Got mine today and this thing is amazing  By far the best phone I've ever had. Coming from the original Note I can say this one is much faster and more fluid throughout the whole UI, the screen is better, it feels better in the hand and better in the pocket. The new S-Pen is better with some great new functions  All in all a very good upgrade which to my eyes looks stunning

A picture of my phone compared to two BlackBerries below.
I noticed something which annoyed me, front camera light is always on when the screen is locked, it is very faint so you will need to be in a dark place to see it, do you have the same thing?

I think i want the GNote II again 
Samsungs incredibly smooth UI with Jelly Bean, features, hardware (2GB RAM, 1.6GHz Exynos Quad, 5.5inch display, S Pen etc...) and now the incredible battery life, Samsung continue to make the best allround Androids.
Screw what i said about wanting a One X+ i still want a GNote II if i upgrade this year.

I found the reason, this is for the "Quick glance" feature, disable the feature and the light switches off 
Thanks Tsepz_GP, you should buy one as soon as it hits the market .
So far this is the only phone that I have ever waited for, I bought it the second day of release, I was busy on day one

It's nice but still bit too big to carry around on the streets especially. Would be the type of phone I'd use at home but not outside. Also I do wish Samsung would make the design a bit more different from GS3 and other models. Apart from size it's hard to tell them apart and their designs are dull. The pop up window is innovative and cool but not practical. Are you really going to type something on screen and watch a movie?? I tried it with GS3 and found it annoying kind of just in the way distracting. A silly gimmick imo but still would love to see that sharper screen as it's non pentile this time  But when I seen a video it has some innovative functions and yes Samsung continue to get better and better much to the annoyance of Apple. And the ideas they have in this device are their own. Nobody seems to beat them now. For me a 4.5 to 4.8 inch is as far as I'd go not 5.5 inch

73 hours of endurance on a 5.5" screen is truly impressive! Really an amazing phone from samsung! But i doubt I could live with its size! It seems to be too big for being carried around on a regular basis considering s3 was hard for me to use. How do you guys find it in terms of size? I think this looks much more balanced than s3..

The Note II is a winner. Heck I meant a killer.. 
I'd really like to get one! Problem is having this with a 920 and a tablet is too much!
I'll have to pick between the S-Pen + battery life and PureView + WP8.
Maybe next year we'll have them all together in one device.. I can dream, can't I..
