Now things are beginning to really get ridiculous. OK, so I personally have a Note 2 with its 5.5 inch screen and I think that's more than plenty. It is hard enough to hold it and operate it with one hand as it is with its massive 5.5 inch screen, but 6.3 inches? I don't think so. Enough is enough. How big is too big for a phone Samsung? Really?

The amazing thing is that there will be a lot of people out there that will buy it.

What do you guys think?

some wouldn't mind a 7" phone. If you must pack around a tablet around might as well be one with a cell phone in so its one less thing to have to pack around. If this model is too big for someone, a person always has the choice not to buy it. I "not buy" things i don't like everyday.

I have Note 2 as well.. But everyone is entitled to their preferences for the phone/tablet sizes and features.

I am interested in Note 3 ... I don't care about the size ... it fits in my pocket of my jacket, no problem. I have iPad 2 which I have to carry to places... Note 2 fits perfectly in my pocket and nothing to carry.. Plus Note has cell coverage in case you are in the restuarant or some places that do not have wireless hook up yet, for exanple: Texas Roadhouse.

They can increase the display size without increasing the body size.

Look at what Sony just did: the Xperia ZL has a 5" display and it is smaller than a Galaxy S3 (4.8"), Lumia 920 (4.5") and the Nexus 4 (4.7"). You just need good design and hardware engineers. Unfortunately for Samsung they are lacking in both areas.

I see people using the note and it looks ridiculous. Even on guys that are huge and have sausage fingers. 6+ inches is just silly.

Have you ever used one? Have you ever held one in your hand and actually use it? If you haven't, try it. Believe me, as a former iPhone user, once you hold a Note 2 on your hands and use it, you will never want another smaller phone again.

I went from an S3 to an i5 no problem!

The iPhone 5 is a fine piece of hardware, no doubt, but the fact is the Note 2 can do more.

1. Micro SD card slot

2. Very long lasting and exchangeable battery

3. Very customizable UI

4. Much better multitasking

5. Multiview Screen

Five things that may not be important to some, but are very important to others when buying a phone.

    • According to Microsoft, Cause: One of the drivers controlling the device notified the operating system that the device failed in some manner.   https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/error-codes-in-device-manager-in-windows-524e9e89-4dee-8883-0afa-6bca0456324e
    • This looks awesome, I will request access via Steam later this afternoon!
    • Personally, I’ve found that it’s usually worth investing in the infrastructure you don’t want to replace later, especially cabling. Running Cat6A (or better, depending on your needs) during an upgrade is relatively inexpensive compared to having to re-cable a few years down the road. For switches I try to balance current specs with realistic growth. If my budget allows it Ill choose switches with higher uplink speeds which leaves room for expanding later on, but I don’t necessarily overspend on access ports if the endpoints won’t benefit from them anytime soon. One lesson I’ve learned is that planning for scalability pays off. It’s much easier to add devices, VLANs, or higher-bandwidth workloads when your network infrastructure already supports it than to replace hardware later.  What is your budget like?
    • I hate the term, "future-proof." We saw it back in the 90's / 2000's, if not before. You cannot future-proof anything, since there is no definition of how far into the future you plan on prepping for. Best idea is to tell us what you currently have and what its use is at the moment, and we can then offer ideas about some areas that might need an upgrade and other areas that can be left alone.
    • I can agree that it is being used in a small capacity. I worked for a company where their engineers still used XP, and when asked why it was because their sensor software wasn't compatible with newer operating systems and the software was discontinued so they couldn't upgrade the software. Given that the sensors were still in use by companies, they had to continue using XP to support the sensor, otherwise the price to the company would have gone into the millions or billions. Our response was simple: Ok, you can keep the XP machine. But we're removing it from the network. "But then it can't access the Internet or folder shares!" Yup, kinda the point. If someone wants to continue using an unsecure OS they can do, I have no problem with that. But it should be isolated. Simple. I had a fight with a guy in the engineering department for weeks before he finally relented. But we digress.   What do I plan on doing to commemorate the anniversary? Nothing. I have fond memories of the OS, but at the end of the day it's just an OS. If I had some time I might see if I could install it on my Raspberry Pi for a laugh. But my reflex memory with today's OS ideas would probably get me frustrated and I'd uninstall it after 5 mins.
