I bought a Samsung note at launch and it's been solid. I love the bigger screen and stylus. Only gripes would be poor battery life and it could use a faster processor. It has a 1.5ghz but doesn't feel as snappy as my old atrix phone did. Im guessing its because the atrix had an nvidia chip and a lower resolution. As far as usability goes though this is by far the best phone I've owned. Now if we could just get the ICS update.
