Samsung Galaxy Note II (GSM)
Phone Scoop Review
Oct 24, 2012 by Eric M. Zeman
The Galaxy Note II proves that sometimes the sequel surpasses the original. The Note II, with its larger screen, faster processor, and much-improved camera, is a real contender for king of the phablets. read review ›

SGH I-317
I recently, purchased this phone after my SGS III was lost during Sandy, I had private insurance and took the check and placed it towards the Note II.
Very impressed, while large, I found it quite easy to carry in my scrub pockets while at work, as well as jacket/coat while out.
Screen is bright, typical Galaxy S saturation, which one can hate or love, I'm the former. Phone is fast in use, never bothered running tests, its fast and with several open applications running or in the background. Battery life is far better then expected. Camera is good, haven't tried any videos, similar to my older sgs3. Not a big camera phone photography and it does what I need. Calls are loud and crisp and excellent hspa+ speeds. I will check out the LTE this coming week when I'm in Philadelphia.
OK, slightly but not overtly clumsy in the hands, do to size but really that is the only slight negative. Excellent product. I also wish iBolt made a car mount for it as they do with the SGS3.

Amazing Phablet ! ? !
As previous review, unit is almost unbelievable. Everything he mentioned is absolutely correct. The SPen needs additional praise alone. Its incredible the features & ability the SPen has & how much it interacts with multiple apps & enhances phablet's ability's. A little pricey, but no regrets. Takes a couple days to get use to it & I'm sure several weeks/months to learn the full use of it.

Dislike
I'm tired of the iPhone 5 and it's iOS.. Monday I purchased this monstrosity.. I liked the size of the screen, but hated how low the screen brightness is. I loved the Operating system, JB was very fluid.. Picture quality was less then adequate.. I was disappointed that I couldn't get desktop websites like I could with my iphone on skyfire. Consistently the note 2 pulled mobile sites instead of desk view.. Talking on the phone was a hassle, it was like holding a plate to your head..I returned it yesterday, and I'm waiting for the new galaxy S4..
