Pretty good phone.

Phone owned for less than a year

I used to have this phone. It was pretty good. Great camera. Great display. It had very few issues. I liked it, except that it fell apart quickly and easily. If you have large enough hands this phone is good. If your hands are small, it makes it difficult to use.

GIANT of a phone with GIANT advantages

Phone owned for less than a year

Originally I was skeptical about getting this enormous phone. Prior to this phone, I had used an iPhone 4 so you can imagine the adjustment from a 3.5 inch screen to a 5.3 inch screen. However, I got used to it within a few days. The phone might be a bit uncomfortable to use if you have small hands. The Note2 does feel quite a bit better in comparison to the Note1, though.

BIGGEST Android Smartphone !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Phone owned for more than a year

So I returned my galaxy tab 8.9 for this as i wanted something to fit into my pocket. I went there today when it was official released and within 45 minutes of the store opening five iphone 4s where returned for this. I love the light weight, amazing screen, and long battery. The s-pen is cool and needs a little tweeking in my book, but great for being the first. Also love the integrated case for the phone blah blah blah

Bigger than most, almost too big!

Phone owned for more than a year

This was my first truly BIG smartphone and i must say it was just that! The battery life was very poor but everything else about this phone blows the doors ( or cases off) everything else. I found myself not using my tablet after getting this phone...

Not bad for as large as it is

Phone owned for less than a month

May 31, 2012:
Traded my HTC One X for it. No Regrets. ATT still doesn't release phones with 100% working IMAP sync, but I have a secondary app that works fine. I really love having a stylus back like I used so much in my Win Mobile Days. Nice features and capabilities too. Comes with Crayon Physics which I love as well as my games like World of Goo and Where's My Water are really fun to play with a stylus. Pretty heavy hourly usage and I get about 10hrs battery. Average usage gets me about 20hrs. If mostly standby or overnight 24hr+ should be no issue. Screen is the biggest battery eater. I keep my brightness at about 30% at the level right where it bumps up from lowest and turn off all the power saving and power adjusts that change brightness on me without returning them back. I can see the screen fine and not drop battery so quick. Hopefully ICS fixes the lag...especially with the keyboard hanging when getting notifications. Other than that it is a great phone.

July 17, 2012:
ICS added some pretty cool features and fixed some lag...although it still sometimes does this random pause. I love the new ability to hover the stylus and see a mouse pointer...it also allows web pages with hover menus to work now which is excellent! IMAP email support is the best I've seen in "stock" email apps so far now- Just remove the stupid 25 email at a time limit and you have a winner. I found it pretty lame that ATT had this update go over Kies instead of their own network and still put their garbage on it.I can uninstall or disable most of it, but still stuck with 2-3 things. Samsung needs to do what Motorola does and allow full control of it all. For some reason Samsung didn't test their keyboards well and all but the stock Android one cover up parts of the screen like Send Buttons. Other Market/Play Keyboards cover up too, so it is something Samsung is tweaking in the UI.

LOve it!!

Phone owned for less than a month

Best phone ive had hands down. The screen is beautiful, I have it in white and it looks and feels good in the hand. It doesnt feel cheap as the S2 did in my opinion. Very fast and reliable so far. I also have great call quality on this phone.

Samsung Galaxy Note

Phone owned for less than a month

Good phone but looking forward to Galaxy S III. The hardware is great. Gingerbread, everyone is tired of...waiting for ICS. S-Pen is great! Trust me, it comes in handy. This phone is made for people with big hands. The talk of the screen being too big is ridiculous. Once you have one, you will not want a smaller screen. I believe this screen size will be the standard in the future but a thinner phone. Great job... Sammy, Samantha, Samuel, Sammitch or whatever the current nickname is for Samsung.

Great phone...but has issues

Phone owned for less than a month

Runs smooth but does get quite hot to the touch at times. Mine, along with all 4 display models at the store, has bad graphics/screen issues with displaying dark shades, what others are calling crushed blacks (easily noticable at night). Also had problems with banding (shading). Both issues were visible in 1st and 3rd party applications. Not sure if the issues were software or hardware issues. It may be just a software issue that can be patched, but I don't trust Samsung to fix it in a timely manner. There is a forum on XDA with 125 pages of people that have this issue with both the international and at&t versions of this phone. I returned mine to best buy today and will wait for some of the new quad core phones to come out before upgrading again.

Phone owned for less than a month

I've had this phone for about a month and it was worth the wait. This phone was release last Oct. internationally and I was waiting and hoping that it made it to these shores. It did and I switched from Verizon to AT&T in a matter of seconds to get. Since I got this phone a laptop that I recently got as a Xmas gift is now collecting dust. I can surf the web in bed and not have to worry when I fall asleep if its going to fall off the bed, I just put it under my pillow and hope the tooth fairy doesn't steal it.

Samsung Galaxy Note LTE

Phone owned for less than a month

Finaly a phone that is a true portable multipurpose device. I use it for everything on the go. Camera, Video recorder, note pad, web browser, music player, ereader, doc veiwer/writer, banking, oh and phone. The big display is nice I can text well without mashing three buttons so it's faster for me and with swipe and voice to txt I don't even have to the s-pen is great I find my self circleing this on pics and sending them to people to show exactly what I mean. Samsung really did a great job on this phone I use it for everything more so than any other phone I've owned.

Phone owned for less than 3 months

I AM ELBARAMONY:
MY OPINION:-
when you used to use it for 10 days you will not be able to return to the small screen dimension again - all mobiles you will feels so small, difficult to write in comparing with galaxy note with big pretty screen and wonderful android operating system, my last mobiles is HTC windows, galaxy tap p1000, I-Mate pocket PC windows, Nokia e90, i think GALAXY NOTE from the best mobile i owned

Awesome Samsung Phone

Phone owned for less than a month

Switched from an HTC EVO 4G with Sprint to this bad boy. Love it. I can still one hand text with it. The colors and resolution are amazing. Light weight and thin, fits in the front pocket of jeans with no problem.
