What can I say? This is the best phone I've ever had. I never dreamed that a cell phone could be this easy to maneuver in. I love this phone, it's awesome!! The speaker phone works, I can actually hear. The picture screen is beautiful, both color and display. I thought it would be cumbersome to carry around, but it's not. It's nice, as you can see the screen and actually read what's on it! I want to keep this phone as long as it'll work... Forever!
I was currently inbetween the Samsung S3 and Note II at the time when my wife received her Note 3. After seeing how robust the features were and how much better it felt in my hands I knew I had to upgrade. The main feature was the stylus. I'm able to take notes more efficiently during meetings and with a larger screen it made multitasking a etter experience. That's exactly what I would call it, an experience. I have a multitude of devices; from laptops, tablets, and desktop computers. I have pretty much replaced all of them when it came to updated social media, photo editing, word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, or entertainment (games, movies, music, etc). At this point I am convinced that I will always own a version of the Note. It can only get better which means my life will be better.
Simple to personalize. This phone has been tough , reliable , and most of all has kept a great network signal. I absolutely love Samsung phones and the only regret I have is that I didn't switch from Iphones sooner.
this phone does come unlocked for all companies, but you do have to put in the company network in order for the internet to work , DOES NOT come with original charger though! Besides that this is a great phone!
I love using my SGN3, compared to other much less expensive (and expansive- being the only android I own with much more than 8 gigs on-board). I just use it as a small tablet, because its a Verizon, and I use Boost Mobile, with no intention of switching.(I have another android through Boost that I use for phone, sms and apps I already had installed on it.) The wopping 32gigs just onboard this SGN3 without an extra sd card had me hooked when I could download apps that- on my other android, would require that sd card to opperate. I'm mainly a passive gamer, usually with H.O. Adventures out of Big Fish, G5, Artemis Munde, or the occasional Gogii to name some, along with the occasional Role-playing D&D type game. I rather enjoy having 4 or 5 of those games, plus a few simple [puzzle, card, match 3, ect.] types at a time, instead of one big game or a couple small ones. On a different note, my creative side has discovered the numerous possibilities I can get lost in, artistically. Especially with this specialized Stylus-Pen which won't work on any other android, although a regular rubber tipped metal stylus will work with this device, but without the fine accuracy. I have several coloring books I like to explore, and several photo-editing apps to play with, after I've done some tinkering of my personal pics via the stock editor, which does have some neat effects to use in itself. I haven't tried actually drawing anything, yet. Maybe I will after I get bored with exploring coloring books or photo editors. Finally, did I say I love this Android Device/Mini-Tablet/Phone (if I chose to use that function)? I certainly can't think of anything I hate about it.
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight, just one? my long review covered a slew of pros...
I would recommend this to a friend!

For an older model Galaxy Note, it performs great and looks good. The chrome trim would be my only complaint, scratches to easily but other than that it's an awesome phone for it being an older model!!
