Excellent device but waiting on all the features to be unlocked

I love this device as I cannot simply call it a phone. That would be belittling it. It is fast, responsive, full of features(I will speak on that in a moment), battery life is overwhelmingly fantastic and a dream to use and learn to use. I feel it is far beyond anything else in the market at the moment. The screen is beautiful, you can do anything you wish with it(at least almost, but when all features are rolled out, you will be able to do the work of a portable pc), and the battery life is second to none.
Features: I have to say I am a little disappointed in the multi window not coming on the device, along with the screen recording, etc that is advertised. I have read that the update for multi window is coming very, very soon, but nothing on the screen recording and the notification toggles at the top of the screen. So that is why for features, I gave it a 4 instead of a 5, as I feel it should have come with those enabled or within a week or two rolled out. How much the carriers has to play into this, I can only imagine. I can wait on this, however, the main con I have is that updates are far too slow coming in general unfortunately.
I had the original note and upgraded to this model as I was "that impressed" with the original, and this even moreso! My wife still has the original and loves it tremendously.
The accessories that I like are expensive but imho, well worth the cost(multimedia dock, battery charger with extra battery and the flip case that I already have).
I am in IT and use the features of the unit every day, thus the necessity for multitasking to the extreme.
It is a great product to say the least and I highly recommend if you are even considering it, as you will definitely not regret the purchase. There really is nothing that can be compared to it.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, feature rich, radically fast, true multitasking ability, battery life of over 18 hours easily, fantastic abilities, evolution of s-pen, future proof(until samsung outdoes itself), heads and tails over anything else, cured all bad tendencies of first note
Cons: did not come out of the box with multi window, too slow with updates
I would recommend this to a friend!

My wife convinced me to switch from our iphones to the Samsung Galaxy series. She got the S3 and I got the Note 2. We love them! I don't think that the iPhone 5 comes even close to the features and functionality of the Note 2.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Device of the year...

The Galaxy Note 2 has converted me to a loyal Samsung customer after a decade of loyalty of to a company that no longer makes any "sense" to me.
I scoffed at those that dove in to the original Note, however, after seeing firsthand the features the Note 2 was loaded down with & experiencing the amazing performance, I became a believer
There are dozens of useful features on the Note 2 & a dozen more you won't use regularly, but when you do use them, you are guaranteed to exclaim loudly, "WOW!". The multi-view feature is really neat, but the Multi-window feature is super useful & saves me time when I am sending emails that require me to view reference materials or documents. No more guessing, no more switching back & forth between screens & no more waiting until I can get to a laptop or PC.
The S-Pen is an awesome retro-like tool that I did not miss from my old smartphone days, until I saw it in action & realized that it was the stylus reborn & re-imagined with great functionality. Hand written notes that are pressure sensitive, precise clippings from documents & web pages or articles are all just a gesture away from being shared via a plethora of communication mediums.
The only down side to this device is that the well documented Android OS/System bug was not patched, but even with the battery draining bug, you still get over 24 hours of use. I can't wait until this issue is patched, trhis thing will be a buttery smooth experience that lasts for 3 days minimum for me.
There is no better device on the market & while it won't replace a tablet or laptop for me, it definitely is the beast option to get you buy when you are between those devices.
I am a mechanical engineering professional & this is a powerful tool that makes me more productive & makes me shine in front of clients.
Did I also mention the other half of this thing? Multimedia! Samsung does things right in regards to supporting numerous formats & codecs. I can watch near Bluray quality movies on this thing, complete with AC3 surround sound thanks to the DIVX certification. So many music formats are supported, so many video containers & formats are supported & you can watch them via AllShare Cast on your laptop, tablet or even your compatible TV. You have an older TV? No problem, the AllShare Hub will turn your old TV into media sharing monster.
You owe it to yourself to give this thing a whirl! Like me, you might just find yourself impressed & owning what you swore you'd never buy!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, large screen, ultra-customizeable, multi-window, advanced led display, feature packed, super thin, powerful hardware, fast & responsive
Cons: jelly bean battery bug, expensive, thin plastic back cover
I would recommend this to a friend!

From A Tech Moron

Posted by: TechMoron
I have always been slow to adopt new technology. I never had a pda. I waited until 'the cloud' came along and my email, contacts and calendar could follow me on my computers. In similar one-size-fits-all fashion, I bought my Note ll. Finally, I can write notes, make phone calls, text, e-mail, watch video on a decent-sized screen, listen to podcasts and music---all from the same device. Simple, even for a tech moron. Thanks!
Pros: all in one
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Device

I call it a device as it is definitely not "just" a phone, it is a full-fledged computing platform. This is a great platform for mobile computing. the screen is large enough to watch movies and work on spreadsheets as well as surf the web. The battery life is reasonable and it has tons of features. Samsung has thought out the product well, making it light weight but not flimsy. The layout of the buttons and ports make it usable without getting in the way. I actually enjoy this device more than any other cell phone/PDA/tablet/smartphone I have ever tried. I would recommend this to everyone.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight

Awesome Phone/Tablet
on August 4, 2013

I replaced my venerable IPhone 4 with the Samsung Galaxy Note and I never looked back. Admittedly, it took a little getting used to but I bought it primarily for the S-Pen, the larger screen real estate and multi-screen capability. Once I got over thinking it should be like my Iphone I really came to appreciate the quality, screen size, available apps and total overall functionality.
I added a 16 gig micro SD for more storage and easily moved all my music and videos from my IPhone and Ipad to my Galaxy Note II.
This is an awesome device. I can take notes at meetings, write - yes write emails, work on reports, take pictures, watch movies, and play my music. The sound streams to my hearing aids to it works almost totally hands free.
It's a good size for a person with big hands (I do) that has a tendency to reach for their phone before they boot up their laptop. (Me again.) Drawbacks? None that I've experienced.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, good size for a big person
I would recommend this to a friend!
