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

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

It's obvious that the S Pen is far more than a novelty and provides some pretty powerful touch technology. However, I would recommend that anybody who is considering buying the Note first give it a thorough road test in the AT&T store, especially the ...
Built-in stylus is a nice option, Huge 5.3-inch AMOLED screen, Decent battery life, LTE network is fast
Awkward to make calls on, Difficult to use with one hand, Writing and drawing isn't the best on a touchscreen, Strange screen size causes some app issues, Bloatware apps are annoying, Camera is slow
Samsung hasn't made a huge mistake with the Galaxy Note, but for a majority of people, it's a bit too large to be a good phone. ...

The Samsung Galaxy Note is in a class of its own, and while many in the industry - myself included - consider the Note to be a niche device, AT&T disagrees and has committed to giving it full marketing support. Size aside, the Galaxy Note packs an impress...

Abstract: When Samsung announced the Galaxy Note back in September , we all wondered when the U.S. would get this bad boy. It may have taken longer than we wanted, but hey, better late than never right? You will have your chance to buy one in either carbon blue or ...
Abstract: The Galaxy Note is no stranger to SlashGear: we reviewed the international version back in November 2011, finding it a curious – and in certain ways compelling – anomaly on the mobile landscape. Since then we’ve had plenty of experience with the oversi...
Review: Samsung Galaxy Note for AT&T Form Basics Extras Video Wrap-up Comments 6 The Samsung Galaxy Note for AT&T is somewhat hard to wrap your head (and your hand!) around. In the end, I have to say it is a prime example of the "bigger isn't always b...
