Another thing that turned me away is that damn home button, I hate it, but that's just me haha
I was also torn in this situation. Coming from a gnex both the note 2 and DNA are huge step ups in terms of hardware. For me it came down to size, the note 2 is just a little big for my liking. I didn't really think too much of it until I seen a guy using one to make a phone call on campus, he just looked ridiculous (in my opinion). So I was turn off to the note at that point. Not only that but before my gnex I had a fascinate, so I'm ready to just get away from Sammy for a bit. If the DNA wouldn't have happened I'd probably just sit on my gnex for another half year or so. But this phone is just too good to pass up.
It's not that long ago when people thought 4.5" phones were unwieldy and huge too. But here we are now thinking even the 4" on the iPhone 5 is on the small side of things and 4.5-5" screens are the norm now.
It just takes some adjustment. Of course, if you have really small hands, or wear skinny jeans or something along those lines then I could see it being an issue.. but otherwise, I don't think the Note 2 is big enough to be unwieldy, personally.
It's an issue for anyone who wears non-baggy jeans, they don't have to be skinny jeans.
I don't wear baggy jeans at all. Slim Straights even. It fits just fine.
I don't get how someone looks ridiculous with a phone to their ear. The Note 2 is no different in size than using a wireless phone at your house. People don't walk around wondering if they look ridiculous with a land line on their ear. I just don't get this argument at all.
Perhaps you haven't had a DNA in your pocket, it's 10 mm narrower and 10mm shorter than the note 2, I'll give u the note2 is .3mm thinnerNote II is way easier in and out due to how slim it is. I don't ever carry my phone in any other manner, and this is the first phone I havent noticed in my pocket.
made possible by my note II
I was debating between the Note 2 and DNA, I'm not a Moto fan so the Maxx was never a thought for me.
I have all sorts, dress slacks at work to levis, and silver, and lucky. Even the shallowest pocket is just deep enough to allow me to sit without an issue. I do not wear skinny jeans so I can't speak to how that works. I can honestly say that I was just as on the fence, but can't seem to find anything I don't like about it now.

Frankly, I don't believe you. I've played with the Note II in the store. I'm normal sized guy, 6 feet tall, and that thing would not fit comfortably, if at all, in my pockets. I don't believe anyone who says the Note II fits comfortably in a pants pocket.
Yeah, I'm lying in an evil plot to embarrass your small pocketed pants. The cool thing with the note is if you don't want it, someone else will.

Good for you.
Just because it doesn't fit into YOUR pockets for some reason, does not mean that it won't fit for someone else. It fits mine with room to spare. And there are several YouTube videos that show the same.
I have no problem with people disagreeing with me; but your comment sounds like a child who is told that there's no Santa, but refuses to believe it.
