Purchased today, giving my Note1 to my daughter(see doesn't like her IPhone of 4 months, wants larger display for kids pictures) love it , getting to know it. How can anyone not like it?
I've been a fan of the bigger sized phones for some time and Samsung has been paving the way in terms of quality large phones. I remember when I had the 4.5in screened Samsung Infuse and it was considered large. I've had a Note and Note 2 and loved both. Note 3 continues the tradition of keeping everything that worked, improving where needed, and adding features I wouldn't have even thought to ask. So many of the little annoyances I had with my Note 2 have been addressed. Its clear they put a lot of thought into finding out what people loved and wanted changed.
When I first held the phone I fell in love. The form factor is just great and the screen is a noticeable jump up. That's saying something when the Note 2 already had a stellar screen resolution. I don't feel the need to have this one in a case. The slippery back of the Note 2 required a case as I dropped it a couple times when holding it bare.
Rather than go on feature by feature I'll suffice to say everything feels like a great and noticeable improvement. S-pen, camera, screen, on and on its the phone I loved before but better in every way I could have asked for. I've tried dozens of smartphones over the past 5 years. The Note 2 was the first one I actually held onto for a year. I easily see myself holding onto the 3 that much or longer (depending on when they bring out a 4th ;) ).

Awesome falls short of describing the Galaxy Note 3!

I just picked up my Note 3 today, and I must say I am more than impressed I wasn't to excited about it since my wife has the Note 2. I wasn't expecting such and improvement from the already almost flawless Note 2, I was in for a surprise. I can't, I won't ramble on and on about every feature cause I will bore most of you reading this. The feature that I love most about this product is the one hand mode option, that either wasn't mentioned during the launch or I just missed. I had been planning how I was going to set up all my favorite and most frequently used apps towards the bottom to make one hand use easier. With the one hand mode activated there is no need to pick most important apps, thery are all within reach single handed. Samsung did an awesome job on this listening to pros and cons of all there previous handsets and trying there best to get rid of all the negatives. I'm sure someone will find something about it that won't satisfy them, but as for me I am one happy Galaxy S, Galaxy SII, Galaxy S3, and now Galaxy Note 3 owner.
