Yes, there are games developed for with the use of the S Pen.

"Can you take down notes while drive a car?"
It's illegal to use your phone while driving. Any sane educated, law abiding individuals know what you're suppose to be doing - concentrating on driving for the safety of everyone. You're saying it like no one can use the Galaxy Note without an S Pen. News flash - you can use the three Galaxy Note like a normal smartphone.

"Do you write your daily note & diary with spen?
Here be honest!"
Yes, I take pages of notes for my lessons, meeting notes and communicating in sketches with my peers on the Same Note app. I sketch designs because in an architect.

"Do you know all spen features include in z1&z2?"
Like what? It seems you don't know what is a Wacom digitizer is, which is the S Pen. Sony doesn't implement any Wacom based technology in their devices.

"Do you know screen shot*sketch* voice memo are better than spen experience?"
Huh?

"For example, if you drive a car and remark new phone number, you can"t use spen!"
Again, you don't endanger people just because you need to take a memo while you're driving. Such an self serving thing to be doing,and you should be arrested for doing so.

"You only use voice memo and recording!
Forget your useless stick"

Wow, you really are showing us you're very informed about how things work. The Galaxy Note also takes voice commands and voice recording.

        The S Pen settings has a power saving mode that turns off the Wacom digitizer sensor sheet behind the Super AMOLED screen if the S Pen is inside the pen silo. I keep the digitizer turned on all the time as there's no significant difference in power drainage. I've done this in my Note 2, 8 and 3 because I still use an extra S Pen with a thicker handle and an eraser end for my scorching needs.

        http://www.flickr.com/photos/92800985@N06/8458199830/

        And guess what, the Galaxy Note still works perfectly with just your fingers for capacitive screen functions. I don't know what this uninformed person is on about how terrible the Note 3 is.

        Never believe someone who makes up things he obviously doesn't use, need or experienced thoroughly.

        The Note 3 is a smooth device with more functionality with the S Pen. It's the most heavily features functioning mobile device in the market at the moment.

          Based on the 3 years experience of using S-Pen.

            Some people say Spen is good;
            Here are the trouble of being spen*
            (1)Taking out spen
            (2)Writing on glass plane(phone screen) with spen is rather unpleasant
            (3)In writing, you can't use two hands like on keyboard
            (4) For 15_minute passage you have to spend up to one hour due to difficulties on glass plane writing
            (5) you have your own 10 spen (10 fingers) and they are mire manageable
            (6)*using spen more often make tons of lags on your note3 screen&performances
            (7) it make battery life shorten***

              Have a closer look at my pure aluminum. I chose that over black to avoid seeing scratches on it in the long run.

              There is one that aren't screwed in. Avoid the two piece types where you will slide in the front part. It will leave scratches.

                            You really do need to zoom in to read better. Word or PDFs can't have adjustable text.

                            However, you can adjust the text style and size of ebooks on the PlayBooks app. Highly optimized.

Don't think I should be getting a case that disrupts signal as I live in an area with signal issues to begin with.. I am looking for a bumper that would cover the sides of the phone completely.. If you could link me to something that would cover that, highly appreciated. Saw the siege cover, they good but I am in desperate search for one that doesn't add bulk and would protect and cover the sides..

I'm vaguely interested in the Galaxy S series. Not even the Galaxy S5 with its water resistance and nice power optimization. At least those will be in the next Note.

                                  Galaxy Notes give so much more features with a built-in Wacom digitizer, than without to boast how much power and RAM it has.

I've learned to hone some fast techniques in drawing with the S Pen with the Galaxy Note 2, Note 8 and now with the Note 3. These were done using the using Sketchbook app.

                                      Some were done on-location while they aren't asked to pose. You can't get those dynamic thin to thick lines spontaneously with just a finger or capacitive pen. The S Pen has 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity. The more pressure, the thicker the lines.

                                      Of course also writing and sketching with S Note.

                                      Why in the world should visual artists like me would switch to something without a Wacom digitizer (S Pen)? The Note series just gives us a wonderful device for sketching anywhere, anytime.
