This thing is an absolute beast. A lot of people think its too big, but i haven't had any problems and i like the overall size. Hell that is why i bought it. Watching videos and surfing the net is so easy now.
Just got the Samsung Note...

Went to the car dealership the other day and our sales guy had one... looks pretty ridiculous in my opinion. But hey... it has a stylus! lol

This is defiantly on my radar. I played with one at best buy last weekend and I loved it. I rarely use my phone to talk to people so the size is great for me. Only problem is I gotta switch to att....but my contract will be up in august. Cant wait
I really enjoy my Note.
Yeah I thought it was absolutely too big until I held it in my hands. Then it was not near as big as I had built it up to be. That being said it is still a big phone. It does fit into the pockets of my jeans and athletic shorts completely and with ease. So straining to take it in and out of my pocket is not an issue at all.
As far as apps go, I switched from an iPhone 4, so I am having to learn how the Android OS works. A couple things I got though were a flashlight app and battery percentage app. My brother was telling me about an app that you can download that automatically kills your apps when you go to the home screen, so you do not boggle down the ram and it saves power.

Also Cerberus is basically the same thing but a little more advanced. I love it!
Thanks for the advice apps guys.
No I decided i am tired of itunes. I hate itunes. I also was tired of being limited with apples os. I honestly think android is the way to go. Especially if you get ice cream sandwich.

I have the Galaxy Nexus and love it, it came out before the Note and I'm on Verizon anyway. But there was already details of it before I got my phone and I thought it would be to big. Now the Galaxy Nexus is not a small phone by no means, it has a 4.65 screen, after using it awhile there is no doubt I could get use to the size of the Note and would love it. Thing I'm most jealous of is the stylus, I even bought one for my phone but it's not the same LOL.
Interesting article on BGR about what they call "phablets." I guess technically my One X is a "phablet" too as they say anything with 4.6"+ screen for that.

Honestly, i know quite a few people have made a comment on the Note having a stylus, i have used it twice since i have had the phone and once was to draw a picture(i drew a dick by his face in his senior picture). The accuracy on this screen is really good. It is not iphone good, but still very good.
I still have no complaints about the size. My only slight complaint would be battery time is not too great. All in all though i got what i wanted and more out of this "phablet".

I'll be getting this after all the fuss is over and the price comes down...we're on an AT&T plan and the phone should be ready for us to upgrade for next to nothing by that time. I like it because we travel a lot and it's everything in one and that's great for not having to lug around a phone, laptop, camera, etc.
