For some reason, I really enjoy it when someone else asks me if I'm using the Note. I'm not talking about the 'Wow, that's a big phone' type of stuff stuff. Just a curious 'Is that the Note?' and I just go 'yeah!' enthusiastically and flash a big smile back.
Got it from a security guard today - was showing my e-ticket on the phone to the other guard.
It's no joke that I don't attract any attention when talking on the phone in public - I really wish I got more to be honest, so I could tell more people about it.
honestly, I feel really weird why would you feel this kind of pleasure when you receive recognition about you using Galaxy Note?
I love my Note but it's just not more than a tool, it does make my life easier , like what a good tool does.
it's like you feel really honorable when people give you recognition about you using a really good drill when you drilling hole
"hey sir, is your drill Bosch?"
"yes it is!"(oh stop it you :$)
I hate the common questions I get DAILY at work (Work at a cellphone shop, new people everyday...). The list is
"WHAT!? What is that thing a TV? WOW OH WOW"
"WHAT IS THAT? Is that a Tablet? WOW"
"Oh is that the new Galaxy(Common Speak )?"
"Oh wow the note? Can I see?"
"How does that fit in your pocket?"
"Woah, that thing is huge"
It goes on and on and I really am starting to get annoyed, just let me use my phone! hah.

Rofl exactly the same stuff here. Sometimes positive resposes and sometimes the crap you mentioned
Verstuurd van mijn GT-N7000 met Tapatalk
Same here:
1) 60% of "You could beat someone to death with this brick"
2) 20% "It's too big, I would never use such a big phone"
3) 20% "It can't fit in your pocket" (while I'm slipping it out of my pocket easily)
Everybody who got forced to use it (like some people in my company) do all love it in the end. Even girls like it here in Switzerland: A girl i know and her mother just bought 2 SG-N7000 and both loving the screen size. And girls can fit it in their bags
Size matters, as Hugh Hefner always said
Some of my friends jokingly say, "where's your laptop?". I just laugh. I love this phone. As for the pocket "issue", it's not one for me. I typically put it in my back pocket, but it will fit in side pocket too.
My friends always call it a TV and according to them I look so silly having a phone call with it. But I don't really care because someone who didnt used will never know how cool this phone is.
Besides, they don't know how silly THEY look with their tiny i****.

EVERYONE!
You tell those that ask/make fun about size that it's thin enough to fit in the front pocket.
This is true.
I've had it long enough(months) to be honest and say that truly... it is too big as a phone.
I speak PRACTICALITY for a phone,
it's too big. I've almost dropped it soo many times.
But, I Love It! The screen is in my face! Yeah! If the next iPhone is NOT 4" or more, I may get the 'Note' II.
Also, when ever I text/use a friend's smaller phone I say to myself, "yuke, what is this?!"
Yes, I cannot go back. Who can?!

And especially silly when they are watching videos on it. Then I whip out my Note and watch fantastic HD videos on it and I get dagger eyes staring at me.
And another funny thing is when my colleague keeps saying the Note is too big while he squints at his Iphone screen, reading only 5 lines of huge text.

Are you sure you need a phone that big?
Your red phone is so eye-catching! Nice!
Ever since I've got this phone I've gotten more attention than I've ever asked for. People always look at me like I'm crazy when I pull this thing out of my pocket. This phone is an eye turner for sure and I honestly believe that I've gotten a couple of people jealous because it's a phone/tablet. My co-workers call me "THE PHONE KING" including my supervisors. I've gotten almost all my coworkers the switch for android and now that I brought this bad boy around they always want the same thing and wished that they never signed their two year contracts ( Haha suckers!) I always get the WHO, WHAT, WHERE AND WHEN from people. And for some strange reason people always want to compare the size of their phone to mine. Lol I love this phone and will never EVER settle for anything smaller EVER again.
Love this thread! PMSL!
I really like it when I get the people that watch me with it and ask all those questions mentioned above.
I just tell them,' It's an Android Tablet.' then all I have to do is flip the phone onto it's back and show them the sexy Red shell and the Dell logo, watch their jaws drop to the floor and become hypnotised by it!
'Is it a phone?' they ask again.
'Yes it does have a phone built into it, saves me carrying two things at once.'
'Bit big isn't it?' , 'That's what tablets are good at doing.(Chuckling to myself just loud enough to be heard)'
At that point everything goes a bit quiet and I just leave them there in a David Blaine like trance watching me finish doing something completely amazing with it!(A bit of Swype normally has a good effect on them!)
Now I'm not one for showing off and bragging about my gadgets but since I got this you gotta admit that it really does deserve the attention!
LOL... Nice thread...

Ok so the note is quite big when you hold it to your ear but you have to remember, or i did anyway I was used to a smaller device. So the trade off for this for a short time before it feels like the norm...better web browsing, great battery life and the ease of being able to snapshot anything write directly to the screen and get any info I have about any given subject out there so much easier. Il take the trade off any day

Its no problem at all to hold it to your ear. It does require two hands to use it (maybe I can learn to use it with one hand after I've had it for more than a day.)
Surprised nobody has commented on this -
Samsung is going to have a NINETY second spot during the superbowl!
A normal 30 second spot costs around 2-3 million bucks, and samsung is buying three of them! Whoa
The commercial is being directed by the Farrely brothers (There's something about mary, etc)

That's odd... people normally don't even notice how big the phone is when I'm talking on it... (possibly cos it's mostly hidden by my hands ).
People do, however, notice its size if I'm using it for other stuff like messaging or browsing...
OT: I'm really happy Samsung has been pushing this phone into the mainstream so much. It's an awesome device. And it'll be even greater with all the development support that comes from being a mainstream success.

Not a big fan of the commercial to be honest.
They sure didn't say much for a 90 second spot.
But I guess the whole point is to get people talking about the note, and then the Note will take it from there.
Is it this one?

Dont let a Samsung employee hear you calling it a stylus
I hope they do something outrageous about it like it having a dual personality, a phone and a tablet, and it falls in love with an iPhone and follow it across the country. Oh wait, they already did that.
EDIT: ARRGH, my post is too late.
GIANTS won! Yeaaaaaa
Thought it was great! Really makes people think about a bigger better option, the Note. No hard sell just fun and entertainment, better than the half time show. The next three ads will do the rest. Haven't met anyone yet that didn't want my Note.
I won't say the Giants won as much as they just got lucky.
Waste of 9 million bucks. Terrible Imo
From the giant: Galaxy Note
why what do employees refer to it as?
Wish the ad showed some of the features of note, rather than people screaming around
Was really hoping for a much better spot outta Samsung on this one. Thought their previous commercials were great. Although i will say, i had 3 friends text me saying they saw a commercial for my phone.

^^^ This. If I didn't know what the ad was for (and I hadn't been following the Note for months now) I would think it was just another Android handset with that pointy stylus thing that Steve Jobs said was bad. Not a single thing special about it. Didn't feel like 90 seconds; seemed like it was over and I was still waiting for some tangible "here's why this thing is awesome" moment(s). Oh well. As the Note has done elsewhere in the world, I'm sure it'll sell itself on the merits as people start using them.
The add was lame. I was sold on the specs alone before the thing was ever announced (just rumored) ... Of course we have to remember, most people aren't nerds like us...
The downside to it's success is that, unlike the Dell Streak I'm writing this on, I wont be the only person I know who has one! When I whip out the Streak I always realize that no one has ever seen a phone like this. That is about to end...
The upside is of course that the development from this community, and the updates from Samsung should be great.

Lat time I traveled in Europe I had three! One for my Oz account with my email / WiFi & contacts, one for my UK / Europe account (because Oz account charge a fortune over there in most countries), and one Sat Phone for use when I was at sea in the Med.
It got so bad I almost gave it all up and went of a Sat Phone all the time, but the reception is useless inside any building.
My neighbors jaw dropped lookin @ my phone..
Funny, I keep explaining to others comparing the same with iPhone, for me its my first Android phone, and I am running ICS and end up showing stuffs pretty much and there will be a crash or something crazy..!! lolz, though after two days I feel other phones are so tiny.
Now imagine this: i show my note and everyone asks:" how much did it cost? " and i simply say:" it was free... Won it in a contest on Stuff.tv site"
And everyone thinks this: Damn you bastard... I never win anything!

The only stranger who ever gave my Note more than a moment's glance was a guy I was sitting beside in a seminar. I was using it both to take notes and record audio, while he was using his GS2 to record, and one of the Galaxy Tabs (I think 8.9) to take notes. He was looking over to it constantly, surely with the thought that it must be a great combination of the two devices.
As far as non-strangers are concerned, my wife (an iPhone 4 user) is jealous about damn near everything I've shown her on it. She might end up with the pink or white Note.
I was really surprised with the amount of positive feedback that people gave to the note, including iPhone users etc.
Something interesting I noticed was that at my campus there seem to be a lot of folks with a phone+iPad or phone+playbook or any other tablet etc. (even my gf falls into this category). It just seems sort of silly to me to carry around two devices everywhere.
To be fair, though, I would never use the Note as a primary note-taking device, and have definitely seen iPad users use their devices for this purpose. Like some other users have mentioned, a 6" screen would be just fine in my book, as long as it still made calls.
However, if I didn't have a stereo bluetooth headset I would notice the size of it when using as an actual phone much more...
Ha. How about this one, I was on the phone with the Note on Thursday afternoon in the foyer of our business complex (talking to ATT nonetheless) and saw a Guy walk past me looking right at the phone and is massive size up to my ear and COMPLETELY forgot to open the door to go outside and slammed right into it.
I laughed and said holy crap bud you okay? He said nothing and ran out the door!
This is what the Note will do for you.

Well, the Note held to your ear IS bonkers for its sheer size...
Yesterday my friends made jokes about exactly this situation all evening long - and yet could'nt resist to playing arround with it. It got the attention from both Galaxy (SI & SII) and iPhone users...
I think it's odd how many people say the Note is too big, or you will look funny holding the phone up to your ear. I make at least 40 calls a day, and I do not use a headset, and not once has anyone said I look funny holding the phone to my ear. Maybe I do look funny, but nobody has ever mentioned it, or even looked at me funny. I think the first few days I used the Note, I felt a little weird, but now I don't even think about the phone size.

If someone doesn't want to get the Note because he or she "will look funny with it" and not because it's too big or any other actual reason - there's something wrong with that person, not the phone. Enough said

It doesn't matter when it's big enough to satisfy expectations my friend
I agree w. OP. I am a Prof on a 3 campus university. I am always walking around them and the research labs. I have no problems with putting the Note in my front pocket, talking on the phone with it my ear, using it with one hand and of course being able to do email, schedule, find a room number of a meeting - all while on the fly walking w/ or w/o the pen and usually using the dead accurate voice commands and dictation - never get a strange look.
I use the note like a computer and get things done with such less frustration than past phones ( moving between touch, pen and voice and using allot of gesture controls for speed). I am on one campus when a crisis happens on another ( I am a Grad Chair for a Interactive CS school on one campus and Dir of another small program in Cog Sci on another), checking email and voice inputting a reply or room number or person to call - saves me hours of frustration if I had let the problem grow and not made a quick fix or alleviated with a quick email.
The phone is a godsend and the 'it just looks to big for me being on my hip bus in Manhattan with my hipster friends ( hey I grew up in Manhattan) is just stupid press BS which we have to read all the time. Although 5 million of us know better.

Years back, the smallest phone was the trend and if you owns a small expensive phone, you would be the talk of the room! But nowadays, large device/screens are the growing tend. 4.3-4.6 inches screens seems to be the most popular but I think it won't be too long before the majority of people would adopt a 4.8 or 5.5 inches phone!
Thing is we all like to browse websites/check emails/watch photos and videos on the go, and to be able to do this with ease, we need more screen space. The Dell Streak 5 was great but it was built with very outdated hardware/specs. Samsung definitely has won the consumers by making the Note stands out of the market with the S Pen and some top hardware specs.
