huh? not me, I don't have this feeling. Well perhaps they use a case which make their Note look bigger than yours if you are not using a protective casing?

lol...with such a big battery, the Note will definitely look like a brick which is the perfect term. People were looking in disgust when I used extended batteries in my past phones which made them looked bigger - since then, I had never bought any extended batteries - if I need juice, I take my 2nd stock battery with me.
Lol i get the exact same thing. I was watching a video of how to do some stuff on a note on youtube and thought the guys note looked bigger than mine.

Lol at all these. Actually I've had the same feeling too, and done the double check. On a related note, when I got my Note I ended up going to Amsterdam two days later, and saw 3 Notes on my first day! Helped convince my (iPhone toting) friends it was the best phone in the world!

You are very close! It is actually a well documented psyco-medical condition called "notusus envititis". Medical scientists are currently working furiously for a lasting solution. I doubt if they will succeed before a bigger screened device appears on the scene.
Q - Whats better than a Gnote?
A- Two Gnotes
I'm feeling it too, especially when I see girls with Note in the street and transport. It seems a lot bigger than mine...
The same thing happens when I look at 27" monitors at a store compared to mine at home haha
You got to have a big hand. Thats why when you see others hold their note with their small hands its look bigger...

And here I was thinking that I was going insane. Seems I'm not the only one, I am normal, Yeah Baby!
I've got XL hands, so when I see girls/guys-with-girly-hands use it... I'm like man that's humongous. Mine never looks large, but it feels large with the TPU case on which I only have for the kickstand.
If Samsung shaved the bezels, made it thinner and added a kickstand... I'd be right at home. And if they trimmed it down a 0.1 inch, then I could do acrobatics on one hand ; )
So do you feel the same when showering at the gym?

Yes! Stick with it. I also have a skyrocket which is the same size as your phone. The more you use the GNote, the more you will get used to its size. Give it a few weeks. Everything else else will feel small after that time!

My hands are probably smaller than average and so it felt a bit big in my hands at first. Within a few days I'd gotten totally used to it, and holding my HD2 then felt very strange!
Pockets were fine from day one.
Hang in there and it'll be fine

This is one of the nicest pentile displays. I miss the clean LCD looks of the SAMOLED+ display, but the viewing angle of the Note display is amazing! I was afraid it would get greenish or purple at extreme angles.
Overall, this is a great balance between phone and tablet. I intend to turn this thing into a little computer.
Eagerly waiting for CM7 or CM9.

In what way does the phone feel unusual/bad in your hands as a cellphone?
Dialing numbers? Just curious.
I got used to the size almost immediately - but then again, I'm not really a one handed phone user. If you are, the new 'one handed dialpad/keyboard' in the recent firmwares might be useful.

it didn't feel weird when i first bought it (2 weeks ago) but it was different. now everything else feels smaller, i own an ipod so after using my phone and then when i go to my ipod to play games it feels super small. only sad thing about the phone is the keyboard is f'ing annoying, i tried tumblring on my phone and like a million mistakes whereas my ipod doesn't make such mistakes but the screen is too small to post long posts so i finally changed the keyboard to smart keyboard which i think is the best
Any still using original Samsung keyboard????
Like the rest here, everything else feels small after using the Note! With it's HD screen and slim design, it blows everything away.
It's a lot easier than carrying an iPad around everywhere.
People say to me its massive, I honestly don't notice anymore. Its perfect. You soon forget.. I do remember the first time I held it. I thought omg!! Huge! Lol..

I read someone else say that when you get used to the size that you can't do without it. He was right. The phone is huge. After a couple of weeks its no big deal. But the advantages of the big screen becomes normal and you couldn't do without it.
So give it a couple of weeks and see how you go. If its no good then maybe the soon to be released 4.6" Sony Xperia Ion with narrower 16:9 screen will suit better. Or Galaxy Nexus if you can live without SDHC expansion.

I remember when I upgraded my HTC Desire S to SGSII that it fell so big and I had a hand ache for a week. The same happened with Note - it takes week to get used to it but after that (as for others), everything else looks small and Note seems like normal phone to me.
But there's one thing - gel transparent S cover (mine is red). I had it on my SGS2 ans I bought it for note also, because those phone are so thick and light and yet so Smith, that it feels uncomfortable to hold them - I always feel that they sooner or later slip and fall from my hand.
The S cover has rough sides, so it feels better and it prevent the phone from sliding on the table also. Another thing is, that it has little edges over the display (it's 1mm thicker thanbthe phone, so if you put your phone on the table display down, it sits on the rubber edge ans not the display itself.

Actually I have an iPod touch and that's what it is, it's a toy. Even though it has better APIs than Blackberry, I still felt more productive using a Blackberry than iOS. Now Android is the killer of the three!! And the Note is just so awesome it makes EVERYTHING else a toy
bulky & heavy
I tries a mate's iPhone on Friday. it was very heavy, compared to the Note, and very small.
He had a largish case around it wiuth a backup battery built in. Great idea, but the whole thing was quite bulky compared to the Note.
Why were we comparing? He was going to buy a Note (ever since he saw mine), and wanted to swap to play with it
This is the best phone ever

I love the solid feeling that my iPhone gives me, the glass and the steel lead the user into thinking and feeling as though it is a premium product. This is one of the genius of Apple. Make people feel something for their device, and you will sell a ton.
I love my Note, but it feels so flimsy and cheap compared to my iPhone 4(jailbroken). I love how the software is designed over iOS, and though it is more limited without my jailbreak, most of my non tech friends would never make use of the extra anyway.
Battery life is about the same. The Note is the first Android Phone that can compete with the iPhone 4 in terms of battery life.(Though now the MaXX can too I guess) but they of course have almost double the battery size(though they needs it with the larger screens and the 4g radio in the Max's case)
While my friends do marvel at the size of the Note, they do see that unless they have large hands like me, they can't use it with one hand. This is usually a deal breaker. Especially for the ladies.
My Note is my everyday phone. But when I go out to the clubs, or on a date, the iPhone goes with me sans a case.
Whenever I try my girlfriends iPhone I almost laugh at how bad the screen is compared to my note. Feels like it's no contrast whatsoever.

Read my Post, SOLID FEELING. Just because something feels solid does not mean it will hold up better on a drop. In-fact the more rigid a material is, the more likely it will bust when impacted. Such as Glass vs Plastic. But in the hand, the FEELING of glass is far more pleasing than Plastic. I often handle my phones as I would pass a coin from finger to finger as in fiddling motion. The Note creeks and bends as I do that, the iPhone is solid and non-yielding.
I don't drop my phones. And If I did, that's why I have a square trade warranty. on both.
Thank you, for making my point.

I didn't really feel that was the case for me personally...when I held them side-by-side. But I must say the Note feels more comfortable to grip overall.
I probably won't get the at&t Note until the end of this month/ start of next month. Hoping that stable ICS will be out by then...or even if not, I'll finally get it due to impatience.
But for the time being...I'm planning to use my HP Pre 3 again next week....Much different from the Streak and Note...but still 55555 times better than iPhones.
It's not so much the .3" difference, but the reduction in bezel. Oh, and the massive bump in resolution. Night and day. Also feels much better in hand as it feels so much thinner and with the rounded back. The drop in 40 or so grams also helps too.

oh nothing major, just, you know, the size.
I always use the phone one handed and with the streak I sometimes wish it was just a couple millimeters smaller. I must admit though that the note fits better in the hand, maybe it's because of the reduced width or the chassis design, don't know.
And another major point is that I'm not going to repeat the streak experience with manufacturer support and such (although I am pretty sure sammy is not going to screw up as dell). the nexus line will always come first, update-wise, and that's his major selling point for me.
I'd light to hear more information about people that make the switch, stability of the customer roms on the Nook, for example, wifi when sleeping. And other con/pros.
Note is a great device,smooth and awesome,still,I am gonna to stick to streak for now.cuz note is too expensive in cn,one note=two streak and more.besides,note feels like a toy.

Must admit, I had the same feeling after watching that and sticking to my HOX. I'm not gonna cancel my pre-order though, I'm sure I'll love it when it comes.
I'm of the opposite opinion. It's looking better as I see it being handled more and more by reviewers. A big issue with phones this size is usability with one hand. Contrary to the specs it seems the Samsung may actually be narrower than the One X, and the rounded profile will give better reach. I like my One X very much. It's built stunningly well and feels very good in the hand, but even with my good sized guy hands I can just barely reach the ends of the screen as well as the hard buttons at the bottom without repositioning my hand.
The strengths and weaknesses of these two phones complement each other so well that there's nothing between them overall net. (The One XL has none of the problems the One X does since they have different chipsets and screens). Thankfully that glossy battery cover of the SIII can be changed. It's my biggest issue with this phone. If physical usability in the hand of one is much better than the other it will be the trump imo. I think I will return my One X and wait till the SIII releases. Maybe I'll end up getting another One X, but considering how different these two phones are and considering I'm in this for two years (contract) I want to be sure I'm getting the right one.
How funny they've made a magnetic cover for it like what the iPad 2 has.
That blue colour just looks better and better the more I see it. So glad my pre order of the white version cancelled itself lol

Because people are all about looks/aesthetics these days, that's why.... either way I wrap my baby up in a case, so ven if I had an M8 you wouldn't be able to see the "premium, beautiful metal build". FYI I prefer the plastic, doesn't dent or scratch nearly as easy as metal, and less weight, so when/if it does fall, it gets less damage!
my fav was the note 2... but this phone is great the m8 was long for no reason didnt feel good in the hand and was heavy
soon as i got the 5 out the box it felt way better before even turning it on

I've never had a problem with touchwiz. This one is more user friendly and maybe more designed for the casual user but I do find things easier now.
The battery life is better than my S3 but all phones seem to start out with battery life being good for the first year then it goes down.

I actually liked the handling of the S4 (might be one of the few who actually did lol!)
I actually have to, but I agree about the bezel. Even tho I really like the look of the S4's bezel, the one of the S5 is pretty horrible lol. I really dont like it at all. But, that alone wouldn't persuade me from getting it.
I'll also admit that the white one feels extremely slippery on the back. Besides using an OtterBox for work every day, I'm not a huge case guy. Soon as i T home each day, I take the Defender off and slip on the Spigen bumper case that I got. Phone almost slipped outta my hands quite a few times already.
Orhan than that, I got no regrets. Very well rounded device. Surely won me over once again compared to HtC

The camera is pretty good for a PHONE. Your expectations might be a little high. I mean its hard to get a pic of my kids playing even with my high end cam so to expect this cam to do it is silly

Because people are all about looks/aesthetics these days, that's why.... either way I wrap my baby up in a case, so ven if I had an M8 you wouldn't be able to see the "premium, beautiful metal build". FYI I prefer the plastic, doesn't dent or scratch nearly as easy as metal, and less weight, so when/if it does fall, it gets less damage!

Yes, I agree. I just generally think people are way too picky nowadays and want perfection when it comes to phones. I'm like you, I prefer plastic.

I recently purchased the Galaxy S5 and I have to say, it's one of the best phones I have had. I am yet to have any problems with it and it's just perfect for my everyday use!
Has anyone else got it? What are your thoughts?

The fact that it doesn't do simultaneous voice and data definitely makes it NOT the best phone!
