Mini- review: Just got my new Samsung Galaxy Note
 

This behemoth of a phablet has a massive 5.3" Amoled screen. The colors are very vibrant and the screen screams "look at me!!". This is coming from a long time apple fanboy. I've had every iteration of the iphone since the original and Im glad I made the switch. The UI is fairly user friendly once you get comfortable with the changes. I ordered myself a PLX kiwi bluetooth OBDII adapter and downloaded the torque pro app. It shows gauges such as boost, revs, and includes HP, 0-60 times and 1/4 miles times. I am blown away at technology these days. Now I dont have to install a boost gauge on my Sti!! Here are some pics of the size difference between the iphone and the note. :happydance::happydance:

Nice! Samsung always makes good products, I have the galaxy s2, and its absolutely amazing what the phone can do. Or should I say what it can't do.:icon17:

the heck you get one already. ive been waiting for this

Ya man three days later and Im still blown away by it.

Ya i ordered it from amazon. I would wait until the official att version is out. I have the international version and i just found out its not unlocked or 4g. Good thing amazon has an amazing return policy.

ahh ok gotcha. yeah i think the official release is this week/weekend. Gonna try to pick it up.

Good luck man. I preordered mine as was advised by the ATT rep. Apparently this phone is going to rival the iPhone release. We'll see though.

Wow! That thing is huge compared to the iPhone. It would feel like I was using my iPad as a phone. lol

yeah should be nice for on the airplane. the iphone is too small to use for videos. and my laptop at 17.3 is too big : /

Ya i thought the same thing for the first couple of days but after using it for a week or so, I've come to the conclusion that its actually the perfect size phone.

Its an awesome phone but i am waiting for Galaxy S3

yes heard about this, should be out next month.

Ya I can't imagine the s3 having very good battery life. Its 4g, has an amoled screen and has a quad core processor with 2gb of ram. Those are some hefty stats for a cell phone.

hefty stats, but slim phone and lightweight.

atleast the galaxy s2 is, surprisingly battery lasts me a whole day with constant texting, internet browsing, calls, e-mails and catching up on my NBA mobile app.

Oh and its wicked fast! Truly one of the best phones out today.

I'm not entirely sure how much the other stuff will effect batter life (4g is a pig, though) but if the quad-core is anything like the Tegra 3 in my Transformer Prime it should actually help it. I'm no tech guru but it has to do with the core management, only bringing an additional core up when it's needed or running multiple cores at lower frequencies to keep energy consumption down.
