Just recently I had replace my old Samsung S3. Its last encounter with the ground left him in a way that only a second screen replacement would fix.

The decision was made, I also wanted to change carrier so I went to for it.

Second decision to make: Phone, Phablet or Phone + Tablet?

I wanted to buy a tablet but the idea of carrying one more gadget didn't please me.
I was already carrying my Ultrabook everywhere (which I actually use as a full featured dev machine) + the phone... adding a tablet was useless. I needed something I could use to read the news and eMagazines properly but a tablet was overkill.
So at the end and after a long thinking period... I went for a Samsung Note 3.

The good
- Although it's big it sill fit in all my pockets.
- I read a lot, mostly technical stuff, mostly from books or on my Kindle but now I can read on my phone directly not only the books but the news and eMagazines. No zooming and other gymnastics required Smile | :)
- The stylus works great. After a few practice sessions I actually manage to take my meeting notes directly there.
- It's light. It's big but it's not an heavy device.
- The battery lasts an amazingly amount of time (kind of doubles the S3)
- All the other performance greatness of any edge device.

The bad
It's just not fit for sports... barable for running (in a pocket), ok for biking but impossible (at least for me) for skiing.


I didn't want to give a Phone review here but I still remember thinking:
"why anyone ever buy a phone this big?"
Well... these were my reasons and I don't regret it Smile | :)

Cheers!
