i have seen dis comments r like 10 months b4r but at dis time jan 2013 ,note is still popullar and der is upgraded verion as note 2 is in town But when it comes to comparisn iphone and note are two completely different phones ,the motive while making each one is way different iphone is ---phone designed 2b handy,fast,convinient and a cellphone but note is first of all phone+tablet =phablet it designed to be a artistic communication masterpiece ,most creative ,superfast ,good memory and a step 4ward in phablet industry Conclusion either phones can not be simply compared on performance or nything else they are simply da best at their best .masterpiecess of thier respective series......And now bottomline i'm buying THE NOTE (its ma choice ,and not on debate which is da best )

talking about galaxy note ofc its superior than the 4s but when the touch is concerned there is no fight for the 4s's touch .i used the note and it gets kind of watery marks since it is all plastic , but 4s is glass .......u get that feel i tell u , note is a lil big to carry and use i must say , well at start it feels good , still overall both are equally good and its on size which would matter to a user.

switched from iPhone 4. have been using for a week so far. Very powerful phone, but sadly, it's on Android. It'll be perfect if it's on iOS.

I am and have been using an iPhone 3GS 32Gig. I have been very very extreamly happy with this device!!! However, being a movie fan user (on Netflix) I have come to really really really like the Note for its much larger screen!!
I have been sitti g on my upgrade for some tonme now. But having serious issue with trying to decide if I want to give up my iPhone and switch to the NOTE. I used to be in customer service with one of the big boys (wireless service), 6 months ago. I can say that there were very little issues with the IOS system and much more PROBLEMS with the Android system (all devices with this system). But the reviews have been EXCELLENT about the NOTE!!!!
For now, I am holding back and staying with the old saying......"IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT"!!!!

PS...leaning towards the note!!!!

Thanks for reading

I recently bought the Galaxy Note; Guys this is an amazing phone, probabaly this is one innovation which will give Cellphone a new dimension. I think this segment will be loved most by the enterprise where you need to depend a lot on corporate emails, collaboration tools and Corporate IM. Along with full entertainment.

For Apple I can only say Apple was no where without Steve Jobs, and this is something which they can understand as this is a bitter truth for them. :-)

I just came from a Iphone that just stopped working for no reason it was pretty cool just stopped connecting to chargers and anything usb. So I picked up a Galaxy note and android runs circles around IOS in every way it is ridiculous.

yes, apple holds half of smart phone market. OR: they have lost 50% market share since inception. Hmmm...which way is the trend line pointing?

Guys, u all are stupid. Why get so mad, just phone! Get what's ever u like. I like both, so I get both, so u won't compare it anymore. Some app what apple got, but not in the android; and what android have , not in apple. They have their own good.
The main thing that we use the smart phone, all are about the apps that we need. Y get so mad ???
