Ok and i text about 10 people with iMessage and i know plenty of friends who have iPhones that use iMessage, espcially girls

But why would Samsung do that? That is a crucial feature in my eyes and as history tells it, the US Note 2 wont be getting a update for a while

but keep in mind, unlocked version doesn't have 4g
Wow. I just played with the note 2. One word. IMPRESSED.
I could use it with one hand one fine. I was so surprised. And the hand writing recognition with the s pen was amazing especially with my terrible hand writing.
I was a huge doubter of such a huge device but I really think I could get used to it. I could use the s pen to take notes it my work meetings and at church.
It's fast as hell and super smooth. It is now in the running for my next phone and I can't believe it.

I thought all Note 2's shipped with this feature on stock? I've had it out of the box, but I have the European version.

And when you come back and try again, probably best to not mention mens bulges. Makes you look creepy.
Very in depth review and comparison here ...... http://www.heelsandtech.com/2012/10/23/galaxy-note-2-review-note-1-comparison/
That's exactly what I use to think as well.
I bought the first gen note and now I will get the second version.
It really is an impressive piece of hardware.
This reviewer can definitely teach other tech reviewers a thing or two about doing reviews. Engadget, The Verge? Take note.
Picking up a GN2 in a month. Gonna keep my GS3 for flashing custom ROMs. If you can deal with the size, there's nothing that even comes close to this feature PACKED device.
Yes. She is awesome. By far, the most detailed and easiest to understand reviewer. Plus, she presents things from a non-fanboy perspective. Obviously, both Android and iOS have their plusses and minuses; she presents the facts and let's you decide.
Not since the original iPhone, have I been as excited to get a smartphone.
Multi Window wasnt available at launch on the international version either. It came a few weeks later via an OTA update. Will probably happen with the US version too once all carriers have released it.
Does the Note 2 come with a man purse?
Seriously, it's just too big for one handed operation. It also barely fits in the front pocket without having to worry about it falling out. If your a stationary person who only sits at home and sits at work, then it might be for you.
You make a good point, but I do think that also, someone travelling a lot or commuting a lot can see the usage of it.
If you have a work laptop, you can bring on your Note to use as a PA, with a lot of features. It makes sense in my mind
...Note: I'm a BB user, one of these 'poor' fellas as the NYT so elegantly put a few weeks back

Both are in separate leagues IMO. both have very similar specs, but one is a phablet and ones is a normal phone.
It's personal preference really, but in terms of value for your money, the Nexus 4 is the winner.
With the new features of Android 4.2, my decision is 100% made. Nexus 4. Who knows when you would get an update to 4.2 on the Note 2. 3-6 months? No thanks. The note 2 is really nice hardware though besides the plasticky feel...
The Nexus doesnt have LTE which is just absurd for a new, premium phone. Note 2 and by a mile.
