I love the capabilities of this device. I can travel for a few days without my computer because it lets me read and edit word, excel and even powerpoint. The phone functions well, too. What I don't like: The linking feature in the contacts list has somehow caused me to lose most of my phone numbers. It is difficult to find things. When I store anything other than a "note," I can never find it again. I haven't been able to figure out how to assign a different sound to each notification function, so I'm stuck with the same noise for texts, tweets, e-mail arrival, etc instead of a different sound for each. It might be easy to do, but I haven't stumbled on the trick. I say "stumble" because 'help' is virtually non-existant. It seems to have a spell check capability cuz I get the squiggly lines but I haven't figured out how to make it tell the correct spelling. I finally figured out how to turn off the auto text because it kept changing my words to what IT wanted instead of the name or acronym I needed. I spent more time re-typing and re-typing and re-typing a single word and it would still be wrong. Drove me NUTS! And lastly, why can't I read an e-mail when I turn the screen sideways? Sometimes I want to read it in widescreen but when I turn it, all I can see is the message list. All that said, there's a lot more that I like than not and I would buy another one in 4 or 5 years after I get my money's worth out of this one.
I have been and continue to be impressed by the features and performance of this device. I was skeptical about the size but my husband talked me into it and I do not regret it one bit!
Much better than rest. I have had cell phones for nearly 30 years...many different phones. I am a gadget person. This is by far, my best and favourite.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color
Cons: Too big
I would recommend this to a friend!

It's an awesome product, it does everything I need it to do and more.
This is my 3 smart phone but my first Samsung phone and I have to admit I thought the size was way to big for me but as I got use to it I was amazing at all the cool little things I can do with it. The display shows the great photos that I take with the Note 3 and it allow me to edit them with easy. Its also a very powerful phone and faster too, a lot faster then my Droid Bionic. Battery life is strong even with heavy usage(playing games, facebook, youtube, etc..) during the day.
I just recently went on vacation and I normally bring a camera and a laptop, not this time. My note 3 did both double duties and more.
Thank you Samsung for making an excellent product!
