Four Great Reasons to Use the Samsung Note 2 on Verizon Wireless

samsung-galaxy-note-II-2In the everlasting quest to simplify my life, I am looking to condense what I use to communicate with the world. After a while, using both the iPad and the iPhone can be hectic - did I leave that photo on this one or that one? Are my contacts synced? Do I have a full battery?

Verizon Wireless was kind enough to allow me to try a couple of new phones out on their speedy network. I recently tested out the Droid DNA, but wanted to see what else was out there. The Samsung Note 2 struck my eye (and how couldn’t it, it’s huge).

I gave it a run through for a couple weeks, and I found four great reasons to use this cool, cutting-edge smartphones.

Giant Screen
Ultimately I’m getting older and I want my next phone to be something I can see without squinting or without my nose touching the screen. The Note II’s 5.5” screen makes it easy to read “the paper”, browse Twitter, watch the cool Ideas in Motion Media YouTube channel -- you name it.

Stylus
Many of you may have seen my whiteboard -- I love the whiteboard so much that I painted an entire wall of my office to be a giant canvas for brainstorming.. If I had it my way, I’d have the entire office painted so I could just walk around with a dry erase marker. The stylus gave me the ability to diagram many of my ideas on the giant screen out without feeling like a preschooler fingerpainting.

4G Access
Using the iPhone on AT&T running around Northwest Indiana can be spotty. Sometime the phone will connect slow, but still say that I’m on 4G. Sometimes I feel like it’s on 3G and it just says 4G. I didn’t have that problem on the Samsung Note 2, whether I was waiting for a meeting in La Porte or connecting outside my house, the connection was strong and fast.

Fast
I use a wide variety of apps. When using the Note 2, I was able to switch from the ValpoLife app to Facebook to Twitter to Instagram much quicker that I have been used to on my iPhone 4S. The quad-core processor does all the heavy-work for you on this phone.
