Both phones are the best ever, but I like the Note 2 more.
I wasn't sure if I would like the note 2 as well as the note, but I do. It just seems to flow pretty easy. Maybe because it is my second note and I'm used to using some of the features. I was worried about the thinner screen because I like the large display but I adjust to the difference without much problem so I'd say okay to the slimming down and inching up a bit. It does seem quicker. And the Voice search was a little easier for me. Overall no complaints at this time and I changed from an iphone I had had for 3 years. iphone was just too small screen for my use.
