If you mean "who would go to the Gulf of Mexico", I can think of one person...
Just did a quick check of your three main networks. Seems Sprint is the cheapest? I assume their network is a bit crappy though...
it is getting better and their customer service is second to none

Nope, just a play on words.

I pay £12.50 (~$20) a month for 300 mins / unltd. texts / 3GB data on T-Mobile 3G.
American cell phone costs are ridiculous!!!
[edit] Also, don't get me started on how your sales tax is "ninja-added" at the checkout
Yeah read that we're paying ten times what most Europeans are for phone service. American carriers think consumers are nothing but walking sacks of money to them. It really sucks.

Sprint isn't horrible, their biggest drawback at the moment is that their LTE network isn't fully deployed (yet they charge an extra $10 per month per line for 4G, even if 4G isn't in your area). But their network has been getting better and call quality is good. Their 3G network seems fairly robust but like any carrier that depends on where you are. Still you at least get unlimited data for the same price other carriers charge for a few Gigabytes. So you get more for your dollar even with the extra charges.
does gasoline in your country make your cars go faster? lol

Unfortunately it's been said many, many times that upgrading at the subsidized price will cause you to lose unlimited data.Even though all my WireFly info said I would be keeping my plan I did get bumped off unlimited to 2GB
On the bright side I guess I can do any tethering I want now. Man, I do love this phone and ICS!
Actually, I think the fuel we get in Europe is slightly higher RON than what you guys get... so potentially, yes it does

I just came back from T-Mobile store where I had an extensive opportunity to play with the Note 2 and here are some impressions from someone who is (was) very close to pulling the trigger on a Razr HD Maxx. I was positively surprised at the size of the Note. My biggest fear was that I would find it too big. I'm a guy of average height with no more than medium sized hands and had no problems holding it although I have to mention that I tend to use both hands when typing or surfing on a phone. The size of the phone did not make it feel weird using when it to make calls either. I usually keep my phone in my shirt pocket and it easily fit there without looking too big at all. I also tried it in a front pocket of my pants and it didn't feel any more noticeable there than my current Droid. I'm very surprised to say that for me size is now a non issue for me.
The screen absolutely blew me away. I cannot recall ever seeing a screen on any phone that was as impressive to look at from the standpoint of clarity, brightness and colors. I like the screen on the Razr HD Maxx but with one reservation, that being that when looking at text with a white background, even at maximum brightness, the white is not true white - it is even less bright white than on an older Droid. That is not the case on the Note 2. The screen is fantastic. I also tried typing on it and found the larger screen definitely made it easier to type and improved the accuracy of my typing. Web pages I viewed on the Note were much more pleasant to view. I also found the stylus easy to use and definitely useful although it might take the rest of my life to learn how to use all of the functions of this phone.
I'm very happy with Moto and have had a series of Droids all of which had great radios and zero problems. I was definitely planning to buy the Razr HD Maxx until seeing the Note 2. For me it now boils down to whether or not the Note will have an unlocked GSM radio like the Razrs do. I often travel abroad and need the ability to pull out the Verizon sim when out of the country and pop in a local sim card. If I can do that on the Note 2 I'm definitely buying it. If I can't I'll be buying the Razr.
One final observation. I have found the Motos to be very solidly built and every one I have had has survived a few accidental drops with no problem whatsoever. As a result I have never paid for insurance on one and will not if I end up buying the Razr HD Maxx. After seeing the Note 2, I would not buy that one without insurance. It does not seems as solid and that huge glass screen scares me into protecting it with insurance if I buy one.

The original Note felt too big for me, but it's hard to simulate the way I use it in everyday situations. I do a lot of stuff with one hand though and I think the Note 2 wouldn't suit all of my needs. I am curious about the upcoming HTC Incredible X, or whatever, with the 5 inch screen. That way it'll be large enough but be a little smaller than the Note 2.
But even then, I'd rather go with the Razr HD and save my other exploits for a full on tablet.
