Samsung Galaxy Note: 5.3", 1200x800 SuperAMOLED, S-PEN stylus, 2500mAh attery... *phew*

Very tempted to get this as my next phone. I would like to try walking arOund with it in my pocket first.
We've seen a £600 estimate on price, how would you guess that will translate in terms of a monthly phone contract?
 
Samsung Galaxy Note hands-on: First look

First impressions
The Samsung Galaxy Note is the device we all wish we had: a huge high-res screen, plenty of processing power, and a great camera.
But as far as portability goes, the Note is closer to a 7" tablet than a phone. You could carry it around, but it won't feel comfortable in your jeans or shirt pocket. You could even use it as a phone, but it's not great, ergonomically speaking.
Still, the screen is one of the most impressive things we've seen this side of the Galaxy Tab 7.7 and the Exynos chipset gives you performance as high as smartphones and tablets have gotten to date (well, not counting Intel-based tablets of course).
We'll be starting on a preview for the Samsung Galaxy Note now - there's still a lot of things we haven’t checked yet (we're particularly interested to see if the stylus can make a comeback) and we have to get a closer look at the screen, camera and the rest.

Wow, I'd love one, can't agree with people saying a SGS2 is large and unpocketfriendly. My wallet is longer, wider, and 3x as fat if not fatter... And that SHARES the same pocket with my phone (sgs2 in a zenus estime case).

(or fatties who have bigger pockets!)

I'm probably far slimmer than you. I'm just used to carrying a lot of stuff in my pockets!

Contract up in December, might have a play with one of these in a store before I decide whether to swap to something new or stick with the SGS2.
