WOW!

I went from the HTC One SV to this, so it's an astonishing upgrade. Everything is smooth and fast. There are so many great features I don't what to do next on it. The battery life is pretty solid too, especially when you consider the size of this phone. I am running a launcher of 4.4 kitkat and I cant wait till verizon gets the official release. There are a lot of press and hold features that just make life easier. Samsung nailed it again!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, not cheap but worth the money!
I would recommend this to a friend!

JUST ONE WORD AWESOME

Released in 2011 the original Galaxy Note was the monster- sized smartphone that birthed the ‘phablet’ category packing a 5.3-inch screen in an age where the market-leading iPhone was still a comparatively tiny 3.5-inches. The Note seemingly proved that size does matter and it became something of an unexpected hit for Samsung. The company’s strategy with successors has been to see just how far it can push that screen size before a device becomes ridiculous and unwieldy, with the Galaxy Note 3 squeezing a 5.7-inch 1080p display into a chassis that’s actually a bit slimmer (both width and depth wise) than its forebear. It’s also easier to hold thanks to a rubber back (designed to imitate leather) which makes it less slippery than its predecessors.
The included stylus also operates a little differently. Rather than flinging you to a stylus-optimised home page when you pull it out you’re now presented with a little overlay that includes access to pen-driven note-taking search and the ability to run selected apps in a window or launch overlay utilities like the calculator phone or contacts list.
And it’s hard to fault on performance; with similar but slightly upgraded hardware to the Galaxy S4 (a quad-core Snapdragon 800 SoC at 2.3GHz and Adreno 330 graphics chip) the Note 3 is exceptionally fast and fluid in use and in benchmarks too. This is an Android 4.3 phone that’s smooth in operation with Samsung seemingly having ironed out those slight stutter issues we saw in the Galaxy S4.
So is 5.7-inches too big? We’d say NOT AT ALL . If you’ve used the Note II you probably won’t have any trouble adjusting. The thinner edge bezels actually mean your thumb is operating in about the same area when it comes to keyboarding.
If you’ve already got a Note II there’s perhaps not quite enough here to justify an upgrade. For anyone else just looking for a big phone that’s still (just) comfortable this is one worth taking note of.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, tough body

I LOVE my Galaxy Note 3!

My job keeps me constantly moving, so I use my phone as my office. Having the tablet features keeps me reminded of what I need to do and I use a lot of different apps to keep me where I need to be. People have remarked on its size, but it's perfect for what I need.
Pros: Bright display, Durable
I would recommend this to a friend!

Worst phone ever-doesn't work!
on October 11, 2014

I was really excited to upgrade from my Note II to the Note 3. BUT...the trouble started the second I booted the phone. It froze and crashed multiple times on the initial setup and I had to remove the battery to get it to reset. This was while the system was updating. I gave the phone the benefit of the doubt but here are the multitude of problems:
Restarts randomly, even when idle
Gives notifications but doesn't tell you WHAT it is notifying you about (no icon in the notification bar)
Freezes
Won't silence-vibrates all night so I have to turn it off, meaning no alarm, no notice if emergency call, etc.
These are just the really bad things. Other annoyances are, no face-unlock, titles of notes cover up the note (in S-note).
Some improvements over the Note II include the back cover being a bit less slick and a few more features with the S-pen. BUT it is not any good if the phone doesn't work!
Pros: Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations, reboots, freezes, won't silence
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have had to get 4 note 3s so far as each one through Verizon kept loosing calls or could not connect to a network.
4th phone, 2 sim cards and a few network tickets.
The next phone I get might just be an I phone and through another carrier.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
