I'll update as more information comes in.

Sounds way too big for me but i bet it'll sell really well.

I take it this wont run on US networks?

Who in their right mind would hold that next to their face and talk on it as a phone.... -_-' seriously i thought 5.3 was massive. This is just over the top. 4.7/4.8 is the maximum sweet spot for a phone, and thats pushing it.mystic_knight

This is a 5.5" 16:9 screen whereas the note 1 is a 5.3" 16:10 screen. It's actually narrower than the note 1 but taller. Since the GS3 is already 4.8" the note will lose it's purpose if it's not significantly bigger.

If you ask me the perfect size is 4.5" 16:9 with on screen buttons so whats the best size is really a matter of preference. For anyone who finds this too big can simply go for the galaxy S3.

Actually to me its not that big. I got my note back in July and honestly that is standard phone size for me now. When I see my friends with their phones they are too small for me and I could never go back. And why does everyone make such a big deal about putting it up to your ear and looking wierd. It doesn't look wierd at all when I talk on my note.

I use my Galaxy Note as a phone probably 5% of the time. The remaining 95% is doing things on an awesomely big screen!

I like the look of the new one, but I think I might try something else next.

"include"?? You can just buy one!!Gambler_3

Wow a 5.5 inch screen? Phones these days are getting way too big. Something of this size is like carrying around a tablet in your pocket.

I guess I must have small hands, using one hand I can't even reach every corner of the 4.65 inch screen of my Galaxy Nexus.

I think the maximum size a phone should get is like 4.65 inches. The Nexus I think is a perfect size.

I understand the point of a phablet though, but eh. I think 5.5 inches is WAY too big.
