Default [Q] Galaxy Note N7000

Hello, I was thinking about getting the Samsung Galaxy Note n7000 later this year,but i've been surfing on various web sites saying that the galaxy note has pretty much issues!

The sound isn't loud when playing music using earphones

S pen gets depolarised

and the screen breaks easily even when its built with corning gorilla glass!

I wanted some opinion of users,who's used this mobile phone for a very long time as well as people who had these problems with the Note! Thank you!

Well I find the music is very loud when through earphones (however the speaker on the phone is pretty poor)

Had no issues with S pen

and havnt got a single mark on my screen since I got it (touch wood) and I dont use a case or screen protector etc

    function checkFather($father) {
        if ($father-]name == 'Darth Vader')
            die('NOOOOO!!');
    }
}

Hmmm, odd. I think the earphones are too loud, even on the lowest setting. But this can really depend on what earphones you use.

The s-pen isn't polarised to begin with.

The screen will break more easily compared to smaller phones, because it's bigger and thus more fragile. A good case is recommended.

Well, the volume of music differs from rom to rom, and the first thing I did when I got it was flash ICS. But I use it as my main mp3 player and the volume is fine, I usually only have it halfway up. The supplied in-ear headphones are pretty good, too. Better then my Apple ones. I barely use the s-pen, and I don't have the Note for long enough to comment on that. Though I don't really see what the s-pen has to do with biology. I don't think what you've read is true. I have never dropped my Note as I'm very careful, but I did watch some drop tests of the Note and it fared pretty well. But you should know, compared to my last phone (4.3 inch), I find the Note to be a bit unwieldy. It's not uncomfortably large, but I am pretty scared of dropping it because of the size.

The sound is plenty loud enough. I'm a musician, and I like bit of volume, depends on what you're plugging into the audio jack. I put a screen protector on from day 1 = no scratches. S Pen works as advertised. The Note is not military spec, so if hit it with a sledgehammer it might break.
