How popular is the Note

[Carlesious]

I know that Samsung has shipped at least a million Notes, but im curious as to how it's sales numbers compare to other popular smartphones.

All the cool kids have one!

But seriously, I don't know the comparison numbers, but after having my note for almost a week, I can't imagine using anything else. I love everything about it so far.

 

[Carlesious]

I agree. Only I'm disappointed about so far, is the lack of nfc.

nfc kit for pretty much any android phone through this app/service.
Get Moneto | Moneto

although it uses a seperate account for the funds, and there a lot of options to reload...but theres a fee to use $4.95 a month. Still good tho

Samsung said that they sold over a million Notes in 3 months.

The Galaxy S II line sells 5 million a quarter with models for ATT, Sprint, another ATT, TM, Verizon, Korea, and at least 6 others.

The Note is a huge hit. Watch as Samsung finally rolls it out to other carriers.

That is what I am waiting for. I refuse to change AT&T.

Over 2 million sold.

Just curious...how many of you that own the Note hold it up to your ear when making/taking calls? Do most of you use bluetooth and/or speakerphone? I actually really like the Note, I am a fan of Samsung devices overall, and have an upgrade in a few months, and just am not sure if the size is a bit too big to use as an actual phone. The sales clerk at a Best Buy let me try one and see how it fits in my pocket, and although I am a small dude, it still did not feel that big in my pocket. I thought for sure it would feel ridiculously big, and that would be a deal-breaker, but not the case.

I dont often use my phone to make calls, I text way more than call. The few calls I have made, I put the phone up to my head and it doesn't feel awkward. I have a bluetooth, but I don't talk enough to actually use it.

That's the same for me basically...my actual phone calls are minimal, maybe once or twice a day. I'm really warming up to this device. I may have to think seriously about the Note, or whatever Verizon's version would be called if they get it.

Like many people these days, I don't talk on my phone much. But I had a rare 30 minute phone conversation a couple of nights ago and held the phone up to my head for the entire time with a couple of hand switches and it was no problem. If I happen to be out walking and listening to music on my phone, I'll use the wired headset if a call comes through. But otherwise, I just hold it like a traditional phone.

I have had no problem holding the phone to my head to make or receive calls. The funny thing about this phone that once you use it everyday the size of the phone drifts from your awareness.

I mean, I look at this screen and while it's larger than any other phone I've used, it doesn't appear excessive. It seems quickly blends into the normal phone usage like any other device.

Many people who have only used the phone for a short period of time (often with a preconcieved negative opinion), are hard on the Note's size. In fact, even most At&t and Best Buy reps spend waaaaaaay too much time feeling like they have to apologize for its size. The truth is; the size of the phone is what makes it amazing to me, and worth the price I paid.

Carrying an Epic Touch GS2 and Tab 7.0 Plus are no longer necessary. When I leave the house I leave with one device that is capable of performing every task those two devices were doing.

to me the whole thing of the note being to big gets blown out proportion,sure it's bigger then the other phones out there and when you first see it yes it seems huge, but I'm 5'3" 130lbs and I have absolutely no problems with the size,yes I had to adjust slightly how I use it but I use it just like I have all my other phones and after just over a week of having the note it's already starting to feel small.I'm sure the notes not for everyone but I think for most if you give it a day or so you would realize it's fine.

I've carried a Streak 5 for a year and a half so size wasn't an issue. Never use Bluetooth.

Honestly, the first few times it felt weird, particularly coming from iPhone4, but you soon get over the size an I don't know if it's the LTE or what, but calls are much clearer with the Note then previous owned 4. I'm quite pleased with the Note.

After using this phone for one week, i have no desire to use ANYTHING smaller. It fits the hand, has awesome purchase in the hand, and is easy to hold to the ear. The phone is the bomb!
