Galaxy Note I717 thread

wanna know your opinions and if it can be used on Mobilicity/Wind.

Played with one at the Bell Store, they want $729 + 1 month commitment.

The Phone is Massive but strangely feels fine in my hands. Its very light.

Why do some people buy it just because you can draw on it? A phone isn't a drawing pad, silly.

I see these like 10 times a day in HK. I can't believe people buy them... to me, they seem too small to be a tablet, but too large to be a phone. It's like the worst of both worlds, I don't get it

I had one a few months ago but bought it only because it reminded me of my Sony Ericsson P990 days. I like having the ability to use my phone as if it were a paper and pen sometimes because it's easier to do in certain circumstances.

Needless to say, I got rid of it before I lost any money. These phones are being sold at ridiculous prices and I hardly think they're worth their buck.

well i don't make a lot of calls and only use it for reading and watching movies and surfing (the net lol!)

i find my Galaxy S2 a touch too small and the resolution isnt the greatest. I have been spoiled by my Retina Display, sooo...

yeah i wont be using the pen, however it works very well on the phone. I may just switch carriers again to get this

well perhaps its just a fad with these massive phones/tablets. Some people might think its the best of both worlds. I believe all carriers are selling it for 199 on 3 year though, not 299.

imo if you don't need it for LTE data the international version has a better processor.

And besides getting the international version is slightly cheaper than paying retail for one so I'd go that method anyday..

when i saw a customer with one i almost dropped my shit, it was huge.

It's also incredibly light for it's size.

i would have to think hard about getting it because i remember thinking the galaxy nexus was too big.
