    Already had it a few days and its amazingly fast and has little bloat ware compared to the droids I have used

    Just curious who else has 1 and how the hell u carry it?

    I wear loose fitting clothes, so the phone isnt too bifg to fit, it just seems like in a front pocket its in danger of falling out when I get in or out of the truck.

    Back pocket....... yesh, not with a $700 phone.

    Cargo pockets.....then its slapping against my knee and I feel like john holmes.

    Held an empty Otter box in my hand and it seems massive. I have avg hands, a glock 21 feels perfect in my hands, glove size is typically xl to xxl.

    Ibe got 7 more days to make a decision on a case or take this back.

    Work isnt an issue. ...phones arent allowed. And no im not carrying a damn man purse lol!

    Ideas, opinions on the phone, apps, cases......pls comment.

    Btw, the burst mode on the camera aint bad, but using the camera fx app and their burst mode is much smoother imho.

    got it, just havent used it lately... I forget sometimes since its not my go to app.

    yeah, its pretty big..............u shoulda asked for an otterbox so u could see the brick it turns the phone into. I was shocked.

    I paid for the premium insurance for now..... u break it, lose it, stops working, or even if ya drop it in water, ur supposed to get a new 1 with only $150 deductable. Thats only 50 over the crap plan where u get refurbs and h2o damage isnt included on the cheaper plan iirc.

    Ive carried concealed with less bulk than this damn phone......but its soo bad ass. prolly overkill at quad core, but I wanted something overkill performance wise, and this is much better than the droid 3 I had.

    Ive been having mine for a couple of months now and love it. Everyone makes fun of how big it is but its no big deal. Ive gotten use to it being in my pocket even with the otterbox on it. I like the multi tasking and how fast it is for sure. Now when I hold a friends iphone im like how the hell do you do anything on something this small lol? Not bashing the iphone because ive had them and liked them and I also have an ipad but I think the speed and size of the screen make the phone much more enjoyable for me. But I still enjoy my apple stuff because of how user friendly it is

    agreed on the other phones all of the sudden feeling like toys.

    I picked up my droid 3 to use the interweb the other day and it was frustrating how slow it was and the tiny screen.

    like driving a truck for a long time and then hopping into a smart car.

    I have the Otterbox Commuter on mine. It's not as big as the Defender. I carry it in my back pocket.

    The defender is a beast. The commuter is just a little bigger than the phone. It doesn't have much in the way of screen protection. I believe the Defender has a clear plastic guard. The commuter is just a film.

    Are you talking about the multi tasking? Like texting on the bottom while surfing the web or watching a video on top?

    Love my note 2. Had it since day 1. Not too big at all; big is a subjective term defined by the user right? Whoever said phones should be 4 in or less? It fit in my pocket so I wasn't worried about it. I have the Seidio active case on it, has a kickstand. Phone charges wirelessly via qi induction. I seldom use the pen though.
