Anyone here using one of these? The only potential issue is that the LTE North American version is using a snapdragon instead of the better Exynos cpu (oh and I guess the size that I'm willing to live with).

idea of having a stylus to jot down notes in meetings seems like a plus for me as well, and I'm sure books are a bit easier to read on it than my iphone.

I've used one briefly, the stylus works pretty well actually. It is pretty massive though Razz

yeah, they replaced a good current cpu for one that's over a year old because of LTE compatibility which I really don't care about anyways Sad

gonna wait for reviews to start coming in on the N.America version before I decide... just don't know if i want to wait for the SGIII or HTC Edge...

i think you'll find since the first release drivers the newer snapdragons have come on by far,

from what I understand the snapdragon is a late-2010 processor vs. the Exynos which is a late 2011 model which is leaps and bounds ahead.

I guess the alternative is just getting the galaxy nexus instead. the difference is $160 for the nexus vs. $250 for the note (on contract which is fine)

^^ Well I think I've made up my mind to wait for the SGSIII instead .. will only be maybe 4-6 months and I can make do with my ip4 in the meantime.
