It's only been 3 days, but I am literally in love with this phone. The speaker is very loud, the display is stunning (whites aren't as white as my old HTC EVO, but the blacks are very black) and the size is so convenient for everything. Even my husband used the phone. He flat lines when it comes to phones and has a pay-as-you-go phone that he rarely looks at. He picked up the Note 2 and was actually using it. Found his way around the UI easily and played with the phone for almost an hour. Purring as he went!
There are little things in TouchWiz and Jelly Bean that make this phone so usable. An example, on Sunday morning we asked Google Now, "When are the SF Giants playing today?" and got our answer. Then at 5pm, just before the game started we were still working outside on hubby's truck. Knowing we would miss the start of the game, I looked at the phone to see if I could broadcast the game live. The phone beat me to it. In the dropdown menu, I had a notification, "TuneIn Radio has the game on ESPN, did I want to stream it?" Well, yes I do!
