Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Black n900a

After owning every iPhone ever made, I realized just how bored I was as a smartphone user. And the second I laid eyes on the Note 3, I knew it was the one for me. Some people jokingly gave me a hard time about it's size, but I absolutely love it. Everything else seems so tiny to me now, and impossible to text with. Using my phone as much as I do for work, it has become a blessing being able to see Blue Prints in large detail while on the go, and the S Pen makes writing notes within those Blue Prints for adjustments, the coolest thing ever.

This is the best cell phone I have ever used. The screen is beautiful to look at. It is big enough, easy to type on, takes great pictures, and is an absolute pleasure to use on a daily basis. I have used iPhone, Windows Phone 8, and Galaxy s3 and this phone is the clear winner out of every other phone I have ever used. More than enough ram and processing power. Battery life lasts all day. Call quality is great. It is not too heavy but also not too light.

Now this is a great phone! I just upgrades from my galaxy s4 and took advantage of At&t's next program and I am so impressed with this phone. I was weary at first of switching to such a large phone but got used to it very fast. One advantage is that Samsung made it very thin and light weight so to me I don't even notice its large size anymore. This phone features wise is loaded with things you can do and they finally effectively took advantage of what a stylus is capable of. Samsung is the inventor of the phablet and they hit a homerun with this one. The display is great and the new look is premium as the black note 3 has a nice leather feel and look on the back. Also, this phone is fast! I feel like Samsung finally created a phone that is capable of running their heavy loaded touchwiz software! I was considering waiting for the galaxy s5 but after now choosing the note series I do not see any going back. Grab the note and grab some galaxy gear to go alongside it, you are in for a fun time!!!

One of the best phones I ever owned, it has an excellent battery life. I love the features and the ability to expand and explore. The screen size and resolution is out of this world. It was worth changing from iPhone to the note 3, will never look back.

I had an S3 and wanted to get this on release day but couldn't. Was going to just wait for the Note 4 at that point. Glad I didn't! This is my favorite phone since the Palm series (650, 700, Centro). Love having a stylus again. I owned the Galaxy SII, & 3, my wife and daughters have the S2 and two S4's so I know a bit about Samsung phones. I have other tablets and Samsung TV's too. This phone is extremely fast with more programs than my other phones had. 32GB of memory on board is a nice bonus. The screen is *beautiful* and it's easy to see the difference when I compare it to the S Series phones I have. The S-pen features I'm still learning, but it's really amazing what you can do with it. I made a great collage in S Note last night that in the past I had to create using a program like Photoshop on a desktop or laptop and that was highly impressive. Having the speaker at the bottom of the phone is much better than on the back of the phone especially if I lay the phone down. Hiccup free for all games. Fits my hand perfectly and I like the leather back and silver sides. My first white phone looks clean still after two months in my hand. Two minor gripes and one major: Minor: Pressing the home button accidentally while you are on the home page opens "My Magazine". It would be nice if it was just the swiping up motion. Instead they really put pressure on us to use "Flipboard" (aka "My Magazine") even though the device is well over $500 for us - and they give us a separate widget for it on another screen - and plenty customization options in every other facet. Minor: How could this phone not come with a headset? All of my other Galaxy's came with headsets. Major: I got into Samsung monitors and TV's because of the color reproduction as I'm a photographer in addition to my other night job. This phone's digital zoom kills the 13 Megapixel pic quality when you have to zoom out. So run and get close to your subject. Probably the worst camera visual quality of the Galaxy series. On the plus side, there are tons of features for the camera that I haven't had enough time to finish playing with (but they would not affect the zoom quality). Not bad enough for me to give it a 4 star. The good far outweighs the bad.
