” I don’t care if you like large screens on mobile devices, I don’t care if you love Android, and I don’t care if you love 4G LTE”.

basically your’re saying you don’t like it cause its not an iphone.

This give me the impression your probably under 6’0″ with little hands. Me being at 6’4″ and having huge hands be nice to have a phone don’t cause my fingers to crap while trying to hold it.

I have to agree. I normally can’t stand Android but I find the Galaxy Nexus to be one of the best Android devices and a step in the right direction but this device is incredibly ugly, tacky and way to massive to be taken serious. Oh well to each their own in the end.

This is quite shallow and pedantic.

This is the great thing about Android, you can get a phone in any size you want. You’re not stuck to whatever Apple tells you is the right size for you.

you never leave home without your phone? congrats. neither does anyone else

Matthew Urso You have no idea how many I carry around

why do they have to? Seriously, I not trying to start anything, just looking for an answer.

Marcus Walker because bias influences objectivity. If they aren’t objective in the review they’ll tend to cover only phones that fit their ‘formula’.

What bias? It is a ridiculously big phone that has no place as a phone or a tablet. It’s just big to be big. There’s no real reason behind it other than the shock and awe factor of being big, not smart. And being biased is what created android. They knew apple was the standard and they have modeled their entire company to emulate and compete with apple. That’s just the facts kudos to them for being smart for copying them. But it’s not smart to release a phone on a gimmick. This phone made for Shaquille o’neal and his 7 foot brethren. That’s about it.

Danny Ayers Why not just a review about the phone and listing it’s pros and cons, whether or not one out weighed the other? I think that’s the professional way of taking this, not this blatant bias dribble.

Y’know – some people actually do like taking notes by writing instead of typing. Cust Kayin’

Opinions differ.
Small tablet with phone capability, great for note taking and annotating.

Rhonin Dk Agree I would rather have this in meeting being 6’2 250 and pocket it, and take notes with it, than my laptop or any 10′ inch tablet, android or ios

And basically useless. It’s too big? What a freakin’ crock. Jonathan just a narrow-minded idiot.

Adam Reid Ok, point taken about the 1″ differential.

But again, the main gripe here is that it is too big to hold with one hand? So, is that the “standard” to use a cellphone? Or maybe Samsung is doing it this way so Apple doesn’t sue them because actually devices being able to held with one hand, Cupertino holds a patent on?

What about folks that aren’t sure if they want a tablet, or a cellphone? In a sense, they get both with this. This is an untapped market. Sure some may argue it will fail, but hell – so long as it bring the hardware to play with the big boys, “they will come”.

No, the entire front assembly is mirrored to an iPhone 4. The way it’s constructed and laminated together.

Jonathan S. Geller so it looks like every slate phone singe the LG prada?

Jonathan S. Geller Hint: The iPhone uses Samsung components. Why wouldn’t they be similar in some way??

Opinion is opinion, so shut up.

John Fischetti – Geller is a fanboy because he affirmed a commonly held opinion that a 5+ inch phone is too big? Despite the fact that he has said often that the Galaxy Nexus is his favorite phone.

John you are dumb and that girl in the picture with you is ugly.

How come majority of those called “Jonathan” behave like fools, one thing is sure, Apple is busy working with people like Jonathan Geller to put Samsung down – but time will tell if indeed Samsung has come to lead in the mobile world.

Apple is working on a new phablet that’s bigger than Note!

Jacob Penderworth Opinion? Is this a blog? I thought this was a website surrounded about giving general ‘news’ about the mobile industry… some news this article is.

Nathan Freeman — a commonly held opinion by whom might I ask? a world class douchebag like yourself? way to stay classy… your wife must be soo proud to be married to a douche like you.

But wait, he also said that he didn’t like the iPhone because he likes some features of the BlackBerry OS. Why don’t you just stop talking now?

Jacob Penderworth No, he’s only written about 5+ articles about how Apple is the best company ever and the iPhone is ‘overall’ superior.

Juan Gomez Well that’s nice to hear, but I was merely pointing out the ONE article that he did not take the iPhone’s side on.

really? look @ the picture above

Jacob Penderworth If you honestly don’t think iBGR is full of Apple fanboys you have to have some sort of brain disease.

Jacob Penderworth you are a troll who hides behind his monitor who would never talk to anyone in real life like that because you would be beaten daily

Jacob Penderworth you are full of shit.

Jacob Penderworth you are full of shit.

Jacob Penderworth You can’t completely mark the Note as a useless device when the sales figures are so positive. It’s obviously opinionated BS.

Wow? Are you a hater all the time or just part time? Now you’re bitchin about phone size even after Mr. Gellar says this phone is just ridiculous? You’re ridiculous.

Aj Pierre-louis I think what Jacob was trying to say was that with Android you have choice. Currently, with Apple, there is no choice in device size. That will probably change with the next iteration of the iPhone however.

Aj Pierre-louis So, we should only buy what Mr Gellar told us? Mr Gellar said iPhone is the best, so let us go and buy iPhone

Almon Poole aren’t they always doing that? Just a few steps behind android.

So basically, you and Mr. Geller are seriously unhappy because you feel that your precious iPhone is being threatened by a better product, with a better, more organized company behind it with a faster, better production process?! I am so sorry! Here, let me give you a bowl of Cheerios and milk to cry over! Truth is, the iPhone is an amazing product. It is more than holding it’s own in market share. Apple needs to stop with all of the lawsuits and just concentrate on competing, instead of trying to ruin everyone else’s party so that they feel better about themselves!!

How is that for a useless rant? LOL

Tony Lopez “while its hardware gets older by two years.” That’s an outright lie, and you and all of the people liking your comment are either imbeciles or jackasses.

Exactly.
Infact Jon Rettinger at Techno Buffalo used this phone for a MONTH (as opposed to a DAY) and he has the complete opposite opinion. He says he’s never gotten more interest in any other phone from people. So there goes the theory on what people may think.

Only Apple fan boys would be worried about personal image and being ridiculed over…………….a freaking electronic device. Yeah, I’m looking at you Gellar.

Mohsin Shabbir Just wait till the 10.1 inch one comes out. That will be even better.

Jon Hallstein They said the same thing about the Dell Streak, the only downfall of that monster was the dated OS, other than that, I got big hands, so I can handle such a monster, I know Gellars mother can, LOL

Joakim Skog, not only am I willing to talk come mid-December, I already have several bets in place coming due around then. Joakim, with all due respect, REALLY READ people’s reactions (the ones who actually own this device); and the prediction is a no brainer. Then factor in the obvious path of people not wanting to carry, own or, most importantly, PAY for all these separate devices (tabs, phones, etc.) and, again, it becomes a no brainer. And, as I said, even Apple knows this; and is DESPERATELY trying to get the Nexus and Note from not entering the US market. Just Google “Apple Injunction Galaxy Nexus.” They got caught in their own greed about separate sales on form factor (because they wanted the billions in profits from separate sales), and now they are trying to use all of their power and money to prevent the “market-share ass kicking” they’re about to receive. I’ll take your bet and DOUBLE IT if you like! LOL.

Indeed. I’m already rushing out to get this…

Sooooo…. why keep coming back to read? Not throwing you under a bus, just curious is all.

Jasen Master I’m 200lbs + and would look ridiculous in a Smart car, should we call it absurd and mock anyone driving one?

Kiana Sullivan So you only look ridiculous if the marketing calls it a phone, but if they just call it a small tablet, it will magically not look ridiculous? I personally prefer iPhone’s size for most things, but I’m just amazed at people needing to warn everyone. “Don’t buy this, it’s too big!”. Who the hell would buy an expensive smartphone without seeing it beforehand, and deciding if they prefer a large screen on a more cumbersome device because of what they use their devices for?
