Brilliant concept and awesome device, Im loving it! Samsung is going to overtake Apple if it continues down this road of innovation! HTC is already kicked to the curb, watch out Apple, your monolithic iPhone market share is being threatened….

I’ve never liked Samsung because it copies others a lot. But, maybe this time I’m wrong. The Note looks quite amazing and full of factures. I specially look for what all the S Pen can do.
Hope Santa will bring this device for me to have a look on :)

Best phone ever IMO i’ve never had any other smart phone except BB curve 8520 which i got 3 years ago i upgraded to the Note and i never looked back at anything smaller than that beautiful display. 5.3″ will definatly be the highest point of screen size or maybe 5.5″ (when they make it edge to edge display on the same dimensions of the phone) 14.7cm-8.4cm is big if you think about it holding but trust me i wear pretty tight jeans and it fits perfectly without sticking out and i hardly notice its there when i sit down seriously. And for those business men and women its called a jacket or a handbag. Beats S2 and just makes me so thankful i waited off buying the S2

I have been using the Galaxy Note for three days now and…

My feedback is WOW, if you love the Streak you would fall in love again twice. It is just that brilliant.

One thing to note, the build qualilty is different to the material use. IE the build quality is top notch, however the back plate is plastic and I can understand why as it keeps the weight down. I have no problem as everything clicks in place.

The screen is brilliant, bright and with high res, easy on the eye.

It is very light compare to the Streak

It is fast, very fast and the web browsing is perfect.

OK, my final thought is that it doesn’t matter how much you love the Streak, the Streak life is OVER. You cannot go back to the Streak once you use the Galaxy Note.

think we have reach limit of 5.3″ that is pocketable.

So far the battery is great, getting 3 days before charge and did I mentioned that gorgeous screen, 5.3″ high res

So much to test, so little time.

Gonna list my Streak on Ebay once I migrate the data across, any member interest msg me with a price, (include 4800mah mugen battery)

Will T-mobile get this baby? unbelievable if not. I mean, this is a first of its kind! Perfect for what im looking for; a small tab that works as a phone. I have read that right now only supports 2g in tmo. Will it change?

It dispates nomore heat than other smart phones if you holding it against your ears. It more of conscious issue if it doesn’t bother you then it doesn’t. It is very light for what it is and it no comparison to the 7″ version or HTC flyer. I would say this is a phone made it to be a tablet rather a Tablet has the phone function like (Galaxy 7″ and HTC Flyer). Before I had a HTC Desire HD so the diffrence is only very little if you see the following only now I prefers to put the phone in Jacket than pocket.

Back when the Tab came out, a friend asked me if it could be his mobile phone replacement if he had a suitable headset. I thought that was a good idea for that size of device, provided that the voice command facilities of Android were up to par and that he had a headset with a one-line display that had decent battery life and clarity. He didn’t go that route, but understood why my comment to him was driven in such a meme. It would need to be voice-driven, then data-driven, even though for him the size of the screen addressed issues of accessibility most smartphones at the time didn’t.

This device gets that same kind of approach from me. Its a tablet, and as such its best uses should mirror that. Maybe that’s part of the attempt of this article, to poke at another usage scenario for mobility that’s not as screen-dependent even with a large screen at one’s disposal. But, I don’t think that it would make the best of impressions in a phone context, Android just isn’t built that way. Its a computer, and maybe Samsung tweaked the composition aspects with the stylus as HTC has. But, to be a phone, its got to excell at that aspect of communication that is usually reserved for something with a bit smaller of a screen, and more clear of a purpose.
