics and I don't have to do endless scrolling on websites)
Apple is Innovative, just look at my perfectly sized 4" screen, to which I usually reply,,,,Android was innovative in 2010 when they started having 4" screens, and you don't see me having any issues holding my 5.5" phone.

I occasionally get the "wow is that thing big" but alot of people around here either have a s3 s4 or note 2 so it doesn't really phase them. When i first got it is when I got alot of comments because it was still so new. A friend of mine asked me to see it (when a hot girl asks for your phone you just hand it over hahaha) but she is tiny, by tiny I mean 4'10" and maybe 110lbs. Well it truly looked like she was holding a tablet. Haha. That's when I saw how big it is. But I can never go back to a smaller phone now.
