Packing a "ginormous" 5.3-inch Super AMOLED display and a dual-core 1.4GHz processor, can the Korean chaebol's smartphone find success where the Dell Streak failed ? Announced at the IFA keynote in Berlin in September, the Galaxy Note was remembered for its huge 5.3-inch HD Super AMOLED display. Featuring a dual-core 1.4GHz processor and a special S Pen stylus, Samsung's gadget is positioned right between the current crop of large-screen smartphones and smaller 7-inch tablets.
 
The good: Fast performance; high-resolution screen; stellar battery performance; snappy camera; will have Ice Cream Sandwich update.
 
The bad: Might not be suitable for people with small hands (for one handed typing).
 

The bottom line: It could either be the largest smartphone or the smallest tablet you can own, but the Galaxy Note is a great gadget to have, especially with its top-notch performance and high-resolution display.
