Best Phablet Yet

I don't think I will want to carry around a real tablet any more. This is lighter and just as jam packed with everything I could need. I highly recommend this for everyone that loves media on the go.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Lightweight

Packs a powerful punch!

You may not think that Samsung could deliver on top of perfection from the Note II, but they have done it yet again!
I recently activated my Note III and I couldn't be happier with the product. It packs all of the features of the S4 and includes many more that a geek would LOVE! The S Pen has been updated to fit your lifestyle, the camera is significantly improved over the Note II, and the battery life is no joke! I have successfully gotten at least 12 hours out of my battery life while using multiple account syncs, photos, Facebook, Twitter, BBM, GPS tracking, Step Counter, etc.
If you're on the fence about getting this phone, go get it! You will NOT be disappointed!
PS - The included SketchBook for Galaxy app is amazing!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, gorgeous, s pen, battery life
I would recommend this to a friend!

Never looking back
on October 22, 2013

Expertise:Expert
I'm a smart phone user from way back, the Treo 600 was my first smart phone. I've been on the Android platform since the first Evo, then went to the Vivid and, never thought I would say this, switched to a Samsung product and never looking back.
The Note 3 is the fastest phone I've used flying from app to app with no delay and I'm not a kind user in this. I like to switch from one to another constantly. I've done just a little multitasking and, so far, the phone handles it without a blip. I just did a Google Maps search in one window while playing a YouTube video and the search flew while the video played without a hickup.
The phone's massive list of features can be a bit overwhelming, I left the popup hints running for the first week to help me remember what the action items were and could do. The phone is well organized. One of my favorite features (admittedly this is probably an Android 4.3 feature) is the ability to search the settings menu. How often in the past have I laboriously clicked setting after setting to try and remember how to change something?
The S-pen is the way to go. I've actually moved Swype from my primary keyboard to secondary so that I can use the S-pen to enter all my data. Admittedly it struggles a bit working in a window in Dolphin browser but in Gmail I can simply write an email, and my handwriting is awful.
Any number of people complain about the size of the phone. I do occasionally shiver as I one-hand the phone and feel it unbalanced in my very average size hands. Still, I find I can pretty much one hand whatever I want but this is where S-voice and Google Now are your friends. Use the voice to control your phone. Buy a bluetooth earpiece (you should have one for driving anyway) and use it to control your phone.
My complaints are minor. No phone is perfect. S-voice cannot dial numbers without touching the screen to accept the number. I find K-lets to be a better choice for driving but wish I could have my cake and eat it too, there is no way to have both programs answering bluetooth hands free. I have no use for the Magazine app that appears with the swipe from bottom motion and there is no way to reassign the motion to Google Now or another more useful function. I continue to look for a dependable way to backup the S-notes and such. It shouldn't be this challenging.
The Samsung Note III is the best phone on the market and it will be a while before anyone including Samsung tops this.
Pros: Bright display, anything you can do it can do better.
Cons: too much plastic
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazing Phone with 1 Catch...
on October 19, 2013
Posted by: JFloyd25

Expertise:Expert
#1 - I LOVE this phone, it is the best, fastest and most capable phone I have ever owned (switched from an iPhone). I am thoroughly impressed with the processing power, expandable memory and crystal clear HD screen. The S-pen is absolutely awesome, and the handwriting recognition is excellent (and I have terrible penmanship).
The only reason this phone received a 4 star rating is for the massive amount of bloatware that came with Samsung and AT&T. I was super excited to utilize the 3GB of RAM with MY OWN apps, however, every time I open the task manager it shows 1.8GB being used, when NOTHING is running. When I force close all active apps to clear the RAM 35-45 apps are closed... A little disappointed with this, but it has not been a problem yet.

Finally, A Note to Fit My Hand
on October 19, 2013
Posted by: SacramentoFan

Expertise:Intermediate
I avoided the earlier Note models because they were simply too large for me to handle comfortably, but I minute I held this one I knew I could finally get the tablet-like features I was looking for in a phone. I love this phone, especially the stylus compatibility and the larger size display, not to mention the fantastic camera.
If I have one complaint about this phone it is that the documentation is miserable. The Device Help applet is of limited usefulness. Fortunately, the phone's interface is largely intuitive, but if you need to know how to make the multi-window feature work, get help from your carrier. I still haven't figured out how to get the back off the phone because I don't see an "indent in the cover"!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, hi def screen resolution, great camera
Cons: poor documentation
I would recommend this to a friend!
