Awesome phone and very interesting review, I enjoyed reading it. Still i can't agree to the mentioned main disadvantages, because most of them aren't really cons. Now I'm even more convinced that the Note's going to be my next phone!

Biased review by AppleArena
let's see the cons:
-Won’t fit comfortably in every pocket: This shows how stupid the reviewer is because it's a phone-tablet of course it wouldn't be easy to fit your pocket can an ipad fit your pocket?
-Much harder for one-handed use than a regular smartphone: same goes up it's phone-tablet it should be big
-All-plastic body: not all people want metal bodies i prefer plastic it is much lighter and can tolerate the heat of the phone (Dual cores) otherwise why we make oven handles from plastic? There are uses for plastic and uses for metal!
-No dedicated camera key: same stupid thing goes for every phone not Note only and i don't know why they keep mentioning it over and over even me i don't like camera button to be pumped up it will increase the rates pushing it accidentally more!
Non-hot-swappable microSD card: it's like you can swap your sd! it will ruin the card if you do that while the open is still running so it's a good point you can't swap it easily!

malcolm, 17 Nov 2011this review is correct, the reviewer mention this is just a... moreWRONG.... the iPhone 4s change the camera and processor, not the screen build etc... the not has a inch bigger screen (high def), an excellent s pen which is industry leading along with faster processor. To say the least this phone is pioneering as far as smartfones are concerned and to compare the advancement from the s2 to the iPhone 4 - 4s shows exactly your knowledge. Ps. Gingerbread is meant for single core, when this baby gets ics, it will be WAY faster than iPhone 4s

S-Pen and the display make this phone worthy enough. Extremely useful for couple of occasions.

this review is correct, the reviewer mention this is just a improved version of SGS2 with larger screen. it didnt bought anything to the mobile world. This does not mean that its not good. its just mean its better but not fasinating.
The very same reason why Iphone 4S is a good but not fasinating.

AnonD-14018, 16 Nov 2011gsmarena made it sound dissapointing . They were dissapoinj... moreThe disappointment is probably there because Samsung is the manufacturer of the screens, so there is less of an excuse not to give the best.

I know PhoneArea love to boast about how good iPhone 4S FullHD video quality is in every review. Unfortunately, you guy never point out the fact that Apple sacrifice video compression in order to give us very high resolution video but also very BIG file!!!! 10min FullHD video cost 1GB++ of memory....Those poor iPhone 4S owner can only shoot 14?? videos.....Bye bye to your holiday shoot.

Only con for me is that cpu isn't the exynos(4212) that is manufactured in 32nm node, but again it is still exynos(4120).

Something missing from this review: "What's In The Retail Box?" (besides _not_ the MHL dongles). Does it come with case? The preview at Mobile-review.com showed a slick folio case for the G-Note.

Would've liked to have seen some side-by-side comparison photos alongside a Dell steak/htc titan/sensation xl.

fortunately this phone isn't for everyone, you don't like it, well, move on and buy your dream phone. I'm getting this one soon, I love special gadgets.
