I'm coming from a Desire Z, and still own it so I can directly compare.
I can not go back to anything smaller screen wise.
The note has MUCH better audio quality for phone calls, I hear other people much better, like they are there with me.
I was shocked about the Desire Z audio quality when I switched to it from a HTC Hero. The Hero sounded much better...
My Note reminds me of the Blackberry Bold 9780 for audio clarity in phone calls, which is to say it is perfect.
For music I have no idea, since I don't use my phones for that, but I know the Desire Z had a very clean output from the reviewers that tested it, and the Note having the same Yamaha crap that the S2, maybe it is less good that the Desire Z.
So the Note has much better sound for phone calls, but surely worst quality for music. By which mesure I don't know...
Otherwise, it is just not comparable. It's another world entirely.
Screen. Speed. Power. Saves my eyes. Feels lighter in my hand. Takes awesome pictures and video... etc.
Go ahead and get it. !!!
