Hi, do you guys think the Note is too big or not. Because I had the international Galaxy Note and I used it for a week and then sold its thinking I am going to drop it and waste the $700 I paid for. So I sold it for $680.
I think it was buyers remorse
So now I ordered the Note again this time from At&t for $300. And thinking that the size was huge and uncomfortable. Maybe if I keept it for a month I was going to get comfortable withe the size.
Your opinion's. Thank you.

The size of the screen is why I am purchasing one! I purchased the Infuse for the screen size and wished at the time it was a little bit bigger. I am a heavy user for my job so the larger the screen the less eye strain I have at the end of the day.
Cant wait untill BB gives me a call. Hoping AT&T will let them release before the 19th.
I am with you. The screen size is perfect for long days of heavy use and ease on the old eyes. So anxiously awaiting Friday and my White Note!!

I will buy it from you for 299 if you do not like it...LOL!
I think it takes a few weeks to get fully used to the size. After a few weeks when I would go back to my skyrocket, it would feels so small. I would kind of dread going back to the skyrocket, but I would because I have a case/holster which is easier when I travel. (I was always paranoid the GNote would slip out of my pocket on a flight). Now that Seidio is coming with the case/ holster combo, I may be going with my GNote more often! The skyrocket will probably be getting sold to make room for the ATT GNote!
The size of the keyboard in portrait is really optimal for typing and texting, no need to switch to landscape. The browser is great and it zooms very well to make reading a pleasure.

Its pretty hard for anyone to answer this for you. Everyone's hand size/shape is different. Since you already ordered the at&t version I would say try to get used to it. You have 30 days.

Imho, i go as big as they can. Im still a teen, but on my infuse now i can easily type with 1 hand. Ill literally go until i cant hold it lol. Idk about you though, after a while almost any1 can get used to it.
In 2007, 3.5" felt right.
In 2008, 3.7" felt right.
In 2009, 4.0" felt right.
In 2010, 4.3" felt right.
In 2011, 4.65" felt right.
2012 is the year we come around to 5.3".
By 2013, we will have 6" edge-to-edge displays in the current 5.3" case.
We did the same thing with TV's: 19", 25", 32" 36", 42", 46", 50", 55" and on. Long ago, 42" seemed huge.
By the end of this year, 5" plus will seem normal.
I bet the navigation app is awesome on the note!!! You probably never have to zoom to read the adjacent street names.

After owning the International one first. Yes. It is amazing.
Also the Note by far has the best GPS performance out of all phones out there.
Yup yup . . .looking forward to running waze on this bad boy
Well that depends, if you have small hands than it can suck since typing on it and holding it will be a pain in the arse, but if you have big hands like me then it's the best phone on the planet. I think that's one reason why Samsung included the S-Pen lol.

I got my tpu case in the mail for my note today and it looks like ill be able to 1 hand type with easy.

Great summary of the evolution of smartphones ever since the original iPhone.
Although in June 2010, the world would have been in greater shock if Dell had even bothered to market/advertise their Streak.
Even if they had done that...They would have still been considered 'way ahead of their time.'
Due to being spoiled with screen real estate,, I'd like to see a 6.0" screen on a phone by like next year.
Man I have it 2 days still can't get use to it. It feels too big

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)

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.

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.

So I'm on week two of owning the Galaxy Note i717 and I can't see owning a phone smaller than this. I realized this when I was at the AT&T store and held a Skyrocket in my hands. Now, before I upgraded to Note, I had a Skyrocket and at the time, I thought it was a large device. Now, the Skyrocket feels tiny in my hands. I cant believe how small every other phone feels in comparison. I kind of knew this was going to happen! :/

I've had every phone on the market going back to 1997 , and the Note is the best phone I've had. The only other phone I liked this much, was the legendary Nokia N95 8gb. That phone was far ahead of it's time.
Sent from my Galaxy Note (SGH-i717) using XDA Premium.
I completely agree that the Note has ruined smaller phones for me forever. It will take the Note 2 to displace me from the Note. If Samsung doesn't continue the Note line, I will be on the Note for a longgggggg time. Although I don't see how they couldn't continue it, they've already shown some decent sales. The Note is just kicking ass and taking names, shoving it in every tech blogger's face that dared to call it a 'niche' device. I haven't talked to a single person who hasn't walked away impressed and liking my phone.
What Samsung needs to do with the Note 2 though is release it on all four carriers simultaneously. If the Note was on all four right now it would be killing every other phone. I would love to see them team up with Google and make it the Nexus Note...one can only dream.
I wish I was on Samsung's design team...
Owning a Note spoils you in many ways, especially with its screen size & screen resolution.
All along, I kept holding onto the Streak until finally getting the Note a few days ago. That was the only "acceptable" successor to the Streak for me.

Back when I bought my Captivate, I was looking at the Streak as well, but when it was released with 1.6 on it, I jumped on the Cappy. In a way I wish I had gone with the Streak, as I loved the size of it, but I was naive with Android and wasn't aware of XDA and it's wonders, which eventually brought the Streak some good software. Then again, I love Samsung screens, and love the support that Samsung devices tend to receive here on XDA, so the Cappy, then my Infuse, now my Note have all been great devices. Just glad I finally got a device this size made by Sammy. Love me some 5.3" Super AMOLED HD goodness. =].
I was with my dad today who now uses my Cappy, and holding that thing makes me smile with how small it is. Crazy to think I thought it was big compared to my iPhone 3G. Haha. I couldn't ever go back to something that small, let alone my Infuse at 4.5".
I had my GS2 since it came out last year and back then i thought it will be the biggest phone I will ever have, boy was I wrong! When i got the Note, I can't imagine myself using my GS2 or iPhone 4s. They just look so puny!
Up until a few days ago, I was off-contract since around July 2010.
I remember how tempted I was to switching to Sprint solely for the EVO. I remember how its huge screen was appealing to me. Glad I never made that move, since around my area, its coverage is rather spotty.
Unbeknownst to me at that time, the Streak was also released around that time frame. Right when I thought 4.3 & 4.5 inch screens were huge, now they feel and like miniscule compared to the Note screen.
no way could I go back to a phone with a smaller screen
Been using the note since it came out in Canada. I cannot imagine using my tiny iPhone anymore
I came from the Epic 4G on sprint and actually made the jump to AT&T for this. This is an amazing phone and while I have rooted it I'm actually content with the stock Rom presently. With the Epic I couldn't wait to flash new Roms on that one...
I am going to be curious to look at the HTC One X when it arrives but this will be my prime phone that's for sure!!

after only using Note for a few days, not even a week
my old T989 which is 4.5" felt so small, it was hard to get back used to it.
now when i pick up those old 4" or 3.5" phones it's like trying to fiddle with a match box
i have a coworker (nerd/geek wannabe, talk like he knows everything but actually is just a noob), when i see him using his idiotPhone, it looks like a freaking toy! so small!
My first phone was the Motorola "Brick", when they released the Star-Tac, thought life couldn't get any better, then Dell came out with the Streak, except for the fact Dell couldn't market their way out of their A$$, I loved it. The streak beats everything I've had hands down.

-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke
Although I rock the International Note, it's hard to look or use my Samsung Epic 4G on Sprint, which I still use since my work pays for the monthly bill on it. I have been eyeing this phone since last year because of the big screen (I really didn't at first care about the S-pen but now love it) so once the phone fell under $600, I immediately jumped on it. Now running it on Straight Talk mobile and I am so happy. Seriously best phone I've ever had and once I'm upgrade eligible on Sprint in June, I might not jump on the SGS3 if I know a Sprint version of the Note is coming on the Now Network.

Normally, I keep phones for a couple of months before trading for something different. Now that I own the Note, I don't foresee a trade anytime soon. The only other phone I can see owning is the Note 2 (we can only hope). If I had my way, the Note 2 would have an A/R coated sapphire crystal display, real stainless steel accents, a 2.2 fstop carl zeiss camera optics, high quality stereo speakers, and a white carbon fiber body. Oh! and it would also have an indicator LED.

It may have been heavy but it was still awesome. First 5" phone in a world where 4.3" was considered too big. I've said it before and ill say it again, the streak was never meant for the consumer public, it was designed for the medical field and at the last moment they switched it to a consumer phone. The weight was from its sturdy design. I would have bought its successor if it had one and it came before the note.
Heck I still use my streak as a backup / home device

No joke. Ahead of its time. In fact, if it had a successor, I would choose it over the Note. Just sayin'
If you don't use a case for either of those 2 devices, the Streak feels much better with its sturdiness. That's mostly due to the fact it's metal.
The Note does have a bit of that 'cheap feel' with its plastic, but if you use even just a TPU case, that basically nullifies that issue.
I feel that I have become a better 'smooth talker' from owning both those phones. My co-workers and close friends still continue to tease me in a joking way after I got the Note.
It continues to be an instant convo starter in the general public whenever I pull it out. There's basically no need to even try getting other people's attention.

I, too, have decided to stick with my Note and wait for the Note3. Decided to spend my money on fragrances and clothing.
I love my big phone.
I would carry a tablet if I could make calls and text with it.
I think the small phone fad is coming to an end

Ditto. We are two versions behind now and probably 3 before att releases it
Yeah, I don't think I'll ever be able to go back to anything smaller. Everything just feels so small compared to my Note...
There is no way I could go back to a phone any smaller than the Note! My wife has an iPhone 4s and its just so small! Couldn't do it. I got rid of my 7" tablet because I found myself using the Note for everything I used to use the tablet for.

I'm also going to wait it out for the note3. I wasn't even tempted to buy the nexus 4 since the screen is smaller than the note. Maybe it will be worth the wait and the note3 will have 1 week battery life. :victory:
Yep, when I bought my Note I was fully aware the Note 2 was just a few months away. But when I learned the Note 2 was losing the slightly thicker screen for a standard wide-screen form factor, with no bump in resolution or camera, I decided not to wait.

I did the same with my tablet. I had a Playbook (which really is a killer tablet, best I've ever used) but after owning the Note I realized I hadn't touched my tablet in a couple weeks. Had no desire to really. Sold it!
I tell people if you are in the market for a new phone and tablet, just get a Note! It really is a all around replacement.

This is my problem with the Note 2...played with one for the first time the other day at the Verizon store and even though the screen is technically larger it sure as hell didn't feel like it. That's the problem with the Note 1...not only has the size spoiled me, but the 16:10 aspect ratio has spoiled me too. Which sucks because now I'm REALLY limited in my phone choices (uhh...one choice...)!

Same here. Even holding a SIII felt so small...and its, what, 4.7 inches?! Don't even get me started on the iPhone 4/5...they feel like tiny MP3 players or something. Couldn't even use one if it was given to me!
I'm spoiled. Won't mind owning a Note 2. I don't like the new design really. Note 3 for me though. I think Huawei is coming out with a 6.1 inch Note competitor.
BlackStar XI Samsung Galaxy Note I717
I feel spoiled in general by Samsung, as their AMOLED screens can't be topped. Yeah, the Note has, IMO, the best screen on a phone to date, but I still appreciate my secondary phone, a Galaxy Nexus, and also at times my old Infuse and Captivate that are sitting in a drawer back home.
Though I do wish Samsung had kept the 16:10 aspect ratio, the Note 2 is nothing to scoff at. If I had the funds available to buy one, I would in a heartbeat. I'm happy with my current Note though, so it will definitely be the Note 3 for me. Let's hope they go at least 5.5" 1080p, if not up to 6". What would be really sweet would be to see them put a matte finish on the glass that doesn't distort the resolution... it's possible, but not probable. I'd also like to see them bring back a metal back like on the Captivate... Samsung got design right with that one. At the very least, a textured back again like the Nexus or on my Note's flip cover. Enough of the glossy plastic Samsung.

Mine spoiled me badly. I have to use my son's extra Captivate for several days that he has and it makes me miss my baby The Note.

Funny how its bigger but has less square inch space. They changed the aspect ratio of the screen by stretching it out skinny. I think the screen on the 1 is better personally.
I am spoiled but I'd still like to trade my note for a galaxy nexus.
I plan on finding out about the Note 2 sometime in February.
