Yes, it's been the beginning of Samsung's Note series with Note II.
I saw with someone and was tempted to buy it. The big screen - biggest at that time was a big plus.
However, two limitations - it was bulky, heave and the battery did not last long (though compared to iPhone of that generation, it was better.)
Things have changed a lot since then - still deserves 5-star for the first phone of that size.
Now it's time for Note 5 - and Note 6 will be out soon, I guess.
