Hi, is anyone thinking of returning the Note because of it's BIG SIZE?
I can't get use to the SIZE.

How long have you even had it?
My HD2 took about a week to really get used to.
...you got a device that you knew was bigger. why would anyone that actually researched this return it based on a static variable like size
not returning this baby.

lol, so true.
We all got this thing partly because it IS so big, it's like returning a GN because it runs ICS...
You got 30 days, I would use 29 of those before deciding
I'm actually using the next 27 days to decide whether or not I can get used to the size -- which also gives me a chance to see what new AT&T phones get announced at MWC... if any?
That said, my impressions so far: this phone is f'n gorgeous, it's fast/smooth as hell (especially overclocked to 1.8+), and I'm currently leaning toward keeping it regardless of what they show at MWC!

I think there are more owners here who bought it BECAUSE of its size.
There's a few annoyances and sometimes the size makes it hard to do some things one handed, but those are minor compared to the benefits. I have always used my smartphones as a mobile computing device first and a phone second, so for me I wanted the largest pocketable phone with the best display. The Note beats everything hands down in that way.
Yesterday I picked up my 4.3" HTC Inspire and it felt tiny in comparison. I can never go back to a smaller display now. Like I said, there are some trade-offs with a device this bug, but the benefits far outweigh the negatives as far as I'm concerned.
I got this phone yesturday and it's really really sweet. Its a keeper. Had a nexus 1 for a few years.
I would never think about returning it or getting used to my little gs2 again
Unless there is a super shocker of a Note 2 with beefed up hardware at MWC or something as big, I don't think anything could pull me away. Honestly, I would pick the size of this phone over the next small screen quad cores (for right now at least ).
back to the OP's question...sure i've thought about returning it samoevn. it is larger in my pockets than i had imagined, not the most practical in that respect. for me though the pro's are outweighing the impracticality of fitting it in my pockets comfortably. it is only uncomfortable when i kneel down to tie my shoes or work on someone's carpet in my carpet cleaning business, so several times a day it is an annoyance.

Return it and wait for the GSIII if that's how you feel..
Thanx for the reply's guys
I definitely will return it, if we have the Note 5.7" out. Definitely
After having the international Galaxy SII I decided that it was the best phone out there, and I would not replace it until the SIII came out. LG and HTC phone just don't impress me. Then I read about the upcoming NOTE, and I thought wow, I'm getting that phone on launch day, and so I did. The screen size and resolution alone is why I bought my galaxy note. I'm keeping mine awhile.

Maybe because where I work I'm not allowed to have my cell phone but seeing people on their personal phones while working irritates the hell out of me. I understand if its a work phone but God damnit you have 8 hours or so that someone is paying you to work not play angry birds or words with friends.

Mine was actually a given to me, so I don't really have to worry about taking it back within a specific time frame.
That being said, I still have my Skyrocket and I can always go back to that. Truth is, though, I can't imaging going back to a smaller device, even for the ability to one-hand text. And battery life is so much better on my Note than it was on my Skyrocket.

After using the Note for a week. I took out my ATT 4.3" Galaxy S2 (used for 3 months before the Note) and BAMMMM, "what is this phone? Is it my phone before? I remembered it was big, Is it shrink? Am i holding a a toy phone? Tons of question just jump out. I seriously was shock for 5 seconds and i can believe in my eyes.
Just would like to share my thought. I was commit myself to go with Samsung S3->S4.... But now i think i have a new buddy: the Note
Ps: I got a small hand but this Note was amazing and has phone and tablet feature. I'm happy with my purchase.
I had the 4S for a month when it came out. now whenever I hold a friends it legit feels like a toy. I'm like how did I EVER use this small ass screen haha so I know where your coming from!
My skyrocket looks tiny now to me....lol
Same here. Went from the Atrix. Now when I hold the Atrix or even my classic IPod, I feel like I am holding a toothpick.

After playing with a Note for about 15 minutes, my Infuse now seems so small and svelte. Playing with my buddy's iPhone 4 is ridiculous. I thought that the Infuse was awesome, and didn't think that any manufacturer would go much larger for a screen, so I figured that the Infuse's 4.5" screen was the biggest I was going to get, and I was only hoping for the 4.65" screen of the Galaxy Nexus to be on my next phone. Little did I know, the Note was on it's way, and its 5.3" screen is perfect for my hands, as I can reach all corners of the device one handed, although any bigger and it would start being a stretch. I feel like the Note was custom tailored to my hands, and I know that once I have it, it will be impossible to go any smaller for a device. My infuse just feels cramped now, and the screen seems so pixelated. Samsung already had my complete loyalty due to their Super AMOLED screens, and now that the Note is here, they will need to continue it as a line of devices in the future for me to ever be happy again with mobile devices. I really hope the Note turns into a parallel line to the Galaxy S series for Samsung, as the Galaxy S series is great, just not large enough anymore nw that the Note is out. I will be a Note user for life so long as they keep putting out new versions with the same size form factor.
I think my gn is huge already .

Whether it's possible or not is ultimately up to you. You have 30 days to give it a trial from your purchase date, I suggest using your Note for most of that. I think that you will find that you can get used to it. You definitely won't have the one-handed ability that you find in your Cappy, but I think that the added utility and beastly specs will overtake that one advantage that the Cappy has.
Also, think abut it this way, and try using your phone accordingly:
When is a time where you truly need to use your device with one hand? Yes, it is convenient, but is it ever really a necessity? That text or email or phone call can wait a couple minutes until you have your hands free. Just use your phone when you have the time and ability to do so.
I see so many people trapped in their phones, trying to multitask, and failing horribly. We must remember that there is a world around us, and that if we can't devote full attention to the phone, you probably don't need to use it. Two hands may be necessary at times for this phone, so simply don't use it unless you have both hands, and enjoy the world around you. =]
Unfortunately, not everybody is blessed with hands as big as mine, where they can wield this weapon one-handed. =/
I find that I can hold this comfortably in one hand. Then use my other hand for Swyping. my inspire is definitely to small now. (I'm a girl with regular sized hands. Hold it and the bottom, buy the top 40% or so above my grip)

and i was like the above samsung galaxy s2 user, i had the sprint version, so screen was even bigger (4.52"). I was content with that and thought manufacturers wouldnt go higher than that. The galaxy nexus did, but only by a lil bit. But the note takes the cake. 4.5" is really the biggest non-note phone out,but seems realllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly small now, after only a week!!
I was just holding my skyrocket and omfg it felt so effing smal lol and when i first got it i was like this phones massive the note has changed me foreverl
It took me less then a day to not only get use to the size but realize that i will not be going to a smaller phone.
Bring on the Note 2!!

same here.
i finally upgraded from my aria after spending around a month debating between the note or the nexus.
after around 3 hours i was completely used to the size of the note and i dont even notice it anymore except in the few cases where i may be unbalanced in one handed use.
I came from the Inspire too, it's now in my closet in case I "need" a backup phone. The Note truly fills the void between needing a phone and a tablet.

Hi, today I switched from Sprint to AT&T after waiting for the samsung galaxy SIII to come out on Sprint decided to get the Note on AT&T. I know the hardware on the Note is older but I really needed a bigger screen and only the Note will provide that.
What do you guys think?, did I did the right thing to dump the SIII for the Note???
You are asking this question on Note forum so the answer may be one sided to note. It's all depending on the size of the phone. If you like the big screen, there's no other phone come close to note. Hardware may be a bit older than s3 but with custom Rom and a bit tweaking, it is as fast as s3. I have almost zero lag on mine with flap rom. Most of the s3 softwares are also ported so you can find svoice, smart stay etc that are floating on xda and ready to use.

Thank you. that's what I was talking about. I like and need the big screen due to my sight. was not too impress with the SIII screen wich looks more rectangular than square. I'm punish now with a AT&T prepay phone due to an error the salesman did with my credit card wich he locked up in a transaction so I have to wait until tomorrow that everything is clear and pick up my Note.
I came from sprint as well and I dearly miss unlimited data (even if it isn't really all that unlimited). Other than that I am very happy with at&t.

FINALY!!!! I GOT MY NOTE TODAY!!!!!::victory:. I was using a cheap Go phone until my credit clear and now REJOYCE!!!!!!!!!!!.
Former epic (not touch) addict
Definitely glad to have my note, but now I'm curious what family the note hardware is in - I had assumed it was a galaxy SII class device, where do we fit in?
It is similar to the SII (S2) - the OP is referring to the SIII - that's the S3
To the OP:
Your question is based largely on opinion and not fact. Firstly, welcome. I am also a Sprint defector who left in March so I could get the Note, and hopefully, better service. So far, the service slaughters Sprint ... as does pretty much everything else.
Next, there really isn't a right or wrong answer as to what phone is better, when comparing the GNote and S III. You'll find some people who are spec whores and it doesn't matter how useful/useless a spec or feature is, as long as it's more impressive on paper or when uttered, it will be the say all to end all for them. Other people look at features that may better for THEM, regardless if technically the specs aren't as good.
Some people will like the S III because of its faster processor and better camera features and ICS. Plus, some will choose the S III because of its smaller form factor. Others (like me) will choose the GNote because the large screen is unmatched and the most important thing to me ... ICS isn't a big deal to me, the phone functions wonderfully without it. And I love the S-Pen. Not to mention I find the GNote to be crazy beautiful in design, whereas I find the S III to be relatively ugly. All of these things make the GNote the better phone FOR ME.
With all things considered, I don't think you'll go wrong with either phone. I'm sticking to the GNote series, though. I may have to look for another phone if the GNote 2 really does end up looking like the unattractive S III, and if it's not as wide as the original GNote.
^^^well said!
I also came from Sprint, and am very pleased with the note and the service.
My opinion is...........
Quad/dual core processors are great, but the average user doesn't need more than one core. Unless you're gaming, making music or media editing all you need is a decent amount of RAM. Don't let the smooth taste fool ya =P I like the specs on this phone, but the biggest selling point for me was the screen size.
Like the last guy said you will be pleased with either device Imo, but get the one that fits you.

First, thank's for your opinion. I agree with what you have said. it's a matter of personal taste. for me any phone with 1 Gig of more of processing power is ok, I chose the Note because the screen size. on Sunday I saw the SIII at the store and althou it look good did not impress me much. I still would like the personal opinions of users of the Note. any info will be valuable to me.

I read it's supposed to be a 5.5" screen so it will be slightly larger (different aspect ratio).
I read that the device will be slightly smaller than the Note, bit will have a slightly bigger screen. So it seems it will be more space efficient.

Slightly bigger 5.5" screen (most likely taller) with a 16:9 aspect ratio ... but the screen will not be as wide as the current Note. That was a big selling point for me. I don't want a slimmer screen.

with the great dev's we have on this phone, most of us have been running ICS for weeks/months now, so thats not even an issue.
this phone is as fast as you could want, and the screen just kills..Spen is a great tool as well, phone calls are loud and clear.
and, after suffering with Sprints horrific network problems over the last 10 year, ATT speeds and QOS are a tremendous "upgrade"
Pleasure or business, this is THE phone to have, IMO

You mean 16:9 aspect ratio? Regardless, I agree about not wanting a narrower phone even if it means a larger screen. That info actually helped me to finally pull the trigger on one recently.
My initial impression is very positive. The display is amazing, 4G is blazing fast, and an unexpected benefit has been better phone reception than my Nexus One.
My complaint is the Note seems a little laggy out of the box but that's without rooting or ROMing, just the addition of Go Launcher. And it's minor enough that I'm holding off rooting at least until the OTA ICS update.
It's practically a cliche at this point, but like everyone else, I could never go back to a smaller display. And I personally don't find the phone hard to operate one-handed.
I bought this phone for thinking for using 2 years, but surprisingly nobody really cares about this phone. Obviously, it's not as hot or great as galaxy s3. I'm not sure if I made the right choice. Are you all thinking keeping it?

Agree 100%. I stuck with my Eris for quite a while because I loved that I could just drop it into my pocket & hardly feel it. I got used to the 4" screen on the Dinc2 & played with all the big ones before I got my Inc4. 3.5 to 4" is my sweet spot. I hope this isn't the last medium-to-high end device of this size.

to me 4 inch screen is perfect, i prefer it to the 4.3-4.7 ones out there...i have a tablet if i want to browse/game on a huge screen and to me those mid 4 sizes arent big enough to replace using a tablet
the only bigger screen id consider is a galaxy note type one 5.3+ where i can actually use it as a phone/tablet since the screen is big enough

I really dont think that is necessary at this size. Until i put the phone so close to my eyes that they start to cross i cannot see individual pixels. At normal viewing distance the screen is razor sharp
having owned the Inc1, Eris, i cant remember their dimensions, man the inc1 was a great candy bar like phone for after the Eris-where it all began for me.
anyway, the inc2 was just a perfect phone and will most likely always be on my favorite list of phones. The build quailty was superb.
Having owned the Rezound + and the Gnex, I got the gnex first (coming from and iphone4 (x-mas gift, lol) + inc2 for the Gnex.
I love it for about a week. It was fun to play with AOSP and ICS was new at the time.(before BAMD Paradigmn was even released), and then I just coulndt handle it for my everyday use and movement, it was too wide of a phone IMO, so I traded the Gnex for a Rezound, if the Gnex had the body of the Rezound but with the Gnex slimness, I would have love that phone.
So there I was in the Rezound community, making great friends and not-so-great friends.
This phone will get good attention once things start rolling.
It's unfortunate that Verizon locked us out, so I have 3 inc4gs and only one is unlocked, fV<*ing sucks. (waiting on S-OFF crew to e-mail to begin work, BTW) but that IMO 100% will be back, it just depends when
what's great though, is the Rezound was not that great of a phone until about 2 months before S-OFF came, and it took 6 months before anyone even TALKED about support S-OFF for the Rez. Once that happened it blew up, and unfortunately with their forums I would say, well, in the worst way possible.
For us though, we went into this as a community knowing that they are providing their time to possibly bring us full radio S-OFF which is what really makes the phone, and we did this within 4 hours. that is simply amazing!
Anyway sorry to get off track, I personally think once we get root back and (knock on wood) S-OFF, this phone is going to take over a new life of it's own and in a good way I very much so hope.
The Inc2 community was Gold as Rezound was a 0.
I think we are going to be a very good community that will provide quality products.
"the waiting is hard f**king takes soo long" -kyuss
but patience is a virtue.
No surprise.
Everytime I turn on the tv, I see a SG3 commercial. You were able to order it and still keep unlimited (without any extra steps). Its marketed as the top of the line phone.
On the other hand for the Inc4g, I have seen zero commercials. Even in the news, I saw a little bit about when they announced it months ago, but almost nothing when it actually came out. It came out right after the unlimited grandfathering went away. Almost all the reviews say the phone is "mediocre" mostly due to the hype eventhough the two have almost the same hardware.
In the end it comes down to marketing. If you do a great job marketing / creating hype, like with the iphone and the SG3, you'll get lots of interest. On the other hand, if you do absolutely nothing to market the phone then no one will care either because they don't know about the existance of the phone or people think it sucks. Remember the average person dosen't know anything about technology and basically depend on marketing to tell them what to buy. Even for those of us that are more tech savy, its hard to see through the hype sometimes.
I guess I'm surprised why HTC and/or Verizon would spend so much money developing a new phone and not choose to market it. Maybe the profit margin on the SG3 is alot higher.

almost the same hardware? The s3 has 2GB ram, and an amoled screen, not to mention a huge one, really the only similarity Is the CPU and CDMA/LTE

There already is one The One S on T-Mobile.
I think I'm happy with my 4.0" screen and certainly didn't want some huge 4.7 or 4.8er, but part of me wishes VZW had just let HTC put out the 4.3" One S on their network as well.
Just curious to see how former S3 owners are enjoying their Note 2. I'm on the fence right now, the size is not a big deal as I feel I can adapt to it pretty quickly. The bigger screen size and multi view options really interest me. What were the big drivers for you to jump from the S3 to the Note 2? How would you compare the experiences?
TIA
I had the s3 and I'd say it would be like comparing a wrx to the st or z06 to the zr1i. Both are awesome but one is just a little bit better. Bigger, faster, and just overall more awesomer lol. I like playing with the stylus, split screen, bigger screen plus I'm a phone whore so I'm always trading.

Me and the wife traded our GS3s for Note 2s... Love them

F'n love it! Battery is incredible (I'd say close to double the screen-on time). Multi window is really cool too, and with root you can get ALL apps loaded in it, where as with stock there were only like 6 apps available in multi window, which made it useless.
I'm actually liking the spen too (writing this post with it). Along with that, I also suggest the flygrip, it makes using this massive phone with one hand not only possible, but convenient and comfortable. It doubles as a kick stand too, which I like to do 180 portrait mode, and it sits firm where you can use the spen and hit menus/home button without it falling over. I actually used it on the S3 until I got my note, and I love it! I switched from T-Mobile to Verizon, so my network is 10 times better now as well.
The S3 is great, and if T Mobile lets me off the hook from my cancellation I'm still going to keep it for an mp3 player etc...but IMO this Note 2 blows it away with just the battery alone...which is crazy because the screen is way bigger AND way brighter. I couldn't even see my s3 if it was a halfway sunny day.
So yeah, you could say I'm a fan

Bigger screen. Faster. Better battery. S pen. Just awesome zero regrets taking my s3 back. Plus I had the "blue" one but the longer I had it the more it looked purple. If size is not a concern, get off the fence and get this bad boy.

I agree with everyone else, it doesnt seem like much of a step up but i assure you it most definitely is, and was well worth the wait!

Thanks for the feedback everyone, the battery life factor is something I forgot about it. Looks like I'm jumping the fence!
It is so much better! I still have my S3 so I can swap the SIM card and use whichever I chose, but I don't thing I will be using S3 very often. I may just use S3 like an iPod on Wi-Fi
Jump in! I truly loved my sg3... for 30 days I had it..lol. Note 2 came out on day 29 and I dropped by best buy just to see the "Beast" before my return date was up. Took one look and held it.. and that was it. Sg3 was awesome. Fast. Smooth and powerful. Note 2 is just a whole different world. Has completely changed my mobile computing/productivity. Had Droid X and tbolt (sigh) before sg3 so I was shockingly happy with it. But the Note 2 is literally unreal. Good luck and have fun!

Better battery life, brighter screen, 3g radio and signal is much improved(no data drops), gps locks faster, quad core...nuff said!
Wife and I bought s3 from craigslist and had them for 3 weeks then I got an upgrade from a friend of mine who purchased the note 2 . I love the gs3 on verizon but the note 2 is just like others have said, better battery and slightly faster. The gs3 is still a beast and ive recommended most of my friends and family to get the gs3. My wife is slightly jealous so I will probably end up giving her mine for a bit while I sell her gs3 to buy another note 2 full price.

For me it was when Mugen made a 6400mah battery for it. That's more power than my galaxy tab 7.7 which is only 5100mah. I like to read books on my tablet which is painful on my small rezound. I just have to figure on which color, I know crazy. I prefer black to grey, but white is selling for a higher price on ebay( now that's crazy).

I'm curious, what it a mint condition G3 going for on craigs list right now??
I have two mint condition G3's with extra batteries, extra backs and cases (including hyperion extended batts etc) that I want to sell but I'm not sure what they're worth??
I just sold mine last Friday on CL for $350. Probably could have got more but wanted a quick sale. Put it up Thursday evening after getting my N2 , gone Friday.

Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Its been a rather busy year for me on the phone front. I started the year off with a Thunderbolt, followed up by a Rezound, and then purchased Galaxy S3 in July.
Suffice to say the S3 was the best of the lot. When I got the S3, I thought I had found the promise of Android. Finally the OS had been optimized and I felt confident that I would keep the S3 for at least a year. Then came the Note 2, and a window of opportunity. I had an upgrade that I HAD to use before January (dont ask) and so I sold my S3 on Gazelle for almost 300 and put the order in.
I wont lie, initially and still it feels a little awkward handling the Note 2. Its big, its a lot bigger than the S3. The S3's ergonomics were spot on and like most any well designed phone you tend to forget your holding something. You just use the interface..the body goes away in the interaction. But with the Note 2 I haven't gotten there yet, I am still very aware that I'm working to grasp a device and the interface comes a second later.
There is a slight disconnect because you have to physically accommodate the phone ya know?
That being said there are a number of features in the Note 2 that go a very very long way to making you forgive (and maybe forget) its girth. The screen is just awesome, its the big screen jumbo man TV of the smartphone world. How can you hate that!? If you have any love for tech your drawn to it like moth to a flame. Its stunning. Watching YouTube in bed is like having my 58inch plasma on my chest...MWAHAAH!..I dunno..there's something about that. I dig it.
Also compared to the S3, its faster, the antenna seems to be better, and that has that fancy pen. Outside of that, there isn't much that makes this a giant leap from the S3. For me its really just about the screen and maybe the possibility of having a more capable hacked and overclocked quad core monster after I root it, but that is still a ways off.
Imo its just a bigger s3....I really don't get the big deal of multi view. I have no regrets though. I love it.
Please use this thread to discuss devices other than and any comparisons with other devices on or about the Note III in this thread and any other off-topic issues that are not needing a new thread.
Post with respect, this is a helpful community, hope we all learn from this stuff in here.
I would like to see peoples opinion's on the note 3 compared to the LG G2. I am on the fence on the two. Im coming from the S3 so the note will be quite large. Being on Verizon we dont have the Nexus 5 option so it seems it is up to these two devices. My main hesitation on the Note is how locked down it is. We might not get customs roms on it at all. The LG G2 has Loki so we are good to go on that one. Both of the build qualities are lacking so thats a wash.

I'm on the fence about mine. I got in on the Verizon unlimited data glitch and have a Note 3 coming.
I have a Note 2 and if not for the glitch wouldn't have considered upgrading. The Note 3 just didn't excite me enough to spend the money. I HATE pentile matrix screens and I felt like the move to 5.7" wasn't enough. I want something in the 5.9" to 6.1" range.
With California taxes I'm in for about $385, and I figure I could sell the Note III for $700ish. Then in a couple months I could sell my Note II for around $300 and have a nice little fund for a new device. What I really want is the HTC One Max, but who knows if Verizon will ever get it?
I don't know what to do.

The G2 is a really nice device. I hate the buttons on the back, but everything else about the physical form factor is great.
The screen is really nice, it's fast, excellent camera and battery life. I hate LG's skin, but with Nova you can cover up a lot, and now that it's Loki'd I figure it's only a matter of time before AOSP roms are available.

I have the LG spectrum and it's a great phone except for cheap sensors. Before I ever buy lg again I will install android sensors or sensor box on the store demo first. Cheap sensors have a lower range and/or operate erratically. I.e. Magnetic sensor: og Droid 0-2000, gs3 0-20000 and LG Spectrum 0-200!
What's it mean? Compass apps not reliable or accurate, Google sky map to jittery to use, auto brightness works poorly, when on call screen takes longer to turn on for the keypad, etc. At first I thought I had a lemon but LG insisted it was the applications.

contract up !!!! What to buy next?
My contract will be up soon. I am looking to replace Verizon samsung Galaxy Nexus which I loved. I was looking at the Note 3. I like the big screen.
I have a rooted phone and want to root this new phone. The main reason I root is for the hotspot feature. Anyone have any suggestions on what phone I should look at. I am using MIUI Android Rom right now. I would be open to even staying with original OS if it had everything I wanted.
Would also like a phone with a longer lasting battery.
Has the Note 2 had any problems I should be aware of?
Any help is appreciated.
I have time so I am willing to wait if there is a good recommendation. I also don't want a bigger screen. The note 3 size seems to be perfect.

The Note 2, frankly... is incredible. I've had the verizon note 2 for a year now and i'm dying for the note 3. my note 2 is practically my best friend at this point. I know i sound like such a fanboy but i literally just smile when my friends complain about their phones, mine never has any of their stupid issues.

I challenge you to take 2 1080p screens smaller than 6" and, without prior knowledge, tell anyone which is pentile and which is any other matrix with your naked eye.

I've had the Note2 for about six months... it is easily the best phone I've ever owned. Seriously, it absolutely blows the doors off the Galaxy Nexus, in performance, build quality, screen quality, battery, phone call quality... I wouldn't have upgraded to the Note3 if it wasn't for the Verizon glitch. ...that and my wife wanting my Note2!

I agree 100 %.
The Note 2 is BY FAR the best phone I've ever owned and I have basically owned every high end phone ever made.
The N2 is the first phone I have ever owned that I was 100% totally satisfied with and haven't been impatiently waiting for the next phone to come out for an upgrade.
I will still probably buy the Note 3 at some point (I have a line I can use for an upgrade and keep my unlimited data), although I will wait and make sure it is at least rootable first as I just know I would never be totally happy with a 100% stock phone.
I'm intrigued by the HTC One Max. I don't use the s-pen or multi-window much and I do use the external speaker daily. I'm hoping for more information about the Max this week. Also, my eyes aren't what they used to be so the large screen may work. Then again the Note 3 is calling to me since I have loved my Note 2 since it's release.....we'll see

Looks like an AWESOME phone to me, but I use the s-pen quite a bit.
This obviously is a question I can only answer myself but wanted some input from some people that have bathed themselves in note 3 info... lol and some likely coming from an s3.... I'm not eligible for a new phone until march 2014... however I'm sure I could call and call and eventually get an upgrade to edge anyway (done this before... it works.. just keep calling) edge obviously a bit of a rip off.. but i could kill a few other accounts i don't really use often to make up for the cost.... and obviously if i wanted to flip a phone i could do so in 12 months or so..... with that being said..
I do love the size.. and the bigger screen is preferable to me when it comes to videos.. and other things. The speed is obviously sweet and so is the size... however..
I use my phone to play general games.. not a huge gaming on phone person.. (less you could get league of legends on there lol)... i use my phone as a basic camera..... as well to surf the web... 75% of the time i have access to a desktop in which time i could use my phone as well... i do enjoy surfing whatever sitting on the couch obviously..... I'm really on the fence... I always get super hyped over a new phone (got s3 right away and it took several calls to Verizon to get it done) in which yes, its a nice phone with nice camera options... with that being said.. its still a phone... using it to call people is its basic purpose... i've started to utilize google calandar more and more as i have a disability that the meds hinders my short term memory..so that would be one nice thing.. the s pen is sweet.. looks so awesome.. but i don't see me using it much except to jot down phone numbers or addresses on the fly (which wouldn't be often.. i'm not a people person type of guy and my job doesn't require any use of cellphones) So i'm thinking a faster processor.. better camera..the faster processor and screen size would be the main reasons..... but do i really want to go for it? do i really want to get it now and go on the verizon edge program? I just feel like I may be jumping in and after a month regretting my decision... anyone coming from an S3 have an early opinion? ( i also am in an area where voice calling isn't that great... and i would hope it would be better with the s3 (its better on my wifes older galaxy nexus)... that would be something i suppose i would have to find out after the fact.. and use the 30day policy... to go or not to go..... been thinking about it A LOT for the past week.
Be careful... if you're on Sprint or Vzw, it's only a 14 day policy

Whether or not you consider Edge to be a rip off, I prefer it to dropping $300 on the phone, plus paying my ETF for my old line. That is a total of roughly $310 +$50 for last bill + $300 + taxes for Note 3 = $660 on the lean side. With Edge I spent $102 with Priority Overnight shipping, screen protectors, first month of Edge, and taxes. Now when I sell my HTC One, I sell for around $400 after shipping and paypal fees, that leaves me with just enough to justify upgrading to Note 3. Now in 12 months, I will have paid $300 or so, and I can upgrade to the next Note 4 by then. I find this better.
Okay now on to your question: S3 is a good phone, but no Quad Core Processor, 2GB RAM is okay low compared to Note 3, but 1080p screen is a nice addition, makes watching 1080p movies so much better (based on my experience with 1080p on HTC One). No more scaling, or downsizing. Honestly if you can get the Note 3 at $299 or Edge it then do it. I recommend it.
N3 > LG2 because it has a micro sd slot and no annoying fixed nav bar taking up display space. What is the point of the bigger display if you end up having about the same space as a 5" display (if no nav bar)?
S3 and N3 seem IMO two different devices. I have medium hands and find the phablets too big for one hand operation and awkward (too big) to carry in a belt case compared to my S4. That said, if I did not have several tablets, I would choose the N3 as a true all-in-one device.
this. the htc one max has my attention but the biggest question is when will it come to verizon? remember the htc one? and if htc one max has removable sdcard i may have to buy it and have my note 3 and then decide which i like better. i love sense when it comes to htc phones but cant stand nonremovable battery and expandable storage so we will see. and i really like having an s pen if i dont use a whole lot when you need it, it comes in very handy but if the ppi is much higher and screen is better on one max i will be sure of that so it will be an interesting few weeks

Everything I've read/seen shows a removable battery and 16-64GB on-board storage + Micro SD slot. Add this to the front speakers, S-Off having been developed for the VZ One variant, and the only shortcoming is the S-pen features that you won't get vs the N3. I've asked around recently to find out if any of that gets ported to ROMs, so if that's not available I think I finally know what I'm going to buy. I need a new phone immediately if not sooner, but just want to feel like I'm getting my money's worth.
