Now I know why people buy IPhones:), they read reviews of a truck and think that they can put wheels to their phone and drive it. They read reviews of a plane, they think they can stick wings and their phones will fly.

Get Real dude!!!

guys, the S-Pen is not just a stylus... its far better than that... stylus can not interact with the phone... spen has lot of interactions... be sure to compare objectively guys before trolling and saying something about S-Pen vs stylus... many of you here are dumb...

OMG..! tell me.. how can a person compare this phone with an iphone? I read every single page. Not to compare.. apple not even closer to this.. not even next year..

Sorry, this is the best phone out there. What does the lumia have over this, except the camera?

Glad to have one more hover-enabled touchscreen. If there are enough such device out there, we can start building apps with hover/roll_over/mouse_over functions to add some degree of interactivity. Or we can expect this functionality to be supported natively by the OS.

But is the hover function limited to the S Pen? I mean, can you hover it with your finger too?

As always, a fantastic, fantastic, fantastic review by Gsmarena. Great work guys! Having read almost all Note II reviews by other tech sites, this is the most through, balanced and fair - hands down. Indeed, I now want to get my hands on one. Thank you Gsmarena!

what would you choose?
