I have had absolutely no problems with the S Pen. In fact my wife is an Industrial Designer, and said that the Pen isnt too far behind her WACOM and programs she uses for work. slight lag, but nothing to lose sleep over. for me the S Pen is almost a novelty.

The reason I was soo critical about it is because I need it to take note in class and always have it with me when I need to study.
i dont think a phone/tablet/any electronic device could ever replace pen/paper when it comes down to class and taking notes...not even a laptop. our brains learn best when we write things out, not just type them up and to take tons of class notes on a 5.55" screen is just silly...anyway, my s-pen was initially too sensitive and would register screen taps at times when I would only be hovering. following a fix in some thread, I probably love my phone more than all my other devices combined :good:
Theres a known issue with the s-pen and magnets. Mine works great.

Guys - at the Sprint store the pen did not work for me AT ALL - the guys at the desk said "yeah, its not good - buy an iPhone 5 this thing sucks" - i bought it anyway, it works fine... CONFIRMING that at 3 stores I went to in order to find stock in Las Vegas, this was a problem and that with my device - no such problem.

While I do agree that paper and pen are the best, I actually saw a girl in my organic chemistry class who took all her notes on her iPad. She drew structures and wrote formulas with a cheap, standard capacitive stylus, typed out whatever she could type out, and took pictures of slides and a pasted them into her notes. I'm not sure what program she used, but it was quite impressive to say the least. Of course, I think it requires learning the programs inside and out and making sure you can use them efficiently.
I have a Nexus 7 and a Galaxy Note II and wouldn't use either one to replace a notebook and a good mechanical pencil. I'm also not motivated enough to try though either lol.
If you're gonna take notes, just do a Bluetooth keyboard... makes more sense.

I've been a long time iPhone user, since the first one, and I just bought a Galaxy s3 and can honestly say I don't miss it at all. The new one is just more of the same....
This is probably going to get locked down real fast.....but its definitely a BIG dissappointment. Some of my friends are turning into hypocrites real fast saying they'll buy it. Especially when they told me"I don't need a bigger screen, 3.5 is more than enough" this was when I had the x10, captivate, nexus s etc. iPhone users need to wake up.

Actually, what we really need would be Google Wallet support for our GS3's without the hack-around. But we know that wouldn't work with Apple since they're now Anti-Google. Forget where i saw it... think it was on the news earlier, but i like how they put it. Something along the lines of "There is so much competition between Apple and Google, that Apple decided to recreate the world." in regards to Apple's new maps system.

This.
Its almost impossible to get (cheap) nfc tags in Canada. I asked a Best Buy rep at the Eaton Centre store in Toronto a couple of days ago, and he had no idea what NFC was.
I was really hoping the new iphone would have it so that it would become 'mainstream', but guess we have to wait another year now. Also, doesn't help that stupid S Beam is incompatible with Android Beam (try transferring photos to any non-GS3 phone, it will fail..till we get updated to JellyBean)

i remember reading reviews almost 'ranting' about how light the galaxy s and galaxy s ii were. people were saying 'too light', 'does not feel premium because phone does not feel substantial in hand', 'iphone is perfect with high quality weight to it', 'sometimes not sure if in pocket or not'. something along those lines.
and i read this on a youtube comment but I think it could hold some truth. could Apple have not included nfc (even if it wanted to/why wouldn't they want to?), because it already finalized its aluminum design? fail.

No, My wife has had the Note 1 since it came out and people still ask her about it.
I love "the best phone I ever owned!" I am coming over from the Apple universe and although I am still learning my way around Android... I absolutely love this phone!
I moved up from an iphone 4s and just holding the iphone now makes me feel like I'm handling a baby mouse. I could NEVER go back to such a small screen. Honestly the Note 2 doesn't even look that big. I've already gotten used to the bump up in screen size. Problem is the market is saturated with "baby mice" and when a rat comes along they freak out.

Axtually I get this quite frequently since I use it like a mobile office. I visit aroud 6 to 8 different homes a day and the reaction is usually the same. I notice people studying it while I go threw documents and right about the time I whip out the s pen I hear "now that is to cool. What phone is that?" Or "What the heck?" . My tipical responce is "Oh this? This is my Gargantuphone! Its a Galaxy S III that ate a tablet , got on roids and squished an idevice in all the confusion. Samsung calls it the Note II.

Totally this. All the way lol.
First....I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this phone! Today was the first day in the 3 weeks that I've owned this phone that I've been able to get a low battery indicator. With my normal usage, I'm normally home and ready to charge with more than 30-40% left.
Now to my extra use for the s-pen. It works GREAT on those pesky levels of "Where's My Water". Those of you without kids may not find it useful but mine always want to see the next levels. Kinda feels like cheating knowing that the lines I'm able to draw are much tighter than with my fat fingers but that's the advantage of having the s-pen right?
P.S. also works well for kids playing Fruit Ninja too.....LOL
You should try it with apps like TouchRetouch and Afterfocus or photo retouching apps. It's awesome. The battery life make me smile every day.

I used mines with photo retouching within the first few days. It will be hard for me to ever go back to not having a s pen. If Samsung ever left android but still released phones on this level I'd probably follow them out the door to where ever they were headed.

Samsung from the old days could be declared a different company. They have changed a lot in the past few years for the better. Android isn't the only area. Remember how awful the moment was? The gps issues of the galaxy s series one and two. The ssds, the ram, the tvs, Samsung is moving up and is probably a large part as to why Android is doing so well.

I hope their new partners serves them well. They are burning a bridge with Samsung. Look for even more bugs with the next Apple devices and even more customers buying them despite the increase of bugs.
Getting even more off topic. I actually support Apple to the extent of understanding that in order to have great things we need competition. I really hope windows 8 steps up their game and the new nokia company gains success. Would love to see htc and Motorola get their acts together and turn a profit. Let us all stop fighting and get on with the innovation. Looking forward to seeing the note 3 being a even greater device that will largely depend on how the competition is doing.
A huge add blocks the source so I can't see it. Looks like I'm going to have to install a add blocker even though I like supporting websites.

I guess I'm just fortunate I never have these issues....how did you purchase in store. ...yet its later outside the store you notice something you SHOULD have noticed at time of purchase.............doesn't everyone inspect their device prior to paying and leaving.

bipoler: Sometimes new gadget owners fall victim to the so-called Gollum syndrome: their eyes enlarge, their skintone dulls and greys out, and their cognitive functions are diminished. It can last from a few minutes to a few days, and only the worse failures can stop the symptoms quickly, more subtle defects take longer.

I got the Note 2 for use with note taking so I use mine every day.
Other than that, I take it out to mess around with and tag pictures. I also do a lot of support for Android devices so the screenshot feature + tagging with the S-Pen makes my life so much easier.
There aren't enough worthwhile apps to really take full use of the S-Pen that don't have to do with notes or drawing.
There are some "games" that support stylus use. Maybe you can use that.
Either way, you still have a great device. Biggest screen and faster processor than most phones out there.

I make my shopping lists with SNote and use the pen to scratch off items as I put them in the cart. I also use the Square card reader to accept charge cards, and the pen works better than a finger for signing.

I mostly only use it when I'm texting. The S pen with a "gesture" keyboard like swype is way faster than typing any other way once you get good at it.
I use as a mouse when Web surfing.. Especially those drop down for a drop down menu
Jotting down little notes when out and about (the biggest use I get out of it) it's been many of times I needed to write down something and didn't have a pen, paper, nothing in sight
-TeaM VeNuM Like A Boss
-Galaxy Note II Edition
Fairly often. I like that I can sign PDFs using the S Pen.
I used to use it much more than I do now that we have a Samsung Keyboard Autocorrect hack that works in S-Notes. I can honestly thumb-type faster than I can hand-write and all the text is searchable. It is good for scrawling down the occasional phone number on the fly but the autocorrect is amazingly accurate. However if I were a student or in a meeting I would hand-write much more so as not to annoy everyone around me with frantic typing.
You can get the autocorrect baked in with a rom like Whompasaurus Rom V2.7 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2039564).
I do use the pen quite often as a pointer though. Nice for clicking tiny links or web surfing without smudging the screen.
I am looking forward to the Note 8.0. It should be just the right size for hand-writing and thumb-typing.
** Even though I no longer use it much, I like that fact that it is THERE if I need it. It's like having a car that can go zero to 60 in 4 seconds. 99% of the time you don't need the power but when you didn't see that semi in your blindspot and you need to get out of the way you are glad it's there.

All the time. I use it more than I use my fingers. Navigation, swype, drawing, photo editing. Plus I hate smudges and using the s-pen minimizes that

I guess the key thing about the pen is it just adds and extra layer of functionality to your smart phone. It makes your smart phone smarter.

When I first got my Note2 I thought I would never use it, like it was a novelty. Your exactly right it makes this 5.5 inch beauty smaller and makes my job a lot easier and fun lol
