[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gramessh:
I have been using the Note for four months now and it is easily the best device I have used over the years. Here's what I think you should consider.

You shouldn't buy the note:

1. If you have really small hands, I mean REALLY small!

2. You hate using your phone with both hands (you need to most of the time)

3. If you hate the weight (but frankly, its light for it's size)

Why you should buy the note:

1. Brilliant display

I have seen people complain about the Pentile Matrix but you can't spot any differences. The display is brilliant. If you notch up the brightness to full and play a 1080p video, you will know what I mean. The big size also means that the Note is a better. Reading is amazing on it, literally. You can zoom in and the text is still super clear. There are a lot more stuff to it too. You will see when you buy it.

2. Battery

The 2500 mAH battery is kickass. It last thourgh a full day of heavy use or two days of low to moderate use. If one 2500mAh battery aint enough, you can get more from eBay. I bought a three battery pack with an external charger for $14 and they are doing pretty well.

It is a bit disappointing when you use your data plan a lot. But hey, you cannot have everything.

3. XDA Support

I have seen highly active forums before when I was using the HTC HD2 and the Desire HD. I must say that the Note devs and forums are brilliant. People like Chainfire, Chris X and eybee1970 are all coming up with new stuff. There are at least 5 stable ICS ROMs now. This is something you cannot get with any other phone.

4. Games

I have tried playing big and small games on the Note and they all look great. Fun games like Cut the Rope, Angry Birds etc are brilliant as usual and the bigger display just makes it better. HD games like Modern Combat 3, Shadowgun and Dead Space are in a league of their own. But somehow, I never really ended up playing big size games much.

5. GPS

Take my word. GPS is Amazing. I get locked on to 5m within a minute sometimes and the chip is so fast. It can be your ideal navigator.

6. Connectivity

If you have been around the Note threads for a while now, you would have seen a guy named NZTechFreak post a connectivity demo of the Note. If the above features didn't seal it for you, that should. It describes how you can put the different connectivity features of the Note and make it function like other devices.

For what I know, the Note is the best of the following:

1. A high-end Android phone with all features

2. A very good camera

3. A tablet like device that fits into your pocket and weighs reasonably less.

4. A gaming console wherein you can emulate all classic games, connect to a HDTV via MHL, use a bluetooth joystick and play.

5. A HD Media Play, wherein you use your USB OTG to connect to a 1TB HDD or a 2GB pendrive to see content on the go. You can switch with MHL and use with your TV.

6. A portable gaming console, which lets you play some of the best games out there on the go.

7. A great eBook Reader, that will easily last for several hours even if you continuously. The Super AMOLED makes the experience super cool.

8. A Internet device, using which you can view webpages the way they are meant to be.

9. Run Ubuntu on it and use it as a PC, with all features.

There are probably more cool stuff I can say, but you get the point :D

I hope I was convincing enough :)
