I have coveted this phone since before it was announced, I was looking at getting it's predecessor and when I was doing research discovered this one was only weeks away from being announced so thought I'd hold out. Once it was announced and turned out it was all it was hyped to be, I set about waiting for it to hit our stores (and have the money for it). It arrived finally but through importers rather than providers but I still didn't have the funds. Finally Vodafone announced they had it and I'm pleased I waited as the one that they stock (DC version) has been developed specifically for their new network, something the other ones aren't, so while they'll work and do all the same things, the network coverage may suffer.

It is a very large phone/small tablet, otherwise known as a phablet. I have found, since getting it, that my computer is turned on much later in the day than I usually would as it can do everything I use my computer for. Web browsing is excellent and I often find myself reverting to the full site rather than using mobile sites as the screen size is large enough to view them easily and you can also zoom in with ease.

The Note II is so packed with features it's hard to know what to include and what not to, the S-pen (stylus) is really useful and the handwriting software is excellent, even with my scrawl. There is no auto-correct (that I've found) and the word suggestions for texting are very often spot on so you don't even have to start writing just click on the suggested words.

There's a few too many included programmes such as Dropbox and Flipboard which some might find useful but they're not for me. Being an android phone you have access to the Googleplay store where you can pick up some excellent apps and widgets, Samsung also has their own store which is where you'll find S-pen apps.

Overall if you're after a phone that can do a little bit of everything, and do it well, I would recommend it. If you're tossing up whether to get a new phone or a tablet, or needing/wanting to get both, then it's well worth a look. If you want your phone to be a phone then it's probably not for you but if that's the case you probably haven't bothered to read this anyway!
