So, as the title says, I'm thinking of buying this phone. What's the pros and cons? Is the screen too big? Does it fit in your pocket? Is it practical?
Really need your opinions, Note owners!
Regards
Its been answered a million times but yeah when you first get it it will seem to big buts its not..
it fits perfect in all of my pants pockets with no issues..unless you wear skinny jeans or something i dont see why it wouldnt..
i mean you wont be doing things one handed like a smaller phone but this is the best phone i have ever owned.
Same here! This is by far the best phone i've owned and i have had iPhone 3gs, iPhone 4 and Lumia 800. It feels really big when you take it to your hand first time. But like said, it's still very portable and after a while you'll notice that: "damn, how small those 3,5" screens are". I can't imagine of using a phone with smaller screen than this anymore. I just don't want to. ha ha!
The screen is fantastic!! Reading, typing, watching videos, playing games...etc. is just wonderful. I'll say, go for it!

The screen is definitely awesome and you will not want to go back to anything smaller. I have had an iphone 3GS, Atrix, and Blackberry and the Note is definitely my favorite. It fits in my pockets as well. I typically keep it in my back pocket, but that's just me. Like MrDSL said, unless you have skinny jeans it should be fine. It is definitely practical in my opinion.
Warning:
You might get people asking you "Is that a phone or a tablet?" or other crazy questions. I just smile.
The phone is definitely big, but... the screen simply destroys any other phone. I bought the Note several monts after my ASUS Transformer and I can say if you have good eyesight it can easily replace a 10.1" tablet for web surfing and movies.
Another advantage is the size of the on-screen keyboard. In landscape mode is so big I found mor confortable to use Thumb Keyboard for a split one.
Is a great phone... a little big maybe but its thinness makes it very pocketable.
just do it
Don't even think about cons, there aren't any!
Buy it and you will change the way you see smartphones. I have it 6 months and even now i would choose it over HTC One X. The screen is beautiful, the s-pen is perfect and the power is limitless ;-)

too big for one hand use. too awesome for everything else.
Best battery backup too.
I've owned about 60 phones through the years including a couple of iPhones, and the Note is the most badass gadget i've ever owned. It's the device i dreamt about 10 years ago.
It may look too big at first, but after a day or two, not so. I'm never getting anything with a smaller screen after this.

Best phone I have ever owned. My last phone was the Desire HD and I actually don't notice the Note in my pockets as much as that phone. Its fast, light, great screen, good connection with 3g, wifi, bluetooth etc. Highly recommended.
Agree with all the comments cept I would add that it even fits in my skinny jeans pockets. Personally can't even imagine myself with an s3...

And why is that?
- It looks like something girls without tampons would use for a couple of days a month (pads)
- The specs doesn't impress me. I didn't expect much, but still.. Not worth it.
Well even though I wasn't too impressed with the GS3 from what I had seen I got caught up in the hype as it neared launch and ended up buying one. My battery cover didn't snap correctly and overall build quality was not impressive, so now I got the ATRIX HD.
Reasons I prefer the ATRIX HD..
-Build Quality and materials are far superior to the samsung (Gorilla Glass, Kevlar backing, metal buttons etc. it just feels put together so much better than my gs3)
-Design is more appealing (the oval blasé design of gs3 left much to be desired & I think the razor-esque design of the ATRIX HD with the more rounded corners is really nice. From the titanium bezel in the front to the all black casing that surrounds the Kevlar backing this thing just looks sweet!)
-On Screen Nav Buttons (I've always thought it was a mistake manufacturer's never adopted the futuristic buttonless design of the Gnex)
-Hot Swappable Micro SD (Love the side loading approach to memory cards)
-Dedicated HDMI port (Finally got a HDTV so its gonna be cool not having to use the stupid mhl adapters)
-Skin is much closer to stock ICS than the heavily skinned touchwiz(or any manufacturer skin for that matter) in fact there is no more motoblur just a few tasteful customizations(still use apex for that stock look and feel!)
I know there are some tradeoffs going with the ATRIX as opposed to the GS3 but it just feels like an overall nicer phone to me. Wasnt really loving the Baby blue color or the flimsy battery cover on the gs3. I'm happy with my choice but either way I gotta say AT&T is killing the game right now between the ATRIX HD, GS3, One X, Lumia 900 etc. theres something for everyone. :good:
Great post. I have a GS3 with a few days left in my remorse period. I like the GS 3 just fine but it's a bit underwhelming. The screen is actually quite dim and I need to keep it on max brightness to enjoy it at all. However camera and battery life are superb.
What trade offs are there? Early reviews say the camera is pretty lame and battery life so so. Can you comment?
bummer, phonearena just came down pretty hard on this phone.

Thanks! Yes I had my GS3's brightness turned to 100% the whole time too so I know what you're talking about. The camera on the GS3 was good but still wasn't good as my old iphone 4s. Battery is one area you might take a hit because ATRIX HD has bout -200mah but considering the screen is 4.5" it should be comparable. Much happier with the ATRIX HD though it has way better design and build.
Love the post man. I too exchanged my GSIII for the ATRIX. I love it. The battery has taken a hit coming from the GSIII and for some reason I can't get my micro sim to actually stay in the slot but other than that its great!

well i had that problem too but for some reason its up side down i mean the circuit on sim should face up when u put your sim card in and have to use some pointed thing to press it in... i had to struggle a lot to get it in and is same for micro sd too!!! and by the way does your flap that cover the ports stays flush with the body of the phone coz mine is sticking out a little bit from the bottom
:fingers-crossed:
I just switched from my HTC one x to the ATRIX HD. I am loving this phone so far. It truly is a great device. I like the 4.5 display and love the display. Personally I like this display over my HTC One X.

Yeah but they slammed the battery and camera and said the phone doesn't compete well with the GS 3 which has a much higher rating.

For me this phone is perfect. I practically got it for free and its an improvement over my Atrix 2.
Although I do think the SGS3 is a superior phone, I just wish it didnt feel & look so cheap. Plus I didnt like the UI.
I didnt like the HTC One X at all.
My rating would go down if the phone would have costed more than $100
It blows away other phones at the same price.
I keep the Galaxy S III for one day and swapped for the HD. I left IPhone and Atrix 2 was my first android. I have never trusted Samsung phones and was leary when I left store with it. I just think Motorola is on par with Apple with build and quality. I know they are almost as locked down as Apple products. But like I've read here, "my android DID what YOUR iPhone can't". Love that quote.

Some of those Benchmarks are inaccurate because some of those tests cannot run the GPU correctly on the Snapdragon S4.
Finally got some hands on time with this phone. Love the UI and it's fast as others have said. 3 things kept me from trading my GS 3.
1. The screen is noticeably smaller than the GS 3. It starts off with smaller dimensions and then the always on screen buttons cut into usable display size. It felt cramped.
2. It felt quite cheap in hand and lacked the premium feel of the galaxy and HOX. Even though the galaxy is plastic it feels more sexy and solid.
3. As many have pointed out the camera simply fails to measure up to the HOX or galaxy. I took identical pictures with all 3 phones in the store and the atrix lacked detail and sharpness. All 3 were on auto.
It's a great value with the dock but its worth the extra 100 to step up.
I dont want to start an argument but how does this feel cheap? It to me feels loads better than the s3 and a little better than the 1x which was better than the s3 the s3 i returned within 24 hours. It was nice but didn't put me in any jaw dropping moments. Guess you prefer plastic feel.

The thinness and contours and blue color of the S3 give it a more solid and premium feel IMO. A little more weigh because of the large battery helps in this regard. This is admittedly subjective.

I compared the outdoor readability and general brightness comparing the s3 and hd side by side and the hd on easily. Of course the hd takes a battery hit bc the screen can get so bright. The only area screen wise that the s3 wins on is the darker blacks but I could care less about that. The hd is a very solid phone, i love it. Im gonna get pissed though if at&t releases an hd maxx with a bigger battery in time for Christmas.

Sadly, I was not impressed at all with the SGS III - too cheap feeling with a clear-coat that shows every fingerprint. Hardware-wise it's awesome, but design-wise I do not like it - maybe if it came in black or dark grey with a rubbery coating. I don't want a large, slick phone. For $150 less, I picked up the Atrix HD and I'm fairly happy with it so far, just hoping to find a way to improve battery life.
I watching the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=66-4uMQqerA
and I noticed that Nexus 4 looks seriously thick.. So I googled and well
133.9 x 68.70 x 9.10 mm LG Nexus 4
135.5 x 67.94 x 8.94 mm Galaxy Nexus
134.4 x 69.90 x 8.90 mm HTC One X
136.6 x 70.60 x 8.60 mm Galaxy S 3
128.8 x 58.60 x 7.60 mm iPhone 5
Seriously what were they thinking? I already find my Galaxy Nexus so thick .. this device will feel like holding a Nokia N95 or something. I was really looking forward to this one. I mean amazing phone and price ... but this seriously makes me stop and think about it again.
I think making the phone thinner is important.
What do you guys think?
Are you sure you're going to notice 0.16 mm extra thickness?
If you think this device is thick check thickness and weight of nokia lumia 920
I told you I already feel the Galaxy Nexus is thick. I was looking forward for the next nexus becoming thinner.. 8.94 is not exactly a good thickness already

As a htc one x owner (0.04 difference) I think htc one x is very slim. Maybe its about me because after using nokia n95(+20mm) every phone feels slim to me
Then don't get it.
The added thickness is due to the integrated inductive coil for wireless charging. The Galaxy Nexus was 8.94mm with a 1750mah battery and lacked any kind of wireless charging. Are you telling me that 0.16mm is more important to you than a bigger, 2100mah battery and the ability to wirelessly charge? Seriously, when did 9.1mm become "too" thick?
Not to mention the back is also covered in Gorilla Glass.
9.10 mm thick?? With those extra 0.16 mm I could stick an ace of spades playing card on the back of my Nexus!
Oh wait, that's right, a card is 0.273mm... I suppose adding 58% of a playing card isn't all that much. Chill out man.
While I totally agree complaining about 9.1 mm is more than asinine, it is curious that this is thicker than the Optimus G. I imagine wireless charging probably is to blame.

I think you need more to worry about...
Figures are meaningless untill you feel the real thing in hand.
The S3 is wider than the 1X on paper, but easier fits in my tiny hands.
The 8X is thicker than most smartphone flagships on paper, but feels much better than most of them in hand because of its curling edges...
GOOD!
I bought the extended battery for the Gnex and it feels so much better than with the small one. Adds a little bit weight and makes the back a bit rounder.
If the new one is like this from the beginning then even better.

There is no doubt that it is the wireless charging that is the reason for the increase in thickness. It is also partly the reason the Lumia 920 is also thicker at 10.7mm. The dazzling crystalline effect and wireless charging more than make up for the change in 8.45mm vs 9.1mm from the Optimus G to the Nexus 4.

Screen Size
Anyone was able to find the leaked PDF? I'm wondering if the screen size of 4.7 includes the touchscreen buttons. I really want to get this phone but if the three touchscreen buttons are part of the 4.7, that means this is a small display size.

Anyone else slightly regret not going with the s4? Not that I don't love this phone, it's just that there are some things that annoy me. Such as the back and home buttons not responding sometimes. Then there is the horrible vibration that has me turning off haptic feedback. Which sucks because I loved having it on with the s3.
Honestly the haptic feedback thing is what is killing me. This has been an issue since the OG EVO.

I've commented on this in a couple of other threads, but picking the One over the S4 was a no-brainer. The S4 is nice, it's definitely fast, but grip ergonomics are where it matters for my personal tastes. The One is far better designed I feel than the S4. Somewhere along the line Samsung forgot that cellular phones are used by human beings who typically have hands smaller than an NBA center. Also, thickness isn't even a competition here - the S4 is like a brick compared to the One.
The One, especially the black One, took the best design concepts from the iPhone 5 and improved upon them significantly. The phone feels right. I'm sure the S4 is great, but this phone is better for me.

I'm saying that unless my local Sprint store had the S4 in some kind of protector case that I didn't notice, which was possible because I put it down almost the moment I picked it up, I held a phone that was marked as the Galaxy S4 that was considerably thicker and heavier than the HTC One, and it didn't fit into my hand at all. I could easily be wrong - the difference was so clear holding the One that I was quickly turned off by the S4. Being $100 cheaper also helps. My apologies if I have incorrectly spoken on the dimensions of the S4. I'm just recalling what I personally experienced.

No apologies needed, but the S4 is definitely thinner and lighter than the HTC One, it is confirmed. Not only that but they are pretty much the same length or maybe the HTC One is a little taller. The S4 is wider though.
I use my GNex10 for business a lot. I'm in Inusrance and it's such a convenient form factor to carry around. Even compared to my Lenovo x220. The instant "powerup" of android and the long battery life are so nice. I use it to carry reference material (pdfs), do quick google searches, and even do online applications/sales. Saving me from tons of paperwork every night.
I have a "M edge" bluetooth keyboard case that's not bad, but it's flimsy and difficult to use if not on a flat surface. I was dreaming, like many, of google releasing the official keyboard dock, but as we know that never happened. Are there any good keyboard covers/cases out there? I want something sturdy that will turn my Nexus into a transformer minus the IO problems...

That case looks nice but is it reliable? The screen on the nexus 10 is all wrong unless it was an unlocked one with a custom ROM. It had the touchwiz theme and the tablet Ui, but that's what I was looking for so if I find one on amazon like it I'll buy it and tell u how it is depending on the price

OK, so it turned up annd I'm typing this reply on it now! Contruction seems pretty good, it is made from a mixture of aluminium and plastic and feels robust.
Typing on it isn't ideal... the keys are somewhat smaller than a full size keyboard. It's not too bad though. I reckon once i've got a little more used to it I should be able to type pretty quickly on it. It's already MUCH quicker than using the onscreen keyboard!
There doesn't seem to be any lag when typing. The gap the tablet slots into is well made. The tablet feels securely docked, I think the may be a magnet holding it in place as I can actually pick the tablet up when docked and it brings the keyboard with it!
I like the way it clips on to the front of the N10, doubling as a protective cover when travelling. It also makes a great stand for your tablet.
Overall, colour me impressed! Like some of you guys I was considering the latest Transformer but I think this keyboard is enough to put me off. For 20 pounds I'd definitely reccomend it.
Downsides: It's a US keyboard, so no pound key. It's not super light: It probably weighs a couple of hundred grams alone. I doesn't have a touchpad mouse, though to be fair given its size I don't think it would be possible to fit one it.

Does this keyboard have android keys? I see what looks like a back button but does it have home, menu etc? Thx.
Does it really hold the device steady enough? The reviews for this keyboard on Amazon are terrible. Apparently it is prone to screwing up the bezel and dropping the N10.
