Great all around phone

This phone is a great all around phone. I run my own carpentry business and this phone does it all from note taking to estimates to billing. Love the large display. I just wish the the version that my carrier provides did not have removed features like the scroll around home screen.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

What I've been waiting for!

Finally! A phone than I can also use as my notebook (work and personal) and as my digital sketchbook! OK, I'll be honest - it's mostly for my digital sketchbook. I'm still playing around with it (about a week ownership) but I"m excited to put on Sketchbook Express. I'm still looking for a good notebook option, especially one that I can use at my job. MS OneNote would work, but my company doesn't allow cloud syncing, and Evernote doesn't support handwriting input (that still baffles me, but that's a rant for another day).
I was afraid it would be too big, but it's not. It fits great in my pocket, but I can just use it with one hand. I've had previous Samsung phones before and I thought they were all designed well. In fact, my first 'smartphone' was a Samsung SCH i760. I loved that thing, even past my regular upgrade date.
I only have 2 complaints - 1) the power button is directly on the other side of the volume keys, which means I always accidentally change the volume (i.e., the ringer) when I turn the screen off with my thumb and I don't know it. And 2) the vibrate option isn't the last option for ringer volume - it's total mute. Which means I can miss a call or alert because it accidentally went to mute when I want it on vibrate (see #1). That doesn't make sense to me. On my previous phones, vibrate was the last one.
However, despite these cons (which I think knocked it down 1 star), I am excited to use my otherwise AWESOME Galaxy Note II !!!!
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, thin, s pen
Cons: volume button placement, ringer mute/vibrate option
I would recommend this to a friend!

a very well designed phone

This is a premium quality device that is as close to perfect as the current state of technology allows. The S-spen seems well done, and the touchwiz features are well thought out. Usually newer ideas and products tend to be so rough as to be kind of junk in consumer terms but the galaxy note ii has been the Opposite from that for me in almost every way.
After saying this I wish it had better durability, water proof for accidentally dropping in a little water, drop resistance for a drop from a standing person to cement. Since cases are the standard not the exception it seems reasonable to try and integrate the features of them somewhat. Might as well come with a couple screen protectors and one preinstalled.
during one handed use I mis-press the physical keys a lot. camera seems to take grainy pictures for me.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Lightweight, battery life, screen size, touchwiz, thoroughness
Cons: durability, physical keys, camera
I would recommend this to a friend!

Man I can never go back to a smaller screen be caused im in love with it. I find out that I love writing my text messages and tweets with my s pen. I never experienced lag on this phone. I love this phone. The battery life is great
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Lightweight

Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, size
Cons: need front speaker not loud enough

It's incredible huge but I get used to it. Very functional, multi purpose, all what I want and more. I wish Samsung keep working on inventing faster microprocessor and better battery life. This battery life is the only problem. I am hoping the price of SGN 2 should be lower soon!
Cons: short battery life, dim screen
