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

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
The Samsung Galaxy Note is a very likable device with portability, a great screen and responsiveness on its side. The issue, of course – other than with its possibly high price tag – is whether there really is a market for something that straddles the ...

Extremely large display, Running ICS out of the box
Late arrival, Somewhat pricey
Let’s be real here folks, the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note is a wonderful device on so many levels, but taking into account its late arrival onto the scene, it no longer has the same appeal and allure when it first arrived. Unless you desperately love...
