I'm planning on getting the Galaxy note in a few days and I'm really curious on how hard or easy it is to get used to the device's dimensions?
1. How well does it fit into your jeans' pocket?
2. Can you still operate the device with one hand?
3. How awkward is the Gnote in making calls?
4. What was your previous phone? how big was it?
1. Just fine but sometimes in sweatpants when i sit it can fall out
2. One hand is fine for me minus the furthest left part and top half inch
3. I like making calls actually. I was tired of my ears eating my phone
4. Comming from a 4inch moto atrix and happy

1. I dont even notice it. I have had a Galaxy Tab in my jeans front pocket but that was noticeable. It feels the same as my Galaxy S2. But thats on a guy who is 6'2" and pretty thick, 290lbs
2. I got large hands, not huge. But i can handle it with one hand but not as easy and fast as the s2.
3. I dont realy know. The note feels kinda right in my hand but dont know how it looks on me. Guess i got a big head to so it might not look so weird.
4. Got the SGS2, SGT, LG O2X, SE X10, Blade, etc.
Oh... and it took a couple of seconds to get used to it. This is the size ive always wanted on my phone.
Fits easily into front jeans pocket!
My iPhone 4 with case actually feels more bulgy and heavy in the pocket.
Can easily hold in one hand, although sometimes I find myself using two.

1. it fit in most of my jeans. i got one slim fit jean which the phone is too tight for it
2. i can ( at first that my palm accidently hit 'back button' which next to home button but i got used to it later. anyway but i end up using 2 hands and its more comfortable like that
3. im cool with that as i don't talk much on the phone anyway but my mates made fun of me ( i guess it down to ppl taste ) i want big screen and i have no problem using it. so its their problem if they think its too big but i love the size
4. my previous one was nokia n900 3.5" which i think i never go back to anything smaller than note from now on.
I'm Set for the Note my last device is a Dell Streak
very interesting insights. Everybody seems to love the form factor and have very little complaints.
Surely getting the note!!!!
I'm coming from an HTC sensation and I never really felt like my phone was ever big enough. the 1 inch Jump will hopefully satisfy me

1. It fits just fine.
2. Hell no. I have big hands but I keep hitting the capacitive buttons. (since one is 'back' that's extremely annoying)
3. It's not awkward at all. I suppose someone will stare eventually, but I could care less.
4. a mytouch 4g. 3.8" screen, and it feels like a total toy now. After I used it last, I wanted to pat on its head and give it a bottle of milk.

1-I don't own a pair of jeans but it works fine in all my pockets, shirt, pants, whatever.
2-Not really.
3-Very awkward but improving with use.
4-Coming from SG2. Size of Note is not an issue for me.
1. Perfectly fine
2. No. But I prefer to use 2 anyhow.
3. Not at all
4. Dell Streak 5" had it for a year. No way would I be able to go back lower than 5"

1. It fits very well, if your jeans not so tight.
2. Yes it fits very good in one hand.
3. It works ok.

1. Couldn't fit in mine but I'm a girl, so female owners would probably just keep in handbag (away from keys and other sharp objects).
2. Yes, absolutely, but typing would be a real pain with one-hand.
3. Awkward enough that I think you need to get a headset. Again, for guys, it might not be that awkward.
4. Milestone 2, 3.7" screen, and looking back it looks "mini"

How long did it take for you to get used to the size?
An hour.
Slippery little sucker though.
Getting used to that.
I was having coffee this morning.
There was a girl with an SGI nearby.
I wanted her to notice my note, but she didn't.
After that I wasn't concerned about size.
They are going to sell 10M+ of these.
1. Easily.
2. Possible but what device is 'easy' to operate with one hand?
3. Not at all.
4. HTC HD2 4.3" screen.
When I first got the HD2, some people said, "geez it's too big"
After iphone4 came out they often said "is that an iphone???"
to which I replied, "Hell no!"
There will be no mistaking the GNote for an iphone.
I suppose this is the same size as the Dell Streak. I found that when I added the extended battery by Mugen, it was easier to hold.
The Streak is actually bigger. The Note is wider.

Is Mugen making an extended batter for the Note? Maybe it isn't necessary. I'm getting this on Monday and batter life is one of my #1 concerns.

Had the phone far to short time to tell the final conclusion about the battery life.
However. Today i spend about 4 hours using the phone heavy with the screen brightness on 75% i might ad. And the battery droped around 55%. Thats with the screen almost constantly on and playing, watching movie, browsing, drawing with the pen, etc.
And on the battery info its the screen that have sucked up about 70% if the juice.
The battery itself will performe better after a while and samsung will probebly realese software thats more efficient.
So to me it looks good atleast.
But i dont get why they dont just put in a 3-4ah battery and make the phone a 1mm thicker. Its not like this phone is going to be the thinnest and lightest. And the pen takes up alot of empty space.
But thats me. Would have been awsome if the phone could handle a whole day realy heavy use.
It took me no time at all to get used to the size for I am able to carry it everywhere I want in my pocket and the big screen makes it better for doing everything. When I pull it out to make a phone call near someone with a small phone I feel like saying "call that a phone", then holding aloft my Note I say "this what you call a phone".
I just got my Nexus 7 and I am NOT liking the ergonomics. I find it difficult to hold on the sides. I'm coming from a Nook Color which is easy to grip anywhere with one hand. If the edges were not as round on the back, I don't I think I would have such a problem. Also I had expected the "rubber" back to have better grip. I don't know if these are deal breakers for me just yet. Grip or holdability from the bottom is pretty good; I perhaps could get use to it. Everything else is amazing including build quality, except the usb cable is too short at 3 feet; I wouldn't use it, except charging is too slow without it. What's going to help with the ergonomics, a skin or case?
I think I'll add a poll on how well others like the ergonomics.
We've got some baby hands over here....just kidding, but I see what you're getting at. I actually like it for two hand usage more so than one handed. I however really like the feel of the tablet. It just feels solid and premium.

I always wanted a case the has a like a fabric strap that i can slide my hand into.
Saw it on American family Phil was using it on his iPad. I might just buy a case and fashion it on there myself

I'd say they could be better. The first thing I noticed was that I prefer portrait over landscape a lot. The home button is too far away from either of my hands in landscape making it awkward to press. It's also hard to type in landscape since it takes a lot of reach to hit the keys near the middle. Even the sleep button seems a little awkward to press. I have to take my hand totally off the tablet to get to it. I feel I might like it more once I get my case since I'm overly cautious about getting smudges on the bezel right now.
i prefer the homescreen portrait layout. The only thing that i can point my finger on is the tablet wants to be picked up due to the position of the sleep/wake button. Sometimes i prefer to just turn it on while its on the desk but that doesn't seem like an option anymore, also they could have made the screen slightly longer on top and bottom, but when putting it into landscape mode you can see the thinking
Don't get me wrong...I love the N7 but a few things I find difficult coming from the Nook.
every time I try to turn the volume up I end up turning the screen off....
90% of the time that i pick it up I have it upside down. I never had this problem with the Nook thanks to the little ring/hook.
I agree it's slightly awkward to hold, but maybe it's just because I'm being very reserved with my new baby. Gotta keep her clean for a little while at least...
First off... The Good:
It seems to protect the screen really well, I like that I can put it in my pocket and not worry about the screen. Even though I carry just my phone in that pocket, I still manage to get scratches on a screen protector. I know the protectors scratch easier, but its still the only thing in there...
Its slim and does not add bulk to an already very large phone.
The lining helps keep fingerprints to a minimum.
It looks really good.
The Bad:
It only protects the screen... and only when in your pocket. It does not latch closed in any way, so if you drop the phone it can come open during the fall, or if you put it in a pocket or purse with other objects, they can work under the cover. Flat objects (say an MP3 player, would probably be fine)
The back and sides are not protected in any way, so some may not like that.
The Ugly:
Its designed all wrong... it is... Most of the worlds population is right handed, yet this cover is designed to best work for a left handed person. (and even the copies, and heck even the iPad "smart" cover do this)
As a right handed person, when I use my phone, I usually hold it in my left hand, and interact with the screen with my right hand... this is doubly true for this phone due to the stylus.
Even when using it one handed, the case flips open the wrong direction. It opens toward my thumb when holding it in my left hand. So instead of grabbing the phone, and using my thumb to just flip it open and let it hang there as I type out a quick text, IM, or other such actions, I must use both hands to open the cover.
I also keep my phone in my left front pocket, because it allows me to grab the phone with the hand that holds it the most, as I want my right hand free to do other things or to interact with the phone. If I kept the phone on my right side, this issue would admittingly be less a hassle, but I have other important things over there... My Space pen (as it is compact and slips in my key pocket easy) Keys... a pocket knife with a pocket clip... I even started carrying other things in my right pocket that normally went into the left, before phones became too large, and in-pocket slip cases with clips became extinct.
Think I am full of it or just complaining? If you have a flip cover, try this little experiment.
Put the phone down, cover closed, and pick it up with your left hand, and then open the cover.
Now put the phone down, and place it upside down (top of phone pointing down, so the screen is upside down when looking at it) so the cover opens to the other direction.
Pick the phone back up with your left hand and open the cover again.
See how much easier it is to manipulate?
Final thoughts:
I really want to like this thing... and I do in a lot of ways, but I will definitely need to spend a little time with it to see if I can overlook its major shortcoming.
Why Samsung didn't make two versions, one that opened each direction, I don't know...
They have some TPU style cases that include a flip cover, and the Note II is fairly symmetrical, so a little modification might allow one of those to be put on backwards, and then work as I want.
Edit:
Returned the flip cover today... it just didn't work for me. If you like it and it works, good on you and stick with it.
I ordered a TPU case and will see how that does.
I am having issues with the larger size of this phone, one handed operation is not easy. Mostly it is getting to the back button, and the "send" button for messages. (as the enter button does not send) I may or may not be keeping the phone... we will see.
I always use my phone with my right hand, but I rarely use the stylus. Landscape keyboard typing is faster and I don't care to draw or hand write much. I'm surprised it doesn't have a way of staying shut - that really defeats the purpose of it.
I work aviation... and quite often I find myself crammed into small places working, and can't spare or get my right hand to my pockets (or where ever I placed the phone) very easily. Plus just general moving around about the house, I use my phones with my left hand. I like having my right hand free just in case I need to do something.
So far, I'm always holding the Note with my left hand, and writing with the s-pen with my right hand (or thumb typing in portrait with both hands).The flip cover makes sense to me as the edge of the cover isn't digging into my (left) palm when my left hand is cradling the phone.
To each their own!

What about taking pictures though. Seems like it may be a hassle to take pictures with the flip case

That's a pretty good point. I bet a lot of people don't think about that before buying it.
I agree with the OP, but I have to say the stock flip case is the coolest case I have ever seen. It adds almost no bulk to the phone and protects the screen perfectly. I, and everyone who has seen mine, LOVE it.
I have one and can use it with right or left hand no problem, you just get use to it. It's not ideal for everything, but it's workable.
As for using the camera, I just let it hang down out the way for landscape and hold it out the way for portrait. The ability to use voice to take photos is a big plus here
I also have a ShockSock which protects the whole phone when I'm out and about.
I'm learning to use it... but I am still unsure.

This is probably the most intelligently written and concise review I have ever read, both on this forum or on an actual review by a professional.
I totally agree with the left hand using it as a right handed person. I just received mine about an hour ago and I love the look, but I think I will be selling it as I don't want to screw it up so I can say it is indeed new. What a shame really. And yes the camera becomes a big issue.
I do think I would tire of opening the cover constantly as well. To each their own.

I love the flip case. After just a few days I've gotten used to handling and have adjusted completely to it. It's just natural at this point.

I was set on getting one. I only wanted a case that matched the color of the phone. When I went to the AT&T store to buy one, the rep said most of what you said. And how it got on his nerves to have to flip it around to ever use the phone. He had a S III (man I wish the Note was available in that garnet red). I played with a display that had one, and while it was soft and seemed like it would help wipe finger prints off like my TouchPad case does, it did worry me about flipping it open each time.
Just finally got the Samsung TPU case and my vinyl sample today. I am liking the case. Not bad for $18 with the Samsung coupon. Really tight, snug, and doesn't impede the S-Pen. Not as rubbery as I thought, I was worried it would be rubbery and sticky in the pocket.
I'm still getting used to the idea of a phone that isn't naked. After all these years of phones I haven't used a case before this phone.

As phones have gotten larger and even heavier, clumsiness increases... having a slick feel and no texture increases this.
After using this thing a couple days... I really think a case with some shock protection is in order. So I ordered a matte clear TPU case, matte for a little extra grippiness... and the TPU is stiff but absorbs a lot of shock when dropped.
I use my phone with my left hand, pretty much 100%. As such, I knew the stock flip would be a problem for me. I looked high and large for a vertical flip, and the best I found was this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009VKSVEW/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
I have never been a fan of cases, but this thing is so large it is inviting danger, so I figured I'd give one a chance. I also dislike the rubber cases. I like clean, smooth, and easy to use without having to rethink my entire phone operation. I thought the flip at the bottom might get in the way, but I find myself holding the entire thing between my middle and little fingers, and I actually have better reach one handed now. I still don't keep it on all the time, but I won't leave home without it now. It does add some bulk, but it was the only vertical flip that had a latch that didn't add even more bulk. My wife laughed when I made a phone calk and let the flap just hang under the phone since it hung to my chest...the front has a squishier padding over the stiff inner piece, the back is much firmer. The flap actually stays shut, but I can flick it off with one finger and be using my phone, even when walking two puppies.
I'll put up some pics of it on my phone, once I find some time.
I like the looks of the flip case but functionally it hinders my use of the phone. First time some one called me I about dropped it trying to hold it appropriately up to my ear for talking.
And especially the price...I returned mine within a day.
Im right handed and always hold with my right hand. I have had the flip case on the last 3 devices ive had.. love it! Its not for everyone, but I think its awesome.. and for the record, im willing to bet if you started a poll, right handed ppl hold their note (or ANY phone) right handed and do other things with their left (im holding a cup of coffee right now). If you can thumb type real well with your left hand then you are probably not right handed.. the reason I say this is because I believe Sammy does their homework with things like this.. a righty holding with left is probably in the minority.

Share your thoughts/tipsand tricks on how you use this beast on a daily. Being almost 6 inches in screen size, this thing isn't what I would call the most pocket able or friendly on a daily basis.
im 5'7", average size. have average sized hands. id never ever say that the phones too big. sure, it sounds big, but isnt. after several days of using it, my nexus 5 feels way to small now.

Hear hear @simms22, 2-3 days is enough for your hands and brain to get used to it
On the other end of the spectrum, I'm 6'8" and the phone looks like an iPhone 5 in my gigantic paws. However, I do use my little finger as a rest, under the phone while using it one-handed. I have no issues reaching any parts of the screen but the pinky finger underneath adds some stability.

To be fair, anything above 5,2 inch is almost juggling when trying to use it one handed unless you have Micheal Jordan hand size
Easy transition and has a comfortable feel. Most other device's now feel too small!
I'm 5'2 and have tiny hands, it took me about a day to get used to the size. I seriously forget the size of the phone until I put it in my pocket, that I cannot get used to for whatever reason. Also when I'm in the car and forget it doesn't fit in my cup holder lol The one handed part I don't really have issues unless whatever I'm trying to press is at the very top right part of the screen but I manage.
Using it one handed isn't an issue for me. I'm 6'7" and I wear XXL sized gloves. But it did take me a couple days to adjust to the new feel compared to my G3.
However, be careful when the phone is in your pocket and you're wearing shorts (especially athletic shorts) and your are sitting down. I've owned the phone for less than 3 weeks and it's already slid out of my pocket and hit the ground on multiple occasions (no damage fortunately).
I came from Note 4 and nexus 6 feels much better in the hand. I find my self sticking the phone in my jeans back pocket a lot and it works perfect. I even sat on it numerous times and this monster of a phone doesn't even care lol
When I'm at work (no jeans) I got used to carrying the phone. Otherwise, front pocket works just as good.
Mine is always holstered to my pants pocket, else I carry it in my hand for quick needs.
In the car, my Subaru has a sliding cover over the cupholder section before the center armrest, and my phone sits on top of that nicely.
In the supermarket, I keep the shopping list in my phone, which is quick to detach from the holster with one hand, unlock via the pattern with my thumb and see what's next on the list for nearby aisles (then, place it back in the holster). Usually one hand operation while the other is holding a shopping bag - if I have a cart, might use two hands for added convenience. I'm 5'11.5"
As most others mentioned above, it doesn't feel huge after a couple of days or so - frankly, everything else looks teeny, now. I can't see going smaller than this in the future, it's become a perfect size for my range of needs with it.
- ooofest
So, I just got a midnight black OP3T and couldn't be happier. Coming from the 6P this feels like a huge upgrade.
The thing is, my device has some play on the power button. It feels loose and rattles a lot, though it has a good click and does not affect its performance at all (and I hope it stays that way). Besides, I'm using a case anyway, but just knowing that the button feels loose whenever I take the phone out drives me nuts. I've doing some research lately and I can't seem to find any solution to this problem. If I understand correctly, buying a new flex cable won't do any good because the button is enclosed in the battery cover. So my question is, is it worth it to pry open the phone and try to tighten the button? Is that possible at all? Maybe inserting some tiny plastic on its enclosure or something... I'm at my wits end, please share your thoughts.

So, I just got a midnight black OP3T and couldn't be happier. Coming from the 6P this feels like a huge upgrade.
The thing is, my device has some play on the power button. It feels loose and rattles a lot, though it has a good click and does not affect its performance at all (and I hope it stays that way). Besides, I'm using a case anyway, but just knowing that the button feels loose whenever I take the phone out drives me nuts. I've doing some research lately and I can't seem to find any solution to this problem. If I understand correctly, buying a new flex cable won't do any good because the button is enclosed in the battery cover. So my question is, is it worth it to pry open the phone and try to tighten the button? Is that possible at all? Maybe inserting some tiny plastic on its enclosure or something... I'm at my wits end, please share your thoughts.

Request a RMA and get the device swapped. Problem solved

serioulsy are you thinking to open your brand new op3t, and btw void your warranty, and putting a small piece of plastic inside to tighten the button??? you can't be serious...
even if you feel a bit frustrated only thinking to send back your phone for a replacement I really suggest you to open a RMA...
