    This phone is great for just about anything, but it really stands out when watching videos or browsing the internet - it sure beats those smaller phones! It is also easier to type on the larger keyboard. Love this phone. I got an extended battery for it (9300) so it lasts 3-4 days on a single charge.

    The Galaxy Note 2 has been even better than I had hoped. The call quality is excellent, and with the quad-core processor there is virtually no lag with any application. The large screen makes it much easier on the eyes for web browsing or email, but without the phone being too large to handle.

    I bought the Galaxy Note II with the intention of replacing traditional pen and paper for note-taking, and the transition is going very well. I still reach for pen and paper when I need to jot down something simple like a phone number, but the habit is slowly going away. With the stock settings, simply removing the S Pen from the holder launches a pre-set (several styles are available for you to pick from) notepad for jotting down some quick info. As far as I know, this phone is the largest out there, but the size grows on you. Handwriting recognition takes a little getting used to, but it amazingly captures some of my most horrendous chicken scratches! Overall, this phone is amazing and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to condense their portable office space.

    BestBuy always gives us the best service. The people that work there remember us as customers which makes it like visiting friends. They were extremely helpful in helping us get the phone configured and taught us how to do some things to make it easier to use. The phone is awesome, the processor is super fast and we love the extra large screen!

    I have big fingers and I'm terrible with touchscreens, but there weren't any other phones with physical keyboards that I liked. The Note 2 makes it easy to type, and I use the stylus all the time to draw, play games and everything else. I love it.

    Great phone for everything you need it to do. Processor is super fast, battery last forever. Way better than the Iphone. She bought the Iphone at the same time and it doesn't come close to what the Note II can do.

    I've been looking for a tablet for a while and several were lined up for my decision to purchase. I was also considering another phone option - I have an evo 4g, evo 4g LTE, and a Galaxy S2. My tablet choices were leaning on the smaller size (7inch) and I wanted to find that balance of my phones/tablet/pc etc... I found this phone - NOTE2 - to be a great mix. Although a bit small of a tablet and more phone like, the features are excellent. Depending on what you intend to use it for .. this could be just a large phone for you or an amazing suped up mini-tablet. The graphics are wonderful, the responsiveness is immediate, the stylus (SPEN) apps and pretty cool let alone the functionality of the integration of the stylus and phone. The handwriting recognition is phenomenal. I use this all the time when taking notes! I did a few extra software things to my phone and now it's faster (not that you needed it). I think it definitely has the feel of a small tablet. I highly recommend a case because this phone is SLICK. Seriously, that thing will slide right out of your hand!!! LOVE THIS PHONE/TABLET!!!!

    I have had this phone for about a month and I love it. I was very impress with the battery life. No more charging my phone in the middle of the day. I was also enthused about the quality of pictures the phone takes. Overall great phone!

    This is by far one of the best phones there is out there, I also had a choice to get the galaxy s4 but I still chose this one because its bigger and is just as fast as the S4. if you know how to use this phone, it can be a great phone.

    Same issues as my Samsung S4 so not sure there is any improvement except for a bigger screen. I would recommend this phone but not at the full price of $800 and I would be very careful when choosing a carrier. IF there are any all around good ones out there, I haven't found them.

    This is my first smart phone, so I still have a lot to learn about its many uses. I love that it's big enough that I can see it without glasses, and type on it without hitting multiple keys. I think the camera is great, too.

    Best phone I've owned to date

    I was hesitant at first due to the size of the phone. However, after using it for a while, it's actually quite nice. It's a little bit on the large side to fit in your pocket. Without a protective case, it is fine. Adding a protective case bulks it up to the point of difficulty getting in and out of said pocket. The battery life is FANTASTIC. Signal strength isn't showing as high as my older EVO and I don't get reception as well in some places as I did with the EVO. So, the 4/5 call quality is due to what appears to be slightly poorer reception than my old phone. NFC functionality has been fun to play with. Buying things using NFC+Google Wallet is slowly becoming more available and very convenient.
