I have no problems with my Note 2. Perfect size for me. I left apple with the 4s and went to a Galaxy S3, then the Note 2. I hate using anything smaller now. I would recommend a case, as my first Note 2 I shattered the screen when it slipped out of my hand taking it out of my pocket. Landed on its corner on a tile floor and shattered. I had dropped it many other times outside on the ground before that ruined it. The local shop did a crappy job repairing it the first time and ruined it the 2nd time trying to fix their mistake. So I had to get a new one, this one has been in a very slim body glove case with a screen protector for a year or so now. I get a full day out of it easily. I am on wifi most of the day, but bluetooth is on to connect to my car, I get 30 or so emails a day, 30-50 texts and I use it to photograph my damage scenes and take notes that are uploaded and synced to my Dropbox account. I end up doing general browsing on it more than on my tablet, as it is always with me. It is nice to use with Dishanywhere or my slingbox when I'm out and having to wait somewhere. There have been a few times I come home late at night and been at 20% because I've been in a weak Edge or 3G area and it's used more power trying to keep a signal and transfer data on the slower networks.
