Does anyone have one that regrets that purchase?

You should post this question in the Note forum for quicker and probably more detailed responses: http://forums.androidcentral.com/t-galaxy-note/

Maybe it is a little big for female users. I will not consider it!

[phonejunky]

I personally believe it is. It's just not a practical device to carry around from day to day in my eyes. Fits more in the tablet realm.

I would even consider a larger screen if one was available, alas I just have to wait for it to hit Sprint! lol

The wait may not be too long if there is any meaning behind the above page.

I knew 4.3" was the sweet spot when i went from an HTC desire HD to a Nexus S. I miss that thing !

[taylorz_412]

I say no

[S-Doo-1965]

I find mine to be the perfect size.

Personally, it is not big enough.

Back before I had a smartphone, I carried a phone, PDA, mp3 player, and sometimes a small camera. I was like Batman with my utility belt. Once I got my first BlackBerry, I was able to leave most of those behind (although my 8830 didn't have a camera). I can even do more now with my SGS than any of the BBs I had since then.

But now, I carry my SGS, and my 10.1" gTablet. The tablet gets used a lot more than my phone these days. It might be a little too big, but I would really prefer being back to carrying just one device. My wife has a 7" tablet. If it had telephony capabilities, that would be perfect for me. I always use a headset when I'm on the phone (I'm either taking notes, using the calendar, or looking something up), so I wouldn't feel like someone from the '70s with a huge boombox on my shoulder.

I already do Skype and GrooveIP on my tablet for calls while on wifi. Having full phone functionality on a tablet would be great. I'd be happy to leave the 4" screen behind.

I say get a carbon fiber pocket protector to spread the cotton. Nothing like keeping it real.

Yeah, it's too big. It's not a phone, it's what would happen if a tablet and a brick were genetically spliced together. Kudos to Samsung for going in a different direction, but I don't see this as being anything more than a weird niche.

I agree, way too big to use as an everyday phone. I look at it as a small tablet that can make/receive phone calls. My 4.3 inch Inspire is about the max that I'm comfortable with. (Also love that it's just about the same overall size as a 3.5"-screened iPhone)

[PorfyMartinez]

Way too big to lug around all day.

[garrim85]

Just played with one the other day, the size is totally fine to me. Yeah, it's huge for what we are used to when it comes to phones, but is marketed to be a phone and tablet, which it is. It's actually funny, over the years everyone has wanted to make their devices as thin as possible, and now we have all these really thin phones but the screens are getting bigger and bigger.

[someone3974]

Recently I found I can accept it for it is quite convenient for watching movies.

[someone3974]

Yeah, I think you guys can also have a try!

[davidnzs]

I guess it's not for everyone. Some people are very happy carrying their Note around all day. I prefer smaller phones, though. Galaxy Nexus size is perfect for me!

[Moonbase0ne]

Took a little getting used to but after about a week of using it, no, it's not too big at all.

I am thinking my next phone will most definitely be around the same size. At least, screen size. The S pen comes in handy too. I use it regularly as a phone with and without a Bluetooth headset. And the google maps Navigation looks and works great on it. It fits in my pocket no problem.

But it's definitely not for everyone. I recommend checking it out in person at a store first, and even then, after you by it, it takes getting used too.

Definitely not for everyone.

There's your trouble. I carry mine in my pocket.

But seriously, I don't understand all these threads trying to discount the Note for its size. The 'Is it to big' question has been asked to death. HP got the opposite question about the Veer being to small. Its choice folks. One size does not fit all.

I don't see how its a problem that I feel it isn't practical. I mean it works for a niche market of people, I'm just not in it.

The phone is crazy big. But I would probably get used to it if I had one. It does look more like a mini tablet.

[p06781]

Love the size of the note. Will never go back.

The size of the Galaxy Note is PERFECT... for someone.

That's the whole beauty of Android... multiple vendors all competing. They can't all make the same tired design. They must think outside the box to differentiate their products. This leads to devices like the Note.

Would Apple make something like this? Maybe not. But an Android vendor definitely would... they did! And what a wonderful thing. That percentage of the population who wanted larger than 4 and smaller than 7... who 5 inches is perfect for... gets exactly what they want/need.

Android and competition is awesome! There is a phone EXACTLY right for just about everyone.

If I could only have one device I'd get a Note. But I like having a 7" tablet and a 4.3" phone. The nice thing is there is a choice for everyone.
