Got the Samsung Note II this past week and love it. My fingers are large so I'm loving the on-screen touch keyboard. Since I do a lot with graphics & photos, my fave specs are 1080p video res which is as good as a pro camera. How many megapixels the camera has is not as important, since other factors like type of zoom, etc are more important to photo quality. But then again this is not supposed to be a pro camera. The screen is large enough that I can clearly watch Netflix & Hulu TV shows & movies with my son in HD. Not everyone will be comfortable with a screen this large (5.5 in) but for me, it's like having a phone & mini-tablet, so I'm scratching plans for buying an iPad or Droid tablet. More specs below.
