Quite a coincidence that this product comes out and is reviewed the same day that Dilbert opines on the same subject

Look, it is the best Galaxy S phone thus far, and you don't have to use the S Pen if you don't want to. I got the Note this week, and I love the large screen, and find that most functions work better on this than on my last Galaxy S, the Samsung Infuse (before that, I had the Captivate). Multiple windows and screen icons management are much easier. I haven't used the camera yet but I can't believe it would be worse than the Infuse's camera, which was excellent. I find the size fine, as it's not that big. And content is much easier to read on the larger screen. Bray didn't mention that there is another writing to text feature that works perfectly. If you click on a symbol for text at the bottom of an email, you'll get a blackboard on the bottom third of the screen. Then, you can write or print with your finger and it does translate into text above (in the email) perfectly. It did for me every time. So if you set your sights to reasonable, you will love the Note.
