I’ve had the original Note on AT&T followed by the Note 2 on Verizon and now the Note 3, also on Verizon. I’m over fifty, and my eyes are weaker than they once were, so I appreciate the bright, big screen. The N3 feels smaller and lighter than it should in the hand. It’s fast of course, and stat-tacular, but every new flagship can claim that quality. What really makes this a prize is the mammoth screen. It’s beautiful, bright, lovely to behold. More, the N3 is built around that screen, with it’s multi-tasking, split screen and stylus. TouchWiz, which started out an ugly duckling, has become something of a swan through brute force evolution. The battery life, as I’m sure you’ve heard, is fantastic. I often find myself seven hours into work with four or five percent of the battery used. I don’t use my phone much when I’m working, but think about that. Overall, the finest mobile phone I’ve owned, and I’ve owned a bunch.
