Product Review: Samsung Galaxy Note

I love LOVE love my new phone.


This phone (If you can call this just a phone) was an early birthday gift from Captain Amazing, and I honestly can say this is the best gift I have received EVER (including the 1st year cabbage patch dolls came out and I got SIX and my 3 year old self though I was in heaven).  I use my phone for EVERYTHING, its not just a way to communicate with friends and family, but Work, Reading, Music, Entertainment, Blogging, Shopping, Photography, Scheduling, Banking, Budgeting .....the list is endless and finally I have a device that will do it all!


In the last 3 years I have tried several "Smart" Phones, I had started with the iphone of course, which I found to be a bit counter-productive as it didn't interface with my PC well and I was limited to apple software and apps, I then upgraded to the Sony Xperia X-10 now I admit this was my own bad choice as I was taken in by its prettiness and didn't do ANY product research this phone I am sure would be fine if you were using it for simple communication and the occasional web search but for me, it was the pits, it just wasn't big enough, fast enough or AWESOME enough.  When I heard about the Note I was intrigued, here is a phone/tablet that does everything I want and more! But even I was a bit concerned from the start about the size of the phone,  its huge here are some specs from the Sony Website




SIZE : 146.85 x 82.95 x 9.65 mm, 178g


I thought to myself, this will be great as an ereader, but will it feel weird and clunky making a phone call, will it fit in my PURSE????


Answer: This phone is AMAZING, Not only are my ebooks clear and easy to read but I actually like the size of the phone for making phone calls, better than the smaller phones, it fits comfortably in my hand AND my purse.


This phone offers a variety of other great apps and benefits:


Camera : Rear is 8 mps with an LED flash and it has a front camera for Video Calling that is 2mp 


Video capture and play back : Full 1080p HD, amazing for watching Netflix and recording my daughters baseball games! 


All the apps that come standard are awesome sauce and unlike my previous android phone, I am able to use Adobe Flash and Instagram.


All in all an amazing product, Kudos to you Sony I don't foresee having to upgrade my phone for a very long time (unless something bigger comes out of course lol)
