I use this phone for everything from social media, to gaming, to talking and texting, to emailing, to shopping & to do lists. I keep track of bills and expences for the month, limit our data usage, which we dont come close to anyways, and even keep a personal journal/diary with pictures from my day. I love the Stylus and S-note, even though I questioned the use I would get out of them at first they are now a primary function for me that I would be lost without. :p I love my Galaxy Note II and will be glad to use this phone for the length of my contract and possibly beyond. :)
Perfect product for a productive and multi tasking life..Love my Note 2

Pros: The Multi window function, Editing is a breeze with the S Pen, Battery life is good, REMOVABLE BATT AND SD CARD), people always saying to me "wow that's big" every time they see it for the first time. Cons: Built is ok (Please Samsung make the body Aluminium or Mgnisium), Getting used to a big phone but duable, Screen is just a tad short of pixels from a Galaxy S3, Not able to store apps in the SD Card.
highly Recommended phone for: Multi tasker, productive people, PHotog editing on the go...
Excellent experience. .This was my gift for myself in my bday worth every penny..

If you are considering getting this phone get it! My only issue is that the predictive text doesn't work. I am sure an update will roll out before long though. Other than that all else is AWESOME!!! And if you think the phone may be too big for you it won't. I'm a 4'11" 24yo. So my hands are tiny.
I am a self confessed tech junkie. I have had 9 different Smart Phones in the last 2 1/2 years. To date, this is the best one I have ever owned. Unlike many others, I also paid full retail for this phone, so I expect a lot for the money. This device delivers!
First worth mentioning is battery life. It is on par with the Droid Razr Maxx HD, which is specifically advertised as having extra long battery life. I use my phone for business which requires a lot of on the road travel. I am in small towns and big ones and this phone is never short on power.
This is the second point; signal strength is very good as well. My Galaxy S3 was good, but this one is better. The radios are top notch.
The S-Pen is fun and useful. It is much easier to jot down a note than to type it. Once you get used to using the S-Pen you will wonder how you 'survived' without it. I am seriously contemplated buying a Note 10.1 to replace my iPad.
The phone is feature rich and future proof with the latest in technology too. A quad core processor, 2GB of RAM and expandable storage make this phone a device even a tech junkie could see keeping for a while!
If there is any negative it is the lack of onboard storage space. The Verizon version only comes with 16GB of onboard storage. This simply isn't enough for hard core gamers, which I am not. My music and photos are stored on the SD card, but apps must be stored onboard. Heavy duty games take up a lot of space. The one big game I have takes up 1.3GB.
My Gallaxy Note is the best phone, I have ever used, At first, I was unsure, because it was a large phone, I have had other Android phones before, but now that I have My Samsung Gallaxy NoteII, I wouldn't trade it for anything, I get excellent battery life, but did purchase an extra just in case. but as of yet, have never needed to remove it from the sales packaging, battery life, is just great. Also love the camera.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, camera
I would recommend this to a friend!
