The phone is massive. I enjoy my 4.52 inch screen on my e4gt. As a matter of fact I would not want to go much bigger, maybe 4.75 or so maxxxx. the galaxy note is really cool but still a little to big. ATT has all the best smartphones. The skyrocket is sick, it looks better than my e4gt and has dual core 1.5 processor. I guess sprint is the bargain cell provider. They have some nice stuff but from what I see ATT has sprint outclassed. All that being said, I am loving my epic 4g touch. This thing can handle anything I throw at it. if the note is to big, imagine what that 4:3 ratio LG monstrosity looks like..... No thanks.

I agree. My ssg2 e4gt has plenty of screen but I thought I might want the note. I am not so sure now, it is really wide. I felt a little silly holding it up to my face for a call.

To me the note is the type of product that I would categorize as one of those "because we can". Nothing practical that will have a lasting market presence.

Its a niche phone. Come June no one will be talking about except the ones that own it. Not to put it down but to me its the Droid 3, don't hear much about it.

I think phones like the Note will be a trend. I see devices getting bigger with the added functionality of the pen to write on the screen. I haven't held it in my hands yet, but I bet it is gorgeous.

The Note has spoiled me. I tried going back to my Nexus and the screen is too small lol.

I played with the note at CES. It was especially great for drawing. But it seems too big for a phone.
I had to replace my Evo 4G this week and chose the samsung Epic 4G Touch. E4GT D710.
This is, to my mind, the better size. I love a big screen, but I also love discreet. I draw on it, as I did on the evo. It is not a book, it is a phone.

I remember when the Evo was released and there were mixed feelings about the screen size -- some were thrilled about the size and others were on the fence. The same issue came up with the Epic4GTouch and now the Note. I wasn't sure about the screen sizes of all devices prior to their release. But since owning the e4gt since December the screen size has since grown on me and I feel the same could happen if I purchased the Note.

It will be interesting to see what the future norm will be in terms of screen sizes.
