Samsung Galaxy note is really good and mini tablet to use. But using this as phone is not good idea. I would love to watch movies and play games on galaxy note.

samsung galaxy note has better resolution

Sorry: made a mistake in my post. I meant that Galaxy Note has 16 or 32 GB internal storage. GB, not MB.

Sharanga

I think you may have overlooked some points. Galaxy S has fixed internal storage. But, Galaxy Note has not only internal storage of either 16 or 32 MB, but also a MicroSD slot for an additional card of upto 32 GB, which is almost like unlimited storage if you have a number of cards.

Actually, each phone has its own advantages; what people need to see is which one is better for your your own lifestyle (and also, whether you really need one of these).

Why don't you mention it politely instead of getting abusive?

Galaxy Note has a 2500mAh battery. Dominates the S2. You're comparing S2(2g) and Note(3g)

Hello All... I have something to tell you guyzzz... If you want to have a smart phone then go for Samsung Galaxy S II atleast it is handy and take away type... !
If you want a note book type and if you want to use it for your work too then you can take Samsung galaxy note... But it's big in size and never imagine handling it like a smart phone.. But obviously you have big good looking screen in SS Note.. I vote for SSG SII since it's more than expected... great phone :)
