if u can handle a big phone like 5.3" screen phone like note then surely go for it, but if u want a phone that can be easily handled then u should go for sii.
iphone is considerable only if u r ready to spend money on apps as most of the apps on IOS are paid apps.

   I am astonished at some simple flaws in Note.
   The on/off and volume buttons are hidden away in the sleek black design TOO well. I cannot see the. I can barely feel them.. Second, both are positioned exactly where a hand grips the unit. I find myself turning the thing off by mistake, and adjusting the volume by mistake. I have to hold it like a dainty tea cup. Just silly
   And inside, I am experiencing black screens on some installed Google searches...one, sometimes two, pages in. I find the S pen is extremely sensitive. The cover I bought separately...back case that folds over the screen...falls off constantly. The teeth that are supposed to clasp it are pretty weak.
   Other than that, i like it.
