I do like how Samsung has reinvented the stylus with this S Pen

Note 2 is priced very well too(600$!)... So many things they have brought in with note 2, that i can finally say samsung has truly differentiated and innovated itself here(something which I could not say for s3)! I will go have a look at it, I am not sure if I should get it due to the size, but it has one feature that shifts the keyboard, etc to one side. Maybe that will help with single hand usage? Also I wonder how it fits in formals, because it may not even fit, or stretch the pocket completely which would look bad. This seems to be the hardest year for me to decide on a new phone

djin, I find the size to be no problem. A couple of days and your're used to it. It fits easily in my medium sized pockets
And the battery guys is truly impressive, 8.5 hours since I took it off charging and still 80 % left, taken a few pictures, a few short slow motion videos(cool function), a few txts and a few short calls and some browsing
GPS on, WIFI on, 3G on, Push e-mail and screen 100% brightness

I am going to get mine closer to December. I just wanted to sell my sgs2 now and get more than I would have later on.
I love the note.

Nokia Lumia920 is even worse, sitting at 185g despite having less components.

I noticed something which annoyed me, front camera light is always on when the screen is locked, it is very faint so you will need to be in a dark place to see it, do you have the same thing?
I found the reason, this is for the "Quick glance" feature, disable the feature and the light switches off
Thanks Tsepz_GP, you should buy one as soon as it hits the market

So far this is the only phone that I have ever waited for, I bought it the second day of release, I was busy on day one

Yeah its not a light but its IRDA (infrared to detect proximity to the screen). Good find.
Personally I feel a) nobody requires a tablet using this thing, and b) Looks ugly to me (my personal opinion, will not sway yours & thats OK), finally c) I prefer 4.7" LG Optimus G's screen and their implementation of dual application use simultaneously with opacity levels - this way you have the FULL screen not 1/2 of a 5.5" screen (2.75" screen).
If Samsung is not careful ... I think this Note II is just so good it'll Eliminate sales of the Galaxy Tab series ... Apple was doing Samsung a favor really ... Samsung should make only 1 Galaxy Tab Tablet at 7/10" display size and fully promote the Note II.
Those that own the Note II can you please comment fully on the Educational Software please - and how it ties into Google's recent efforts to derail Apple's iTunes U please?! To me iTunes U is VERY VERY useful and powerful yet with my recent interest and eyes being opened to Android I'll need a replacement for this FREE educational service of information.

Ok, so no one buys ipods now? some people will have iphone(s), ipod(s) and ipad(s).
People will still buy Galaxy Tabs or Galaxy Notes or both.
as for educational software I did not explorer that side of the Note yet.

The G Note won't be a threat to individuals who want a pure tablet experience and would look at the Galaxy tabs. It is just for a unique set of persons who want a unique experience between a regular cellphone and a tablet like experience.
Samsung seems to have to done a really great job with the software side of the Note II. That has been the weakest side of their offerings. Plus with JB 4.1 things seem to going really well with android. IOS might be falling behind.
