I disagree. It fits well in my jeans or north face jacket. I notice it less than my iphone due to it weighing less.

I am a big guy and it sticks out of my pocket. Which iPhone? Surely not the 5. I have to tap my pockets at times just to be sure I have it.

I too wear raw denim. I'm about 1.5 years into my Naked and Famous (left hand twill) so they are pretty worn in. The note fits pretty well into my back pocket with only maybe a mm or two sticking out. I dont like front phone fades so I keep it in my back. Really enjoying it so far!

We have the same denim lol. I feel like it'll fit fine in N&F, worried about APC since they're not as broken in.

Looks like it was a Verizon and AT&T thing unless they decided to change it.

Should have nothing to do with the carrier. When dropbox is opened for the first time it leads you to the site where you claim your 50 gig plan. My Note 10.1 came with it too.

Doubtful no one single phone on the Samsung side has outsold the iPhone except when the iPhone is about to be refreshed like the 4S was last quarter. Overall i doubt it anytime soon.

I suspect at some point in the future if they stand a chance it will not be on a "phablet" sized phone but something closer to their Galaxy S3 sized.

No. For a couple of reasons. First and foremost, the Galaxy Note II has a lot of competition from other very, very good Android phones. Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, HTC One X, Droid Razr Maxx, Galaxy S III, etc

Second, women are less enthused about huge phones. That is ~50% of the customer base right there.

I've actually been reading that women don't have a problem with the size of the note and note 2 because they can just drop it in their purse.

Yes, cause the Note II has LTE.
Where did you buy the phone from?

You need a LTE compatible sim card. That's why you got a new one.

Ill try to snap some. I got the invishield screen protector on there now, gives the screen a nice matte finish and reduces finger prints.

I am having a near IMPOSSIBLE time getting the contacts from my iphone to go into my gmail contacts though.

Yeah I had the same problem, Apples annoying closed system. Download a free app called MCBackup, it backs up all your contacts and emails them wherever you want, then go into your email on your Note and you can upload all the contacts with one click.

----------

I'm loving this phone so far except one thing, wanted to see if anyone else noticed it too. The earpiece seems to need to be "aimed", if it's not aimed just right you can't hear much out of it, kind of a contrast to my iphone where I can just put it somewhere close to my ear and not worry about it. Kind of reminds me of the old windows mobile phones which did the same thing.

Anyone else, or maybe I got a bad phone?

do you save the contacts on your phone or in icloud? If in iCloud you can delete iCloud from your phone and then keep the contacts on your phone. When you sign in with Google it will give you option to merge contacts...then will load them into gmail for you.

Login to iCloud, select all of your contacts, export them as VCFs and then import them all into your Google account. May have to clean up things here and there, but it should be pretty seamless.
