right, apparently everything samsung releases is the next big thing. It was a clever marketing ploy, now it's just getting old.

although I will say this is an extremely attractive device to me.

It's like Apple saying "The best iPhone yet". No sh*t it's the best iPhone yet, or in this case the next big thing. WHAT DID YOU THINK, A NEW PHONE IS NOT AS GOOD AS THE LAST??

just look at it from the stand point that they are being literal. 5.5" screen, that is big!

Right! Might want to go with "The biggest thing is here"!

This is my top contender for my upgrade in April or HTC's 5inch phone depending on if it has a stylus similar to the note. But also I am interested in the lumia camera since I travel a lot for work and sometimes get to sight see so I just use my phone for pics.

I'd Like to see Side BySide with SIII

Does anyone know if any side by side pics are available with these 2 phones?

Let me Google that for you

Will you buy a Samsung Galaxy S3 now or wait for Note 2 or iPhone 5?

They're a bit behind oppo. Oppo find 5 has a freakin' full HD 1080p screen. That's right, 1080x1920 screen on a 5' phablet.

I'd personally love to have either though, since they're both really high spec.

Breakfast beats worrying.

Its 1920 x 1080 however its not the resolution so much as the screens ppi, a 720p screen with a higher ppi will look cleaner and sharper than a 1080p screen at a lower ppi.

with that small battery and no prior experience... no thanks

the note 2 is the most advanced and has the most features of any phablet

its all about if u can deal with its large size.. that has its benefits of the huge screen

a "phone" that big I might think twice... but with the advanced s-pen and bigger battery its an easy decision for me
