I USE TO HAVE AN IPHONE 4 AND WAS DUE FOR AN UPGRADE. I DECIDED TO TRY A DIFFERENT BRAND OF PHONE. I WAS VERY HESITANT ON LEAVING APPLE. LET ME TELL YOU THAT I AM SO HAPPY WITH THIS PHONE. IT IS ABSOLUTLY AWESOME. THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST PHONE I EVER OWNED. MY WIFE DECIDED TO GET THE IPHONE 5 AND I AM SO GLAD I MADE THIS MOVE INSTEAD. I AM FOREVER A SAMSUNG/ANDROID CONSUMER.
I like everything about this phone, It takes Great pictures and videos, the quad core processor is a dream, it never locks, hangs, or lags like my RAZR MAXX did, battery life is pretty good, I can get through 1 whole day to about 10pm, before having to recharge it, If you can get past the initial shock of the size of this phone, you to will like it!! When I first looked at this phone in the store, I thought "NO WAY" it's way too big, but after owning and using it, all other phones now look like postage stamps. If you like cutting edge technology, and speedy operating system, this is the phone for you!!!
Pros: Lightweight, fast operation, great photos, great videos, quad core processor, panoramic pictures

Best Smart Phone I have owned

Having owned a BlackBerry for the last five years, I finally decided to give up on that platform and switch to Android when I broke my BB during a cycling crash. I must admit that any new current Smart Phone nowadays would blow away my old BB but this Galaxy Notes 2 (Verizon) is in another league altogether. There is nothing I can really add to the list of strengths for this phone that someone else haven’t already mentioned so I will just say this to those who are on the fence about getting this phone because they are concerned that the phone is too large.
JUST GET IT!
The size of this phone will quickly become irrelevant once you start using it. In fact, once you get used to the size of this phone (and you will), other phone will seem puny in comparison and you will wonder how other people can stand using those little phones :P.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, good battery life, powerful, great camera
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love It

I am 58 years old and my daughter was an avid iphone, ipad user. She always said, "Mom, you need to get an iphone." Then the ipad came out. I kept saying; why don't they make a phone and pad together so I won't need two devices. My son convinced my daughter to try the new Samsung phone and she loved it. When I saw the Galaxy Note II, of course, I thought it was too big, but it was just what I desired to have and the price was right. I was getting two devices in one. I am very glad that I decided to try the Samsung Galaxy Note II. I love it. It works for me and I am having fun using it.
Thanks Samsung!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Lightweight, fun to use
I would recommend this to a friend!

my wife and I bought this phone together.after much hands on with other phones we really enjoy the operation of this phone and fell in love with it.very fast and comfortable to use.
I have enjoyed every minute of the Galaxy Note 2. I have been an Android user for years and have had many phones over that time.
This phone has been by far the best I have had. The size is PERFECT. It is extremely powerful, thin, light weight and has a fantastic screen. The S Pen is pretty awesome as well. Also, the camera is absolutely outstanding. I seriously doubt I will ever go back to a normal sized, smaller device.
In the next versions of this phone, a 1920x1080 display is a must as well as Gorilla Glass.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, thin, prefect size, camera
