Phones reach their boring mark within about 6 mos for me. This is the first phone I've had in years in which I don't see myself getting bored with it. I've had people ALL day asking me if they can hold it. I said "you can hold any phone you want at the store!"
AND I still haven't been to sleep since Wed. Hyped about getting it. Hyped I have it. Hyped every time I put it down I pick it back up.
Oh and here's a shocker....by now many of us have a bunch of micro usb cords so since they're all over my house I didn't take the one that came with the note out the box until much later in the afternoon.
I was STUNNED I tell you; it was so long. Samsung's cords are notoriously short and haven't been much to write home about. This was definitely pleasing if you're into that sorta thing.
