Today is the last day of my 5 Days of Gadget Giveaways and I’m ending it with the Samsung Galaxy Note 3! As a new owner of the Note, I have to say that it’s incredible! I had the opportunity to get to know my new Android device with Samsung Mobile at their #TheNextBigThing event in New York City
Sometimes called a phablet- this phone approaches tablet size (get it? phone+tablet = phablet!) with a 5.7” screen, a camera that takes stunning photos and features a wealth of settings like beauty face to make your pictures even better, and an incredibly responsive S Pen stylus that’s a dream to use because its responsiveness and the way it just feels when it makes contact with the screen.
I could go on and on but I think I’ll save that for my full review coming in 2014! In the meantime, here’s how Sprint describes the Note 3:
Who will love it: Discerning early adopters who crave the most advanced mobile technology on the market which also represents the pinnacle of sophistication, beauty and raw processing power. Die-hard enthusiasts whose foremost purpose is to seek the most superlative iteration of such an the market, and for whom sporting such a sizeable silhouette in their pockets is anything but cumbersome- it’s a status symbol.
Why it rocks: Representing a dramatic evolutionary leap in the Note series, the Galaxy Note 3 features cutting-edge specifications, with a breathtaking 5.7” display and an astounding 23 hours of talk time, thanks to it’s 3200 mAh Li-ION removable battery.
And with a sleep new companion in the Samsung Galaxy Gear, the first in a new category of wearable technology, your experience is more intuitive and futuristic than ever before. Use glance notifications to keep up with calls, texts, and emails- without ever looking at your Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Misplaced your beloved Note 3? No worries, Galaxy Gear will help you find it.
Work smarter: Interact with your phone like never before using the S Pen. Handwriting input lets you jot notes, compose emails, or write text messages by turning your handwriting into text. You can quickly jot down a number and then automatically add to your contacts later with Action Memo. And if you use your S Pen a little more creatively, you can share your creation with the world on Pen.Up.

It’s always better to give than to receive, but if I’m lucky enough to win this for Christmas, I’m keeping it for my husband and I. Our entire Christmas budget went to our kids, so it’d be nice to have a little non-budget-affecting treat for ourselves.

I like putting a smile on someone if I can, like my mom, she’s my everything and once in a while I like surprising her. But if I win this phone ! This would be her next surprise for Christmas !! 🙂

The note 3 would help keep my 3 year old busy on long trips and he could practice writing his letters.

I need another device like I need a hole in my head, but this some fun tech. I’d probably give my pristine Nexus 7 to a needy family member and move up to the the Samsung Note 3 and look to replace my phone and the Nexus.

Not to be repetitive, but #YearLongZen would be achieved by not having to worry about my hubby wrecking my computers. If he had this I can more easily enforce the DO NOT TOUCH rule that has now been instituted!
That will create a lot of zen for me!

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will give me zen the whole year through because:
1. More speed
2. More storage space
3. Bigger
4. No more choosing between texts or updated phone
5. Sync my accounts
6. It’s a SAMSUNG
7. The Stylus and everything it can do
8. Dual screen capability
9. Front facing picture
10. Everything not mentioned above
On most occasions, I will go by the philosophy that it is better to give, but in this one instance, I am the only one with a phone so pathetic, old, and dilapidated that I gonna have to say, I’ll be keeping this one.
