The screen is awesome, and so are the specs..However, I am on two wheels 90% of the time. Size and weight are biggies with me.
Right now I am still within my return period on my GN 2014, along with my tax refund to take up the difference. I was going to snatch the 64gb one... But, after looking at the size, compared it to my 10.1, it is just too much..I travel very light on two wheels. Either on motorcycle or bicycle, space is premium.
Now, if they came with another 10.1 pro, I be on it, especially since I am in my return window..
Again, this thing is too big..

I think the weight doesn't matter and as long as u have a nice bag for it neither does size I don't think I ever heard someone saying hey I wish my tablet was 100g lighter plus the screen size just makes up for all of this

I am actually excited for this one i think they had some leak pics up on CNET
looks nice!
As a math teacher this looks like a great teaching tool for notes and lessons!
Same here... in my profession... I definitely need this. but I prefer the LTE version Screen size for me is the best.

First impressions
Well, I've had my 32gb WiFi Galaxy Note Pro for 2 days now.
The screen is superb. I absolutely love it.
The size looks much larger than expected, in terms of feel, than my Note 10.1 2014 - a huge difference when watching video.
I have experienced no lag at all.
The TouchWiz UX is OK - but the magazine home screen I cannot get on with. The content is too restrictive and doesn't cover my interests. Also, you cannot remove the Magazine screen - grrrr!
Also have a problem writing to the micro SDCard - see my other post.
Still early days yet but a general 'thumbs up' from me.
Yes, I really want this, but first things first.
- I need to be able to sell my Nexus 10 for a decent price before I can buy this.
- I'll not be an early adopter/unpaid beta tester. I want lots of reviews (both pro and amateur) before I make a commitment.
- I suspect this tablet will be huge with the custom ROM community. I'll wait until there's some solid ROM development going on.

I've always found the 10" tablets too small to be really useful, in particular since I've almost always had a large phone with me. Currently the GN3. 10" was too big to carry in a pocket and too small to be useful on the go. So if I'm going to have to carry it in a bag/case, might as well go with a moderately larger screen size. But not too big so as to become heavy and bulky if I want to use it on a plane, vehicle, or even couch.
With this form factor, I'm hoping it'll fit right in between my 5.7" phone and 15" notebook, depending on where I'm going and what I want to do.
Mine gets here Friday. Yay.

Bought mine from BCC yesterday here in the Netherlands.
This tablet is simply amazing. The extra screen real estate makes it so much more useful. Makes you really wonder why no one else tried a larger display the last three years.

Not noticeably.
Only minor annoying thing is that some elements are just to large for this display, but that's a general Android thing. I'm afraid I gonna need to tweak the density (like it's done in the good old days).
Hope it will get rooted soon so we can run custom roms bye bye UX
Almost $840 after shipping and tax from Best Buy in the States. I may be a fool for spending nearly a thousand dollars on a tablet, but at least I know I'm not the only one. .. looking forward to getting my hands on it!

I have had my Note for about 2 months now. I continue to be very happy with my purchase, and I have become very accustomed to the 5.3" screen. Its hard to look at other people's small 3.5" screens and not laugh.
I just wondered what everyone else's experiences have been, and are you enjoying your Note? Any regrets?
See ya

I don't really use mine anymore.
I carry my 4S and a Galaxy Nexus.
I'm pretty disappointed in Samsung's lack of 4.0 update as well. Meh.

Still LOVE my NOTE!!! I own other devices and even own the Galaxy Nexus but this is BY FAR my FAVORITE device right now and probably my favorite device since owning Android devices!!!
+1 on the Screen Size thing too!!! This thing is a SEXY BEAST!!!
I am very happy with my Note. Had it for about 3 weeks now. I love the big screen and the fast cpu. Only thing I miss is 4.0.
Coming from Galaxy Nexus I miss a bit. But when we get it, it will be game over.
I have mine for about 2 months too !
and I love it !!!!
2nd Month, Never been happier with a phone like this.
Not missing anything, Has everything I expect in a Mobile Device.
I'm quite happy with it, but a few days ago I damn near sold it for a Nexus. I don't use the stylus much any more, and would love to have something slightly more pocketable. I still might do it.
I have had mine for a month and I cant stop playing with it. I still have my epic 4g touch galaxy s 2 and I can't stand using it because the screen is too small!

Galaxy Nexus is a great phone. But you might regret that trade.
I've criticized Galaxy Note on multiple occasions, mostly on the stylus-relate software that has plenty of rough corners and completely dysfunctional behaviour. That said, I criticize everything anyways, it's only healthy to be able to see both upsides and downsides and not just get blinded by one's own rose-tinted glasses.
However, despite its few shortcomings I still view it as a really nice phone and I see no reason to bother with other phones at the moment. Personally I'd love to run MeeGo on it, have an actual hardware button for camera, and have NFC on it, otherwise I find it perfectly useable and fulfilling. I do not know of any currently-selling phone model that would offer MeeGo+NFC+H/W camera button+5.3" 720p S-AMOLED-screen+microSD-support+proper digitizer pen, and thus I will be using my Note for years to come.
I've.had my note for about 2 months..it's the perfect mobile device I'm my eyes...I really don't use the stylus much...I honestly wish the screen was bigger 6 inch screen....I have large hands I was very happy when this fone was released....I don't need ICS to complete the deal....

Obviously blinded by the sun and thus stumbled whilst leaving the basement having a temper tantrum.....still can't find his dummy.
I love my galaxy note. As mentioned before, going back to smaller screens feels weird.
As of the galaxy nexus... Had that, no comparison to the note. ICS might be nice, but: can anyone tell me what FUNCTIONALITY they gained??? Only thing I know is I can't mount my sd card anymore on a PC... And 16GB of memory, no sd card neither... Please... The display is nice for the little device, though completely unusable if you want some correct colours...
The note... Gorgeous, huge display, battery, yet slim. Pen input (note taking and all else) is splendid. Would have a hard time losing that.
I'm looking forward to the ICS update for the additional pen functionality, not that much for the Android update... A side note to those who need ICS on the very first day: many applications didn't handle it very well, it's but now, that it starts working out. No wonder with a slim percentage of devices having it. I definitely prefer waiting a bit longer until things have settled...
N7000 rocks!
atm i have ipod touch 4g and galaxy note white. I cant imagine my life without note, especially when appeared dungeon hunters 3 game for android
Very happy. Sometimes i think...man, it's just too big, but then i use it and all this go away cause i realize why it's so big.
And come on, really guys, stop whining about ICS...i mean can't you just wait one more month ? ICS update is just one con...there's a lot of pros you seem to be forgetting.
I am extremely happy with my Galaxy note, had it since November and its still in perfect condition with no scratches on it whatsoever except that it sometimes need cleaning to keep it shiny as for the phone...I can't imagine going any smaller than 5" and for £629.99 that I paid...it was money well spent, I would have easily paid £800 for it, the best phone on the market even against those quad-cores because I don't think that much power is actually needed or will ever get used.
Had mine for 5 months. I use it as my office and no other phone I'v seen can do the job this beast can. Am still very happy
I love my phone it is gifted from my girlfriend , I became addicted to it, now i dont like any other phones because
1. they are not HD amoled screen looking at them is not pleasant to eyes somewhat annoying.
2. I am addicted to size of its screen which is awesome and very good size people really get curious when they see such big screen.
3. I am more of software person so installing and running application is very good in note.
4. Battery is also good.
5. Color is white.
6. AWesome loud ringtone.
7. easy to use cr4cked applications
8. latest phone
and the list goes on and on but enough for now
no offence to any other phone holders : Peace:

Reasons:
S-Pen scratches screen.
Can't use with one hand.
Display issues, banding, lines and distortions.
Heavy
Battery drains too quickly
Flimsy battery cover
ICS upgrade taking too long
Price is tanking too fast
Phone feels slower than Gnexus when it has better hardware.
TouchWiz crap
No LED notification
I sold my used phone for 550$, which is now the average selling price for brand new one. I bought at 680$ a few months back. The reason I had bought it is to act has a dual purpose device and omit buying a tablet and new phone. For that purpose, it does its job well but Samsung really cheapened out on the materials and slacking on software updates.
Got myself a brand new Galaxy Nexus for only 350$ (price error) and I find 10x better than Galaxy Note. I will never buy any other android phone if it's not from the Nexus line. I love the Nexus modern design and feel and progressive updates directly from Google. I use to have a Nexus S which was the THE phone that lured me away from my BB.
Good luck with the rest of you, I hope it brings you happiness as it did for me for a few months. Now I migrate to Nexus sub-forums.

Good Luck Mate!
I migrated from GNexus to GNote. I wouldn't give my reasons, as It would obviously start a disagreement here at the forums. I'm 10x Happier with the Note, except for the ICS part.
From My Nexus Experience,
= Use the GNexus Toolkit to Flash the ICS 4.0 Latest version (With Wallet, because the Other gave me errors). Before flashing, Make sure to get Root Access and Unlock Bootloader. If Flashing produces errors, or gives you bootloops, Erase the existing firmware using Manual Dos Commands in Fastboot mode. Relock the Bootloader after flashing, if you hate seeing the Padlock sign. For everything, Use the GNexus Toolkit, I think its a sticky in the development forum.
Have fun!
We obviously don't care about your opinion and are very happy to see go one less whiner is good for everyone else on this forum.
S-Pen scratches screen.- There's a thing called screen protectors. Use one.
Can't use with one hand.- Samsung included a one-hand operation keyboard if that's what you mean.
Display issues, banding, lines and distortions.- Supercurio is working on a fix and can be semi-fixed by setting screen mode to dynamic.
Heavy- Really? This phone is barely heavier than the iPhone 4S. You must be a weak man, work out!
Battery drains too quickly- Ahaha. yeah right
Flimsy battery cover- Flimsy or flexible? The Nexus uses the same one bro, just curved. And there are aluminum ones you can buy.
ICS upgrade taking too long- Have you tried custom roms, I mean this XDA where you get the latest and the greatest.
Price is tanking too fast- This one is the funniest one of all, the GNexus price is the one that is falling. A new GNexus on the Play Store is sold for $399 no contract, while a used N7000 will sell for $540.
Phone feels slower than Gnexus when it has better hardware.- I think you have a placebo effect going on.
TouchWiz crap- Custom roms? I wonder if you've ever used one?
Migrated from SGS2 to Note, and surely I feel this is better upgrade. The major deciding factor for me is the screen, if you need the biggest screen out there, you have to be here. Each to his own though....good luck
it'll be funny when he used Gnexus for a week and then think to himself, 'why the heck did I sell my Note? '
What's more funny is to see ppl using Xda forum yet not trying out new roms.
And I cannot see the Nexus have a better battery life than the Note. Stock wise.

Doesn't the Nexus have the same banding problems? It's the same screen tech. Anyway, most of the OP's reasons are kinda stupid. And the s-pen scratching the screen??? The screen can't be scratched by plain steel, the s-pen's plastic nub isn't gonna do a thing.
I am considering buying a nexus 7 16gb, is it worth the 314 AUD price tag? What do you guys think from your experiences? Thanks
Xxx oops! accidentally beamed from my awesome NEXUS S! xxX
Yes ! It is an amazing tablet and the first one born with Android Jelly Bean 4.1. It has a really powerful processor (NVidia Tegra 3 Quad Core (x4) 1.3GHz.). The size is really awesome, you can hold it fine with one hand. It is really smooth and fast. Worth to buy
It's absolutely worth it, get it right now. This device really is great, you've waited too long already.

I love my Nexus 7. I bought it even knowing that a ipad mini is rumored to come out next month.
If you love your Nexus S's Android OS, the Nexus 7 will not disappoint.
You really cannot go wrong with the price. I mean 250$ is dirt cheap. Especially for a Tegra 3 and 1GB of RAM. Really enjoying mine so far and I have an iPhone 4S and new iPad as well. Android has a special place in my heart for tinkering and this tablet is totally fulfilling that niche .

It has replaced my phone for everything but calls and texts, other than when I don't have it of course
I think the size is perfect as the ipad IMO is too big and heavy, 7 inch is perfect size
I bought mine on release weekend at jbhifi for $317, best choice
Buy it from a store so if you have problems, you can take it back like I did.

416mhz (but a lot of custom kernels overclock to 520)
OP: we can't really answer that (at least, not without information on your preferences). You should youtube the n7 in action and see if it seems to fit your needs.
The nexus 7 is very worth it. Your might have to return it a couple times if it has the defects like screen lift, light bleed, etc.
I doubt the iPad mini will be around 300 dollars, as the ipod touch costs 300 and is less than half the size.
If i were you, I would buy it!
I bought one yesterday and it's well worth it. Mine was built in August and doesn't seem to have any screen or multi-touch problems that others do.
Tapatalk made me send this.
I've had mine for a while and even with a little screen lift on the left hand side, I'd buy it all over again.
If you have the option, purchase an extended warranty that covers screen damage. That extra insurrance never hurt.
I'd buy that for any tab I'd purchase.
Buy it...you won't regret it. Your significant other may though. I think my girl is going to break mine if I don't put it down. Lolzzz

Not a smartphone, not a tablet, ...the future of pen and paper.
The modern day filofax?
It obliterates the competition.
To qualify, been a htc fanboi since spv. Loved how the wife's iphone keyboard never makes a spelling mistake, despaired how htc keyboard was useless. Blown away how everything just worked with the wife's ipad 3, unlike cheap android tablets. This leads me to this ultralight technological revelation, the Note 2. I've never used anything that you can write with a pen, that is so accurate. In business we still write so much on paper, this really feels like the future. Okay, I admit I'm blown away by it. And I never liked samsung mobli's before.
One criticism... this god awful cheap and nasty plastic chrome ring around the phone. Hellloo? 550 quid, give us some metal. The silver back of the iphone 5 is soo blinging tasty. But if metal adds weight, leave it off, the lightness of this device will make your jaw drop.
Happy rant over. Lol

Whenever some says, 'is that your phone?' I always say, "yes. It's more of a pocket tablet though".
My own rant: current media definitions of phone/tablet/phablet are STUPID.
Since when does something suddenly become 'something else' if it is .1 inches wider?
Does that happen with any other piece of technology?

I would describe it as the new Jesus Phone!
its a mini tablet, or a big smartphone. or phablet

I will always consider anything smaller than 7 inches a phone. That said, a 6 inch GN might be too big. So it's a phone you can use IMO, no need to zoom in to everything. At least that's what I'm expecting it to be.
When someone says wow is that ur phone ... I say if u think my phone is big .. well u can guess the rest lol
Only kidding
One word to describe bloody beautiful
I get stares when making calls ... it is very much a talking point !
Its a galaxy S3 transformed into a super sayian

I just received my Note 2. I purchased it to replace my 10.1" tablet and I couldn't be more pleased with it. My ASUS TF700 & kbd dock go up on eBay today - I won't miss hauling it around.
I tend to think of the Note 2 as a mini tablet more than a phone but I'm hoping that perception changes a bit as I carry it the next month or two. If I can see using it as my phone and tablet in one device I'll be purchasing the T-Mobile branded version with my upgrade when the Note 2 is released through T-Mobile. My .16 year old son really wants one of these things as a replacement for his WiFi Ipad 2 (we're not providing him with data for his phone - he'll need a job for that) so I'll trade him my international Note 2 for his Ipad if I doget the T-Mobile version.
Maybe it's a phablet. Time will tell.
GN2 is A Phone or Tablet with Magical stick (Jadu Ki Chadi).....:thumbup:
The phone wich can wash clothes...gives cool air from speakers..sends food and other things via attachment or bluetooth....and entertain you like GF.....
In short it can replace WiFe as well...LoL....:banghead::banghead:

Sadly, I had to return it today.
I loved it with all my heart but I barely used it and that didn't justify $426.
Maybe i'll try again next year.

Applied for a return too. Loved the design and the hardware, but in actual use it does not justify the price tag.
Maybe I would have kept it if it was like $299, but converted to US dollars I paid around $500 for the 16GB in my current country. Not worth it by a longshot.
I returned mine. To HTC to fix the buttons and the light bleed issues. I was able to get the the 32GB version for 399 with 429 dollar price match at best buy from amazon, and 30 dollars worth of best buy certificates. I absolutely love the tablet, but if HTC doesn't fix the buttons and screen, I'll likely get a refund on it.
Your Loss!
I could see that. I got it for 250 and really enjoy it but don't think it is worth more than 350.

I wish I bought it while I had the money
I wanted to buy one but I ****ed up the notebook and I needed to replace it. Galaxy tab 2 for another year.

Sold because you barely use it or you think it's not worth it?

I barely used it so not using it wasn't worth paying that much
Bought and returned 3x looking for one with reasonable buttons and an acceptable amount of light bleed. To no avail. #3 is also going back, this time for good, until HTC gets some of these quality control issues in check.
It's a shame, because I really want to love this tablet. And I already sold my Nexus 7...

Yes, better battery, but I'm not so sure jb and/or apps running with jb haven't lowered it (iPad 3 ios8.1.1). I borrowed this iPad to try it since N9 quality is still a crap shoot. I love the display size and clarity. That's it. But, since having it for over a week, I scarcely pick up my N7 FHD (I hate the buttons on N7 so recessed buttons on N9 won't do--even using soft buttons). This iPad screen is much easier for me to read. JB was even simpler than with Nexus, but still not what I want. Personally, I think the N9 is about $80. overpriced, but I'll probably end up trying one ($50. off) before long.

My iPad's sit piled up with my iPhone 6 on top. I havent used them in about 2 months.. Don't have my nexus 9 or 6 yet so I can't actually compare. But I am not 75 and don't need to be in a walled garden of sorts (assisted living environment).. IOS is good for non technical people that don't want to really think. I just prefer the customization and unlock ability of android. Don't get me wrong I always stay current with both IOS & Android as they both make strides every OS revision.

I'm sure google will be okay. :good:
I got the N9 to replace my paperweight N7 first gen that I managed to hard bricked doing a factory reset, and the bootloader is borked. Anyway, before the N9, I used my MBP 15" but now N9 travels with me around my house perimeter.

I didn't want to play the lottery with Best Buy, so I sent mine back to HTC with specific instructions on what needed fixing. If they ship it back to me and it's not to my liking, I'll get a refund from Best Buy. I can live without the tablet for 7-10 days, and if they fix it, awesome.

Actually, good idea. If you wouldn't mind (and remember to) could you PM me when you get your tablet back. I'd be interested to know if they are able/willing to take care of the tablet's quality issues using this method.
