I freaking love it. Added a 64GB sd and with 85 apps installed I still got 9GB free.
The Samsung rep was in store a couple weeks ago talking up this phone (preparing our Bell release) and told us its geared to senior citizens and the sight impaired.
I wish I was joking, while I can absolutely see that as being the case she flat out told is its for the senior market mostly...and pretty much every customer who's looked at it dismissed it as too big.

That is dumb.
It is really for people who want a tablet but they don't want to carry a 7" device. Someone that fits in a bag maybe even Man jeans. And they want to do the basics.
People who use it for work. Heavy on Calendar scheduling, taking appointments, notes, etc etc. it's a good compromise between a tablet that is still usable as a phone.

I've read that it makes a better tablet than phone. Thoughts?

It has decent specs The screen is actually better than I thought it would be, crisp and clear, no problem reading small text and white is much more white than on my S4. The phone is fast and fluid throughout the whole UI and typing on this size keyboard is a joy.

I'm having some bad luck with my Mega. First the screen was badly bulging from the top and the whole LCD/glass assembly was changed under warranty.

The new one was fine for a week but now the top right corner is slighly bulging. This time it's really not an eye sore, but the glass is making a noise agains the adhesive when pushed from the corner. I was carefully inspecting the glass edge, and it seems that the top center is slightly raised when compared to other parts. Not much this time, but enough to see it when looking at a certain angle. I guess that this creates a stress on the top corners, which causes the adhesive to give up on the top corners.
There is no way anyone can tell if its too big by looking at a video.
The 5.8" and 6.3" have been out in Thailand for a while and I can say from trying the MEGA 6.3" that this phone is entirely way too big. It has no S-Pen so really, it makes no sense to carry it around. It will not fit anywhere, it's slow, and really nothing special. Like an oversized Galaxy Grand basically.
It is OK for girls to put in a purse, but anything over 5.5" is just way too much.
Anyone interested just go try it for yourself. The size will put you off. I thought that I was going to want this phone until I went and saw it in person.
