Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 review: Power play

16 November 2011
Tablets are cool. But they have a purpose too. Larger screens, higher resolution and more mileage out of the battery make them better suited for certain tasks. That’s why people are not only fascinated by them but do end up actually...

    A great review of a brilliant device.

    Easily fits in shirt pocket (or trouser pocket if you prefer) and the optional flip case provides protection and keeps the form factor really minimal.

    The size is not an issue when making phone calls - and I find it works really well on loudspeaker when placed top down into a shirt pocket whilst driving. No need for a handsfree kit...

    I prefer using it to my work supplied iPhone 4.

                    James, 18 Feb 2012I bought a Note and while it is great at video and camera, ... moreAny phone sized device would be pushed to replace a netbook, if you need something of that size.

                    While the Note would probably be higher resolution than most netbooks, it is not going to be able to be used for hours on end.

                    However, for all of the purposes for which I used to carry a Tab (look at news sites, etc), the Note does better, without the weight.

                      AnonD-41223, 24 Feb 2012It fits in pocket, just one hand operation is not possible.... moreThe latest update (70MB, not ICS) makes the phone/calc and hgeneral keyboards in portrait narrower, and capable of being biased to left or right to enable single-handed operation.

                      The general keyboard also includes numbers, which is great because I have found it a nuisance to keep toggling back and forth from alpha to numeric on other keyboards.

                      However, the biased keyboards are only available when selecting the Samsing Input Method. Swype is still full width.

                      I also have Thumb Keyboard which also includes navigation buttons (al la WM, which I missed), programmable keys, and the ability to specify the % of the display heaight the keyboard occupies in each of portrait and landscape.

                        AnonD-43429, 23 Feb 2012Will the External USB adaptor (for Samsung tablets) work on... moreThe microUSB to USB adaptor works for USB sticks and some mice/keyboards.

                        It works with Logitech Unified dongle for mice and keyboards, but not for the Microsoft Arcmouse. I don't know if other MS devices work or not.

                        It is quite amazing to use a mouse to navigate around the Note, though the pointer is rather small.

                                AnonD-21200, 16 Nov 2011I'm confused between 'SG-Note' and 'SG-tab 7.0 Plus'. I am ... moreHardware-based. The Galaxy Note has a Wacom digitizer, which no other phone or Android tablet has - yet.

                                This technology senses the position of the pen very accurately, and also takes input from a pressure sensor in the pen's tip. Therefore other devices will not have the same pen abilities as the Note, even after an upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich.

                                  I bought a Note and while it is great at video and camera, viewing pdf's, it is not a netbook replacement. In fact for what it can really do it is is well over priced and over rated. Great toy! Great fun, but way over rated at the end of the day.

                                    You forgot to write that Vlingo - the voice dialling application is the only one which can be used with BT. Samsung locked this settings and it can not be changed. So if you do not like Vlingo or your language is not supported you are still forced to use this application.
