Pros: This phone is simply incredible, I have yet to see it stutter or lag. The camera is amazing and it takes the best pictures I have ever seen on a camera phone. The screen has intensely bright colors due to the OLED tech used, and it shows when playing games and looking at pictures. This phone has power, so much power in fact, I have never had to turn a games graphics down due to frame rate drop. The Wacom pen is accurate and it is really good for drawing. It is a little less sensitive near the edges but that has never been a problem. Also, the battery last so long I have not had to worry about it running out during the day, plus if it did somehow run out you could just put in a freshly charged one.
Cons: I have yet to find anything with NFC so I have no way to test this. Only real con is the chance of getting an early production note with the defective memory chip. Which is the cause of some one star reviews here. This chip is the cause of the note phones shutting off and not turning back on, though if you get a model that is recently made you need not worry about this, and it is very easy to test for. Also, after reading on the internet I have scared myself over the OLED screen burn in problems.
Other Thoughts: If you can afford the high price premium and you think you can handle a phone this large, go for it! It is great.

Rating: 5/5Greatest phone I've ever owned
Pros: Size Great sound quality Volume is able to be turned very high Very, very robust It works aggressively to save battery life NFC, S-beam See other device details under the details tab (they're very pro :) )
Cons: No 1700MHz band, but t-mobile is currently switching this over to the more popular 1900MHz band anyway and they are about to destroy the AT&T competition (or force them to reasonably compete, yay)
Other Thoughts: Waiting for Google to jump into the cellular service providing arena. I'd switch to GMobile instantly :)

Rating: 1/5Galaxy Note II Dead WIFI
Pros: I bought an international version from Newegg 4 months ago, and now the WIFI is dead. It only works when you are three feet away from a wireless router.
The "international" version Newegg sold me was from India. I tried to get support for Samsung USA and they said contact Samsung India. I contact Samsung India and they say contact Samsung USA because you are in USA. Neither wants to help me. This seems a bit unfair for Newegg to do this. Can someone please help?
Cons: Wifi will die in 4 months. Beware you cannot get warranty support if you live in the USA because your product is from another country.

Rating: 5/5The best phone ive ever got!!
Pros: -Delivery was so fast! -Product received in it's original box with all accesories. -Product is 100% original -This was the best price on market when I made the purchase. -The phone is extremely FAST with 4 cores processor. 2 GB Ram, graphics are amazing. The size is big, but still enough for carrying on the pocket. -Materials are so fancy and shiny. -The S-Pen is great with shortcuts to quick notes. Recognizes pressure intensity which is great!
Cons: Nothing yet.
Other Thoughts: I really recommend buying this product from Newegg.com. This was my first purchase with them, and I got 100% satisfied.

Rating: 4/5super phone but faulty wifi chip
Pros: it is a great phone from the size, to the battery life, to the speed and clarity and all options. i love it
Cons: it would have been a 5, if not that for some reason i cant connect to wifi and this seems to be a common problem with this phone. even in my home, public hotspots keeps saying authentication error or its connected but no internet just different problem all round and since its an international version it is a hassle to send to uk because samsung america won't help you just because of that so manage your wireless data. google it you would see and i have tried every suggested solution even factory reset no help and dis happened 2 days after r30days return period so no help from new egg
Other Thoughts: all in all i love it would have given it a 5 if not for the common problem it has with the faulty wifi

Rating: 1/5Plastic toy
Pros: Smooth like most other Android 4.1(Jelly bean) devices.
Cons: Get something else if you are those who cares about the quality of things you hold in your hands, this is wayyyyyy too much plastic. After the update it became unstable, even after factory reset.

Rating: 1/5It died after 4 months
Pros: It was great until it lasted.
Cons: It just died on me. I live in Brazil and got it here at Newegg. I don't know if Samsung is going to fix it for me under the warranty. I hope so. Everything is difficult here in Brazil. It may take forever and if I have to ship it to the US I may need to pay 60% taxes if they ship it back to me. This sucks.
Other Thoughts: I can't wait until the S4 is released. I hope it doesn't have the sudden death problem.

Rating: 5/5Fantastic phone
Pros: Huge display, Huge battery, sd card slot, will actually be updated, s pen, vivid colors, nice software tweaks
Cons: Some samsung stuff can get a little in your face, especially the first time you use a feature. There will be tons of pop ups telling you how to use the feature. Some don't like how touchwiz (samsung's custom version of android) looks but this can EASILY be fixed by using a different launcher. I prefer nova launcher to get the pure android look and the customization.
Other Thoughts: This phone is fantastic. You might think that the size is just too large to even be useful but once you spend more then a day with it you don't notice how huge it is. I picked up my friends iphone I laughed out loud, It was just so small I couldn't take it seriously it is even difficult for me to look at it and read it! One thing that manufacturers seem to be disregarding is that people need phone storage, not all of us have unlimited mobile data to stream everything. So I went and picked up a 64 gb class 10 memory card and I haven't looked back since it is amazing. I haven't even come close to filling either the internal or external storage.
