Thanks!!

[petrasco555]

Why don t you buy yourself a simple phone.....like Nokia 3310!! Asshole!!

5.3 inches leeds to biger size of phone!!!

[NZtechfreak]

@petrasco555 Wow, you come in here and post that and yet I'm the *expletive deleted*? I think anyone reading your post will know which one of us deserves that moniker.

[RoBiiNSWE]

@petrasco555 Lol tourettes?

[awesomecraftication]

every time you compare it too the S2 the S2 looks tiny but then i remember the S2 is still bigger then my onmia 7

[NZtechfreak]

@awesomecraftication No getting around the fact that the Note is one enormous phone!

[insainllama]

Most girls don't even put there phones fully in their pocket anyway

[NZtechfreak]

@insainllama True.

[JSantana319]

@insainllama Most girls' pockets are their ears because they're always on the freaking phone, LOL

[KillboyRUS]

RATM 4 LIFE

[NZtechfreak]

@KillboyRUS Yup!

[Mandeepsinghmakker]

gr8

[Hermentotip]

OMG ridiculously oversized phone lol... laughed my ass off in the part where you try to stick it into your chest pocket hahahaha

WTF Samsung?? :P

[jazazzaza]

damn hipsters! haha

[RailgunNZ]

Can you try this phone anywhere in NZ? telecom and vodafone don't seem to want to sell such a great device.

[NZtechfreak]

@RailgunNZ Apparently Vodafone are releasing this and the Galaxy Nexus soon. Up until then your best bet would be at a parallel importer. Where do you live?

[RailgunNZ]

Anywhere in NZ you can try this phone? telecom and vodafone don't seem to be selling this phone.

[factory955]

2 things i regret that i shouldve done sooner in auckland. 1 is L&P, 1 is unitec pies! until the last year before my leave i found out ablout L&P and unitec beef pie.

[factory955]

go kiwis! ahhh i miss the accent! i miss auckland! i miss unitec! (unitec meat pies are the best in the world! beef pie, chicken mushroom pie, etc).

[NZtechfreak]

@factory955 :) Must head to Unitec to try one then!

[stlallstar]

The 21 dislikes are Lil Wayne and his friends.....they ALL wear skinny jeans! LOL!!

[D3AtH19]

@NZtechfreak now i have to find XXB4XX comment

[BlackSadCat]

2:35 hidding ur bulge

[TwistedFuture206]

"men that wear hipster jeans have bigger problems then trying to pocket their note." lol this is awesome!

[mostafaoraby007]

@TwistedFuture206 Fucking Hilarious!!!!!! :D

[alexandrabutiri2000]

What if u have a small pocket...what then? Oo....:))

[RealDavoX]

I own one and I really love it. I just use pants with bigger pockets and that's it :P

[satrifa]

Welke vrouw stopt er nou een smartphone in haar broekzak? Ik heb daar een handtas voor ;-) .De note is echt een aanrader, mijn laptop voelt zich wat verwaarloosd!

[NZtechfreak]

@satrifa True, I've met a few women who own Note's and love them, like you they just carry them in their handbags :)

[ScientSmology]

lol @ hipsterjeans comment

[bambiheo85]

can it fit in skinny jeans ? 

[Mr2Young2KnowBetter]

2 big

[NZtechfreak]

@Mr2Young2KnowBetter Yep, for many it will be too big, those who find it is not too big for them will adore it!

[iMrBencivenni]

Looks ridiculous..

[NZtechfreak]

@iMrBencivenni To each their own...

[Theruben1223]

I have a note.. A jeans and I'm Fat!!! And it's disturbing..... Coz i'm fat!!!

[khairilsaufi]

RATM!!



[NZtechfreak]

@khairilsaufi \m/ \m/

[senor360]

Don't know if it was asked already, but is that a galaxy in your pocket, or are you just happy to see us? :) Cool vid, thx for info.

[NZtechfreak]

@senor360 Might have been asked a few times already, yes :)

[itcomps]

I am over the moon with the Note, although 5.3" large I can carry it in my pants or my work shirt pocket and does the job of a phone and tablet with incredible colors and speed.

Ditched the iPhone, plenty of battery power and easy to sync....

iPhone was a nag with iTune and unable to get to battery.

[NZtechfreak]

@itcomps Nice! A lot of ex-iOS'ers seem very happy with their Notes!

[MrBadgerBaws]

Was that you with tight pants on at the end? Definitely a mans phone! Thanks for the good info!

:)

[NZtechfreak]

@MrBadgerBaws Naw, not me at the end, just a dedicated volunteer!

[luvtrax]

Since I don;t use cases I would think the note would be great replacement for my SGS II

[NZtechfreak]

@luvtrax Absolutely, the HD screen really takes a step up from the SGSII (which I had prior to the Note).

[shanesmith25]

is that a note in ur pocket or are you happy to see me?

Why hold ur hand over your Rod when wearing ur swet-pants ? Does it show the foot print of your unmentionables? Just saying

Thanks for the video wish we had a face to go with the waist lol

[Manchester13United]

Lol bro i wear jeans. -.-'

[ankdude123]

thanks for the video

[CAZZALUM1]

Hey just a quick question, does this phone fit in like stretch-fit jeans and/or school type/ work type formal pants? Just really want to know that cos I'm really considering getting this phone, but just concerned that it'll be too big to fit in my pocket without a struggle.

Very informative video btw. Answered a lot of my questions. Thanks :) :)

[NZtechfreak]

@CAZZALUM1 School/work type pants should be fine, no idea about stretch fit jeans though.

[jj22oo]

Guy Jeans???

[Exilplayer]

thx man , i was worry t that it wil not fit .

But it is no prob :)

[MrRahulzz]

Nice info B-)

[NZtechfreak]

@MrRahulzz Cheers!

[videohost199]

I will not put my SGS in jeans but you want to put huge SGS2 and Note !!! You are epic.

[creative4art]

until you put it in a Shirt pocket and it sticks out like a scientific calculator :)

[NZtechfreak]

@creative4art I'd be careful in here with comments like that, probably more than a few viewers here who have had/still have a pocket calculator in their shirt pocket! ;p

[jocreative]

@NZtechfreak lol rite... could be true, but on the other hand, If you have a note, you wouldn't require an old school calc :)

I used to own a Dell Streak, and I did not like the fact that I could not leave it in my shirt pocket. Switched to Galaxy S2 and love the slim light weight form factor.

Wish GS-Note was slimmer!

[BritishRider]

It fits fine with jeans, you just have to be careful.

[98timtim]

when i saw my s2 for the first time,i thought that it's the biggest smartphone! :D and what now?near Note it's so small! Funny! XD

[TheAnnaL38]

Loved this review! So funny.

The comment about issues for hipster jeans. You made my day. Want the phone badly

[NZtechfreak]

@TheAnnaL38 Thanks!

[XXB4XX]

no way is the note something pocketable. My Galaxy Nexus is right on the verge of being too big, let alone that brick.

[NZtechfreak]

@XXB4XX I think you forgot a few key words in your opening sentence, which should read "no way is the note something pocketable FOR ME". A million Note users are quite happy with it :)

[furQ]

@NZtechfreak well looking at 1:41 I'd say it's objectively far too big, to the point of looking ridiculous.

[Ayoobmarafie]

@XXB4XX i agree with @nztechfreak i have to note and tbh it is more comfortable in my pocket than my iphone 4

[lituvis1]

@lituvis1 Im NOT very good xD ehh whateva

[lituvis1]

@kovelvis Im very good at english so can u plz explain what is that ,,blend" thing?

[NZtechfreak]

@lituvis1 He means will it get destroyed in a kitchen blender, there are lots of youtube videos of the latest devices being destroyed like that.

[kovelvis]

but will it blend?..that is the question :)

[NZtechfreak]

@kovelvis Yeah, already been asked that earlier in comments. Will happily test it out for you when you see me a Note for blender testing.

[mrburns81ify]

Looks like back to the cargo pants. Gonna have to put away my skinny jeans. The only place to put away my galaxy note in my speedos is in my crouch. Lol.

[NZtechfreak]

@CRAKIZGOOD Thanks! Certainly this one has attracted a bit of attention. I think the connectivity demo has a lot more merit, but what are ya gonna do?

[autumnpixiedust]

the question now is: can you get the Note out of your jeans pocket while sitting down? or do you have to stand to take a call? I definitely have no problems with my s2 

[NZtechfreak]

@autumnpixiedust I can take it out of my pockets without standing, others mileage may vary.

[sikontot]

i try to do this at the phone shop, they think i want to steal it

[NZtechfreak]

@sikontot Doh! I can see how they might be concerned :)

[iAnormal13]

The weird thing about this is that your voice in the start and finish makes me sleepier lol, and I see this Galaxy Note in SC and is really big, but is really good for playing games because of the big screen it has, like GTA III is good to play in it

[breva160379]

nice RATM T-shirt.... ;)

and thanks for the video. :)

[NZtechfreak]

@breva160379 Yeah, got that one when they played the Big Day Out here couple of years ago - awesome show!

[stevemcoo1]

wouldnt women carry handbags?

[NZtechfreak]

@stevemcoo1 Yep, I expect so.

[Psyked02]

:D:D:D:D Note in january! *________*

[CRAKIZGOOD]

thank you for this video

[NZtechfreak]

@CRAKIZGOOD You're welcome :)

[JSantana319]

Imagine if Otterbox decides to make a case for this device and how well it would fit in your pocket, lol. Is this phone worth getting? I have an iPhone 4 and I want a larger screen handset because the iPhone's screen is so small that after a long period of use I feel a bit of eye strain. What I do mostly on my device is stream videos, texting, web browsing, checking emails, and listening to music.

[NZtechfreak]

@JSantana319 It's an excellent phone for anyone who can handle the size - I have a massive review at the blog (probably the most comprehensive you'll find on the internet). Worth a read if you're considering buying. Updates since I wrote the review have improved the handsets performance too.

[JSantana319]

@NZtechfreak Thanks, I'll check it out :)

[kmn5]

Thank man! I love the Note, but have been wary of the size as the full time phone

[Xartzmax]

Awesome Video!

[NZtechfreak]

@Xartzmax Cheers!

[dannymack96]

will it fit in to skinny jeans?

[NZtechfreak]

@dannymack96 I think skinny jeans would prove a difficulty (jacket/handbag/manbag might be required).

[vavrorvav]

@dannymack96 i went to the store to try out note how it feels in hand and how it fits in my pocket, the coincidence was that i was wearing my tightest jeans which is good because i did crouch with note in my pocket and it was so comfortable i didnt even feel it was there, so i dont think the size can cause problems, not at all

[dannymack96]

@vavrorvav Thanks mate :) I'm picking one up in january now!

[vavrorvav]

@dannymack96 You're welcome, i'm glad my little trip to the store was usefull, mine should be delivered 20.12.2011 :D

[NZtechfreak]

@vavrorvav Thanks!

[pakistankimaakichute]

Thnx after this video i ditched my sg2 and bought galaxy note. Lovin evry bit of it.

[NZtechfreak]

@pakistankimaakichute Awesome! Glad you're enjoying it!

[deadbirdflyinghome]

For going above and beyond the call of reviewing a piece, and exploring and sharing physical in-pocket phone experiences (which IMHO the humongous galaxy note demands), I thumbs up this video.

[bmw2go11]

pssh

hipsters dont buy phones this big

they all get iphones lol

[komalthecoolk]

Do you drive a bike? How does it fare on that while in the pocket?

[djroo200]

have you heard when it comes out in Oz?

[MickeyGamer]

I think it's too big for a jeans pocket. Especially when you are sitting or moving around. Just uploaded a video: Jeans Pocket Test (click my name). You might wanna check it out. But don't laugh. ;)

[Mojave706]

is that a Samsung Note in your pocket or do we need to meet at my place?

[HomeInNetherlands]

I have the Samsung Galaxy S now, and am debating whether to get the NOTE of SGS 2

Seems like the NOTE is perfect to replace HD camera. tablet, NAVIGation screen, etc.

I wear jackets with the special zip phone pocket in front. and the NOTE would go in there easily.

But the SGS 2 is much lighter than the note.

Still debating, will wait until after Xmas to decide. 

[guyverman]

@HomeInNetherlands Get a note, it's basically a 5.3" HD version of the S2

[alejandrissimo21]

OMG screen should always be against the leg, if you put itin that way screen is easily crack-able

[oOJakkeOo]

Samsung shows us that size doesn't matter in our pockets! 5.3 inch is HUGE and it still isn't that bad when you have it in your pocket. I think that's pretty cool.

[jacblac67]

So if I'm correct cellphones are getting bigger so by this rate il be rocking a 10.1 inch cellphone in 2013?

[analgesics]

great vid

[exoaable]

But what if I'm wearing skinny jeans?

[kiwijunglist]

screen should face inwards so you don't radiate your groin as much.

[NZtechfreak]

@kiwijunglist Yeah, I always have screen inwards (to protect the screen as much as anything). Not sure why I did it that way in the video...

[TheMadCroc]

@kiwijunglist Well most people would put it in that way, because they hope that radiation would cause some gigantism on their groin ;)

[Starriol]

@kiwijunglist And to protect the screen.

[pandavancer]

TV in the pocket

[PECOAAC]

Thank you for making this video. I mean really, I honestly thank you for making these videos for us!

[Atomcitypasi]

IMO this phone is not big,simply its bigger than usual (like SGSII).

[NZtechfreak]

@Atomcitypasi Very subjective thing, for you and I it may not be too big, but for many it will be. If you can handle the size then I highly recommend the Note!

[Harrysound]

How about the partner then :)

[Harrysound]

Could you perhaps do a demo of the leopard skin spandex trouser?

[NZtechfreak]

@Harrysound Ah, you might be on your own wanting to see me in leopard skin spandex (sorry to disappoint).

[tyineurope]

Great video. The note is so much bigger. I think i'll buy the note.

[NZtechfreak]

@tyineurope Choice is great eh!

[iirmantass3]

@NZtechfreak Still, i cant decide for which phone i need to save money. SGS 2 or Note. I'm afraid i can't control note with one hand and it won't fit in my pocket, but if it fit i will crush a screen...

[NZtechfreak]

@iirmantass3 If one-handed use is a biggy for you then I'd say the S2 is where you want to be. If you're looking now it may well be worth waiting a couple of months, there are lots of HD screened devices coming shortly and some will be more pocketable than the Note. If you're buying right now I think the S2 is a fine choice.

[iirmantass3]

@NZtechfreak I can't say that note may be too big for me. I don't have very small hands. But still i'm afraid of that.

[Diwash1]

BOXER POCKETS?

[nachtnite]

Use belt pocket as like a worker!

[NZtechfreak]

@nachtnite No doubt some will find that a good solution.

[Sanaru1985]

SAMSUNG is the best !!

[ravoid36]

Problem, naysayers?

[1ramises]

lol gd vid the comment bout the guys trousers made me lol x

[NZtechfreak]

@1ramises That comment seems to have struck a chord!

[itsMido2]

SEXY voice and accent

[MrExecutivezombie]

@nztechfreak haha yeah, well i used to have a streak so im kinda used to big phones..lets be honest, with droid you need a big screen :P

[MrExecutivezombie]

still want it.

[NZtechfreak]

@MrExecutivezombie Great! If you can watch this and read my review at the blog and the size and flaws don't peturb you then you should adore the Note!

[Richardisonline]

GOOD VIDEO.. CHEERS

[NZtechfreak]

@Richardisonline Thanks!

[guyverman]

Only high school girls that wear size 2 tight jeans worry about the galaxy note fitting in their pockets.

[NZtechfreak]

@guyverman I think for many people a fair comment, but peoples needs are different and shouldn't be dismissed out of hand either. I love the Note, but I think it's hard to escape the fact that this is a niche device.

[SuperSeRoXaT]

hmm i think im gonna buy SGS 2, thanx for video!

[NZtechfreak]

@SuperSeRoXaT Fair enough, glad to help you potentially avoid purchasing the Note when it may not suit your needs!

[bunenehane]

Nice! thanks for the vid demo! ;)



[NZtechfreak]

@bunenehane Cheers!

[Qvn24]

thanks a lot for this video, very informative. Maybe having second thoughts about the note... but its really cool :D

[NZtechfreak]

@Qvn24 No worries, if you're having second thoughts about the Note because of it's size then might be best to try one out in person before jumping in - part of the reason I did the video - help people try and decide that for themselves.

[NZtechfreak]

@PlacidaYu I bet! Would love to see a white one in the flesh (as it were), I tend to prefer black devices though so I'm happy with mine!

[PedroCarlosdoss]

I already change my s2 for the note lol

[KoukiFC3S]

Which carrier are you using and how are the data speeds?

[NZtechfreak]

@KoukiFC3S I'm on Vodafone NZ, speeds quite variable, in good reception areas the speeds are good as far as NZ goes (1MB/s down, 300K/s up).

[mec4plaisir]

Thank you :D

[NZtechfreak]

@mec4plaisir You're welcome :)

[mec4plaisir]

@NZtechfreak Hi! thanks for a such good and informative channel,

Im brazilian living in france, sorry my bad english XD

Do you know if the white galaxy note is available rigth now?

in france Ive called Fnac, even Samsung and they cant answers me.

I saw the white model on the net reviews but never for sale, do you know something about the white model?

Thanks and hugs from Paris.

; )

[NZtechfreak]

@mec4plaisir Your english is just fine! Better than quite a few native speakers that I have met, that's for sure. I've heard that the white model is due before Christmas in Germany, but little else besides that (and as to how good the pre-Christmas release date is I have no idea).

[NZtechfreak]

@mec4plaisir Oh, and thanks for your nice feedback!

[hodsgod]

I have a s2, now I want a note. Fantastic screen size

[NZtechfreak]

@hodsgod Yep, I suspect that many S2 owners will be eyeing the Note as a potential replacement because of it's size, rather than in spite of it.

[ibakerok]

Galaxy Note для больших очень больших членов

[NZtechfreak]

@ibakerok Heh, just translated your comments in Google Translate....

[JamaicanDave1980]

This thing is way too big reminds me of the massive phones we had in the (90's...nice Vid though

[Arvydas93]

... Where is world going? It's not a phone, it's not a tablet. It is piece of trash. It's uncomfortable to write sms with one hand (impossible), it would look very stupid to talk to a brick

[NZtechfreak]

@Arvydas93 Great thing about choice eh? You don't have to buy it.

[iirmantass3]

@NZtechfreak btw i would buy it next year, maybe in summer when it's cheaper.

[chrisfball12]

I never have my cell phone in my pockets I just use a belt holder.
