So you carry the already huge phone, and still add a huge pen?
Pls educate me.

Thanks

Everyone uses tech differently for their own applications and usage scenarios.

In my particular case, I use my Note for a lot of note taking, diagramming, sketching... I don't find the S-pen very comfortable to use for extended periods of time. So having some alternative pen options is a good thing.

What is your profession? I mean if you need that much of note taking, diagramming, sketching, wouldn't you benefit more from a tablet?

Well, I am an engineer and the Note has replaced my Moleskin that I used to carry around in case I am caught in the hall with "Can you, could you, would you" tasks that usually evaporate from my brain before I can get back to my desk.
I might be biased because I haven't used a mouse in over a decade, I've been on digitizers and for the last 3 have been wacoms, I have used their Intuits 2-4 and a Cintiq, I am used to their accuracy. Trying to do charts, designs or paint with a mouse is like trying to paint with a brick. Once you try one, you'll never go back!

The stylus with the Note is a full wacom stylus not one of those inaccurate crayons that iPads have to use, it has pressure and accuracy so it is like writing with a mechanical pencil right down to erasing like one! It measures pressure so if I write harder, the line gets thicker and darker...and yes, sometimes a picture is worth more than a thousand words!

As for a tablet; this is more portable than a tablet, it is always in my pocket. It is more accurate (as said above) than any tablet (which the best one out there is the iPAD right now, I admit it!) but this is better than an iPAD or iPhone!

I am so used to having a pencil for my Moleskin that a stylus feels quite normal. I am desperately looking for a Wacom Cross but it is a quest that I suspect I will never complete!

Try one for a week, you might never go back! This is a device for business. This is proof that cowardly Microsoft would have had a runaway success if they had released the Courier...this is at least a Moleskin journal to the what could have been the Courier being a Franklin Planner...ah was might have been!

I tried my wacom pin and no luck :( I have the new wacom pad and pin with multi touch

What difference would my profession make? I have coworkers who don't like the Note... its really up to the individual.

I can't explain it any better than what HoneyBadger said. The Note is infinitely more useful to me because since it's a cell phone, I carry it around with me all the time. It pushes the edge of pocketability so I'm getting the maximum amount of screen real estate for its portability.

A Moleskin is a perfect analogy. I used to carry around IPAQs like the hp4700 which is nearly comparable in size.

I've also been scouring ebay for the wacom cross pen but still can't find one.

I would have never thought of the darn thing if you hadn't mentioned that it was working with other styli with erasers, thanks!

I have a few of these for my tablet-pc in case I lost one.

BTW, there are a lot of "motion Stylus" in a Google search, which one are you recommending specifically? Link?

The Motion Stylus I like is part #504.500.01 which is the stylus shaped like a fountain pen. I don't have enough posts to display a link. I could PM it if you're interested.

The Fujitsu pen you had linked will work as well.

"A Moleskin is a perfect analogy. I used to carry around IPAQs like the hp4700 which is nearly comparable in size."

We must be from the same tribe, I also had a Hx4700 and loved it. This does seem to be its inheritor.

This one?

Not sure if anyone has tried this one but I like it and was wondering if it would work also?

I like that it has a clip.
Cant find a thread dedicated to alternate stylus or links to items.
Thanks

Edit: just found a thread... lol but still looking for an answer please....

Yes, that pen should work with the Note. The tablets that are listed in the link, such as the R10 and M200 have Wacom penabled digitizers that are compatible with the Note.
