Thinking about getting this phone now...

Do you find it too big to carry and hold?

I went from iPhone 5>S4>Note 3...

The i5 to the S4 was seamless for me. The N3 is taking some getting use to due to the what I feel are rough edges which would be mitigated by slapping a case on it. The clarity is just astounding on the N3. Stark difference between the S4 and N3, almost as if they coated the screen with some sort of filter prior to the oleophobic coating. The size is a non-issue for me as I have relatively large hands.

The Note is a big device and 90% of the time, I have no problem carrying and using it for my day to day use. But there are occasions where the size becomes cumbersome.

The only way you'll know if its to big for you is to handle one in person and play with it for a while.

Don't have a case on it yet, I ordered the W/NeoHybrid from Spigen.

I have the Spigen bounce case on mine and even though the case is thin, it still adds a bit of size. It's probably due to the more squarish box shape of the phone. It's less curvy and round compared to the Note 2.

Not sure what carrier you're with but AT&T has the G2 right now for $50 on a two year contract. That's a deal.
