Samsung Galaxy Note II

wd40

Hi All,

I bought the Galaxy Note II yesterday, I think Samsung is releasing it from east to west ..

The device is huge as you will see in the picture
What I like:
Screen is huge + it has android, which supports more applications than BlackBerry, and the S apps "S note" are just great for study.

What I did not like:
I think it cannot match the e-mail capabilities of BlackBerry, I miss the keyboard a little but because the note has a huge screen even with the on screen keyboard you still have a bigger screen than what is available on the BlackBerry torch.

now I need to find some useful apps to load on it

** I erased the bottom part of the BB torch because you could see my reflection on it

no interest at all in this device
power consumption seems reasonable, after 24 hours of usage I still had 30% battery.low usage of course.

Any particular reason why you chose the note over the S3? The size of the note really does put me off it, seems to be more of a tablet device to me.

I chose it because of the S apps "especially S note" and for the stylus, I think it would be great for use in classes, take a look at the official Samsung channel on YouTube.

It is huge which may be a problem and a good thing at the same time, it is more difficult to handle than the S3 but you get a bigger screen where you can take more notes and it is better for web browsing / reading etc.

on average I use the phone as a phone for less than 20 minutes per day, less than 5 minutes on weekends, so the awkwardness of using the Note as a phone is manageable

its like everything these days imo - too big. Its nearly the size of my head haha. Im not a fan of the S3/Iphone 5 dimensions either though. I want a mobile phone, if i want something big i would use a tablet/laptop.

Tablets are good, but this will always will be in your pocket and will always have data connection without needing a different data plan / contract.

Tablets will not replace the laptop for me because applications I need for university can not be installed on common tablets "waiting for the surface pro "

I agree that the large size of the phone is more positive than negative. I also rarely use my phone as a phone, but rather a tool for data/web/text/etc. Note II is definitely the #1 phone on my list.
