lol 5'9 - 5'10 either way, what if you're not small or average?

Lets find out. How about you go and buy a Note II and test drop it from 13 feet.

Because people are 13 feet tall, right?

The next LG super phone is also going to have quad core. It will be here before Christmas. I owned their last super phone and it was junk. They had the first dual core on the market.

I am hesistant to try phones from companies that are not really PHONE companies.

Can someone talk about the pros n cons of this phone?

It's BIG. You don't realize it until you see it in person. It's almost awkwardly large if you hold it to your ear to talk. I got to see the original Note in person at a former job. That said, man does it ever give you incredible cross-functionality with its size. The guy who had it said he loved it because he could get online and read power point presentations for his classes. Don't remember what he said about battery life.

Yeah, that alone is the selling point for me.

I love what I see but I wonder what the battery life will be on that.

Well, from what I understand, the processing is better in an economic way. It doesnt just eat away at battery.

Perfect example: I had a droid bionic, I bought a $100 mugen brand battery. It took the battery from 1700 mah to 4000mah. But the bionic was such a battery hog it didnt improve the battery life as much as expected.

Example 2: I had a HTC rezound with same 4000mah battery and that phone lasted almost 2 days with regular use.

I have the 4S but I think I want to move on from apple but the S3 looks like a plastic toy so hopefully this note 2 is a beast.

I hear ya and agree. It does feel cheap but its lighter. Also, most people put cases on these things. I like the toughbook-looking cases that are available.
