More than a phone a real business tool

Expertise:Expert
My brother has an iPhone 5S and he's just as amazed as I am at how well I can enter data and use apps using the SPEN stylus. The iPhone can turn apps on and off but it's very limited for data entry unlike the Note 3 I have. Even though I'm left handed I'm so pleased how the handwriting recognition works and improved as I used it. I've used many phones over the years working as a road warrior sales person and I honestly see this product as light years ahead of the competition. If you want a real tool....Learn how to use what some are foolishly calling Samsung "bloatware". Have someone show you how you can jot a quick note or fully use the "Air Command" function of the stylus and you will understand how the others are toys compared to this well thought out device. I watch videos and slide shows and can simply pause, click the button on the stylus and do a screen grab in whole or part then annotate, place either in a journal, folder or scrapbook while adding tags, additional notes etc. I've used it to take intensive notes in meetings including adding voice memo recordings, projected screen capture using the camera to seamlessly combine into the best work notes I've ever made. Not only that but using a CRM I can do everything else on a screen large enough to have clients view a quick attention grabbing video or have them sing there name on a virtual document. Want a toy go by something else....want an investment that pays dividends every time you use it....then you need to buy this instead. I hope Samsung continues providing a phone with this form factor and features to meet my business needs. MJH
Pros: Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight

Finally, A Note to Fit My Hand
on October 19, 2013

Expertise:Intermediate
I avoided the earlier Note models because they were simply too large for me to handle comfortably, but I minute I held this one I knew I could finally get the tablet-like features I was looking for in a phone. I love this phone, especially the stylus compatibility and the larger size display, not to mention the fantastic camera.
If I have one complaint about this phone it is that the documentation is miserable. The Device Help applet is of limited usefulness. Fortunately, the phone's interface is largely intuitive, but if you need to know how to make the multi-window feature work, get help from your carrier. I still haven't figured out how to get the back off the phone because I don't see an "indent in the cover"!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, hi def screen resolution, great camera
Cons: poor documentation

Overblown.
on November 1, 2013
Posted by: Quasar
Samsung should have merged the following apps into one: S-Note, Action Memo, Scrapbook. Would be great to have more cross platform compatibility of S-note. And also S-pen functionality could be somewhat more than it is now. A lot of bloat-ware built into the phone too.
Samsung could let owners of its phones to download more ringtones for FREE from its website.
Way too many features, but they are not well thought of and are just raw.

Never thought I would buy a Note!!!
on March 13, 2014

I always thought the Note was too large... after the Note2, I seen how thin it was, I wanted to get one. Sadly, I couldn't get one at the time because of finances and renewal contracts etc. Finally after my latest unnamed Sony phone bit the dust out of nowhere... I got the Note 3. Completely changed my perception of the phone. I am used to having to root my phone and fix a lot of the issues via OS changes nad etc. I am very pleased with this OS, its smooth and not as clunky as my Captivate nor the other S2/S3.
Glad I didn't settle with a S3 or S4... is all I have to say. I am a heavy computer user and I am always working. The Note 3 is the perfect balance between work, play and more work.
My favorite feature has to be the quick side menu and dual screen. Just wish I could add and remove programs from it.
The only issue I have is the bloatware that comes with the AT&T edition... I think the apps that come on the phone AT&T and Samsung should be uninstallable... not just hid-able... some are just not necessary... AND slows the phone down and kills the battery. Let users decide what they want. OR give the option in the beginning during setup.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: bloatware

Amazing Phone with 1 Catch...
on October 19, 2013

#1 - I LOVE this phone, it is the best, fastest and most capable phone I have ever owned (switched from an iPhone). I am thoroughly impressed with the processing power, expandable memory and crystal clear HD screen. The S-pen is absolutely awesome, and the handwriting recognition is excellent (and I have terrible penmanship).
The only reason this phone received a 4 star rating is for the massive amount of bloatware that came with Samsung and AT&T. I was super excited to utilize the 3GB of RAM with MY OWN apps, however, every time I open the task manager it shows 1.8GB being used, when NOTHING is running. When I force close all active apps to clear the RAM 35-45 apps are closed... A little disappointed with this, but it has not been a problem yet.

Changed the game

It changes the game. Extremely lightweight. The screen offers a ridiculously clear picture. It's like carrying a little Samsung HD TV in your pocket. I travel a lot and it has been the best companion for trips and works well in the office. Anyone looking for the phone that can truly do it all should look towards the Note 3.
Pros: Realistic color, Lightweight
