          I love the idea of this device. I have a 7.7" galaxy tab and it's great, but it is a little bulky. With this device you would have all of the practicality of a phone, in a mini tablet device. LOVE IT!

                To critics of this interesting device: Apparently, it costs less than Nokia's latest flagship, prestiguous N9. So, I guess you would rather buy that 3,9" Nokia than Note? :))

                        the phone is extremely large i mean look in the pic it next to the gs2 which is already large , whatever the specs are ,no massive sized phone is worth it i feel like it's a tab not a phone.
                        My lucky number is 4.5 inch screen that's the maximum size phone i can handle without feeling i'm holding a tab or a you could say a very big flat shoe.
                        OMG how can you even put a huge thing like that in your pocket without worrying you're gonna split it in half besides it's uncomfortable size

                          About the it-won't-fit hype: it is personal.

                          For me, I can literally fit a 7' Galaxy tab in my business pants pocket without anyone ever notice a bulge! I find it hard to keep my current 3.7' Omnia HD stable cause it keeps swaying in my pocket.

                              I'm surprised so many people want this phone, but hey, thank God for variety and difference in taste, otherwise we'd all be the same. Far, far too big for me, that's why I went to the opposite end of the smartphone size spectrum (SE Xperia Ray) :)
