Love this phone
I love this phone, it's size I got used to after one week. Don't be fooled though this is a BIG PHONE. But again it takes about a week and you will be used to it too. The stylus pen is a nice change if you don't want to use the keypad to text or email. The camera is awesome, it is better than some people's digital's. And the screen size is awesome for watching videos. If I had one complaint is that the Note does not have a push to talk button, it has a push to talk app but you have to have the app open to do push to talk. Sort of defeats the whole push to talk purpose. Other than that I love this phone. It's my understanding the Note 2 took care of the push to talk button problem so when I get an upgrade I will be getting the Note II.

The Jitterbug of Smartphones
My previous phone was the Samsung Infuse which I loved. I am just getting older and my eyes aren't as good as they used to be! The NOTE is perfect for this problem. Is it big? YES. I like that, others may not. The keyboard has an option for one handed use for those that multi task with their phones. I don't keep it in my pocket, so I don't have a problem with the size in that area. I love the display, the camera and the speed. The Internet browsing is solid. But, other than Android Beam, it is not that big of a leap technically from other Samsung phones less than 2 years old. The one flaw for me, the battery life. But what can I expect? Expecting this to conserve battery life is like expecting a V-8 vehicle to get 50 miles to the gallon. I get a day out of my battery doing texting, calls, facebook, browsing and just messing around. And, the battery is better than my Infuse. I had to keep a spare battery for my Infuse. Overall, I am glad I bought the Note.
