Friday morning, bored in the office. Hypothetical question time.

N4 and N7"

Yep, both Nexii.

The Note 2 is probably a bit big for my liking, and would feel strange in my pocket. The N4 would feel just right & I pretty much take a rucksack everywhere I go so I could stick the tab in that.

For the same money.. I'd go for the added flexability that 2 devices would bring. In the old days (of the 2000's) i'd have then had to make sure data was in sync on both devices etc.. thats not going to be a problem in the age of the cloud.

While I actually would probably prefer a Note 2 over a Nexus 4 (just me, since I'd have use for that huge screen on the go), If you can have two devices with you always, get the 2 devices. Using only one device would be heavier on the battery than having two separate devices for different tasks, never mind how good the Note's battery is.

Serious post counts there. I'd better cancel that Note 2 order. ;-)

I think I'd go for your 3rd option, more storage on your phone and you can always tether to your tablet if you're away from WiFi

i have been thinking over the same question...
but: Note2 vs GS3 & Nexus 7

the note2 has so many .. pros:
s-pen
bigger screen for quick access. (the tablet may not be within reach at all times)
can use 64GB sdcard!!!!!!!!!!!

2 devices Pros:
smaller phone for better daily carry around. (that means i wont carry the tablet)
bigger 2nd device for surfing and gaming (when i have it with me)
2 batteries
2 people could use at the same time.

I am on the fence!

I would suggest to get the 2 devices just because it is nice to have 2 instead of 1, the Nexus 4 is a great device and who can say no to a Nexus 7...

Flip phone and the 3g N7.

Flip phone and the 3g N7.

I have been actually been contemplating this recently myself. What do I need a full featured smartphone and 7" tablet for? All I need the phone for is a quick call (don't do much calling), text, or tweet. The tablet can fulfill everything else with its larger screen (why look at Google maps, etc. on a tiny screen?). Either that or go with a phablet like the note 2.

I see that this has gotten people thinking. Well its still making me think as well. No idea what to do.

The options so far :

Nex4 + Nex7 (with 3G)
Nex4 + Nex7 (without 3G, tether it with the Nex4)
Crap phone + Nex7 (with 3G)
Galaxy Note 2

Looks like I'll get the Nex4 and Nex7 (with 3G) since its soon Christmas. I deserve some new toys, the accountant (wife) has already approved and I haven't had a new phone since the Galaxy S. Hopefully these Nexii will last for at least 2 years.
