AnonD-28805, 11 Jun 2012because galaxy note is too small to be a tablet and too big... morei dont know what do you do with tablet. for me i had iphone 4s and Lenovo thinkpad tablet .. i alwasys hated to carry all those devices around so i ve sold both. after ive got Galaxy note and im totally happy with it. Galaxy Note can cover all the work i use to do with tablet. Android tablet is still can not cover all of your computer works so rather carry big tablet and a phone, try galaxy note is way better.

    Not for me (prefer the Asus Infinity 700 and a galaxy note) but hey.... that's the beauty of Android, they cater for everyone's taste not just those that want a 3.5" phone or 9.7" tablet.

      hmm for $859.50 u get a not so great specced phone imo , and a 10.1 Multi touch display that isnt so great either , just a big battery and better front camera as far as i see , so no thank you ASUS thats freaking expensive. rather get a phone and tablet separately instead.

                    I would rather buy Samsung Galaxy Note than this very expensive and stupid Pad + Phone duo. Why not using a smartphone alone that is also capable in doing what a tablet can do or vice versa than using two stupid devices? Samsung Galaxy Note is still the best so far!

                      i think it's somehow cheap, if you look at its specs. with the new S4 processor it's the second or third fastest device in the market at the moment that if it wasn't the fastest to begin with. you're basically getting SGS3 or HTC one X with the option of transforming it into a tablet at your convince not to mention the smart pen which neither of them has. now in what universe is 850$ expensive i ask ya.. in what universe?

                                    Wish this would come to Verizon. Having a crossover like this at a subsidy price would be great for consumers which cannot afford to buy both a tablet and a smartphone but want both. Oh, or there's the Galaxy Note.
