Love the galaxy S2. Dual core very fast and a nice big screen.

Sent from my galaxy S2 using tapatalk.

Its quite big for a phone, it really depends on how you use it. I was going to get one but couldn't pull the trigger because it wouldn't fit in my pocket. Look at the galaxy nexus if you find it to big.

Friend of mine has one, it's pretty big for a phone. But very similar in features to the S2, which is a great device.

I have the note, I love it, it's a beast. It's not as big as people make it out to be, and it's all screen, so it's great. People say you can't use it with one hand, but i've noticed no difference or inconvenience going from a iPhone 4S to this phone, and the iPhone's screen height is very close to the width of the note(so 1/2 - 1/3 the size). The obvious thing is that the battery will only last for 1 day if you use it ALL day like I did the first couple days i got it. But overall the the 2 weeks i've had this thing i love it. The stylus kind of wore off novelty in the first week, but still nice to have for Draw Something. One big thing i like is that it's big enough for my kids to play games (3years/2years) without accidentally hitting other buttons/ads like used to happen on the iphone all the time. Going from iOS to android took about 1 hour for me to wonder why i didn't do it sooner.

Also, it's expected to get ice cream sandwich this month, so it'll only get better.

Galaxy Note, Galaxy S II and Galaxy Nexus are all excellent phones.

I played around with one for a bit at the store, but the fact it wouldnt fit in a pocket was a no go for me.. Its fast, and yes big screen, in the end I went with the HTC Desire HD instead, I love it, still has a big 4" (?) screen and it does more then I need it to
