I have had my g-note 2 for about a month now(AT&T). This phone is an amazing device!! All the above features that were mentioned is what makes android shine. Samsung did a beautiful job this year their Touchwiz skin. For the first time, I have had no desire to jump to different rom(cyanogenmod). I had the S3 earlier this year, which packs most of these features. As most said, the battery life stands out the most. I have yet to get too deep into the S-Pen, but its great to have it. For me, this device is awesome because the development is going to be amazing. Finally, Samsung is using the same processor all over the globe, so I can flash any rom(or tweaks) with a kernel swap. Waiting on AT&T to trickle out features is the worst. We still don't officially have multi-view. I haven't had time to flash anything, atm i am running stock rooted. I'm a tech guy so android has always been the platform choice for me. I never owned an ios device and almost went with the iphone 5, but they fucked up on the design imo. I would have probably gotten bored with the interface quickly anyway. The galaxy S3 is arguably the best android phone this year( maybe even phone of the year) and the note 2 builds on that in a big way. Anyone on the fence needs to go check it out. The screen size is

at first, but trust me, the more you use it- the more normal it feels. I went to a work function the other day and everyone was like
"What is that? "Is that the Note 2". They were lined up to see it and hold it. I personally don't
care about attention, but finally a phone is getting as much(or more) shine than an iphone. I
still get, "it(android) seems complicated", but that wall is breaking down quickly. Competition
is a good thing people!!
