The GNote 10.1 review on The Verge was brutal. Probably the most scathing review I've read/seen in awhile.

The UI lag in the Verge and Phone Arena video reviews was distracting to say the least.

Watching The Verge review just makes me sad. There's such potential for running apps side-by-side but anyone defending this implementation is crazy.

I love the Note and only sold it because I fell in love with Pebble Blue and in three months Note II is coming out which I will buy.

People who point out that the Note is being mostly sold in non-US countries act as if Apple doesn't want to enter and dominate those markets.

You guys do understand the Verge is such an Apple biased site that you should just discount whatever they say on competition ? Get your reviews elsewhere.

I must admit that as a phone, the Note would probably be too big for my preference. Having said that, the first time I saw a GS3 I thought it too large, now I have had it a month or so I don't think that I would enjoy a smaller screen again. It really didn't take that long for the size to become the norm. As for one handed use, I can carry out most things with one hand, i.e. sending texts and e mail (Any keyboard I use is located where my thumb would be optimised in use), anything that resides at the top left of the screen (Which is very little) I use my other hand, but that is very infrequent.

I still have an upgrade available, I will take a look at the Note among other phones.

So Apple biased that they made it run like complete garbage on video? Interesting conspiracy theory.
