Samsung Galaxy Note for AT&T

AT&T's version of the Samsung Galaxy Note will run on the carrier's new LTE network.

Samsung Galaxy Note With S-Pen

The Galaxy Note comes with an "S-Pen" stylus that fits into a slot in the "phablet." You don't need to use the S-Pen, but the device comes with some neat drawing apps that take advantage of it.

Samsung Galaxy Note Drawing App

Here's one of the drawing apps; it's a quick notepad that you can pop up over your home screen. You can see the pressure sensitivity of the pen in action by the varying thickness of the lines I drew.

Samsung Galaxy Note Setup

The AT&T model of the Galaxy Note comes with a special app that helps you set it up and configure it.

Samsung Galaxy Note Top

The Galaxy Note is very slim - it's just large in the other two dimensions. The "phablet" feels like it's made of quality materials, cool and slick.

Samsung Galaxy Note Compared

The Galaxy Note, with its 5.3-inch screen, is significantly longer and wider than the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket, which is already a sizeable phone. There lies my worry.
