yes it's true I see the Galaxy Note 2 as a gimmick because it's not a phone but a mini tablet that makes phone !!! I do not separate myself more: internet, information, small fun games, personal rating and my job. This is really a top product !!! The format is actually a bit imposing, no bp to put it in the back pocket of jeans but then you forget to sit with! The battery life is excellent, the beautiful screen !!!! In short I am more than happy with my purchase for which I took advantage of the discount offer of 70 euros Samsung (to date I was reimbursed for 70 euros promised)
