I have...lol Doesn't really seem like such a HUGE phone anymore. Just seems normal....lol The only time it seems huge again is when i pick up other peoples phones. My wife's Vibrant seems small now.....and the other day i picked up a iphone and damn near cried....lol The last time the Note's size amazed me was the first time i booted up GTA 3...lol I honestly NEVER see myself going back to a smaller screen i can tell you that. I'm so used to it that now when people freak out when they see it....it's almost annoying/old.....i'm like get over it...this should be the standard...lol
I'm used to it now more or less. Only had it for 3 days now.
Its awesome for gaming. Just the weight and size. And the screen is gorgeous as we all know. I can even use it one handed amazingly to write all kinds of text input. So yeah I'm used to it. I've got medium to small hands by the way. Have not touched my nexus or transformer ever since I got it.
I showed it to a few people at work today and they were all shocked...lol.

I got used to it half way into the first day of ownership
Opening its box, I thought "Omg, what did I get myself into?" Now I see it on the table and think "It's a normal sized phone" hehe. It's perfect I got used to it really REALLY quickly!
My Amaze, Sensation and Nexus S feel tiny now....

Took me a while to stop thinking of it as huge, but now it really doesnt feel so big.
Just feels about right
It took me quite a long time to get use to my Galaxy Note to be honest. Probably a couple of weeks, but I am quite a small person with small hands. Now, I kind of forget it's huge, but people's responses remind me. Some have found it odd, others seemed quite interested. It's funny because people were always saying how huge my HTC Desire HD was and now that seems tiny in comparison. I admit initially I had some regret but now I'm really getting use to my Galaxy Note, although I do miss being able to use a phone with one hand

Me too, just today I was telling my brother that it should be called Galaxy Mini because it feels so small already!

It's the ideal device for prompting "That's what she said!" opportunities.
Had my Samsung Galaxy Note for a full day now and I'm still getting use to size. The only problems I'm having with is one-handed use as well typing in landscape mode. I noticed I had to slow down my typing, so there wouldn't be any typos. Hopefully I adapt or find an app that gives me a smaller keyboard, so I don't have to reach as far to hit the letters.
Another thing I should be getting use to is having random strangers ask me what is that thing? Is it a phone or is it a tablet? IT'S BOTH! That's how I respond.
Other than that, I love the big screen size! Great experience.
hello people...im currently using a galaxy mini...im going to start working in a month and i am about to get a brand new galaxy note come june end...do you guys think its worth it?i mean i have read about it EXTENSIVELY, watched many videos, but have never really come face to face with it...
my usage will be for calling, texting, emails , news , games, presentations and other basic stuff like that...im going for the note coz i LOVE BIG SCREENS...im almost six feet tall and have really big hands...
and oh yeah i really dont mind how weird i might look talking over the note
so with all this in mind can i buy it?
It is an amazing phone, I've had it for 2 weeks, different roms have different battery lives, but the stock one is still very good by default.
So, go for it and come tell us about it!

Before I got my Note I was juggling between the Note and a S2 but went for the Note and I'm so happy that I chose the Note over the S2.
Go for Note. Or if you think screen is a bit big then S3 is to be released soon. That would be my next choice.

My note is now three hours old and I am really loving it. I managed to have a good play with the S3 yesterday and in comparison I sill preferred the note.
I am keen to learn more about using the S-pen
even i'm a short boy, i'm still holding the phone! so i belive you deserve this huge guy.
just don't flash ICS roms at the moment and stick to just GB roms to be safe.

I'm going to do the same thing I do with all of my other phones...use it . As far as making reach its full potential, I'm waiting for a bad ass custom ROM to surface. Once the boards are riddled with new ROMs that really push this hardware, thats when my fun really begins. For now, I'm going to run stock for a couple months to give the development community some time to cook up some awesomeness.

What case are you planning on buying? My sister wants to put on a cell phone charm as well, but the only cases that have a cutout for the lanyard are Samsung cases that we've found so far.
Actually...I liked "Take over the world"
Buying more accessories for it than I need. Cables, cases, batteries, chargers, screen protectors, etc... till I figure out which ones I like best and use most often, then the rest will stay in a box as spares.

I got to play with it today as well, the display is amazing! Don’t like that their isn’t a removable SD slot... You cant remove the ZOE, but you can change the home page.
It looks like a solid phone and definitely a better upgrade to the htc onex :good:

I got to play with it as well. This phone is pretty sick. The camera is pretty awesome. The zoe feature sold me. You can basically create a movie with it. Lol. The phone is smooth and very responsive. The blink feed is nice as well. The front facing camera is best I've ever seen. It has the capability to be used as a tv remote. The aluminum body felt great and not cheap in the hands. I have the note 2 and think I will buy this phone as well. The list of new features goes on and on. If they can get proper advertising, this phone will be a great success for htc.
