I agree, redo the review when ICS launches. FYI, the international version got a 7/10, the AT&T got a 8/10

Thanks Franc. Out of curiosity could you measure out the HTC zeta as well. Definitely a rumored phone but very intriguing.

Can you not tell? If you have a device that's 5"x2.5" and the screen is 3", that's a lot of wasted space. The more efficient the device the less unnecessary bulk you need to lug around.

I saw xperia sx has wider bezel... but again from graph it surpass oneS where less bezel... which means it almost irrelevant and conflict to the customer. Wastage sometime mean to leave some space to user when using two hand for gaming and avoid the touchscreen get dirty...

? How do you hold a phone when you game? I don't understand how having a bezel has anything to do with fingerprints. And the side bezel isn't the only only thing taken into account. The top and bottom are also bezels which is why the iPhone scores so low. Anyway, you're kinda talking nonsense and making me think I fell into a troll trap. I'm done here.

it depends on how tall you are and what you want your phone to do!! Im 6'7" 240lbs athlete so the S3 would be too small for me The note is perfect because of not only screen size, but its performance is definitely better than the Streak lol. The S3 could be the best phone for the average American. Only time will tell if that is true, but im not average so the Note is the best phone for me

The Samsung galaxy tab 7.7 has calling capabilities. If you were really looking for a good fit, that might do it. ;D

Depends how much you want the new features of the S3 and newer tech vs the larger screen relestate along with the S-pen features of the Note.

Try em both out in the store and then decide would be best way to decide
