DNA for me.
I've owned Motorla phones and Samsungs. It's time to try out HTC. The merits for the Note are good, but do I really see myself using it a lot? Not for me personally. I had a Samsung Delve and it had a stylus. Granted, that was a horrible phone from years past, but it highlights why I personally don't need one. It's easy to lose if your not careful.
The bigger battery is a mild plus, but I've ordered a Mophie juice pack. The SD card would be a plus, but since I've started combing through my music collection and have deleted literally hundreds of songs, I don't need to store as much on my device.
Again, the Note is great for many, but I'm gonna roll with HTC.
