This thing is a work of art. If it was just a massive phone running Android it would be a win, but throw in the gobs of S Pen functionality, and this thing is just plain amazing. Smooth buttery Android 4.1 Jelly Bean runs just as great as on my Nexus 7, and Sammy's flavor of it is really not bad. We'll see how long it takes for me to decide to root and Flash some ROM's on here, but let it be testament that I usually have my phones rooted and flashed in a couple hours. This one I want to just wait and enjoy all it has to offer before I muddy up the waters. There's even a setting where if you get up and walk away from your S Pen, the phone notifies you by sound and Notification. How awesome is that? Oh, and 50GB free space on Dropbox too.
If you think you can leverage all this beast has to offer, buy this phone.
