I love my note 1 - yes it may be big, but the extra screen space sure is nice. Just wish I had the cash to upgrade to a note 2 when it comes out...

Like most folks (I guess) I kind of laughed at the Note when it came out. Mainly around the idea of someone holding something that large to their head to make a phone call. Then I got talking to someone who'd got one, and he pointed out that most people these days use Bluetooth handsfree kits anyway, so there's little need to - as he put it - "go plastering a phone to your face".

He also pointed out that the large battery means that you can easily leave a BT headset connected all day, plus the large(r) screen is great for the Kindle app. His opinion was that Samsung got it exactly right with the size - large enough to be great as a satnav etc, but still small enough that it didn't look stupid on a windscreen mount plus it fits in a large pocket nicely.

If he's typical then I can see why Samsung sold so many.
