Pretty soon I'll have the chance to upgrade, and I've been taking a long look at the Galaxy Note models, of which this is the one I'd most likely buy. I've been wanting something like this for a long time, partly for the large screen but mainly for the convenience of dispensing with paper lists forever, or at least for the life of the phone. The other specs, generally, look pretty good too--camera, storage, processors, and so on.
But it's huge. How do men, who tend to keep things in their pockets, carry these around, or is it women who are buying most of them? Even my ordinary Galaxy Epic 4GT looks like a plank if I resign myself to wearing in my hip carrier, but as that's anything but stylish I often just carry it in a back pocket. If I wear the Note 3 s on my hip, assuming there's a clip or holster that does this, it will look the size of a standard bedroom door. Unless you like to wear cargo pants or painter jeans festooned with oversize snap pockets, how can you do it? The phone looks so large that I don't see how you can carry it in the pockets of ordinary jeans or khakis. Of course, I do often use a backpack, but that's becoming less and less viable. We have hot summers here, and walking around with a big backpack is like wearing an extra outer garment. Moreover, I'm liking less and less the idea of being recognized all over as "the guy with the backpack".
So how do guys live with this phone, or do they?
