Exactly boogieboy. Not to forget that Note 2 has 2gb RAM and Samsung is making its full use by providing the multiview feature.

The specs are all well and good, but the best thing is to see the phones first hand and try them out.

I was all set to get the HTC Evo 4G LTE when I spied the Motorola Photon Q. I really thought I might go for the Photon instead, but I went to my local Sprint store to see them both. Fortunately they were close enough where I could use them side-by-side. I loaded a few YouTube videos and watched how they were handled. I browsed the application icons and checked out the responsiveness. Overall they are both very respectable phones, but the EVO won out for a few subtleties that I couldn't witness just viewing these phones on-line. Definitely see your phone first hand before buying, as you'll be using this device on a daily basis for a long time.

Because of the big screen and lot of RAM, you can work on 2 apps simultaneously at a time. For example, on half screen, you're watching a movie and on the other half screen, you're browsing the web.

^ I couldn't see "multi-tasking" on such a small device. But bring that to the iPad and now you're talking. ;)

I have no idea what all this actually means
thanks for the links LPt they certainly are useful and also explains that Note 2 is superior than S3 and this one Nexus.

Dinesh thanks for explaining multiview and it sounds really fantastic as i used to thought about having this kind of feature in phones now it's Note 2 there's no doubt it attracts me towards itself more now.

Cytherian thanks for the advise and i agree that i should try it out before buying although i used a friends S3 and it really felt nice using it but Note 2 seems bigger and better in appearance and performance wise.

:)

^ Yeah, the Note is definitely bigger... it's kind of like an iPad mini. I find that form factor a bit clumsy to use as a primary phone, but if you tote around a briefcase/laptop-case everywhere you go then it should work out fine.
