Samsung Galaxy Note preview: First look

30 September 2011
They used to be big, later they became redundant. As soon as smartphones were ready to offer the same features, PDAs were on the way to becoming extinct. With a device like the Samsung Galaxy Note though, one can't help but wonder if they're...

      Why does GSM Arena continuously complain about the fact that the card slot is under the battery? 80% of people just stick the card in and forget about it, they don't need hot-swap for it.

          I never been satisfied with the fact that I need to choose the screen/viewing size in the store, I want flexible displays... Also I never been impressed by the touchscreen idea. Where are the devices that manipulate with my eyes, so only I can see a ''real'' three dimensional holograpich OS in front of me too interact with...

          I don't even have a smartphone and for several reasons I stick to my very old camera that dont even have a camera lol. Though looking at the market today, I would choose the Galaxy Note, from my ponit of view and needs, the Galaxy Note is not too big, it is the other smartphones that are too small... ;)

                  Can you please do a comparison review of the note andd the Samsung galaxy nexus. Please compare the USB on the go and MHL features by connecting them to large screen TVs, projectors, keyboards, flash memory sticks, hard disks (via powered usb hubs), gaming controllers, connecting cameras to directly transfer photos (as possible on many years old archos 605 with portable dock), MHL splitter cables and if a gaming controller and output to projector or large screen can be connected simultaeneously via the use of MHL splitter cables etc. If possible please do a video of how these features are used as tutorils too.

                  Please allow users to post via ´disqus´ profiles as am not interested in linking facebook profiles as i dont have a facebook profile :o

                      This phone seems to deal with many issues like web browsing and the stylus pen.

                                    Hope the price is not as big as the screen. The phone is perfect except for the ludicrous price
