KA7EII's review of the Samsung Galaxy Note II (Verizon)

Perfect for my needs!
This is my third smartphone after owning a Palm Treo 700 and a Motorola Droid 2. My wife and I were thinking of getting an Android tablet but after seeing the Galaxy Note II I decided to give it a try. I made no mistake in my decision! Everything about this phone is close to perfect. Call quality is excellent (Verizon Wireless in the Salt Lake City, UT area), the camera takes stunning photos and the screen is large enough to enjoy Google Talk video chats and enjoy watching shows on Netflix. The Android 4.1.1 firmware has been stable - no problems in the two weeks I have owned this phone.
My favorite pros:
Screen size - Just love the big screen.
Battery life - I can get an honest 16 hours of moderate to heavy use on a full charge and still have power to spare.
Call quality - Excellent so far.
Nice camera - Been pleased by the quality of photos that I have taken with this phone. Camera is fairly quick - very little "shutter lag".
ISIS ready - works great here in Salt Lake City. (wish there were more places set up to accept ISIS payments)
Handles 64gb micro SD cards.
S pen. Haven't explored all the functions yet but I like being able to "write" on the backs of photos that I have taken.
My only con so far:
Phone is a bit slippery - sometimes afraid of dropping it.
I got the white phone and the titanium grey cover. Looks nice. I like being able to talk on the phone with the cover closed. As for the phone being a bit slippery, I found some rubbery stickers in the kids section of the grocery store. Put a few on the back and now I have a really good grip on my phone.
Yes, the phone is big but it serves my needs very well. Out of the box, it has about 10g of internal memory which seems a bit small but my apps are only using about 1g of memory and all photos, music etc are stored on my SD card.
Overall, I am very happy with my Samsung Galaxy Note II.
