If size isn't a big issue then take the Note2, it is the best all-round Android at the moment.

I agree with polo.

agree with polo

Guys come on, the note 2 no doubt is a powerful device but it is rather too big for a phone. For business i can understand as its like a mini tab/phone.

Note 2 is massive, I mean massive massive, it doesn't look like a phone but rather a hybrid phone/tablet. The galaxy s3 flashed to jellybean is all you need right now unless you want something that's gigantic.

what polo said. yes its bigger than the s3 but its got a bit moe power under the hood, more screen estate, and the s pen has a bag of goodies. AND its only slighty more expensive. I'm in SA. s3 was R389 on contract and note 2 was 429. I mean that's an extra 40 only. mite as well go all out lol

note 2 just for it extra power every thing else is gimmick

while we discussing these 2 devices lol 1 thing annoys me about the note 2. when I take a pic it doesn't fill up the entire screen. any camera app that would maybe alloy me to do that? its not a big deal but its a bit annoying seeing that the s3 takes up the whole screen when takin a pic

i sold my s3, now want to get note 2 but contemplatin whether to buy it offline or contract, already usin iphone 5 on a contract

Its an aspect ration thing, set your Note2 to take pics at 6MP wide view, then they will fill up the screen. 8MP is 4:3 while 6MP is 16:9.
