Whatever you think about the form factor and size of the screen
There’s no doubting the fact it’s a beauty. At 5.3 inches
It feels huge compared to other smartphones
And the 1280 x 800 pixel resolution puts most netbooks to shame. Images really are razor sharp
And the Super AMOLED technology results in glorious colour reproduction. If you want a device for browsing media on
There’s no better

The size of the phone
The screen does not have as high a DPI as some competitor devices
And some screen protectors can interfere with the S-Pen's responsiveness
Design
When you first look at the Galaxy Note you might be put off by the size of it - due
Just a little too big for a day to day device
TouchWiz UI definitely a let down
Internet Browsing feels subpar
Too expensive
Some Samsung software didn't work
Plastic design feels cheap
Loads of bloatware aboard
Short battery life
Looks pretty silly when you're making a call
Too big for a smartphone
Not a whole lot of "S Pen" compatible software
Not that different to the S2
Expensive
Limit to seven homescreens
Size may be too much for some
Camera lens easily scratched
Might be too big for some
ICS update depends on Samsung
Expensive SIM-free price
Interface is a little sluggish at times
Sound and battery life is so-so
Not too pocket-friendly
Lack of physical camera button
Back button sensitivity
Flimsy back panel
There’s only one real downside to the Samsung Galaxy Note – and that’s the feature that makes it unique
The screen. It’s simply too large for many people
Proving considerably larger than the majority of smartphones.
Both the size and price will be too big for some
You either love the big form factor or you hate it
You're going to look silly making phone calls
Stylus can be tricky to use
Holding it in one hand is a strain
Too large to be an everyday phone
Too small to function well as a tablet
S Pen functionality could be more imaginatively implemented
Too large for some
Calibration issues with S Pen
Difficult to use one-handed
Gingerbread (but ICS update soon)
It's a big ol' handful
Pricy
Just big enough to look a bit daft when pressed to your ear

So, is it practical to upgrade from the original Galaxy Note? For me, it absolutely is, though your mileage may vary. I still can't get enough of how unbelievably smooth operating this handset is. Like I said a while ago, that in itself makes it a worthy ...

The AniDroid V.04 rom is very promising and given that the rom is based on a pretty buggy CM9 release, it was bound to hold back more of the Linaro kernel's potential. We can easily see this as a rom that can replace the stock ICS with TouchWiz for the No...

Big, contrasty 5.3inch HD Super AMOLED screen; Very slim and feels solid; Playback of HD videos is smooth and image quality is topnotch; 5Ghz WiFi N provides lagfree HD content streaming; Ultra fast 1.4Ghz dualcore processor
Touchscreen keyboard is hard to use in landscape mode (keys near center is hard to reach); Power button is too soft resulting in too many accidental presses; A bit too big to put inside your front pocket
Beautiful HD Super AMOLED display, Excellent battery life, Solid performance, Good implementation of S Pen
Size may be too overwhelming for some

Abstract: I'll be honest. I wasn't crazy about the Galaxy Note when I first saw it a few weeks ago at Samsung's big show-and-tell in Jakarta. The 5.3-inch screen makes it bigger than most phones (the Galaxy S II has a 4.3-inch screen), yet is smaller than the most ...
