I went to Best Buy yesterday to see the Note. They had a non-working display unit, and I thought it fit well in my hand, it fit in my pocket as well, but awkward. I'm an active person, and have broken phone screens before, while in my pocket. Then I did the "up to the head test" I had to look around first to see if anybody was looking, it felt more awkward than the pocket test, and I'm not a walk around with a Bluetooth guy. I wanted to like it, so bad, but the pocket test and up to head test left me thinking twice. I will go back and have a second look, with a working unit, and make sure my wife is not there with her negative comments "What the..... that thing is huge!" "THAT's what you WANT!"..... The working display unit will hopefully allow me a more definitive decision. If I was a business man I would have pulled the trigger on the Note, but as a personal phone I could not find a reason for carrying it around...yet!
