I have had Blackberries, Motorola, HTC, iphone and now Samsung.
To be honest, first you have to know that this and the other devices really have nothing in common. This thing is wonderful for a myriad of users and uses. It is more of a mini computer than a phone.
I, love my device (especially since I have all my features now), but even before that, I loved the 2. I, for one have had fanatic battery life ranging from 17 to 25 hours. There had never been a reception issue with either this or my original note. I have nothing but positive things to say about it and do recommend it.
The only thing is to go play with one and play with it for a bit. If you get it just be aware of the carriers having their fingers all over some of the features. That is the only negative thing about this device, but then, that really is any carrier device.
