I finally have my Note 2

**cwbcpa** · 01-27-2013, 03:56 PM

After much research and thought I finally pulled the trigger. I brought it home just a few hours ago and I have certainly not even scratched the surface of what this phone can do. I just want to say thank you to everyone on these boards. It has been so helpful to read everyone's experience and thoughts. Now I can really dig into some of the posts and know what was being talked about as I learn how to use this beast.

I do believe my wife will be following not too far behind. While she isn't sure about the size, I think she I is in love. It's just awesome to use. For everything!

Now I have to get it all set up so that I can get work done this week. Busy week ahead. Glad I have a great tool to help me get it all done!

Of all the phones I've been lucky enough to review, I wish I could take home the Note 2. It's such a great phone.

I bought mine on Friday and I love it. I switched over from my iPhone 4S and this is so much better than any phone Apple could come out with.

Here's to our new awesome phones!

I had the Galaxy S3 for about 4 months and switched back to my iphone 4 and then the iphone 5 for a few weeks. There is no comparison. It's not that the iphone is bad or anything like that. There is just no comparing the two phones. This is just a beast of a phone. I don't know how else to describe it.

Congrats to you.

So funny to read the stories about wives wanting one soon after. My wife got the white one right after me and my titanium. Everyone calls us matching twins. We got people talking last night at another dinner about our phones. They loved my photos compared to their iphone photos. Another win for our cameras.

I love the camera on the Note 2! Ive even found the macro mode to take good close ups!

You should try apps that magnify. They magnify and focus and you can then take a picture of that item or thing. Pretty sweet.

Isn't it wonderful? Don't you feel like you have all the power in the world in the palm of your hand?

It's a whole different experience. I have not had time to really even get into all of the S pen uses. I can't wait until I can spend some time figuring out how to do everything.

You'll enjoy the experience if a big screen is your goal. I really suggest the multi-window stuff. Just so nice to be able to browse the web and type out a message at the same time.

Congrats on your Note 2 !!!

as far as the s Pen goes the most useful thing for me has been the built in keyboard that you write instead of type.Im using it now. And use it to text most of the time.

**Jude526** · 01-28-2013, 09:52 PM

I am still learning it. I saw a friend today. She just got its baby brother on T-Mobile. She is in her 14 days and thinks it might be too much. I told her she will regret switching and to keep it. Told her I can show her things
