The pen is mightier than your sausage fingers There is a camera on the back, with an LED flash, and on the front is another, video-conference-type camera. Here you can add capacities of up to 64GB - which is quite a lot of storage for a phone. Under the battery cover you'll find the, erm, battery, along with the micro-SIM card slot, and the microSD card. The top has the headphone jack, while the bottom holds the USB socket for charging and data transfer. In terms of style, there's a power button on the right-hand side, with volume controls on the left. It's a bit heavier though, which might bother some, but it has a nice weight, and a great overall balance. So while the Note is hard to use single-handed, it's not any more difficult than any other Android phone. As Apple points out, there is a ratio that allows for single-handed use, and most modern Android phones ignore it. Strangely, it's not really any harder to use with one hand than a phone such as the Samsung Galaxy S III. It will fit in your jeans pocket, assuming your jeans aren't too tight, and you won't really notice its extra weight. We've been asked a lot about the size, and honestly, it's not a problem.

We've travelled around a fair bit with the Note. And the size isn't much of an issue, as we discovered. In our view, that's a mistake, because this phone has a lot to offer besides its size. Most people will take one look at the size - it dwarfs the already massive Galaxy S III - and rule it out as being impractical.

This is a phone you have to live with to truly understand. People who haven't used a Galaxy Note - the original, or this new model - won't get it. It sits in a space that doesn't exist, with an unknown audience. A massive phone, or really small 3G tablet.

The Note, you see, is a bit of an enigma. What wasn't predictable was how we would feel about this new handset. (Pocket-lint) - The Galaxy Note 2 is the successor to the, erm, Galaxy Note, which is predictable.
